Grinning Man was terrified, his mind blank. Yamazaki was much stronger than him, yet he had been knocked unconscious by two punches from the little girl.
What kind of monster was he facing?
So, when Naraku provoked him, he didn't say a word. In fact, he was already planning his escape.
"How dare you blaspheme Lord Jashin! You heretic, I will pass judgment on you!"
While Grinning Man remained silent, the young man behind him, Hidan, was not pleased. He roared, looking as if he wanted to tear Naraku to pieces.
Naraku didn't bother wasting any more words on them.
Once she killed Hidan and captured the not-so-devout Grinning Man, she could probably find out whether or not they had captured Hashirama Senju.
"Fire Style: Great Fireball Technique!"
Uchiha Naraku also upheld the fine tradition of the Uchiha clan, solving problems with a Great Fireball first.
Faced with the giant fireball, which was over ten meters in diameter, the Grinning Man decisively dodged to the left, while Hidan was in a much worse position.
He was only nine years old right now and hadn't even graduated from the ninja academy.
Although he was also trying his best to dodge, he was still engulfed by the super-sized fireball because he was too slow.
From then on, Hidan was dead!
This was Naraku's first kill of a character in the Naruto world, but it definitely wouldn't be his last.
The Two-Tomoe Sharingan appeared and stared fixedly at the Grinning Man who was trying to escape.
"Subdue Others!"
Naraku's speed reached its limit.
In an instant, Naraku was behind the Grinning Man!
The Grinning Man was obviously weaker than both Lead Plate and Yamazaki. He didn't even have time to dodge before Naraku, who had activated Battlefield Passion, unleashed a flurry of blows.
"Don't kill me! Don't kill me! Didn't you have questions for me? I'm willing to tell you anything!"
The Grinning Man was genuinely terrified. After only six punches, he already felt like his insides had been turned upside down.
If Naraku hit him a few more times, would he even survive?
"Alright, you're smart!"
Naraku smiled innocently. Although the scene was beautiful, in the Grinning Man's eyes, Naraku was now more terrifying than a demon.
"Did you catch…"
Before Naraku could finish speaking, he suddenly felt something was wrong with his body.
Suddenly, many white, clay-like, expanding substances began to emerge from various parts of Naraku's body!
Damn, this is… ?
Naraku quickly clasped his hands together, but in the blink of an eye, the white expanding substance rapidly covered Naraku's upper body, tightly sticking him in place!
I can't move! This is White Zetsu's Spore Technique!
Damn it, even those at the Five Kage level would have trouble breaking free from this stuff. Now, my base stats aren't even at the level of an elite Jonin, let alone a Kage.
What do I do?
Naraku was currently unable to move. The white mass was still shifting and changing. Grinning Man, who was lying on the ground, was completely bewildered. What was going on? Could it be that he'd actually gotten lucky?
He didn't have to die? Then what was he waiting for? Run!
The white mass on Naraku's body rapidly changed, forming the head of a White Zetsu. He howled, staring greedily at Naraku's face:
"Oho! Oho! Got you, Naraku-chan!"
The White Zetsu moved his face closer, as if wanting to get a good look at Naraku's appearance.
Maybe he should also lick him?
"Get lost!"
A burst of flames erupted, instantly burning the White Zetsu's head to nothing.
However, it was useless. Another White Zetsu head popped up next to Naraku's smooth legs.
While Naraku and the White Zetsu were entangled, the Grinning Man had quietly run five or six meters away, taking advantage of their distraction.
But just as he was about to sprint away, he suddenly realized a problem.
Wait a minute, why am I running? That little girl is already immobilized.
What do I have to be afraid of? I can just turn around and sacrifice this little girl to Lord Jashin.
Wouldn't that allow me to redeem myself?
Thinking of this, the Grinning Man turned around and bared his teeth at Naraku again.
"I didn't expect that in less than a minute, our situations would be reversed, hahahaha, watch me sacrifice you to Lord Jashin!"
Grinning Man pulled the Black Spear from his body and ran to Naraku's side.
He didn't know what exactly White Zetsu was, and of course, he didn't dare to offend it, so he plunged the Black Spear into Naraku's exposed thigh.
"Got it!"
Grinning Man, having succeeded in his attack, didn't dare to stay in place, fearing something might change. He instantly ran thirty meters away.
Naraku frowned, his eyebrows furrowing. He steeled his heart, thinking that if this continued, he would truly die here.
He couldn't worry about so much anymore!
Naraku, using his hands clasped together, once again controlled his chakra to transform into flames.
Then, he spewed it towards his own hands!
As the saying goes, water and fire are merciless, and this continuous burning doesn't distinguish friend from foe.
Both the White Zetsu and Naraku's hands were engulfed in the flames.
The water energy was continuously consumed, and in the blink of an eye, 63 points of energy had been spent.
Of course, the water energy wasn't wasted; Naraku had successfully escaped!
But as Naraku broke free from the White Zetsu's binding, the Grinning Man on the other side had already prepared all the curses!
He stood within the blood-red symbol, sneering at Naraku:
"Die! Die for me!"
Itachi Uchiha took the lead, charging furiously toward Naraku.
Suddenly, the treeline ended, and the view widened.
Naraku's small figure finally appeared in Itachi's sight.
Naraku was still alive!
Itachi breathed a sigh of relief, but then he heard a mad roar:
"Die! Die for me!"
Itachi was shocked. He looked further away and saw a man with black and white stripes standing inside a blood-red symbol. He had already aimed the tip of the Black Spear at his own chest.
"No! Don't! Stop it!"
Itachi roared in fury, but he couldn't change anything. The man continued, heedless, and plunged the Black Spear into his own left chest.
Blood sprayed everywhere!
Both Naraku and the man's heart area gushed with blood!
"..."
Itachi Uchiha's eyes narrowed sharply! As if he couldn't accept the scene before him!
How could this be? Why?
This wasn't real! This wasn't real!!
Two streams of bloody tears flowed down, and Itachi Uchiha's black pupils began to undergo a tremendous transformation!
