(Bonus chapter)

"What happened?" ​​

"Akatsuki organization! Akatsuki is coming, Akatsuki is invading!"

"What? So, should we move? Konoha is too dangerous too. I blame you! Saying Konoha is safe and tricking us into coming here."

"Me?! Stop blaming me! Who would have thought the Konoha, which was obviously super strong, would also be overly destructive? "

In the house, a couple of civilians shivered and took shelter. From time to time, a burst of running footsteps sounded on their roof.

That was Konoha's shinobis, assembling rapidly.

"What about Rasa?"

The Third Tsuchikage, Ōnoki, solemnly floated in mid-air. Behind him was a group of skilled shinobis from Iwagakure.

'What a good scheme, Sarutobi Hiruzen!'

Ōnoki 's mind was blazing. He didn't see Sarutobi Hiruzen's setup until this moment.

'A good scheme!'

Now it seemed that the reason why Sarutobi Hiruzen had advanced Konoha's Chūnin exam, on the one hand, as he said, was to train the new strength of the shinobi village and not let them get too comfortable.

After all, at their current age, the battlefield was at least a little over ten years ago.

On the other hand, this was Sarutobi Hiruzen's baiting plan.

He knew that Akatsuki was most likely to attack Konohagakure first, so he wanted to draw Akatsuki out through the Chūnin exam while five shinobi villages were gathered.

Unexpectedly, Akatsuki really took the bait.

Ōnoki grunted coldly, ready to fight Akatsuki off, then find Sarutobi Hiruzen to cause trouble.

'How dare you treat me as a tool!'

"Kazekage-sama ordered us to help Konoha fight first. He will arrive later." Maki heard Ōnoki's follow-up question and spoke without humbleness.

Now, Suna and Oto were ready to attack, just waiting for the Kazekage to succeed.

With Konoha without a leader and Akatsuki and other shinobi villages working together, Konoha would be destroyed in one fell swoop.

It's just ...

A trace of worry flashed in Maki's heart: 'At this time, did Kazekage-sama make the right choice?'

...

"You all deserve to die!"

Hidan ran between the members of Konoha's Root, one by one. The Retractable Spear in his hand penetrated the head of a shinobi, and the mask on the person's face shattered open. Without looking, Hidan charged straight for the others.

Hidan's heart was full of anger. He finally found a Jashinists, but Konoha killed her!

He wanted to kill them all!

He ignored the opponent's sharp blade thrusting at him, allowing it to strike his black as iron red cloud robe, emitting a dang-dang sound.

The next moment, Hidan swept the Retractable Spear in his hand, and the guy directly died.

"Fire Release: Searing Migraine!"

Kakuzu instantly arrived and sliced a shinobi's neck. Then, he controlled his Earth Grudge doppelganger to spit out a Fire Release, killing a shinobi who was about to attack Hidan from behind.

"Hidan, it's time to go!"

Kakuzu had no religion and wasn't a believer. He couldn't appreciate Hidan's anger at the moment.

He didn't even understand what Hidan was so mad about!

'Isn't it just a woman?'

'What for?'

"Lightning Release: Double Lariat!"

A hoarse, low roar sounded, making Kakuzu pale. 'That jutsu...!'

'There was no mistaking it. It could only be that person!'

'The Raikage!'

Kakuzu looked in the direction of the voice, his Intermediate Armament Haki was opened, and his whole person instantly looked dark. At the next moment, a figure with Lightning Release chakra gathered all over his body rapidly rushed in.

The thunder roared, and after only one-tenth of a breath, the other person had already rushed to Kakuzu. His elbow was raised, directly hitting Kakuzu's face.

Boom!

Kakuzu didn't have any chance to react at all and was directly prevented from falling over.

Behind him, a broken mask fell out of Kakuzu's red robe, and Kakuzu's body shook, standing there as if nothing was wrong.

Kakuzu looked pale and looked at the broken mask at his feet. He didn't expect to defend himself with Armament Haki but was still killed by a blow.

'This is horrible!'

'Was the Fourth Raikage that powerful?'

Kakuzu's eyes rolled and absorbed the fire-attributed doppelganger behind him into his body, and only after doing so did he feel a little more at ease.

At the same time, the Fourth Raikage had appeared in front of Hidan and jumped gently above Hidan's head.

Lighting chakra converged on his feet, splitting fiercely from top to bottom.

"Guillotine Drop!"

Bang!

At this moment, Hidan's whole body also became pitch-black. His hand was holding the Retractable Spear to block the Fourth Raikage's foot.

The Retractable Spear was also covered by Hidan with the Armament Haki. Otherwise, it will be kicked to pieces by this Raikage.

Crrrack ... Crack crack!

The sounds from the Retractable Spear make Hidan's expression change. Looking at the cracking Retractable Spear, Hidan looked angry.

The retractable spear suddenly shattered. Hidan advanced, ignoring Raikage's slamming fist. The tip of the broken spear stabbed the Fourth Raikage in the eye.

Hidan's mouth opened, ready to catch the blood spurting out directly with his mouth. Then he would use the curse to kill the Fourth Raikage instantly.

"Elbow Bolt!"

Looking at Hidan's attack, Ay didn't dodge. He gathered chakra in his elbow and slammed it towards Hidan's chest.

The punch, which was obviously thrown afterward, landed directly on Hidan's body.

Hidan's Armament Haki was directly smashed, and the tremendous force directly threw him back.

"Tsk, tsk, tsk, if it isn't Hidan and Kakuzu? Why are they so miserable?"

Deidara's cheeky voice came from behind Hidan, and in the next moment, Hidan felt a pair of palms against his back, trying to counteract the force on him.

And then ...

Hidan felt the person behind him flying backward while carrying him ....

"Shit! Why are you so aggressive, Sasori? Sasori, Help me quickly!"

Boom!

At Hidan's scream, a puppet appeared from nowhere behind the two, directly stopping them.

"That Deidara kid?"

Ōnoki drifted away, looking at Deidara and Hidan, who fell to the ground, his face changed slightly.

It seemed that Akatsuki sent more than just Hidan and Kakuzu this time!

Ōnoki looked at the chakra line linking to the puppet, his expression changed. He looked up, and his face instantly shifted dramatically.

When everyone saw Ōnoki's demeanor and looked up, they suddenly paled and acted even worse than Ōnoki.

"How... how is this possible!?"

Above the crowd, a handsome boy wearing a red robe and orange hair quietly floated in the sky. If a few of them came, then so be it. But he was surrounded by hundreds of puppets wearing red robes.

These puppets were filled with all kinds of weapons, and chakra lines were connected to the central person's body, filled with the aura of depression.

"Performance of a Hundred Puppets! It's Sasori!"

Chiyo slowly emerged from the crowd. She just heard Ōnoki's cry. Because she didn't know where Rasa had gone and was worried that Suna's Maki wasn't enough for this occasion, she came out. Unexpectedly, she saw Sasori.

"The only way to break Performance of a Hundred Puppets, besides killing the manipulator, is to cut the other party's connection to the puppets in the first place."

As soon as Chiyo's words were spoken, Terumī Mei blatantly attacked. Her bloodline limit, Lava Release, could cover all the puppets in a wide range. Moreover, her Melting Apparition Technique was very corrosive, which could disconnect the chakra line.

"Lava Release: Melting Apparition Technique!"

Terumī Mei took a large breath and spat out a large amount of acid from her mouth in the next moment, directly coating the puppets in the sky.

Whoo!

A figure in a red cloud robe flashed from the many puppets, looked at the incoming acid, opened his mouth, and ejected a large amount of water, enough to form a lake.

"Water Release: Water Colliding Wave!"

The attacker was none other than Hoshigaki Kisame, who had been hiding among the puppets to protect Sasori's puppets.

"Hahahaha. Shinobis, are you amazed?"

"I can fly!"

Deidara laughed out loud. His feet moved, and his body suddenly rose from the ground, as if stepping on an invisible ladder, and ran up in a fluid motion.

Seeing this, Hidan and Kakuzu, not caring about their wounds, initiated Sky Walk and went straight up into the air.

Below, Konoha and the countless shinobis from the five major shinobi villages looked pale as they looked up at the terrifying scene above.

Five Akatsuki members wearing red robes were surrounded by hundreds of red-robed puppets as if five demon lords were floating above Konohagakure with a group of evil spirits ready to bind their souls.

Suddenly, everyone looked to the other side of the sky, where several figures were whizzing by.

They walked in the air at a strange pace, and the figure at the end was carrying a man on his back!

That's not all. The figure in front of these people, with one hand in the sky, controlling a 10-meter-wide black ball in his hand, approached.

They were so fast that they arrived on top of the crowd in the blink of an eye.

After seeing their faces, everyone felt as if they were plunged into an ice cave.

Seeing their cold eyes, some people had started to go weak in the legs and fell to the ground in fear.

Some even pissed themselves.

"Who is it, who is bullying my Akatsuki members?"
