"Whoosh..."

Li Kai and Itachi were speeding along the road.

"Do you think Deidara and Scorpion can survive?" Li Kai suddenly said while running.

"What's the meaning?"

"As a Konoha, you don't know the strength of those people, right? Why don't you care at all whether the other party can win the Nine-Tails Jinchuuriki? Is it because you think they can't succeed at all, so I ask you

, do you think they can survive before we arrive?"

Looking sideways at Li Kai, Itachi never thought that Li Kai would say such a thing. After all, Deidara was the guy who could kill the Kazekage, and Scorpion was even more powerful than Deidara. Even so.

Two people, Li Kai, actually thought they would be killed. It seemed that this guy had a much better understanding of Konoha than he thought.

"Everything unexpected can happen in battle," Itachi just replied dryly and continued on his way.

Li Kai looked at the other party looking past his back, "Haha, is that right? It seems like it's almost done. In that case, I need to speed up, otherwise if they die, I will be in trouble. Although they

They are all guys competing with me for the Tailed Beast Jinchūriki, which will make my mission completion not so high. But once the main mission 2 is completed, the next mission will be indispensable, and the two strong men will definitely be a big help."

Recalling the plan Uchiha Madara told him, Li Kai had some guesses about the next battle.

"There are only five tailed beasts left. One in Konoha, two in Cloud Ninja Village, and two in the Kingdom of Water. So whether I save them or not, my chances will not be less. In this case

If the interests are greatest, of course the most important thing is to let them survive.”

Thinking of this, Li Kai's eyes flashed with light. Then his speed began to speed up. In the blink of an eye, the two phantoms disappeared.

…

'Boom~' Deidara looked at the Nine-Tailed Jinchuuriki behind him. If it were only Naruto himself, he would have originally planned to fight with him to see if he was as powerful as he heard, but there was a COPY ninja following him.

Kakashi himself had consumed a lot of clay and chakra when fighting Gaara, and he was not confident that he could face the combined attack of the two of them.

"It's really troublesome, huh"

At this time, in the collapsed cave at the previous assembly point, Xie looked at the two puppets in front of Chiyo. Although there was no change in expression, the only bit of flesh tissue on his body was trembling slightly.

"Mom and dad?" She didn't say what she was thinking, she just watched calmly.

"Xiao, have you forgotten your previous works? Father and mother?" Chiyo looked at Xie's indifferent eyes and felt a pain in his heart.

"Ah, it's just two puppets. They are still my poor works from before. Do you think you can defeat me with them?" Xie said nonchalantly.

"Is that what you think?" Chiyo looked at Xia's indifferent look, and couldn't help but feel even more painful in his heart. You must know that the other person is his own grandson, why is he like this?

…

The sun rose in the east and set in the west, and Li Kai suddenly fell from the sky.

‘Pa…’

The sound of the soles of their feet hitting the ground attracted the attention of all three people.

"Well? Xie, it looks like you're miserable." Looking at the two blades inserted into Xie's chest, Li Kai frowned slightly. "It seems that I'm still too late."

He glanced at Chiyo and Sakura, "It seems you are tired."

Li Kai's words instantly caused Xie's pupils to shrink, and then the corners of his mouth curled up, "It seems that you are not as cold-blooded as you look. It seems that even the people of the Slaughter Clan are not all emotionless people."

"Do you need me to collect your body? Bury you and these two puppets together."

"Ah, that's troublesome. Also, let me tell Deidara that I'm really sorry for making him wait for so long."

"OK"

Li Kai nodded, then made a mistake with his foot, and instantly arrived in front of Xie, who was about to fall. He put a hand on the opponent's body, preventing Xie from falling down like this.

"Whoosh..."

Itachi fell from the sky. Looking at Li Kai's movements, he frowned slightly.

"After killing them two, go find Deidara. By the way, you can also capture your target, the Nine-Tailed Jinchuuriki." Li Kai took the small cylindrical thing that represented him from Scorpion's body and replied.

He turned around and looked at Chiyo and Sakura indifferently.

"Kai, don't waste time. Scorpion has been captured, and Deidara's side is probably going to be doomed as well. It's better to seize the time to support Deidara's side."

“You won’t waste much time”

"But that's also a waste, isn't it?"

Itachi walked up to Li Kai and sealed the other two puppets and handed them to Li Kai, and then disappeared instantly. Li Kai's eyes that seemed to be looking at dead people were staring at the weak faces of Sakura and Chiyo, and suddenly he made a move

A smile broke out in seconds, "Hey, don't worry, I'm just joking. Since Scorpion let you go, I'll let you go this time too. You won't be so lucky next time we meet."

Then Li Kai suddenly disappeared.

in their field of vision.

"Huh~ Is it finally safe?" Sakura's heart dropped, and the sweat across her cheeks dripped on the ground. It was really because Li Kai and Uchiha Itachi put too much pressure on them.

"Those eyes, do they belong to the Uchiha clan?" Chiyo recalled Itachi's startling glance, and immediately shouted "No"

"What's wrong? Granny Chiyo?" Sakura had just recovered from Li Kai's shock when she heard Granny Chiyo's cry. She instantly became nervous and looked around, thinking that Li Kai had not left but was waiting for a sneak attack.

"The direction those two people are going is to the other Akatsuki organization members. If they get close to them..."

Chiyo made it so obvious, how could Sakura still not understand? His pupils began to dilate, "Kakashi-sensei and Naruto are in danger, no, we can't stay here any longer. If this continues, Kaka

Teacher Nishi and Naruto may be..."

But just when Sakura's body tried to exert strength, she went limp and almost fell to the ground. "Damn it, my body..."

"Sakura, don't worry so much. They are all ninjas who can stand on their own and won't be fooled so easily."

"Grandma Chiyo, I know it too, but I just can't let go. I..."

"Sakura," Chiyo suddenly called her name in a deep voice. She looked at the other person who seemed to have been awakened before she said, "Although many people say that feelings should not be something that ninjas should have, but that's just because sometimes

Emotions can make people blind, it doesn't really need to be eliminated. I can see that you and Naruto have very deep feelings, but don't lose the calmness that a ninja should have because of this, otherwise one day they will not only not let go

If you continue to feel the warmth, it will make your life more difficult."

Sakura finally calmed down and nodded.

'Whizzing……'

Listening to the constant explosions coming from far ahead, Li Kai glanced at Itachi beside him, "It seems Deidara is alive and well. Listen, the explosion made him very excited."

"Kay, why?"

"Huh? What?" Li Kai tilted his head and looked at Itachi in confusion, not understanding what the other party meant or what the other party was asking.

"You must have been sent here by Uchiha Madara to monitor me."

This sentence made Li Kai's pupils shrink slightly, "Uchiha Madara? I seem to have heard of this name."

Itachi's eyes turned in his sockets towards Li Kai, and the magatama in his eyes moved slightly.

"Whether it's you or the previous Kisame, you were sent by that guy. It's obvious that you are both from Kirigakure Village, and as far as I know, the fourth generation Mizukage of Kirigakure Village had a big temper at the time.

The implementation of the Blood Mist Policy has a lot to do with that guy, so I'm curious why you people in Kirigakure Village believe in Uchiha Madara's words like that, for that plan."

‘Whoosh~’

Li Kai stopped on a big tree. Listening to the explosion in the distance, a smile appeared on Li Kai's face. "Although I thought you discovered my identity from the beginning, you can actually endure it for two years."

How much time did it take to ask?”

"Then why?"

"Because I am full of disappointment in today's ninja world, my family, my village. Since you know the Blood Mist, you should know what the Mist Ninja Village looked like at that time, a place full of despair, killing, and blood.

, what do you think we grown-up ninjas will be like?" Turning around suddenly, the blood in Li Kai's eyes flashed away, and the killing intent and murderous aura all over his body burst out instantly, and the whole person was like a person who had never grown up.

Like a devil walking out of the blood river, his eyes stared at Itachi. "That's why those who don't have desire will have it. The scene he described kept running through my mind, just like Deidara and Scorpion, for their sake."

Art, they don’t mind their own lives, and for me, Kisame and your first companion, Loquat Juzo, for that illusory goal, it may not be a real goal, and we will not be stingy with our own lives.

life"

When he said this, Li Kai suddenly paused, and the murderous aura in his body disappeared without a trace as if it had never appeared before. "No, I still care about my own life. Even if it is an illusion, I hope to see it with my own eyes."

Scenes"

He turned around and no longer looked at Itachi's expression at this time. The explosions in the distance had stopped for a while. He didn't know whether Deidara had been killed or...

"Your body is not strong enough to support your frequent battles, not to mention that you have just experienced a long period of attacks. You can take a rest here and leave the matters with Deidara to me.

That’s it”

"Okay" Itachi nodded slightly, not trying to be brave. After all, his body knew that for his own purposes, he must avoid fighting if he could avoid it now.

‘Shua~’ Li Kai turned into a phantom and disappeared.

And Itachi looked at Li Kai's leaving figure, "Is that so? Uchiha Madara? Is this your plan? First let the ninjas taste despair, and then use the warmth they have never enjoyed to drive them, yours

The method is really clever.”

…

"Tch! What a troublesome guy, those eyes... I didn't expect that Itachi guy actually has a Sharingan eye like others, which can directly distort space. Now that both arms are gone, the seal and the
