Naruto: I Confronted the Five Kage Before the System Arrived

Chapter 218: Leader? Boss?

The Sharingan is the eye that reflects the soul.

The Mangekyō Sharingan's techniques are also influenced by this.

After Uchiha Kei avenged his great enemy, he felt a sense of relief and was concerned about his family, his clan, and the village.

He needed the power to protect.

Therefore, his Mangekyō Sharingan techniques included the enhanced Susanoo that could defend the village against any threat, and Butsuyutama, the divine weapon that provided protection and armament.

When Uchiha Izumi saw Uchiha Itachi completely fall, she wasn't overly ecstatic.

She was just confused.

Confused about why Itachi had changed so much; confused about why the ever-present Uchiha clan was wiped out; confused about why her innocent family and clan members suffered tragic fates.

If possible, she wished all of this was an illusion and that she could go back and change everything.

Therefore, one of Uchiha Izumi's Mangekyō Sharingan techniques was Time Rewind, which could change reality and return to the past.

As for her other unused technique, it was like Uchiha Itachi's Tsukuyomi, an illusion that ensnared everything.

Enhanced Susanoo, Butsuyutama.

Tsukuyomi, Time Rewind.

These were the Mangekyō Sharingan techniques of Uchiha Kei and Uchiha Izumi.

Compared to Uchiha Kei's grand usage of eye techniques, Uchiha Izumi, with her meticulous nature, resolved the battle with just one use of her eye technique.

Of course, this was also due to Hidan's information leakage and the difference in strength between him and Kakuzu.

At this moment, although Hidan was beheaded, he was still alive and well.

"Hey, hey, hey! You vicious woman! It's one thing to play dirty, but you cut my neck! Don't you know cutting someone's head off hurts a lot? And not only did you cut it off, but you also had no decency to leave me on this filthy ground. There's even a bug crawling on my face!"

"Hurry! Help me kill it!"

Hidan glared at Uchiha Izumi, incessantly complaining.

Uchiha Izumi was very shocked.

"Although the information mentioned this, seeing it with my own eyes is still unbelievable."

At this moment, not only was Hidan's head still lively, but his headless body had also gotten back up and was wandering around aimlessly.

Hidan's head then directed his body:

"Here! Here! You idiot! You're going the wrong way!"

"Huh? It seems like I'm cursing myself."

"No! I can't help it, I must curse!"

"Move a bit to the left. Walk forward. Ugh! How can you be so stupid! I can't teach you even if I try!"

Uchiha Izumi, watching this scene, couldn't help but mutter to herself:

"Is this really still a human?"

Hearing this, Hidan turned his eyes towards her, disgruntled: "How can you insult people like this? Of course, I'm human. This is the blessing given to me by the great god.

"How about it? Are you tempted? If you join the cult, you might get this power too!" Hidan enticed.

Uchiha Izumi shook her head.

Every forbidden technique comes with a heavy price.

She's not foolish enough to listen to Hidan's deceit.

Uchiha Izumi stepped forward, threw a rope to bind Hidan's headless body, and then picked up his head, tying it to her waist.

"Wait! This is too humiliating! Just reattach my head to my body."

"If that's not possible, at least lift my head a bit higher. It's very disrespectful to look up while talking!"

"Mm mm mm"

For someone as quiet as Uchiha Izumi, this was the first time encountering such a noisy enemy.

Plus, talking with a severed head felt really absurd.

She couldn't tolerate it anymore, so she took out a blank scroll and stuffed it into Hidan's mouth.

Finally, it was quiet.

Uchiha Izumi breathed a sigh of relief.

Then, she looked in the direction she came from.

"Is the battle still not over?"

Frowning slightly, she didn't delay any further. Holding the bound Hidan's body, with his head at her waist, she quickly moved towards Uchiha Kei.

At this time, on Uchiha Kei and Kakuzu's battlefield.

The massive Susanoo had already dissipated, and Uchiha Kei looked somewhat exhausted.

Even so, facing Kakuzu, who now only had the fire mask left, he still had a good chance of winning.

However, at this moment, Kakuzu was holding the vital spot of the recently captured Five-Tails Jinchuriki, making Kei hesitate.

With the Mangekyō Sharingan, Uchiha Kei had already become part of Hagoromo's core group and was somewhat aware of the latter's plans.

Opposition was impossible.

Without Lord Hagoromo, he wouldn't be where he is today.

Moreover, the Shinobi world, led by the Five Great Shinobi Villages, was hostile towards them, the unexpected disruptors.

With the Uchiha's nature, they wouldn't back down.

On the contrary, being enemies with the world was their pride.

Just as they once believed that Lord Hagoromo would lead them to successful revenge.

The Uchiha now also believed that Lord Hagoromo would lead them to the bright path and enjoy the final victory.

So,

Uchiha Kei looked at the unconscious Five-Tails Jinchuriki.

If the latter were killed, the Five-Tails within would disperse and take at least several years to revive.

He frowned but didn't act rashly.

Seeing this, Kakuzu didn't make any moves either.

From the beginning, he had two plans for bringing the Five-Tails Jinchuriki close.

One was to take the opponent's heart to gain a second life; the other was to incite the Jinchuriki's Tailed Beast to rampage and escape in the chaos.

But before he could decide, he noticed Uchiha Kei stopping, showing hesitation.

The experienced Kakuzu immediately guessed the reason, thus leading to a stalemate.

He was waiting.

Waiting for Hidan to return.

Although Hidan's overall strength seemed unimpressive, his Curse Technique: Death Controlling Possessed Blood was enough to curse and kill anyone.

It was common for shinobi to bleed during battles, and no one paid attention to their own blood.

Despite the power of the Mangekyō Sharingan, if one got injured, the outcome was certain.

Having seen many formidable enemies fall to Hidan's technique, Kakuzu was confident, even planning to counterattack and kill Uchiha Kei once Hidan returned.

Soon, footsteps were heard from not far away.

Uchiha Kei and Kakuzu immediately looked over.

The former smiled.

Without Sharingan, Kakuzu was a bit slower.

A few moments later, seeing Uchiha Izumi's figure, and Hidan's head making faces at him from her waist, Kakuzu's expression darkened as he muttered:

"Useless!"

"Ptui ptui ptui!"

Having tried multiple times, Hidan finally spat out the scroll in his mouth and looked at Kakuzu, equally disappointed:

"Kakuzu, I trusted you so much! I was even waiting for you to reattach my head. How could you become so weak! You look like you're about to die."

Kakuzu ignored the utterly useless Hidan.

Facing two Uchihas, he decisively gave up on taking hearts and chose to incite the Tailed Beast.

Just as he was about to act, with Uchiha Kei and Uchiha Izumi rushing to stop him.

A phantom suddenly projected from the Akatsuki rings worn by Kakuzu and Hidan's headless body.

"Leader?"

"Boss?"

Kakuzu and Hidan were immediately astonished.
