Should I continue being a villain in the ninja world after transmigrating?

Chapter 122 The Approach of the Konoha Clan

Deidara's gaze fell on August, then shifted to Eli and Sasuke, whose appearances were almost identical but whose temperaments were quite different.

Afterwards, the expression on his face gradually calmed down after the initial excitement.

The methods Ai Li had just used were enough to make him take this seriously.

Although he may seem a bit loud and boisterous, Deidara is actually a highly skilled and composed ninja.

He reached his hand into his pocket, his palm swallowing the clay inside.

Deidara looked at August, a smirk playing on his lips, and shouted, "If you all want the Three-Tails, then let's see who has the ability to do it!"

With that, Deidara unleashed another clay bird, which instantly soared into the sky.

After all, against Eri, who has the innate advantage of wings, only Deidara's clay bird is the most suitable to form a counter-advantage.

Eric spread his wings and chased after them without hesitation.

Deidara's choice of Eli as his opponent was perfectly reasonable and without any issues.

The only problem is that Deidara and Eli have flown far away, so who will be August's opponent now?

After a long silence, Sasori of the Red Sand stepped forward.

With her outer shell already damaged, hiding inside the broken puppet while facing an opponent of August's caliber would only be suicide.

With a series of clicking sounds, a red-haired boy emerged from the ugly puppet to the astonishment of Sasuke and Kimimaro.

After putting Hiruko into the scroll, Scorpion took out another scroll from his sleeve, slowly unfurled it, and revealed the character "three".

“Let me show you my most prized work, August.” Scorpion tilted his head and said, “Of course, if you lose, I will have to create an even more perfect work.”

As the words fell, the patterns on the scroll glowed faintly, and the puppet made by the Third Kazekage appeared in the white mist.

Augustus tapped his wand lightly on the ground, and a powerful, oppressive magical energy slowly emanated from it.

He turned to look at Sasuke and Kimimaro and said, "You should also choose your opponents, especially you, Sasuke."

"Such an opponent is a rare find for you."

Upon hearing August's words, Sasuke's gaze grew increasingly profound.

Looking at the situation, Kisame cracked his neck and gave Sasuke a seemingly fierce yet friendly smile: "Although you look the same, you should be the real Uchiha Sasuke, Itachi's younger brother."

Sasuke looked at Kisame, who had appeared in Konoha with Itachi, and remembered how weak he was when Itachi deliberately tormented him back then.

He slowly drew the Kusanagi sword from behind him, the tip pointing at Kisame, the meaning of which was self-evident.

Kisame's eyes lit up with amusement as he looked at Sasuke, whose strength had clearly improved, and he took Samehada from behind his back.

The next moment, the slender Kusanagi sword collided with the massive Samehada.

Kisame's astonishing strength made Sasuke's palms go numb. Feeling the powerful pressure coming from Kisame, Sasuke did not back down. On the contrary, the fighting spirit in his eyes intensified.

This is the real opponent he wants!

At this moment, Sasori's puppet, the Third Kazekage, also launched an attack on August.

The remaining opponents are Kimimaro, Kakuzu, and Hidan.

Kimimaro didn't care who his opponents were. Looking at the two formidable opponents, he raised his hand and lifted one side of his clothes, revealing a shoulder covered with strange magical patterns.

Hidan blinked, feeling that the act of taking off his clothes looked familiar. He couldn't help but grin and say, "Kid, I think you'd be perfect for our Jashin Cult. Why don't you join me in worshipping Lord Jashin?"

Kimimaro's face remained expressionless in the face of Hidan's words.

He slowly drew a black and white bone sword from his shoulder, swung it lightly twice, and looked at Hidan, saying, "Unfortunately, my soul has already been given to the devil."

......

Several kilometers away, Kakashi looked at Neji, who was using his Byakugan, and asked, "How are things now, Neji?"

The Three-Tails' presence was too strong, not to mention the powerful battle between ninjas that followed. At this moment, the group from Konoha was investigating the situation from a distance.

In the Byakugan's field of vision, the Three-Tails, with its strongest presence and largest size, is undoubtedly the most conspicuous.

"The Three-Tails is currently on the lake, but it seems to be surrounded by another strange energy, making it appear trapped," Neji said. "There are two groups of ninjas fighting not far away, and those ninjas... are all very strong!"

Kakashi and Guy exchanged a glance, both having some guesses in their minds.

If one side is Orochimaru's man, the other side is very likely to be a member of the Akatsuki organization, who are equally determined to obtain the Tailed Beasts.

It seems they were a step too late. Has Orochimaru's people already clashed with the Akatsuki?

However, this might be a good thing for Konoha.

Neji stared at a chakra emanating from one of the fighting ninjas, his expression showing some surprise and uncertainty.

Jiraiya keenly sensed Neji's unease and asked, "Hyuga kid, what else did you see?"

Although he was quite shocked, Neji still hesitated before answering, "Lord Jiraiya, the feeling of one of the chakras is somewhat like... Sasuke's."

Naruto and Sakura's eyes lit up immediately. Naruto excitedly grabbed Neji's shoulder and asked, "Really? Really? Neji!"

Seeing Naruto's expectant eyes, Neji said, "The feeling of chakra is similar, but it's also different. It seems to have an unusual chill about it."

Hearing this, the Nine-Tails on Naruto's head rolled its eyes and said, "That's probably it. Didn't that kid awaken the Mangekyou Sharingan? The chakra of those Uchiha guys has this kind of smell."

With the Nine-Tails as evidence, it's pretty much confirmed.

Kakashi's guess was right, Sasuke really didn't die!

Thinking of this, Naruto's eyes lit up, and he turned and rushed towards the direction of the battle.

"Naruto!" Kakashi called out, and in the next moment, Naruto's figure had already disappeared into the forest.

Sakura's voice was filled with urgency and worry: "Kakashi-sensei!"

Kai patted Kakashi on the shoulder and said, "This is youth!"

The group then gave chase.

The Akatsuki and Orochimaru's people are not simple characters; how could we let Naruto rush in recklessly?

Soon, Jiraiya caught the reckless Naruto, gave him a lecture, and then led him to quietly sneak up to the lake where the Three-Tails was.

Upon getting closer, the Konoha members saw with their own eyes the Three-Tails that Neji had mentioned being trapped.

The Three-Tails was enveloped in a white barrier, motionless, seemingly unconscious.

Nine-Tails leaped down from Naruto's ground, ran across the water to the back of the barrier, and shouted at Three-Tails, "Isobu, you've been defeated so easily! You've really disgraced us tailed beasts!"

Upon hearing the Nine-Tails' voice, the Three-Tails, which had appeared to be unconscious, stirred and raised its head.

Jiraiya shielded the younger generation behind him, keeping a close eye on the Three-Tails' movements.

"Kurama?" the Three-Tailed Fox asked slowly, "Where are you?"

The Nine-Tails, which was not even as big as a toe, throbbed with a vein on its forehead and immediately regretted speaking.

If Isobu saw me like this, wouldn't it be just as embarrassing?

Spending too much time with that idiot Naruto has really dulled my brain.

Kurama, feeling a little regretful, could only console herself that at least the person in front of her was Isobu, an honest guy, not Shukaku, that annoying guy, or Gyuki, that cunning guy.

After coughing lightly twice, Nine-Tails raised its voice and called out, "Here, here!"

Fortunately, the Nine-Tailed Fox's orange-red coat was particularly eye-catching on the lake, and after the Three-Tailed Fox's gaze swept around, it successfully found the Nine-Tailed Fox's figure.

"Kurama?" Isobu's voice was somewhat puzzled. "How did you become so small?"

Nine-Tails raised its chin and said, "That's not important. What's important is how useless you are! You were beaten to this state by mere humans! You're a disgrace to us tailed beasts."

Hearing this, Isobu lowered her head again and said very seriously, "But Kurama, weren't you also defeated by humans and then sealed away?"

Nine-Tailed Fox: ......

The Konoha members not far away: ...That makes a lot of sense.

Kurama, noticing the subtle gazes of the Konoha members behind her, flew into a rage: "I was defeated by those two bastards, Hashirama Senju and Madara Uchiha! And you! Who came from who-knows-where, and you've been beaten like this!"

Isobu's voice sounded listless as she said, "That guy's ninjutsu explodes, and it hurt so much..."

Seeing that the Three-Tails could communicate normally with the Nine-Tails, Jiraiya stepped forward and said, "I am a ninja from Konoha. Can you break this barrier?"

The Three-Tails seemed to have a much better temper than the Nine-Tails. When asked by Zaiye, it replied, "I can't break through. I feel stifled and powerless in this circle."

Kakashi, who had been unusually silent after seeing the Three-Tails, finally spoke up: "Lord Jiraiya, we cannot let Orochimaru's people or the Akatsuki get the Three-Tails."

Jiraiya frowned as he stared at the strange barrier before him. He couldn't sense any chakra from it; it was a barrier created by magic.

With no clue how to break the magical barrier, the Konoha members could only try the most rudimentary method—directly attacking the barrier.

Rasengan, Lightning Blade, super strength—all sorts of techniques were used to attack the barrier simultaneously.

The next moment, the barrier, which had been only faintly glowing white, suddenly burst into a bright light. August, who was about to shatter the puppet of the Third Kazekage, suddenly stopped and turned to fly towards the lake.

Sasori of the Red Sand, who was about to lose his most prized creation, quickly retrieved the puppet.

On the lake, after the white light flashed, the barrier remained intact, though it appeared to have dimmed considerably.

it works!

Jiraiya's eyes lit up, and he was about to continue his attack when suddenly his expression changed. He felt a powerful sense of pressure approaching.

Soon, August arrived above the lake.
