Naruto: Sukuna Jinchuriki, I am Uchiha.

Page 127

"I know that too..."

"But even the Tailed Beast Ball couldn't kill it, so what other technique could possibly defeat it!"

"Dust Release, Wood Release, Slash Release!"

“I know…you can find one of us who knows it…”

Kakuzu spoke with a gloomy expression.

"There is another way."

"Combined Ninjutsu!"

"what do you mean……"

Kakuzu looked at Sasori: "How much energy can your puppet hold?"

Scorpion frowned: "You want to use my puppet as a transit point to gather everyone's power for an attack?"

"No, it's overloaded, it will destroy my puppet."

A wicked laugh emanated from beneath Kakuzu's mask: "You think your puppet can compare to Demon Void?"

"Once we succeed, you will obtain a Nine-Tailed Celestial Puppet!"

"Composite ninjutsu involves too many issues, and we've never worked together before, so how could we have developed a tacit understanding?"

"That's why this puppet is needed as a relay to adjust for errors."

Kakudo spoke fluently and professionally: "I have extensive experience using composite ninjutsu. Tell me your abilities and chakra levels, and I can devise a suitable plan."

"We'll fight and retreat at the same time to buy myself time to think."

Seeing his confident tone and eyes, everyone couldn't help but believe him.

This person is older than Elder Yuan Shi, and compared to the aged and frail Elder Yuan Shi, this person is still vigorous despite his age.

Their combat prowess was also considerable, although it didn't match the rumors of their strength, but it's possible they were hiding their true abilities.

Yagura also received the message and, after a brief moment of thought, agreed to Kakuzu's plan.

They started using kite-flying tactics.

Scorpion retrieved the giant puppet back into the sealing scroll; it was too easy to target.

They summoned the Third Kazekage puppet, which flew in the sky, and the group stood on the puppet, fighting and retreating at the same time.

The Third Kazekage's iron wings were huge, but with so many people standing on them, they looked very out of place.

If the people of Sunagakure saw this scene, they would probably be so angry they'd vomit blood.

This is an insult to the strongest Kazekage!

Following the established rules, Mo Xuluo did not completely chase after them, but instead cleared out the ninjas along the way who were hiding like ostriches, thinking they would not be discovered.

On the Sunagakure and White Fang side.

The first step for the strong in starting a war is to clear the field.

The surrounding trees and other structures had been leveled, and the first to be eliminated on the empty battlefield were the Anbu members of Sunagakure.

Several members of the White Fang Squad were also injured, but there were no deaths or injuries.

The black aura of the demons spread across the battlefield, resembling a large, pitch-black dragon, exuding an eerie and evil aura.

Sakumo Hatake stared intently at the demon. He had spent several years collecting evil objects for Kagami Uchiha, so he naturally had information about the demon.

However, the distance was too great. The priestess of the Land of Demons and Konoha still maintained diplomatic relations, and since they said they would handle it themselves, he couldn't very well lead his men to besiege them.

The demons have arrived, but the priestess hasn't...

Has Miroku of the Land of Demons died?

Something's not right...

I remember, didn't the priestess from the Land of Demons come to visit the mirror last year?

Further away from where the two teams were fighting, there was another small squad.

I have been stealthy since the start of the competition and have not engaged in combat with anyone.

This is a team composed entirely of Konoha's families specializing in ocular techniques.

"Lord Xuanhuo, Lord Yunjian, should we make a move?"

Hyuga Hizashi asked the two people at the front of the group in a low voice.

Xuanhuo and Yunjian were Uchiha Kagami's personal guards, holding a position that was exceptional even within the Uchiha clan.

They obeyed only the mirror's commands, their obedience bordering on fanaticism.

Even if Uchiha Kagami ordered Xuanhuo to kill his father, Shenhuo, he wouldn't hesitate.

"No need. Lord Jing's order is not to let the demons be destroyed. It seems he can withstand it."

Beside Hizashi, Hyuga Hiashi's pupils contracted: "What? We're not here to help Lord Sakumo, but to protect Moryo?!"

Yun Jian turned his head indifferently, his scarlet Sharingan staring at Hyuga Hiashi without any emotion.

Do you have any objections to Lord Kagami's orders?

"Hyuga Hiashi, recognize your own place."

"If it weren't for Hinata, you wouldn't even have the right to leave the Hyuga clan's territory."

"Hijiri, keep an eye on your brother."

"This time, I'll let it go with cutting off my finger."

Chapter 148 Finals

The first martial arts demonstration.

"If we go any further, we might enter Nagato's perception range."

The revolver slowly slowed down, speaking to the people on its back.

"Are you referring to that powerful individual with the Rinnegan?" Neji frowned. They were still some distance from the center, but the chakra reaction several miles behind them was terrifying.

They are now caught between two extremely dangerous zones, in a dilemma.

"My opinion is to withdraw from the competition."

Neji said in a deep voice.

In the past two days, they have also encountered a few scattered teams. If they can't beat them, they just call out to their revolvers and run away.

With the gifts from Hiruzen Sarutobi, Neji felt that he had done a good job of accompanying his child in school.

Only a few of them have the option to withdraw from the competition at any time.

Hinata has little opinion of her own, while Karin completely listens to Sasuke.

All eyes were on Naruto and Sasuke.

Naruto scratched his head: "But... it feels like something's missing if it ends like this."

"I want to participate in the second round."

While eating his lunchbox, Revolver said, "Hmm...it's not entirely impossible, meow."

"I know Xiao Nan, she's that beautiful woman with blue hair."

"She even treated me to grilled fish, meow."

"Revolver-chan, you really are a big shot!" Karin looked at Revolver with shining eyes.

"How come you know people everywhere?!"

Revolver proudly puffed out his chest: "Of course! Otherwise, where do you think my reputation came from? I earned it by traveling all over the ninja world and eating my way through countless battles!"

Are you sure there won't be any danger?

Sasuke, with a stern face and arms crossed, said seriously, "Nagato's strength is beyond doubt. If he harbors ill intentions towards us, even the Flying Thunder God Talisman wouldn't be enough to get us out of here in time."

Since it's not an active skill, their runes still have a short activation time.

It's fine for ordinary strong individuals, but if someone approaches Nagato's level and tries to use it, it will be too late.

"Sigh~ Sasuke, you're usually so brave, why are you so timid now!"

Unsurprisingly, these were Naruto's words.

Sasuke snorted coldly: "Knowing you're no match, you still go? I'm not a hot-blooded idiot like you."

"Ha! What did you say?"

Naruto slammed into Sasuke with a thud, spitting all over his face: "Didn't Master teach us that cool line? That's the ninja way I want to follow!"

"Go ahead to dangers!"

Sasuke wiped the drool off his face and said unmoved, "Master also said that those who know when to yield are the heroes."

"Analyze each situation specifically, and overcome difficulties instead of creating them."

Sasuke rejected Naruto's talk-no-jutsu and refuted him based on facts.

"There might be less than ninety people left now. If we find a place to hide, we can still advance."

"Instead of foolishly seeking out the strongest known competitor."

Naruto's little face scrunched up.

"Hmm...you're right...but..."

"Don't you want to see the powerful being who created such a massive rift?"

The deep ravines created by Nagato Shinra Tensei are a new feature of the Death Forest.

"What's so special about that? Don't we see that all the time?"

"Not to mention Master, I think the Hokage is stronger than him too." Uchiha Sasuke crossed his arms, tilted his head slightly, and said proudly, "The real strong ones are those who are watching from outside the barrier."

"I will become that kind of strong person sooner or later!"

As they were talking, a few drops of rain fell on Sasuke's face.

"It's raining?"

Sasuke found it a bit strange. He had done his research before the competition, and Konoha should have been sunny for the next few days.

Looking up, I realized that a pair of pure white wings were blocking my view.

Sasuke immediately drew his sword and activated his Sharingan.

The group, with their excellent combat skills, were ready for battle, and Naruto had already formed a Rasengan in his hand.

He wasn't able to condense the Rasengan so quickly originally, but it was thanks to Hiruzen Sarutobi's gift.

"Wait a minute... cough cough..." Zuo Lun hurriedly swallowed his lunch bag, shouting somewhat indistinctly as he choked.

"Cough cough... Don't be afraid, Xiao Nan is not a bad person."

Sasuke did not lower his hand seals, remaining vigilant.

In the Sharingan's field of vision, the woman's chakra flow was very strange; it wasn't a normal Five Elements Ninjutsu.

"Revolver, you actually came in too? And who are these kids?"

Nagato has just completed the transformation of Kinkaku and Ginkaku, expanding Yuhu Zizai's perception range.

Then I discovered a familiar chakra.

From childhood to adulthood, Konan has been almost inseparable from Yahiko and Nagato.

She knew Revolver, and of course Nagato knew him too.

Revolver simply disliked this gloomy man who always had a deadpan expression.

"It's been a long time, Xiao Nan."

After a moment's pause, Zuo Lun patted his chest and said, "I am Lord Jing's disciple."

"Don't do anything stupid, we have a trump card, meow."

After stopping the group from making a move, Zuo Lun also gave Xiao Nan a proper warning.
