Chapter 155: You Don't Understand the True Essence of Power
When Kisame was in the Hidden Mist Village, he had performed dirty missions involving the killing of his own comrades.
At that time, he felt incredibly lost and pained.
He didn't know if he was an enemy or a comrade, or even where his destination was.
He felt like he was nothing more than a "fake existence."
Later, under the invitation of Madara, who had secretly infiltrated the Hidden Mist Village, he became a member of the "Akatsuki."
He was no longer lost because he had found his "place of belonging."
In the "Akatsuki," he was paired with Itachi.
Itachi once said something that left a deep impression on him: "Kisame-san, we are the same; we are both people without a place to belong."
However, he had now fallen at the hands of Konohagakure.
After Aoba withdrew from Kisame's memories, he reported the information to the Hokage.
Upon learning of the Akatsuki's goals and plans, the Hokage immediately summoned all Konoha Ninja and began formulating a response.
"393"
Meanwhile, the Akatsuki member Konan returned to the Hidden Rain Village with the bodies of Nagato and Yahiko.
She had intended to bury their bodies in their hometown, but she hadn't expected Madara to appear at this time.
"Konan, hand over the bodies of Nagato and Yahiko to me." Madara looked at Konan and said with a cold expression, "I need Nagato's Rinnegan."
"In your dreams!" Konan looked at Madara, her eyes full of anger and hostility. "I will not let you have Nagato's Rinnegan!"
She knew well that Madara had been coveting Nagato's Rinnegan.
Because the Rinnegan was an extremely powerful pupil technique, allowing the user to master the power of the cycle of life and death.
Madara wanted the Rinnegan in order to obtain even greater power.
However, Konan would not let Madara have his way.
To protect Nagato and Yahiko's bodies, as well as their convictions, she had already made thorough preparations.
"Madara, don't go too far!" Konan looked at Madara and shouted, "Do you think I'll just hand over Nagato's Rinnegan to you so easily?"
"Do you think you can stop me?" Madara looked at Konan and sneered. "You're just a woman; you're simply no match for me!"
"So what?" Konan looked at Madara, her expression resolute. "Even if I die, I won't let you get Nagato's Rinnegan!"
After saying that, Konan activated a powerful Ninjutsu and attacked Madara!
Madara watched Konan's attack coming but did not dodge.
He gave a cold laugh, then extended his palm and blocked Konan's attack directly!
"What?!"
Konan was pale with shock; she hadn't expected Madara's power to be so immense!
She tried to pull back her power, only to find that her Chakra was being absorbed by Madara!
"How is this possible!" Konan looked at Madara, her eyes filled with fear. "How can you absorb my Chakra!"
"What's so difficult about it?" Madara looked at Konan and sneered. "Did you think your power was truly strong? You're just a woman; you don't understand the true essence of power at all!"
After saying that, Madara launched a powerful counterattack, knocking Konan to the ground!
Konan spat out a mouthful of blood, knowing she was no match for Madara.
However, she did not give up.
She struggled to her feet and attacked Madara once more!
However, Madara dodged her attack again and took the opportunity to land a fatal blow!
Unable to dodge in time, Konan was struck in a vital spot!
She felt her life rapidly fading away, but she felt no regret.
She had done her best to protect the bodies of Nagato and Yahiko, and to protect their beliefs.
However, at that moment, a miracle occurred.
Madara's body was actually being pulled away by some mysterious force!
"What's going on?" Madara turned pale with shock; he tried to break free from this force but was unable to do so.
Konan took the opportunity to withdraw from her combat state; she looked at the scene before her, her heart filled with shock.
She had thought she had driven Madara into a corner, but she hadn't expected him to have such a trick up his sleeve!
However, when she looked up at the sky, she saw an even more shocking sight.
The rain in the Hidden Rain Village had stopped, and a beautiful rainbow appeared.
Looking at the rainbow, hope was rekindled in Konan's heart.
She believed that Naruto was the savior of this world.
Only he could carry on the ideals of their fallen comrades and fight to achieve the goal of world peace.
On the other side, news of Kisame being captured by Konohagakure also reached the ears of the other Akatsuki members.
They all knew Kisame was a very cautious person who wouldn't easily leak information.
However, this time Kisame had fallen before the enemy's Genjutsu, leaking all of the Akatsuki's plans and objectives.
This left the members of the Akatsuki feeling very shocked and uneasy.
They knew that Konohagakure would certainly take countermeasures to stop their plans.
Meanwhile, Yamato's group also became more cautious after learning that Kisame had leaked information... They were afraid their location would be tracked by the enemy, so they didn't dare to move lightly.
However, they also knew that Naruto and Killer B were the Akatsuki's targets and had to be moved to a safe place as soon as possible.
To solve this problem, Yamato's group came up with a plan.
They decided to hide the truth about the war from Naruto and instead fabricated a secret mission to deceive him.
"Naruto, Lady Tsunade has assigned you a secret mission." Yamato looked at Naruto and said with a serious expression, "This mission is a Super S-rank top-secret mission, very important."
"What mission?" Naruto looked at Yamato and asked curiously.
"The mission is to investigate the ecology of animals." Yamato looked at Naruto and said seriously, "We need you to go to various places, investigate the ecological conditions of different kinds of animals, and report the information to the Hokage."
"Investigate animal ecology?" Naruto looked at Yamato with some confusion. "What does that have to do with the war?"
"This is a very important mission." Yamato looked at Naruto, his expression firm. "Only by mastering the ecology of animals can we better formulate war strategies. Therefore, this mission is related to the outcome of the war; you must give it your all."
"I understand!" After hearing Yamato's words, Naruto's expression also became resolute. "I will definitely complete this mission!"
And so, without knowing the truth, Naruto accepted this "secret mission."
He and Killer B began their journey to investigate animal ecology.
They didn't know that they were actually "bait" being protected in secret, and were being watched in the shadows by the members of the Akatsuki.
Naruto and Killer B followed Yamato's group to a mysterious place.
It was a massive lake with water so clear you could see the bottom, surrounded by a dense forest.
In the center of the lake floated a giant turtle shell.
The turtle shell was hundreds of meters long, like a small island.
"This is the island-sized giant turtle raised by the Cloud Village." Yamato looked at the turtle shell before them and introduced it to Naruto and Killer B. "We will conduct our animal ecology investigation here."
Naruto and Killer B felt very curious after hearing Yamato's words.
They had never seen such a huge turtle, and they didn't know that this was also a secret base for the Cloud Village.
