Chapter 174 Do you also want to dance?
Having escaped, Minato Namikaze immediately threw out a lot of kunai to expand his landing area and prevent the enemy from pursuing and killing him.
This time, however, Shiba Kiyokawa unusually did not rush to chase after him.
Even when faced with Minato Namikaze's horrified questioning, he kindly gave him a reply.
"It was just a little illusion trick that made you forget about the shoulder injury you sustained at the beginning of the fight."
Minato Namikaze was startled by what he heard, then, as if waking from a dream, he instantly broke free of the illusion and looked down at his shoulder.
That was the spot where he was slashed at the very beginning of the battle by Shiba Kiyokawa, who had been waiting in ambush and showed no martial ethics.
Now that the misconception has been dispelled, he noticed that the wound had long been festering, turning black and purple, and even the blood flowing out had turned a chilling purplish-black.
"You...you poisoned the knife?"
Minato Namikaze finally realized what the enemy had done.
Shiba Kiyokawa simply smiled at this.
"Have you forgotten that Akatsuki only obtained the Land of Rain after defeating Hanzo the Salamander? It would be a waste not to use such excellent material!"
Although Hanzo's body was given to Nagato to be used as Pain, the salamander venom sac originally sealed inside Hanzo's body was kept by Shiba Kiyokawa in a scroll and carried with him at all times.
He had never used it before, partly because he didn't need to rely on poison to defeat other ninjas; the sword in his hand was enough to solve everything.
Secondly, it was for the same reason that Minato Namikaze had kept his Flying Thunder God mark hidden until now—
If they cannot guarantee a surprise victory and achieve results, they would rather keep their cards hidden to avoid alerting their opponents!
It has been almost two months since his last encounter with Minato Namikaze, but during that time Minato has never once used the Flying Thunder God mark on his chest to launch a sneak attack.
Everything was done to maintain restraint; once a move was made, it was fatal!
But Minato Namikaze never expected that he would encounter a ruthless person who was even more tolerant than him!
It has been more than half a year since Shiba Kiyokawa and his group killed Hanzo the Salamander. Before that, Shiba Kiyokawa had never once demonstrated his poison skills!
Patience and patience, all for today's amazing performance!
The next moment, in front of Minato Namikaze, Shiba Kiyokawa reached out to his chest and, relying on his profound understanding of sealing techniques, gradually sealed the exposed Flying Thunder God mark.
He then formed hand seals and calmly erected more ice mirrors around himself, reconstructing the field magic that Minato Namikaze had recently destroyed with all his might.
He wasn't in a hurry at all.
They didn't even give Minato Namikaze a final chance to fight back, instead leisurely making the most of their advantages.
They were so steady, as if they had lost something!
However, this extreme composure only made Minato Namikaze more desperate at this moment!
The toxins are spreading, and blood is flowing.
Time is truly running out for Minato Namikaze...
Minato Namikaze looked back at the mountain path behind him—the Konoha ninja he had brought were still fighting hard, and the battle was fierce and the roar was constant in the mountains and forests!
But as far as he could see, no one rushed to his current location...
The team that he had severely damaged two months ago has now miraculously recovered and become even more elite!
This result also greatly alarmed Minato Namikaze.
This proves that the rise of the Akatsuki organization was by no means a matter of luck!
The enemy truly possesses mobilization and training capabilities that are beyond their reach!
At this moment, Minato Namikaze's heart is increasingly filled with despair.
What should I do?
Just when Minato Namikaze was on the verge of collapse and couldn't think of any countermeasures, suddenly, a violent explosion came from below the valley!
Crimson flames shot from the bottom of the ravine all the way up into the sky, making them clearly visible to everyone standing on the mountaintop.
At that moment, all the ninjas on both sides of the battle were stunned!
Only Shiba Kiyokawa remained calm and composed as he watched this scene, even feeling a slight sense of relief.
Just as he had predicted, as the situation was about to slide into an unpredictable abyss, the two masterminds behind the scenes in the ravine could no longer sit still!
Rewind a bit, and in the valley, Kakashi is leading his team forward, cautiously making their way.
Unlike in the original story, this time Minato Namikaze will not accompany them even for the first half of the journey.
They had to rely on themselves the whole time!
Fortunately, the number of ninjas who carried out the mission with them was much greater than in the original story; Konoha truly went all out this time!
Unfortunately, the number of enemies has also increased several times compared to the original story!
Iwagakure had received advance warning from Akatsuki and had ambushed a large number of squads in the mountain stream!
Kakashi and his friends were plunged into a fierce battle from the moment they stepped into the valley!
This time, there was no melodramatic scene of Rin being captured first, and Kakashi no longer needed to be lectured by Obito here.
His temperament and strength have long surpassed those of his contemporaries in the original work.
However, Obito's growth clearly couldn't keep up with the intensity of the war.
Not long after, Obito was seriously injured, and then, under the secret instigation of Black Zetsu, he was successfully crushed under a boulder!
Everything seemed to be going very smoothly up to this point.
Black Zetsu was already prepared to reap the rewards.
The next moment, led by Pain, Iwagakure launched a charge that immediately repelled Konoha's attack, forcing the battle line back!
As everyone knows, only the winning side has the right to loot the battlefield.
Poor Obito Uchiha hadn't even finished his cool lines when he realized that Rin and Kakashi were gone, and he was only surrounded by a circle of Iwagakure ninja.
"Captain, a huge find! We've found an Uchiha! He's still alive, and he's awakened his Sharingan!"
"Quick, gouge his eyes out! They're a great trophy!"
At that moment, Obito was stunned, and so was Black Zetsu.
This script is wrong!!
In the ensuing chaos, Black Zetsu had no choice but to turn to Madara Uchiha for help once again.
Ban sat deep inside the cave, his aged face twitching.
"How can you be so incompetent as an embodiment of my will?"
You can't even protect Nagato! You couldn't beat a few young people from the Land of Rain, how come you can't even protect a loser like the Uchiha?!
What use are you to me anyway?
Madara always believed that Black Zetsu was an embodiment of his will.
But now, for the first time, he had some doubts.
It's not because I suddenly understood.
It's simply that they can't accept that their own incarnation is so useless...
If Black Zetsu knew that he had been exposed in this way, he would probably want to die.
But there was nothing he could do!
Now the Akatsuki organization is opposing him at every turn, and all three Pain bodies are watching Kakashi's team from the valley!
What can he do?
He was desperate too!
"Lord Madara, I... I have no choice but to rely on you now."
Madara practically wanted to strangle Black Zetsu.
"If I attack again, I really won't survive!"
Madara Uchiha's life was already as fragile as a candle in the wind; he was now only clinging to life by connecting with the Gedo Mazo.
He originally intended to prolong his life until he had corrupted and turned Obito Uchiha into a villain, then nurtured him into a capable individual, and finally handed over Kirigakure to Obito completely before passing away.
However, the Akatsuki's relentless pressure has left Black Zetsu completely helpless.
"How about I take care of things from now on?"
Madara Uchiha stared intently at Black Zetsu, letting out a cold snort that held no clear meaning.
Given Black Zetsu's repeated performances against Akatsuki, Madara would be incredibly worried!
But right now, he has no other choice...
No one could subdue Pain, and with the combined efforts of the three Pains, the battlefield had been completely taken over by the Iwagakure forces!
If this drags on any longer, Obito might really be dug up and carried away by the Iwagakure ninja.
Without time to hesitate, Madara Uchiha could only let out a long sigh.
"I'm leaving things to you from now on, my clone."
He had no choice but to continue believing in Black Zetsu.
The next moment, scorching flames erupted from the ground, spewing out from every crack in the rocks, instantly igniting the entire valley!
Amidst the blazing flames, a blue Susanoo arm emerged from the ground and grabbed Pain.
An aged voice came from underground: "What, you want to dance too?"
