Naruto: Five Lives, Five Times the Excitement

Chapter 149 I Want to Be the Seven-Tails Jinchuriki

At the start of the battle, Ooka Shin charged towards Mikami with great courage and determination.

Yahiko and Nagato expressed their full understanding of this.

Although Ooka Shin has grown quite well, his usual strength is still not as good as the two of them. Therefore, it is in line with normal combat principles to deal with enemies who look young and not very strong.

Even if a young enemy has a Sharingan and possesses great strength, given Ooka Nobuo's ruthless fighting style, he would definitely run away early if he encountered danger, so there's no need to worry about him being in danger.

Mikami didn't fight head-on. Instead, he used several wide-range ninjutsu to force back the Akatsuki members who were surrounding him. He then turned around and fled with Fu on his back, quickly leaving the area with Ooka Shin.

That's about enough.

While the intense battle scene was unfolding, Mimori took a moment to give Ooka Shin a wink.

Go further away and create some shadow clones to confuse the audience.

Ooka Shin used his short sword to make a horizontal slash, grazing Yamori's scalp and severing several strands of hair.

It must be said that, with the aid of the Sharingan's observational abilities, their action scenes were performed very realistically.

With the departure of Yamori and the death of Iura Arata, all the pressure fell on Kakuzu, and Yahiko, Nagato, and others gave him a righteous beating.

Kakuzu cursed inwardly.

Mi Shou acted so arrogantly back then, but I never expected him to be such a venomous and black-hearted coward. He's been betrayed.

Selling him out was hateful enough!

What's even more infuriating is that not a single penny of the money from the sale has been seen!

Kakuzu actually got a freebie!

I must kill Mikami next time we meet, unless he offers me an irresistible price!

Fueled by endless hatred and facing an increasingly passive battle situation, Kakuzu unleashed his full power, with the five masked monsters continuously releasing various ninjutsu.

Fortunately, Kakuzu is strong enough, experienced enough, and just saw how Nagato dealt with Iura Arata, which is why he has been able to hold out until now.

"Universal Guidance!"

Nagato seized the opportunity to lure over a masked monster using Wind Release, which Yahiko shattered with a swing of his greatsword.

This is the second masked monster they destroyed.

The battle was beyond saving, and Kakuzu immediately withdrew.

As a monster who has experienced many hardships, Kakuzu is very experienced in running away, and he successfully escaped at the cost of a masked monster.

"Go find the letter!"

Instead of pursuing Kakuzu, Yahiko and his group began searching for Nobuoka.

In the distant valley, Ooka Nobu and Mikami stopped fighting, but instead of exchanging words, they pretended to be locked in a stalemate.

Although Fu was unconscious, it was uncertain whether the Seven-Tails inside her could see the outside world, so they were still acting, conveying the true situation through eye contact and coded messages.

Suddenly, Yasushi received the memories of a shadow clone and knew that Yahiko and the others were about to arrive, so he began his real attack.

"Your time to die has come!"

It's a bit shameful to say this code aloud. I might as well just kill Ooka Shin and let his death wash away my shame.

With a murderous look on his face and an aura of oppression, Mikami's combat power soared. Under the cover of ninjutsu, he launched an attack, thrusting a kunai at Ooka Shin's kidney.

Wow, that's ruthless!

Although it was part of the plan, Ooka Shin still felt a shiver run down his spine when he saw Mikami's sharp, icy attack.

Was it Mi Shou's exceptional acting skills, or was he using his position for personal gain to seek revenge on himself?

"Damn it! Don't underestimate me!"

Ooka Shin dodged and retreated, using his short sword to block Mikami's attack, while glaring fiercely at Mikami.

That's too much! Kidneys are no good!

"Innocent!"

Mimori said with a cold laugh, which was both an act and a real response to Ooka Shin.

I've been bossed around by you guys every day, so this time I'll just consider it interest.

Don't worry, Kyosuke and the others won't escape either. They'll all be dealt with one by one in the future.

As a secondary account user, you should have your own awareness and not always be disrespectful!

Mikami's attacks became increasingly ruthless, and every move was aimed at Ooka Shin's kidneys.

Ooka Nobu twice created openings, hoping that Yagami would attack his trusted men, but Yagami pretended not to see them.

Yahiko and his group could arrive at any moment, so the plan couldn't be stopped and time couldn't be wasted. Ooka Shinya could only swallow his pride and grit his teeth, closing his eyes and deliberately letting Yahiko succeed.

Stab it!

Mikami's kunai pierced deeply into Ooka Shin's lower back, then with a forceful slash, he carved a horrific gash in Ooka Shin's back.

Blood and flesh immediately gushed out.

Of course, Mikami didn't actually stab Ooka Shin in the kidney. Instead, he used his rich experience and the Sharingan's observational ability to create a wound that looked scary but was actually just a superficial injury, without damaging any vital organs.

With timely treatment, Ooka Shin will recover in no time.

"letter!"

The moment Ooka Shin fell to the ground, Yahiko, Nagato, and others made a dazzling appearance and immediately attacked Yahiko to rescue Ooka Shin.

The timing was perfect!

Ooka Shin blocked two attacks and then retreated, leaving Fu behind as well.

"Believe, hold on!"

Amidst Yahiko's concerned words, an Akatsuki member used medical ninjutsu to treat Ooka Shin's injuries.

Nobuyuki Ooka mustered his strength and said in a weak voice, "Quickly check on Fu."

"Oh no! Fu has been poisoned! Her breathing is weak, and she's about to die!"

An Akatsuki member examined the unconscious Fu and offered a pessimistic conclusion.

Looking at Fu's calm little face, everyone felt heavy-hearted.

It was Ooka Shin who spoke first: "What about the Seven-Tails? If we lose the Tailed Beast, the Land of Rain might be invaded again."

The brutal war with Iwagakure felt like yesterday, and Yahiko's heart was filled with even more grief. He waved his hand, signaling the Akatsuki members to stand guard around the area, leaving only Yahiko, Nagato, and Ooka Shin as the three core members.

There are some things that can be said.

"Xin, what can you do?"

Xin's wounds were given basic treatment, and he managed to sit on the ground.

Having lost a lot of blood, he was pale, weak, and spoke slowly.

"Losing the Tailed Beast is not a good thing for either the Land of Rain or our Akatsuki organization. We must keep the Seven-Tails. Why not just seal it inside me?"

At this moment, Ooka Shin spoke his mind.

"With Nagato's current knowledge of sealing techniques and his control over the Rinnegan, he should have a certain degree of confidence in transferring the sealed tailed beasts."

Yahiko's immediate reaction was to object.

"No, this is too risky. Even a major ninja village like Sunagakure has failed many times in sealing tailed beasts. If you fail, you will die!"

Nagato nodded, saying somewhat uncertainly, "Yes, I can't do it."

Don't think I don't know, you'll be calling yourself a god in the future, what's with the guilty conscience?

Besides, I can't let Mi Shou stab me for nothing; I have to gain something!

Of course, Ooka Shin didn't say what he really thought, but obediently nodded.

"Alright, let's just watch Fu die and the Seven-Tailed Fox dissipate. It'll be quick anyway, it won't take long."

Yahiko pointed to himself with his right hand and said resolutely, "Then seal it onto me!"

Just as Nagato was about to object with concern, Ooka Nobu reiterated his "support".

"That's not bad. If you die in the seal, I can seize leadership of Akatsuki, bewitch Nagato and Konan, those two naive girls, to become completely corrupted, kick Iwa ninjas and punch Konoha, and finally unify the entire ninja world, fulfilling your last wish for world peace."

In such a serious setting, Yahiko almost laughed out of anger: "Shin, although I can feel your feelings, the way you express them is truly hateful."

Nagato also quietly defended herself: "I'm not a naive and innocent girl."
