Land of Fire.
Outside Konoha Village.
On a desolate plain.
In a withered forest due to lack of water source.
Hidan and Kakuzu slowly stood up from a rock.
After finishing the sealing of the Two-Tails, the two rested for a while.
Sealing a Tailed Beast was a task that consumed a considerable amount of energy and chakra.
It wasn't possible to act immediately after the sealing.
Hidan stretched his body.
"So tired! Sealing a Tailed Beast is always so troublesome."
Kakuzu agreed with this point of view.
However, what Kakuzu cared about now was the Tailed Beast issue.
Was he going to be outdone by a newcomer?!
A greenhorn kid, just because he had a little strength, dared to snatch his mission.
And Zero actually gave the mission that originally belonged to him to that kid.
Kakuzu had been angry about this matter.
Now, he was determined to capture the Nine-Tails immediately, so that Zero and Yuichi could take a good look.
Kakuzu's strength was also powerful!
It was just that against Yuichi, he was countered by Yuichi's speed.
That's right!
Kakuzu only thought that Yuichi countered him in terms of speed.
If it weren't for this reason, if Kakuzu unleashed his true power.
Activating the true power of the forbidden jutsu Earth Grudge Fear, Yuichi wouldn't be his opponent.
Being defeated by Yuichi in the last exchange was only because it wasn't a life-and-death battle, and he couldn't go all out.
This time, Kakuzu wanted to use the Nine-Tails to prove himself.
Hidan looked at the silent Kakuzu. "What's wrong?"
Kakuzu looked up. "Nothing, let's hurry up and find the Jinchuriki! Let's capture the Nine-Tails early and let those guys see my true strength."
This proposal suited Hidan's wishes.
He was already impatient and wanted to capture the Nine-Tails long ago.
Then find a chance to have a real life-and-death battle with Yuichi.
But before that, Hidan thought it was necessary to find a sharper weapon.
At the same time, his taijutsu also needed to be strengthened.
In the last battle, being unilaterally suppressed by Yuichi with taijutsu, Hidan also understood.
Even though he had an immortal body, if his taijutsu couldn't suppress the opponent.
It would be quite difficult to defeat the enemy.
After fighting with Yuichi, Hidan seemed to have some realization.
"Then let's hurry! Kakuzu, I'm going to capture that strongest Tailed Beast."
"I'll use the strongest Tailed Beast to prove that my power won't lose to that greenhorn kid!"
"Hmm!" Kakuzu nodded.
The two walked towards Konoha.
At the same time.
Not far away.
Under a certain tree, Team Asuma.
Shikamaru Nara, Choji Akimichi, Ino Yamanaka, and Kakashi Hatake were searching for Kakuzu and Hidan.
As for the team leader of Shikamaru, Choji, and Ino, Asuma Sarutobi.
While Yuichi and Kisame were capturing the Two-Tails.
He was killed by the idle Hidan and Kakuzu.
This time.
Shikamaru was seeking revenge on Hidan and Kakuzu.
His teacher died in front of him, and this revenge must be taken.
Under the tree, Ino closed her eyes.
Sensing the chakra fluctuations in the distance.
She suddenly opened her eyes. "Found them!"
"The opponents are moving towards Konoha from another direction. If we chase after them now, we should be able to encounter them in about ten minutes."
Shikamaru frowned. "Ten minutes!"
It seemed that the opponents were not too far from their location.
Good!
Shikamaru looked up at Kakashi and the others.
"I have a plan..."
At this time, Hidan and Kakuzu didn't know that their position had been exposed.
The enemy was preparing an ambush.
At the same time.
On the other side of this plain.
In the wind-blown dust.
Two figures gradually appeared.
Wearing straw hats, accompanied by the sound of jingling wind chimes.
Two people wearing black cloaks embroidered with blood-red clouds.
Yuichi and Kisame were moving towards Hidan and Kakuzu's position.
The reason they could find Kakuzu and Hidan was that Zetsu had determined their location.
The rings had a communication function.
Yuichi wanted to find Hidan and Kakuzu.
Zetsu was happy to help.
After all, the super newcomer in the organization had captured two Tailed Beasts.
A belligerent guy like Yuichi, for Zetsu, was also the best tool to complete the plan.
Kisame looked at Yuichi, who was focused on traveling.
"Hey, Yuichi!"
"Why are you looking for those two guys, Kakuzu and Hidan?"
Kisame initially thought Yuichi was going after the Nine-Tails, so the reason he followed was to stop Yuichi.
But Yuichi was going to find Hidan and Kakuzu!
Strange.
Yuichi paused and turned to look at Kisame. "Do I need a reason?"
Kisame didn't expect Yuichi to ask back like this. He shook his head. "Not necessarily, just curious..."
"Hehe! Don't you want to see those two guys being beaten to a pulp?"
Yuichi suddenly said this.
Hearing this, Kisame immediately reacted.
Those two idiots were going to crusade against the Nine-Tails. Facing the Konoha ninja, they would definitely be defeated, or even killed.
So, it was indeed reasonable for Yuichi to want to see the two being beaten to a pulp.
Yuichi also had some small conflicts with the two.
It was normal to have this kind of thought.
To see his companions possibly being killed, he traveled all night from a faraway place to the vicinity of Konoha Village in the Land of Fire.
Treating this kind of thing as fun was very in line with the personality of an Akatsuki member.
Kisame also revealed a smile.
"Now that you mention it, I also want to see those two arrogant guys being taught a lesson by the Konoha ninja!"
Yuichi smiled, turned his head, and stopped talking.
He didn't expect Kisame to believe this reason.
As expected, a reason that was completely groundless for a normal person was the most normal reason for an Akatsuki member.
'As expected, there isn't a single normal person in the Akatsuki!'
Yuichi thought to himself.
Just at this time.
A roaring sound came from the distance.
BOOM! BOOM!
Yuichi raised his eyebrows.
"It seems the good show has started! Too bad I missed the opening!"
Kisame also smiled immediately. "Ah! It's indeed a pity to miss the beginning of a rare good show."
Swish!
Yuichi's figure instantly disappeared.
Then a voice came.
"Let's go! Kisame! I don't want to miss too many exciting scenes!"
Kisame was stunned. "Does this guy care that much about those two idiots making fools of themselves?!"
Of course, Yuichi didn't care about the two making fools of themselves; he cared if they died.
At that time, the mission would fail.
In the distance.
Hidan was controlled by Shikamaru using the Shadow Imitation Technique.
Kakuzu's heart was instantly pierced by Kakashi using the Lightning Blade.
Kakashi looked at Kakuzu. "Your Earth Spear Technique should be Earth Style! Unfortunately, you met me with Lightning Style."
"Great! Taking out one guy first, the remaining monster with an immortal body will be easy to deal with." Shikamaru said.
Choji also revealed a smile.
This ambush was finally successful.
However, at this moment.
Ino Yamanaka, who was hiding in the dark.
Was originally happy too, but suddenly, Ino's face became incomparably pale.
Her eyes under her blonde hair widened rapidly.
Her body shook involuntarily.
"How could..."
"How could there be such a terrifying feeling!"
"Power... such terrible power! How can this be a power that humans can control!"
Ino looked into the distance.
In her chakra sensing.
It was as if a huge black cloud was approaching rapidly from the distance.
The sky seemed to have turned pitch black under the shroud of this black fog.
No light could be seen...
