"Hehehe, I'm afraid you have no choice in this! I won't let such valuable goods slip by," Kakuzu said as he rushed toward Yakushi Kabuto.

"Halt! Who are you to dare oppose Konoha!"

"Judging from your clothes, you shouldn't be one of Orochimaru's people. Why are you helping him?"

"Get out of here quickly! Sasuke Uchiha is a rogue ninja of Konoha, and we must bring him back!"

The leaders of Root and Anbu took turns trying to stop Kakuzu, but to no avail. He continued to arrogantly press forward, and in the end, the Konoha ninja caught in the middle had no choice but to attack Kakuzu.

"Wind Release: Vacuum Jewel"

Fire Release: Fire Dragon Bullet

"Earth Release: Earth Dragon Bullet"

"Water Escape: Water Breakthrough"

In an instant, wind, fire, earth, and water surged toward Kakuzu, making it difficult for him to advance.

"Damn it, you're getting in my way of making money!"

Wind Release: Pressure Damage

Fire Release: Head Carving

Kakuzu was furious about everything that prevented him from making money. Seeing how ungrateful these Konoha ninjas were, he activated his chakra, and the wind and fire ninjutsu masks on his shoulders once again erupted with violent ninjutsu.

The two masks spewed out violent vortexes of wind, like a vast sea of ​​flames, and the combination of the two formed a high-temperature flame storm that powerfully pressed down on the Konoha ninja.

The disparity in strength rendered the Konoha ninjas' attacks futile. The firestorms were swept up by Kakuzu's attacks and, along with the burning clods of earth and trees, crashed down on the Root and Anbu ninjas, causing widespread agony.

When the attack subsided and the dust settled, more than a dozen Konoha ninja corpses lay on the ground.

"Damn it, you masked monster, your fire almost burned the great Manda-sama!"

Manda was happily attacking from behind while Kakuzu was attacking the Konoha ninjas when it was suddenly scorched by the flame storm, instantly enraging it. It completely ignored the Konoha ninjas and twisted its massive body to teach Kakuzu a lesson.

Kakuzu paid no attention to Manda's roar. He suddenly raised his hand and threw a punch. The hard fist instantly left his arm and was connected by dense black threads, striking a spot on the edge.

"Wind Release: Great Breakthrough"

Orochimaru formed a hand seal and exhaled a gust of wind that deflected Kakuzu's fist. In the next instant, the fist was pulled back by black threads and rejoined Kakuzu's arm.

"What kind of monsters are these?!"

The eerie scene terrified the Konoha ninja, who all considered retreating. Kiba Inuzuka even cried out in alarm.

"Hehehe, Kakuzu, do you really have to keep arguing like this?"

Your main target should be the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, right? I'm determined to get Sasuke, so I hope you won't push me any further.

"What nonsense! You were the organization's target all along!"

Hidan, dissatisfied with not having a chance to show off, retorted to Orochimaru before charging at the Konoha ninja with his three-moon scythe.

Today, Hidan will proclaim the greatness of the evil god to the number one ninja village in the ninja world!

"If you want to fight, then fight! Do you really think I'm afraid of you? Kabuto, step back a bit and protect my Sasuke."

Orochimaru was also a person who cared about his reputation. He got angry when Hidan insulted him like that, and he gave an order to Kabuto Yakushi before starting to attack.

"The Formation of Ten Thousand Serpents"

Orochimaru lay down on the spot and slightly opened his mouth. Instantly, countless colorful venomous snakes poured out of Orochimaru's mouth, piling up into a mountain of snakes in a short time, and then scattering in all directions to indiscriminately attack everyone present.

"Damn it, what the hell is going on here?!"

The leaders of the Root and Dark Divisions were in a terrible predicament. Not only had their original plan failed, but their teams had also suffered heavy losses. Now, they were attacked from both sides and unable to advance or retreat, so they had no choice but to fight back. The battlefield was in complete chaos.

"Tsk tsk tsk, what a show!"

On the cloud, Hinata Kaze stroked Mikoto's smooth, creamy skin at her waist while admiring the spectacular scene reflected in the water mirror.

Aside from Orochimaru's ninjutsu being a bit disgusting, the sound and visual effects of the battle below were quite good, much better than Hollywood blockbusters. These ordinary Konoha ninjas didn't bother him, and he was too lazy to bully the weak now, but watching the show was still quite enjoyable.

Feeling the large hand groping her waist, Mikoto blushed deeply; her son was right there in the middle of the battlefield. Being teased in this situation was still difficult for her to accept, even with all the new knowledge she had acquired in recent years.

Seeing the battle below growing increasingly intense, with various ninjutsu and ninja tools flying around haphazardly, and some attacks almost hitting the wooden barrel where Sasuke was hiding, Mikoto became increasingly embarrassed and anxious.

She couldn't help but plead with Hinata Kaze: "Master, please save Sasuke. This chaotic battle is too dangerous."

“Mikoto, I only promised to bring you to see Sasuke, I didn’t say I would help. Look at the situation now, Orochimaru, the Akatsuki’s immortal duo, and a large group of Konoha ninjas, it’s too dangerous. I can’t just take action without any explanation.”

Hinata Kaze's words were full of teasing. Mikoto's fair and delicate face immediately turned even redder. Mikoto was already very familiar with her master and knew that he must be thinking of something to torment her again.

But in order to protect her son, Mikoto could only shyly bite her luscious red lips and continue to plead, "Please, Master, Mikoto is already yours. I will grant you any request you have, okay?"

Mikoto's words immediately energized Hinata Kaze. He stopped looking at Mizukage and pulled Mikoto into his arms, looking down at her with a mischievous grin.

"I want to explore a new path in martial arts."

Upon hearing this, Mikoto bit her red lips tightly with her pearly teeth, her face turning even redder than her lips. She lowered her head in shame and murmured, "Master, you are a grandmaster in martial arts. You decide what path to forge. Mikoto can only cheer you on."

After a pause, noticing the battle below was becoming increasingly critical, Mikoto continued, promising, "I can also help Master motivate Kurenai and the others, and try my best to get them to join in too!"

For her son's sake, Mikoto could only console herself, thinking that she couldn't resist her master's forceful demands anyway, and agreeing was only a matter of time. But why should she be the only one to try something so shameful? If we're going to be embarrassed, let's all share the shame.

Hearing Mikoto's words, Hyuga Kaze immediately became excited. Lately, Kurenai, Anko, and Mikoto had been battling it out, leaving him with very little time to enjoy himself. His robust body was brimming with pent-up energy, and the unreleased energy in Hyuga Kaze's gaze towards Hinata had become somewhat strange.

At this moment, Hinata Kaze couldn't wait to get rid of those annoying ants below so he could pave a new path for taijutsu, and he agreed at the door.

"Don't worry, Sasuke is also my brother, how could I not save him?"
