Chapter 205: Run When You See Susano'o?

Kakuzu hadn't even used his secret techniques yet. Relying solely on his powerful Taijutsu and some regular Ninjutsu, he had already beaten Utatane Koharu into this state.

Seeing the Kubikiribocho, Kakuzu knew that Biwa Juzo had fallen.

The next second, Yan walked out carrying Biwa Juzo's corpse.

"Kakashi, Shisui, the elder is injured and needs immediate treatment."

The two who were still fighting were startled, quickly disengaging from their opponents and rushing towards Yan.

When they saw Utatane Koharu with a large hole in her chest, her condition worsening, their expressions changed. Things seemed to be getting complicated.

Panting heavily, Sasori also came to Kakuzu's side.

Seeing Yan holding Biwa Juzo, Sasori didn't react much.

He didn't expect Biwa Juzo to fall into Yan's hands in such a short time.

Fortunately, they had also gained something. The advisor elder of Konohagakure seemed to be in a dire state.

Unless she received immediate treatment, she might still have a chance to survive, but they didn't have the means.

Yan, Shisui, and Kakashi didn't understand medical Ninjutsu and could only watch helplessly.

"Immediately take the advisor elder to the Land of Iron for treatment. Shisui, you protect the transport team and escort them into the Land of Iron. I'll hold them off."

"Yes."

With Yan's order, Shisui didn't hesitate, carrying Biwa Juzo's corpse and running towards the transport team.

Kakashi picked up Utatane Koharu, his expression hesitant.

The Akatsuki members were not weak. With Biwa Juzo dead, there were still Kakuzu, Sasori, and this strong Taijutsu user. Could Yan hold them off?

"Go!"

"Yes!"

Urged on, Kakashi had no choice but to carry Utatane Koharu and run towards the Land of Iron without looking back.

"I didn't say you could leave."

Kakuzu wouldn't just let his soon-to-be money slip away; he was determined to get Utatane Koharu's head!

Just as Kakuzu was about to stop them, his eyelids twitched twice, and he turned around in surprise to see Yan's Three Tomoe Sharingan spinning rapidly.

"Boom!!!"

The surging chakra cracked the ground, and a golden, flaming skeletal structure enveloped Yan.

A giant hand made of golden bones came down on the three of them.

What is this thing?

Kakuzu, who had seen a lot, realized something because it looked quite familiar.

"Magnet Release: Iron Sand!!"

Sasori controlled the Third Kazekage, raising a large amount of iron sand to form a thick wall. The thick iron sand wall protected the three of them, meeting Susano'o head-on.

"Rumble!!!"

The ground kept shaking, dirt and stones flew everywhere, and a large cloud of dust was kicked up.

"This is Susano'o! Retreat!!"

Kakuzu didn't expect Yan to already have the Mangekyou Sharingan and be able to use Susano'o so skillfully.

What is Susano'o? Modern ninjas might not know!

But Kakuzu was different!

He was an old-timer from the same era as Senju Hashirama.

Senju Hashirama's strength was recognized in the ninja world, and even such a powerful ninja god had an opponent, Uchiha Madara.

Kakuzu didn't want to risk his life testing Susano'o's strength, even if he had many lives.

Losing a life here wasn't worth it.

At most, it would just be a failed mission, nothing more.

As for Biwa Juzo, he was dead, and it wasn't anyone else's fault. Kakuzu, who was ruthless enough to kill his own teammates, wouldn't sympathize with others.

Sasori glanced at the puppet's transformed arm, silently put the puppet away, and followed Kakuzu.

They're running away?

Watching the enemy retreat, Yan had no intention of pursuing.

What puzzled him was that the three of them retreated too decisively. He had wanted to test Susano'o's strength more, but they didn't cooperate.

He informed the transport team to take a detour into the Land of Iron. Shisui, feeling uneasy, decided to return.

When he returned, he happened to see Yan using Susano'o to force Kakuzu and the others to retreat.

"I didn't expect the elder to have the same eyes."

Shisui's eyes were complicated.

In his impression, Yan was strong, but his Sharingan was at the Three Tomoe level. Who would have thought Yan already had the Mangekyou?

"Not as early as you. Besides, it's best to hide trump cards when you can. You're not very good at that."

Shisui immediately showed an embarrassed expression.

Some things in the past, even if he regretted them, it was too late. There was no medicine for regret in the world.

"Although it's very powerful, it consumes a lot of eye power. Unless necessary, try not to use Mangekyou's power, especially your Kotoamatsukami."

"Yes."

"Did the transport team take a detour?"

Yan and Shisui caught up with the detouring transport team and led them into the Land of Iron, following Kakashi's trail.

Not far from the Land of Iron's border, the team caught up with Kakashi.

At this moment, Kakashi was half-kneeling on the ground, with Utatane Koharu's corpse laid out in front of him.

Shortly after entering the Land of Iron, Utatane Koharu's life had completely disappeared.

A large hole had been torn open in her chest, and even if Tsunade were here, she might not have been able to save her.

After all, Kato Dan had died in a similar way, and Utatane Koharu's death was much the same.

Yan walked up, glanced at the corpse on the ground, and patted Kakashi on the shoulder:

"This isn't your fault. No one expected we'd run into members of the Akatsuki."

A little bit of comfort was enough.

As for how long it would take Kakashi to recover, that wasn't Yan's concern.

"The transport team will deliver the medical supplies to the destination as planned and hand them over to the people of the Land of Iron. Shisui, use a Summoned Beast to send a message to the village about our encounter with the Akatsuki."

Utatane Koharu's body couldn't just be left there.

As for how to handle it, that would depend on the village's response. Yan handed a sealing scroll to Kakashi.

Shisui summoned a crow, tied the recorded scroll to its leg, and sent it back to Konohagakure.

From the border to Konohagakure, at the crow's flying speed, it would take about two hours to deliver the scroll.

"Looks like we can finally take a good rest today."

After a busy day, Tsunade finally finished dealing with a pile of matters. She leaned comfortably against her chair, drinking the hot tea Shizune had specially brewed for her, and wondered if she should find a place to let loose.

Her way of letting loose was different from Jiraiya's.

Jiraiya liked girls, while Tsunade's hands itched to gamble.

Aside from repaying debts, Tsunade would set aside a little money each month, accumulating it bit by bit, and then lose it all in one go.

She wanted the people of Konohagakure to know that even as Hokage, she was still the famous big spender of the ninja world.

"Hokage-sama, even if you want to rest, we can't go gambling. I've already put your money away."

Shizune knew something was off as soon as she heard this, so she gave Tsunade a heads-up.

There was still some money left, but it couldn't be spent recklessly, especially not on gambling. Charity was even more out of the question.

"What are you saying? Do you think I'm that kind of person? Shizune, you're underestimating me."
