Chapter 812: Akatsuki's True Objective!
Chapter 812: Akatsuki's True Objective!
Whoosh!
The vast ocean suddenly roiled into a tumultuous state.
This unexpected event caused both sides of the intense battle to instinctively halt their fighting.
If one were to try to tread water, the raging seas would make it impossible, let alone fighting on the surface.
It was akin to attempting to stand on the ocean's surface during a storm.
"What is that...?"
Neji's Byakugan gaze turned towards the distance.
Due to the limitations of the Byakugan's field of vision, he couldn't discern much, only noticing a small egg-shaped island slowly 'swimming' towards them.
Indeed, an island was approaching! It sounded unbelievable.
However, in the Ninja World, even more incredible things like time travel and resurrection existed, so a moving island was not surprising.
"As expected!"
The bandage-wrapped sword in Kujira's hand twitched slightly, and a glint of excitement flashed in his eyes as he understood the reason.
"It's here!"
Itachi's icy expression remained unchanged, but a hint of gravity passed through his eyes.
This was the objective of their mission.
It was for this reason that they had come to this place.
But...
Several hundred meters away, Tiantian put on a pair of futuristic-looking silver goggles.
These hand-crafted goggles had incredibly powerful functions.
They allowed Tiantian to see extremely far, calculate flight trajectories, and display functions like ammunition and weapon reserves.
They were truly a marvel of technology.
The only drawback was that they had to be hand-crafted and couldn't be mass-produced.
In the Ninja World, even the most advanced technological equipment wasn't an issue due to the existence of ninjutsu. If you believed you could do it, you could make it happen.
Through the 【Tactical Star Goggles】, Tiantian could clearly see the small island covered in moss and stone pillars.
It was incredibly small!
Only a few hundred meters wide and less than a kilometer long.
An island of this size wasn't considered particularly large in the vast ocean.
However, when Tiantian saw the thick mud falling off due to its movement, revealing something underneath, her expression grew more serious.
A shell!
A turtle shell!
Beneath the mud was an incredibly thick turtle shell.
The moss-covered stone pillars were actually dozens of meters tall bone spikes.
These distinctive features instantly made it clear that this was not an ordinary island but a well-known entity in the Ninja World.
A Tailed Beast!
It was the Three-Tails, Isobu.
While the size of the island seemed minuscule, it was an entirely different story when considering it as a Tailed Beast.
Its width of several hundred meters and length of nearly a kilometer far exceeded the fully transformed Jinchuriki forms.
Among the nine Tailed Beasts, the Three-Tails might not be the largest, but it was definitely among the top in terms of size.
It could only be said that Tailed Beasts living in the sea were massive.
Additionally, one could deduce another fact.
The fully transformed Jinchuriki forms were significantly smaller than their wild state.
If the Three-Tails Jinchuriki were to transform, it wouldn't be strange if they were only a fraction of their current size.
"So, this is Akatsuki's target?"
Tiantian muttered to herself.
At this moment, she couldn't possibly be unaware of Akatsuki's objective.
Tailed Beasts!
The enemy was here to capture the Tailed Beasts.
And stopping them was her trial.
However, this task didn't seem too important, as they wouldn't have entrusted it solely to her squad otherwise.
Ninja brains were not easily fooled.
Even someone like Ya, despite his impulsiveness, was actually quite intelligent.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have agreed so quickly to leave the village during his family's escape from Konoha.
He understood that staying in the village would mean the end for the Inuzuka clan.
After moving to the castle, although their clan's power diminished, everyone could live better lives.
As Tiantian gained more experience, her mind became sharper.
She could at least guess what Do Ping was hinting at.
The importance of the mission!
If it were truly a critical mission, they wouldn't have assigned it to her team as a trial.
Especially since their task was to investigate the laboratory, which they had already completed. Even if they failed this trial, the consequences wouldn't be too severe.
The backup plan!
It was already in place.
After seeing the Tailed Beast, Tiantian instantly understood everything.
"Akatsuki!"
Excitement flashed in Tiantian's eyes.
As a Konoha ninja, she would have undoubtedly prioritized fleeing upon encountering these S-class rogue ninjas.
However, after joining the Radiant Sun Country and receiving Tang Ping's tailored growth path, fleeing was out of the question. Instead, she felt increasingly eager to test her abilities.
Facing this situation, she knew it was time to unleash her full power.
Buzz!
The space behind her rippled like water, and she stored the combat boat within it.
The upcoming battle would undoubtedly be intense, so it was only natural to keep this means of transportation safe.
"All of you, leave this sea area immediately!"
As she stowed away the combat boat, Tian Tian issued orders to the Fishmen by her side.
At this moment, Yu Tie had already brought back Yu Huo, and they all stood by Tian Tian's side.
"Yes, Lady Tian Tian!"
Yu Tie, without hesitation, led the other Fishmen away. This battle was not one they could interfere with.
Indeed, their change in attitude was evident from their address and response.
Previously, they addressed her as 'Ninja Lady,' and their current obedient attitude indicated that they now considered her a member of the Radiant Sun Country.
There was no other way; she had given them too much.
Tian Tian had only mentioned some basic benefits, and they were already unable to contain their excitement. It was even more challenging to resist the allure of the Radiant Sun Country's research capabilities compared to the Sea Country.
Roar!
At that moment, Sanbi's muscles rippled with a roar.
It was clear that it sensed danger.
Initially, it approached out of familiarity, but now it found itself in the face of a dangerous enemy invading its territory.
As Sanbi roared, numerous sea beasts gathered.
Commanding the sea beasts!
This was the ability of the wild Sanbi.
Just like the Nine-Tails' ability to sense good and evil, Sanbi possessed a unique ability as well.
Looking back, after entering this sea area, the increased number of sea beasts and their heightened aggression were undoubtedly influenced by Sanbi.
Pop!
Tian Tian's armguard rapidly expanded, covering her entire body like a living thing.
Silver armor enveloped her, and with the addition of her specialized goggles, her defense was at its peak.
Regarding genjutsu, as long as she activated her special mode, she could be completely immune to it, similar to how Sanji's power armor could resist genjutsu.
Both utilized a 'camera' mode to observe their surroundings, making it impossible to fall under the influence of genjutsu.
However, the trade-off was slower reactions.
Since the process involved capturing images and then presenting them, there would inevitably be some delay.
It was like live streaming; ordinary people wouldn't notice a delay of less than half a second, but for a ninja, this delay was significant.
In any case, using this method to counter genjutsu had its advantages and disadvantages, and it was up to her to choose when to employ it.
Next, a small airship measuring several dozen meters in length appeared.
Airship!
The airship was handcrafted by Tang Ping, equipped with anti-gravity barriers and chakra cores.
For long-range attacks, nothing could beat the advantage of a high ground position.
Tian Tian leaped into the airship's gondola.
Just as Tian Tian was preparing, the battle ahead had already commenced.
After its roar, Sanbi paid no heed to friend or foe and launched an offensive.
Whoosh!
First, its tail, resembling a segmented whip several hundred meters long and a dozen meters wide, lashed down with tremendous force.
Indiscriminate attack!
Everyone quickly dodged.
No one was willing to take that strike head-on.
Boom!
The terrifying attack cleaved through the ocean, sending countless water droplets into the air and creating a downpour in the surrounding area.
Sanbi's attack was incredibly powerful.
In the anime, its fearsome nature was not adequately portrayed.
Opportunity!
Daichi seized this chance to pounce on Sasuke, intending to work with Naruto to take down their opponent.
As Sasuke retreated, Itachi, who had been watching from a distance, showed no intention of intervening, despite a fleeting glint in his eyes.
His goal was to bring Sasuke back to Konoha, so he wouldn't interfere.
After evading the aftermath, Itachi rushed towards Sanbi and glanced at Kisame.
Kisame, understanding the signal, instantly began forming hand seals.
"Water Style: Great Shark Bullet Technique!"
He unleashed his most potent water-style jutsu, a shark-shaped water bullet, directly colliding with Sanbi's head.
This water bullet could topple small mountains, yet it couldn't harm Sanbi, proving its reputation as the strongest defensive tailed beast.
However, before Sanbi could retaliate, a figure with a black body and red cloud-like aura appeared, standing on its nose, their gazes locked.
