I Punch the Tailed Beast Ball

”How is it? Have you come to realize my absolute power? As we agreed, you’ll have to join Akatsuki. Our door is open for you, and there is a place for you there.”

Pain said as he quietly looked at Kakuzu, who was kneeling on the ground.

”Hu...hu....” Kakuzu took a deep breath and looked at Pain.

He did not expect that a person dressed in such a fancy way would be this strong.

”If I follow someone like you, I think I will have more opportunities to fight against people with high bounty. I am joining.” Kakuzu said in a deep voice and stood up.

If he did not agree, Kakuzu felt that he would meet his end here.

’Akatsuki, huh? Let me see what kind of organization it is. If it is interesting, I may as well join.’ Kakuzu thought in his heart.

”Very well. Let’s go! I will take you to our organization’s base. It is a bit far since it is not in this country.” Pain nodded and walked in Amegakure’s direction.

Kakuzu quickly followed. Petty tricks were useless in front of a truly strong individual anyway.

”Hehe, the recruitment went very smoothly.” Zetsu let out a strange laugh.

Pain, Konan, Zetsu, along with Musashi, and Kakuzu, if Konan successfully recruited Sasori, they would have six people.

They had more and more people, and Zetsu was so close to making his dream come true. It had been thousands of years and he was finally going to successfully revive his mother.

As long as his mother was revived, all the Give Great Shinobi Countries would be useless.

However, he indeed had to pay attention to Fujiwara Nagasawa from Konoha. He might have reached the same level as Madara Uchiha and Hashirama Senju. He had to find a way to deal with him. Otherwise, capturing Nine-Tails would be a problem.

...

In the heavy sandstorm, two people wearing black robes were walking. They were Musashi and Konan, who were on their way to recruit Sasori of the Red Sand.

”Have you been to Land of Wind before, white? That place must be really good for training, huh? We’re not even there yet and look at this weather! The sandstorm in Land of Wind must be even worse.” Musashi said to Konan.

Their current location was the west of Land of Rivers, which was also the border of Land of Wind.

Musashi actually wanted to call Konan by her name, but when he did, Konan would stare at him with a murderous cold gaze.

Musashi knew that Konan didn’t like him calling her with her real name, so he just called her by her codename, which was White Tiger or White for short.

After some digging, Musashi discovered that Konan was not the evil villain he thought she was. She was just a woman who didn’t want to voice her own opinion and was relatively cold.

He was still investigating for now as he hadn’t found much.

There was still no news of the masked man until now as if he did not exist at all.

”I don’t know. I haven’t been there.” Konan said coldly.

Konan felt that she alone was enough. She could easily crush a puppeteer like the Sasori of the Red Sand on her own.

Bringing Musashi would waste even more time because Musashi couldn’t resist the urge to challenge the people he deemed strong.

”That’s really cold, but I can sense a strong aura. I wonder if it is the person we’re looking for.”

Konan just ignored the fact that Musashi said that she was cold, but when she heard that there their target was nearby, Konan directly used Dance of the Shikigami, forming a huge pair of wings with a large amount of paper behind her.

Konan flew with her huge white wings to the direction that Musashi pointed.

Musashi also did not want to fall behind. He took this as a competition of speed. He slightly bent his legs and released his Chakra. He instantly burst out with extreme speed and rushed forward.

After seeing the red figure walking slowly in this sandstorm, Musashi stopped.

At this time, Konan also arrived. She stood on a tall stone and looked down at Sasori.

”Sasori of the Red Sand, join Akatsuki! we need your strength.” Konan said in a calm and commanding manner.

This condescending yet indifferent attitude made Sasori a little upset.

He had even assassinated the Third Kazekage, who was known as the strongest Kazekage in history, and this random organization that he have had never even heard of tried to recruit him like they were some big shot.

”What kind of organization is it? Why have I never heard of it?” Sasori smiled and secretly took out the scroll that was used to store his Third Kazekage puppet.

Although this organization was not famous, he was very interested in the Shinobi who could fly with paper wings. He felt that she should make a good puppet.

”Akatsuki is an organization that takes in missing-nin like you. As long as you do what we told you, we will provide you with protection.”

Konan explained, then slowly descended and landed in front of Musashi.

”Hehe, it sounds pretty good, but I think I can protect myself.” Sasori smiled and took out the Third Kazekage puppet.

Konan was not surprised. If it were that easy to convince this guy, he would not be a missing-nin in the first place.

Just as Konan was about to make a move, Musashi stepped in and said, ”Let me do it, White. You can just keep an eye on him in case he pulls off a trick to escape.”

There were not many opportunities to fight against such a skilled opponent, so he had to grasp the opportunity.

Konan thought about it and felt that it was fine, so she nodded.

However, she held back her hand and spread the paper in all directions so that she could attack at any time in case there was an accident.

”Aren’t you going to attack together?” Sasori quickly opened the scroll and summoned the Third Kazekage puppet. He felt that he had been underestimated.

Sa!

The Third Kazekage puppet suddenly brandished two large blades from his arms, and under Sasori’s control, he quickly attacked Musashi.

Musashi’s eyes were filled with excitement, and he quickly pulled out two large blades. Chakra erupted, and he also slashed the Third Hokage.

Dang!

The four blades collided, and the Third Kazekage’s blade was cut by Musashi’s blade.

Swish!

Musashi, who had the advantage, once again slashed the Third Kazekage.

Seeing Musashi’s attack was quite heavy, Sasori could not help but frown. His fingers began to frantically control the human puppet to dodge Musashi’s attack.

’I’m quite in luck. I actually encountered two good materials on the way.’ Sasori thought in his heart.

Although he was overwhelmed, Sasori did not think that he would lose.

The most essential part of his Third Kazekage puppet was that it could use its specialty when he was alive.

Sasori first controlled the Third Kazekage puppet to retreat a little then immediately used his Magnet Release. He summoned a large amount of Iron Sand to form a sharp pyramid and fired it at Musashi.

When Musashi saw the Iron Sand pyramid, he did not dodge. Instead, he charged forward fiercely.

Back then, he might have avoided it. However, after the battle with Pain, he awakened an ability.

That ability could envelop his body or sword, increasing its power.

Musashi gripped the hilt of his sword tightly and activated his ability. The white blade quickly turned black.

Swish!

Two rays of green light flashed, and the Iron Sand pyramid was instantly disintegrated. At the same time, all the power in Musashi’s body erupted.

”Twin Sword Style: Wind Kill!”

Musashi dished out dozens of compressed air blade at the Third Kazekage.
