Chapter 817 Kidnapping
Chapter 817 Kidnapping
As Obito's figure disappeared, Naruto remained firmly in Nine-Tails Chakra Mode, his eyes vigilantly scanning his surroundings, not daring to relax for even a moment.
Time passed by, and finally, Hongdou and the others rushed over.
Only then did Naruto finally breathe a long sigh of relief, and his tense body gradually relaxed.
However, at that very moment, a loud "bang" was heard, and the ground suddenly exploded!
Suddenly, a shadow clone of Naruto, carrying an unharmed Hinata, burst out of the ground like two groundhogs.
"Are you alright, Hinata?"
Naruto asked with a concerned expression.
Hinata gently shook her head. When she saw that everyone else had arrived, she quickly jumped off Naruto, her cheeks flushed, and said:
"I'm fine, thank you, Naruto."
It turns out that when the situation was critical just now, Naruto hadn't actually sent Hinata away at all.
Just as Obito unleashed his incredibly powerful Fire Release: Storm Dance, Naruto acted swiftly and decisively, digging a hole in the ground and hiding Hinata inside.
Although Naruto doesn't know Earth Release techniques, he can dig caves incredibly fast.
In addition to the raging fire jutsu flames and the thick smoke created by the shadow clones, the three worked together to perfectly conceal Hinata's whereabouts.
If it weren't for protecting Hinata, those shadow clones with Golden Body Mode wouldn't have been annihilated by Obito's single Storm Dance attack.
Naruto had already made a plan in his mind at the very beginning of his confrontation with Obito.
As soon as he officially starts a war with Obito, he will not hesitate to immediately lure him away to avoid affecting Hinata, who is hiding there.
After all, Naruto immediately realized that Obito's primary target was Hinata, and his secondary target was himself.
……
Let's turn back time a bit.
Just as Hinata was attacked, at the same moment, a dangerous situation also occurred where Hanabi was.
At that moment, Hanabi had just been woken up by Moegi. After lazily stretching, she slowly walked out of the tent.
However, the moment she stepped out of the tent, something unexpected happened!
Suddenly, without warning, the solid ground cracked open, and a dark shadow shot out like a ghost, heading straight for the fireworks.
This dark figure is none other than Black Zetsu!
Hanabi was clearly startled by this sudden turn of events, but she quickly regained her composure.
Facing Black Zetsu's fierce offensive, she was not afraid at all. She quickly made a move with both hands, striking hard at the pressure points on Black Zetsu's outstretched hand.
To Hanabi's surprise, the body that Black Zetsu was using was not his own, but that of Hiruko.
This body not only lacks acupoints, but also possesses the Steel Escape Technique.
In an instant, a dense dark light suddenly surged onto Hei Jue's arm.
The moment Hanabi's fingers touched the dark light, a piercing pain, like an electric current, rapidly spread from her fingertips throughout her body.
Hanabi let out a muffled groan, her face turning deathly pale.
But before she could react, Black Zetsu's powerful hand chop came whistling through the air and struck Hanabi's neck with unerring accuracy.
With a muffled thud, before Hanabi could even let out a scream, her eyes rolled back and everything went black; she fell into a coma.
The whole process was incredibly swift; in the blink of an eye, Hanabi had been captured alive by Black Zetsu.
Only then did Menghuang, who was standing to the side, finally wake up as if from a dream.
Seeing her companion in danger, she was extremely anxious. Without hesitation, she reached into her robes, pulled out a kunai as fast as she could, and threw it at Black Zetsu with all her might.
At the same time, he shouted loudly:
"Hiroyuki, call for backup!"
As Menghuang shouted her companions' names, her hands were also rapidly forming hand seals without stopping.
At the same time, Hiroyuki on the other side made a swift move, shooting out several kunai and shuriken with one hand, while launching a distress flare into the sky with the other.
Immediately afterwards, Hiroyuki shot off like an arrow and chased straight after Black Zetsu.
At this point, Black Zetsu had successfully captured his target and knew that he should not linger here.
After all, the reinforcements from Konoha Village arrived far too quickly, and if they were to be surrounded here with the slightest carelessness, the consequences would be unimaginable.
However, Black Zetsu seemed completely unconcerned about the kunai that Hiroyuki shot at him and the shuriken that followed.
With his steel-escape technique, he simply waved his hand casually, and those originally extremely sharp hidden weapons were easily deflected to the side.
When these kunai and shuriken struck Black Zetsu's iron-hard body, they only produced a series of crisp "clanging" sounds, as if they had hit an indestructible city wall.
Moreover, even after such an attack, Black Zetsu's speed of advance was not affected at all, and he continued to move swiftly.
However, just as Black Zetsu took the next step, Moegi finally completed the hand seals.
As she softly uttered:
Earth Release: Fine Stones!
In an instant, the ground beneath Black Zetsu's feet seemed to be torn apart, instantly collapsing and forming countless tiny fragments of stone.
Caught completely off guard, Black Zetsu's body began to sink rapidly.
Moreover, the stones on both sides, like a surging tide, kept pressing towards Black Zetsu, seemingly trying to bury him completely.
However, this sudden change did not cause Black Zetsu to panic.
He snorted coldly, and his deep and eerie Mangekyou Sharingan suddenly began to spin rapidly.
The next moment, a vast and powerful force of light surged forth from his body.
In the blink of an eye, a gigantic Susanoo, its body entirely grayish-white, suddenly appeared among the earth-released pebbles, resisting the pressure that kept coming from all around.
Black Zetsu's movements were incredibly fast. The Susanoo had just appeared when it vanished without a trace, like a fleeting moment.
Without pausing, he cast Steel Escape and Swift Escape on himself with astonishing efficiency, and then sped away like a bolt of lightning.
Despite knowing their opponents were formidable, Hiroyuki and Moegi showed no sign of backing down.
Especially after seeing Hanabi being taken away, the two were extremely anxious and followed closely behind Black Zetsu without hesitation.
However, Black Zetsu's Swift Escape was simply too fast; even with their best efforts, Hiroyuki and Moegi could not match it.
In the blink of an eye, the distance between the two sides increased dramatically.
Hiroyuki and Moegi were extremely anxious, with beads of sweat forming on their foreheads. They chased after them desperately while secretly groaning in their hearts.
However, the gap between them and Black Zetsu was too great, and in that short time Black Zetsu completely escaped their pursuit.
