"Heh heh… That's more like it…"
Mei Terumī brushed Naruto's hair aside, a flirtatious smile on her face.
"Um… Mei-nee-san, I have to go, see you next time…"
Naruto couldn't stand Mei Terumī's weirdness any longer and immediately fled.
"Such a coward, he ran off before I could give him my present…"
Watching Naruto's body turn into specks of dark green light, Mei Terumī complained softly, a hint of dissatisfaction in her expression.
"Haku, Shigyo, let's go…"
As soon as Naruto appeared in front of the two beauties, he grabbed their hands and started running. This place was too dangerous.
At the Nine-Eyed Cemetery in the Land of Rain.
"What's the plan now?"
Kisame Hoshigaki, one of the Akatsuki members connected by Pain's Phantom Body Technique, asked.
"Collect the Tailed Beasts…"
Pain said the four words plainly.
"Tch, how boring. The art created in that instant of explosion, how can it compare to the fun of collecting Tailed Beasts?"
Deidara's dissatisfied tone came through.
"Remember, this isn't a game, it's a mission!"
Pain's tone remained indifferent.
"Alright, alright, with my faith, collecting the Tailed Beasts will definitely be no problem."
Hidan's expression was filled with fanatical religious fervor.
"Alright, let's cut the chatter. Depart according to the groups I assigned earlier!"
Pain gave the order and then said no more.
"Whoosh!"
The members of the Akatsuki departed in pairs.
"Konan, let's go."
Pain ordered calmly.
"Yes."
Another figure nodded and turned to leave...
"Phew, we got away..."
Taking a deep breath of fresh air, Naruto's expression was full of relief.
"Naruto-nii, what happened?"
Haku frowned, asking Naruto, who looked relaxed, with a worried expression.
"Heh heh, Naruto-gege didn't get into any big trouble, he just got held up by someone."
Shigyo giggled, clearly knowing exactly what Naruto and Mei Terumī had been doing in the woods.
"Huh? Shigyo, what kind of ability is this? Prophecy?"
Naruto asked, puzzled, turning to Shigyo, whose soft hand he was holding.
Actually, he'd been puzzled by Shigyo's ability from the start. The power of premonition?
That was just too freaky.
"Heh heh, sort of. But my current ability has regressed quite a bit, you know."
Shigyo giggled. "The Great Prophecy Technique is really a dangerous ninjutsu..."
"Great Prophecy Technique?"
Naruto was taken aback. "Just from the name, you can tell it's a powerful ninjutsu."
"Hehe, but don't worry, my abilities will recover slowly."
Shigyo wasn't worried at all.
"Yeah, Shigyo, your ability must be very strong."
Naruto couldn't help but feel a little anticipation. Prophecy, what exactly could she see?
"Eh?"
As Shigyo walked, a flash of dazzling purple light passed through her purple eyes.
"Naruto-ge, there's a man riding a bird and another man with a hunched back wearing a black robe and a mask coming soon," Shigyo warned.
"What?"
Naruto frowned. "Riding a bird, hunched over, wearing a black robe?"
"Could it be that explosive maniac Deidara, riding his clay bird, and Sasori of the Red Sands?"
Naruto was shocked. "Haku, take Shigyo home quickly!"
Besides himself, with his Sage Fox Eye and lightning, Haku and Shigyo definitely couldn't avoid Deidara's C4 Karura, especially that madman's self-detonation.
"Naruto-ge, let me enter your body, I can help."
Shigyo explained, then her body transformed into a streak of purple light and entered Naruto's body.
"Haku, be good, listen to me and leave quickly!"
Naruto looked anxious.
"Naruto-nii, I can do it!"
Haku's expression was resolute; she didn't want to cause Naruto any more trouble.
A stream of cold air overflowed from her body. Haku held up a single finger and formed a hand seal: "Secret Technique: Cold Moon Frost Flower!"
The air temperature plummeted, and even tiny blue ice crystals formed, enough to show how frigid the cold air emanating from Haku's body was.
"Haku, you..."
Naruto was startled. For Haku to awaken the third stage of a Kekkei Genkai in such a short time, he was truly an unparalleled genius.
"Art is an explosion! Hmph!"
A clay bird flew in from the sky, followed by a small creature made of clay that dropped down from above.
"Shatter!"
Haku gazed at the clay that fell, his hands forming a gesture as if grasping something.
"Crack…"
The clay immediately crystallized, then shattered.
"What? It didn't explode?"
Deidara was taken aback. Could it be that even his art sometimes failed to bloom?
"Deidara, it seems we can't rely on you."
Sasori of the Red Sands strolled over.
"Sasori, stop talking nonsense!"
Deidara's expression was furious, "C3 Number 18!"
"Zero Ice Point!"
"Whoosh!"
Following Deidara's release of C3, in the next moment, Haku raised his hand and unleashed a large expanse of eerie, blue cold air.
"Thousand Hands Manipulation!"
"Lightning Release: False Darkness!"
"Crack..."
Seeing that Haku was temporarily unharmed, Naruto immediately felt relieved. He waved his hand, throwing out a sheet of purple lightning to fight against Sasori of the Red Sands.
"Naruto-gege, use my power!"
Shigyo's voice rang in Naruto's heart.
"Okay!"
Naruto agreed with a sound. Purple chakra immediately burst from the surface of his body, and his eyes also turned into a brilliant, dazzling purple.
"This is…"
Naruto was surprised, looking at the illusory move in front of him. "Sasori of the Red Sands's next attack?"
"Heh heh, this is easy!"
"Whoosh!"
When Sasori of the Red Sands controlled a puppet whip to lash out, Naruto suddenly flashed and charged in front of Sasori of the Red Sands.
"Kusanagi Sword!"
"Slish!"
Under Sasori of the Red Sands's unbelievable gaze, a blade emitting a dark green light pierced through Sasori of the Red Sands's chest.
"Haha, it seems I have to do it myself."
Sasori of the Red Sands chuckled softly, removing the black robe that covered him.
Beneath the robe, was Sasori of the Red Sands's partially puppet-like body.
"Of course, a partner is also essential."
Sasori of the Red Sands's face, still resembling a child's, revealed a slight smile. Then, a massive puppet materialized out of thin air, none other than the deceased Third Kazekage.
