Chapter 152
"Well, Deidara, Sasori, Kisame, and Uchiha Itachi... That's you guys, right?"
The colossal dragon within the world of Tsukuyomi (Moon Reader) moved its hair and beard despite the absence of wind. Its sheer presence exerted immense pressure on both Itachi and A.
"A, I have some unfortunate news to share with you," the dragon—Zixu—spoke in an eerily calm tone. "The Cloud Ninja who participated in the trial had a conflict with us, and they were nearly wiped out."
A almost coughed up blood from sheer disbelief.
Though he had no idea where this massive dragon had come from, the tone made him suspect it was indeed Zixu. However, before he could even process his suspicion, Zixu's revelation crushed it entirely.
"Listen, don't be too hasty," Zixu added quickly, noticing A anger rising. He advised A not to resist Itachi's Tsukuyomi, but at the same time, not to reject his own Qigong (Life Energy Manipulation).
"The state of the Cloud Ninja at that time was... unusual. Do you truly believe the Cloud Ninjas would act so irrationally under normal circumstances? Would they start an all-out war over something trivial?"
With a flick of his tail, Zixu sent Itachi flying.
A hesitated. A flicker of guilt crept into his heart.
Now that he thought about it... Cloud Ninja probably would do something like that...
"Ahem, something's off," A coughed, still nailed to the cross.
