Tiny bits of sunlight leaked through the lush foliage and fell mottled on the grass.
Itachi Uchiha stood in the beams of sunlight, nervously staring at Waterstop and Little South not far away.
"Worried?"
Cold Wind's Shadow Doppelganger stood aside with his arms crossed and said calmly, "You have to have confidence in yourself, in Waterstop, and even more so in me!"
"Captain …"
Itachi Uchiha tilted his head, his face under the mask showing a rare touch of shyness, and whispered, "Thank you."
When Waterstop defected and left the village to carry out a mission, Itachi Uchiha entered the Dark Operation to investigate. During this period, he had a lot of friction with Cold Wind, and gradually it evolved into a situation where they didn't have any contact at all. Thinking of the past, Itachi Uchiha inexplicably felt guilty towards Cold Wind.
Cold Wind's Shadow Doppelganger smiled confidently, and then looked at Tenzō and the rest of his subordinates behind him, saying, "If a fight breaks out later, don't interfere."
Although Little South's combat power wasn't at the peak of Akatsuki's combat power, she still had a huge advantage against his background subordinates. Moreover, her paper style was good at group attacks. If it was a chaotic battle, it would be extremely disadvantageous for his subordinates!
"Yes!"
Tenzō and the others responded loudly.
For them, with Cold Wind and Waterstop, the two captain and vice-captain in front, there was indeed no need for them to do anything.
At this moment!
Whoosh whoosh whoosh …
Under the mottled sunlight, pieces of paper fluttered like snowflakes, surrounding and spreading around Little South, forcing Waterstop back step by step.
Was the negotiation broken down, and a fight was about to break out?
Cold Wind's Shadow Doppelganger took out an Explosive Talisman without saying a word, pressed on the back with his right hand, and quietly engraved the Flying Thunder God Technique.
Itachi Uchiha next to him narrowed his eyes. Using an Explosive Talisman at the beginning? As expected of the captain …
Bang!
With a soft sound, Cold Wind's Shadow Doppelganger turned into smoke and dissipated. Only an Explosive Charm slowly floated down.
… Grow?
(`n ́)
Itachi Uchiha looked at the Explosive Talisman that had fallen to the ground. He immediately felt bad!
After all this time, you're just a shadow clone?!
You even told me to believe in myself, Big Brother Waterstop, and you. You even told me not to interfere. You, you, you …
Itachi Uchiha's chest heaved up and down. He felt like there was a lump of air that he could neither swallow nor spit out.
"Captain Husky is still the same as before …"
"That's right. In the past, when Captain Kakashi was leading a team on a mission, he always sent his shadow clone to do nothing. Now that it's his turn to be the captain, he hasn't changed at all."
"Looks like we'll have to trouble Vice-Captain Waterstop this time."
"By the way, are we really not going to make a move later?"
"I'm more worried that this Explosive Talisman will suddenly explode."
Listening to his companions' nagging, Itachi Uchiha became more and more frustrated. He quickly focused all his attention on Waterstop.
"Little South!"
Waterstop retreated step by step. The three black magatama in his eyes were already slowly spinning. "Have you thought it through?"
"I have to try no matter what!"
Little South glanced at Cold Wind, who had turned into smoke and dissipated. His mind raced. Moonlight Cold Wind might not be here, but his real body must have received the Shadow Doppelganger's memory and rushed here. With the speed of his Flying Thunder God, he might be able to get here in an instant!
Waterstop and Little South had the same idea. They both thought that Cold Wind would only need a few seconds to get here.
Seconds passed, but Cold Wind still did not appear at the place where the Shadow Doppelganger had dissipated.
Little South breathed a sigh of relief. Moonlight Cold Wind won't be able to come here immediately. I have time to do something!
Shisui felt that he had been betrayed, and his mood was slightly uncomfortable and uneasy.
"Waterstop, Uchiha Obsidian is a Wood Leaf S-class defector ninja. Unless he is a spy like you, why are you hiding his information!" Little South slowly flew into the air. Chakra was surging, and the paper around his body immediately fluttered in the air. The sharp sound of breaking air was continuous, piercing the eardrums.
Waterstop couldn't say the reason, because this is not only related to Uchiha Obsidian, but also related to the Mangekyou Sharingan and the biggest secret of the Uchiha clan!
Since they couldn't come to an agreement, there was only one way left.
Waterstop's face was solemn. "If you want to do it, just try."
"Maybe I'm not your opponent, but that guy over there should be very important to you."
Little South looked at Itachi Uchiha.
Although this kid was wearing a mask and couldn't see his face, Little South could see the indescribable concern in his eyes!
Waterstop frowned and said coldly, "I advise you not to do anything to him."
After Waterstop came back, he also exchanged pointers with Itachi Uchiha several times. At that time, he was amazed by his little brother's amazing growth rate, and this was under the premise that Itachi Uchiha's Mangekyou Sharingan was sealed by his Genjutsu.
If Little South attacked Waterstop, if he was at a disadvantage, then he would definitely be beaten. But if he was at an advantage, once the pressure was too much, he would still be beaten by Waterstop!
And …
With two pairs of Mangekyou Sharingan, even if the Akatsuki leader Pain came, Waterstop was confident to fight!
However, looking at the slightly blurred figure of Little South in mid-air, Waterstop sincerely hoped that Itachi wouldn't awaken his Mangekyou Sharingan.
"Is that so?"
Little South looked at Itachi Uchiha, then glanced at the others, while using perception ninjutsu.
'There is no Moonlight Cold Wind's Chakra nearby, I still have time!'
After thinking, Little South decisively flew into the sky.
Paper Dance – Paper Rain!
Whoosh! Whoosh!
Whoosh! Whoosh! The pieces of paper in the sky instantly turned into sharp 'blades' under the infusion of Chakra, like a rainstorm of pear blossoms pouring down on Itachi Uchiha.
Wherever the paper passed, the branches and leaves of the trees were cut in half, and the broken branches and leaves fell like snowflakes.
"This isn't good!"
Standing behind Itachi Uchiha, Tenzō didn't want to make a move, but the attack range was too large, covering all the members of their team, so he had no choice but to make a move!
"Mokuton: Wooden Wall!" Tenzō helplessly clapped his hands on the ground.
Bang … Bang … Bang …
Rows of sturdy wooden sticks abruptly burst out from both sides of the ground and gathered together like a shield, forming a semicircle that blocked the rain of paper outside.
Ton … Ton … Ton … Ton … Ton …
In the dull sound of impact, the pieces of paper shot deep into the wooden wall like bullets, but after all, Mokuton is Mokuton, even if it's only one-fifth of the power of the first generation Mokuton, it's not easy for the paper to penetrate.
In the blink of an eye, the wooden wall was full of paper pieces, and from a distance it looked like a white hedgehog.
"… Mokuton?" Little South exclaimed.
Even with her cold personality, when she suddenly saw the legendary Mokuton Kekkei Genkai, she couldn't suppress the waves in her heart.
Is the forest in the desert of the Wind Country created by the ninja who just attacked?
Is this person a descendant of the first generation Naruto, or is he himself?
Is this the reason why Waterstop advised her not to make a move?
Little South's mind was in turmoil, all kinds of thoughts came one after another, disturbing her.
…
At the same time.
Twenty miles away from here.
Cold Wind's figure was galloping towards a hundred-meter-high hill.
In fact, when his shadow clone dissipated, Cold Wind was already on the Wood Leaf, but because he was two hundred miles away from Waterstop's location, it was beyond the range of Flying Thunder God in Sage Mode. Helpless, Cold Wind had to transfer from the nearby 'network', which took about a second or two more!
But when he was transferring, Cold Wind suddenly thought of something.
Little South is here, then will Nagato come?
If only Little South is here, then Waterstop, Itachi, Tenzō, and the rest of his subordinates are enough to deal with her.
If Nagato also comes, then he will definitely stay in a higher place nearby, so that it is convenient to control the Six Paths of Pain.
Thinking of this, Cold Wind decisively took out the map and looked at it. He found that there are many hills in the area where Waterstop is located, and the closest one to them is the one in front of them!
Cold Wind swung his two arms and stepped on the branches and leaves like lightning. Seeing that the hillside was getting closer and closer, suddenly a sense of alertness hit Cold Wind's heart.
He looked up and saw that under the blue sky, black spots as fine as gravel were falling toward him at high speed.
What is that?
Cold Wind squinted, the black spots were getting closer and bigger, gradually revealing their true shape.
Missiles?
Cold Wind's face twitched, and he forced himself to suppress the strange feeling in his heart, then he took out the Kusanagi sword and replaced the Chakra in his body with the Wind Attribute.
"Wood Leaf Style – Wind Slayer!"
Cold Wind's figure flashed a hundred meters away, and at the same time, he slashed the sword in his hand into the sky.
Buzz …
In the strange vibration, a green sword energy visible to the naked eye came out of the Kusanagi sword, and in the blink of an eye, it collided with the dozens of missiles falling from the sky!
Boom boom boom boom …
In the violent explosion, a circle of turbulent air waves chaotically collided, and hot flames swept in all directions.
Cold Wind's mouth twitched.
It seems that you are really here, Nagato!
Cold Wind threw a Flying Thunder God Kunai, then turned into a shadow and rushed to the hillside.
