Chapter 697 The Upside Down World

What's going on?

Why do you feel something is weird?

Oh, I remembered, they were here to find Naruto.

But why is Sasuke here?

It's so...well, miserable!

Didn't Yasuo come here just to fight the Akatsuki leader?

Why did you suddenly fall in love with Sasuke and want to accept him as your disciple?

How did you figure out this connection with the Blood Moon Sect?

Jiraiya and the others were full of questions, with question marks on their faces. Their minds were so messed up that they almost forgot all the important things.

"Naruto! How could you do this?!"

Naruto, who maintained his half-tailed beast-turned-four-tailed state, was a little anxious and said: "Sexy Sento, let's save Sasuke first!"

Jiraiya also knew that now was not the time to hold Naruto responsible for running away without permission.

He first glanced at Yasuo, who had caught Sasuke, and then turned his attention to the two familiar and unfamiliar faces.

Then he said with a complicated expression: "Nagato, Xiaonan, long time no see."

Facing their former mentor, Nagato and Konan both looked indifferent.

Although Yahiko's death had nothing to do with Jiraiya, if it weren't for the peaceful concepts that Jiraiya instilled in them, they would not have thought of founding the Akatsuki organization, and Yahiko would naturally not have been killed.

And if Jiraiya had not left them, such a tragedy would not have happened.

Even if they were not very Jiraiya, they definitely had resentments and could never go back to the past.

Nagato and Konan didn't speak, and the scene suddenly froze.

Now that Pain's Six Paths have been lost, Nagato himself has difficulty moving, and a powerful enemy like Yasuo is watching...

At this time, Nagato's only choice is to rely on the heretic demon to forcibly achieve his goal.

But Yasuo was unfathomable, leaving Nagato without any confidence.

Not to mention having to watch out for sneak attacks from Konoha ninjas.

The situation had turned very unfavorable to him.

At this moment, Yasuo, who regarded everyone as nothing, was still competing with the boy.

"Ignore these irrelevant people, what's your answer?"

Sasuke gritted his teeth and said: "You are dreaming! I will not be the disciple of a villain like you!"

"A good boy, you have some backbone. But if your confidence comes from these people, then you may be disappointed."

Before Qingyu finished speaking, Xiaonan made a timely assist.

"Yasuo, how about postponing your battle with Nagato for now? If you still admit that you are a member of the Akatsuki, then join forces with us to destroy Konoha and complete the capture of the Nine-Tailed Jinchuuriki."

To be honest, when Xiaonan said this, she just wanted to give it a try.

After all, the battle between Yasuo and Nagato has nothing to do with anything else. It is just because Yasuo is a fighting madman and it is an internal matter of their Akatsuki organization.

Now that the foreign enemy is right in front of you, if you still admit that you are a member of Akatsuki, you won't help outsiders to attack your own people, right? !

That's what Xiaonan means.

Qingyu also heard it.

Although this was somewhat different from his original plan, it did not have much impact.

Presumably Nagato will definitely start investigating his reincarnation eye in the future, and maybe he can lead Obito out in advance.

More importantly, he had actually won this battle and achieved his most basic goal.

It's better to take this opportunity to scare Sasuke, maybe it will work wonders.

Thinking of this, Qingyu said loudly: "Okay, let's put this battle behind us for the time being."

You actually agreed?

Konan felt a little unreal, and then heard Yasuo point to the jinchūriki and continue:

"These two men have ruined my honor and ended my war. If you hand them over, you will avoid death. Otherwise, I will only have blood stained here."

Yasuo's words were like a sledgehammer, hitting the hearts of everyone in Konoha so hard that Jiraiya and others changed their expressions.

They didn't expect that Naruto and Sasuke's recklessness would cause such a change.

But if you think about it carefully, this approach looks very much like what Yasuo would do.

During the battle between Yasuo and Tsunade, Yasuo also mentioned the word honor many times and refused to unsheath his sword.

Finally, with the intervention of Kakashi, Kai and others, many ninja souls were released in anger.

There was also the time when he fought against the Five Shadows.

Jiraiya also remembered that someone from Akatsuki suddenly appeared and interrupted the battle at that time, and then Yasuo chopped off the opponent's arm without saying a word, and handed over the dying Tsuchikage and the injured and dying Gourd Toad. Give it to him and treat it as repayment.

So for such a fighting lunatic who takes honor so seriously, there is probably nothing that would make him more irritated than when outsiders intervene during the battle!

After understanding this, Jiraiya immediately smiled bitterly.

Because there was no way he could hand Naruto over.

Then we can only fight to the death!

Jiraiya took a deep breath and immediately made a gesture to get everyone ready to fight.

Konan and Nagato looked at each other, preparing to join forces with Yasuo, who was fighting to death just now, to deal with everyone in Konoha and take away the jinchūriki.

They never imagined that things would develop like this in the end.

What’s even more unexpected is that this turning point would be due to two brats who barged in unexpectedly!

"After I get rid of all the reliance in your heart, I'll see what choice you make."

After saying this to Sasuke.

Qingyu touched a prize first, sheathed the [Black Jade], and then gently pulled out the Zanpakutō hanging from his waist.

Nagato's expression changed again, and there was still a dull pain in the right side of his chest that had been penetrated.

Every time this guy gets serious, he will pull out that demon sword and perform those magical sword skills.

So does this mean that he was not worthy enough to get this guy serious before?

Nagato's self-confidence was hit again.

"Be careful! The opponent's attack is coming!"

Jiraiya also thought of something and immediately reminded everyone.

Then I saw Yasuo slowly turning the knife in his hand upside down, pointing the tip of the knife downward, and whispered softly: "Fall down, reverse caress!"

With a flash of light, the knife in Yasuo's hand changed its appearance.

The handle is rectangular with square patterns. There are four rectangular hollows surrounding the blade. The end of the handle is hollow and round, and there are five small circular holes on the blade.

But other than that, there seems to be no other changes...

No, that's not right!

Where does the fragrance come from?

"It smells so good. Where does this fragrance come from?"

"Hold your breath! Be careful! It's poisonous!"

At this time, Qingyu smiled flatly and said: "Welcome to the upside-down world."

Before he finished speaking, everyone had an unbelievable look of shock in their eyes!

Because in their sight, the sky and the earth have been completely reversed. Each of them has their feet on the sky and their head on the earth.

But Yasuo was not affected at all, standing in the same place with an attitude completely opposite to theirs.

This is the [Shikai] ability of the Zanpakutō [Reverse Caress], an upside-down world!
