Chapter 137: Invasion of Pain

Gurulu gurulu.

Fuyi went crazy with spamming.

He lived in Sunagakure and was a ninja, so he couldn't swim.

Just like Artoria, he was protected by the lake spirit and was not afraid of water, but he couldn't swim either.

After taking a few sips, he saw Li Xiang coming at him with a shuriken.

An alarm bell rang in Fuyi's mind.

But he was one of the strong ones in Sunagakure after all.

It would be too embarrassing if he died so easily.

He raised both hands.

The water in front of him suddenly blew away, revealing a net-like strong wind.

Li Xiang's shuriken returned without success, and he immediately retreated.

Because he noticed that the wind-made net was trapping him.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Fuyi quickly spat out a few mouthfuls of water.

The wind had blown the surrounding water far away.

With the help of the wind, he flew up instantly.

Li Xiang used the Body Flicker Technique to dodge the large-scale wind net, did not pursue, and formed hand seals.

Five-Feeding Shark!

In front of him, chakra quickly gathered and formed water bullets resembling five-headed sharks.

Immediately, they chased after Fuyi.

At this moment, he had just left the water surface.

He didn't have time to relax.

The five-headed sharks appeared, opening their mouths, trying to swallow him.

Fuyi immediately used the Body Flicker Technique to create distance, while his body leaned back and spat out several wind bullets from his mouth.

The closest two sharks were torn apart and turned into waves, returning to the sea.

"Damn!"

Fuyi didn't expect Li Xiang's ninjutsu to be so powerful.

It can only be said that the environmental bonus was indeed good.

He continued to form hand seals.

A violent wind enveloped his body, suddenly increasing his speed.

After continuously avoiding the shark bites, he finally had a chance to counterattack.

He opened his mouth and sprayed out a small storm, engulfing the remaining three sharks.

Seeing this, Li Xiang clapped his palm on the water.

Rain Four-Shark!

Four water sharks leaped up, instantly leaving the water surface and reaching a high altitude, then rushed towards Fuyi.

"You damn brat!"

Fuyi cursed and threw a shuriken with an explosive tag.

He originally wanted to fish, but unexpectedly ended up in a life-and-death battle.

Li Xiang could only say that he had already released enough water.

With his experience, he could completely release multiple ninjutsu at once.

After all, he had several lifetimes of hand speed.

Now playing a turn-based game with Fuyi was quite enjoyable.

The main reason was that Hoshigaki Kisame's side was indeed quite dangerous.

But he unexpectedly didn't fall behind when facing three opponents alone, truly incredible.

Sometimes, the gap between Jōnin and Jōnin is simply indescribable in words.

Of course, another reason was that Kankuro and Temari's skills were indeed lacking.

They were young and were forced to step up.

Fuyi's shuriken hit the shark, immediately causing an explosion.

But what he didn't expect was that the four sharks suddenly turned into a thousand small sharks.

A downpour poured down, covering Fuyi's whole body.

His explosive tags even further enhanced the speed.

Fuyi couldn't dodge in time and had four wounds pierced through his shoulder.

He took a cold breath.

His hatred towards Li Xiang continued to grow.

But this guy kept hiding in the water, which was quite troublesome.

He gritted his teeth, and countless winds turned into blades.

The water surface immediately picked up dense waves.

Just like rain.

But Li Xiang's speed in the water was extremely fast, almost instantly dodging the wind blades.

Water Style·Water Fang Bullet!

Two water bullets, resembling long fangs, spun and flew out.

Fuyi was feeling frustrated and angry.

He understood that his previous attack had been ineffective.

Unless his ninjutsu could cover the entire ocean, which was impossible.

He didn't have that much chakra.

Although Fuyi was angry, he still had to dodge the attacks.

His body moved so fast that it left afterimages.

The water bullets were a bit slow and missed their target.

Li Xiang was not in a hurry and continued to play with Fuyi.

The two of them were evenly matched, neither winning nor losing.

Hoshigaki Kisame was having a hard time.

After enduring for an hour, he turned around and ran away, not even caring about Li Xiang.

Seeing this, Li Xiang quickly ran away as well.

Fuyi tried to chase after them, but couldn't catch up.

His speed underwater was too fast.

Meanwhile, Chiyoshi and the other three completely ignored the two fleeing individuals and immediately arrived at the giant rock.

Li Xiang quickly joined forces with Hoshigaki Kisame.

They didn't stay for long.

They chose to return to Sunagakure.

After all, the Chunin exams were not yet over.

At this time, Sunagakure was in chaos, and all the participants temporarily returned to the rest area, waiting for further instructions.

Since they had already come, it would be a waste of time to go back now.

"How is it? Did they ask about me?"

Li Xiang saw Ziyanghua and Fuyong.

As for Hoshigaki Kisame, he went to the residential area where the Jonin of various ninja villages were located.

"No."

Ziyanghua shook her head and explained, "After we were brought back, no one came to ask, let alone inquire. Did something big happen?"

She looked at Li Xiang.

She instinctively felt that this matter was related to him.

Mainly because it was too coincidental.

As soon as he left, Sunagakure became like this.

There must be a problem if there is a connection.

"Kazekage Gaara has disappeared, but he should be back soon."

Li Xiang thought for a moment and said.

He didn't explain the reason.

But it was enough to shock Ziyanghua and Fuyong.

They knew that Li Xiang had joined the Akatsuki organization, but they didn't expect him to attack Gaara during the Chunin exams.

Thinking about the mission given by Konan, they had already guessed that the target was the tailed beasts.

They spent a peaceful day.

After breakfast, they saw the messenger from Sunagakure.

"There has been an accident, the competition is terminated, but your performances are enough to promote you to Chunin."

"What does that mean?" Ziyanghua asked.

"The Kazekage will send a letter to Rain Shinobi Village to report your results."

After the messenger finished speaking, he chose to leave.

The three of them looked at each other and had the same feeling.

A promising start but a disappointing end.

But they didn't mind.

After all, they weren't really here to participate in the exams.

The other ninja villages had complaints, but after hearing the reason, they didn't say anything more.

Chiyoshi's grandmother passed away.

Of course, there was another reason, Gaara died and came back to life, and his body was in a weakened state.

If they were to hold the Chunin exams again, there might be more unexpected events.

Considering all these factors, they chose to cancel it.

Li Xiang and the others left safely.

The Akatsuki organization was also listed as a target by Sunagakure.

After Gaara recovered, he received intelligence that more than half of the Jinchuriki, like him, had been attacked.

There was no doubt.

As the previous Oonoki from Iwagakure had said, the Akatsuki organization's target was the tailed beasts.

"Temari."

After a long silence, Gaara said, "Send people to Konoha Village, Cloud Shinobi Village, Iwagakure, and Kirigakure to invite the Kage to discuss the matter of the Akatsuki organization."

Temari was shocked.

The Five Kage Summit had only been held once before.

That was the initial stage of the founding of the Hidden Leaf Village.

Senju Hashirama and Uchiha Madara dominated the ninja world.

They pacified the chaotic times with their powerful strength.

So they called for a Five Kage Summit to establish future policies.

"The strength of the Akatsuki organization, you must understand," Gaara sighed.

"Sunagakure alone is unable to oppose them."

Temari naturally understood.

The five of them couldn't defeat the two members of the Akatsuki organization.

Especially Hoshigaki Kisame gave her a great shock.

Not to mention the recent news of their gathering, indicating that they have eight members.

"I will take care of it immediately."

Temari left the Kazekage's office with a serious expression.

Four teams, led by four Jōnin, personally went to the major ninja villages.

At the same time, Li Xiang, who had been resting for half a month, received a meeting notice.

Inside the tower, he saw all the members of the Akatsuki organization gathered for the first time.

As for the two Jōnin of the Illusionary Dragon Nine Seals, they were just there to make up the numbers and were not considered official members.

Naturally, they were not included in the meeting.

Before this, Li Xiang had already learned about the current situation through White Zetsu.

The Two-Tails went smoothly.

Just like in the original story, the Two-Tails Jinchūriki became too arrogant and ended up bringing in Kakuzu and Hidan into what they called a death trap, trying to get rid of them.

But they ended up being killed instead.

After that, dealing with the Eight Tails became quite troublesome.

Among all the tailed beasts, except for the Nine Tails, the Eight Tails had the strongest power.

The Eight Tails Jinchūriki, Killer Bee, was also formidable in the entire ninja world.

And he was a perfect Jinchūriki, able to fully unleash the power of the Eight Tails.

Kakuzu and Hidan undoubtedly had a hard time in the beginning, but their abilities were too underhanded.

The former had five hearts and five lives, with extensive combat experience, after all, he was a man who had fought against Senju Hashirama.

The latter had an immortal body, and special methods were needed to kill him.

But Killer Bee was far from Nara Shikamaru's level of intelligence.

In exchange for three hearts, Kakuzu finally managed to capture Killer Bee.

Dealing with the Four Tails Jinchūriki and the Six Tails Jinchūriki was relatively simple.

They encountered Asuma, Sasori, and Deidara.

Not only were they unable to defeat them, they couldn't even escape.

Not to mention the wild Three Tails.

In "Hokage Ninja," there was a phenomenon where the tailed beasts were not as strong as the Jinchūriki.

Perhaps it was because the tailed beasts only knew one move, the Tailed Beast Bomb.

Asuma went and used his Mangekyō Sharingan to control the Three Tails.

In the end, only two tailed beasts remained.

The Seven Tails and the Nine Tails.

The Akatsuki organization called for a meeting to deal with this matter.

As usual, Li Xiang climbed up the stone pillar.

Although he had joined the Akatsuki organization, the ones he was more familiar with were Hoshigaki Kisame and Konan.

So he didn't greet the others.

Besides, there weren't many normal people in the entire Akatsuki organization.

If he went to greet them, he would be looked down upon.

Tendō Pain appeared in front of everyone.

The meeting officially began.

"The Seven Tails Jinchūriki is in Amegakure, and the Nine Tails Jinchūriki is in Konoha Village."

The first one to speak was unexpectedly Asuma.

Wearing a mask, he spread his hands and said, "We are only one step away from our plan. I suggest that the leader take action personally and let the ninja world experience true pain!"

Li Xiang raised an eyebrow.

Was the invasion of Pain happening ahead of schedule?

It seems that Asuma, or rather Obito and Black Zetsu, couldn't wait any longer.

The former wanted to create a world with Rin, while the latter wanted to rescue Ōtsutsuki Kaguya.

After planning for so long, they finally reached the crucial moment.

If it were Li Xiang, he couldn't help but feel the same way.

And from the surface, the Akatsuki organization had the advantage.

"I think Asuma makes sense," Jūzō agreed and spoke, "Konoha Village represents the strongest power in the ninja world. Before Project Tsuki no Me is launched, we must let them understand the strength of the Akatsuki organization."

Tendō Pain pondered slightly.

I have to say, he was somewhat persuaded.

Capturing Nine Tails, no matter who is sent, it will be quite difficult.

But if it's me, it will definitely be a piece of cake.

At the same time, what A Fei said also aligns with his intentions.

Konoha Village should be destroyed.

After a moment of silence, Pain spoke, "In Amegakure, we have Uchiha Itachi and Uchiha Sasuke. I'll leave the Seven Tails Jinchūriki to you, A Fei. I believe you won't disappoint me."

He is one of the few who knows that A Fei possesses Uchiha Madara's identity.

In other words, as the ancestor of the Uchiha clan, it would be too embarrassing if he couldn't handle two younger generations.

A Fei was stunned and suddenly felt a headache.

He has already had dealings with Uchiha Itachi.

That guy is too clever.

He doesn't have confidence in defeating him.

But he is 'Uchiha Madara', if he refuses, Nagato will definitely suspect.

"No problem."

A Fei said calmly.

"I look forward to your good news."

Pain nodded and continued, "I'll take care of Konoha Village. I will make them understand the wrath of a god."

"What about us? You won't let us participate in such an interesting event?"

Hidan couldn't help but speak, "In Konoha Village, there must be sacrifices that Lord Jashin would like."

"You're not needed."

Pain said expressionlessly, "I am enough on my own."

Konoha Village is a particularly special existence for Nagato.

His parents died at the hands of Leaf Village ninjas, but his mentor was Jiraiya.

The meeting ended.

A Fei set off for Amegakure.

But he wasn't alone, he brought Jue.

The reason given was that he needed him for reconnaissance.

Of course, Li Xiang understood that it was a lie.

It was clear that it was because he couldn't defeat Uchiha Itachi and had to bring along Black Zetsu.

Nagato's body couldn't go to Konoha.

It could only be done by Pain, the Six Paths.

But because the control distance was limited, Nagato had Konan protect his true body and go to Konoha Village.

At that time, he would be in a relatively safe position, and then Pain, the Six Paths, would launch the attack.

And besides Konan, he trusted no one else.

That's why he didn't bring anyone else.

Once they discovered that the true body of a god was actually disabled, it would undoubtedly make these unruly guys think differently.

At the same time, Li Xiang was struggling with a question.

How should Amegakure and Konoha Village be dealt with?

They definitely couldn't be proven to be destroyed.

But both Pain, the Six Paths, and Black Zetsu were extremely difficult to deal with.

Of course, his idea was to first kill Black Zetsu and Obito.

As for Nagato, it would be best to keep him.

This way, his Rinnegan would never fall into Uchiha Madara's hands.

Li Xiang quickly made a plan.

He would go to Konoha Village in person and summon Higurashi Hiyori to Amegakure.

He wanted both of them.

Thinking of this, Li Xiang no longer hesitated.

Because Nagato and Black Zetsu were no longer there, no one was monitoring them.

He easily left the Rain Shinobi Village.

Li Xiang controlled Higurashi Hiyori to go to Amegakure.

He himself headed towards Konoha.

With Uchiha Itachi and Uchiha Sasuke in Amegakure, there was no need to worry in the short term.

The main concern was Konoha Village.

Nagato's destructive power was too great.

But fortunately, his body was not agile.

In his desperate situation, Li Xiang arrived at Konoha Village ahead of time.

He quickly arrived at the Hokage's office.

The current Hokage is Uchiha Shisui.

It has been over a month since the last website recommendation, and the number of subscriptions is decreasing. It's really miserable. I've finished writing everything I should, so let's try to give everyone an ending.
