Naruto: Menma Exiting Infinite Tsukuyomi

Chapter 187: Kill Them All, Leave No One Behind

BOOM BOOM BOOM!

All sorts of dense and terrifying ninjutsu continuously attacked the surface of the giant meteorite, the powerful attacks shattering it bit by bit.

Looking from a distance,

the continuous roaring and explosions had already swept across the entire surface of the meteorite. The sky above Amegakure was enveloped and swallowed by the terrifying explosive smoke.

A few minutes later, when the dust and smoke gradually dissipated,

the violent explosion had already shattered the meteorite into several house-sized chunks of rock. Countless bits of dust and rubble falling from above were then blasted into even smaller stone chips by flying explosive tags.

Tendo Pain stood erect amidst the densely falling rocks, his face expressionless as he gazed at the bright moon hanging in the sky.

He could no longer sense the presence of that prying gaze.

That meant the problem of the extraterrestrial meteorite had been temporarily resolved.

However, this did not mean the crisis was completely over.

Although it was still the dead of night, someone must have seen that giant meteorite.

The exposure of Amegakure's intelligence was now unavoidable.

Currently, there were only two ways to remedy the situation.

"All who have infiltrated Amegakure..."

Pain slowly lowered his head, looking down at the ground below, his tone icy: "Kill them all, leave no one behind!"

At a time like this, if they continued to choose to be low-key and hide their strength, it was very likely that the foundation the Akatsuki had accumulated over several years would be lost overnight.

They had to use the force of a thunderbolt to eliminate all those who were trying to fish in troubled waters.

To guarantee to the greatest extent that intelligence about the Gedō Mazō and the Akatsuki would not be completely leaked.

Although this would place Amegakure in the eye of the storm, it was still better than exposing the existence and threat of the Akatsuki organization.

As soon as Pain's words were spoken,

the few rats originally hiding in the dark corners instantly changed their expressions, then, without hesitation, used all their strength to flee towards the outside of Amegakure.

These intelligence agents now had only one thought.

-- The intelligence about Amegakure must be sent back to their villages!

Itachi of the Clan Extermination, Sasori of the Red Sand, the immortal ninja Kakuzu, and many other S-rank missing-nin.

And also many unknown powerful ninja, as well as that monster more terrifying than a Tailed Beast!

Amegakure was hiding this unknown power, so the purpose behind it must be enormous.

Several black shadows fleeing from the dark corners scattered in all directions with a tacit understanding.

But...

"It's too late to think about leaving now!"

Konan flapped her wings, hovering in mid-air. Countless sharp pieces of paper shot towards those black shadows like a sudden downpour.

The originally clear rainwater was gradually stained scarlet.

The "Rain Tiger at Will Technique" had infused the rain clouds above Amegakure with chakra, meaning the entire village of Amegakure was within Nagato's sensory range.

A moment later,

Konan, Kakuzu, and Yakushi Kabuto converged. Her expression was grave as she asked: "Have they all been eliminated? Were there any oversights?"

Seeing the two nod, Konan couldn't help but sigh in relief.

Whether it was people who continued to hide, people who attempted to flee, or people who wanted to resist,

in just a few short minutes, all had been dealt with by the members of Akatsuki.

"Then..."

Just as Konan was about to say something,

Kabuto beside her grabbed a kunai and abruptly stabbed towards a nearby wall.

BOOM!!

The kunai fiercely embedded itself in the wall, emitting a piercing sound.

The blurry shadow reflected there trembled instantly.

Immediately, five figures of varying shapes slowly walked out from inside the room.

"That was close, that was close. What a sensitive fellow."

The five wore straw rain capes that smelled of rain, and damp bamboo hats on their heads. Only their eyes, which were exposed, sized up Konan and the others.

"Who are you people?"

Konan's brow furrowed tightly as she sized up the five before her.

These five were very good at hiding their presence; no wonder they hadn't discovered them just now.

But... to just walk out directly like this, without attempting any resistance?

For a moment, Konan was somewhat unable to figure out the tactics of these five.

"We have long since abandoned our names. If you don't mind, you can call me 'Chū'."

The leader of the five took off his bamboo hat, revealing an unfamiliar male face.

"These four beside me are Yàn, Yáo, Miǎo, and Suǒ."

As he spoke, the other four also lifted the bamboo hats concealing their faces.

"This name may be a bit unfamiliar, but Mr. Kakuzu should recognize us."

Looking at the strange markings on the cheeks of the five, Kakuzu quickly recognized their identities.

"I see. So we're in the same trade."

Kakuzu frowned: "Since you've appeared here, does that mean you accepted a mission in Amegakure?"

The Xuanyuan Group, known as the "ninja who hunt ninja," were, like him, frequenters of the underground black market.

He heard that these five all possessed their own special secret techniques, but no one who knew their secret techniques had ever survived.

Chū narrowed his eyes and smiled: "If I said we were just coincidentally passing through here, would you choose to let us go?"

"Tch! Coincidentally passing through?"

Kakuzu couldn't help but sneer coldly: "We're all people who take money to solve problems for others. What are you still pretending for in front of me?"

"Since you're unwilling to talk, then you can stay behind!"

As his voice fell,

Kakuzu's fist, connected by black threads, abruptly shot towards Chū of the Xuanyuan Group.

"Sigh, people in the same trade are truly rivals!"

Chū sighed with some regret: "Looks like a peaceful negotiation is impossible. However..."

The time they had stalled for was now enough.

VROOOM!

In an instant, a bright light and static suddenly obscured Kakuzu's vision.

Konan and Kakuzu, who were looking straight ahead, both felt a sharp pain in their eyes.

But when their vision returned to normal, nothing before them had changed.

"Tricks!"

Kakuzu's brow furrowed tightly, his hands beginning to rapidly form seals.

A monster wearing a water-current mask appeared from behind him.

"Water Style: Water Ca— ughh!"

Kakuzu was just about to perform a Water Release ninjutsu, but when the chakra in his body began to circulate, his body couldn't help but stiffen.

An intense pain and a sense of crisis appeared almost simultaneously.

Kakuzu's expression was somewhat pained as he looked down at his chest, where the sharp pain was coming from.

"This... what is this?"

He saw a huge, ugly lump had appeared on his chest.

It looked as if a giant insect had entered his body at some unknown time.

And, it was continuously absorbing the chakra in his body, rapidly increasing its volume.

"Kakuzu!"

Konan, seeing this, was about to rush forward.

"Hey, woman, I advise you not to move recklessly."

Chū suddenly spoke meaningfully: "If you still move recklessly, you'll end up just like this fellow."

As he spoke, he added softly: "Like a balloon... pop!"

Konan turned a deaf ear, about to continue using ninjutsu.

But the moment her chakra flowed, she suddenly felt a portion of it drain away, followed by a sharp pain in her abdomen.

"Really disobedient, this one. I already said it would explode."

Chū smiled and pointed at the silent Yakushi Kabuto at the side: "Why can't you learn from him? Look how sensible he is."
