Chapter 345: Arresting the Four Tails, Konoha Squad

After Hoshigaki Kisame and Uchiha Itachi had a sparring match, they rushed towards their destination.

The temple of the Four-Tails Jinchuriki, Lao Zi, is getting closer and closer to the location of the intelligence received.

Uchiha Itachi looked calm, but he felt a little annoyed in his heart.

Uchiha Itachi naturally wanted to fail in this mission of capturing the Four-Tails Jinchuriki.

But wanting perfection fails.

This matter is still somewhat difficult.

Hoshigaki Kisame's sudden attack just now was obviously a test of his own strength in advance.

He ended the battle with the power of illusion.

But at the same time, if the tailed beast really intervenes this time, Hoshigaki Kisame will...

I'm afraid I can't stay in this Akatsuki organization anymore.

Uchiha Itachi quickly weighed the pros and cons in his mind.

Hoshigaki Kisame, who was walking in front, looked at the nearby temple and stopped.

"Mr. Itachi, leave the task of capturing the Four-Tails Jinchuriki to me alone!"

Hearing this, Uchiha Itachi's eyes narrowed.

This is a warning.

Uchiha Itachi didn't say anything, then found an open space and sat down quietly.

Seeing that Uchiha Itachi really stopped, Hoshigaki Kisame curled up the corner of his mouth in a sneer.

It is indeed the same as what Jue said.

Hoshigaki Kisame didn't hesitate and rushed towards the temple quickly.

Haven't even reached the temple gate yet.

A wandering monk with an old face came out first.

This man was wearing purple clothes and a breastplate, his hair was tied into a small ponytail at the back, and he had a big beard.

It is the target this time, the Four-Tails Jinchuriki, Lao Zi.

"Are you a...traitor ninja from the Hidden Mist Village?"

Looking at the scratched forehead protector on Hoshigaki Kisame's forehead, there was a hint of vigilance in his eyes.

Looking at the murderous intent in Hoshigaki Kisame's eyes.

It's definitely the enemy.

Lao Zi didn't say much and rushed directly towards Hoshigaki Kisame.

Ever since I became a rebel ninja, many people have wanted to kill me.

But unfortunately, they all became his defeated opponents.

"Laojutsu, scorching river rock technique!~"

Lao Zi clasped his hands together.

Several lava fireballs flew directly towards Hoshigaki Kisame.

Hoshigaki Kisame raised his hand and used water jutsu to pull the molten fireball to the ground, quickly submerging it.

Looking at Hoshigaki Kisame's skillful movements.

Old Zi was shocked.

"Have you thoroughly studied the weaknesses of my Lava Release?"

"Then try this!"

Lao Zi's eyes were cold and he clasped his hands together.

A tail-like beast appeared from behind.

The hot magma instantly covered the entire body from the soles of the feet.

"Has your entire body turned into magma? It seems that conventional means cannot be used!"

Hoshigaki Kisame stabbed the big knife in his hand into the ground.

Make quick gestures with both hands.

"Water escape, big water blast!"

Hoshigaki Kisame finished his hand seals and leaned back with his cheeks puffed up.

Then he spat out a mouthful of water towards his body.

The amount of water jutsu was so huge that it instantly lifted up Hoshigaki Kisame.

The scale of the water escape technique even spread to Uchiha Itachi's feet in the distance.

There was a hint of surprise in Uchiha Itachi's eyes.

Water escape technique of this scale is truly astonishing.

"It seems that you, the traitor, are more than just good at talking."

Hoshigaki Kisame stepped on the waves, looking down from above.

The Four-Tails Jinchuriki Lao Zi, who was looking down, said confidently.

"Are you really unwilling to surrender?"

Lao Zi didn't answer and rushed towards Hoshigaki Kisame directly.

Hoshigaki Kisame's body sank into the water, like a fish swimming in the water.

"Big Shark Bullet Technique!"

Seeing that the molten light on Lao Zi's body had dimmed a little, he raised his hand and aimed at Lao Zi who was attacking him.

Looking at the huge shark forming, Lao Zi calmly punched it.

Lao Zi, whose movements should have been slow in the water, was not affected at all.

The ninjutsu that should have been bombarded was within Lao Zi's expectations.

While fighting against its own attacks, it actually grew bigger.

"Oh no, my chakra!"

By the time Lao Zi reacted, the molten chakra in his body had been taken away and absorbed by the huge shark-shaped water bullet.

The shark-shaped water bullet, without the protection of the molten chakra, hit Lao Zi heavily.

"Poof!~"

Lao Zi vomited blood and flew backwards.

"Shark prison!"

At the moment of landing, a water clone of Hoshigaki Kisame quickly formed beside Lao Zi.

The huge water prison with the shark instantly trapped Lao Zi inside.

Hoshigaki Kisame's true form looked down at his own sword.

This sword is made of hard material and is also a medium weapon that connects to chakra.

He grabbed the big knife and instantly appeared in front of Lao Zi.

He raised it up suddenly and stabbed directly into Lao Zi in the water dungeon.

The chakra like magma was extracted by Hoshigaki Kisame through the chakra sword connection and absorbed into his body.

This is exactly Hoshigaki Kisame's auxiliary type of ninjutsu, the chakra absorption technique.

When hit by a chakra-based weapon or when the body comes into contact with the opponent, the opponent's chakra is absorbed.

As the chakra of the tailed beasts died, Lao Zi was seriously injured and fell into a coma.

After Hoshigaki Kisame confirmed that everything was correct, he removed the water prison that was controlling Lao Zi.

The big knife in his hand pierced Lao Zi's clothes, and he carried the knife and Lao Zi directly on his shoulder.

He brought Lao Zi to where Uchiha Itachi was waiting.

"came back?"

Uchiha Itachi turned around.

Hoshigaki Kisame threw Lao Zi to the ground.

"It's really not easy to catch them alive."

Uchiha Itachi's gaze fell on Lao Zi, who was already unconscious at this time, but his whole body was still twitching violently.

Obviously he was seriously injured.

There was a ticking sound.

There were bursts of thunder and the rain was getting heavier.

"It's raining, and it's going to get heavier. Go hide in the shade of a tree, or you'll catch a cold."

Hoshigaki Kisame looked at Lao Zi and spoke to Uchiha Itachi.

"They are still waiting for our news. Once we have captured the person, we will seal him."

Hoshigaki Kisame looked up.

"Let them wait for a while! After all, once the seal begins, we won't have time to rest."

After saying this, Hoshigaki Kisame grabbed Lao Zi's clothes at the back of his waist and lifted him up.

"It looks like he's running out of energy. Be gentle with the elderly."

Hoshigaki Kisame remained unmoved.

"Old man? You don't know him well enough to say that. He's a Jinchūriki who can use the Four-Tails Lava Release. He's not someone who can be killed so easily."

"Mr. Itachi, you didn't fight him directly, so you naturally don't understand my hard work!~"

Hoshigaki Kisame explained helplessly.

Just as the two were about to leave, Uchiha Itachi paused.

"what happened?"

Hoshigaki Kisame looked puzzled.

"somebody is coming."

The voice just fell.

A shuriken tied with an explosive tag flew over from a distance in an instant.

The target is Hoshigaki Kisame and Uchiha Itachi.

"It looks like there are quite a few spying fish!"

Hoshigaki Kisame swung hard and Lao Zi rolled out like a lead ball.

"Water escape, water formation wall!"

With a quick hand seal, a water wall appeared in front of Hoshigaki Kisame.

A violent explosion sounded on the wall of water, creating ripples.

In the end, he failed to break through the water array wall.

"Is that all you have?"

Before Hoshigaki Kisame could finish his words, a emerald green figure suddenly appeared in front of him.

It was just a flying kick.

“I tut!!”
