126: Chapter 126 GundamInside a hollowed-out mountainside, the light was dim.
Only the withered shell of the Outer Path Statue emitted a faint glow, illuminating several blurry figures below.
The chakra bands of the Nine Seals of the Illusionary Dragon were gradually peeling away from Killer Bee's body, revealing the enormous, struggling red phantom of the Eight-Tails.
Killer Bee had long since passed out, his face shrouded in a deathly aura.
It felt terrible looking at Killer Bee in his current state.
This kid is its second-generation Jinchūriki.
The previous one.let's not even mention it, anyway, no one has ever argued like this.
Because of this, Kirabi suffered a lot of disdain from the villagers when he was young.
But this kid is a born optimist.
Others threw mud at him, but he used the mud to plant lotus flowers.
If someone throws an egg at him, he'll actually pick it up and lick it.
Back then on Turtle Island, it was just the two of them.
The little guy was going crazy from being alone, so he kept muttering to himself all day long, singing strange rhyming words in a raspy voice, making it so noisy that it wished it could add another layer of seal to itself.
It's been decades.
From being annoyed, to getting used to it, and then.damn it, I actually started to find this idiot more and more pleasing to the eye.
It doesn't have the ulterior motives of other humans; it sings when it's happy and curses when it's unhappy, living a simpler life than even this tailed beast.
The sealing process has reached its final stage.
The demon could feel his consciousness fading and his resistance to the pull of the demon statue growing weaker.
The enormous phantom floated upwards uncontrollably, gradually being pulled away from Killer Bee's body.
It took one last look at the huddled figure below, whose breath had almost vanished.
For decades, I've never had a moment's peace.
From now on.I'm afraid I'll really be lonely.
no.
We can't just let this go.
A brute force surged up along with intense emotions.
The giant, illusory body of the bull demon suddenly struggled!
Just before it was about to completely detach from Killer Bee's body, it let out a hysterical roar, and among the eight giant octopus tentacles, the last three lit up with a dazzling crimson!
"laugh!"
Like a sharp blade severing flesh and blood, or like a broken soul.
The three phantom tentacles, each containing a portion of its original chakra, were forcibly severed from its main body by itself!
At the break, scarlet spots of light splattered like blood.
The three severed tentacles did not follow the main body to the Gedo Statue.Instead, they transformed into three pure and gentle streams of chakra, swirling and re-injecting into Killer Bee's nearly necrotic body.
A very faint trace of life seemed to return to Killer Bee's ashen face.
The main phantom of the bull demon, after this self-destructive act, completely lost its resistance and was violently pulled out by the light band of the Nine Seals of the Illusionary Dragon, and with a whoosh, it disappeared into the gaping maw of the Outer Path Demon Statue.
Only deep within Killer Bee's mind remained a fading echo, carrying a deep sense of reluctance:
"Kid.you must survive."
"A rapper.that's really.so cool."
Kirabi's tightly closed eyes trembled slightly, and a single, murky tear slid down his cheek, mingling with the cold saltpeter beneath him.
The withered body of the Outer Path Statue seemed to have gained some weight.
On the field, the Akatsuki members who were maintaining the sealing technique all breathed a sigh of relief.
They completed the final mudra in unison.
The atmosphere had just begun to relax a little.
"Wow~ We successfully captured the Eight-Tails!Thank you for your hard work, seniors!"
Wearing a vortex mask, Afei jumped up excitedly, waving his arms and legs.
"It looks like there's a big fight going on outside!Should we hurry over and help Boss Payne."
He is still mobilizing.
"boom!"
A deafening roar suddenly erupted from outside the cave where they were!
The hard rock wall collapsed, shattered, caved inward, and disintegrated, as if it had been hit head-on by a battering ram!
Countless pebbles shot inward like a torrential rain!
Amidst the billowing smoke and dust, a huge, ferocious red figure smashed through the rock wall with the most ruthless force, sliding sideways as it stormed in!
It was a huge red half-skull!
The skull was covered with a black and intricate Tengu armor, which shimmered with a cold, metallic sheen.
In the skull's left hand, it holds a massive shield with an ancient design, radiating a hazy red light—the Yata no Kagami.
In the skull's right hand, it held a longsword burning with red chakra flames—the Totsuka Blade!
Red Susanoo!
Like a vengeful demon crawling out of hell, it stood majestically before the astonished members of the Akatsuki.
Within the crystal of the skull, Itachi Uchiha's figure remained in the posture of a single-leg thrust after a charge to deflect the force, his hair fluttering, his crimson Mangekyou Sharingan gleaming red.
His gaze immediately locked onto Killer Bee, who lay on the ground, his life hanging in the balance, and the Gedo Mazo next to him, whose chakra fluctuations had not yet completely subsided after the seal was completed.
"Am I late."
Itachi's heart sank.
After carefully sensing it, it seemed there was still a faint sign of life.
"Uchiha Itachi!You traitor!"
Hidan was the first to react, brandishing his Bloodstained Three-Moon Scythe and cursing loudly.
"How dare you interrupt the ritual of offering sacrifices to the evil god!I'll rip your guts out!"
Kisame Hoshigaki gripped his Samehada sword tightly, staring at the familiar red giant and the figure within the crystal whose aura seemed even more profound than when he left Akatsuki.His shark-like face was filled with struggle.
Unlike the others, he didn't show hostility; he simply observed them, muttering to himself, "Mr.Itachi.what exactly happened to you."
His pale body tensed, and his stance clearly wavered.
Countless pieces of paper fluttered around Konan's body, her cold gaze fixed on Itachi inside Susanoo.
She keenly sensed that Uchiha Itachi at this moment seemed to have lost some of his usual sickly appearance and gained a more restrained sharpness.
The profile of her face, faintly visible beneath her tousled bangs, was illuminated by the glow of red chakra.Below, there was something indescribable.
She subconsciously tilted her head slightly and glanced at the emaciated Nagato body, which relied on various pipes to sustain its life, in the shadows not far away.
A strange emotion quietly slipped through her mind.
Only Ah Fei reacted the most exaggeratedly.
"Whoa!It's Itachi-senpai!He.he.he broke in!"
He let out a series of strange cries, his body behaving very honestly, as he scrambled and crawled behind a huge rock that had just been knocked down, peeking out with only half of his masked head showing.
Itachi's gaze swept over everyone, taking in Kisame's hesitation, Hidan's mania, Kakuzu's greed, Konan's scrutiny, and Tobi's exaggerated evasiveness.
Quickly resolve this and take him away.
Susanoo swung his right hand in an arc!
The Totsuka Blade, wreathed in crimson flames that could incinerate everything, sliced through the air and slashed towards Killer Bee and the center of the Akatsuki members!
"Retreat quickly!"
The terrifying pressure of the sword and the burst of flames forced Kakuzu, Hidan, and the others to retreat and dodge.
Kisame also leaped back a distance, his brows furrowed.
A deep, scorched trench was cleaved in the ground, with red flames burning within it, temporarily separating the two sides.
Taking advantage of this moment, Susanoo's huge skeletal left hand, with the Yata Mirror slightly turned to protect its front, while its right hand quickly reached down, its huge finger bones carefully lifting the unconscious Killer Bee and holding him in its palm.
"You want to take the offerings away?Have you asked the evil god yet?"
Hidan cursed and swore, his scythe flying out as he unleashed a barrage of ineffective attacks on Susanoo.
Leave the bounty!
Kakuzu's Earth Grudge Mask unleashed a torrent of lightning and wind blasts aimed at Susanoo's upper body.
Konan's paper shuriken rained down like a storm, striking the Tengu's armor with a clanging sound and exploding into bursts of sparks, mainly intended as a test.
Kisame watched Itachi protect Killer Bee and finally sighed.His Samehada sword hung at his side, and he did not join the attack.
"Hey!Kisame!What are you spacing out for!Stop him!"
Hidan was furious when he saw this and shouted loudly.
Hiding behind the rock, Tobi also poked his head out, fanning the flames: "Yeah, yeah!Kisame-senpai!Itachi-san has betrayed the organization!Quickly use your Samehada to teach him a lesson!Let him know the rules of Akatsuki!"
Itachi, at the bottom of the crystal, controlled Susanoo, steadily blocking the Yata Mirror in front of him.
Kakuzu's composite ninjutsu, Konan's paper rain.most of the attacks landed on the hazy red light of the Yata Mirror and were completely absorbed, deflected, and neutralized!
"That shield.can it really defend against all attacks?Isn't that cheat code?"
Kakuzu's eyes were filled with horror.
He sensed the ulterior motives of his former Akatsuki teammates on the field.
Susanoo protected Killer Bee, took huge strides, no longer lingering in the fight, and charged back towards the huge hole that Killer Bee had crashed into!
"Don't even think about running!"
Only Hidan, unwilling to give up, threw his blood-stained three-month scythe.
This time, Itachi did not use the Yata Mirror to block.
Susanoo suddenly turned around, and the Totsuka Blade, carrying an incomparably sharp sword wind, slammed precisely into Hidan's scythe!
"clang!"
Hidan, along with his scythe, was sent flying by the powerful blow, rolling several times on the ground before coming to a stop.
"Cough cough.Damn Uchiha!"
Hidan spat out the mud and sand in his mouth, cursing angrily, but couldn't get up for a moment.
Itachi didn't look at anyone else.He took a step out of the hole with his Susanoo, and with Killer Bee in tow, his figure quickly disappeared into the dim light.
Inside the cave, everything was in a mess.
Only the Gedo Mazo stood silently, along with a group of Akatsuki members with varying expressions.
Hidan was still cursing loudly.
Kisame silently put away Samehada, staring at the direction of the hole, remaining silent.
Konan slowly returned to human form from her paper-like state.Her gaze inadvertently swept over Nagato's withered body again before looking out of the cave, her eyes deep and unfathomable, lost in thought.
