Konoha's Hidden World

However, Xuanye's Wood Dragon Technique was only used as a feint, just like the Fireball Technique, and was not used as a means of causing damage at all.

However, the impact and hardness of the Wood Dragon Jutsu far exceeded Kisame's expectations. After Kisame used his muscles to cut the Wood Dragon Jutsu open, his hands full of explosive muscles were trembling slightly.

"Water Escape·Sky Wave"

Genha took advantage of the opportunity when Kisame's footing was not stable and Itachi was far away, and he directly formed a seal with both hands and put one hand on the water. In an instant, the originally calm water surface was rippled, and a fist-shaped water column came from under Kisame's feet. Rising up, he wanted to knock Kisame away like the Shoryuken. Although Kisame had tried his best to dodge left and right, under Genha's unreasonable chakra, countless water column Shoryuken still hit Kisame. , throwing it to where Weasel was in the distance.

When the soaring wave hit Kisame on the chin and knocked him unconscious, Xuanye quietly threw a kunai and flew towards Itachi. After doing all this, Xuanye took advantage of Itachi to catch it. For a moment when the kunai who had discovered the hidden information was still dazed, a teleportation technique flashed to Kisame who was still flying in the air. The wood escape wrapped his right hand and directly grabbed it on the trembling Samehada.

Kisame, who loves swords very much, calmed down when Samegai screamed, and stared at the person in front of him who was trying to seize the sword with a ferocious expression. As one of the seven former ninja swords, almost all his abilities depend on this sword. On a living sword, without Samehada, his combat performance would be reduced by more than [-]%.

"Go on honestly, the same shark muscle belongs to me."

Xuanye had long expected that Kisame would want to resist, and did not give Kisame any room to operate. The chakra of his left hand fist gathered and compressed instantly, and directly bombarded Kisame's right forearm, which was firmly grasping the Samehada grip. above.

A miserable cry of pain came out. Kisame's right forearm was punched by Genha into a weird and twisted shape. His right hand that grabbed the handle of Samehada was weakly let go, and his body was hit directly by the impact. water surface.

"go!"

Itachi didn't have time to check what kind of message was left on the kunai that Genha threw to him. He immediately teleported to where Kisame fell and caught Kisame who was about to faint from anger and pain. He waved out several smoke bombs. , disappeared into the diffuse smoke.

Outside Konoha Village, "Akatsuki" is in a small stronghold secretly established here.

"what happened?"

A "vegetative man" that looked like a pitcher plant, with half of its body white and the other half black, looked at the extremely miserable Kisame and the expressionless Itachi, and asked in a gloomy voice.

"The investigation failed, you encountered Konoha's Mudun Xuanye, and you seriously underestimated Xuanye's combat power."

Itachi still told Zetsu expressionlessly, watching this "vegetative" use part of his own body tissue to repair Kisame's damaged body. The solid tissue like mucus penetrated into Kisame's right arm, twisting the twisted little body. The arm was forced back into place, the original tattered muscle tissue was removed, and it was filled with its own solid mucus tissue.

"Understood, don't go to Konoha Village for the time being. I heard that the Nine-Tailed Jinchuuriki has been taken out of the village by Jiraiya. This is an opportunity..."

"But Kisame has lost his Samehada muscles and his strength has been greatly reduced. If we meet Jiraiya, we will not be our opponents."

"I'll figure out a way to deal with Kisame's weapons. You go and follow the Nine-Tails Jinchuuriki first."

"Vegetative" Zetsu blended into the land after saying these words, leaving Itachi and Kisame who had woken up and were silent to each other.

Itachi was the first to break the terrifyingly quiet atmosphere and said,

"You rest for a while, I'll go out and take a look."

Before Kisame could answer, Itachi disappeared like smoke.

After opening his Sharingan and looking around for a few minutes, Itachi took out the kunai left by Xuanye and saw the black "seal" on the kunai's handshake.

It is a simple storage seal, but the sealing method is not simple at all. The seal must be decoded strictly according to the chakra route planned by the sealer. Even a small mistake will cause the items in the seal to be instantly annihilated.

Itachi formed a seal with one hand, and with the cooperation of the Sharingan, he perfectly unlocked the seal. With a soft "release", a letter and a small bottle containing pills appeared on the floor where the kunai was placed. .

Opening the envelope, Itachi read it word by word, looking at the message left by a friend he hadn't seen for a long time.

"Itachi, we haven't seen each other for many years. I won't say any polite words. I'll make a long story short. Sasuke is safe in the village. Danzo doesn't have the guts to do anything openly in front of me now, but Sasuke's mentality is very problematic. This is your family matter. I won’t say much more. I hope you don’t mind. Over the years, I have used my identity and influence to do some research on your Uchiha clan. This bottle of medicine is the result of the research, which can greatly alleviate the overuse of the Sharingan. The visual deterioration caused by this, but I hope you understand that the Sharingan is a double-edged sword. This is only a temporary measure after all. Pay attention to your health and retain your useful body. You will be needed in the future. I will come to you when the time is right. Yours, I hope you won’t refuse..."

After reading the letter, Itachi showed a rare smile on his face, breathed out a small ball of fire to burn it to ashes, then carefully put away the medicine bottle, looked in the direction of Konoha Village and nodded slightly...

......

Xuanye looked at the smoke in front of him and shook his head. He had no intention of pursuing it. After a slight sense, he knew that Itachi and the others had left the Leaf Village. The ninja's escape methods were the best in the world.

He shook the Sameji in his hand, and under the powerful Mudun aura, the Sameji put away the barbs all over his body, trembling with no intention of resisting.

Although the Samehada is called a ninja sword, it is actually a kind of creature. Originally, the Samehada was attached to the body of the three-tailed Isoba to help digest food and provide chakra for the three-tails. Since the three-tails were sealed by the Kirigakure Village It became one of the seven ninja swords, and this is where Xuan Ye took a fancy to it.

It just so happens that Rin is the Jinchuuriki of the Three-Tails. Naturally, her affinity for Samehada is unmatched by anyone else. And as the "Akatsuki" organization becomes active, blindly hiding it is not a good way. After getting Samehada, After that, Lin's safety will be improved again.

He casually took out the bandage and re-wrapped the somewhat ferocious shell of the same shark, waved his hand to disperse the thick smoke, and took a few steps to leave the place where the fierce battle had just taken place.

Speaking of which, after all these years, Xuan Ye has never given her any decent gifts during the holidays. Every time, she always runs away after dinner. This time, she wants to give Lin a big gift.

"What the hell is this? It's so disgusting. Get it away!"
