Are you not planning to take action yet?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tsunade raised her brows slightly at those words.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The \"two lords\" he mentioned should be the same two people Aoba had said were hiding in the shadows.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She turned to look back, only to find that Aoba's figure had already vanished.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Most likely, he'd gone to find those two.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shibuki, however, immediately became alert upon hearing Suien's words. He had wondered why Suien dared return with these Amegakure shinobi, it turned out he still had backup.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But after a few seconds, no one responded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Wha… what's going on?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A look of fear slowly crept across Suien's face, 'Could it be those two saw the Hokage of Konoha and didn't dare come out?'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Come out already!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Does your Akatsuki organization not keep its word?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suien cursed angrily, \"Bastards!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>BOOM!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>BOOM!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The words had barely left his mouth when two loud explosions echoed above the giant tree.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Immediately after, two black figures fell straight from the sky and smashed into the water, sending up enormous splashes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"My lords?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suien's expression changed at once.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shibuki and Fu's faces grew serious as well, though Tsunade and Kurotsuchi remained calm as ever.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aoba reappeared before Tsunade and the others.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So handsome!\", Fu blurted it out without thinking. Having lived in Takigakure for over ten years, it was indeed her first time seeing a good-looking man.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aoba nearly stumbled when he heard that.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Judging from her tone, though, she probably just thought he looked good, it wasn't anything like infatuation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tsunade frowned slightly, glanced at Fu, and then asked, \"How's the situation?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"They're indeed two members of Akatsuki. But it's no big problem, leave it to me,\" Aoba's tone was casual.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then I'll leave it to you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing that he didn't look like he was bluffing, Tsunade simply led Fu and the others a bit farther away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She just wanted to play the role of a laid-back Hokage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The waves stirred up by Kakuzu and Sasori's fall had gradually subsided by now, leaving only faint ripples behind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two figures came into view, looking rather disheveled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hiruko's tail was covered in cracks, the punch from Aoba earlier had almost snapped it in half.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Under his damaged mask, Kakuzu's face was dark with fury, his pair of green eyes locked fiercely on Aoba.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Aoba, you've succeeded in angering me! Even for the deputy leader's sake, I won't let you go!\", Hiruko's beady eyes also stayed fixed coldly on Aoba.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They hadn't intended to fight at first. After all, with not only Aoba and Tsunade present but also the Seven-Tails' jinchuriki nearby, the advantage wasn't theirs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But this brat Aoba had no sense of honor. After just a few words of talk, he'd suddenly punched them without warning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Eh? Isn't that the legendary Kakuzu-senpai? He looks exactly like the wanted poster from decades ago,\" Fu, who had been watching from afar, exclaimed when she saw him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"He's the rogue-nin Kakuzu. As for his appearance, that's likely due to his Earth Grudge Fear technique,\" Shibuki said after studying him for a moment, his expression growing solemn, \"He's a legendary shinobi who survived even after fighting the First Hokage.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"He fought Grandpa and survived?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tsunade was surprised. How had she never heard of that before?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By all logic, the village should've had records about such a person, her grandfather had never mentioned it either.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"He did fight him,\" Fu said loudly, \"But I heard Kakuzu-senpai only threw a shuriken from very far away trying to assassinate the First Hokage, failed, ran back home, then killed the village elders and defected.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her voice was so loud that even the distant Kakuzu heard it, and his face darkened further.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ahem! Well, that version doesn't exactly match reality. I'll tell you when you're older,\" Shibuki said awkwardly. As clan head, he of course knew the truth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It wasn't exactly a proud story.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, sending Kakuzu to assassinate the First Hokage, then punishing him when he failed, it had been a ridiculous decision.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Really? So Kakuzu-senpai didn't just throw a shuriken from eight hundred meters away?\", Fu asked eagerly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Brat! I really did fight the First Hokage!\", Kakuzu couldn't stand it anymore and roared at her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fu immediately hid behind Tsunade, clearly knowing who among them gave her the most sense of safety.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That only infuriated Kakuzu even more.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He'd already accepted that Takigakure had once sent him on an absurd mission to assassinate the First Hokage. But after he returned half-dead and severely injured, they'd imprisoned and tortured him, and now they were slandering him too?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was livid.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had truly fought the First Hokage. Sure, it was only against a wood clone, but it had been a battle for his life.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I didn't expect you really did fight the First Hokage,\" Aoba said, surprised, \"I thought you'd only thrown a shuriken from eight hundred meters away. I was even thinking of comparing throwing techniques with you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kakuzu's expression grew even darker, but he restrained himself. Fighting now would not be advantageous for them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Takigakure leader was here as well, and he knew the weaknesses of Earth Grudge Fear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Since you already know my past,\" Kakuzu said stiffly, \"why don't we end it here?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aoba just smiled, \"Since you've fought the First Hokage, I'm curious, which jutsu of his did you lose to? Maybe I happen to know it too.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kakuzu: \"...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Is this guy bullying the honest ones on purpose?'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So,\" Sasori said, his chakra already gathering quietly, \"must you insist on fighting us both?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aoba replied calmly, \"Some things are best discussed after you've realized the gap between us.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kakuzu and Sasori exchanged a glance, and without another word, decided to strike first.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Streams of black thread poured from the cracks in Kakuzu's arms, writhing like black tentacles.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ninjutsu: Earth Grudge Fear-Tentacle Fist!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Countless black threads shot toward Aoba, filling the air and cutting off every possible escape.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hiruko-Needle Eight Barrage!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sasori controlled Hiruko to open its jaws, firing an ultra-dense rain of poisoned needles and spikes at Aoba, so fast they were almost impossible to dodge.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once hit, the poison Sasori personally crafted would paralyze and kill almost instantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Both techniques required no hand signs, and since they struck first, no matter how powerful Aoba was, at this range he wouldn't have time to form seals.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dodging such dense attacks was no easy feat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Aoba didn't even try to dodge, nor did he use Wood Release.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Under Kakuzu's shocked gaze, Aoba simply raised his hand slightly and awakened a memory of terror that had once ruled Kakuzu's mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Shinra Tensei!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kakuzu: \"?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>═❀═❀═❀═❀═❀═❀═\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[email protected]\u002FAmbitiousTranslator\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>🥳Joining P@treon keeps me motivated and eager to work diligently, so please consider joining.🥰 You can access upto 20 advance chapter through P@treon.\u003C\u002Fp>",1143,"2026-06-10T07:06:11.654Z",1,"novelbin.me","514021832ee1f11a9e9f84deb18cde837429afaaa3649ad8824d8d17ba3ecdee","naruto-yandere-harem-with-gacha-system-chapter-505","naruto-yandere-harem-with-gacha-system-chapter-503",828,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fnaruto-yandere-harem-with-gacha-system-cover.jpg"]
