Chapter 928: Attempting A Rescue
Arriving beside Naruto, ‘Kuroto’ took the opportunity to confirm the positions of all the members of the Akatsuki while analyzing the Flying Raijin Mark on Naruto’s body.
The one who possesses the greatest danger is undoubtedly Nagato, and ‘Kuroto’ needs to pay special attention to him as he is standing only a few steps away. Moreover, because the Rinnegan has the ability to suck the souls out of bodies, ‘Kuroto’ has to make sure that he does not give Nagato the opportunity to suck or damage his soul, as that would be very dangerous.
As for the other members of the Akatsuki, none except ‘Madara’ possess any danger. Although they can damage the puppet body, they cannot hurt his soul, so ‘Kuroto’ is not worried about them.
After he had analyzed the Flying Raijin Mark on Naruto’s body, ‘Kuroto’ looked at Nagato and said, “I need to remove the isolation barrier you have put up before I can work on the Flying Raijin Mark on his body.”
“Go on,” nodded Nagato.
At this time, ‘Madara’ also moved a little closer. He wanted to take a closer look at how ‘Kuroto’ removes the Flying Raijin Mark from Uzumaki Naruto’s body. Of course, this is not the only reason; he is also on guard against any errors made by ‘Kuroto.’ After all, the tailed beast sealed inside Naruto’s body is the Nine-Tails, and ‘Madara’ doesn’t want any errors after they have gone through all this trouble to finally capture the Jinchuriki of the Nine-Tails.
‘Kuroto’ adjusted his posture, and then, under the watchful eyes of all the members of Akatsuki, he grabbed Naruto. Immediately after removing the isolation barrier set by Nagato, he threw Naruto toward Killer Bee, who was restrained by the Wooden Stakes.
“You?” All the members of the Akatsuki were taken aback. They couldn’t quite understand the reason why ‘Kuroto’ threw Naruto toward Killer Bee, who was restrained by Nagato’s Wood Release Jutsu.
Only Nagato, ‘Madara,’ and Konan, who were the closest, noticed that the isolation barrier on Uzumaki Naruto’s body had been removed, which means that it would be possible for Hatake Kakashi to come here using the Flying Raijin Jutsu.
After a moment of hesitation, Nagato raised his arm toward Naruto and Killer Bee and used Banshō Ten’in, and ‘Madara’ disappeared inside the Kamui space.Seeing Nagato raise his arm toward Naruto and Killer Bee, ‘Kuroto’ immediately used Shinra Tensei on Nagato at the puppet’s maximum power.
The attractive and repulsive forces of Banshō Ten’in and Shinra Tensei intertwined, distorting the space and squeezing the air, resulting in a large explosion.
BOOM! The explosion generated a powerful impact, creating an invisible shockwave that sent ‘Kuroto’ and Nagato flying in opposite directions.
Just as Nagato and ‘Kuroto’ were sent flying in opposite directions, suddenly, with a silver flash, a figure appeared beside Naruto.
Undoubtedly, this person is none other than Hatake Kakashi, who had been constantly trying to sense the position of Naruto as per Godaime Hokage’s order. The moment he could pinpoint Naruto’s exact position, without any hesitation, he used the Flying Raijin and appeared here.
Seeing that Kakashi had arrived beside Naruto and Killer Bee, ‘Kuroto’ smiled and prepared to evacuate.
“That’s Hatake Kakashi!”
“What is he doing here?”
“Damn it… He must have come using the Flying Raijin Jutsu!”
Kakashi’s sudden arrival did not go unnoticed. All the surrounding members of Akatsuki immediately reacted and acted against him.
The person closest to Kakashi is Sasori, who is more than twenty meters away from him. As for the other members, they are at a greater distance. Normally, this distance of twenty meters or so is nothing for Shinobi of their level. However, when competing against the Flying Raijin, it’s enough for several teleportations. Therefore, it’s kind of obvious that they wouldn’t be able to stop Kakashi, at least, that’s what ‘Kuroto’ expected.
However, his expectations were betrayed. The scene he expected to see, in which Kakashi used the Flying Raijin Jutsu to instantly take away both Naruto and Killer Bee, did not happen. Instead, Kakashi staggered after landing and almost collapsed.
“What?” The smile on his face froze.
The surrounding members of Akatsuki were also surprised, and without any hesitation, they all rushed at Kakashi.
“Damn it!” Cursed Kakashi as he tried to get up.
The moment he was able to pinpoint the exact location of Naruto, Kuroto realized that the distance was too far. But this was a race against time, and not caring about the consumption of Chakra, he immediately activated the Flying Raijin Jutsu.
Flying Raijin Jutsu has a very large chakra consumption, and this chakra consumption increases as the distance increases. That’s why, for crossing a country, more than seventy percent of his Chakra was drained!
Getting his grip and suppressing his dizziness, Kakashi looked around.
As he had expected, all the powerful enemies were coming toward him. However, what he did not expect was that beside Naruto, Killer Bee was also present!
“Was the Jinchuriki of Eight Tails also captured?” thought Kakashi.
But now is obviously not the time to explore what the Jinchuriki of Eight Tails is doing here. The most important thing now is to rescue both Naruto and Killer Bee. In fact, this is a very good opportunity, so Kakashi gritted his teeth and put his hands on Naruto and Killer Bee as he prepared to teleport using the Flying Raijin Jutsu.
However, what happened next was something Kakashi hadn’t expected. “What?!”
Because of Kakashi’s momentary dizziness, Nagato was able to get his grip, and he used Wood Release to extend vines out of the wooden stakes that entangled Killer Bee. The vines also entangled Kakashi’s hand and threw him toward the other Akatsuki members.
‘Ten-Finger Drilling Bullets!’
At the same time, Kaguya Takashi fired ten bone bullets made up of bones in the direction Kakashi was thrown by Nagato’s vines.
Sasori wasn’t to be outdone as he quickly took out his Hiruko puppet and controlled it to attack Kakashi.
“Why did he have to stumble at that moment?” screamed ‘Kuroto’ in his mind as he saw Kakashi fail to retreat with Naruto and Killer Bee. “This was the best opportunity to rescue both of them!”
With a sigh, ‘I guess I have to put more effort,’ ‘Kuroto’ thought and immediately used a wide-range Shinra Tensei to affect the entire mountain range.
BOOM! With ‘Kuroto’ at the center, a wide-range repulsive force swept in every direction. Whether people, things, or air, everything flew across a large distance.
Kakashi took this opportunity to appear beside Naruto, and the two of them flew away together, while Killer Bee also took this opportunity to disappear into smoke and dust as the wooden restraints were removed.
