Chapter 698 Tacit Understanding



During the Chunin Exams more than two years ago, Mizuki's student Aburame Shino performed a feat of using summoning parasitic bugs to set up a mobile barrier. The barrier technique was so varied that it could be freely controlled and incorporated changes in the nature of chakra, causing Tenten to suffer a miserable defeat.

As his teacher, how could Shuimu not know these moves? In the beginning, these aquatic summoning beasts, which were basically powerless, were cultivated because they could be cultivated without restraint and did not need to be raised at a high cost. Besides being able to collect their collective will and refine their chakra, they also had the idea that they might be of great use someday.

And now is the time for these fragile mollusks to show their prowess once again.

It has been some time since Uchiha Itachi and Hoshigaki Kisame arrived.

Although there was an lingering murderous intent in the air, the two experienced men had seen scenes of this magnitude more than once or twice.

With the help of Uchiha Itachi's superb Sharingan illusion, basically no one could detect the invasion of the two.

However, convenience also has its limits. Even if it can deceive people, it may not be able to deceive various traps and barriers that lack any subjective consciousness.

"This is almost the limit. We can no longer move forward silently."

Uchiha Itachi stated the matter-of-fact fact with an expressionless face.

It's not impossible for just two people to fight the enemy head-on, but the chances of winning are not very high. Moreover, they have to capture the tailed beast, so the chances of success are even smaller.

"Then let my Samehada lead the way!"

No matter what kind of trap it is, as long as chakra is used, it will only be destroyed in front of Samehada's indiscriminate devouring.

"etc!"

Uchiha Itachi stopped Hoshigaki Kisame who was about to make a move.

All I heard was a sudden commotion in the distance, and the sound of chakra's agitation came over.

"The leader said we would have reinforcements?"

Uchiha Itachi shook his head:

"It's probably not one of ours."

Judging from the sounds of shouting and killing, it seemed that a group of assassins were attacking the defense line.

"That's good!"

No matter how you look at it, it doesn't seem like the two of them are being used as pawns to divert attention. Up to now, this side hasn't been discovered yet, but the other side has already launched an attack. Instead, it seems like they are creating conditions for himself and Uchiha Itachi.

"Let's go. No matter who it is, we can't let down other people's kindness."

Taking advantage of a loophole in the opposite side's defense line, the two men made another detour and gradually went deeper into the core area.

"It seems that besides us, there are others who dislike Konoha and the Mist Ninjas!"

The two were a rebel ninja from Konoha and a rebel ninja from the Hidden Mist Village respectively, so it was natural for them to be enemies here.

After breaking through the first line of defense, Hoshigaki Kisame stepped on the water and weighed it.

"This is a nice place for me, but it's a little bad for you, Itachi!"

The closer we get to Sanwei, the thicker the fog becomes.

"Don't be careless, there is a compound barrier ahead!"

Uchiha Itachi looked up at the sky, but found nothing. The diffuse mist covered the surroundings in a gray haze.

"The familiar smell of chakra."

Hoshigaki Kisame gave a few dry laughs.

"My shark muscles can hardly be held down any longer."

If you haven't memorized the enemy's chakra characteristics after repeated battles, you are too forgetful.

"A familiar smell?"

Uchiha Itachi turned his head and looked in one direction, but there was only thick fog there.

"What's there?"

"Some old friends!"

Uchiha Itachi replied indifferently.

"Let's catch the three tails first!"

At this moment, a sharp ball of chakra broke through the thick fog and rushed straight towards Hoshigaki Kisame's face.

At the critical moment, Hoshigaki Kisame held Samehada across his body, and the broad sword protected his body. The chakra ball forced both him and the sword to slide back more than ten meters on the water.

As Samehada squirmed, the enemy's attack gradually vanished.

"Who?"

What answered Hoshigaki Kisame were two green figures attacking him in an intersecting manner, mixed with rain of ninja tools and hidden weapons.

"Even after being attacked by the soft fist technique - Bagua Kongzhang, you were able to deal with it calmly. You are indeed an incredible master. Hoshigaki Kisame, we meet again."

Two figures, one big and one small, with thick eyebrows appeared, and walking out of the mist also came Hyuga Neji and Tenten who were ready to go.

At the same time, Uchiha Itachi was also given special attention. Asuma Sarutobi held the sharp blade Feiyan in both hands, with an unextinguished cigarette in his mouth. On his left hand was the masked Mist Ninja Anbu sword and his subordinates.

"It's been a long time since I last saw you. Uchiha Itachi, you're here after all."

"Senior Asuma, if I can help it, I don't want to fight with you."

After saying that, the scarlet Sharingan looked at the thick fog behind them.

"Are there white eyes there too?"

"This is your Jedi, accept your fate..."

Before he finished his words, a dazzling light flashed in the distance, and a silver laser cannon swept across, heading exactly in the direction where Uchiha Itachi and Hoshigaki Kisame were.

"Tailed Beast Cannon, are Kabuto Yakushi and Orochimaru crazy?"

Apart from the Akatsuki organization and the five major ninja villages, the only one who still controls the power of the tailed beasts is Orochimaru.

Now they are the only ones who can use it this way.

"Are you determined to do the right thing with us?"

They rescued Uchiha Itachi and Hoshigaki Kisame one after another, probably with the idea of ​​using the weak to fight the strong, but they acted so quickly and exposed so many cards that it was hard to guess what those two people were thinking.

Although the Tailed Beast Cannon is terrifying, the formation created by Mizuki is not so easy to break.

In the mist, the barrier with polarizing ability interfered with Kabuto Yakushi's perception, and the attack direction was not very accurate. Coupled with the obstruction of the barrier, the power was weakened a lot.

However, the huge explosion still allowed Uchiha Itachi and Hoshigaki Kisame to escape from the encirclement.

"Do you want us to help?"

Yan Liu and Yu Gao, who were on high alert, asked.

Shuimu shook his head:

"Not for now. You have other enemies to deal with."

As for Kabuto Yakushi, he will be temporarily handed over to Kakashi Hatake.

However, it is a bit difficult to use the barrier to stop Uchiha Itachi, who possesses the Sharingan, and Hoshigaki Kisame, who can destroy and absorb chakra.

Even with the cooperation of the Konoha Ninja Team and the Mist Ninja Team, it would still be difficult.

At this moment, when the Four Directions Sealing Formation was being used to capture the direction of the Three Tails, a sudden wave was heard.

"Three tails were alarmed, how is that possible? He has been calmed down."

Mizuki replied helplessly.

"You Mist Ninjas should know better. Samehada is here, it would be strange if the Three-Tails didn't react!"

As the younger brother of the three-tailed Isozaki, Samehada is responsible for absorbing chakra and passing it to the three-tailed as bait. Even if it is used as one of the Seven Ninja Swords, it cannot change its nature.

There are so many troubles at the beginning, Shuimu is a little worried!
