Chapter 42

However, it still caused no damage whatsoever to the monster.

Seeing this situation, Naruto was slightly stunned; is this damn thing immortal?

Seeing that all attacks caused no damage, Naruto immediately took quick steps backward.

This is inside the space of the Red Sea Object, and this fellow must be the so-called Unclean One.

According to Naruto's speculation.

These Unclean Ones should be unable to leave this place.

Then if he leaves this place, this Unclean One should return to its original spot.

Thus, Naruto quickly moved toward the exit to withdraw.

At this moment, Jiraiya outside the mirror was also extremely anxious.

He had tried countless methods to enter inside the mirror, only to find they were completely useless.

And upon seeing Naruto attack that monster.

Jiraiya's heart hung in his throat, fearing this child might become stubborn and fight the Unclean One to the death.

If anything happened to Naruto, he would deserve ten thousand deaths for his guilt.

But fortunately.

Upon seeing Naruto heading toward the exit, Jiraiya also breathed a sigh of relief.

Moments later, the surface of the mirror before Jiraiya rippled with water waves once again.

Immediately after.

Naruto instantly crashed out from within the mirror.

"Phew, finally out, huh? Teacher Jiraiya, why are you here?"

Leaning against the wall after crashing out of the mirror, Naruto panted heavily, and when he lifted his eyes, he saw Jiraiya right before him, looking at him with a sinister expression.

Just as Jiraiya prepared to lecture Naruto.

Suddenly, their door was smashed open by someone.

Two men wearing high-collared trench coats with black backgrounds and red clouds appeared before Jiraiya and the other.

Looking at the two people appearing in the light screen.

Everyone outside the light screen was thoroughly shocked.

"This is... Akatsuki!"

Looking at the two people in the light screen, Tsunade frowned slightly.

Tsunade had not expected that Naruto and the others would actually encounter members of the Akatsuki organization this time.

Although Tsunade had great confidence in Jiraiya.

Nevertheless, Jiraiya still had Naruto with him.

If even one of these two Akatsuki members could tie up Jiraiya, Naruto would definitely be in trouble.

Inside Orochimaru's secret base.

Watching the two Akatsuki members appear, Orochimaru narrowed his eyes slightly, the corners of his mouth lifting slightly.

He murmured to himself:

"Kakuzu, Hidan, it has truly been a long time. Jiraiya, I wonder if you can protect Naruto?"

At this time, at the scene.

Seeing the arrival of Kakuzu and Hidan, both Jiraiya and Naruto became extremely vigilant.

Facing the two, Jiraiya still felt quite confident he could deal with them.

But then, Jiraiya glanced at Naruto beside him.

However, at this time, Naruto had only just begun his cultivation, and his strength was not yet sufficient.

If they fought here, not only might Naruto lose his life, but countless civilians here would also be harmed.

At this moment, Kakuzu and Hidan were also watching the Jiraiya before them vigilantly.

Although Hidan himself was a chatterbox, when facing Jiraiya who possessed the strength of a Hokage.

Hidan had no choice but to become vigilant.

Moreover, earlier their boss had sent them a message telling them not to bother with Naruto and Jiraiya, but to focus wholeheartedly on seizing the Red Sea Object.

Just as the two groups faced off tensely.

Jiraiya grabbed Naruto beside him and fled through the window.

Even if Naruto wanted to take the Red Sea Object, this was not something he could decide now.

Outside the light screen, watching Jiraiya take Naruto away, Tsunade and the others breathed a slight sigh of relief.

Hinata also completely relaxed.

Meanwhile, Kakuzu and the other, who had been facing off with them, also relaxed and quickly walked over to the mirror.

Just as Kakuzu intended to take the Red Sea Object, Hidan suddenly stopped him.

Only to see curiosity shining in Hidan's eyes as he looked at Kakuzu and said:

"Kakuzu, aren't you curious about what is actually in there?"

Looking at the thoroughly curious Hidan, Kakuzu sized him up from head to toe and asked:

"You wouldn't be wanting to go in there, would you?"

Immediately after, Hidan nodded enthusiastically with a face full of excitement.

But then Kakuzu gently shook his head:

"If you want to go in, go in yourself; I have no interest."

Immediately after.

Hidan's eyes darted up and down before he snatched the Crimson Sea object from atop the mirror.

In an instant, the color of the Crimson Sea object shifted from red to yellow.

Seeing this, Obito immediately cursed aloud, "That bastard!"

Obito then tried to contact the two, but discovered that for some reason, his ninjutsu could not reach them at all.

Tsunade and the others were also greatly shocked upon witnessing this scene.

What is this guy trying to do?

Doesn't he know there is something inside capable of destroying the world?

Entering now means he is either ambitious or simply far too curious.

At this moment, seeing the change in the Crimson Sea object, Hidan's breathing grew rapid.

Then his eyes shifted again.

With one hand, he directly grabbed Kakuzu beside him and yanked him into the Crimson Sea object.
