Chapter 285: 285
"What's wrong with this kid?"
After Jiraiya's hair was torn off, he took back several steps, and was very surprised by the strange changes that had taken place on Kimimaro's body.
"Captain, we are here to help!"
When the two Anbu saw this, they rushed towards Kimimaro from left to right, trying to subdue him.
Facing the two enemies who were coming towards him, Kimimaro let out a low growl as he suddenly turned to one side, and threw out a long, thick tail that grew behind him, and hit two Anbu with a sweeping momentum.
'Boom!'
The two were caught off guard and were knocked flying by Kimimaro's tail flick, and fell to the ground.
When the other Anbu saw this, they were shocked and threw the chains in their hands at Kimimaro together, trying to take down this monster together.
'Whoosh.'
However Kimimaro kicked the ground and jumped into the air, not only dodging the attack of the chains, but also grew a pair of huge black wings on his back.
Before the people on the ground came back to their senses, Kimimaro's wings spread out, and countless feathers attacked the enemy like a shuriken, causing them to be defend immediately.
Jiraiya widened his eyes, and while his expression was horrified, he also felt faintly in his heart that he seemed to have seen the ability Kimimaro showed at this time somewhere else.
His intuition was not wrong, because Kimimaro's tail and wings were all abilities he inherited from Kisame through the curse mark.
Shark tail lightning whip, and wings in the form of Satori.
Not far away, Naruto, Sasuke, Itachi and others were also stunned when they saw Kimimaro show such great power.
Itachi knew that if Kimimaro had shown such power from the beginning, he would have lost long ago.
At this moment, Kimimaro, who suppressed the group of Anbu, swooped down from the air and went straight to Sarutobi Hiruzen.
His goal is very clear, that is to save Haku and Karin, and take them out of here.
However, Sarutobi Hiruzen and Jiraiya obviously won't let Kimimaro get his wish easily.
Hair Needles!
Jiraiya formed seals and turned his hair into countless needles and attacked Kimimaro.
In the face of such a powerful attack, even Kimimaro couldn't ignore it. He could only wrap his body with a pair of wings to form a defense against it.
And at this moment, Hiruzen Sarutobi seized the opportunity and used a more powerful fire ninjutsu.
Fire release Fire Dragon Bomb!
This is an extremely powerful fire ninjutsu. Flames spit out from Hiruzen Sarutobi's mouth turned into three lifelike fire dragons, and attacked Kimimaro from the front, left, and right at the, making the latter unable to avoid it. Kimimaro was instantly swallowed by flames.
'Boom.'
Under the all round blow of hair needles and the violent fire dragon, Kimimaro's wings failed to protect him. Not only has the needles punch a few large holes, his feathers were all scorched. He stumbled back a few feet back, and finally slammed to the ground on one knee.
Although he activated the curse mark left by Kisame in his body, it was his first time using this kind of power, so he couldn't control it skillfully. In addition, his opponents were real Kage level powerhouses, Jiraiya the Sanin and Sarutobi Hiruzen the Professor.
So, he is doomed to be defeated by them.
Sarutobi Hiruzen and Jiraiya looked at each other again and rushed towards Kimimaro together.
Earth swamp.
Sarutobi Hiruzen took the lead, and after the seal was formed, he slapped his palm to the ground.
In the next second, the ground under Kimimaro's feet softened rapidly and turned into a swamp, causing his legs to sink into it, making it difficult for him to escape for a while.
On the other hand, Jiraiya jumped high, a dazzling Rasengan appeared in the palm of his hand, exuding terrifying chakra fluctuations, and slammed down at Kimimaro.
After this blow, it is conceivable that even if Kimimaro is lucky, he will be seriously injured.
In the nick of time.
'Swish.'
A tall figure appeared in front of Kimimaro out of thin air, and then he stretched out his hand to take on Jiraiya's Rasengan.
'Huh?'
Jiraiya was horrified to discover that his Rasengan did not exert the destructive power it should have at all, and it was directly absorbed by some mysterious power, and finally became nill.
Before he came back to his senses, the other party kicked him over, and Jiraiya rolled in the air for several times, and barely stabilized his body and landed on the ground.
"Are you OK?"
Sarutobi Hiruzen glanced at Jiraiya and hurriedly asked. After confirming that there was nothing serious, he looked at the tall figure, only to see that the other party was just like them, wearing a mask on his face, so he couldn't see his true appearance.
'Is he their accomplice?'
Sarutobi Hiruzen was not that surprised by the appearance of the masked man. He was only surprised that the other party was standing on the swamp, but he did not sink in like Kimimaro.
No.
He looked carefully, and finally found that the masked man was not actually standing on the swamp, but his feet were off the ground and suspended one centimeter above the swamp.
Just as Sarutobi Hiruzen was suprised, the masked man stretched out a hand and lifted Kimimaro out of the swamp.
"I'm sorry, Sensei, I."
With a face of self-blame and guilt, Kimimaro , who deeply realized that he had made a big mistake due to his own impulse, apologised.
"Let's talk about it later." The masked man, Kisame, interrupted Kimimaro's apology.
"Haku and Karin are still in the hands of the enemy." Kimimaro hurriedly continued, and as soon as he finished speaking, he heard two screams of Anbu coming from the opposite side.
It was Pakura who made a sneak attack to rescue Haku and Karin.
Kisame then released chakra from the soles of its feet. The swamp instantly hardened and returned to its original structure. Then, his eyes swept across the Konoha ninjas in turn, and said:
"Yo, it's really inspiring. So many Konoha Anbu ninjas came together just to bully three children that are a few years old, such a shameless behavior is something that only Konoha can do."
In fact, Kisame and Pakura had long been outside the training ground and had been hiding in the woods.
The reason why he didn't take action before was just to see how far Kimimaro could go, hoping that the latter could unleash his potential in the face of adversity.
On the whole, Kimimaro's performance did not disappoint Kisame.
Facing Kisame mockery, Hiruzen Sarutobi frowned, as he responded coldly:
"The white-haired boy attacked Naruto Uzumaki, threatening the Konoha's son of prophecy, so he was regarded as an enemy. Who are you? Not only did you sneak into Konoha to commit murder, but you also spoke up after being exposed. It's ridiculous to blame Konoha."
"If Kimimaro really wanted to commit murder, those little kids over there, including the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki Uzumaki Naruto, would have already died."
Pakura said disdainfully.
"Are you Pakura of the Scorch release?!"
Seeing Pakura's face, a Konoha Anbu couldn't help but exclaim. The rest of the people heard that, and were shocked by the name.
Pakura of the Scorch release, who shined on the battlefield of the Fourth Ninja World War, is known as the "Phoenix", and is the hero of Kirigakure.
In current Kirigakure, this woman is the number two person, second only to the sixth Mizukage Tsunade in terms of strength and status.
Her strength is so great that even if Sarutobi Hiruzen and Jiraiya join forces, there is no certainty of victory.
Realizing this, Sarutobi Hiruzen immediately whispered to an Anbu:
"Go and inform Hokage-sama."
Immediately, he looked at Pakura sharply, and asked in a deep voice, "Why did you appear in Konohagakure?"
Pakura did not answer this question, instead she looked at Kisame and asked him for instructions: "Are we going to leave immediately, they seem to be delaying us on purpose, they must be waiting for more help to arrive."
Kisame smiled slightly, indicating that Pakura did not need to worry, then he took a step forward and spread his hands to Hiruzen Sarutobi and the others and said:
"We came to Konoha for tourism, isn't that okay? As for what you said about Kimimaro attacking Naruto Uzumaki, it was a complete misunderstanding. It was just the mutual attraction between the Nine-Tails Jinchurikis."
"Attracted? What do you mean?"
Sarutobi and the others felt confused when they heard that. The first to react was Jiraiya. His pupils magnified for a moment, and he pointed at Kimimaro, as he said in disbelief:
"That boy, could it be that he is the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki of Kirigakure?"
"Congratulations, you guessed it right."
Kisame pulled Kimimaro over, put his arms around the latter's shoulders, and introduced the them, "During the Nine-Tails attack, Kirigakure rescued Minato and Uzumaki Kusina. In return, Konoha gave up half of the Nine-Tails to Kirigakure. Now, that half of the Nine-Tails is in the child's body. By the way, the two kids with him are the three-tails Jinchuriki and Eight-Tails Jinchuriki."
As soon as these words came out, everyone in Konoha was once again shocked and stunned.
They never imagined that not only was Kimimaro a Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, even Haku and Karin, who didn't look so conspicuous, actually had a tailed beast sleeping inside them.
'Three Jinchurikis, what a terrifying force.'
After Jiraiya learned of this, he immediately looked at Naruto, and when he saw the latter standing there blankly, he couldn't help but feel worried.
"Naruto, are you alright?"
Kisame noticed Naruto's expression, so he continued:
"The two Nine-Tails Jinchuriki have already fought against each other under the arrangement of fate, and the result is that Naruto Uzumaki is vulnerable in front of Kimimaro. It seems that the rumor of the so-called son of prophecy is just a lie made up by Konoha. It's just a gimmick to deceive the world."
Jiraiya knew that the other party was attacking Naruto's self-confidence, so he stepped forward and retorted:
"Lie? Naruto will become the son of prophecy and play with the nine-tailed beasts. This is the future that the Great Toad Sage saw in his dream. For thousands of years, his prophecies has never been wrong. You should be very familiar about his recent prophecy, that is the death of the Fifth Mizukage Hoshigaki Kisame, which was predicted by the Great Toad Sage two years in advance, right?"
Hearing this, Kisame looked at Pakura and laughed.
"Ignorant idiots."
He sneered at Jiraiya and the others, and said to Pakura and Kimimaro, "Let's go."
Having said that, he turned to leave.
"Want to go? It's not that easy!"
It was naturally impossible for Sarutobi Hiruzen and Jiraiya to let them leave easily.
What follows is a real fight.
It's not over yet.
'Swish.'
At the same time Sarutobi and Jiraiya moved, a man wearing a white cloak and golden hair appeared in front of Kisame and others out of thin air, there by surrounding them.
"My friend from Kirigakure, since you're here, why rush to leave." The man said loudly, showing a smile that made people feel like they saw a spring breeze.
"Dad!"
When Naruto saw the man's appearance, he immediately cheered, his eyes filled with adoring stars.
"Hokage-sama is here!"
The Anbu at the scene couldn't help rejoicing, Namikaze Minato's position made them full of confidence in the next situation.
'Hokage-sama's nickname is Yellow Flash, and in the face of his Flying Thunder God Jutsu, no one can escape. Not even the famous Pakura of Scorch release.'
'Unless Tsunade came to Konoha in person, these people would definitely not be able to leave today.'
However, an unexpected scene for the people of Konoha happened right under their noses.
"I'm not interested in playing with you today."
Kisame glanced at Minato Namikaze and said indifferently, as he placed his hands on Pakura's and Kimimaro's shoulder.
The next second, with a swoosh, Pakura and Junma Lu disappeared in front of everyone, as if they were sucked into an unknown vortex-like space.
'Um?'
Seeing this, Minato Namikaze immediately attacked, he threw the Flying Thunder God Kunai in his hand, and arrived in front of Kisame.
Kisame stood there unmoving, letting the kunai pass through his face, and then flew out from the back of his head.
However, he was neither killed by the Kunai nor was he injured. He stood there, but as a phantom.
"Kamui?! Who are you, and why are you able to use the ability of Uchiha Obito's Mangekyo Sharingan?"
Namikaze Minato's eyes narrowed, as he recognised the Kamui that Kisame used.
And Kisame's response to this was,
'Swish!'
While blurring himself with his right eye, his left eye focused on Minato Namikaze's forehead.
In the next instant, Minato Namikaze felt as if something extremely dangerous is about to happen in his heart, and was about to retreat when he heard a sound.
'Kacha.'
The Konoha ninja guard on his forehead, under the action of an inexplicable force, instantly twisted into a lump of scrap metal and disappeared out of thin air.
"Hokage-sama!" Jiraiya and others exclaimed when they saw this scene and rushed forward.
Kisame, amidst the panic of the Konoha group, silently entered the vortex of space and disappeared without a trace.
"What happened just now?"
Minato Namikaze murmured, breaking out in a cold sweat, feeling that he had just escaped death in his heart.
The masked man's action just now was obviously a warning to him, not a real attack.
Namikaze Minato knew very well in his heart that since the other party could twist his forehead guard and make it disappear from his forehead, he could naturally do the same thing happen to other parts of his body.
'Who is this mysterious masked man? When did such a monstrous Shinobi appear in Kirigakure?'
Namikaze Minato and the others were puzzled.
