Chapter 430
Once the barrier was breached, Ryo immediately sensed it. In Sage Mode, his sense ability could cover the entire Konoha village.
âSomeoneâs coming, and his Chakra is unknown. I wonder who will it be?â Ryo muttered to himself.
âRyo, whatâs wrong? Is Something wrong?â Rin asked.
âNothing. Relax, Iâll go and check it out.â
âRyo, wait! Youâve created hundreds of clones. With your current energy and Chakra, can you handle the enemy?â
Ryo laughed. âItâs fine. Iâm just going to check it out and confirm their identity. Iâll defeat him if I can, but if I canât then, Iâll escape. Donât worry.â
Ryoâs silhouette disappeared.
â¦â¦â¦..
On the other side, Jiraiya and Rasa, who were carrying Gaara, reached the border of the village. Ichibiâs form had begun to take shape on Gaaraâs body.
Looking at Rasa, Jiraiya hesitated to enter Sage Mode.
Rasa lowered his head, thinking of the situation. He didnât notice Jiraiyaâs gaze aimed towards him.
He thought, âWeâre alone. Once Ichibi fully transforms, Jiraiya will fight him. He would concentrate on defeating Ichibi, so a sneak attack would be enough to kill him. After Jiraiya died, Konoha will lose a big portion of their strength. Which means weakening Konoha, itâs very profitable for Sunagakure.â
After thinking about that, Rasa couldnât help it anymore. He started to wish Ichibi would go berserk soon so he could begin his plan.
â¦â¦â¦
On the training ground, Kakashi and the Anbu Ninja finally finished evacuating the audience. Seeing this, Kushina was relieved and stopped supporting the wall.
After Kitsuchi saw Kakashi and Kushina finished their job, his expression drastically changed.
He was already at his limit fighting with Hatake Sakumo. Now, Kyuubi Jinchuuriki and Hatake Kakashi will be added as his opponent? He will be dead soon!
Kitsuchi had retreated. He glanced around, looking for an opportunity to escape.
âKakashi, Iâll leave this to you. Just now, I saw Jiraiya-sensei and Yondaime Kazekage left the village together. Iâm going to check on them because I felt somehow uneasy.â
Kakashi shook his head. âKushina-sensei, let me do it instead. First, my speed is faster than you. Second, Gobiâs power is too strong. If he suddenly wakes up, I canât hold him for too long.â
Kushina pondered, thinking what Kakashi said was right. âWell then, Iâll leave it to you!â
âUn! Kushina-sensei, Iâll get going now!â
Suddenly, Kushina remembered Something. âWait! I almost forgot!â
Kakashi stopped and looked back at her.
âI saw a Kirigakure Ninja just left the training ground. Kyuubi told me before that the young Kirigakure Ninja was Rokubi Jinchuuriki and that a Jinchuuriki went berserk.â
âHeâs really Jinchuuriki? Sensei, donât panic. Clan Leader Fugaku and Guy are in the village. They wonât let anything bad happen!â
âWell, thatâs a relief.â
âThen, Iâll get going now. Sensei, please wait here.â After finishing his words, Raiton Chakra flashed on Kakashiâs body, and his silhouette disappeared.
â¦â¦â¦
At the same time, Lain and Kakuzuâs chase game was over. Kakuzuâs running speed couldnât escape Lainâs Sage Mode. Lain controlled Mokujin and quickly stopped him.
Kakuzu knew he couldnât escape, so he stopped running and waited for Hidanâs arrival instead.
Lain had no idea Kakuzu had called for reinforcement. Even if she knew, she wouldnât have to worry.
Lainâs Mokujin in Sage Mode was too strong. She alone could kill him in a matter of seconds.
Mokujin lifted its fist and hammered it down at Kakuzuâs location. His expression greatly changed. He quickly evaded to the right.
The ground where Mokujinâs fist just landed was smashed into a huge potholeâshaking the earth.
Seeing the hole, Kakuzu swallowed his saliva, âHow could a Mokujin no Jutsu be this strong?! Damn it! Konoha managed to hide a strong Mokuton Ninja!â
Lain laughed as she controlled Mokujin to continue attacking Kakuzu. Kakuzu rushed and attacked it with Ninjutsu.
Unfortunately, his Ninjutsu couldnât harm the Mokujin. Instead, it only drained his Chakra.
After a while, Kakuzu was exhausted. He squatted down, breathing heavily.
âThis is your limit? What a shame, today youâre going to die here!â After finished her words, Lain controlled Mokujin to raise its foot and stepped on Kakuzu.
Kakuzu wanted to run away, but his body had reached the limit. Kakuzu was trampled by Lainâs Mokujin.
Hidan, who just happened to witness the scene, quickly turned away and ran. He knew very well. Among them, Kakuzu is way stronger, so if he was killed by an enemy, what chance can he have?
Hidan desperately rushed out of the village, but he bumped into Ryoâs ice wall before he even got to the village border.
âHuh? Whatâs this? It wasnât here when I came!â Muttering to himself, Hidan got up from the ground and knocking the Ice Wall.
Ryo laughed midair and teleported to Lain.
â¦â¦â¦..
Seeing Ryo, Lain excitedly pointed at Kakuzu on the ground. âNii-san! Look at this! Itâs Kakuzu! I did it!â
âGood job! But your task is not over yet. Just now, I blocked his companionâs exit. Fight him.â
âKakuzuâs friend? Wow! Is this a buy one get one sale?â
âSomething like that. Go and get him.â Ryo said, taking Lain and teleported to the ice wall.
Hidan was startled by the sudden appearance of the two Ninjas. Especially after seeing Lain, his face showed a grave expression.
âYosh! Lain! Iâll leave this guy to you. He had an Immortal Body, so he canât be killed. Just separate his head from his body, and Iâll do the rest when this is all over.â
âYosh! Nii-san, leave it to me!â Lain performed hand seals with both hands, and dozens of flowery trees emerged from the ground.
âOh? Are you using this Jutsu? Nice idea.â Ryo left after finishing speaking.
As soon as Ryo left, Lain controlled the flowers on the tree. The yellow gas coming out of the flowers immediately enveloped Hidan.
Hidan knew the gas was dangerous, so he held his breath and tried to escape. Unfortunately, Lain wouldnât allow him to escape.
She sealed Wood-Dragon with her hands and surrounded him.
Seeing no way out, he waved his scythe to destroy the trees. But his movement only accelerated the pollen to reach him. After a while, he lost consciousness.
