The whole process occurred in less than two breaths, so whether it was Akame, Rabbit, or Hana, on this side, or Weasel who although engaged in a battle against Tobi in the distance still focused half of his intention here because of the arrival of a new member of Amatsukami, or Kitsune who was chasing after 'Madara', all of them were taken aback at the disappearance of the members of Amatsukami.
The moment Hana reacted to the disappearance; she slashed her sword at 'Madara'.
SLASH!
CLANG!
'Madara' simply lifted his left and blocked Hana's sword using a Kunai in his hand. Then without Hana any opportunity to carry out a follow-up attack, he retreated back and spoke, "Whew, it appears that all the members of the Amatsukami are not so troublesome to deal with."
If it weren't for the presence of so many Konoha Anbu in the surroundings, 'Madara' really wanted to laugh out loud and curse Amatsukami to relieve the hatred in his heart. Amatsukami has caused him so many problems, all their members one after another come out and ruin his plans, therefore, no one hates Amatsukami more than him!
Akame clutched the injury of her stomach and glared at 'Madara' in anger, "Damn it!"
Whiish! Whiish! Whiish!
At this time, the sound of three Kunai cutting through the air and coming in his direction reached his ears from one side and the cawing of a bunch of crows came from the other side.
Seeing the attack coming from both sides, 'Madara' quickly activated his Kumai and became intangible allowing the Kunai and crows to pass through him.
Whoosh!
With a silver flash, Kitsune (Kakashi) appeared on one side, while on the other side, crows merged together and took the form of Weasel staring vigilantly at 'Madara.' He was pondering over how to help out the newest member of Amatsukami.
Staring at the three Konoha Anbu surrounding him from three sides, 'Madara' folded his hands over his chest and said lightly, "Although you people are good, and I must say that all of you have improved compared to our last encounter, in my eyes, you all are still as incompetent as ever. With your current strength, you Konoha shinobi won't be able to protect anything!"
Kitsune said coldly, "I don't care what I must do, I will stop you!"
"Heh, is that so?" 'Madara' chuckled, "Then I am really looking forward to that day when you become capable enough…" then added with a smile, "For now, I will be bidding you people a farewell, live well until our next meeting, who knows, perhaps our next meeting might also become our last meeting!"
To 'Madara', the lives of a few Konoha Anbu don't matter. Although the identity of two Anbu here is indeed important, he still doesn't care. The person he actually cares about most at this time is the member of Amatsukami he has successfully captured. Finally gaining the upper hand against Amatsukami, 'Madara' is quite impatient, he wants to immediately leave and torture out all the information about Amatsukami from the brain of this newest member.
"You can't go!"
Seeing that 'Madara' was planning to leave, Kitsune, Weasel, and Hana immediately rushed toward him.
'Madara' easily passed through Kitsune, least interested in fighting him, he did the same thing with Weasel, but when it came to Hana, he manifested himself and grabbed her by the neck.
Holding Hana by the neck, 'Madara' activated Kamui and started to suck her in the Kamui dimension, while doing so, he indifferently looked at Kitsune and said in a disdainful tone, "As I said earlier, you are useless. Can't stop anything, can't save anyone, can't protect anyone!"
Seeing that Hana was about to be swallowed by 'Madara' into the Kamui dimension, Kitsune panicked, "Don't do it!"
'Madara' looked disdainfully at Kitsune and didn't stop at all.
On Weasel's side, seeing that Hana was about to be swallowed too, he decided that he could no longer hold back, and prepared to activate his Mangekyou Sharingan.
But just as he was about to make a move, suddenly he noticed two hands stretch out from the ground beneath 'Madara', they then grabbed Hana's legs and instantly pulled her down will all their power.
'Madara' was taken aback as Hana was forcibly pulled out of his grip and hurriedly made himself intangible, at the same time, he couldn't help but mutter in shock, 'Who was that? Was another Amatsukami in the vicinity all this time?'
While 'Madara' was confused, a figure holding Hana appeared beside Weasel and muttered, "Don't be in such a hurry."
Hana who heard these words felt that these words were meant for 'Madara', but Weasel knew better, he nodded lightly and immediately deactivated his Mangekyou Sharingan.
'Madara' looked over and as he noted the identity of the person who saved Hana, he was shocked, "You are still here…? Then the one who I captured is…?"
Dojin put down Hana on the ground, and said with a shrug, "Who knows… you captured it, you should try to figure it out yourself."
'Madara' muttered with a gloomy tone, "It was some kind of clone."
Because the Kamui he used only activates on physical touch meant that although the thing he captured wasn't a Shadow Clone, it was still some kind of specially made clone that is a bit hard to destroy, meaning he was tricked and fooled by the other party!
Dojin said mysteriously, "Who knows? Maybe I am the clone, and the one you captured is the original."
Hearing this possibility, 'Madara' became doubtful.
…
In the distant forest.
An earthshaking explosion a while ago destroyed the majority of the forest.
Smoke and dust filled the sky because of the explosion, and the burning smell lingered in the area.
Sasori crawled out of the ten-meter-deep hole that was created as a result of the explosion, and gnashed his teeth in anger, "Damn it!"
Looking at his missing left arm and damaged right leg, Sasori's face contorted in anger, thinking of almost dying because of the explosion, he was more and more frustrated!
"Damn it… second time… this is the second time!"
If it weren't for immediately summoning the Rasa and using the gold sand for defense, even his core would have been destroyed, resulting in his death.
Gripping the scroll in his hand, Sasori said viciously, "Deidara just you wait… I know from my spies that you have been in Iwagakure for the past few months, even if I have to overturn the entire Iwagakure, I will find you for the payback!"
…
Iwagakure
"Aaaa-CHooo!"
Deidara who was training to master Dust Release, suddenly sneezed for no reason, and couldn't help but be confused, "What's happening? Did I catch a cold or something?"
While Deidara was confused, Ōnoki who was hovering in the air not far away knocked his head with a stick and scolded harshly, "You have no cold, so don't waste time and continue the training!"
Frustrated Deidara shouted, "I get it… I get it old man… don't hit me!"
Ōnoki snorted, "Humph!" and folded his hands over his chest as he continued to observe Deidara's training.
