Chapter 138 Kisame: One Against Seven's Little Brother?
Strange attire.
Sasuke's heart skipped a beat.
Why are these two wearing straw hats in broad daylight?
It was as if they were afraid others would see their faces.
Sasuke glanced at it casually, without giving it much thought.
After all, due to the Chunin Exams, many ninjas from other villages came to our village. Each village has different clothing customs, so it's not surprising that some of them wear strange clothes.
These two might be test takers from some other country.
Sasuke looked away, not paying much attention, while Naruto, sitting opposite him, was still idly tapping the table.
However, as soon as he looked away, Sasuke suddenly came back to his senses.
Wait a minute, their clothes look kind of familiar?
A black background with what appears to be some red on it?
Sasuke's pupils contracted sharply, and almost instinctively he looked towards the corner of the store again.
The figure that had just been sitting there had vanished without a trace!
All that remained was the empty table and two cups of steaming tea.
As if the two men in straw hats had never existed, they vanished into thin air.
How is that possible?!
Sasuke looked around warily, trying to spot them.
When and how did those two people leave?
In the blink of an eye!
Naruto, sitting opposite him, noticed his companion's unusual behavior and asked curiously, "Sasuke, what's wrong with you?"
"You look terrible, and you're not even eating. Are you feeling unwell?"
Sasuke snapped out of his daze upon hearing this, shook his head, and said in a serious tone, "No—I think I just saw a few suspicious people."
As he spoke, he added in a low voice, "I think I saw members of the Akatsuki."
Naruto was stunned for a moment, then his eyes widened: "The Akatsuki?!"
Sasuke nodded hesitantly, then pointed to the corner he had just glanced at: "It's in that direction."
There were two people dressed in outfits that looked a lot like those of the Akatsuki. However, I'm not entirely sure; I only glanced at them casually, and the lighting in that direction wasn't very good, so I didn't see them clearly.
"If it really is someone from 'Akatsuki' who has infiltrated the village, that would be a huge problem! We can't just sit here; we have to go out and search for them right away!"
With that, Naruto grabbed Sasuke and rushed outside.
The two hurriedly got up and rushed out of the store.
The streets were bustling with pedestrians, creating a lively and lively scene.
Naruto and Sasuke stood at the doorway, cautiously looking around, their eyes scanning back and forth among the crowd.
But where was the suspicious figure in the black robe?
The situation is urgent. Every second of delay could mean the other party is far away from here!
Thinking of this, Sasuke made a quick decision and said to Naruto in a deep voice, "Naruto, this road has two directions..."
We split into two groups and search along the road!
Naruto nodded.
Both of them realized the seriousness of the situation and didn't bother to go back to the store to call Sakura and the others.
Naruto formed hand seals to activate Shadow Clone Jutsu, sending the clones to inform Sakura and the others.
We need to leave immediately.
Before parting, Sasuke solemnly reminded him, "Remember, don't act impulsively! The Akatsuki members are terrifyingly strong, all S-rank rogue ninja. They're not people we can handle. Once we confirm they're Akatsuki members, we'll retreat immediately."
Report the situation to the Third Hokage!
Naruto rolled his eyes and waved his hand, saying, "I know, I'm not that stupid!"
After saying that, he leaped onto the roof and sped off toward the street to the left.
Sasuke didn't dare to delay and ran off in the opposite direction.
Sasuke jogged along the street on the right, his eyes scanning the crowd back and forth, not missing any suspicious corners.
Despite the bustling crowds on the street, his heart sank lower and lower.
All that came into view were ordinary pedestrians; the two figures that had been spotted earlier seemed to have vanished into thin air and never reappeared.
Am I seeing things?
Sasuke frowned, and this thought popped into his mind.
But recalling the fleeting image of the black and red cloud-patterned hem of clothing, his intuition told him he hadn't misread it. "I can't miss any clues!" Sasuke clenched his fists tightly.
He had a premonition.
The identities of those two mysterious people are very important!
Holding onto this conviction, Sasuke disregarded his vague unease and quickened his pace, searching forward until he soon reached the end of the street.
The cobblestone path under our feet comes to an end here; we are almost at the edge of the village.
This area has long been deserted and sparsely populated.
Sasuke searched further, but still found nothing.
"Maybe they're in Naruto's direction?"
With that in mind, Sasuke prepared to return and check on Naruto's situation.
However, when Sasuke turned around, he suddenly realized that a burly figure had appeared behind him at some point!
The man was carrying a large sword that was longer than himself, the blade wrapped in white bandages, which made a soft creaking sound as it was borne by the weight on his shoulder.
Sunlight shone on his blue and white skin, casting an extremely eerie image on his face.
His small, triangular eyes gleamed with a bloodthirsty and cruel light. His cheekbones were high, and the sides of his cheeks were faintly visible with folds like gill clefts. His grin revealed a row of sharp, saw-like shark teeth!
Wearing a black trench coat with red clouds, it was the signature outfit of the Akatsuki organization.
He simply stood there quietly, and the chilling aura emanating from him was so overwhelming that Sasuke couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart.
A chill ran down Sasuke's spine.
His heart skipped a beat as he recognized the person as Kisame Hoshigaki, a member of Akatsuki who had appeared in his dream!
An S-rank rogue ninja from Kirigakure!
It really is them!
The Akatsuki have really arrived!
Sasuke felt a chill in his palms and involuntarily swallowed.
He knew he had made a mistake.
I was already distracted by Nisan's matter today, and then I impulsively chased after the black-robed figure who looked like "Akatsuki" after just spotting him!
These guys from Akatsuki are all S-rank rogue ninjas, and they're wanted by the authorities all year round.
With his and Naruto's tracking skills, how could they possibly not be discovered?
I've figured this out.
Sasuke realized that he had acted without thinking this time.
"Kid." Kisame suddenly grinned, revealing his shark-like teeth, and his rough, sinister voice said, "You've got some skills, managing to follow me all the way here?!"
"However—now that you've followed us all this way, we can't just let you go back so easily!"
The blunt threat made Sasuke's face darken.
He forced himself to calm down, feigning composure and remaining silent, while his mind raced with countermeasures.
He has absolutely no chance of winning on his own.
Sasuke forced a bewildered expression, feigning ignorance as he spoke, "Who—who are you? What are you saying? I don't understand a word!"
"I was just out cultivating and happened to pass by here."
As Sasuke spoke, he subtly glanced around, as if he genuinely believed he had encountered a robber.
Upon hearing this, Kisame Hoshigaki let out two eerie laughs, his mouthful of shark teeth gleaming menacingly:
Pressure Massenet~~"
He chuckled strangely, carrying his large sword as he slowly walked up to Sasuke. He slightly hunched over, looking down at Sasuke. "Kid, your reaction just now was a bit off! Why do I feel like you know me?"
This teasing remark, delivered with a strange accent, caused Sasuke's pupils to suddenly contract—he couldn't hide it any longer—he had no choice but to fight!
Sasuke gave a silent shout, and his Sharingan suddenly began to spin rapidly.
He took a deep breath, suddenly mobilized all his chakra, and decisively launched an attack!
"The Magical Technique of Gahang!"
Sasuke suddenly looked up, his eyes meeting Kisame's gaze.
The powerful eye force erupted from the Sharingan, invading Kisame's brain like invisible ripples.
Kisame Hoshigaki's vision suddenly froze, and his expression also hardened along with the Uchiha's eye power.
It's now!
Sasuke's pupils flashed, and without any desire for the spoils of battle, he turned and ran!
He had no chance of defeating the guy in front of him; he could only run.
Fortunately, he was still within the village area, so he didn't need to run too far. He just needed to run back to the downtown area to be safe.
Kisame broke free from Sasuke's genjutsu with just a slight movement.
After regaining his senses, Kisame was momentarily stunned.
"This illusion? Why does it feel...somewhat familiar?!"
Kisame Hoshigaki shook his head, then grinned menacingly, "Hmph, you're quick on your way!"
He let out a strange laugh, and in a flash, he closed in on Sasuke's fleeing back.
Kisame grinned maliciously, raising his massive, bandaged sword high in the air and slashing down at Sasuke's back: "Where do you think you're going?!"
The force of the blade tearing through the air slammed into Sasuke's back.
? !
Kisame felt as if the giant sword had missed its target, as if the blade had not struck anything.
at the same time.
"Splash—"
It was accompanied by the sound of wings flapping.
"Ah! Ah! Ah!"
Several piercing, eerie howls exploded in his ears, and countless crows scattered from under his blade, flapping their wings and flying in all directions!
The "Sasuke" who was slashed actually turned into a flock of crows and flew away!
"A crow clone?!"
Kisame was enjoying himself in the handsome spot, while Shark Prime Minister looked shocked.
If the illusion he just witnessed only felt somewhat familiar, then...
He was all too familiar with this crow clone technique.
Isn't this one of Daichi-san's specialties?
Kisame turned around to look.
Sure enough, in the opposite direction, a small figure was running frantically forward.
Kisame, however, was in a hurry to catch up with Ichigo.
He trusted his partner, Daqi Sang, who was very reliable.
He slowly stopped, and the surprise he had shown was gradually replaced by a wry smile. Kisame had also guessed Sasuke's identity at this moment.
Kisame licked his sharp teeth, chuckled softly, and muttered, "This brat must be Ichido-Shichi's younger brother! Interesting!"
Having said that, he simply slung his broadsword over his shoulder and walked slowly toward that direction.
Sasuke ran wildly for a hundred meters, but there were no footsteps chasing him from behind.
Sasuke felt no joy whatsoever; instead, he felt as if he had fallen into an ice cave. Sasuke knew that the crow clones could not possibly hold off someone like Kisame Hoshigaki for long, and there was only one reason why he did not pursue them.
His teammates!
"Could it be—that guy?!"
Sasuke gritted his teeth, and the eerie figure that had appeared in his dream instantly flashed into his mind.
The man hiding among the heavy puppets, with a long tail spike trailing behind him!
That strange puppeteer whose illusionary voices had no effect on even Nissan!
Sasuke felt a chill run down his spine, and his steps quickened involuntarily.
Sure enough, not far ahead, a dark figure suddenly flashed and blocked Sasuke's path!
Sasuke's heart trembled violently, and he hurriedly stopped in his tracks, staring warily at the person who had approached.
However, upon closer inspection, Ding Ling noticed that his brows furrowed suddenly.
The black-robed figure blocking the way was tall and slender. Judging from the outline alone, he was clearly completely different from the short, fat monster who had previously appeared under the giant puppet!
"Not a puppeteer?"
Just then, the dark figure blocking the road not far ahead slowly raised his head. He stretched out a hand, slightly lifted the edge of his hat, and glanced at Sasuke. Sasuke's pupils shrank, and he froze on the spot.
