[with card] Enemy of the World

21. Battlefield of nightmares

On the morning of the fourth day after departure from Konoha, the team of Obito and others arrived at the southeast port of the Land of Fire as planned, and joined Tsunade who was waiting there.

In the Second Ninja World War, Tsunade's lover Kato Dan died in battle, and his younger brother Nawaki was also seriously injured because he fell into a trap by mistake. Although he was lucky to save his life, he had to be accompanied by a wheelchair for the rest of his life.The tragedies that happened to those close to him one after another made Tsunade tired of the life of a ninja. Shortly after the end of the war, he left Konoha with his younger brother and Duan's niece, Shizune, and embarked on a journey to travel around the world.

Despite this, Tsunade has not completely cut off contact with the village, and has been maintaining infrequent but stable communication with Jiraiya.During the Third Ninja World War, she even briefly returned to Konoha, but left again after the Battle of Kannabi Bridge was over and the battle was settled.Therefore, for Obito and others, the last time they saw her was more than ten years ago.

The team met Tsunade at the agreed third pier.It is obviously over half a hundred years old, but the princess of the Thousand Hands Clan still looks very young, her beauty and prestige remain the same as before.She nodded to everyone, and finally looked at Shuo Mao, putting a hand on her old friend's shoulder. "I've heard about Kakashi from Jiraiya. You must have been working hard recently."

"Well...it's been a long time since my wife passed away." Shuo Mao smiled wryly.After a short pause, his eyes softened slightly, "However, fortunately, not all the bad things happened. Is the rope tree okay?"

"He and Shizune are on Bamboo Street. I have a few acquaintances over there, please take care of them temporarily." Tsunade replied.Patting Shuomo's shoulder again, she lowered her arm and looked at the others, "Before I leave, I have something to tell you. Jiraiya has the slug I left him with him all the year round. The last time you went there When I was in Hidden Rain Village, I told him to leave a splinter there to monitor the situation there. Three days ago, the slug sent back a message that Akatsuki had already dispatched, a five-member team led by Kite."

Hearing this news, the ninjas couldn't help but look dignified.Tsunade said again: "To subdue and seal Liuwei, and to resist Tobi and protect Kushina, to be honest, even with the help of Kirigakure's manpower, it may not be reassuring. So, as soon as I received the news I contacted Jiraiya and Minato, and asked them to send another reinforcement team. Although there is no time to wait for the reinforcements to arrive here, if they act fast enough, they should be able to join us within half a day."

Obito and Sakumo looked at each other, and saw exactly the same message in each other's eyes: Tobi will definitely bring Kakashi over this time.If they want to get back Kakashi's body, they must not miss this opportunity.

While talking, the boat sent by Wuyin Village has arrived.Everyone boarded the boat one by one; the destination was Tatsunoshima, one of the big islands in the west of the country of water, where Mizukage Godaime was waiting for them.This is the last chance to rest. From the moment you set foot on the land of the water country, the war with Tailed Beast or Akatsuki may break out at any time, so everyone stopped chatting and spread out on the deck to recharge their batteries. .

With a distance from the others, Obito leaned alone on the railing on the port side, watching the sea under his feet swaying and churning under the action of the wind and the ship, and the sunlight was broken into golden spots, jumping on the sea surface, reflecting the breathtaking Dazzling brilliance.Looking at the flowing water, he felt that his own thoughts were constantly fluctuating in his mind just like it.

No matter what the price is this time, he will take Kakashi back from the hands of the kite, which is beyond doubt.But besides that, there is one more thing that has been bothering him these past few days, making him uneasy: that is Yuan's true identity.

Looking back carefully at the several conflicts between the two, it is actually not difficult to see that Tobi's targeting of him is not only due to his identity as a student of Hokage, nor is it because they are both Uchiha clan and have the same Kaleidoscope Sharingan.What kite focuses on has nothing to do with origin and combat power, but the "person" Uchiha Obito—what he says, does, and thinks.

Time and time again, Tobi questioned and then denied Obito's will and beliefs, dismissing the things he valued as worthless.When facing Obito, his attitude is mixed with contempt and hatred, and mixed with hatred and pity, and there seems to be some deeper feelings in the pity, but now Obito can't fully distinguish it.

——Foreigners cannot awaken the Kaleidoscope Sharingan.Only people of the Uchiha clan will open their eyes when they are greatly stimulated...for example, witnessing the death of an important relative or close friend in front of their own eyes.

——Why should I tell you this, you should be very clear in your heart.Don't be fooled by appearances!

Obito suddenly remembered Fugaku's warning to him before departure.Uchiha's patriarch is suspicious of who and what he is implying, Obito's heart is like a mirror; but he himself has a different opinion.

If Kite did not conspire with Lu Jing to kill Lin and take his eyes, but——

A noise interrupted Obito's thoughts.He raised his head and looked in the direction pointed by the sailor not far away, and saw a small boat coming from the front right, riding the wind and breaking the waves, and approaching here quickly.The distance between the two ships gradually shortened, and when there were less than 200 meters left, three people suddenly jumped off the opposite ship and ran towards them directly on the sea.

"Master Mizukage!" Someone exclaimed in surprise.

At this time, Jiu Xinnai and others who were scattered all over the ship also gathered together.The three jumped onto the deck, and it was Terumi Mei and her two guards, Ao and Chojuro.Mizukage's skirt was already wet by the sea water, but she obviously couldn't care less about it, and said straight to the point when she boarded the boat: "Where is Princess Tsunade? I have something important to explain to everyone in Konoha."

"I'm here." Tsunade separated from the crowd and walked to the front, "What's the matter, Mizukage-dono? I remember that you are not such a hurried person."

"Thanks for thinking about it, I am terrified." Ming nodded to her.He looked at Obito and the others again, "Masters of Konoha, Wuyin Village is very grateful to you for coming all the way to help. But now I'm afraid I have to announce a bad news here: Liuwei has probably been captured by Akatsuki. "

Hearing this, everyone showed a look of surprise. "What happened?" Tsunade asked.

"While waiting for everyone to arrive, I have been sending out scouts to monitor Liuwei's whereabouts." Ming said, "However, an hour ago, Anbu, who was supposed to return to the stronghold as scheduled, did not show up. He was poisoned by Akatsuki."

"If Mizukage-sama has something that smells like the missing person, I can ask the ninja dog to find their location." Sakumo said, stretching his hand behind his back and drawing his sword.

"No, don't bother." Ming quickly waved his hand, "To be honest, after successfully assassinating Yu Gao, although the operation to seal Liuwei failed, we also left a special mark on it. Although not as good as Konoha The ninja dogs are highly mobile, but we also have our own set of tracking methods."

Sakumo knew that this was an untold secret in every ninja village, so he nodded and stopped talking.Ming said again: "And that's where the problem lies. After Liuwei escaped, in order to avoid our capture, he has been running around all over the place. At the farthest time, he could cross half of the country of water in one day; however, it was the same time as Anbu's disappearance. , Starting an hour ago, it no longer moves long distances like before, and almost stays in the same place all the time. So according to my inference, it is very likely that it has been subdued by Akatsuki."

"So what are we going to do now?" Obito asked.

"It depends on what you guys want." Ming said.She straightened her back, her expression became serious, and she exuded the majesty of being the leader of Ninja Village. "Konoha and Fourth Hokage have shown great sincerity and are willing to take risks to help. Of course, we in Wuyin Village can't be stingy. Kyuubi is also in Akatsuki's coveted list. If you plan to go back, I will personally escort you back. The port of the Land of Fire; if you decide to stay and fight Akatsuki, we will fully cooperate with your actions and immediately change the course to go to Guizhi Island where Liuwei is located."

Everyone looked at Kushina in unison.Nine-Tails Jinchuriki replied:

"Then I'll leave it to you, Mizukage-sama."

--------

A few hours later, Guizhi Island.

The originally luxuriant forest was razed to the ground by violence, and the six-tailed body lay paralyzed on the pitted ground, its huge body was tightly bound by several black chains, and the black rods connected at the ends were deeply nailed into the body, restraining all its power. ability to resist.It lay there limp, seemingly dying, with only the occasional shaking of its tentacles indicating that it hadn't completely lost consciousness.

At the edge of the clearing, five members of Akatsuki gathered there to rest after the fierce battle.

"See, Dana!" Deidara said enthusiastically, even though half of the sleeve was corroded by six tails' acid, it still couldn't dampen his enthusiasm. "In the face of the power of C3, even the tailed beast dare not face it head-on! This is my art, the beauty of the moment, eh!"

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Scorpion, who took off the scarlet hu and revealed his real body, didn't take it seriously, "If I hadn't trapped it with the three generations of Kazekage's Senju martial arts, your bulky clay wouldn't have hurt at all. chance of getting to it. That's proof enough—"

"Okay, okay, let's stop arguing." Before the argument between the two officially started, Guixiong came over.The shark muscle was carried on his shoulders, and the barbs were covered with dark red blood. "The decisive blow was indeed due to Mr. Tobi. Without the eyes of reincarnation, it is not an easy task to make the tailed beast that has been separated from Jinchuriki so docile."

He said, looking back up. "Right, Mr. Tobi?"

While the three were talking, Akatsuki's leader was standing on a high branch, looking into the distance.Kakashi squatted quietly at his feet, motionless, on the side of the tree trunk, Shirotsu just slowly retracted into the bark.

"Nine Tails has already landed and is rushing towards this place. It's probably less than fifty kilometers away from here." He said, without turning his head, and ignoring what Kisame said before. "Scorpion, you stay here; Payne and Xiaonan will arrive in half an hour, and when they take over Liuwei, you can rush over to join us."

"I have an objection." Scorpion said, "It's better to let Deidara stay, anyway, he has flying props, and he can catch up faster than me. And..." He narrowed his eyes slightly, and glanced in Kakashi's direction. He raised his chin, "Isn't this guy's father here? Last time, he let them run away before saying hello. This time, give me a chance to deal with Konoha Baiya."

"If that's your plan, then fine. Deidara, you wait here for Payne and Xiaonan, and Kisame and Scorpion will follow me."

"Danna wants to avenge his parents, I don't care, um." Didara shrugged, ignoring Xie's low voice of "Mind your own business!" Just three...four of you?"

"It doesn't matter." Kite said firmly.He looked back at his subordinates in the open space, a cold light flashed in his writing wheel eyes.

"No matter how many people they come, they are not my opponent."

--------

So the action was decided, Didara stayed in the open space to guard Liuwei, and the other four moved in the direction given by Bai Ze, preparing to meet the joint team of Konoha and Kirigakure.

The rebels jumped and shuttled among the branches in a diamond formation, with Tobi leading the way, Kakashi and Kisame left and right, and Scorpio behind.After running for a certain distance, Guixiong gradually caught up with him, walking hand in hand with him: "Mr. Yuan, you seem to have been very anxious since just now. Has my country left you with any bad memories?"

Kite's coherent steps paused very slightly because of his words, and his body passed through a branch that was horizontally in front of him—for the sake of safety, he no longer used divine power at will, and the previous obstacles were all covered with his hands. Pushed aside.

"Is there?" He quickly adjusted his state and asked flatly.

"Then only you know it in your heart." Guixie replied, "It's just a somewhat abrupt reminder... In the face of the war, you'd better calm down."

"You don't need to remind me of this." Kite muttered in a low voice.Hearing the sound of Guixier's footsteps and returning to his original position, he withdrew his gaze and looked back at the trees that kept receding to both sides.

Are you restless?

Of course.

Returning to this island was like reliving a nightmare for him—reminding him involuntarily of that night 20 years ago, when he was running as fast as he could now in the jungle, waiting at the end of the road. What exactly is his.

rain.Blood.Lightning.lost lives.Broken agreement.hell.

From the moment he set foot on Guizhi Island, old memories lingered in his mind like ghosts.It was as if he had once again connected with the other owner of the sharing eyes, making that scene solidify out of thin air, lingering in front of his eyes, forcing him to taste the bitter aftertaste of anger and despair again, which lasted forever.

The "two sharingan sharing heroes" died on the same day. "Savior" and "Trash" were born that day.

Kite turned her head and glanced at Kakashi on the left rear.What came out of his thoughts was another face: the imprint of the war was already imprinted on the childishness, and the scar on the left eye was vivid, wide open, full of shock and pain.A line of transparent water slipped from the corner of his eyes, and it was hard to tell whether it was rain or tears.

counterfeit.He whispered in his heart that he didn't know exactly who he was referring to.

The shark muscle let out an alert whirring sound.Kite retracted her mind and found that they had reached the edge of the forest without knowing it.After crossing a few trees, the front suddenly opened up, and a large open space suddenly appeared; recognizing the surrounding scenery, Kite couldn't help breathing, and her pupils contracted suddenly.

here is……

At this moment, there was a rustling sound from the opposite woods, and then a group of people rushed out from inside.Kite suddenly looked up, and happened to meet Obito who was following Ming closely.

The moment their eyes met, it seemed as if sparks were flying between the two.

"... Be careful!" Seeing Xiao Xiao and the others, Ming Ming was also taken aback, quickly reacted, and loudly warned.The rest of the people also came out of the jungle one after another at this time, recovering from their astonishment, and quickly formed their formation.Obito and Sakumo were at the front, Mei and Chojuro on both sides, Tsunade and Ao in the middle, Haiyi guarded Kushina and stood at the end; Anbu, the four teams led by Mei, rushed to the front, forming a semicircle Surrounded the four Akatsuki.

In just a few seconds, the open space was filled with killing intent, and the battle was imminent.

"Having got Liuwei is still not greedy enough, do you still want to continue to take Jiuwei?" Shuo Mao looked away from his son, looked at Yuan, and whispered.

"Since it's a trophy brought to your door, it wouldn't be a pity not to take it away with you." Kite replied slowly.Facing the enemy he encountered suddenly, he quickly cleaned up his emotional fluctuations, and turned back into the calm, powerful, and aloof leader of Akatsuki.

"With so many people here, even you may not have a chance of winning!" Ming shouted.

"Mizukage, this is a war between Akatsuki and Konoha. You don't need to go into this muddy water. Why bother meddling?"

"All of you from Konoha are our guests, and letting a distinguished guest have an accident in the water country is not the way of hospitality in Wuyin Village." Ming replied without hesitation, "Besides, you are the sinner who killed the ancestors. The ghost shark who happened to defect is also here, saving us the trouble of finding you again!"

"I don't know good and bad." Yuan sneered, "Since you want to die so much, then I'll let you guys do it."

As he spoke, he quickly formed a series of handprints and slammed his palm on the ground. "Psychic art!"

boom! !

The ability of the Eye of Reincarnation Hell Dao was activated, and a large cloud of white smoke several meters high exploded in the open space.Shuo Mao, who was standing at the front, smelled the danger first, and shouted: "Stay away!"

Boom--! !

Under the trampling of buffaloes and split dogs, the originally flat ground quickly became torn apart.The formation was instantly dispersed, and everyone subconsciously avoided the attack of the psychic beast, each jumped to a safe place and stood still.

When the white smoke cleared, the psychic beast legion composed of nine giant beasts had already surrounded them in turn.Akatsuki's people had also dispersed. Kisame stood on top of the chameleon, and Scorpion stood on top of the centipede, blocking the escape route from left to right; Tobi and Kakashi stood on the head of the rhino, facing the The ninjas of Konoha and Kirigakure.

"Now the numbers on both sides are much more equal." He looked down at the crowd on the ground, untied the chains around his waist, and clasped the two-piece iron ring on his wrists. "Let's go to war!"
