"I personally have no ill will towards Lord Kazekage, but my allies are eager to collect enough tailed beasts, and I am also very satisfied with what the new leader of the Akatsuki organization has provided. We can say that we both get what we need!"

Kabuto Yakushi, dressed in a dark robe, was not dressed in the black robe with red clouds of the Akatsuki organization, nor did he act in groups of two, so he should not have joined the Akatsuki organization.

But blatantly attacking the Fifth Kazekage, Gaara, who is also the One-Tail Jinchuriki, would not do Kabuto Yakushi any good.

Apart from the five major ninja villages, the only organization that has the ability and motive to attack the Jinchūriki is the sinister "Akatsuki" organization.

However, previous intelligence showed that although Orochimaru was once a member of the Akatsuki organization, he had long since left this rebellious ninja organization.

Moreover, he fell out with some of its members and had conflicts with them many times.

Unexpectedly, after Orochimaru died, Kabuto Yakushi became involved with this organization and directly attacked the One-Tailed Jinchuriki, Gaara.

"It seems that both the Sand Village and I have been underestimated!"

Gaara made a somewhat dissatisfied sound from his deep and slightly magnetic young voice.

"Do you think you can deal with me by yourself?"

"Who knows? But at least you are wrong about one thing. I am not alone!"

As he spoke, Kabuto Yakushi controlled Deidara's Impure World Form and waved his hand to spread out a large number of two-winged birds made of explosive clay, which flew towards Gaara, Temari and Kankuro in an overwhelming manner.

"There's no point in talking too much unnecessary nonsense. My allies can't wait any longer."

The Akatsuki organization's desire for the tailed beasts is obvious. With every additional tailed beast's chakra, the power of the Gaiden Demon Statue increases by a large margin. As a result, the impact on the combat effectiveness of both sides is too great.

If the Akatsuki organization could gather enough tailed beast chakra, Nagato would not have been defeated so completely and died so early.

At this time, due to the severe shortage of manpower, there was no longer enough strength to capture the tailed beasts and the jinchūriki.

There are only so many strong people in the ninja world, and even fewer who can confidently defeat the jinchūriki and bring them back alive. The Akatsuki organization has accumulated so many people after many years.

Most of the ninjas who are powerful enough to rival the power of the tailed beasts are the backbone of a village. They will not betray easily, and will not be recruited by the "Akatsuki" organization easily.

Even a stray dog ​​like Kabuto Yakushi doesn't want to get too deeply involved with these mysterious guys in the Akatsuki organization. The two of them are just using each other.

The fact that Kabuto Yakushi was asked to help capture the tailed beasts in the form of a deal is enough to prove how weak the once-mighty Akatsuki organization has become, and that it even has to rely on forces outside the organization like Kabuto Yakushi to achieve its goals.

If Nagato was still alive, such a thing would never happen, but now Uchiha Obito has ascended to the position of leader. He is a paranoid who has no scruples about this world and will not be bound by the so-called rules of the "Akatsuki" organization. As long as he can capture the Jinchūriki, any means will do.

Kabuto Yakushi, who possesses the power, is trying it for the first time.

Exploding Clay - The two-winged bird is extremely fast and powerful, but it is not without weaknesses. A frontal attack that leaves no blind spots is not a good choice for the Sand Ninja.

Seeing the enemy attacking, the hot-tempered Temari simply opened her folding fan, circulated her chakra, and swung it upwards violently.

"Wind Style: Great Scythe Itachi!"

The powerful wind blade that combines offense and defense is an enhanced version of the ordinary Kamaitachi. The wind blade is infused with a large amount of chakra, and it slashes like a storm. Its attack range is incredibly wide, and its lethality is incomparable to that of the ordinary Wind Style Kamaitachi.

Not only that, this powerful wind jutsu lasts for a very long time. The storm formed by a large number of wind blades can not only bounce back the enemy's attack, but also form a large vacuum, making all ninjutsu such as fire jutsu and bombs ineffective.

In addition to causing physical attacks to the opponent, it can also bounce the sound back. Ordinary ninjutsu and illusion techniques that rely on sound waves to transmit damage have no effect on Temari.

The detonating clay biplane used by Deidara was also intercepted and exploded by the counterattack of Wind Style: Great Scythe Itachi, but in the environment of howling wind blades, even the sound of the explosion could hardly be heard, let alone causing any damage to the three Sand Ninjas.

The shock wave generated by the huge power of the explosion, carrying the power of Wind Style: Great Scythe Itachi, mercilessly went upstream and flew towards Kabuto Yakushi.

Unfortunately, the bow was at the end of its strength and could not penetrate the silk cloth of Lu.

By the time the shock wave reached the height of the flying bird made of detonating clay, it no longer had much killing power and could only make Kabuto Yakushi shake a few times as the giant clay bird flapped its wings under his feet.

"Tsk, what a troublesome fellow, why doesn't our village have the secret technique to fly?"

Temari complained unhappily.

Only when a ninja who cannot fly encounters an enemy who can fly can he experience the frustration of having the enemy completely control the initiative.

"Let alone our Sand Village, there are not many secret techniques in the entire ninja world that can allow ninjas to fly!"

"Then why are there so many flying ninjas appearing recently?"

Mizuki, the senior ninja of Konoha Village, has mastered the ability to fly, which is already known to all major ninja villages. Many ninjas also know about the Seven-Tails Jinchuriki Fu of Takigakure. Deidara, who has died in the Akatsuki organization, is also a well-known strong man.

The ninja who mastered the ability to fly and was hated by the Sand Ninjas the most was the Third Tsuchikage - Ōnoki. This old guy who had been active in the ninja world could not only fly himself, but he also mastered gravity and could make others fly as well.

Deidara, who used explosive clay to make a giant bird fly, was from the Iwagakure Village and was a student of Ōnoki.

"What bastards! Those Rock Ninjas are so bad that they don't even know how to clean up their own mess!"

Temari's complaints in a hurry immediately attracted the attention of Gaara and Kankuro.

"Why, what did I say wrong?"

"Um...Deidara seems to be dead!"

Kankuro explained somewhat awkwardly.

"Dead... Can't we kill them again after they die? Those damned Iwagakure ninjas are causing us trouble even after they die!"

Temari argued angrily.

"Let that old fool Ohnoki solve the problem. They are all from the Iwagakure Village anyway. The Five Kage Tournament is coming soon, and they have to form an alliance anyway. Why are they causing trouble for us at this time?"

"Okay, stop talking and deal with the situation at hand!"

Although there is only one enemy, the threat he brings cannot be ignored at all.
