"What is this?!"
Faced with the God-Killing Spear thrown by Yu at supersonic speed, Kisame, who had fallen in the arc of water, felt as if everything around him had suddenly come to a standstill. He could only watch as the white beam of light, which seemed to pierce and cut through the entire world, rapidly enlarged before his eyes.
"This is bad... Itachi!!"
Realizing that Yu's target was none other than Itachi, who was right next to him, Kisame, reacting in the nick of time, gritted his teeth and leapt to the side, throwing himself in front of Itachi to block the attack!
"Kisame?!"
Itachi's blood-red, eerie Mangekyo Sharingan had already been completely swallowed by the white light of the God-Killing Spear. At that moment, he suddenly noticed a figure appear in front of him. When he saw clearly that it was his Akatsuki Organization teammate Kisame, he was left completely stunned!
Boom!!
However, Yu's God-Killing Spear, thrown at supersonic speed, clearly didn't give the two any chance to react. Kisame barely had time to desperately raise his Greatsword, Samehada, to block in front of him. The next moment, a piercing pain, as if his body were being torn apart, surged through him, and both he and Itachi were blasted away together!
It was as if the entire air had shattered under the immense power of the God-Killing Spear. In the stunned gaze of all the Konoha ninjas along the river, they saw the white beam of light released from Yu's hand stretch out endlessly. It pierced through the entire village of Konoha and extended far beyond into the distant forest, with no end in sight.
The two Akatsuki Organization S-class rogue ninjas, Kisame and Itachi, who had just appeared in the village, were blasted out of Konoha by Yu in a manner akin to a rainbow shooting across the sky, vanishing from everyone's sight.
"There are too many people here. This isn't a place to talk..."
After blasting Kisame and Itachi out of Konoha with a single God-Killing Spear, Yu paid no mind to the shocked expressions of Kakashi, Asuma, and the other Konoha ninjas behind him. Muttering to himself, he opened a portal to a different dimension in front of him, stepped into it, and disappeared.
"Dis... disappeared!!"
Seeing Yu step into the mysterious portal to another dimension and vanish, all the Konoha ninjas present were instantly alarmed, realizing that he must have gone outside the village alone to pursue Itachi and Kisame, the two S-class rogue ninjas.
"Akatsuki... Jiraiya-sama once mentioned the name to me..."
"Why would Yu know about this organization... could it be that he..."
Standing between Asuma and Guy, Kakashi seemed to have figured something out. His previously serious expression became even more grim. "I'll go inform Third Hokage-sama! The rest of you, track their positions!!"
As soon as Kakashi finished speaking, all the Konoha ninjas vanished from the spot with Body Flicker, except for Kurenai, who stood there, looking slightly worried.
...
At the same time, in a forest twenty kilometers outside Konoha...
Surrounded by fallen and broken trees, Itachi and Kisame, upon regaining their senses, were shocked to find themselves in this unfamiliar forest, far away from Konoha.
"Kisame, are you alright?!"
After assessing that his own injuries weren't too severe, Itachi quickly dusted himself off and stood up. Looking at Kisame, who was almost completely embedded in the dirt nearby, a rare expression of concern flashed across his otherwise emotionless face.
He would never forget how Kisame had risked his life to stand in front of him just now. It seemed that, beyond the Five Great Ninja Villages, even within the seemingly terrifying organization Akatsuki, there were truly trustworthy ninjas and companions.
Cough cough "I think... I'm still alive."
"It's just that Samehada seems to be unusable for the time being..."
With a series of ragged coughs, Kisame struggled to pull himself out of the dirt. He didn't bother counting how many ribs he might have broken; his attention was drawn to the fact that his sword, Samehada, had nearly been blasted through by Yu's God-Killing Spear, leaving it in a completely limp state.
"That last attack didn't pierce through both of us directly but blasted us all the way here instead."
Recalling the brief exchange with Yu just now, Itachi began calmly analyzing, "That guy, Yu, probably has other motives, which is why he chose to hold back."
"Smart, as expected from the genius Itachi, skilled in analyzing situations."
At that moment, a familiar voice echoed through the forest. As Itachi and Kisame turned their cautious gazes towards the source, the once calm air in front of them transformed into a portal from another dimension, and Yu stepped through.
"Don't worry, I'm not going to kill the two of you..."
"I just have a few things I want to discuss with Itachi."
After reappearing in front of Itachi and Kisame, Yu spoke calmly and indifferently, despite the wary and serious looks from the two.
Descending Rogue Threads!!
Lightning Release: Chidori Blade!!
With the second-stage peak of Observation Haki foreseeing fragments of what was about to happen, just as Kisame, standing next to Itachi, was about to form hand seals to activate a ninjutsu, Yu swiftly raised his palm and brought it down in a quick strike!
As Yu swung his hand, he generated nearly transparent thin threads from each of his five fingers. These threads descended from above and instantly pierced through Kisame's tall body, pinning him to the ground, rendering him immobile!
"Damn it, this guy's strength..."
Although Kisame's true power ranked among the top even within Kage-level ninjas, after losing his Greatsword, Samehada, he could only exert about sixty percent of his full strength. His body was pierced and pinned to the ground by the five sharp, thin threads, and as he tried to struggle through the intense pain, he found himself paralyzed by the Lightning Release currents flowing through the threads. He couldn't muster any strength at all, lying there powerless.
At the same time, deep within his heart, he was shocked by Yu's overwhelming strength. Yu had so effortlessly subdued both him and Itachi in their combined efforts during the battle, with ease and composure. This clearly showed that the legendary Scarlet Yu's reputation was no exaggeration. It was no wonder that Konan, Sasori, and Juzo had all been miserably defeated at his hands.
"The Monster of the Hidden Mist, Kisame..."
As Yu quickly took down Kisame, his gaze lingered on the blue-skinned, shark-faced man. Although Kisame looked terrifying and menacing, Yu secretly admired him.
During the Fourth Great Ninja War, after single-handedly defeating the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki, Killer B, Kisame infiltrated the Allied Shinobi Forces to steal valuable intel. To protect the secrets of his Akatsuki comrades and ensure the enemy's information was delivered to the organization, Kisame resolutely summoned a beast to kill himself. Perhaps, as Guy once remarked, Kisame lived and died like a true ninja. Even as an enemy, such dedication to the ninja way deserves respect.
Mangekyo Sharingan: Tsukuyomi!!
Seeing Yu strike down Kisame, Itachi's crimson, eerie Mangekyo Sharingan flared with power. Seizing the opportunity, Itachi made direct eye contact with Yu's deep amber eyes.
In an instant, Yu found himself in a strange Genjutsu space. It resembled a film negative, with the surroundings appearing identical to the outside world but in completely reversed colors.
