Chapter 551: Goodbye Partner
On the morning of the fourth day, three days after the ritual began, it entered its final stage.
— The enemy is very close.
Everyone already knew that their enemy was within five kilometers of the cave.
— Annoying flies... Kisame seemed to want to rush over to them.
— Don't worry about them, we have serious insurance. If it doesn't work, Byakuya, Deidara, and Sasori will stop them.
Su Xiao's group was in the cave, while everyone else was only present in the cave thanks to their phantoms.
— Well.
At the final stage of the ritual the Outer Path Demonic Statue became active and the sealing speed increased dramatically.
As the last ray of red chakra shot out from Gaara's body, the statue's mouth closed and Gaara's body fell to the ground.
With a thud, Gaara's sand armor flew off his body, and with its disappearance, the life left his body.
The fifth Kazekage, Gaara, has died.
— That's all, " Payne said, and breathed a sigh of relief. Although it was dangerous, they managed to perform the ritual.
— Damn it, my shoulders are really aching.
— So tiring, but we'll have to repeat it a few more times... What a headache that is.
All the Akatsuki members looked relaxed.
— Thank you for participating.
*BOOM!*
As Payne finished speaking, the cave entrance shuddered.
— Surprisingly, they sent jinchuuriki here... Payne said and looked at Su Xiao's group. — I'll leave it to the three of you. As for this jinchuuriki... If you can, grab him. If not, just leave. It's too early to try to seal the Kyuubi.
Payne's phantom was gone, and so were all the other phantoms.
*Boom*
The Demonic Statue of the Outer Path turned into white smoke and disappeared.
— Hey, that's too disrespectful, they're already on our doorstep, and they are... Deidara muttered and sighed. He hadn't been able to rest these three days.
— We were just unlucky. You shouldn't have come here in person, " Sasori said in a very strange tone.
*BOOM-BOOM!*
People outside the cave were trying to break through the cave entrance.
The faces of the three people in the cave didn't change. This cave was protected by a barrier of five seals. The so-called five seal barrier consisted of the same seal being placed in different locations. As long as these five seals weren't broken at the same time, it wouldn't be destroyed.
This barrier was set up by Nagato, and this barrier had one secret that could help Su Xiao and the others hold off the enemies outside the cave.
----
At this moment Kakashi and seven other people were standing outside the cave.
Standing outside were Guy, Neji Hyuga, Rock Lee, Tenten, Kakashi, Naruto, Haruno Sakura, and one person from Hidden Sand Village, Chiyo.
— To break this barrier, we need to break five seals at the same time, Neji.".
Neji immediately folded the hand seals with both hands. "Byakugan," the blood vessels at Neji's temples bulged, and his pupils transformed. Neji quickly revealed the positions of the five seals.
Kakashi hesitated for a moment, but soon looked at Guy. There were four people in Guy's group, and with their help, they would be able to break these seals.
— Guy's group immediately entered the game.
Inside the cave, Su Xiao and his companions could vaguely hear the conversations outside.
— Here they are.
The pink-haired girl burst into the cave. She was wearing black gloves.
— Not bad.
Deidara and Sasori flanked Gaara's body. Su Xiao was sitting on a large rock not far from them, and Bubtney was sitting near that rock and looking at the entrance with interest.
The four figures were inside the cave in the blink of an eye. They were Kakashi, Chiyo, Naruto, and Sakura.
As for Guy's group, they were held back by the seal Nagato had placed on them. They won't be able to participate in the battle for a while yet.
Kakashi quickly looked around the cave, and when he saw Gaara's body, his expression didn't look very good.
— You're late.
Naruto, seeing Gaara's body, fell into a stupor for a moment.
His teeth started to get sharper, and his two pupils changed their color to blood-red.
— You bastards!
Naruto lost control of his emotions and the tailed thing in his body started to get the better of him.
— I think that's what we were told about, " Deidara said, looking at Naruto.
Naruto and Gaara were both jinchuuriki, and they both had a very tragic childhood. All things considered, it was a given that they had become close friends.
— This guy is a nine — tailed jinchuuriki, " Su Xiao said.
Sasori didn't say anything and looked calmly at Chiyo, his own grandmother.
*Pum-pum~*
Deidara patted Gaara's face and looked at Naruto with a smile on his face.
— Leave him alone, you bastard! Naruto immediately kicked off the ground and ran at full speed towards Deidara.
— Deidara, don't annoy jinchuuriki, he will be very difficult to deal with — " Su Xiao said as he stood up and pulled Dragon Flash out of its scabbard.
— Naruto, calm down, it's a trap! Kakashi immediately stepped in front of Naruto and stopped him, then stared at Su Xiao. "The enemy wants you to lose your mind.
— Naruto was taken aback, but the blood-red color in his pupils began to recede a little.
— Deidara, if you wanted to make him angry, then you had to chop off the head of that corpse, then he would definitely pounce on you, " Su Xiao said regretfully. If Naruto dared to take a few more steps, even if Kakashi helped him, Naruto would definitely give them at least one "souvenir", if not one huge gift.
— Deidara, " Sasori said suddenly.
— What?
— After thinking for a while, Sasori looked at Gaara and said — " Nine-Tails seems to be very eager to get this corpse.
— Deidara looked at Naruto with a smile on his face. - Sasori's brother.
Sasori looked at Deidara suspiciously.
— Although you may not be happy, but... Leave the Nine-tailed one to me.
— What? You and Byakuya have already caught one, Byakuya, what do you say?
— Don't look at me, you two can do whatever you want.
Su Xiao didn't want to attract Kakashi's attention just yet. It was too dangerous right now.
As a result, Deidara took Gaara's body and ran out of the cave, after which he sat on his bird and began to fly away.
Kakashi and Naruto immediately gave chase.
Now there are only four people and one dog left in the cave.
Su Xiao, Sasori, Chiyo and Sakura...
— Byakuya, I'll handle everything, " Sasori said.
— Don't you want me to kill her for you?" Su Xiao asked and pointed at Sakura. He was the perfect opponent for fighters like Sakura.
— Thanks, but no need.
— Okay then, Sasori... Goodbye, " Su Xiao said and walked out of the cave.
— Goodbye, you are much more reliable than Deidara, you are a good partner.
