Chapter 150: Asuma is killed! The mission to hunt down Akatsuki has failed!

“So… so comfortable.”

Looking at Asuma who was unable to move, Hidan also withdrew from the ritual, his skin returned to normal, and he pulled the sickle out of his body.

"I got it done."

"It's almost over here too." Kakuzu's hands became stronger and stronger, and Gang Zitie felt like his neck was about to be broken.

"Asshole..." Shikamaru roared, having lost all reason.

He strode towards Kakuzu.

But at this moment he was already at the end of his strength, and Kakuzu only made a slight move, and threw his iron body out, hitting Shikamaru.

Shikamaru fell to the ground, not even having the strength to get up.

"Damn it...why am I so useless..."

At this moment, crow feathers fell from the sky.

Yamashiro Aoba stood on the platform, using many crows to block the sight of Kakuzu and Hidan.

"A cover-up?"

Suddenly, a special jonin appeared in front of Kakuzu and stabbed him in the face with a knife.

Kakuzu quickly let go and dodged the attack.

At this moment, Shikamaru realized that support had arrived.

......

In the flower domain space.

Hanane walked on the field of red spider lilies, her expression still so calm.

"Kane, why don't you just kill Asuma?" asked Shinobu, who was standing beside her at this moment.

"You should understand why I didn't kill him."

"Is it really because of the friendship between you and Shikamaru in the past?"

"Pretty much. Most of the reason is because if I kill him, Hidan-nii will be mad at me."

"I see. But your vision should also be affected."

"Well, we have to schedule a battle with that bastard Uchiha Itachi."

"Why don't you transplant the Eternal Mangekyo before killing him?" Xiaonin asked softly.

"I just want to see Uchiha Itachi's death with my own eyes."

"I understand. If you want to transplant it, just come back to the Flower Domain Space and I will transplant it for you."

"Well, thank you, Shinobu."

"Why should you thank me?" Xiaonin smiled.

"Yes, but thank you anyway."

As they spoke, Hanane and Shinobu walked to a most sacred flower field, which was full of life. In this flower field, it seemed as if time had stopped.

There are two cold corpses in two crystal coffins, and there are colorful flowers all around the crystal coffins.

These are the bodies of Uchiha Fugaku and Uchiha Mikoto. On the night of the genocide, Kanon personally transferred her parents to the flower domain space.

Only here can she feel at ease, and only here can her parents be buried.

"Dad...Mom...I am an unfilial daughter...At that time, there was nothing I could do."

"But now it's different..."

Xiaonin looked at the two corpses, seeming to be thinking about something, as if she also felt some pain in her heart.

"Shinobu, I need to go back and save some money."

"Well, go ahead. Every night before you go to bed, remember to go to your inner world to consolidate your ninjutsu."

"I see."

......

Yuyin Village.

Konan looked down at the entire village and smiled slightly. The peaceful scene in the village proved that Nagato's dream was about to be realized.

Behind her, a vortex of roses appeared, and she knew without even thinking that it was Kanon who had returned.

"Hana, you're back."

"Sister Xiaonan, you're looking at the village again, right?"

"Yeah, where are Kakuzu and the others?"

"Not back yet, I came back first."

As she spoke, Hanane lifted up the 3000W iron box.

"This is?"

"Thirty million! And the gains from the past few days, I will save them all later."

"Of course, we also have to allocate funds to Otogakure."

Kanon was thinking when Pain came up to her.

"Deidara and Afei have returned. Start the sealing ceremony of the Three-Tails immediately. Gather everyone back."

"Senior Brother!" Hanane waved at Payne.

"You're back, Hana-chan."

"Well, look, what is this!" Hanane raised the cash box like a lively girl.

"What is this?" Payne wondered. After Xiaonan beside him told Payne the whole story, Payne also chuckled.

"Well done, Kanon-chan, but we have more important things to do right now. Go save the money first while we contact the others."

"Okay! Then I'm leaving!"

Watching Hanane go to the Akatsuki organization's vault, Konan chuckled and said, "It's great to be young."

"Yeah... Xiaonan, when you were your age, you weren't as energetic as her."

"The most energetic one among us is Yahiko."

"Ah."

With that, Pain sat down and sent a message to all members of Akatsuki.

"Seal the Three-Tails, and set off immediately. There is no time to lose."

“What a worrying bunch of guys.”

......

The sky was covered by thick dark clouds, as if covered by a huge black curtain.

The street lamps cast a dim glow, which contrasted sharply with the surrounding darkness. In the distance, thunder rumbled faintly, foreshadowing the coming of a storm.

On his deathbed, Asuma told the three students around him that he had final instructions for them.

He told Choji and Ino to take good care of themselves and become better ninjas.

Ino must not lose to Sakura, whether in ninjutsu or love.

He also asked Ding Ci to lose some weight appropriately. This plain and ordinary request expressed Asuma's final good wishes for his two disciples.

Asuma then told Shikamaru "the meaning of jade."

"Asuma, so you..."

"I'll leave it to you, Shikamaru..."

"It should be ok now. The cigarettes I want to quit are in my pocket."

"Just let me have one more..."

With shaking hands, Shikamaru took out a cigarette for Asuma and placed it to his lips.

Asuma's lighter was hit by Shikamaru and it emitted flames. In the flames, countless memories of Team 10 seemed to surge out.

Shikamaru burst into tears, and Ino and Choji beside him also burst into tears.

Finally, Shikamaru lit the last cigarette for Asuma.

Memories came back again. It was the scene when he first met the three members of Class 10. Asuma choked them with a cigarette and made them cry.

Just like then, the three disciples in front of him had tears in their eyes and sobbed unwillingly.

Just recently, three people who all successfully became Chunin officially graduated from Asuma.

As a graduation gift, Asuma gave each of the three a pair of earrings.

While congratulating them on their graduation, we also reminded the three members of Class 10 not to forget this bond.

Finally, Asuma ran out of strength, and the last image in his mind was the children of Class 10 and the figure of Kurenai Yuhi. There were tears in his eyes, and the unfinished cigarette at the corner of his mouth did not come out as his breathing stopped.

The half-burned cigarette butt took away the teacher of Team 10, the child of the Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen, but it could not take away the will to protect the "Jade" or the belief of Team 10.

Raindrops began to fall silently, small and cold, and they made a crackling sound when they hit the ground. The rain gradually became heavier and turned into a downpour, as if the floodgates of the sky were opened, and countless silver drops of water poured down madly.

The raindrops hit the ground with a dense sound, like a tuneless sad song, playing out the ruthlessness and indifference of nature.

The 10th team and the rest of the jonin lowered their heads. The bodies of Kamijou Izumo and Asuma were placed together, which further highlighted the cruelty of this battle.

The wind joined the rain, whistling through the streets and alleys, picking up garbage and fallen leaves on the ground and making them tumble through the air.

The trees swayed in the strong wind, and their branches whipped the air like whips, as if protesting against the raging storm.

The rain washed everything, making the world blurred, like a painting that had lost its color.

This rain is not just the falling of water, but more like the crying of the sky. It is mourning something, perhaps the two people who passed away, or perhaps the loneliness and despair in this world.

Seeing Asuma dying, Shikamaru stood up and lit a cigarette like Asuma did, but he couldn't open his eyes because of the smoke.

Sad tears, tears choked by cigarettes and falling rain all mixed together; the raindrops gradually grew bigger, ruthlessly extinguishing Shikamaru's cigarette.

The mission to hunt down Akatsuki failed, and Sarutobi Asuma and Kamatsuki Izumo unfortunately died in battle, one at the hands of Hidan and the other at the hands of Uchiha Kanon.

Shikamaru trembled his body, feeling everything around him. The sounds of rain and wind intertwined to form a gloomy elegy, adding a bit of sadness and heaviness to this moment.
