Chapter 787: Sheren, You're Disgusting!
Chapter 787: Sheren, You're Disgusting!
Holding the little fox in his hand, he gazed up at it.
Tang Ping, who had just completed the 'Classic Reincarnation', suppressed the urge to 'pet the fox' in his heart.
It's fine if it's a beautiful girl, but not for Prince Naruto.
A large number of sealing talismans surged from his hand, directly restoring Naruto's sanity from his rampaging state.
Naruto had just been about to break the seal in the sealed space, but now he was interrupted.
'How could I let you succeed!'
Tang Ping thought to himself.
He was well aware of Naruto's situation, which was why he 'timely' sealed Naruto's rampaging state. If it weren't for the fact that Naruto was about to break through the nine tails, he would have chosen to let him continue wreaking havoc.
It seemed like he was helping Konoha, but in reality, only he knew whether it was truly helpful or not.
"Here you go!" Tang Ping removed the Tailed Beast Cloak from Naruto, restoring his normal appearance, and threw him towards the Konoha ninjas.
A sharp cry echoed as Sai, standing on the back of the giant ink eagle, successfully caught Naruto.
Regarding this future husband of the beautiful Ino, Tang Ping had no intention of taking advantage of the situation to eliminate him.
"Flame Demon, what's the meaning of this?"
Natsuyuki Haru, seeing Naruto being thrown back, frowned in confusion and asked.
What was the meaning of this? Returning after sealing a rampaging Jinchuriki?
They were not friends but enemies.
Previously, they had been on the opposing side of Konoha, and now they were taking the initiative to help, which was definitely not a good sign.
"Our Shell Organization is an organization of love and justice. Isn't it natural to take action when we see a situation like this?"
Tang Ping removed the Churong True Body and answered calmly.
If you hadn't attacked Konoha today, we might have believed you.
Naturally, no one would believe his words.
But they couldn't refute it either!
"This is so boring!"
Asura Path Pain (Nagato) turned and began to retreat.
With the Jinchuriki no longer in a rampaging state, there was no point in continuing the fight.
With Konoha's interference, they couldn't possibly capture 'Sheren', and sealing the Sealed Tome was not their mission. Their task was to destroy several places, including the Hokage Tower.
However, the Hokage Tower had already been destroyed in the previous battle, and other locations had been flattened by Deidara's aerial bombings.
Therefore, the Akatsuki's mission was already accomplished, and it wasn't surprising that Nagato chose to retreat.
The act of taking revenge on Konoha and completing the side mission of capturing 'Sheren' was also achieved. Continuing the fight would only expose them more, and he wasn't going to do something so foolish.
As for Bilu Huhu, who was currently surrounded by a group of Konoha ninjas?
Sorry, Pain didn't care.
After all, Bilu Huhu had almost publicly betrayed them, and from now on, he would have to rely on his own luck. Not helping Konoha was already considered not bad.
Whoosh!
As they were leaving, Nagato, controlling the Asura Path Pain, took a deep look at Tang Ping's face beneath the bone mask.
He sensed that Tang Ping had grown significantly stronger.
In the past, Tang Ping's strength was never as exaggerated as it was now, and aside from using that terrifyingly long spear (Shatter Star Spear), he might not have been as strong as Nagato.
But now, Nagato no longer had the confidence of victory.
Indeed, when assessing strength, Nagato considered himself as one of the Six Paths of Pain, and it wasn't just the strength of the Asura Path.
In terms of the speed of strength growth, Tang Ping was truly terrifying.
From a Genin before graduation to the current peak of the Ninja World, he hadn't spent much time.
"Leader, I still have so much art left to display!"
Deidara in the air still felt a sense of unfinished business.
But Pain had no intention of stopping and quickly jumped towards their original path.
The Konoha ninjas along the way had no intention of intercepting them.
Without orders from the Hokage or higher-ups, they naturally had to be more tactful when facing such 'Shadow Level' monsters.
Ninjas weren't fools! The fact that their higher-ups didn't take action or give orders meant they were implicitly allowing them to leave. If they foolishly initiated a fight, the consequences would undoubtedly be severe.
Unless you were 'Prince Naruto', of course.
If Naruto were still conscious, he might have taken the initiative to stop the Akatsuki from leaving.
The problem was that he was currently unconscious.
Therefore, without this 'unexpected' event, the seven members of the Akatsuki retreated smoothly.
Danzo also retreated with the Akatsuki.
Even if Kakashi wanted to take care of Danzo in one go, it was impossible to chase after him recklessly.
Today, he had already killed Danzo multiple times, venting a lot of his anger, and his pressure had significantly reduced. He could now slowly savor the sweetness of revenge.
In the past, Danzo was a high-ranking official in the village, and even if he wanted revenge, he couldn't take action against him.
But now, things were different.
Not only was Danzo a rogue ninja, but he had also joined the Akatsuki. Pursuing and killing him in the future would be a natural course of action.
After the seven members of the Akatsuki left, Bilu Huhu, who was carrying the Sealing Book, was about to be in trouble.
He was directly surrounded by a large number of Konoha ninjas. Even if he had four Bloodline Limits, let alone forty, it was impossible for him to escape.
Did he really think Konoha was a vegetable garden, where he could come and go as he pleased?
Hmm... Although this was true for Tang Ping and the others, the prerequisite was to have a clear understanding of Konoha's intelligence and, at the very least, the strength of a Super Kage.
Bilu Huhu was, at most, a Shadow Rank-level expert.
Even if he could take advantage of his Bloodline Limit to exert his 'First Encounter Kill' ability before his enemies grasped his information, he could only be treated as a strong Kage.
But there was still a qualitative difference from a Super Kage.
Aside from that, as long as Kakashi, Asuma, and Yamato joined forces, they could easily suppress him.
As for Jiraiya, he maintained his Sage Mode and stood before Tang Ping.
The fact that he had released Churong True Body also meant that Tang Ping had no intention of continuing his attack, otherwise, Jiraiya would have already taken action. It was impossible for him to just stand there and watch.
"If you give that to me, I can leave right now!"
Tang Ping pointed to the distance, where Sheren was being tied to a wooden stake by a group of Konoha ninjas.
He had no interest in the Sealing Book, but that didn't mean he wasn't interested in Sheren.
The Otsutsuki bloodline! He fully understood the benefits.
Tang Ping had already set his sights on Sheren earlier but was unable to capture him due to his escape.
That mysterious puppet escape technique was indeed hard to guard against.
Now, thanks to Naruto's 'Protagonist Halo', Sheren was finally knocked unconscious, providing a rare opportunity that couldn't be missed.
Otherwise, at other times, even if he could defeat Sheren, there was still a high possibility of not being able to capture him.
It was even possible for Sheren to counter-attack before dying, causing a chaotic situation.
"No, he's our captive!"
Tsunade spoke up for Jiraiya.
After the death of Nara Shikaku, she had already begun to take over the role of 'Strategist'.
Her ability as a strategist was well-known in the Ninja World, with a rating of over 90. As for Tsunade's ability as a strategist, a rating of over 70 would be considered good.
Moreover, the prerequisite was that she didn't involve her personal interests, otherwise, it was possible for the rating to become negative.
It could be said that the gap between people was sometimes even greater than that between humans and dogs.
"Is that so!"
Tang Ping's aura surged.
Although he didn't dare to cause trouble in Konoha, taking advantage of the situation to forcefully grab the unconscious Sheren, a member of the Otsutsuki clan, was definitely within his capabilities.
Jiraiya, of course, was on high alert.
However, Tang Ping not only didn't get angry, but a smile appeared on his face beneath the bone mask.
Because on their side, there was a 'helper'.
Hyuga Tsukimi!
She had been present all along, and now was the time for her to make her move.
In her current state, as her body was adapting to the Bloodline Limit, she couldn't exert her full strength, but she could still unleash most of her power.
And with her strength, even at half capacity, she was still at the Super Kage level.
Especially with her unique 'Presence' control, she was a master at such tasks.
"Universal Pull!"
Hyuga Tsukimi, who was several dozen meters away, stretched out her right hand.
Boom! The thick wooden stake that bound Sheren was pulled up by a powerful force and flew towards Hyuga Tsukimi.
"Be careful!"
"There's an enemy!"
"It's the Shell Organization's doing!"
"Quickly, stop them!"
...
The Konoha ninjas immediately launched a counterattack.
Whoosh!
A dense array of ninja tools were fired, and among them were even explosive tags.
Their reactions were genuinely fast.
