Naruto: If I ask you to kill Sasuke, you will become a succubus?

Neji said, "There's something wrong with the Mizukage's chakra. He seems to be controlled by someone."

"That means," Gaara said, "either the Mizukage is very weak, or the masked man is very strong."

I said to Zabuza, "I will deal with this masked man."

Zabuza glanced at me and hesitated for a moment: "Haku and I will get rid of Karatachi Yagura as soon as possible."

Hearing our conversation, the masked man sneered, "What a big mouth."

Gaara's sand grabbed the masked man, but it went right through his body.

I was surprised: "Is this an illusion?"

Neji said: "No, he is the real body! This should be his ability!"

Blurred?

Ghostly?

The scroll said that Ah Fei's ability was to hide his body in another dimension... If you didn't understand his ability, fighting him would be very disadvantageous and dangerous.

...Is he really Ah Fei?

If I deploy Susanoo, I might be able to protect myself and other companions, but he will definitely materialize when attacking. If we want to defeat him, we can only seize that momentary opportunity. Otherwise, with his ability to materialize, our attacks will be ineffective.

For this reason...deliberately exposing a flaw to lure him into attacking is the best strategy, because counterattack is always the best defense!

I rushed towards the masked man with a kunai in my hand. The ability of hollowing will definitely consume a certain amount of chakra. If it can be dealt with without hollowing, no one would waste their chakra without scruples.

As expected, the masked man also held a kunai and started fighting me in close combat. He was good at physical skills and I was deliberately showing weakness, so soon, my kunai was knocked away by him.

When he stabbed at my neck with the kunai in his hand, I grabbed his wrist with my bare hands, trying desperately to stop him with my bare hands.

At that moment, I used the substitution technique to exchange positions with Gaara's already prepared root.

His palm had turned completely purple, and he would be able to touch the masked man's wrist in the next second.

Tsk, it went through.

The plan failed, so I quickly used the Mountain Flower Technique to pull the root back.

"I don't know what that is... but I feel it's bad to be touched..." The masked man distanced himself from us and landed not far away, watching Gaara's sand wrap up the root again. "And that sand... you are not the missing Jinchuriki of the Sand Village, Gaara, right? Zabuza has gathered a lot of good subordinates."

Gaara said coldly: "I am not his subordinate."

The masked man asked with interest: "Then why did you help Zabuza kill the Mizukage?"

Gaara raised his hand and the sand surged towards the masked man like a wave, "Because Chaolu said that she wanted a better world."

Countless sand needles shot towards the masked man like a storm!

But he just stood there, neither dodging nor avoiding, allowing all the sand needles to pass through his body.

Gaara looked at him calmly. I knew he wanted to confirm whether there was a limit to the time the masked man could become invisible, but Gaara's sand needles could not be endless after all.

When Gaara's attack stopped first, the masked man chuckled: "Is this all you have? I wasn't planning to look for you, but you came to me on your own."

Seeing that we had no way to deal with him, I said to Gaara, "Can you use the Sleeping Technique now?"

Gaara said, "You want to release Shukaku?"

"Well, this place is very remote. Even if Shukaku shows up, there won't be any casualties, but it will definitely attract attention! This guy controls the Mizukage. Although he is powerful, he is very secretive. If we expose this, he will become the enemy of the entire Kirigakure. I don't believe he can stay here! Although Zabuza and we can't kill the Mizukage, it's not a loss to be the hero who saved him."

If he gained great reputation from this, Zabuza would be able to bring Haku back to the Hidden Mist Village.

From killing the Mizukage to saving him, it is not impossible to take another path to become the next Mizukage.

"I see. What about taking the roots?"

"give it to me!"

Gaara handed the root to me, and I opened Susanoo and wrapped him around me.

Gaara was wrapped into a ball by his own sand, and my Susanoo also protected him inside my body.

At this moment, attacking the masked man is no longer the point. The point is to protect Gaara and Togen from being attacked by the masked man.

"Ningji, go help Mr. Zabuza and Haku."

Before, I only read in the scroll that the ability of virtualization is very tricky, but now that I have really fought with it, I have personally experienced the uncomfortable, frustrating and anxious feeling.

Gaara's and mine attacks were hardly effective, and Neji's expertise in physical skills and acupressure was even less effective.

I said to him, "Go tell Mr. Zabuza and Shiro our new plan. If possible, it would be best to find a way to remove the masked man's control over the Mizukage. Perhaps the Mizukage can become our helper."

Ningji nodded and obeyed my order without any nonsense: "Be careful."

When the masked man saw my Susanoo, he paused and said, "Who are you?"

Even though he was wearing a mask, I felt like he was looking at me and must have been going over in his mind all the Uchiha whose names he knew.

Finally he said: "You, could it be Uchiha Sasuke?"

I can understand his guess. After all, the Uchiha clan has long been wiped out, leaving only the brothers Uchiha Itachi and Uchiha Sasuke.

But I still said unhappily: "Why don't you guess that I am Uchiha Itachi?"

"Of course it's because I know Uchiha Itachi."

"Can't you tell the difference between men and women?"

The masked man touched his chin seriously and said, "At Uchiha Sasuke's age... his voice hasn't changed yet, so it's not impossible that he speaks like a girl."

Zabuza's voice came from the other side of the thick fog: "Asaro! What are you chatting about with the enemy!?"

"Asaro? Uchiha Asaro?" Before I could answer, the masked man spoke up, "Could it be that during the night of the genocide... there was actually someone like you left alive? It seems Itachi didn't clean up everything."

"I was not born in Konoha. My last name is not Uchiha."

He had no intention of attacking me, but instead kept chatting with me, which made me feel a little uneasy.

I'm stalling for time...what is he doing?

Isn’t he worried about Shukaku appearing or being discovered by the Hidden Mist Village?

"Little girl, let me give you a piece of advice - the tailed beasts may be powerful monsters to ordinary people, but in my eyes, even the Nine-Tails is just an obedient pet." His eyes looked through the holes in the mask and cast a cold gaze at me, "Otherwise, how could I control the Mizukage, who is the Three-Tails Jinchuriki, for so many years?"

From Gaara's sand ball, an angry roar belonging to Shukaku began to be heard.

The masked man said darkly, "The traitor Zabuza colluded with the Jinchuriki of the Sand Village and attempted to attack the Mist Village. As the Mizukage, Karatachi Yagura discovered it in time and not only killed the traitor in one fell swoop, but also recovered one of the ninja swords and captured the One-Tails... I think my rule will probably be more stable in the future."

"I will never let you kill my companions!"

"Really?" The masked man said, "Since you want to make a big fuss, I might as well cooperate with you to make a bigger fuss. Recently, several elders of the Hidden Mist Village seem to be dissatisfied with me. It's a good opportunity to take advantage of this chaos to get rid of them all."

As soon as he finished speaking, a terrifying roar from Zabuza's side, like the roar of some huge beast, came.

"Come, let's see... Sanwei Isobu."

He spoke in a cheerful tone as his body gradually sank and disappeared from the ground.

Perhaps, as he just said, he wanted to take this opportunity to kill a few elders who did not please him.

And if the ninjas from the Hidden Mist Village arrive and see the Mizukage transformed into the Three-Tails and fighting, they will definitely assist their own Kage to encircle and suppress us no matter what!

Zabuza and Haku's figures soon appeared through the thick fog, and he said with a grim look on his face: "Looks like we have to retreat, Asaro."

"Don't be so pessimistic." I looked behind them, where a giant turtle-like monster slowly emerged. "--What if I can control it?"

Gaara has transformed into Shukaku's complete form. Shukaku opened his eyes and looked around, surprised and dissatisfied, "Why is there so much moisture?! I hate humid places!"

"Three-Tailed is over there," I jumped on Shukaku's head and pulled its ear to talk to it: "How is your relationship?"

"Hmm? You—are that brat from Konoha Village?"

"Shhhhhhhhhhhh!!!"

I had previously disguised myself as a ninja from the Hidden Sand Village, and now I was disguising myself as a ninja from the Hidden Mist Village. However, when Shukaku yelled so loudly, my true identity as a Konoha ninja was immediately exposed.

But I don't know why, I feel that after Shukaku appeared this time, he was not as irritable and aggressive as the last time he appeared in Konoha, especially since he could even have a normal conversation with me.

"Isobu..." Fortunately, the three-tailed beast had come closer, and Shukaku noticed it. "You, after all these years, you still don't look dry at all. It's really uncomfortable!"

Sanbi: "...Shukaku?"

It almost couldn't wait to say: "Help me kill someone!"

Shukaku: "Ah? Are you the current Jinchūriki?"

"No, it's not Yagura. It's someone else...who has been controlling Yagura and me with illusions! That guy...has the same eyes as Indra...!"

Although I didn't know who Indra was, I could tell from his hostility towards the masked man. I was delighted and said, "Is it that masked man? No problem! Let's work together!"

However, I think with his abilities, he would be able to escape unscathed even if the two tailed beasts joined forces.

But now I just want to force him to retreat.

"Ningji!" I called out, and Neji quickly followed my voice and jumped on top of Shukaku's head, "Can you find where the masked man is?"

Shukaku said unhappily: "Don't just stand on my head casually! You little brats!"

Sanwei Iso caressed him, "Your temper has improved a lot... Shukaku... You didn't even do anything, you just complained."

"Humph! We haven't seen each other for so long, what do you know..."

From the side I saw veins popping out at Neji's temple and knew he was using his Byakugan to spy.

I don't know what he saw, but Neji suddenly grabbed my hand and said anxiously, "Asaro! Let's go!!"

But before Ningji could finish his words, his whole body suddenly twisted and disappeared into thin air in the blink of an eye.

I:"!?"

I saw the masked man jumped out of Shukaku's body lightly, stood on top of Shukaku, and appeared just behind where Neji was just now - I thought Susanoo could block all his physical attacks, but I didn't expect that he could directly penetrate into Susanoo!

As soon as he saw him, Isofashi, who had been able to have a rational conversation with Shukaku just now, became furious like a madman.

"Uchiha Madara--!! I'm going to kill you!!!"

Uchiha Madara?

Not Ah Fei?

I said angrily, "Where did you take Neji!?"

Shukaku was also furious: "I've already told you! You damned humans, one by one!! Don't just stand on my head!!!"

Shukaku shook his huge body, making it difficult to stabilize like an earthquake.

The masked man tried to do the same thing again and transformed himself into Shukaku's body to disappear. This move was really annoying but there was nothing he could do about it.

I lunged towards him, but could only watch in vain as the top of his head disappeared into Shukaku's skin.

"Uchiha Madara!! Give Neji back to me!!!"

The next second he appeared above Isobuki's head, looking at me from afar, and said mockingly: "There is no way you can kill the Mizukage like this."

I took off my coat, revealing the tight black underwear underneath. I had previously carried Bai Ya on my back, covering her with the coat Bai had lent me.

I don't know if White Fang will be of any help in the battle against the masked man, but at this moment, I must use all my means to get Neji back.

I pulled out White Fang, and sensing my chakra, the blade of White Fang emitted a bright white light.

"…White Fang?"

"You know White Fang?"

"If I remember correctly, this sword belongs to the Hatake family of Konoha... shouldn't it be broken? How did it end up in your hands?"

"Give me back Neji, and I'll tell you."

"……Ah."

When I heard his sneer, I knew the negotiations had broken down.

Raikiri shot towards him along White Fang's blade, the lightning emitting a dazzling blue-green light. I just hoped that Raikiri's speed would be so fast that he would have no time to react.

But the next moment, the masked man appeared in front of me: "White Fang, Raikiri, Susanoo...? What is your relationship with Konoha's copy ninja Hatake Kakashi? Are you his daughter?"

He is so fast!!

But since he came close to me, my left hand immediately sounded like thousands of birds chirping, and I was about to rush towards him.

The masked man reached out his hand to me at the same time.

In addition to becoming virtual, he can also suck people into another space——

Is he trying to suck me away, just like he just sucked Neji away? Or is he going to attack me?

If he was attacking me, then at this moment, he must be a physical entity!!

The opportunity to catch his physical body is so rare that I dare not give up.

Only by touching him... will you have a chance to defeat him!

Only by defeating him can we have a chance of rescuing Neji!

Just then, Shukaku's claws grabbed me back: "Idiot! Don't be so impatient!!!"

For some reason, the ANBU mask on my face suddenly fell off.

I looked up and saw the mask twist and disappear. Just like Neji, I realized that if I had insisted on doing what I wanted, I would have been sucked into another dimension by him.

...Shukaku was right. I did not remain calm after Neji was captured in front of me and his life or death was in danger.

Just now, I was hoping that the enemy would materialize and let me attack...

I glared at the masked man, but I felt even angrier at myself for being powerless: "Give Neji back to me!!!"

The masked man looked at me, and suddenly he lowered his head, and the Anbu mask that he had just sucked away appeared in his palm.

He looked at the mask, then at me, then at the mask again, then at me again.
