Now that he had learned of the casualties among the Akatsuki members, Pain pondered for a moment, his expression grave, and asked in a deep voice, "Deidara chose to self-destruct, but what about the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki? How is he? Is he injured?"
Upon hearing this, everyone's attention once again focused on Black Zetsu.
In their view, since Deidara chose to self-destruct, they couldn't let it go to waste, could they?
Not to mention perishing together with the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki.
But at the very least... you'll have to shed a layer of skin, right?
Black Zetsu shook his head as everyone's eyes turned to him, saying with a helpless expression, "When Deidara self-destructed, the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki had already flown into the sky."
Upon hearing this, everyone's expression turned to astonishment.
But they recovered quickly.
On one of the Gedo Mazo's fingers, Obito recovered from his shock, and the face beneath his orange vortex mask gradually darkened, as if water could drip from it.
At this moment, he cursed inwardly that Deidara's self-destruction had achieved no effect whatsoever.
Isn't this just blatant air pollution?!
What a waste of time and effort!
Obito took a deep breath, then asked in a somber tone, "Black Zetsu, where's Kakashi? Was he affected by the explosion?"
Upon hearing this, Black Zetsu gave Obito a deep look before shaking his head and replying, "No, when Deidara self-destructed, the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki not only flew into the sky himself, but he also took Kakashi and his group into the sky."
When Obito learned that Kakashi was unharmed, his expression under his mask changed slightly, and it was unclear what he was thinking.
Just then, Pain, the leader of the Akatsuki, looked around at everyone and said with a solemn expression:
"This discussion is now concluded."
"The process of sealing the one-tailed beast into the Gedo Mazo is nearing completion."
"We must seal the One-Tail before the Nine-Tails' jinchūriki arrives!!!"
"Did you all hear me clearly?"
Everyone present nodded in agreement.
Immediately, everyone closed their eyes and focused their attention on sealing the tailed beast.
at the same time.
In a dense forest.
At this moment, four figures were moving out of the dense forest.
"Naruto, how much further are we?"
Temari leaped up and came to the blond boy's side, asking him a question.
"We'll be there soon if we cross this dense forest," Naruto replied, glancing at the end of the forest.
"Okay, sure." Temari nodded repeatedly.
After a ten-minute journey, they were getting closer and closer to the end of the dense forest.
at last! ! !
After another ten minutes of travel, the group successfully reached the end.
Upon reaching the edge of the dense forest, a sheer cliff, twenty meters deep, came into view.
At that moment, Naruto pointed to a cave entrance blocked by a boulder below the cliff and said, "Hey, Gaara is inside that cave."
Chiyo and Temari nodded repeatedly upon hearing this.
Meanwhile, Kakashi squinted at the boulder blocking the cave entrance.
His expression hardened when he saw several unfamiliar runes carved on the surface of the boulder.
After thinking for a while, he suddenly realized something and said with a sudden realization, "No wonder I couldn't detect even the slightest bit of it. It turns out that a barrier that blocks chakra has been set up on this boulder."
Actually.
Throughout his journey, Kakashi never forgot to sense Gaara's chakra.
Unfortunately.
He couldn't detect Gaara's chakra aura at all.
even--
He not only secretly suspected it.
Even if one's perception is weak and one's range of perception is not as abnormal as Naruto's, it's impossible that one can't sense anything at all, right?
Just like even the smallest pebble thrown into a lake will still make a splash, right?
Even if the splash is very small, so small that it is almost imperceptible to the naked eye, at least there is still a splash, right?
Kakashi's chakra sensing was like a pebble thrown into a black hole from which there was no way to turn back—it made absolutely no sound!
At this moment, Chiyo, standing beside Kakashi, narrowed her cloudy old eyes slightly and then said:
"That's right, not only was a barrier set up to block chakra, but a barrier was also set up to protect the cave."
"A double barrier, huh?"
Upon hearing this, Kakashi nodded repeatedly, his gaze fixed on the boulder in front of him, and said, "The key to breaking the barrier must be nearby. As long as we find the key, we can definitely break the barrier!"
“Yes!” Chiyo and Temari nodded immediately.
however--
Just as the three were preparing to find the weak point of the barrier, Naruto, who hadn't spoken until now, yawned and waved his hand, saying, "Hey, your method of breaking it is too slow. Actually, there's another way to break it."
Kakashi: "???"
"???"
"???"
All three of them were stunned.
Naruto grinned as he looked at the three bewildered expressions on their faces.
Then, he raised his arm and extended his index finger.
The next moment, a golden light condensed at his fingertips.
"call out!!!"
Golden light instantly shot out from his fingertips.
next second.
A deafening booming sound rang out.
The giant stone sphere blocking the entrance to the cave instantly crumbled and disintegrated!
Countless stones of varying sizes flew everywhere.
Kakashi, Temari, and Chiyo all smirked at the sight.
"this..."
Everyone took a deep breath and sighed inwardly.
really!
Under absolute strength.
No matter how many layers of protection were placed on the boulder, it was all useless!
Chapter 153 Kakashi's Narcissism? Obito Speechless: I know you?
“Boom, boom!!!!”
A huge explosion rang out, like a thunderclap, echoing throughout the entire cave.
Not only that.
The entire cave shook several times, as if it were about to collapse at any moment!
Inside the cave.
Seven Akatsuki members stood atop the ten hideous fingers of the Gedo Mazo.
Pain, the leader of the Akatsuki organization.
Obito, Black Zetsu, Itachi Uchiha, Kisame Hoshigaki, Hidan, and Kakuzu.
The seven people opened their eyes abruptly after hearing the sudden explosion.
They all turned their heads at the same time, looking out of the cave.
At that moment, Kakashi and his group of four walked in from outside the cave.
The seven members of Akatsuki only glanced casually at Kakashi, Temari, and Chiyo.
Immediately, they all ignored him and their gazes finally fell on Naruto, who looked completely calm and collected.
The Akatsuki members' expressions changed constantly, each harboring their own secret plans.
at the same time.
After Kakashi and his group rushed into the cave, the four of them also took stock of the seven members of the Akatsuki organization.
Kakashi first glanced at Pain, then looked in the direction of Itachi Uchiha, and then looked at the others.
When his gaze finally landed on the man in the orange swirling mask, his eyes narrowed, and his mind raced.
Back when Pain attacked Konoha, it was this masked Akatsuki member in front of me who rescued Pain, Hidan, and Kakuzu.
When Kakashi first met the masked man, his intuition told him that the man felt very familiar!
That extremely familiar feeling was as if I had known the other person for a very, very long time.
Kakashi found it increasingly familiar the more he looked at it.
Finally, he couldn't help but ask Obito, "I...we knew each other before?"
As soon as these words came out.
It instantly attracted the attention of everyone present.
