Chapter 452: Capture
As Ringo Ameyuri landed in a cool posture, thunderous cheers rang out from the surrounding audience.
Looking at the red-haired girl with a bright smile, waving enthusiastically to the stands on all sides, and constantly stirring the emotions of the audience, Yahiko couldn't help but shake his head and laugh.
"Although they both have red hair, her personality is completely different from Nagato's."
Konan also smiled and nodded.
"Besides, she is a lightning ninja that is relatively rare in the Kirigakure Village. The speed of her last attack just now would be even difficult for me to deal with."
Yahiko, who was originally looking down with a smile, turned to look at his companions in amazement after hearing what Konan said.
He hesitated for a long time with a complicated expression, but still couldn't figure out how to comment on Konan's words.
In the end, he just smiled awkwardly and passed the matter over.
At this time, far away in the Land of Earth.
Nagato, who was just mentioned by the two, was actually acting together with another rare Lightning Style ninja of the Kirigakure Village.
"Naruto-sama, the last white monster has been dealt with!"
Kurosuki Raiga put the long sword back into the scabbard and reported to Nagato respectfully.
Isaburo, who was standing by, saw that the previously arrogant Kurosuki Raiga was now speaking in such a respectful tone, and the muscles at the corners of his eyes twitched uncontrollably.
Of course, Isaburo would never do such a thing as mocking his seniors.
Although Raiga-senpai was easily defeated by the ANBU named Naruto, he would still be able to defeat him if he was in his place. He didn't want to get beaten up for no reason.
When it comes to assessing the situation, Isaburo thought he had always had a firm grasp of it.
Seeing that both of them had finished their respective cleanup tasks, Nagato nodded silently without saying a word.
Kaito had told him this before leaving the village.
Since this operation requires concealing his identity, the two people who were arranged to accompany him are considered to be good fighters among the Seven Ninja Swordsmen who can guarantee a certain combat power even without wearing ninja swords.
Although Isaburo's strength is not top-notch, he is obedient and experienced.
And that was indeed the case. The 'Blunt Blade: Kabutowari user' codenamed Harpoon was very respectful from the start and was quite efficient in his work.
Although this 'Lightning Blade: Kiba User' had the idea of seizing command at first, he immediately suppressed all his thoughts after showing a little bit of his strength.
There is no ambiguity when it comes to handling trivial matters.
Now that all the White Zetsu hidden nearby have been eliminated, it's time for the real action to begin.
"Ahem~"
Nagato coughed twice, sorted out his thoughts, and then spoke.
"The intelligence this time is slightly different from the previous one. There are two teams of Iwagakure ANBU around the target."
"These two Iwagakure teams are composed of a Jonin and two Chunins. Their strength is currently unknown. You just need to hold them back while I capture the target."
Having said that, Nagato looked at the strange black robes with red clouds that the three of them were wearing, thought for a moment and continued.
"It would be best if we can kill all the enemies. If I don't take the initiative to ask, I don't need your support."
"But if you can't defeat them, then try to lead them away and don't interfere with the battle on my side."
"Also, the most important thing is not to reveal your true identity. With this disguise, as long as you don't reveal yourself, it doesn't matter if someone on the other side escapes alive."
Seeing that both of them nodded to show that they understood, Nagato stopped talking nonsense, took out a mask that he had prepared long ago, and put it on his face.
"Let's get started!"
After saying that.
"Swish, swish, swish~"
The three of them immediately moved towards the target.
At this time, outside a simple wooden house on the edge of a cliff.
Six Iwagakure ANBU knelt on one knee, and the leader spoke respectfully to the man in front of him.
"Roshi-sama, Tsuchikage-sama has ordered you to return to the village as soon as possible, or the village will declare you a traitorous ninja."
The red-haired middle-aged man in purple clothes, who had his back to the six people, heard these words and angrily chopped the tree stump in front of him into pieces with an axe.
Then he turned around and yelled at the six people.
"Another order! Does that bastard Onoki still want to order me around?"
"Get out of here, everyone. If you want me to go back, then ask Onoki to come and beg me in person!"
As he spoke, Roshi threw the sharp axe in his hand hard, and it stabbed straight in front of the person who spoke before.
However, before this person could continue to dissuade him.
An extremely cold voice actually came from the sky.
"Banshō Ten'in." ( Universal Pull )
As the words fell.
Roshi, who was originally standing on the ground, seemed to be tied and dragged by an invisible rope.
The whole person flew into the air uncontrollably.
The six Iwagakure Anbu members were immediately shocked and stood up and turned around.
They saw a guy wearing a black robe with red clouds and a strange orange mask standing in the sky with one hand open, pointing at Roshi who was approaching him quickly.
"Enemy attack! Save Roshi-sama first!"
The leading Anbu shouted loudly, and then several people immediately deployed their formation, ready to release ninjutsu to save Roshi.
However, the next moment, two more figures in black and red cloud robes quickly appeared.
Lightning flashed and the earth cracked.
The two sudden ninjutsu instantly disrupted the actions of these Iwagakure Anbu members.
However, the strength of these people was still acceptable, and there were no direct casualties.
After a brief disturbance, they immediately regrouped and launched a counterattack against the enemy.
Let's not talk about the battle here for now.
In mid-air, Roshi, who was directly caught by Nagato's "Banshō Ten'in", immediately realized that the strength of the person who came should not be underestimated.
He immediately clasped his hands together.
A crimson octopus tail quickly emerged from behind him.
Then, the high-temperature magma emitting a burning breath began to crawl all over his body.
However, simply activating the 'Lava Style Chakra Mode' is not enough.
Roshi knew that this alone could not resolve the current crisis.
Then he continued to make seals with his hands.
"Lava Style: Scorching Stream Rock Jutsu!"
Several red magma balls the size of millstones were spit out from Roshi's mouth and shot towards Nagato who was still standing in mid-air.
Under the scorching heat, even the air seemed to be distorted.
However, seeing this terrifyingly powerful ninjutsu attack coming towards him, Nagato had no intention of stopping his actions.
The other hand was slightly raised, and a white translucent light shield instantly appeared.
As soon as the huge lava fireball touched the seemingly fragile transparent light shield, it immediately began to distort and deform.
It was as if it was absorbed by some invisible force field and disappeared without a trace in the blink of an eye.
"What!"
Roshi, who had not shown much emotional change at first due to the pull of the invisible force, could no longer conceal his shock at this moment.
His Lava Style Ninjutsu, which had always been invincible, was actually absorbed so easily by the opponent.
No time to think about it.
Seeing that he had been dragged in front of the enemy, Roshi punched out without saying a word.
