MM Racing Chapter 125 Melee
Chapter 125 Melee
Meanwhile, the Akatsuki members also reunited.
Apart from Deidara, who unleashed his full power, everyone else was in good condition.
—The battle might have been more intense if August hadn't been there.
Seeing that the people from Konoha had also appeared here, the Akatsuki members were caught in a dilemma, unsure whether to take advantage of the chaos to seize the Three-Tails or simply retreat.
All of this was observed by Black Zetsu, who was hiding underground not far away.
Looking at the Akatsuki members who were standing still, Black Zetsu, with his keen insight, could easily tell that they were having second thoughts.
These two-faced bastards!
Black Zetsu gritted his teeth inwardly.
We must get our hands on the Tailed Beast no matter what!
Fortunately, I had prepared a backup plan.
Fearing that the Akatsuki members might actually retreat if they were a little late, Black Zetsu decisively emerged from the ground.
The sudden appearance of a strange-looking guy, half black and half white, startled everyone in Konoha.
Even Eric slightly suppressed the smile on his face.
He didn't even notice this guy's appearance!
After Black Zetsu appeared, he decisively said to the Akatsuki members, "Pain's orders are to seize the Three-Tails at all costs!"
On the surface, the Akatsuki organization was Pain's personal fiefdom, so Black Zetsu naturally had to use Pain's name to issue orders.
Fortunately, Pain's strength and prestige still made him a formidable force within the Akatsuki organization.
After Black Zetsu's words, unless the group planned to betray Akatsuki, they had no choice but to obey and do their best.
After delivering the message, Black Zetsu immediately merged back into the earth and disappeared.
The next moment, Eli's attack blasted a large hole in the location where Black Zetsu was, but unfortunately Black Zetsu had already disappeared without a trace.
"You run really fast." The smile on Eric's face completely disappeared.
The arrival of Black Zetsu left the Akatsuki members with no choice but to leave.
They also knew very well that Konoha and Augustus wouldn't be foolish enough to start a fight and let the Akatsuki reap the benefits.
Deidara threw a bunch of clay spiders at the Konoha members.
The deafening explosion immediately kicked off the chaotic battle.
Jiraiya was the first to rush forward, dodging Deidara's bombs, when a hail of iron sand shot towards him from blind spots that obscured his vision.
"Iron Sand? The Third Kazekage?" Jiraiya stared grimly at Sasori, who was manipulating the puppet of the Third Kazekage.
These guys from Akatsuki are definitely not simple!
On the other side, Hidan and Kakuzu were also about to take action when they were stopped by Eri.
After exchanging a punch with Kakuzu's Earth Release-enhanced body, Eli tilted his head and smiled, "I heard you guys once fought against Lord Auguste? Let me see that too."
Kisame took out Samesho from behind his back, glanced around, and charged toward Might Guy, who had kicked him before.
Naruto charged straight at Sasuke.
"Sasuke! Come back to Konoha with me!"
Knowing that Sasuke wouldn't willingly return to Konoha, Naruto raised his hand and formed hand seals to unleash his most proficient technique, the Multiple Shadow Clone Technique.
In an instant, hundreds of shadow clones of Naruto appeared around him, and many even ran into the fighting range of others.
Such a large number of shadow clones is a rare sight even in the ninja world.
Even Kisame Hoshigaki, known as the "Tailless Tailed Beast," wouldn't waste chakra creating clones like that.
The next moment, all the shadow clones rushed towards Sasuke at the same time.
"Hmph, the same old tricks, Naruto."
The three tomoe in Sasuke's eyes slowly rotated, and the next moment, the Chidori Stream burst forth, instantly shattering all the shadow clones that were close at hand.
Watching Sasuke constantly weave through Naruto's shadow clones, causing Naruto's clones to crumble wherever he goes, Kakashi couldn't help but sigh inwardly. Clearly, Sasuke's strength was improving faster than Naruto's and Sakura's.
Kakashi, who was about to step forward to help, suddenly changed his expression and quickly retreated while carrying Naruto's true form beside him.
The next moment, sharp white bones suddenly surged up from the ground where they had been.
Then, bones continued to spread from the ground, forming a forest of bones in the blink of an eye, almost completely annihilating Naruto's shadow clones.
Seeing this familiar scene, Lee looked at Kimimaro seriously and said, "You seem to have gotten stronger, Kimimaro."
Looking at the Konoha ninja who had almost died at his hands, Kimimaro, who was kneeling on the ground, raised his hands from the ground and stood up, saying, "I really didn't expect that I would have to fight you again this time."
Having experience fighting Kimimaro, Lee quickly rushed forward, but after a few exchanges, he was at a disadvantage.
Looking at Kimimaro, whose body seemed completely unaffected after unleashing that scale of Shikotsumyaku, Lee was somewhat surprised: "It seems that not only did you survive, but you can also use Shikotsumyaku freely now."
“That’s right,” Kimimaro said, “but this time, there won’t be a One-Tailed Jinchuriki to save you.”
As he spoke, Kimimaro flashed forward and attacked Lee.
The bone knife was blocked by Kakashi's kunai, and the two exchanged dozens of blows in no time.
Meanwhile, Neji and Tenten wanted to go and help, but Kakashi stopped them: "Go help Naruto!"
"Leave this to me and Kakashi-sensei!" With that, Lee rushed forward.
Neji and his Gentle Fist and Tenten's ninjutsu were indeed at a disadvantage against Kimimaro.
Having figured this out, the two turned and headed towards the direction where Naruto and Sasuke were fighting.
Sasuke and Naruto, who was clad in the Nine-Tails' chakra cloak, were locked in combat. The orange-red chakra cloak continuously transformed into the shape of arms, reaching out to grab Sasuke.
However, in Sasuke's Sharingan, Naruto's actions were entirely within his expectations.
At one point during their close-quarters combat, Sasuke suddenly raised his hand and reached for the Nine-Tails above Naruto's head.
Nine-Tailed Fox dodged backward, but its body suddenly froze.
The next moment, Sasuke took the initiative to retreat, but in his hand he was clutching a Nine-Tails whose pupils reflected the tomoe.
"Kurama!" Naruto called out anxiously, seeing the Nine-Tails motionless in Sasuke's hand.
Seeing Naruto's nervous expression, Sasuke sneered, "As expected, the Sharingan is effective against the Nine-Tails. No wonder Konoha asked me to team up with you."
The next moment, Sasuke suddenly jumped up, dodging Sakura's punch that came from the side.
He learned Tsunade's monstrous strength and instantly smashed a huge crater in the ground.
A look of surprise flashed across Sasuke's eyes, and then Neji and Tenten launched their attack from the side.
Even with Kurama (the Nine-Tails) in his hand, Sasuke still managed to handle the attacks of the group with ease.
Holding the Nine-Tails tightly in his hand, Sasuke said coldly, "Since we've met here, I'll take the Nine-Tails into my possession as well!"
The next moment, just like what Eri had done in Konoha, the purple chakra giant reappeared, sending Neji and the others flying with one hand, and grabbing straight at Naruto with the other.
