Chapter 98 Tsukuyomi
"Slap, slap, slap."
Kisame Hoshigaki carried the enormous Samehada on his back, a sly grin on his deep blue shark face.
"Wonderful, absolutely wonderful!"
Kisame's tiny green eyes darted over Naruto, revealing his undisguised admiration: "In pursuit of power, he didn't hesitate to use his former comrades as guinea pigs."
He looked at Orochimaru and said sarcastically, "Orochimaru, it seems you've found a master who's even crazier than you."
However, Orochimaru was not angered by Kisame's taunts: "It is my honor to serve Lord Naruto."
Kisame Hoshigaki, who had hoped to see him make a fool of himself, choked on his words.
Then, he looked at Naruto, grinning to reveal a mouthful of sharp teeth: "Hey, kid, although the mission is to capture the Nine-Tails, I have to say, you're just my type."
"Would you like to consider joining our Xiao?"
"After extracting the Nine-Tails, will I revive you using your method?"
Naruto said calmly, "Sorry, I don't like being someone else's dog."
Naruto's gaze swept over Kisame and Itachi, a slight smile playing on his lips, revealing a hint of interest: "However—I'm thinking that bringing you under my command might be a good option."
"My new world is in dire need of top-tier combat power like yours."
"Hehehe————"
Orochimaru, standing behind Naruto, let out a hoarse laugh.
He licked his lips, staring coldly at Uchiha Itachi: "Naruto-kun's appetite is quite large—but subduing these two monsters won't be easy."
"Especially this one—Itachi-kun."
Orochimaru's voice carried a hint of apprehension.
"Look at his eyes—it seems like he wants to tear us to pieces."
Just as Orochimaru said.
At this moment, Itachi Uchiha appeared expressionless.
But he had already quietly activated the Mangekyou Sharingan, his eyes becoming extremely cold.
Seeing Sasuke writhing in agony, his skin bleeding, Itachi felt the rage he had suppressed for years burning fiercely within him.
He used every means at his disposal, bearing all the sins to protect his younger brother, but now Naruto treats him as a plaything and a sacrifice to be manipulated at will.
"Capture the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki."
Itachi issued a command.
Before he finished speaking, his figure had already vanished from the spot as a blur.
"Fire Release: Red Phoenix Claw!"
Dozens of shuriken, wreathed in scorching flames, shot towards Naruto from all directions, trailing crimson tails like meteors.
The trajectory of each shuriken was precisely calculated, blocking all of Naruto's escape routes.
"Uchiha-style shurikenjutsu? I really miss it."
Naruto stood still, only raising his hand.
Several golden Vajra chains burst forth from his body, creating an impenetrable defensive net in the air.
Ding ding ding ding!!
Sparks flew everywhere.
All the flaming shuriken were precisely deflected, crashing to the ground and creating deep craters.
"Is that all? As the target of Sasuke's long-cherished revenge?"
Naruto swung his hand back, and the chain transformed into a long whip, lashing towards Itachi's location with a deafening roar as it tore through the air.
boom!
Soil flew everywhere.
Itachi's figure vanished again in the form of a crow, reappearing behind Naruto, his kunai aimed straight for Naruto's back.
The two exchanged dozens of blows in an instant.
The battles involving physical techniques, ninjutsu, and shurikenjutsu are so fast that they are dazzling.
"Oh dear, Itachi-san is getting serious now."
Seeing this, Kisame stopped watching the show.
"Since that brat belongs to Itachi-san, then I'll take care of these two troublesome traitors."
He swung Samehada violently, creating a powerful gust of wind, and slammed it towards Orochimaru and Kabuto on the other side.
boom!
Samehada slammed down with tremendous force, causing the air to roar.
"Hmph, they're courting death."
Orochimaru snorted coldly.
Although he was somewhat wary of Itachi, it didn't mean he was afraid of Kisame.
"Hidden Shadows, Many Snake Hands!"
Several enormous venomous snakes darted out from Orochimaru's sleeve and coiled around Samehada.
At the same time, Kabuto, wielding a chakra scalpel, cut in from the side.
"How naive! Samehada loves chakra the most."
Kisame let out a wild laugh.
The bandages on the shark's skin broke, revealing its barbed body.
He bit down on the venomous snake and began to absorb Orochimaru's chakra.
"What?"
Orochimaru frowned and stepped back.
"And you!"
Kisame swung his hand back, and Samehada swept across with unparalleled force.
Kabuto's strength is not bad, but he is still no match for this kind of power-type monster that can absorb chakra.
He was blasted away by Samehada, bleeding profusely.
Even with Orochimaru and Kabuto joining forces, they were temporarily at a disadvantage against Kisame.
Samehada's ability to devour is a perfect counter to the two of them who rely on ninjutsu and chakra control.
"Tsunade."
Naruto, who was negotiating with Itachi, suddenly spoke, and his voice clearly reached Tsunade's ears.
"Still watching the show?"
Sasuke's condition had stabilized, and his cells had undergone some kind of miraculous fusion with Naruto's.
At this moment, they were caught in a peculiar state.
Besides observing her injuries, Tsunade was still hesitating about whether to join the battle.
"Kabuto is my dear subordinate. If he were to die by accident, I would be very troubled."
Naruto kicked Itachi's clone away, then retreated, giving Tsunade a cold look.
"How about we do a simple math problem?"
"What if I die here—"
Naruto's lips curled into a cruel smile: "Then I'll just have one less family member of yours to revive."
"What!?"
Tsunade looked up abruptly, her heart skipping a beat.
"Is it Kato Dan? Or Nawaki?"
Naruto spoke casually, as if discussing what to eat that night.
This is a blatant threat.
"Damn brat!"
Tsunade let out a roar of extreme anger.
She hated Naruto's despicable coercion.
But she was even more afraid of losing the hope that she had finally gained!
Therefore, she had no other choice.
Tsunade stopped watching and stomped her foot, causing the ground to crack instantly.
Using the recoil, she soared into the sky, across the battlefield, and with a punch full of monstrous power, slammed into Kisame.
"What?"
Kisame felt the terrifying wind pressure coming from above and had no choice but to raise Samehada to defend himself.
boom!
Kisame Hoshigaki was slammed and slid backward for dozens of meters, his feet leaving two deep furrows in the ground.
"What incredible strength—"
Kisame shook his hand, looking at the furious woman in front of him, his fighting spirit intensified.
"So this is one of the legendary Sannin? Interesting—"
"We're saved!"
Kabuto was panting heavily, his gaze towards Naruto filled with awe.
With just one sentence, Tsunade was forced to obey and take action.
As expected of Lord Naruto.
Just as Naruto was distracted in directing Tsunade, Itachi Uchiha seized the opportunity.
Without saying a word, he instantly appeared five meters in front of Naruto.
His eye power erupted, directly meeting Naruto's gaze in mid-air.
"not good----"
Naruto's heart stirred.
The world seemed to have lost its color, turning into a despairing black and white.
Only a blood-red moon remained hanging high in the sky.
Tsukuyomi.
