Chapter 626

An electrified water dragon roared and flew out.

The two dragons collided, instantly creating a large amount of chaotic chakra.

After a moment of stalemate, the water dragon smashed through the lightning dragon.

"How is this possible?"

Raiga Kurosuki's eyes widened.

"Raiga!"

Ranmaru shouted anxiously.

"I see it!"

Raiga Kurosuki crossed his twin blades, summoned a bolt of lightning from the sky, and defeated the remaining water dragon.

"Not that!"

Ranmaru said again.

Body Flicker Jutsu!

Kitazawa was like an arrow released from a bow, arriving in front of Raiga Kurosuki in an instant.

Super Strength!

He threw a punch with his right hand.

Raiga Kurosuki had just used a Lightning Style jutsu and was forced to block with his twin blades.

Ranmaru also activated his Red Eye ability to interfere with Kitazawa's chakra.

With a boom!

Raiga Kurosuki was sent flying.

Just like before, although he was injured, it wasn't serious.

"Hahaha!"

Raiga Kurosuki climbed up and said, "I have Ranmaru, Itachi are doomed to die!"

With Ranmaru there, although he was at a disadvantage, he still had means of counterattack.

As long as he seized the opportunity, he might not be unable to turn defeat into victory.

"Is that so?"

Kitazawa chuckled and performed hand seals.

Darkness Technique!

In an instant, all light was snatched away.

"Ranmaru, where is he?"

Raiga Kurosuki looked around and found everything pitch black.

"I... I can't see!"

Fear permeated Ranmaru's voice.

Since he awakened the Red Eye, such a thing had never happened before.

"W... what?"

Raiga Kurosuki's body stiffened, and panic arose in his heart.

He was not Kitazawa's match to begin with, and now that he had lost Ranmaru as his eyes, the only result awaiting him was death.

Raiga Kurosuki gritted his teeth and turned to run.

He had no intention of fighting to the death.

When facing Might Dai, he had also been the fastest to run.

As long as there was no hope of victory, he would not hesitate.

"He's coming!"

Ranmaru suddenly saw a blurry shadow.

"Where?"

Raiga Kurosuki asked instinctively.

"I... I don't know!"

Ranmaru tried hard to widen his eyes, but the blurry shadow had already disappeared.

"Damn it!"

In his desperation, Raiga Kurosuki plunged his twin blades into the ground.

Lightning surged out, and his vision recovered slightly.

But what followed was the flash of a blade.

"Itachi..."

Raiga Kurosuki lowered his head and saw Kitazawa's ninja sword piercing his heart.

This time, because Ranmaru couldn't see, the Red Eye couldn't take effect, causing him to fail to avoid this fatal spot.

Kitazawa didn't hesitate at all, pulled out his sword, and cut off his head.

He remembered that Raiga Kurosuki had a suicide Lightning Style jutsu with terrifying power.

Therefore, he wouldn't give him any chance.

"No!"

Ranmaru's eyes were about to split, and he shouted loudly, "Raiga!"

Kitazawa knocked him unconscious with a single hand strike.

Because Ranmaru possessed an extremely heaven-defying ability: resurrection.

However, looking at the original work, the cost was quite high, consuming all his power and turning him into an ordinary person from then on.

It was an ability that could only be used once in a lifetime.

Kitazawa rubbed his chin.

Ranmaru was truly devoted to Raiga Kurosuki and was willing to go to the underworld with him.

But dying just like that would be a waste of the Red Eye.

Kitazawa decided to take him back and hand him over to Yakumo Kurama.

After clearing Ranmaru's memories of Raiga Kurosuki, he would let him go to the Leaf Orphanage.

Kitazawa's gaze suddenly sharpened.

He looked up and saw Konan, who looked like an angel flapping her wings in mid-air.

In front of him was Juzo Biwa, who looked horrified.

He held the decapitating blade, the Executioner's Blade, and dared not step forward.

After all, he couldn't beat Raiga Kurosuki, who had died at Kitazawa's hands.

If it weren't for Konan, he would definitely have turned around and run.

Facing a ninja stronger than himself, staying behind would be losing his mind.

"We have no malice."

Konan descended from the sky and said, "We are just a ninja organization that does things for money."

The Akatsuki organization currently didn't have enough members or startup funds, so they were disguised as a mercenary organization.

And in the underground black market, they had an excellent reputation because the Akatsuki organization had no record of failure.

"Itachi know Super Strength?"

Konan asked again.

"Your eyesight is good."

Kitazawa raised an eyebrow, hearing the goodwill in her tone.

But he could also understand the reason.

Because Konan, Nagato, and Yahiko were Jiraiya's students.

They had also seen Tsunade during the Second Shinobi World War.

Kitazawa knowing Super Strength meant he had a connection to Tsunade.

Before the Akatsuki organization's Eye of the Moon Plan was launched, the Akatsuki organization wouldn't be enemies with the Five Great Shinobi Villages.

Konan also wasn't completely blackened like Nagato and still retained emotions and reason.

Regardless of the situation, she had no reason to fight Kitazawa now.

"The reputation of the Leaf's Legendary Sannin is known throughout the ninja world."

Konan explained, "Our original goal was to recruit Raiga Kurosuki, but since he is already dead, that's the end of it."

"My name is Kitazawa."

Kitazawa introduced himself, "I am considered a student of Lady Tsunade."

"I see."

A subtle feeling arose in Konan's heart.

In terms of relationship, they were still fellow disciples.

Juzo Biwa was very puzzled upon hearing this.

Why wasn't Tsunade's student a medical ninja?

But he knew that after this battle, Kitazawa would inevitably become famous.

"I am Konan of the Akatsuki organization, codename White Tiger."

Konan paused and said, "The Akatsuki organization accepts any high-difficulty commission; if Itachi have one, Itachi can find us at the Exchange Center."

The Exchange Center, which was the underground black market.

Its nature was similar to the mission hall of the Hidden Leaf Village, providing a place for ninjas, especially rogue ninjas, to accept missions.

But these missions didn't conform to the rules of the Five Great Shinobi Villages because there were many bounty missions.

For example, Asuma Sarutobi had a bounty of 35 million ryo in the underground black market.

Who established the Exchange Center wasn't mentioned in the original work.

But the early funding of the Akatsuki organization relied on the Exchange Center.

Akatsuki member Kakuzu was a famous regular at the Exchange Center.

"If I have a need, I will find Itachi."

Kitazawa said with a wry smile.

"See Itachi next time."

Konan didn't say another word and turned to leave.

Juzo Biwa breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly followed.

Kitazawa watched them go.

He turned around, took out a summoning storage scroll, and put Raiga Kurosuki's corpse inside.

Kitazawa picked up the Lightning Blades: Fangs, examined them for a moment, and put them away.

The Lightning Blades: Fangs were quite valuable, especially the lightning-conducting function, which was very suitable for Lightning Style ninjas and could save a large amount of chakra.

Although Kitazawa wasn't a Lightning Style ninja, he also knew Lightning Style, so he could use this blade.

Moreover, he discovered that the Lightning Blades: Fangs and Lightning Style: Kirin were a perfect match.

With the Lightning Blades: Fangs, he wouldn't have to be like Sasuke Uchiha, who had to use Fire Style: Great Dragon Fire Technique to create suitable lightning weather.
