"No!" Karin immediately shook her head and said, "I don't have anything to talk to someone like you. I just want to wait here quietly for Sa
"No!"
Karin immediately shook her head and said, "I don't have anything to talk to someone like you. I just want to wait here quietly for Sasuke to come back, and you don't look like a good person at first glance."
"You seem to have some misunderstanding."
Ritsu's expression suddenly turned cold. While slowly drawing out his Zanpakutō, he looked at Karin and said coldly, "I'm not discussing with you. I'm ordering you to come over."
Swish! Swish!
Jūgo and Suigetsu Hōzuki immediately stood in front of Karin. The two of them took a fighting stance and looked at Ritsu, saying nervously, "Do you want to go to war with our Hebi team? Karin is just a support personnel. If you want to fight, we'll fight with you."
Swish!
As soon as the two finished speaking, Ritsu had disappeared from the rock and instantly appeared behind Suigetsu and Jūgo. The whole process took less than 0.5 seconds.
Jūgo and Suigetsu reacted suddenly, looked back at Ritsu standing behind them, widened their eyes in horror, and said, "So fast…"
Ritsu ignored the two and reached out to grab Karin, who was full of fear.
"Don't touch Karin!"
Jūgo yelled, then raised his fist and smashed it hard at Ritsu's back.
But Ritsu didn't even turn his head. Instead, he pointed his right palm at Jūgo behind him and whispered, "Hadō No. 33, Sōkatsui (Blue Fire Crash)."
With a bang, Jūgo's fist hadn't touched Ritsu yet, but a spirit particle light ball shot out from Ritsu's palm, hitting Jūgo's shoulder heavily and then exploding.
Jūgo flew backward, leaving a gully more than ten meters long on the ground, and didn't stop until he hit a tree. His upper body clothes were torn, and thick smoke was still coming out of his body.
"Jūgo!"
Suigetsu was stunned, then quickly ran to Jūgo, squatted down, and looked at him worriedly, saying, "Hey, are you okay?"
"No, it's okay."
Jūgo gritted his teeth and climbed up. His chest was sunken, and at least a few ribs were broken. He covered his chest and looked at Ritsu in the distance with wide eyes, saying, "I was careless, but this guy used ninjutsu without even making a hand seal. A ninjutsu without a hand seal? And it's so powerful?"
Ritsu ignored Jūgo and looked at Karin, whose face was pale with fear in front of him, and said, "I remember your name is Uzumaki Karin. Your physique is very interesting. I can recover from my injuries just by biting you, right?"
Karin was stunned, then asked in surprise and fear, "You, how did you know?"
"Don't worry about why I know this."
Ritsu said with interest, "You just follow me from now on. Maybe I can use you in the future."
"Ah, ah?"
Karin was stunned, then quickly shook her head and said, "Impossible! I want to follow Sasuke! I will not be the companion of a stranger like you. I am not a casual woman."
"I'll repeat it again."
Ritsu looked at her coldly and said, "I am not negotiating with you. This is an order. If you don't agree, I will break your arms and legs and take you back. Anyway, you don't need to be able to move. You are just a medical kit for emergency use."
Feeling the astonishing murderous intent from Ritsu, Karin immediately had tears in her eyes. She said aggrievedly, "Why… I finally escaped from Orochimaru. Can't I follow whoever I want to follow? Why do you all force me to do things I don't like?!"
"The weak are not qualified to choose their own destiny, but I'm not in a hurry to take you back now."
Ritsu looked toward the direction of the stronghold and said thoughtfully, "Let's wait until Uchiha Itachi's matter is over."
Five hours later, the sky had changed from afternoon to evening.
During this period, there were many movements at the Uchiha stronghold, such as Sasuke's Lightning Release: Kirin, which directly blew up the stronghold, then Uchiha Itachi's Amaterasu, which burned all the nearby forests, and then Uchiha Itachi's red Susanoo, which almost destroyed the surrounding terrain.
After five hours of fierce fighting, everything returned to calm. This… battle was declared over.
Ritsu and Kisame were sitting on a stone that was not affected by Amaterasu's black fire, waiting, while the three members of the Hebi team were hiding aside, trembling.
Looking at the disappearing red Susanoo, Kisame said seriously, "It seems to be over. Uchiha Sasuke and Mr. Itachi have been fighting for so long, and I don't know who won."
As soon as he finished speaking, White Zetsu came over from the stronghold carrying a person. He threw the person on the ground. It was Uchiha Sasuke, who had fainted and was in a miserable state.
Seeing him, Kisame's heart sank, and he asked with a slightly trembling voice, "Why is it him? Where is Mr. Itachi?"
"Dead."
White Zetsu said with mixed emotions, "It's surprising, right? Uchiha Itachi lost to his brother, and Uchiha Sasuke is the final winner."
Hearing this, Kisame stared and growled in disbelief, "Impossible! How could Mr. Itachi lose to such a brat! He can't even match one of Mr. Itachi's fingers!"
White Zetsu explained helplessly, "Uchiha Itachi's body seems to have a lot of problems. He made a lot of low-level mistakes in the battle and couldn't even dodge the most common shuriken. Uchiha Itachi didn't lose in strength but in illness."
"Let him die."
Ritsu beside him asked expressionlessly, "Then what are you going to do with Uchiha Sasuke?"
White Zetsu thought for a while and said, "Uchiha Sasuke killed Uchiha Itachi, and the organization is short of a man. So, let's take Sasuke back to the organization and let the leader take care of it. Maybe he'll be recruited to join the organization. This is what the leader has told us in advance."
"You want to take Sasuke away?"
Hearing this, the three members of the Hebi team next to them immediately became unhappy.
"Any questions?"
White Zetsu asked.
"We will never let you take Sasuke away casually!"
The three of them immediately stepped forward to block the unconscious Sasuke. Suigetsu grabbed the handle of the Kubikiribōchō and said, "If you want to touch Sasuke, you must step over our bodies first!"
"You think too highly of yourself."
White Zetsu looked at him coldly and said, "Mr. Ritsu is right here. It's just a thought for him to kill you. It's meaningless to say that he'll step over your corpses. It'll only make people laugh."
"Funny?"
Suigetsu drew out his Kubikiribōchō, looked at Ritsu fiercely, and said, "Then you try it! My sword also happens to be thirsty for human blood!"
Ritsu looked at him, said nothing, and directly released his spiritual pressure.
Boom!!
The overwhelming pressure swept over, and the air nearby trembled slightly. A pressure from the soul rushed into the minds of the three members of the Hebi team.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The three members of the Hebi team knelt down directly. They were pale and sweated all over, as if a huge rock was pressing on their backs. Suigetsu said with a ferocious face, "My body is so heavy. What's going on?…"
Ritsu ignored him, turned around, and left, saying, "Take them all back. There's no point in killing these people. This farce is over. It's really boring. I wouldn't have come if I had known."
"Yes, Mr. Ritsu."
White Zetsu nodded, then looked at the three people kneeling on the ground and said jokingly, "Mr. Ritsu is the most powerful person in the organization. You should be thankful that he didn't kill you. Otherwise, none of you three would survive."
The three people, Suigetsu, Jūgo, and Karin, didn't speak—or they couldn't speak. Their souls were already suffocated, and Karin even showed signs of fainting.
"So pitiful."
White Zetsu shook his head mockingly, then carried the unconscious Sasuke on his shoulders, caught up with Ritsu, and followed Ritsu back to the direction of the Land of Rain.
A week had passed since the battle.
Uchiha Sasuke was brought back to Amegakure, and then Obito and Uchiha Sasuke had a private discussion.
Now, all the members of Akatsuki had gathered in the hall on the first floor, and the three members of the Hebi team were also here.
There were two rows of sofas in the hall. The members of Akatsuki sat on the sofas on the left, and the three members of the Hebi team sat on the sofas on the right.
The two groups of people just stared at each other, and the atmosphere was a bit inexplicably weird.
"Are these three guys the teammates that Uchiha Sasuke recruited? And then they relied on this so-called Hebi team to kill Uchiha Itachi?"
Kakuzu looked at Karin and the other two coldly and said contemptuously, "They're just three little brats who haven't even grown all their hair yet. They're just playing ninja house by imitating others to set up an organization."
"Hey! What did you say!"
Suigetsu stood up and prepared to refute. Karin quickly pulled him back and said nervously in a low voice, "Suigetsu, don't mess around. These guys are all vicious rogue ninjas. Look at them—they look like evil spirits. Let's not cause any trouble."
Hearing this, Suigetsu glanced at all the members of the Akatsuki organization. After seeing the wolf-like expressions of these people, he timidly swallowed his saliva, then sat down silently and admitted his cowardice.
"These three people are somewhat special."
Sasori said, "Although I'm not sure, this red-haired woman seems to be a descendant of the Uzumaki Clan."
"The Uzumaki Clan?"
Deidara immediately said, "The ninjas from the Land of Whirlpools that were completely destroyed a long time ago? I thought the clan with that bloodline had disappeared. In that case, it is indeed a rare bloodline ninja."
"And that one."
Kisame looked at Suigetsu with interest and said, "The descendants of the Hōzuki Clan, although they're not wealthy, their family background is also very impressive."
"It seems that Uchiha Sasuke has a good eye. Although these people aren't very powerful, they're not ordinary."
Hidan teased.
Just after saying a few words, the door to the basement was pushed open, and Obito brought Uchiha Sasuke to everyone.
Seeing Sasuke, Karin immediately rushed forward and asked worriedly, "Sasuke, are you okay? Did they do anything to you?"
"It's okay."
Uchiha Sasuke sat down on the sofa with a very arrogant look and said in a cool and awesome way, "From today on, I've decided to join your so-called Akatsuki organization."
