Not only did the meat walls squeeze in from all directions, but things like tongues kept reaching out from behind the meat walls, quickly attacking the two.
Hoshigaki Kisame swung his Samehada, directly cutting off the tongues coming from behind. The two ran quickly towards the end of the meat walls without stopping for even a moment.
This technique wasn't completely closed yet. At the end after the turn, there was a small window.
The light they had seen was shining in through that window.
Even though the two were moving as fast as they could, the entire space was, after all, a wriggling meat wall.
"The meat walls are even faster."
Hoshigaki Kisame glanced around a bit. They might not even reach that window before being completely swallowed by the meat walls.
Whether it was around them or under their feet, soft chunks of meat were constantly rolling and wriggling.
"Yeah."
Uchiha Itachi responded softly. Then he suddenly opened his eyes wide. His Sharingan with three tomoe quickly spun, turning into Mangekyo Sharingan.
His gaze focused on the window, which could be covered at any moment. It seemed as if he sensed something, as the entire window started to shake.
"Amaterasu."
Uchiha Itachi frowned slightly, staring intently at the window.
Black flames rapidly started to burn on the wooden bars of the window.
"Boom!!"
With a loud bang, the entire toad's esophagus shook.
Jiraiya felt a bad feeling rising in his heart, and he quickly got up and chased after the direction the two had fled in.
Naruto was just told to stand still and not move, but he watched as Jiraiya ran towards the direction of the shaking.
"Wait...wait for me! What's going on, pervy sage!"
Naruto looked around, a little lost, and quickly followed Jiraiya's figure, running off in a hurry.
Jiraiya held onto the meat wall at the turn. At the end after the turn, he could already see the scenery outside.
Surrounding the meat wall was a patch of burning black flames.
A large amount of light shone in from the outside. Jiraiya frowned as he looked at the exit that had been burned open into a big hole.
No one should be able to escape from here. Was it interrupted because the ninjutsu wasn't completed?
"What are these black flames~?"
Naruto had already caught up from behind Jiraiya, and ran curiously to the exit, looking at the flames still burning on the meat wall.
The meat wall surrounding the hole was burned to a scorched black color.
"Don't get too close to those flames."
Jiraiya unfolded a scroll to the side, facing the black flames, and wrote and drew on the scroll.
Even though Jiraiya wasn't too sure what these black flames were, this thing could burn through the toad's esophagus, so it definitely wasn't something easy to deal with.
Naruto quickly took a few steps back, hiding behind Jiraiya, craning his neck to look at the burning black flames.
"Sealing jutsu, Fire Sealing Method."
After finishing writing on the scroll, Jiraiya made a hand seal. A faint white gas appeared from the scroll, and the flames burning at the hole were quickly sucked into the scroll.
"That should be okay now."
Jiraiya put away the scroll, stamped his foot slightly, and the meat wall on the ground gradually began to disappear and shrink back.
Not far away, as the meat walls kept disappearing, Sasuke's figure, lying on the ground, gradually appeared.
Naruto hurriedly ran towards Sasuke, grabbed him, and helped him sit against the wall.
Although Uchiha Itachi hadn't been too rough on Sasuke, this one look was enough for Sasuke to be in trouble for a while.
Sasuke wasn't exactly unconscious, but he was staring blankly with his eyes open, stuck in a genjutsu.
"Clang!"
Just as the two were starting to feel relieved, a kunai suddenly flew in from the broken hole, hitting the wall directly and precisely.
Then a figure with backlight suddenly rushed in, attacking directly at Jiraiya.
"Dynamic Entry!"
"Guy?"
Jiraiya was stunned for a moment as he looked at Guy's face, looking confident with the backlight on him.
And Guy's confident, save-the-day smile instantly froze when he saw Jiraiya's face, and his expression immediately became awkward.
However, he couldn't stop his leg now. Guy forcefully kicked Jiraiya in the face.
"Haha, I'm really sorry for kicking you directly. I left in a hurry and forgot to bring a mirror."
"I used the reflection of my forehead protector outside to look in, and I saw you with a cold expression, so I thought you were an enemy."
"I wasn't careful and... I'm really sorry."
Guy scratched his head and laughed heartily.
"Is that an apologetic attitude...!"
Jiraiya rubbed his forehead, feeling a headache coming on.
"Forget it, it doesn't matter. Take Sasuke to the medical team quickly."
"His physical injuries aren't too serious, But his mental trauma is pretty bad."
...
Hoshigaki Kisame and Uchiha Itachi jumped onto the nearby river, quickly fleeing the area.
".~Why are we retreating?"
Itachi's strength is far more than just retreating now.
Even though they both knew about the spy, this was letting things go a little too far.
Hoshigaki Kisame tilted his head slightly, asking a question.
"We don't need to worry about Naruto's current state yet."
"And I also need to find a place to rest my body."
Thin sweat had appeared on Uchiha Itachi's face. He could still fight, sure, but there was no need.
The back-to-back fights were a little too much for him.
He used Tsukuyomi when fighting Kakashi, and then Amaterasu just now.
If he got into a fight with Jiraiya later, his physical condition would gradually worsen, and his lack of stamina would be exposed.
Not only would it be exposed to Jiraiya and the others, but Hoshigaki Kisame would also find out about this information.
He didn't want others to know about his illness yet.
Hoshigaki Kisame was silent for a moment, and didn't ask any more questions.
The two quickly darted into the nearby forest, gradually slowing down their pace.
Jiraiya, with Naruto and Sasuke, probably wouldn't chase too far out recklessly. Even if someone came to support them, they wouldn't pass through this area.
The rustling sound of leaves shaking slightly rang out. Uchiha Itachi and Hoshigaki Kisame instantly looked up alertly.
Hoshigaki Kisame tightened his grip on Samehada, and Uchiha Itachi, whose black eyes had returned to normal, also lit up his Sharingan.
"Oh, you guys are here."
"Don't look at me with such scary expressions~."
"There's no one else here."
Hatake Satoru's voice suddenly rang out from the branch above their heads.
Not from the tree where the leaves were rustling. Itachi and Kisame turned their heads to look behind them.
Hatake Satoru was squatting on a branch, propping his cheek with one hand, looking at the two people below with a smile. Roar.
