Fu and the other two had long been at a loss for words to describe their shock.
She asked excitedly: "Your friend is so amazing! Can I be friends with him?"
Kakashi was stunned, then slowly nodded: "Natsuki is very easy to talk to, he should agree to be your friend, and he takes good care of his friends. He became so strong to protect his friends."
"Really! That's great!"
Fu jumped up and down excitedly, like a happy little bird.
Looking at Fu like this, Kakashi subconsciously thought of Naruto.
As fellow Jinchuriki, Fu and Naruto were both optimistic and cheerful, and they didn't resent the world, which was very rare. The Leader of Taki Hidden Village must be a very good person.
Here, with the Wood Golem's relentless beating and the Kraken's constant obstruction, the Susanoo Golem was struggling.
Cracks appeared all over its body, looking like it was about to crumble.
Itachi Uchiha wasn't unable to continue supplying ocular power, but he knew it was meaningless because his Susanoo was being brutally beaten by the combined forces of the Wood Golem and the giant octopus. Continuing to maintain the Susanoo form would only be a waste of ocular power.
So he gritted his teeth and directly canceled Susanoo.
Then his Mangekyo Sharingan widened, and his right eye focused on Natsuki: "Amaterasu!"
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Natsuki was engulfed in black flames, but he wasn't flustered at all.
Another Natsuki appeared from the Wood Golem's head, holding an open scroll in his hand and placing it on the ground. He clapped his hands together and used a sealing jutsu: "Evil Sealing Method!"
With the pull of his power, the Amaterasu black flames were sealed into the scroll.
And the Natsuki who had been burning in the black flames earlier had already transformed into a stone clone, completely unharmed.
Itachi Uchiha's face was very unpleasant. He didn't expect Natsuki to be prepared for him, making him waste one use of his ocular power for nothing. He wanted to try again, but seeing Natsuki's expression, which was half-smiling and half-not, he immediately stopped the thought.
Who knows if this Natsuki is a stone clone?
Attacking again would be meaningless!
So he said: "Kisame, it seems the mission can't be completed, let's retreat."
Kisame Hoshigaki nodded silently: "Okay, retreat!"
With that said, the two of them didn't hesitate and immediately flashed away.
Natsuki and the others had no intention of pursuing them. After waiting for a while and confirming that the other party had really left, they breathed a sigh of relief.
Natsuki dispelled the Wood Golem and the Kraken. As soon as he landed, Fu enthusiastically grabbed his hand, scaring Natsuki into quickly pulling his hand back and preventing Fu from getting any closer.
Fu's expression was a little hurt: "Um, I just wanted to be friends with you, is that not allowed?"
Natsuki quickly said: "Being friends is fine, but please don't touch me. I have a girlfriend, and I'm afraid of misunderstandings."
Fu suddenly understood: "So that's it! I was too impulsive, sorry, sorry."
Saying that, she tapped her head and stuck out her tongue, looking playful and cute. It was hard to dislike her. If she wasn't a Jinchuriki, she would probably have many friends.
Fu continued to smile: "Thank you for saving me. I should introduce myself. My name is Fu, and my goal is to make a hundred friends. Natsuki has already become my friend, so are you two willing to be friends with me? What are your names?"
Kakashi scratched his head: "My name is Kakashi Hatake. Being friends, well, I guess so."
Sasuke also came back to his senses at this time. Thinking of Fu's Jinchuriki status, he felt that Itachi Uchiha or other members of the Akatsuki would definitely come after Fu again, so he nodded and agreed: "My name is Sasuke Uchiha."
"Yay! That's great! I've made three more friends!"
Fu jumped up excitedly.
Looking at Fu like this, everyone's mood improved significantly.
The two Taki Ninja who were responsible for escorting also thanked them, but their injuries were not light, so it was probably difficult to continue their journey.
Natsuki spoke at this time: "The two people who wanted to capture Fu just now are from a rogue Ninja organization called the Akatsuki. They are currently capturing Jinchuriki everywhere, and even the large Villages are on guard. Now, Fu's identity can no longer be hidden. The other party might directly attack Taki Hidden Village. You've seen their strength. At that time, the Village will definitely not be safe. I suggest you make plans early."
This...
The two Taki Ninja were conflicted at this moment.
This had completely exceeded their control.
Fu thought for a moment, then proactively said: "I can use the tailed beasts' ability to fly and return to Taki Hidden Village first to discuss with Shibuki. Shibuki should have a good solution."
Shibuki is the Leader of Taki Hidden Village. Fu trusts Shibuki like a family member, and now she can only think of Shibuki.
Moreover, she was also worried that returning to the Village would bring disaster to the Village. Rather than that, she would rather be captured herself.
Kakashi was still kind-hearted. He proactively said: "Let us escort you back. After all, we might encounter people from the Akatsuki again on the way..."
Fu gratefully said: "Thank you so much! You are truly benefactors!"
Kakashi just smiled and didn't say anything.
Suddenly, a piece of paper appeared. Natsuki quickly took the paper and looked at it, his eyes narrowing dangerously.
Sasuke leaned over to look and smiled: "Heh heh, they really didn't miss the opportunity, the Akatsuki. They actually sent people to attack Naruto's side! Natsuki, take me with you. I still have anger in my heart that hasn't been unleashed!"
"What's going on? Is there news from Tenten?"
Kakashi leaned his head over curiously and immediately frowned, "Akatsuki attack? Golden ponytail and puppet? Isn't that Deidara and Kisame Hoshigaki?"
Natsuki didn't answer, he just bit his finger and quickly formed hand seals, then pressed it on the ground: "Summoning Technique!"
Bang! A giant eagle appeared.
Natsuki said: "Kakashi-senpai, you take Fu and the others back to Taki Hidden Village on the giant eagle first. Sasuke and I will go over there to help."
Kakashi nodded: "Go ahead, with you there, I'm a little more at ease."
Natsuki waved goodbye to Fu, then clapped his hand on Sasuke's body, and they disappeared in a flash. Fu was still waving. Seeing this, her eyes immediately widened.
"Eh? Natsuki and Sasuke disappeared?"
"Yes! They went a thousand miles away!"
Rewinding time a bit, while Fu was encountering Itachi Uchiha and Kisame Hoshigaki, the Konoha team also encountered Deidara and Sasori of the Red Sand.
The two of them stood openly in front, waiting. It was impossible not to see them.
Naruto recognized the Akatsuki's clothing and immediately stopped everyone: "Stop! Everyone stop! Those two are dangerous!"
Everyone was very curious, but they did stop. They all looked at Deidara and Sasori of the Red Sand curiously, wondering how the two of them could be dangerous. After all, the Konoha side had dozens of people, including both examinees and examiners.
Even if the examinees couldn't win, the examiners could, right?
Tenten directly summoned the Dragon Eye Telescopic Sword and the Infinite Hole Armor, and held the Lightning Blade: Fang in her hands. She shouted loudly: "Shino! Neji! Shikamaru! The opponents are from the Akatsuki, their strength is only stronger, not weaker. You must not be careless!"
Akatsuki? Many people heard this for the first time.
But Shino, Neji, and Shikamaru knew a lot of secrets. They subconsciously glanced at Naruto and also became extremely cautious.
