"Shikamaru and Konohamaru!"
In the midst of the fierce battle, Asuma's face darkened. Facing opponents Naruto, Shikamaru, and Temari, he was indeed feeling pressured.
However, when he heard Tobi's voice, Asuma's expression drastically changed, and he made a quick decision with a cold snort.
The elusive Tobi caused Kakashi and Itachi to be filled with apprehension. His eye technique was incredibly outrageous, especially since he could use his abilities without restraint.
"Hidan!"
At that moment, Asuma shouted loudly and threw a chakra-enhanced weapon, the Flying Swallow, filled with sharp Wind Release chakra, swiftly towards Hidan.
Meanwhile, facing Naruto and Sakura, one was attacking relentlessly with a cost-free Rasengan, and the other with immense strength. Although the strength wasn't perfect yet, combined with Shikamaru's occasional Shadow Possession Jutsu interruptions, it infuriated him.
"Wind Release: Vacuum Sphere"
Suddenly, Asuma spat out wind bullets like arrows, causing Sakura to scream in pain with several grazes on her arm and body.
Meanwhile, Naruto's Shadow Clones kept disappearing, giving Asuma a chance to increase the distance.
"Wind Release: Great Vacuum Sphere"
Taking advantage of the situation, Asuma, who had lost most of his conscience, continuously spit out bullet-like wind blades, targeting even Shikamaru who was harassing and ambushing from the sidelines.
"Sakura!"
Seeing Sakura injured, Naruto roared angrily, his body radiating immense chakra.
"Shadow Clone Technique"
Bang! Hundreds of Narutos were everywhere, each forming Rasengans and continuously attacking Asuma.
Meanwhile, Hidan, who was fighting against Kisame at a distance, caught the Flying Swallow thrown by Asuma. Blood flowed from his palm, but he didn't care and instead revealed a maniacal smile.
"Ha ha, sacrifice to the evil god, ha ha~"
Under Kisame's frowning gaze, Hidan licked the Flying Swallow greedily with his tongue, as if to clean off any traces of Asuma on it, all the while drawing a strange formation on the ground with his own blood.
Under his maniacal smile, Fū's body began to change, turning into a state of clear black and white.
"I will offer a sacrifice to the evil god!"
With a mad laugh and a bizarre pose, holding a blood-red scythe, he surprisingly pierced his own abdomen under Kisame's shocked gaze.
The sharp end of the blood-red scythe pierced through his abdomen, and blood flowed. At this moment, Hidan laughed maniacally and excitedly, as if he had a masochistic nature.
Seeing this, Kisame looked serious and quickly formed hand seals. Unsure if the opponent was going mad or using some perverted ninjutsu, he didn't want to give him a chance.
"Water Release: Water Severing Wave"
Kisame rapidly expelled a high-pressure water jet from his mouth, instantly piercing through Hidan's chest. However, facing such an injury, Hidan laughed even more insanely.
"Ha ha~”
After Kisame struck Hidan in one hit, he quickly retreated, widening the distance between them. Kisame, frowning, watched his opponent cautiously.
Hidan looked at the wound that had reappeared on his chest and couldn't help but show anger. "Damn it! Don't you know it hurts?"
"Could this guy really be immortal?"
Thinking of this, Kisame couldn't help but show a hint of fear. The idea of immortality was just too outrageous.
"Shikamaru!"
Just then, an angry roar echoed, and at that moment, Hidan laughed maniacally.
Shikamaru, who had fallen from a big tree in the distance, suddenly had two wounds appear on his abdomen and chest, with blood continuously seeping out.
Faced with this sudden change, Sakura and Naruto quickly retreated, and Naruto hurriedly helped Shikamaru up.
"Damn it! Shikamaru, what's happened to you?"
Naruto yelled in panic, and Shikamaru, sweating profusely, replied in disbelief, "Impossible! I dodged Asuma's Wind Release jutsu just now, it can't be!"
They were fighting Asuma and were not aware of Hidan's tactics. After all, they were fully focused on Asuma and didn't have the capacity to observe others' battles.
"Ha ha~ The smell of blood!"
Hidan laughs crazily in the distance, and Asuma seized the opportunity to help Hidan. His Flying Swallow technique collided with Kisame.
With a loud bang, Kisame's immense strength was apparent. He almost overpowered his opponent.
However, in the next moment, Asuma's move made Kisame's eyes narrow, and he shouted, "Everyone, avoid getting hurt!"
Fire Release: Ash Pile Burning
In an instant, a towering flame erupted from the smoke, and the target of the attack was none other than Hidan himself. At this moment, everyone turned their attention to someone shout.
"Cough, cough, damn Asuma, this smoke is too choking."
As the fire dissipated, Hidan, who had been caught in the Fire Release, appeared unharmed and waved his hand in disgust, as if trying to dispel the smoke he had inhaled.
"Shikamaru!"
However, with Naruto's roar, everyone showed a shocked and wary expression. They saw Shikamaru staring blankly, disbelievingly looking at his own body.
His body was severely burned, and he was unable to speak, his trachea having been scorched.
Wind Release: Rasenshuriken
At that moment, three Narutos suddenly jumped out from a nearby forest. With an angry roar, they condensed a massive amount of chakra in their hands, accompanied by a piercing roar.
Their target was Asuma.
"This jutsu! It must not hit!"
Feeling the terror of this jutsu, everyone was shocked and thought the same thing: they absolutely must not be hit.
"Unforgivable! Unforgivable!”
In the roar of Naruto, the Wind Release: Rasenshuriken in his hand, this S-rank ninjutsu, is hurled directly towards Asuma.
The sneak attack by Naruto was so sudden that at this moment, Asuma hardly had any room to dodge. His pupils contracted, showing the fear of facing death.
However, in the next moment, a blood-red scythe flew in, its trailing rope dragging Asuma over. Naruto, seeing this, revealed even more anger in his eyes as he hurled the massive Wind Release: Rasengan at the opponent.
As Hidan pulled Asuma to his side and saw the ninjutsu attack coming, he slapped Asuma away and then opened his arms, revealing a crazed and excited grin.
Boom! With a huge roar, the immense power of the ninjutsu made everyone show a look of dread.
Under the swirling hurricane, the ground around was shattered. Those with the Mangekyō Sharingan showed a look of apprehension.
Their Sharingan could see countless wind-release steel needles spinning wildly, a destruction aimed at the cellular level.
Boom! It was only after a while that the terrifying power of the ninjutsu gradually dissipated. Hidan, on the spot, was already lying motionless on the ground.
Meanwhile, Naruto, who had launched the ninjutsu and was blown away, landed, clutching his arm in pain.
"Naruto!"
However, at this moment, Sakura's shriek resounded through the sky, and Naruto's shadow clone was filled with disbelief.
"Idiot! Who told you to attack recklessly!"
At this moment, Kisame angrily scolded, urgently warning everyone, "Be careful of this person. He can take others' blood and perform a certain sacrificial ritual, making others share the same injuries as himself!"
"What!"
Instantly, everyone was shocked and turned their heads. They then realized why Kisame had said they couldn't get hurt.
"Shikamaru!"
As the shadow clone dispersed, Naruto, knowing everything, trembled in disbelief and approached Shikamaru.
"Shika... Shikamaru..."
Naruto couldn't believe his eyes, seeing Shikamaru lying limp, with only his eyes staring at him, as if blaming him for his impulsiveness.
Sakura, with tears in her eyes, had her hands glowing with green medical chakra, but it was of no use.
"Naruto! Shikamaru's cells are rapidly dying, now! Now!"
Tears slid down Sakura's cheeks. Although she didn't continue speaking, everyone understood the implication.
"Ha~ha, it hurts! It hurts!"
In the distance, Hidan, lying in a crater, painfully lifted his head. Although he was immortal, almost all of his cells were destroyed, and it was painful.
"Damn it!"
Boom!
However, just at this moment, a huge explosion erupted in the distance. A sea of fire descended from the sky, sweeping across with a roar, causing the ground itself to collapse.
Fire Release: Great Fire Annihilation
The sky was covered with a sea of fire, so hot it turned white, sweeping over everything and melting the ground, creating streams of red-hot magma.
“Deidara, you idiot, retreat!”
At that moment, a white bird flew across the sky, and Deidara, in a panic, yelled to his Akatsuki companion, “Uchiha Yoru is here, run!”
Upon hearing of Uchiha Yoru's arrival, Kakuzu was immediately, cleanly, and neatly flung by one of his own masked beasts towards the giant white bird in the sky. Meanwhile, another masked monster swiftly swooped into the pit, grabbing Hidan and violently throwing him away.
“Kakuzu, damn it, don't treat me like trash.”
However, Hidan, who was cursing in space, was caught by Kakuzu's extended arm. At this point, Kakuzu had no intention of arguing with Hidan, and sternly ordered, “Shut up!”
“Deidara, run. Leave them a few birds.”
Kakuzu, an old antique who had lived for nearly a hundred years, made a decisive and experienced decision, which Deidara greatly admired.
“You're right, Kakuzu.”
Thump thump, after leaving a few white birds behind, Deidara hurriedly began to flee.
Under the command of the old antique Kakuzu, there was indeed no dilly-dallying at all.
In the original story, Kakuzu's death was partly due to carelessness, and also due to the script. After all, with so many years of combat experience, it was unbelievable that he was killed.
But to have lived for nearly a hundred years and yet remain relatively unknown in the ninja world shows Kakuzu's low profile and caution.
“Quick, retreat!”
The rest of the Akatsuki also hurriedly began to flee, and in the distance, another booming sound erupted.
Numerous exploding tags descended from the sky, turning this piece of the world into a land of exploding tags.
One second there was intense fighting, the next, the entire Akatsuki was fleeing.
No other reason, the Fire Release that appeared was too astonishing.
A B-rank Fire Release Jutsu managed to completely obliterate a forest, something these S-rank rogue ninjas could understand.
But not only was the forest reduced to nothing, the ground cracked open to reveal flowing magma. Even from a distance, the wave of heat made everyone's nostrils burn. This Fire Release was too terrifying.
Uchiha Yoru's power was even more terrifying than it was three years ago!
These S-rank rogue ninjas were indeed extremely arrogant, but those who had reached this point, except for a few like Hidan, were all very cunning.
This was not an opponent of the same dimension. If they didn't run, just one more of these Fire Release Jutsus would probably leave nothing, not even bone ash.
…
"Shikamaru!"
Tears slid down his cheeks. At this moment, Naruto was filled with regret, and the Shikamaru in his arms had already lost his life. Under the pale eyes, it seemed as if the last trace of reluctance lingered.
Shikamaru probably never thought that, having fought with his high intelligence all his life, he would end up dying due to a comrade's impulsiveness.
Even in the end, Nara Shikamaru left no last words.
"Hmph, Kakashi, it seems your subordinate is strong, but not very smart."
At this sad scene, Kisame was annoyed, turned his head to look at Naruto, and coldly snorted: "Kid, you're lucky today. Your impulsiveness just killed one person."
Turning his head, Kisame left towards the distance without looking back, saying coldly: "I'll report this honestly when I return, and I don't want to work with this impulsive kid anymore."
Although powerful ninjas are popular, impulsive ninjas always invite trouble, especially in battle, where they can ruin various plans.
In the original story, Naruto was known as the number one ninja for unexpectedness, just due to the protagonist's halo. Otherwise, considering the cruelty of ninja missions, a normal person would have died many times over.
"Naruto!"
Sasuke came over, looking at Naruto, not knowing what to say. This time, Naruto was really too impulsive.
And Konohamaru, who was heavily injured in the distance, was even more annoyed, just like a worthless good-for-nothing.
Gaara calmly crossed his arms and chose to leave, while Temari showed a mocking expression at this scene.
"What a harmful little brat."
Temari's gaze was obviously towards Konohamaru in the distance, and looking at Naruto, she couldn't help but taunt: "Naruto, you should be glad you have strong power and a background. Otherwise, someone like you would probably be a Genin ninja for life."
"Even if you luckily became a Chunin ninja, probably no one would want to team up with you. After all, to be on a team with you, one must be very lucky."
Temari said indifferently, while Sakura, seeing this scene, couldn't help but speak up: "Stop it, Naruto is already suffering enough."
And Naruto stared blankly at the Shikamaru in his arms, as if he had lost his soul at that moment.
~~~
Oh well sh-
"Shikamaru and Konohamaru!"
In the midst of the fierce battle, Asuma's face darkened. Facing opponents Naruto, Shikamaru, and Temari, he was indeed feeling pressured.
However, when he heard Tobi's voice, Asuma's expression drastically changed, and he made a quick decision with a cold snort.
