Chapter 361 Unexpected Development

The clash became more and more fierce.

It was almost not a normal human fight.

Although it was not a fully cultivated Zero Tail, Shennong still relied on his own ability to forcibly stimulate all the potential of his body. Shennong in the current mode was definitely a well-deserved Kage-level strongman.

And he was not the kind of goalkeeper, at least he was stronger than the average, facing such an enemy.

Kisame was far from being as calm as before.

The powerful Samehada sword was swung.

It slashed at Shennong's body again and again.

"Bang!"

"Keng!"

But they were all blocked by the tentacles on the outside of Shennong. The most important thing was that Samehada's invincible chakra absorption ability actually failed in Shennong.

It was also based on this point.

The fight between the two became more violent.

Menma, who was watching the battle from a little further away, also showed a look of amazement. He really didn't expect Shennong to be so strong. After all, if you have to say, among the villain bosses who appeared separately in the original work, Shennong is definitely the weakest one. Whether it is his own strength or the Zero Tail he cultivated, the upper limit is there.

Therefore, at this stage.

Menma really doesn't think Shennong will cause any waves.

Menma only cares about the heritage of the Sky Country represented by Shennong.

But now.

Shennong is still quite capable.

Although it is not clear whether this method of directly swallowing the "Zero Tail" has any side effects, at least his current Kage-level strength is real. Looking at the entire ninja world, this is already a pyramid-level figure.

However.

'It's still not enough. . . ’

Menma looked at Kisame and Shennong, who seemed to be evenly matched, and a trace of pity appeared in his pupils. He whispered in his heart.

Let’s not talk about Uchiha Itachi.

Hoshigaki Kisame’s full strength is absolutely top-level Kage (with Samehada.)

Shennong alone can’t beat Kisame.

In the original work, Might Guy has already proved this with his own strength.

And judging from the current battle.

With Menma’s current strength level and combat experience, it can be accurately judged that the gap between the two is so obvious.

At the beginning, they were evenly matched, but it was just Shennong’s short burst and Kisame’s adaptation process.

Uchiha Itachi is still the same as before.

Of course, in the initial confrontation, there was a sideways cooperation, but as the battle progressed, the obvious limit was seen.

Uchiha Itachi returned to the state of holding the line.

Shennong, whose fighting style and fighting strength were completely seen through.

"Bang!"

A heavy blow came down on his face.

Kisame changed his offensive posture directly.

He swung open the middle gate defense with great force, and caught the gap directly, swinging down the huge Samehada sword.

This time, while swiftly swinging away those tentacles, he really hit Shennong's left shoulder directly.

"Crack!"

"Puff!"

The flesh burst open, the tendons and bones broke down.

Comparing with the splattered blood.

Shennong's expression was also distorted instantly.

This was obviously a duel that was far beyond Shennong's expectations. Originally, according to the previous battle intensity, Shennong felt that after his strength surged, he could definitely fight two people alone, not to mention the shark-faced man in front of him, even the famous Uchiha clan's ultimate rebel ninja next to him - Uchiha Itachi would definitely not be his enemy.

But now! ?

Uchiha Itachi was still watching the battle leisurely.

He was still fighting only Hoshigaki Kisame, but he was still at an absolute disadvantage. No matter how you look at it, he was forced into a desperate situation again.

If Shennong still didn't realize that Kisame was not just letting him go, but letting him go, then he really had a brain problem.

It was also in such a moment that Shennong inexplicably felt that he seemed to have really invited him, otherwise why would he hold back so much at the beginning?

He was disdainful of two people fighting one.

The person who took action also repeatedly let him go.

Isn't this sincerity?

But.

This thought.

After just turning around in Shennong's mind, he was actively excluded by him. Who is he! ? One of the former high-level officials of the Sky Country, the only existing leader of the Sky Country, he wanted to revive the Sky Country and even let the Sky Country truly dominate the entire ninja world.

How could he be willing to be inferior to others! ?

Isn't that a joke? ?

This is Shennong's obsession. After forcibly swallowing and fusing Zero Tail, Shennong's ambition was further magnified, which aroused his special beast instincts and made Shennong more and more crazy.

"Ah!!!!"

After making a roar that was not like a human.

Purple light shone all over his body.

Suddenly.

"Boom!"

When a breath that ordinary ninjas would tremble at was directly released.

"Puff!"

The flesh and blood on Shennong's abdomen burst open on its own, and the next second, countless purple-black tentacles suddenly flew out from it.

Compared to the previous one, the tentacles were undoubtedly more exaggerated and filthy, and they attacked Hoshigaki Kisame in a close position with an extremely fierce attitude.

That was clearly the last desperate move.

Kisame was not surprised but happy, with a hint of a grim smile in his pupils.

Instead, he took a step closer and attacked.

The Samehada sword was completely released.

"!?"

The bloody mouth opened directly.

"Puchi!"

"Puchi!"

In an instant, Samehada bit off several tentacles, and Kisame's body tilted in an instant, avoiding several attacking tentacles.

"Shua!"

"Puchi!"

Although there was no way to avoid it completely, two tentacles still passed by his side and stabbed directly into Kisame's abdomen.

Directly pierced through the flesh.

Kisame didn't even hum.

The tyrannical look in his eyes became more intense.

In Shennong's suddenly shrunken pupils, the Samehada sword in his hand once again hit Shennong's chest fiercely.

"Crack!"

This time, the bombardment was even more powerful.

Shennong's ribs were directly broken.

"Wow!"

Purple-red blood spurted out of his mouth.

The next second.

Samehada opened his big mouth and bit Shennong's shoulder fiercely, sucking chakra directly.

Shennong's body trembled.

"Ahhhhhhhhhh!"

The scream that followed.

Kisame sneered, and then swung his arm suddenly, whipping out.

Shennong was hit hard on the ground.

"Boom!"

A dull thud fell, and the dust flew all over the sky in front of the huge pit that was smashed deep. Shennong seemed to have a blank look in front of his eyes, feeling the severe pain all over his body.

"Ah!"

As he let out a cry of pain.

His breath became weaker and weaker.

'It's time! '

The scene where the winner has been decided.

Shennong is just one last blow away.

Menma, who was hiding in the shadows, had a bright look in his eyes.

With a flip of his hand.

A special kunai appeared directly.

Just as he was about to take action.

Suddenly.

On the opposite side, Kisame, who was about to launch the final blow at Shennong, suddenly turned on the road ahead.

He swung his arm suddenly.

' Samehada - Flying Chain Slash! '

The Samehada sword expanded further, and the chain was directly ejected from the back.

In an instant.

The Samehada sword became 20 to 30 meters longer.

From a distance, it attacked Menma's position.

"What is this!?"

The extremely swift attack.

Menma's pupils shrank suddenly.

It was just a kunai that he threw out with a flick of his hand.

"Keng!"

In the head-on collision, a burst of intense sparks was ejected, but with this little buffer time.

Menma jumped.

He avoided it directly from the spot.

At the same time.

It was only half a beat.

There were countless flames that just covered the area where Menma was.

Comparing the area covered by flames and a big hole smashed by the Samehada sword, Menma flashed to another open space.

With a touch of surprise and emotion, he said: "I thought I hid my aura very well, but I didn't expect that I was still discovered. Should I say that I am worthy of being an S-level rebel ninja from two ninja villages?"

The posture of showing up brightly.

The moment he saw Menma's face.

The faces of the three people present all changed slightly.

Especially Uchiha Itachi, his pair of scarlet and black Sharingan stared straight at Menma.

"Uzumaki Menma."

This softly said word.

Shen Nong, who was already seriously injured and lying on the ground below, was even more stunned. Although Shen Nong also paid attention to the information above the ninja world, he had heard about Menma's active performance in the past period of time, but after all, he had never seen him.

Shen Nong did not pay too much attention to Menma's information.

It is naturally impossible to recognize Menma quickly at the first time.

Uchiha Itachi said so.

Shen Nong's heart became active.

I originally thought that I was going to die, or I could only choose to surrender, but now it seems that there are other choices.

Shennong struggled a little to get up from the ground again, steadied his breathing, and looked at the direction where Menma was with a strange look.

Menma now.

It was another way for him to survive.

But Shennong would never have thought that Menma also came for his life, although this was just a temporary decision.

"Oh? Isn't this the Nine-tailed Jinchuriki of Konohagakure Village? He actually appeared here, it's really a chance encounter!!"

Hoshigaki Kisame glanced at Shennong who seemed to have a little movement, but it was obvious that Shennong had lost most of his combat power and was almost half dead, so he focused most of his attention on Menma.

Menma's performance during this period can be said to be fierce.

The plan of his own organization has always been to launch a plan to capture the tailed beast at a certain node. The whirlpool Menma in front of him is one of the targets. In the case of not being able to judge the intention of Menma's arrival.

Kisame naturally put all his energy into being vigilant.

There is a high probability that he has the strength to kill himself.

But now that he was not alone, there was Itachi-san beside him, and Kisame didn't think that Menma was capable of killing both of them.

"Well, we really met by chance, but it can also be regarded as a coincidence. I wonder if the two famous rebel ninjas can raise their hands and hand over the Shennong-san behind you to me? I'm looking for this A Shennong Sang, I need his help with a little help."

Menma smiled softly and said in a calm tone.

It’s really not a ‘kind word’.

This time, Menma was not deliberately found, but it was just a random encounter in the wild.

But Menma himself knew that was the case.

Itachi, Kisame, and even Shen Nong on the opposite side were 100% unconvinced. Especially Shen Nong. When he heard that Menma's target was also him, the hairs all over his body stood up.

I was complaining secretly in my heart.

Why do you always target yourself?

Do you have any value that you are not aware of?

Shennong was obviously making repeated guesses in his mind with a very puzzled look, but it was impossible for Shennong to guess it no matter how hard he tried.

The former was really here to invite him.

The latter is simply interested in the legacy of Kong no Kuni.

"A little favor? Haha"

Inakisaki Kisame had a completely 'I believe you are a ghost' look, and his occasionally straying gaze put him on full alert.

Kisame now knows Menma's identity very well.

From Kisame's point of view, this was simply because Menma came prepared. Menma must not be the only one, there must be others lurking in ambush.

Of course Kisame wanted to raise his spirits ten thousand times.

Everyone in the ninja world knows how powerful Menma's forces are now!

"Sorry, we have to take this person away too, Menma-kun. Please give in here. We have no intention of becoming an enemy."

After being silent for a long time, Uchiha Itachi finally spoke. His eyes were still so calm, and his tone did not show any emotional fluctuations.

It's like a machine.

"No, right? Then I can only feel embarrassed!"

Menma's eyes twitched slightly at those softly spoken words.

"Whoosh!"

The next second.

"Buzz!"

Menma pulled hard with one hand.

Suddenly.

The special kunai that was ejected before suddenly attacked Shennong's position.

The moment when the sharp cold front comes head-on.

Shennong was stunned for a tenth of a second subconsciously. Aren't you in a confrontation? Why did you attack me! ?

But after all, Shennong was also a ninja who had experienced hundreds of battles.

In the battles with several major countries a decade or two ago, Shen Nong killed countless ninjas from all countries, and his strength and experience were among the best.

It was only that moment when I was stunned.

Then there was an immediate reaction.

"Uh-huh!"

With a wave of one hand.

The purple-black tentacles swung out directly from the torso easily knocked the kunai away.

Following from that.

Shennong focused his attention on Menma, Itachi, and Kisame, always alert to the next attack from the three of them.
