Sabotage
More than ten miles away, Nagato was carrying the Fourth Mizukage and flying quickly in the sky.
He needed to take the Fourth Mizukage to the nearby Akatsuki base as soon as possible and let the Akatsuki members who knew medical ninjutsu treat the Fourth Mizukage to prevent his death.
"Ah--"
Suddenly, a painful scream came from the mouth of the Fourth Mizukage, who was forcibly hypnotized, and the Fourth Mizukage almost broke free from his hands.
He looked sideways, and his face suddenly changed.
He saw a lot of blood pouring out of the heart position on the left chest of the Fourth Mizukage.
With such a large amount of bleeding, he recognized at a glance that the heart must have been pierced.
Only when the heart was pierced would there be such a huge amount of bleeding.
"The heart was clearly not injured just now?"
He was very sure that before he led the Fourth Mizukage to retreat, the Fourth Mizukage was seriously injured, but his heart was not injured.
Now, how could the heart be pierced suddenly?
"It was Hidan's curse, Death by Blood. Uchiha Fugaku copied Hidan's bloodline limit!"
He thought of the reason in an instant. While he was angry at Uchiha Fugaku, he became anxious.
The heart was pierced, and the Fourth Mizukage was about to die.
Once the Fourth Mizukage died, the Three-Tails would die with him. He must not let the Three-Tails die with the Fourth Mizukage. He didn't want to wait for a few more years.
"Remove the seal--"
Nagato decisively removed the seal on the Fourth Mizukage.
Then, a huge monster emerged from the Fourth Mizukage's body.
This was a huge monster with a turtle-like body.
It was covered with thorns and had three huge tails. Its huge body was like an island.
There was a terrifying aura on its body. The surrounding birds and beasts felt its aura and could not help but flee.
After it appeared, it immediately rioted and madly lashed at Nagato flying in the sky with its three huge tails.
"Shinra Tensei--"
Flying in the air, Nagato raised his hand towards the Three-Tails that was lashing at him with its three huge tails.
Bang--
the three tails that were attacking were slapped away, and the Three-Tails itself was also slapped to the ground.
Its huge body was almost embedded in the ground.
Suffering this terrible blow, the Three-Tails' body was almost flattened, and it was in pain all over and extremely angry.
Whoosh--
the Three-Tails opened its mouth, and a huge Tailed Beast Ball spewed out of its mouth, attacking Nagato in the sky.
Bang--
Nagato used Shinra Tensei, and the Tailed Beast Ball that was attacking was defeated. Not only that, another powerful force slapped the Three-Tails.
Under this powerful force, the Three-Tails, which was as big as an island, was slapped and flew backwards.
The Three-Tails' strength is not to be underestimated, but it is obviously not enough in front of Nagato.
"There is a battle in that direction!"
The noise of Nagato's battle with the Three-Tails was naturally extremely huge and spread far away.
Hearing the sound of fighting, Uchiha Fugaku immediately used the complete form of Susanoo and rushed to the direction where the sound came from.
Although he didn't understand what happened, he had a vague feeling that the battle over there might be related to Nagato.
After a short while, he came to the place where the sound came from.
It was obvious that a battle had taken place here, and the ground was full of hideous traces of destruction.
In the sky a little further away, a turtle-like monster with three tails as big as an island was knocked unconscious by Nagato and flew away with the Banshō Ten'in.
"How did the Three-Tails come out of the body of the Fourth Mizukage?"
Uchiha Fugaku recognized the huge turtle monster as the Three-Tails at a glance and was very surprised.
"Could it be that because the Fourth Mizukage was killed by the Death Curse of Blood, in order to prevent the Three-Tails from dying with him, Nagato unsealed the Three-Tails before the Fourth Mizukage died?"
Uchiha Fugaku guessed in his heart.
The Death Curse of Blood launched with the blood of the Fourth Mizukage should have been successful, but it did not succeed in killing the Three-Tails together.
Before the Fourth Mizukage died, Nagato unsealed the Three-Tails from the Fourth Mizukage's body, preventing the Three-Tails from dying.
The previous fighting must have been caused by Nagato's attempt to capture the Three-Tails.
Susanoo flew at full speed to chase Nagato.
Nagato was flying with the huge Three-Tails, and his flying speed was inevitably affected.
After a dozen breaths, Susanoo intercepted in front of Nagato.
"Are you in such a hurry to leave?"
Uchiha Fugaku said jokingly in Susanoo.
"Uchiha Fugaku, get out of the way!"
Nagato was extremely angry when he saw Uchiha Fugaku.
It was because Uchiha Fugaku used the power of Hidan to curse the Fourth Mizukage that he had to unseal the Three-Tails from the Fourth Mizukage's body and had to recapture the Three-Tails.
If it was normal, he wouldn't mind fighting with Uchiha Fugaku.
But now with the Three-Tails that might wake up and riot at any time, it is not suitable to fight with Uchiha Fugaku.
"That won't do!"
Uchiha Fugaku chuckled.
Since he had encountered it, he would not let the Three-Tails fall into the hands of the Akatsuki organization.
"Sword of Susanoo—"
In Susanoo's right hand, a huge black sword surrounded by black light appeared, and he swung the sword at Nagato through the air.
Swish—
a long black sword light cut through the air and slashed towards Nagato at a speed several times the speed of sound.
The terrifying sharp aura seemed to split the sky in half.
"Shinra Tensei—"
Facing such a terrible blow, even Nagato could not ignore it.
He used Shinra Tensei to set up one repulsive barrier after another in front of him to resist the black sword light.
The black sword light cut through dozens of repulsive barriers, but eventually ran out of power and was blocked by the remaining repulsive barriers.
Nagato blocked this terrible blow.
However, as Nagato used Shinra Tensei, the Banshō Ten'in on the Three-Tails became unsustainable.
The huge Three-Tails fell from the sky to the ground with a bang, and the ground shook slightly.
Under such a violent impact, the Three-Tails, which had been unconscious, woke up again.
"Not good!"
Seeing the Three-Tails wake up, Nagato's face was a little ugly.
Shinra Tensei's invisible repulsive force surged down like a wave, hitting the Three-Tails, trying to knock the awakened Three-Tails unconscious again.
"Your opponent is me!"
Uchiha Fugaku controlled Susanoo to fly and appeared above the Three-Tails.
He slashed with the black Susanoo sword, hitting the invisible repulsive force that rolled like waves at the Three-Tails.
Puff—
the invisible repulsive force was split apart and did not fall on the Three-Tails.
After waking up, the Three-Tails looked at the two monsters in the sky that exuded a terrifying aura and looked more like monsters than it.
Without the slightest pride of being a Tailed Beast, it decisively chose to flee to the seaside not far from here.
"Banshō Ten'in—"
Seeing the Three-Tails fleeing to the seaside, Nagato used Banshō Ten'in to pull the fleeing Three-Tails.
The Three-Tails' ability is to control water. The Three-Tails must not be allowed to escape into the sea, otherwise it will become difficult to find and capture it.
The invisible pulling force fell on the Three-Tails, and the Three-Tails that was fleeing to the seaside was dragged back.
"I said, your opponent is me!"
Uchiha Fugaku controlled Susanoo and slashed a long black sword light between Nagato and the Three-Tails.
Puff—
the invisible force was cut off, and the pulling force acting on the Three-Tails disappeared.
After no longer feeling the dragging force, the Three-Tailed Beast ran wildly towards the seaside, stirring up dust all over the sky.
"Uchiha Fugaku, get out of the way!"
Nagato's face was furious, and a strong repulsive force was like a rolling wave, crashing into the perfect Susanoo.
Puff—
Uchiha Fugaku controlled the perfect Susanoo and swung the black giant sword in his hand.
With one sword strike, the repulsive force like the waves was immediately cut off.
Boom, boom, boom!
A fierce battle broke out between the two, one trying to chase the Three-Tailed Beast and the other trying to stop him.
While the two were fighting, the Three-Tailed Beast finally escaped to the seaside, like a fish returning to the sea, and dived into the sea without hesitation.
Seeing this, Nagato became even more angry.
Bang—
an even stronger repulsive force hit the perfect Susanoo, and the perfect Susanoo was knocked back a thousand meters.
Taking this opportunity, Nagato quickly flew to the seaside and chased into the sea, chasing the Three-Tailed Beast that had escaped into the sea.
Splash—
The Three-Tailed Beast can control water, and entering the sea is like returning to its home turf.
Seeing Nagato chasing into the sea, he wanted to catch it.
It immediately controlled the sea water, raising huge waves to block Nagato's pursuit.
Puff—
Nagato, as a Super Kage-level strongman, still has the advantage even when facing the Three-Tailed Beast with the home advantage.
Shinra Tensei produced a strong repulsive force, which instantly crushed the waves that hit it.
However, the Three-Tailed Beast took this opportunity to dive deep into the sea.
Splash, splash, splash!
The waves in the sea were raging, and Nagato chased him. The Three-Tailed Beast controlled the sea water to block Nagato's pursuit while running away.
After all, the sea is the Three-Tailed Beast's home turf. After a long time of tossing, the Three-Tailed Beast successfully dived deep into the sea and escaped Nagato's pursuit.
Nagato, unwilling to give up, got out of the sea and returned to the previous seaside.
"Uchiha Fugaku!"
He roared, looking for Uchiha Fugaku angrily.
Because of Uchiha Fugaku, the Three-Tails escaped, and now he wants to vent his anger on Uchiha Fugaku.
But after searching along the seashore, he found that Uchiha Fugaku had disappeared.
Not only did he lose the Three-Tails, but even Uchiha Fugaku ran away.
He was full of anger, and there was no place to vent it.
A place far away from the coast.
Swish—
Uchiha Fugaku, who had released Susanoo, used the Body Flicker Technique to quickly move away and return to Konoha.
After seeing the Three-Tails escape into the sea, he decisively chose to retreat.
Now is not the time to fight Nagato.
Nagato, who has healed his legs and can use the power of the Six Paths, is stronger than the six clones.
Although his current strength may not be weaker than Nagato, if he fights Nagato, it will inevitably be a fight to the death.
This is what he doesn't want.
Nagato's strength has reached its limit, but he has not, and he still has room for improvement.
Whether it is acquiring the talent of Sage Jutsu, practicing Sage Mode, or evolving his eyes into the Rinnegan, it can increase his combat power, so there is no need to fight to the death with Nagato now.
