"Akatsuki!"
Kakashi Hatake's eyes abruptly tightened!
More than ten Akatsuki members, which means an attack by over ten S-ranked rogue ninjas!
At this moment, Kakashi Hatake realized why so many squads went missing, because they encountered the Akatsuki.
There are more than fifty ninja squads and nine Anbu squads around their camp, they might have a fighting chance against these rogue ninjas.
Kakashi Hatake even felt a bit fortunate.
If these Akatsuki guys kept harassing the Konoha ninja encampment, they might have had to make a difficult choice, but now since they dared to attack the camp directly, isn't this giving Konoha a free opportunity?
Uehara Naraku, who was in charge of commanding the operation, understood this mistake, but clearly, a surprise attack wouldn't make Konoha remember. A strong attack could instead rapidly crush the morale of the Konoha ninjas.
Moreover, they had taken Onoki's money!
Since they took the money, they had to perform a bit more energetically!
Tonight, they'd drive the Konoha ninjas out of the Land of Grass, and tomorrow's ninja world news headline would be about their Akatsuki being hired by The Hidden Rock Village to attack the Konoha encampment!
Uehara Naraku found a rock and sat down, crossed his legs: "I can't reveal any flaws, so I'll have to rely on you, seniors, for this battle."
Uehara looked like a foolish commander sitting like that.
"Tsk!"
Hidan carried his scythe, unhappily biting a piece of straw: "Hey, Uehara, can't we just kill them all?"
"If they want to die, of course, we can."
Uehara Naraku glanced at Hidan and continued with a light laugh: "If Konoha loses too much, what if in the future they dare not fight over the Land of Grass with the Hidden Rock Village, would Onoki still hire us?"
"You're really an evil little brat!"
Hidan spat out the straw, waving his scythe as he charged towards the Konoha encampment: "Then let's make a big mess!"
After all, he was already going to die anyway.
The others didn't slow down either, quickly following up!
Kakuzu stood outside the camp, with multiple Earth Grudge Fear entities beside him, wildly spewing ninjutsu at the Konoha encampment!
"Fire Release: Headache!"
"Wind Release: Suppression!"
"Lightning Release: Pseudo-Dark!"
A fierce wind swept the flames, instantly creating a breach in the Konoha ninja's defense line, with Hidan, Hoshigaki Kisame, Momochi Zabuza, Hozuki Mangetsu, and Kaguya Kimimaro rushing in through the gap, starting a massacre!
Uchiha Itachi and Uchiha Sasuke were releasing Great Fireball Jutsu from the side. It looked impressive, but somehow it always seemed like they were just messing around.
Haku's Ice Release Bloodline really could only mess around during this Fire Release dominant attack, helping throw some Ice Thousand Needles or so.
Uehara Naraku glanced at Nagato beside him, speaking softly: "Not joining the fun? It's rare to come out and fight!"
"I can do it here, Asura Path!"
Nagato stood by Uehara Naraku's side, slowly growing an arm out from his back, watching as the arm quickly transformed into a sophisticated mechanical cannon!
A bright laser shot into the Konoha encampment, triggering a massive explosion, blasting several silhouettes into the air!
Under the collective attack of the Akatsuki members, even with Kakashi Hatake and Nara Shikaku's rich battle experience and command capabilities, they couldn't live up to the decline. Today, they truly understood why some are defined as S-ranked rogue ninjas!
Yamanaka Inoichi stood by Nara Shikaku's side, relaying Shikaku's orders: "Water Release Squad, gather, hand seals, Water Array Wall defense!"
"Water Release: Water Array Wall!"
More than a dozen Water Release ninjas quickly joined hands in hand seals, releasing a tall water wall to block the oncoming flames.
However, there were those whose Water Release Ninjutsu was stronger than theirs!
"Leave it to us next!"
Hoshigaki Kisame, Momochi Zabuza, and Hozuki Mangetsu simultaneously joined hands in hand seals, spitting out a massive water wave: "Water Release: Water Dragon Bomb Jutsu!"
Three water dragons quickly smashed the Water Array Wall defense, sending a group of Konoha ninjas flying!
Nara Shikaku frowned momentarily, then quickly adjusted the tactics again: "Earth Release ninjas, release Earth Flow Wall to surround them. Other ninjas continue releasing Water Release and Lightning Release Ninjutsu!"
"Earth Release: Earth Flow Wall!"
"Lightning Release: Lightning Attraction!"
"Water Release: Water Rushing Wave!"
"Lighting Release: Earth Walk!"
"Water Release: Starch Syrup Capturing Field!"
With Yamanaka Inoichi freely passing information to everyone, the Konoha ninjas swiftly changed tactics according to orders.
On the battlefield, earth walls rapidly appeared, surrounding the Akatsuki members who had rushed in, while waves of water surged into the walls, lightning flickering amidst the water splashes!
This is the advantage of ninja troops, they can always rely on numbers to make some small ninjutsu unleash extraordinary power.
Kakashi Hatake was also closely watching the battlefield from the side, searching for a flaw to eliminate an Akatsuki member. He knew very well these people had to be taken down one by one!
"Opportunity... Lightning Release: Lightning Blade!"
Kakashi Hatake indeed found an opportunity. Hidan had charged too far ahead, already separated from the others, as a streak of lightning flickered in Kakashi's hands, piercing through Hidan's heart!
Just as Kakashi Hatake breathed a sigh of relief, he suddenly saw the enemy he pierced, revealing a cunning smile on his face!
"Ahahahahahahaha..."
Hidan crazily laughed, waving the scythe in his hand, ignoring the big hole in his chest, trying directly to decapitate Kakashi!
"Kamui!"
Kakashi Hatake's expression changed instantly, the Sharingan turning into a Mangekyo, trying to absorb Hidan's head into the dimension ahead of time!
Yet, a string of Clay Bombs falling from the sky interrupted Kakashi's dojutsu, seemingly trying to take both Kakashi and Hidan down together.
Kakashi Hatake didn't hesitate either, immediately deciding to retreat, leaving Hidan alone to be trampled by the Clay Bombs dropped by Deidara.
"Hey, you trying to take me down too!"
Even after the Clay Bomb explosion, Hidan slowly stood up again, cursing at Deidara, completely unaware Deidara had actually saved him.
After quickly retreating, a shuriken flew towards Kakashi, as Uchiha Sasuke charged at his teacher with a short blade!
This former teacher-student pair finally clashed!
Kakashi Hatake was astonished to find his disciple progressed rapidly, yet it still made him feel heavy: "Uchiha Sasuke, you really joined Itachi in the Akatsuki?"
"Shut up, I only joined them to kill that man!"
Uchiha Sasuke wielded his ninja blade, approaching Kakashi Hatake, coldly said: "The Akatsuki accepted a commission from The Hidden Rock Village to expel all Konoha ninjas from the Land of Grass. This is the last time, you better watch out!"
