I just returned to Konoha and found that all my clan members were gone.

At some point in the afternoon of the next day, a huge monster suddenly appeared on the calm sea surface.

It looks a bit like a turtle, except that its shell is covered with thorns and it has three huge tails.

Sanwei Isobu is finally resurrected.

The Konoha ninjas who had been prepared for a long time immediately launched the sealing technique. The technique was led by Kurenai Yuhi, and assisted by Hinata and Sakura, two female ninjas with good chakra control.

Once the sealing technique was deployed, it was like a huge formation that enveloped the Three-Tails.

The newly resurrected Three-Tailed Fox encountered this kind of scene as soon as it appeared. Even though it had a pretty good personality, it still felt a little irritable. Its huge body struggled back and forth, and it let out an unwilling roar.

"Isobu, calm down."

As a candidate for the Jinchūriki, Liuli was naturally also in the sealing technique. She mustered up the courage to walk in front of the Three-Tails and shouted the other's real name.

Hearing its name being called, Sanwei slowly calmed down. Looking at the girl under its feet, a familiar breath flooded into its mind.

矢仓

Isobushi still remembers clearly the first person who reached an agreement with him to become the perfect jinchūriki, but both guys were unlucky. After being targeted by Madara and Obito, their lives have never been peaceful since then.

The girl in front of him looked obviously similar to Yagura, and memories of his time with Yagura began to emerge.

Perhaps because he was used to his destined fate, Isobu seemed to accept the fact that he was sealed again, and his uneasy expression calmed down.

"Is that the solution?"

Naruto, who was outside the sealing barrier, said when he saw the Three-Tails was no longer angry.

"It seems that the situation is going well. All we have to do now is wait."

Kakashi did not let down his guard at all, knowing that the real test was coming.

Boom—

A blue airflow suddenly appeared on the outer defense line, and a dull explosion sounded directly.

"Hatake Jonin! Enemy attack! According to intelligence, they are from Akatsuki!"

A Kirigakure ninja quickly ran over from the outer defense line.

"Do you know who this is from Akatsuki?"

Kakashi did not rush to provide support directly. With Gai's team in charge of the outer defense line, he did not need to worry too much.

The Kirigakure ninja who came here looked a little terrified. "Akatsuki has dispatched a total of four ninjas. Two of them are Hoshigaki Kisame and Scorpion who shared the intelligence before. The identities of the other two are not clear yet."

"Four?"

When Naruto heard this, he immediately wanted to go and provide support. The last time they dealt with two members of Akatsuki, they had a hard time, not to mention the rare appearance of four people from the other side.

However, Kakashi grabbed Naruto, as the sudden attack from the other party made him feel something was wrong.

Deidara, who previously teamed up with Sasori, has not appeared yet, and according to Asuma, it is Sasuke who teams up with Kisame.

"I'd like to trouble you, the people of Kirigakure, to resist the opponent's attack with all your strength. The seal here is of utmost importance. We cannot leave yet."

"But, many of our Kirigakure people have already suffered casualties, and all we can do is delay the situation."

The ninjas from Kirigakure who came to report looked grim. This was simply throwing their lives away.

"This is your business, isn't it?"

Kakashi's attitude also became tougher, knowing that he must not be merciful at this time.

The Kirigakure ninja's face changed. He also knew that if Kakashi and the others gave up, they would be in big trouble.

Seeing the other party remain silent, Kakashi's expression relaxed and he spoke soothingly.

"As far as I know, the two ninjas who teamed up with Hoshigaki Kisame and Sasori are capable of flying. It seems that they haven't appeared yet. If we go to support them, we may fall into their trap."

The Kirigakure Ninja's expression looked better after hearing Kakashi's explanation.

"I understand, Hatake Jonin, we will fight to the death to hold the other side back."

Naruto asked after the other party returned to the defense line.

"Teacher Kakashi, who else is the ninja who has the ability to fly besides Deidara we met last time?"

Kakashi first instructed Kiba and Shino, who were guarding the seal personnel, to pay special attention to the situation in the air, and then casually answered Naruto's question.

"You won't forget that Ye Lan's summoned beast is a falcon, right?"

"Are you saying that Brother Ye Lan is back?"

Naruto said in surprise.

"If he really comes here in person, we will be in big trouble. He just defeated the Raikage a while ago and captured the Eight-Tails and the Two-Tails right under his nose."

It was the first time that Naruto knew this information. When he heard that Ye Lan directly defeated the Raikage, his heart trembled. He is no longer a student who just graduated from the Ninja School, so he knows how important the title of Raikage is.

"I hope my worries are unnecessary..."

Kakashi looked up at the sky, ignoring the sounds of fighting in the distance.

"Hirutora!"

A blue air cannon hit the opposing ninja. With the arrival of a large number of Akatsuki personnel, he opened the seventh gate right away.

It’s just that the opponent in front of him is really the type that he has trouble dealing with.

The ninja who was hit by the day tiger had his body twisted beyond recognition, but he didn't care about the visible injuries and stood up again with a playful smile on his face.

"It feels so good! Use more strength!"

Feiduan said with a satisfied look on his face. At the beginning, Kisame was eager to deal with Gai, but was stopped by Kakuzu and Sasori. His technique was most convenient for dealing with those miscellaneous soldiers of the Mist.

Fire escape, head hard work

Kakuzu and Hidan teamed up to deal with Gai. You should know that while Konoha was collecting intelligence on the Akatsuki organization, Ye Lan had already informed all members of the Akatsuki organization of all the intelligence on Konoha.

As long as Ye Lan understood it, he knew the characteristics of all the ninjas in Konoha, including Kai.

Kai moved at high speed to avoid the attack of Fire Style. Since he couldn't deal with Hidan, he decided to start with Kakuzu.

A high-speed flying kick was sent towards Kakuzu. Kakuzu clasped his hands together and his arms turned directly black, using the earth escape technique to harden his body.

Even with Kai opening all seven gates, he only forced Kakuzu to take a few steps back without causing any injuries at all.

After Kakuzu retreated, Hidan took his place, swinging his scythe and attacking Gai continuously.

Kai, who kept shouting about youth, was also annoyed by the other party. It was obvious that this guy was not good at physical skills and had no decent ninjutsu, but he relied on his immortal body and stuck to him like a taffy.

Wind escapes, suppresses

It was another extremely powerful wind escape, with a wide range and a speed that was not slow at all.

Kakuzu didn't care about Hidan who was in the middle of the fight and attacked with his own people.

A violent storm passed by, and the sharp blades in the air cut through everything around, and the place instantly became messy.

Kai was entangled and could only rely on his physical body to withstand it. Fortunately, his defense ability was greatly enhanced after the seventh gate was opened. However, if this continued, the time he could maintain the Eight Gates would become shorter and shorter.

From the corner of his eye, Kai saw that several of his students were suppressed by Scorpion and could not even raise their heads. It was very difficult for them to resist, and the people from Kirigakure were completely dealt with by Kisame alone.

There is no one who can support me now.

Several black Earth Devils appeared around Kakuzu, and each of their masks opened their mouths at the same time and faced Kai, and he spoke slowly.

"It looks like you've been abandoned."
