Chapter 85 Akatsuki Organization Attacks
🕑 Added 2025-10-28 12:31:15 +0000 UTCHearing Yugao’s words, Naruto stopped moving his hands.
He noticed her intention, his expression turning slightly cold as he said clearly, “That trick might work on me once—but only once.”
Yugao understood and apologized guiltily. “I’m sorry, little Naruto.”
Naruto waved his hand dismissively. “Let’s go.”
…
Two Anbu left Sunagakure.
In the Kazekage’s office, Rasa was secretly pleased.
If Naruto broke ties with Konoha, wouldn’t Sunagakure have a chance to take him in?
Rasa was in a rather good mood.
During this off-duty period, Temari couldn’t keep her thoughts to herself.
When she saw Konoha’s Anbu leaving, she immediately stood up and asked, “Lord Kazekage, if Naruto leaves Konoha, what will happen to my engagement with him?”
Rasa replied calmly, without changing his expression, “Of course, it won’t be canceled.”
“Phew” Temari let out a sigh of relief. “That’s good, then”
Seeing Temari’s reaction, Rasa felt puzzled.
It wasn’t like no one had pursued Temari before, but she had always ignored those handsome young men.
Yet within just a few days, she’d become attached to Naruto.
Looking at her now, if he dared to interfere with her and Naruto, she’d probably enter a rebellious phase.
At that moment, an explosion suddenly echoed through Sunagakure.
Rasa’s expression darkened. “Did Shukaku break his seal again?”
Naruto frowned slightly. “Is he really as strong as Kurama said?”
Three layers of the Eight Trigrams Seal! Three layers!
What kind of idiot Shukaku was—how could he have broken free so quickly?
Impossible! Absolutely impossible!
Kurama’s deep voice echoed from within Naruto. “Naruto, it’s not Shukaku. It’s a group of guys in robes—they attacked Shukaku’s Jinchūriki.”
After hearing Kurama’s words, the three of them looked at each other, then leaped out of the window and landed on the rooftop.
Many Sand Shinobi were gathering below.
Black figures dashed across rooftops—ninjas rushing toward the explosion.
It seemed that Sunagakure’s residents had already grown used to these kinds of disturbances.
Rasa quickly assessed the situation, sensing the chakra fluctuations and power of the ninjutsu. His heart sank slightly.
Raising his hand, he condensed gold dust and ordered, “You two stay here. Don’t run around!”
Without waiting for Naruto or Temari to respond, he took off, flying through the air with his sand gold.
Naruto turned to Temari. “Stay here. Don’t run around.”
Temari blinked. “?”
Before she could react, Naruto shot into the sky—faster than Rasa.
Temari’s lips twitched slightly as she muttered, “What’s wrong with those two? Do they think I’m useless or something?”
Before she could finish complaining, a deafening explosion rocked the distance.
A towering flame erupted into the sky.
The destructive power of the ninjutsu leveled everything within tens of meters.
Temari took a deep breath. “This... I guess I really am useless...”
“Damn it!” she cursed under her breath. “If I had already mastered that new technique, I wouldn’t be so helpless right now!”
…
At the site of the explosion—
Deidara was carrying the unconscious Gaara over his shoulder, frowning. “What the hell is with this kid?”
“I blew him half to death, and he’s still just lying there sleeping! Huh?!”
“How disrespectful to my art! Damn it! Hmph!”
Sasori, hidden among his puppets, replied coolly, “Shut up, Deidara. That’s not art.”
Deidara snorted disdainfully. “Don’t lecture me!”
Not far away, Kisame rested Samehada on his shoulder, watching the two finish their mission. “They actually completed it that easily, huh? Next target—Itachi.”
At that moment, Uchiha Itachi stood on a nearby rooftop.
Any Sand Shinobi approaching were instantly caught in his genjutsu and froze mid-step.
“Stop!”
A powerful voice boomed from above. “Who are you? Why did you attack our Jinchūriki in Sunagakure?!”
Kisame grinned. “Huh? You actually called your own son a Jinchūriki. How touching. I wonder how you managed to steal one from Konoha.”
“Speaking of which... that blond kid is one of our targets too. Where is he?”
Rasa’s expression hardened. Realizing there was no point in questioning them further, he immediately launched his attack.
He raised his hand, condensing gold dust and hurling it toward Deidara.
Deidara feigned panic as he retreated, shouting mockingly, “Whoa! You crusty old man!”
“It was that shark-faced guy who provoked you! Why come after me, hmm!”
The gold dust slammed into the ground, leaving a massive crater.
Deidara whistled in awe. “Good thing I’ve got quick reflexes! Yeah!”
He hoisted Gaara over his shoulder and called out, “Hey, Sasori, mission’s done! Let’s retreat. We can watch Itachi’s fight from a distance.”
As Sasori began to pull back, he said curtly, “Don’t call me uncle.”
Deidara grinned. “Alright then, Mr. Scorpion.”
“...Tch,” Sasori muttered, clearly irritated.
Rasa tried to chase after Deidara, but Kisame blocked his path.
“Lord Kazekage,” Kisame sneered, revealing his sharp teeth, “why don’t you tell us where the Nine-Tails’ Jinchūriki is?”
Rasa snorted, raised more gold dust, and tried to push past him to continue the chase.
Kisame was about to stop him when he caught sight of Naruto flying toward them.
Naruto landed beside him and called out, “Lord Kazekage! Don’t worry about them—go after those two! Leave these two to me.”
Deidara heard him and shouted angrily, “You brat! Who are you calling a brat, hmm?!”
Rasa glanced at Naruto, then at the unconscious Gaara.
He hesitated for a moment… then decided to trust Naruto.
He continued chasing Deidara and Sasori as they retreated toward the edge of the village.
Naruto stayed behind, facing Kisame and Itachi.
“So the Akatsuki can actually infiltrate Sunagakure, huh?” Naruto said, narrowing his eyes. “I’ve been hiding here, and you still found me.”
Kisame didn’t lower his guard despite Naruto’s young age.
He unwrapped Samehada and said, “No need to ask questions. Just come with us—or else...”
“What else?” Naruto formed a one-handed seal, his expression calm.
Cracks split the air above them. Kisame’s instincts screamed, and he leapt aside.
BOOM!
The Myojin Gate slammed down, missing him by inches.
Feeling the oppressive sealing power radiating from it, Kisame’s expression turned serious. “What the hell is that?”
Uchiha Itachi activated his Sharingan, standing calmly on the rooftop.
“Uzumaki Naruto,” he asked, “why did you leave Konoha?”
