Naruto Dream Fulfillment Master

Page 139

Wait a minute, their clothes look kind of familiar?

A black background with what appears to be some red on it?

Sasuke's pupils contracted sharply, and almost instinctively he looked towards the corner of the store again.

The figure that was just sitting there has vanished without a trace!

All that remained was the empty table and two cups of steaming tea.

As if the two men in straw hats had never existed, they vanished into thin air.

How can it be? !

Sasuke looked around warily, trying to spot them.

When and how did those two people leave?

In the blink of an eye!

Naruto, sitting opposite him, noticed his companion's unusual behavior and asked curiously, "Sasuke, what's wrong? You look terrible and aren't eating. Are you feeling unwell?"

Sasuke snapped out of his daze upon hearing this, shook his head, and said in a serious tone, "No... I think I just saw a few suspicious people."

As he spoke, he added in a low voice, "I think I saw members of the Akatsuki."

Naruto was stunned for a moment, then his eyes widened: "The Akatsuki?!"

Sasuke nodded hesitantly, then pointed to the corner he had just glanced at: "There were two people dressed like Akatsuki members in that direction. But... I'm not entirely sure. I just glanced over casually, and the lighting wasn't very good in that direction, so I didn't see them clearly."

"If it really is someone from 'Akatsuki' who has infiltrated the village, that would be a huge problem! We can't just sit here and do nothing; we have to go out and search for them right away!"

With that, Naruto grabbed Sasuke and rushed outside.

The two hurriedly got up and rushed out of the store.

The streets were bustling with pedestrians, creating a lively and lively scene.

Naruto and Sasuke stood at the doorway, cautiously looking around, their eyes scanning back and forth among the crowd.

But where was the suspicious figure in the black robe?

The situation is urgent. Every second of delay could mean the other party is far away from here!

Thinking of this, Sasuke made a quick decision and said to Naruto in a deep voice, "Naruto, this road has two directions. Let's split up and search along the road!"

Naruto nodded.

Both of them realized the seriousness of the situation and didn't bother to go back to the store to call Sakura and the others.

Naruto formed hand seals to activate Shadow Clone Jutsu, sending the clones to inform Sakura and the others.

We need to leave immediately.

Before parting, Sasuke solemnly reminded him, "Remember, don't act impulsively! The members of Akatsuki are terrifyingly strong, all of them are S-rank rogue ninja, not people we can handle. Once we confirm they are Akatsuki members, we will retreat immediately and report the situation to the Third Hokage!"

Naruto rolled his eyes and waved his hand, saying, "I know, I'm not that stupid!"

After saying that, he leaped onto the roof and sped off toward the street to the left.

Sasuke didn't dare to delay and ran off in the opposite direction.

Sasuke jogged along the street on the right, his eyes scanning the crowd back and forth, not missing any suspicious corners.

Despite the bustling crowds on the street, his heart sank lower and lower.

All that could be seen were ordinary pedestrians; the two figures I had just glimpsed seemed to have vanished into thin air and never reappeared.

Am I seeing things?

Sasuke frowned, and this thought popped into his mind.

But recalling the fleeting image of the black-and-red-cloud hem of the garment, his intuition told him he hadn't misread it!

"We absolutely cannot miss any clues!" Sasuke clenched his fists tightly.

He had a premonition.

The identities of those two mysterious people are very important!

Holding onto this conviction, Sasuke disregarded his vague unease and quickened his pace, searching forward until he soon reached the end of the street.

The cobblestone path under our feet comes to an end here; we are almost at the edge of the village.

This area has long been deserted and sparsely populated.

Sasuke searched further, but still found nothing.

"Maybe they're in Naruto's direction?"

With that in mind, Sasuke prepared to return and check on Naruto's situation.

However, when Sasuke turned around, he suddenly realized that a burly figure had appeared behind him at some point!

The man was carrying a large sword that was longer than himself, the blade wrapped in white bandages, which creaked softly under the weight on his shoulder.

Sunlight shone on his blue and white skin, casting an extremely eerie image on his face.

His small, triangular eyes gleamed with a bloodthirsty and cruel light. His cheekbones were high, and the sides of his cheeks were faintly visible with folds like gill clefts. His grin revealed a row of sharp, saw-like shark teeth!

Wearing a black trench coat with red clouds, it was the signature outfit of the Akatsuki organization.

He simply stood there quietly, and the chilling aura emanating from him was so overwhelming that Sasuke couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart.

A chill ran down Sasuke's spine.

His heart skipped a beat as he recognized the person as Kisame Hoshigaki, one of the Akatsuki members who had appeared in his dream!

An S-rank rogue ninja from Kirigakure!

It's really them!

The Akatsuki have really arrived!

Sasuke felt a chill in his palms and involuntarily swallowed.

He knew he had made a mistake.

I was already distracted by Nii-san's matter today, and then I impulsively chased after him after catching a glimpse of a black robe that looked like "Akatsuki"!

These guys from Akatsuki are all S-rank rogue ninjas, and they're wanted by the authorities all year round.

With his and Naruto's tracking skills, how could they possibly not be discovered?

I've figured this out.

Sasuke realized that he had acted without thinking this time.

"Kid." Kisame suddenly grinned, revealing his shark-like teeth, and his rough, sinister voice said, "You've got some skills, managing to follow me all the way here?!"

"However... now that you've followed us all this way, we can't just let you go back so easily!"

The blunt threat made Sasuke's face darken.

He forced himself to calm down, feigning composure and remaining silent, while his mind raced with countermeasures.

He has absolutely no chance of winning on his own.

Sasuke forced a look of confusion, feigning bewilderment as he asked, "Who...who are you? What are you saying? I don't understand at all!"

"I just came out to cultivate and happened to pass by here."

As Sasuke spoke, he subtly glanced around, as if he genuinely believed he had encountered a robber.

Upon hearing this, Kisame Hoshigaki let out a strange laugh, his mouthful of shark teeth gleaming menacingly: "Pressure, Masunee~~"

He chuckled sarcastically, carrying his large sword as he slowly walked up to Sasuke. He slightly hunched over, looking down at Sasuke. "Kid, your reaction just now was a bit off! I have a feeling... you seem to know me?"

This teasing remark, delivered with a strange accent, caused Sasuke's pupils to shrink abruptly—

We can't hide it anymore... We have no choice but to fight!

Sasuke gave a silent shout, and his Sharingan suddenly began to spin rapidly.

He took a deep breath, suddenly mobilized all his chakra, and decisively launched an attack!

"The Magical Art of Gahang!"

Sasuke suddenly looked up, his eyes meeting Kisame's gaze.

The powerful eye force erupted from the Sharingan, invading Kisame's brain like invisible ripples.

Kisame Hoshigaki's vision suddenly froze, and his expression also hardened along with the Uchiha's eye power.

It's now!

Sasuke's pupils flashed, and without any desire for the spoils of battle, he turned and ran!

He had no chance of defeating the guy in front of him; he could only run.

Fortunately, he was still within the village area, so he didn't need to run too far. As long as he ran back to the downtown area, he would be safe.

Kisame was only slightly taken aback before breaking free from Sasuke's genjutsu.

After regaining his senses, Kisame was momentarily stunned.

"This illusion? Why does it feel... somewhat familiar?!"

Kisame Hoshigaki shook his head, grinning menacingly, "Hmph, you're quick on your way!"

He let out a strange laugh, and in a flash, he closed in on Sasuke's fleeing back.

Kisame grinned maliciously, raising his massive, bandaged sword high and slashing down at Sasuke's back: "Where do you think you're going?!"

call--

The force of the blade tearing through the air slammed into Sasuke's back.

"Varied--?!"

Kisame felt as if the giant sword had missed its target, as if the blade had not struck anything.

at the same time.

"Crash-"

It was accompanied by the sound of wings flapping.

"Ah! Ah! Ah!"
