Chapter 882: The Poison Pill Plan!
Chapter 882: The Poison Pill Plan!
"Sasuke has been taken away by them!" Minako whispered her report.
This was something Tang Ping had instructed beforehand; otherwise, would they have really left Sasuke lying on top of the stone wall without any backup plan?
With Minako's speed, there was no way Kaito could have taken Sasuke if she didn't want him to.
They were only concerned about the enemy taking Itachi as a 'trophy', while Sasuke was intentionally 'given' to them to execute the subsequent plan.
The Poison Pill Plan!
A plan specifically designed to trap others and the Six Paths.
And at the core of this plan was Sasuke, which was why they needed to 'send' him to Akatsuki instead of letting him join the Sunlight Nation.
"Hmm."
Tang Ping nodded lightly, indicating that he understood the situation.
The plan unfolded as he had anticipated.
Kaito took Ergouzi with him because they naturally had a reason to cooperate.
They both hated Konoha! So, inviting them to join Akatsuki was a logical next step.
As for why they gave up on Itachi's combat power? It was not only because his body had reached its limit but also because they sensed his desire to die, which was why Akatsuki didn't stop him.
Otherwise, with such a powerful Kage-level fighter, they would have definitely kept him as a backup.
"Summoning Technique!"
Quan formed hand seals and summoned a gray fat cat nearly the size of a person.
"Gray Scythe, take this person with you!"
She threw a Wood Heaven Solitude potion to the cat and then pointed at Itachi on the ground.
"Yes, Lady Quan!"
The cat named 'Gray Scythe' first used its claws to pick up the potion and then carried Itachi from the stone platform onto its back.
"Let's go and watch the show!"
Tang Ping turned his head and looked to the west, a sinister smile flashing across his lips.
He was curious to see Naruto's expression at this moment.
After all, he had sent his two top fighters, the Red Flower Stick duo, disguised to intercept the Seventh Squad, so they should be able to give Naruto a 'surprise', right?
You should know that although Hyuga Tsukuyuki seemed tame and obedient in front of Tang Ping, her actual personality... Well, even Tang Ping was afraid of her, which was why he always kept her by his side, fearing she would cause trouble.
Several kilometers to the west, a battle was underway.
"Divine Flame Heaven's Call!"
After the calm and indifferent voice, a terrifying repulsive force erupted.
Rumble!
The ground and trees were pushed back by the force, leaving behind a bowl-shaped crater with a radius of over a hundred meters.
Above the crater, a figure in a black robe with red cloud patterns, wearing a mask, and with golden short hair, floated in the air.
In his left hand, he 'held' a person who looked like their bones had been removed, resembling a dead fish.
Asuma!
At this moment, the elite Jonin of Konoha and the leader of the Seventh Squad was being held like a rag doll by Hyuga Tsukuyuki, who was floating several dozen meters in the air.
"Let go of Asuma-sensei!"
Naruto, enveloped in the Tailed Beast Chakra Mode, with two chakra fox tails spread out like wings, flew towards the floating Hyuga Tsukuyuki.
On the edge of the crater, Sakura was using medical ninjutsu to treat Saji.
Saji had a blood hole the size of an egg on his waist.
If not treated in time, he could bleed to death.
Gulp!
Saji took out a bottle of healing potion from his tactical belt and drank it, restoring some color to his pale face.
Healing Potion + Medical Ninjutsu!
This combination could quickly restore his fighting strength.
Otherwise, using either one alone would require some time to recover.
However, there was a cost to recovering so quickly.
Life Force! The faster the recovery, the more life force was needed to compensate.
But Saji didn't care about this.
If he couldn't recover his fighting strength quickly, he wasn't sure if he would even survive the day, so what use was having more life force?
"Sakura, later I'll find a way to rescue Asuma-sensei from them. When that happens, you take him and retreat first, and I'll cover your escape with Naruto!"
Saji laid out the strategy.
With his newfound confidence, he was no longer the same person he was back in the Root days.
In the past, he would have made decisions like a machine.
"Okay!"
Sakura nodded.
She was well aware that her strength was the weakest in the Seventh Squad, so it was best for her to take Asuma-sensei and retreat first.
Soon, Saji's wounds healed, and he stood up.
Whoosh!
He unfurled a scroll and, with a brush, painted an eagle on it.
"Beast Illusion!"
Saji immediately activated his secret technique, causing the painted eagle to fly out of the scroll, and he leaped onto its back, heading towards the Shell Organization member hovering above the giant pit.
Although the opponent wore the Akatsuki Organization uniform and used the leader's abilities, they had just pulled a similar stunt at the Tenchi Bridge. They weren't fools, so there was no way they wouldn't recognize the trick.
Whoosh!
A fierce wind brushed past his ears.
Read the authentic version at 69 Book Bar! 6=9+Book_Bar Original Novel.
Saji recalled his actions after joining the Seventh Squad.
From the initial rejection and hostility to the current bond, these were all his precious treasures. Even knowing the high probability of death if he charged forward, he didn't hesitate.
He swallowed a forbidden pill, causing his chakra to surge, and then Saji painted a two-winged nine-headed dragon on the scroll and performed hand seals, shouting.
"Beast Illusion. Nine-Headed Dragon!"
He consumed all the chakra in his body to perform this recently learned secret technique.
Hiss!
Amidst the ominous hissing sounds, a dragon as thick as a barrel, made of ink, emerged from the scroll as if drilling out.
Whoosh!
The two-winged nine-headed dragon extended its serpentine heads towards the hovering figure in front.
Saji drew his Shinobi Sword and, using the nine-headed dragon as cover, stealthily jumped behind the opponent. With a swift slash, he aimed for the opponent's left hand, forcing them to release Yamato.
As Saji expected, Yamato, who had been held captive, was released and began to fall towards the ground below.
Saji wasn't worried about Yamato's safety because a painted eagle would swoop in from below, catching him and delivering him to Sakura's side.
However, Saji discovered that as his sword was about to strike the opponent, it suddenly stopped.
"How is this possible!"
Saji's mind was in turmoil.
Under the immense pressure, he couldn't move, as if frozen in the air.
"A bag of rice to carry up several floors (Feel the pain!)"
Hyuga Tsukuyuki recited Pain's lines.
Indeed, she liked this line very much, and since Tang Ping enjoyed playing with words, she planned to 'borrow' it for her own use.
Buzz!
The invisible pressure suddenly intensified, pressing towards Saji.
Crack!
He felt his bones creaking under the immense pressure, and his mind flashed with memories.
The only thing that comforted Saji was that he had rescued Yamato.
"...
Before Saji could reassure himself that his sacrifice wasn't in vain, he noticed that Yamato had also floated to his side, and his body began to contort under the immense pressure.
"Why do you think you can rescue someone from me?"
Hyuga Tsukuyuki looked at Saji, who was just a few meters away but couldn't take a step forward, with great curiosity.
To rescue someone from her, wouldn't they need the peak power of Hashirama Senju and Madara Uchiha?
Although Saji had demonstrated his strength numerous times before, why would the opponent still think that he could save someone using this so-called 'Beast Illusion'?
Overestimating oneself!
That was Hyuga Tsukuyuki's assessment of their behavior.
When facing Prince Naruto, due to the opponent's peculiar situation and the instructions from her elders, Hyuga Tsukuyuki focused on defense.
However, facing these two members of the Seventh Squad, she wouldn't hold back. Playing with and torturing her opponents were her interests.
In her peak state with the Rebirth Eye, she could manipulate repulsion and attraction.
Although this manipulation was far inferior to using the Divine Sky Call and Universal Celestial Attraction, it was extremely flexible.
For a shadowed elite ninja like Saji, this repulsion and attraction had no effect.
But against a Wood Style elite ninja under the influence of her Mental Sphere and a Root elite ninja, she didn't think they could break free from this force field combining repulsion and attraction.
Indeed, Hyuga Tsukuyuki was currently using both repulsion and attraction to squeeze the two of them with the force field.
As for the nine-headed dragon, sorry, she casually shattered it with a Sky Void Strike, without a second thought.
Now it was her playtime.
But just as Hyuga Tsukuyuki's 'play' began, someone interrupted without regard for the situation.
