Chapter 184
"Get out here, I'm going to kill you!"
"What big words you speak."
Uchiha Itachi's figure suddenly appeared behind Sasuke!
Just as he was about to turn his head sharply, Uchiha Itachi grabbed his arms tightly from behind and twisted them forcefully... Crack!!!
"Ah ah ah ah ah —"
Sasuke's heartbreaking scream instantly echoed.
The joints of both his arms were dislocated, and the bones were completely fractured!
"Sasuke!"
Naruto couldn't help but exclaim.
Previously, Hinata had blocked that attack for Naruto, protecting him.
"Are, are you alright, Naruto-kun?"
Naruto was overjoyed: "Hinata! You're here! Thank you!"
Hinata looked at Naruto, whose half-body was covered in blood, and couldn't help but feel both awe and fear, her eyes welling up with tears.
"I'm, I'm sorry, Naruto-kun, I came late..."
"Why are you apologizing? I should be thanking you!"
Kisame Hoshigaki's heart also trembled.
"Members of the Hyuga Clan?"
"However, I haven't seen this move before, and it's another kid!"
"Why are the kids from Konoha Village all so troublesome?!"
Hinata and Naruto were standing by, fully prepared, when they saw Sasuke and Uchiha Itachierupt into a fierce battle.
Kisame Hoshigaki was also temporarily drawn in by the brothers' fight.
Until Sasuke was instantly subdued by Uchiha Itachi, and his arms were cruelly twisted!
"Sasuke!"
"Sasuke..."
Kisame Hoshigaki chuckled darkly: "Are you really so ruthless to your own younger brother?"
"Mr. Itachi, that's truly your style..."
Naruto was furious: "Bastard! Let go of Sasuke!"
He immediately rushed forward, covered in blood.
However... Kisame Hoshigaki suddenly swung his great sword Samehada, intercepting him.
"Nine-Tailed brat, where are you going?"
"You'll have to get past my great sword Samehada first!"
At this very moment.
Just as Naruto, Sasuke, and Hinata were all in danger, a voice seemed to descend from the sky.
"Secret Technique! Toad Mouth Bind!"
It was Jiraiya's voice!
The next moment... the entire ground, including the lake water released by Kisame Hoshigaki, and everyone on the battlefield, were instantly pulled into another world... From all directions, large expanses of fleshy walls suddenly grew, completely enveloping and sealing everyone within!
"That voice is..."
"Pervy Sage!"
Naruto was overjoyed, knowing that a savior had finally arrived!
Seeing Sasuke trapped within the fleshy walls, Uchiha Itachi also frowned tightly and had no choice but to release his grip.
Kisame Hoshigaki's expression changed even more.
"Did the bait fail?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Jiraiya emerged from the depths of the barrier, striding out with a beautiful woman on his shoulder.
"Trying to use a honey trap to lure the tiger away from the mountain?"
"Hahahaha, you underestimate me, Jiraiya!"
"For a man like me, beautiful women always come to me on their own!"
Naruto couldn't help but get angry: "Pervy Sage! You still got lured away by a beautiful woman!"
Hinata also breathed a sigh of relief: "We, we're saved..."
Sasuke was in so much pain that he was almost unconscious by this point.
Jiraiya glanced at Sasuke, then at Naruto, who was also severely injured, and his expression became more solemn than ever.
"Uchiha Itachi, Kisame Hoshigaki..."
"Two infamous S-rank rogue Ninja of the Ninja World, bullying three children here..."
"It's truly unbearable to watch..."
Kisame Hoshigaki smiled sinisterly: "The legendary Sannin, Jiraiya?"
"I've heard much about you."
"I didn't expect you to know me, I'm truly honored."
Uchiha Itachi said coldly: "Mr. Jiraiya, we need to take Naruto."
"This is the highest directive from the Akatsuki Organization."
"Please do not obstruct us."
Jiraiya laughed heartily: "The so-called Akatsuki Organization?"
"Uchiha Itachi, don't say such boring things in front of me."
"Neither Naruto nor Sasuke, you won't take either of them, because..."
"I'm here."
Naruto couldn't help but pout: "Pervy Sage, where were you just now!"
Jiraiya smiled slightly.
"Actually, I arrived a while ago, I just wanted to see how well you'd perform, Naruto..."
"However, to be able to fight Kisame Hoshigaki to this extent, Naruto, you've far exceeded my expectations!"
"Without a doubt, you are already a powerful Ninjacapable of standing on your own!"
Naruto's feelings became complicated.
"Although the Pervy Sage is praising me like this, I should be very happy, but..."
"I was almost blown up just now!"
Jiraiya scratched his head: "Didn't you blow yourself up?"
"Nonsense! If I hadn't done that, I would have been captured by them!"
"Who told you to use such an intense method? I didn't expect it either, I was completely caught off guard!"
Naruto angrily said: "Didn't you say to act decisively?!"
"In that situation, if I didn't do that, there would have been no way to escape!"
Jiraiya smiled and patted his head.
"Is that so?"
"It seems you remembered my teachings, you're truly an amazing guy..."
Naruto also touched his own head, feeling Jiraiya's praise and protection, and his heart warmed.
Jiraiya put away his smile.
"You two are both S-rank rogue Ninja, and you even dared to lay hands on my adorable disciple. In that case, there's nothing more to say..."
"Today, right here, I'll take care of both of you!"
He slammed his hand on the ground, and the stomach wall of the Great Toad Rock Dweller he summoned instantly began to writhe wildly. The fleshy walls, like tentacles, reached out towards Uchiha Itachi and Kisame Hoshigaki!
Uchiha Itachi immediately said: "Kisame, let's go!"
"Alright!"
The two immediately fled like the wind. Along the way, Kisame Hoshigaki swung his great sword Samehada, temporarily cutting off the "tentacles," but was quickly pursued by more fleshy walls.
Jiraiya snorted coldly: "You can't escape!"
"This move has never failed!"
However, he still miscalculated.
When he pursued them, he saw black flames burning at the end of the Toad Mouth Bind, and a huge hole burned through the fleshy wall... "Hmm?!"
"That is..."
Jiraiya carefully sealed the black flames with the Fire Sealing Method, looked out through the hole, and his brows also furrowed.
"Indeed, those two men are even more dangerous than I imagined..."
He dispelled the Toad Mouth Bind, and Naruto, Sasuke, and Hinata all saw the light of day again.
However, Sasuke instantly collapsed, completely unconscious... "Sasuke!"
Naruto rushed forward to check on him, but saw Sasuke's consciousness was blurry, his features contorted in agony, as if he had seen the most terrifying hellish scene, enduring unimaginable mental torment... Jiraiya also examined him and said in a deep voice: "It seems it's not just his arms, that bastard Uchiha Itachi inflicted some powerful genjutsu on Sasuke, causing Sasuke's mind to completely collapse..."
Naruto anxiously asked: "Then, then what should we do?!"
Jiraiya shook his head: "There's nothing we can do."
"This is damage on a mental level, even I am powerless. He can only recover slowly..."
"Unless..."
"Unless what?!"
Jiraiya said: "Unless we can find Tsunade as soon as possible and persuade her to return to the Village. That way, she can help treat Sasuke."
"She is, after all, the Ninja World's foremost medical master!"
Naruto nodded: "Alright! Then let's leave immediately!"
Jiraiya said: "Hinata, please take Sasuke back. Use your Byakugan to avoid all dangers, and absolutely do not participate in any more battles."
Hinata quickly said: "Yes, Lord Jiraiya!"
"Naruto-kun, then, then I'll take Sasuke back. You, you take care..."
She carried Sasuke on her back, and just as she was about to leave, she suddenly remembered something.
"Oh, and, although I don't know if I should say this, but..."
"Kakashi-sensei was also severely injured by Uchiha Itachi. He looks very dispirited, and I suspect he's under the same jutsu as Sasuke, so..."
"Naruto-kun, you must find Lady Tsunade as soon as possible. Not just Sasuke, Kakashi-sensei also needs her..."
Naruto was startled: "Even Kakashi-sensei too..."
