Chapter 107: Your Sharingan Seems Insufficiently Proficient
However, just as Sasori was weighing his options, an uninvited guest disrupted his plans.
Byakuya's figure arrived quietly, appearing within Sasori's line of sight.
"You are the Rogue Ninja of Hidden Sand Village, Sasori, aren't you?" Byakuya's gaze was sharp, and with a slight shift in posture, he was already prepared for battle.
Sasori gave a cold snort and was about to speak, but unexpectedly, Byakuya's speed was as fast as lightning. With a Body Flicker, he arrived in front of him, restraining both him and Kankuro simultaneously.
"You..." Sasori was shocked and enraged, yet he found himself unable to move an inch.
Byakuya gave a faint smile. "I have no intention of becoming your enemy, but I must take this person with me."
With that, Byakuya took Sasori and Kankuro, disappearing into the depths of Hidden Sand Village in a few leaps.
Hidden Sand Village, at the village entrance.
Byakuya handed the unconscious Kankuro to the Hidden Sand Village Ninjas who had rushed over, and then handed the captured Sasori to Temari.
"I'll leave this guy to you. I have things to do, so I'm leaving first." Leaving behind these words, Byakuya turned and departed, leaving the stunned Hidden Sand Village crowd and a furious Temari behind.
On the other side, Deidara waited at the designated location for a long time, but Sasori never showed up.
He was extremely anxious, wondering if Sasori had met with an accident.
"Dammit, did that guy Sasori betray the Akatsuki?" Deidara felt secret resentment but was helpless.
He knew that with his strength alone, it would be difficult to find any trace of Sasori in Hidden Sand Village.
Left with no choice, Deidara had to seek help from Pain, the leader of the Akatsuki Organization.
Upon receiving the request for help, Pain's brow furrowed tightly.
He realized that something might have gone wrong with this mission.
"Uchiha Itachi, Kisame Hoshigaki, the two of you are relatively close to Hidden Sand Village. Go quickly to support Deidara; you must retrieve Sasori and the 'One tail' Jinchuriki." Pain's voice was low and powerful, carrying an unquestionable authority.
After receiving the orders, Uchiha Itachi and Kisame Hoshigaki immediately set off for Hidden Sand Village.
However, while they were on their way to Hidden Sand Village, they unexpectedly discovered Konoha reinforcements.
"It seems Konoha Village has also intervened in this matter." A hint of coldness flashed in Uchiha Itachi's eyes.
"Hmph, just as well, we can deal with them while we're at it." Kisame Hoshigaki grinned, revealing his sharp fangs.
The Konoha reinforcements were divided into two teams: one led by Might Guy and the other by Kakashi. They were rushing toward Hidden Sand Village when they were suddenly intercepted by the Akatsuki.
"Konoha Ninjas, why have you come here?" Uchiha Itachi asked coldly.
"We are here to save Gaara, move aside!" Might Guy responded, showing no sign of weakness.
However, were the members of the Akatsuki Organization easy to deal with? The two sides clashed instantly, and a fierce battle broke out.
Might Guy fought Kisame Hoshigaki, both of their Taijutsu and Ninjutsu having reached extremely high levels, making it a stalemate. Meanwhile, Kakashi faced off against Uchiha Itachi, their Sharingan eyes locked in a confrontation as they tested each other's strength.
However, as time passed, the Konoha Ninjas gradually fell into a disadvantage.
Uchiha Itachi and Kisame Hoshigaki were both elites within the Akatsuki Organization, possessing immense power. Although the Konoha Ninjas were numerous, they seemed somewhat powerless before them.
"Kakashi, your Sharingan seems insufficiently proficient," Uchiha Itachi said with a cold laugh, simultaneously launching a powerful Ninjutsu attack.
Kakashi struggled to defend but was still knocked back repeatedly. He knew he had to find a way to break through the opponent's defense; otherwise, the Konoha Ninjas would fall into a dangerous situation.
At this critical moment, a powerful force suddenly came from behind the Konoha Ninjas.
Byakuya's figure flickered like a ghost, appearing on the battlefield in an instant.
"Kisame, Itachi, your opponent is me." Byakuya's voice was cold and majestic, as if pronouncing their fate.
With that, Byakuya's figure flashed, and he was already in front of Kisame, striking with a palm that sent him flying.
Immediately after, Byakuya turned to deal with Itachi. Sharingan against Sharingan, the two clashed with dazzling sparks.
However, just as everyone thought Byakuya would engage in a fierce battle with Itachi, Byakuya suddenly stopped and said coldly, "Itachi, your strength is good, but you are not my match.
Tell Pain that if he wants to find trouble with me, he should come himself."
Saying this, Byakuya turned to look at the Konoha Ninjas, his tone softening slightly: "Are you all alright?" Might Guy, Kakashi, and the others looked at Byakuya in stunned silence, unable to speak for a moment.
They hadn't expected this mysterious person who appeared suddenly to be so powerful, repelling Kisame and Itachi with such ease.
"Who... who exactly are you?" Kakashi asked with difficulty.
Byakuya gave a small smile and didn't answer, instead turning to look at Temari: "Temari, how is the situation in Hidden Sand Village?"
"Is Gaara alright?"
Hearing this, Temari's expression darkened. "Gaara was taken by the Akatsuki Organization. We are trying to find a way to save him."
"The Akatsuki?" A hint of coldness flashed in Byakuya's eyes. "Tell the elders of Hidden Sand Village that I will take action to save Gaara.
After all, he is also my disciple." Disciple?
The crowd broke into an uproar upon hearing this.
They never imagined that this mysterious and powerful being would actually be Gaara's master.
Temari looked at Byakuya with excitement. "Is it true? You're willing to save Gaara?"
"Of course." Byakuya nodded. "Gaara is my disciple; naturally, I won't just watch him be taken away."
Just then, a roar came from the sky as Deidara was seen flying rapidly across the horizon with Gaara, preparing to return to the Akatsuki base.
"Trying to leave?" Byakuya snorted coldly, his figure vanishing from the spot instantly.
When he reappeared, he was already blocking Deidara's path.
"Deidara, put Gaara down." Byakuya's voice was as cold as frost, carrying an irresistible authority.
Deidara was stunned; he hadn't expected someone to be able to intercept his flight so easily.
"Who are you? How dare you block my path!" Deidara shouted angrily.
"I'll say it one more time: put Gaara down." Byakuya's voice grew even colder, as if it could freeze everything.
Sensing the powerful aura emanating from Byakuya, Deidara couldn't help but feel a bit wary.
But he was unwilling to give up just like that, so he gritted his teeth and said, "You want me to put him down? Then let's see if you have the ability!"
With that, Deidara formed Hand Seals, preparing to launch a fierce explosive attack.
However, Byakuya simply waved his hand, and an invisible force easily neutralized Deidara's attack.
"You... what kind of person are you?" Deidara looked at Byakuya in horror, realizing he couldn't even gauge the opponent's strength.
