Naruto: Fire-Release system

Chapter 151: The Akatsuki Members Each Find Their Match

The aftermath of the explosion left Minato Namikaze's Edo Tensei body heavily damaged. While his body worked to regenerate, he realized that his attack had little to no effect on the Gedo Statue.

As the smoke cleared, Minato saw the statue still standing intact, exuding an aura of dread.

What troubled him even more was the sight of the chains from the Gedo Statue extending toward him. His body was still regenerating, and he couldn't move. A sense of foreboding overwhelmed him.

He instinctively knew that if the chains touched him, something terrible would happen. Yet, in his current state, he could do nothing but watch.

"Kamui!"

Just as Minato was about to be struck, Kakashi intervened. Using a jutsu to momentarily repel other enemies, he then activated his Mangekyō Sharingan.

With precision and force, Kakashi's Kamui distorted the space around the chains, severing them in an instant.

The attack successfully interrupted the Gedo Statue's assault, buying Minato enough time to finish regenerating.

"Curse you, Kakashi!"

Uchiha Obito's expression darkened. Once again, Kakashi had interfered with his plans.

Obito clenched his teeth, regretting that he hadn't dealt with Kakashi's Sharingan sooner. He knew that as long as Kakashi's Kamui remained in play, his own powers would be significantly restricted.

Obito decided he couldn't let this continue. While leaving the Gedo Statue to attack the others, Obito used Kamui to slip into his pocket dimension.

Moments later, he reappeared behind Kakashi.

Sensing someone behind him, Kakashi instinctively spun around, gripping a kunai to strike.

His attack passed harmlessly through Obito's intangible body.

"Still as sharp as ever, Kakashi," Obito sneered.

Obito's hand became tangible as he reached out to grab Kakashi's shoulder. Before Kakashi could react, he felt the space around him begin to distort—Obito was using Kamui to drag him into his dimension.

Kakashi found himself unable to move, caught in Obito's jutsu. His Sharingan glowed as he began to strategize his next move.

On another part of the battlefield, Chiyo confronted her grandson, Sasori.

"Chain Blades!"

Chiyo extended chakra strings, which connected to a line of kunai. With a flick of her wrists, the kunai shot forward like bullets, aimed directly at Sasori.

Sasori, calm and composed, maneuvered his puppet, Hiruko, to block the incoming projectiles. Hiruko's tail lashed out, deflecting the kunai with ease.

The surrounding Sand Village shinobi watched in horror. Sasori's grotesque modifications, including his scorpion-like tail, were unlike anything they had seen before.

"What... what is that? Is that even human?"

"No," Chiyo said solemnly. "That's not Sasori's true body. That's just his puppet armor."

"Come out and face me, Sasori!"

Sasori chuckled darkly from within Hiruko.

"Grandmother, do you know how this puppet was made? First, the organs are removed. Then the skin is carefully preserved, the blood drained, and preservatives applied. Once mechanisms are added, a human puppet is born."

"This is my art—eternal, unchanging, immortal!"

Chiyo's heart ached at Sasori's words.

"Sasori... I'll stop you, even if it means breaking you into pieces!"

Chiyo called upon her own puppets, while her brother Ebizō joined her side. Together, they prepared to fight Sasori with all their strength.

Meanwhile, at another battlefield, Deidara faced off against his former mentor, Ōnoki, the Tsuchikage.

Deidara had long since abandoned the Stone Village in pursuit of his artistic ideals. Now, he stood against his former teacher, eager to prove the superiority of his explosive art.

"Deidara, I'm giving you one last chance!" Ōnoki's voice was firm. "Surrender now and return to the Stone Village. Otherwise, I'll have no choice but to bring you back by force."

"Save your breath, old man!" Deidara sneered.

"My art isn't meant to be caged in some backwater village! One day, the entire world will witness the beauty of my explosions!"

"Enough nonsense!"

Ōnoki's patience wore thin. He formed a hand sign, summoning a cube of energy into his palms.

"Dust Release: Detachment of the Primitive World Technique!"

The translucent cube shot forward, traveling at incredible speed. If it hit, it would disintegrate its target on a molecular level.

Knowing how deadly this technique was, Deidara immediately jumped from his clay bird, narrowly avoiding the attack.

"You're serious, huh, old man?"

Ōnoki's gaze hardened.

"Deidara, you've left me no choice."

The battlefield was chaos. Members of the Akatsuki faced off against their counterparts from the ninja alliance.

Kisame Hoshigaki clashed with Might Guy in a deadly dance of taijutsu and overwhelming chakra.

Hidan, wielding his blood-soaked scythe, faced off against the Ino-Shika-Chō trio, their teamwork pushing his immortality to its limits.

Kakuzu unleashed his monstrous tendrils, battling fiercely against Darui and Samui from the Cloud Village.

Each Akatsuki member fought with deadly precision, testing the limits of their opponents' abilities.

Obito's Kamui continued to pull Kakashi into his pocket dimension.

"You've caused me enough trouble, Kakashi," Obito said coldly.

But Kakashi's Mangekyō Sharingan glowed brighter.

"Let's settle this once and for all, Obito!"

As the two friends-turned-enemies disappeared into the Kamui dimension, their battle became a clash of ideologies, rooted in the choices they had made in the past.

The Fourth Great Ninja War was in full swing, and its outcome would shape the future of the ninja world.

To Be Continued...
