Naruto: Five Lives, Five Times the Excitement

Chapter 93 still requires the use of the Rinnegan

In the sky, insects gathered and dispersed, dispersed and gathered again, constantly relaying messages and leading the Konoha ninjas to surround Misato from all directions.

From the air, Misato was like a headless fly, running around aimlessly. In fact, there were Konoha ninjas in every direction, and no matter where he fled, he would be intercepted.

As time goes by, the encirclement will become smaller and smaller, and in the end, Mi Shou will only be able to wait for his death.

After fleeing for some time, Mikami encountered another group of Konoha ninja, led by Yamanaka Inoichi. At this moment, he realized the seriousness of the situation.

"I've changed directions several times, but I've been intercepted by Konoha ninjas. Am I surrounded?!"

Knowing the strangeness of the Yamanaka clan's ninjutsu, Mikami didn't approach at all, turned around and fled, changing direction again. Not long after, Nara Shikaku reappeared in front of Mikami.

"I thought he was just a reconnaissance ninja, but I didn't expect to make such a big difference. You should be proud of the Sand Ninja for holding out against us for so long."

To the west is Nara Shikaku, to the east is Aburame Shiki, to the north is Akimichi Choza, and to the south is Yamanaka Inoichi.

Forty or fifty Konoha ninjas, led by these four, completely surrounded Mikami.

Mi Shou was not afraid. Instead, he looked up at the night sky and saw that dark clouds had obscured the moonlight.

"I don't know if the time is up yet, Chisuke. I've done my best to buy you this much time."

Even with the chakra of a tailed beast, Misato felt exhausted at this moment.

His clothes were covered with explosive tags, ready to blow him to pieces at any moment.

"Let's make one last struggle; let's die a glorious death."

Misuke formed hand seals, consuming a large amount of chakra. The ground began to tremble, and countless grains of sand appeared, spreading outwards from Misuke's position.

On the sand, enormous arms appeared, obscuring Mikami and attacking the Konoha ninja.

At this moment, Sensuke was leading the Sand Ninja forward, preparing to cooperate with Yasukuni to seize the Sharingan. He was full of anticipation, but then he ran into Orochimaru.

Because of the pursuit of Mikami, the Konoha ninjas were scattered in all directions, so Orochimaru only had twenty or thirty Konoha ninjas by his side.

Without the help of the Ino-Shika-Cho trio, Orochimaru felt pressured facing the One-Tailed Jinchuriki, so he sent a signal to his subordinates.

"But it's okay. The Ino-Shika-Cho trio isn't too far from here. As long as I can hold off the Jinchuriki, they should be able to come and help soon."

Time was on Orochimaru's side, so he stood still and did not launch an attack immediately, but simply stood in front of Sensuke to prevent him from leaving.

What's going on? Has something changed in the war at the front? Why is Orochimaru here?

He didn't come here specifically to arrest me, did he?!

That shouldn't be the case. Based on the timeline, they shouldn't be able to arrive for at least a few days.

Could it be that someone leaked my information?

In an instant, Chisuke came to the worst conclusion, but he had no evidence.

"You hold them off, I'm retreating first!"

Sensuke gave the order to the Sand Ninja and then turned and ran away.

He also knew that fighting Orochimaru was a waste of time, and that as time went on, more and more Konoha ninja would gather here.

The One-Tailed Jinchuriki is an important fighting force for the Sand Village and needs to be well protected. Therefore, upon hearing Sensuke's words, the Sand Village ninja did not hesitate and rushed directly towards the Konoha ninja.

"Hmph, you won't escape this time!"

Leaving some subordinates to hold off the Sand Ninja, Orochimaru began to pursue Sensuke at a moderate pace, ensuring that Sensuke could not escape.

In the dream, Kyosuke, Oniichiro, and Ooka Shin had already communicated, but Chisuke and Yamori never appeared, and they all had a bad feeling.

Kyosuke frowned and said, "According to their plan, they should be exchanging the latest information and formulating plans now before they start hunting the Uchiha. Could something have gone wrong?"

Ooka Nobu speculated, "Could it be that a good opportunity arose, and they acted ahead of time?"

Kyosuke shook his head: "According to the schedule, Sensuke shouldn't have met Yamori yet, so they can't coordinate with each other. Is Yamori going to act alone? That shouldn't be the case. If he thinks he can succeed alone, wouldn't the success rate be higher if he waited for Sensuke to come and cooperate?"

Kiichiro said, "It seems there was an unexpected situation, and Sensuke had no choice but to act. Just to be on the safe side, Ooka Shin, hurry up and borrow the Rinnegan."

Upon hearing Kiichiro's words, Kyosuke immediately chimed in, "That's right. If they're not in danger, then everything is fine. But if they really are in danger, the Rinnegan might be able to help them."

Ooka Shin didn't refuse: "Okay! I'll go right away!"

Emerging from the dream, Ooka Shin disregarded politeness and directly woke up the sleeping Nagato, requesting to borrow the Rinnegan.

Nagato asked in surprise, "Why are you in such a hurry?"

Nagato thought to herself, "Shin probably found out about how we teased him during the day, so he's deliberately retaliating against me and not letting me sleep peacefully."

What kind of spiritual practice requires using the Rinnegan in the middle of the night?

Ooka Shin didn't explain, but simply bowed deeply and said, "I'm begging you, Nagato, please help me."

Seeing that Ooka Shin's attitude was so formal, Nagato knew that the other party was not joking and immediately agreed.

"Alright! Since time is of the essence, let's start now. There's no need to call Xiao Nan and the others."

Because this world has medical ninjutsu, many surgeries, including eye transplants, have become very simple.

Aside from having Konan perform the surgery for safety reasons the first time they replaced their Rinnegan, Nagato and Ooka Shin can now perform eye transplants themselves.

Soon, Ooka Shin removed his left eye, carefully preserved it, and placed the Rinnegan into his eye socket.

The familiar feeling of rejection returned. The Rinnegan absorbed a large amount of chakra, causing a headache, but Ooka Shin was already experienced and quickly adapted.

Nagato stood beside Ooka Shin with his left eye closed.

"Believe me, I'll stay here with you. If you have any problems, just tell me and I'll help you as soon as possible."

Ooka Shin nodded: "Okay, I'll train here. Thank you, Nagato."

After saying that, Ooka Shin closed his eyes and sat down to meditate, pretending to be practicing asceticism.

"Multiply Technique!"

Akimichi Choza smashed a large patch of sand, revealing Mikami inside. Yamanaka Inui was about to use the Mind Transfer Technique on Mikami, but saw Mikami move quickly and disappear from sight.

"Shikaku, create an opportunity for me!"

"no problem!"

Shikaku formed hand seals, and dozens of shadows split off from the ground, rushing towards Mikami from all corners.

Damn, they coordinated so well!

Even with a massive amount of chakra, facing the seamless teamwork of the Ino-Shika-Cho trio, Mikami could only retreat continuously, rarely having the chance to counterattack or even use ninjutsu.

Looking at the shadows surrounding him, Mi Shou formed a hand seal, and the sand beneath his feet quickly rose up, turning into a tall pillar that lifted Mi Shou into the air, allowing him to evade the shadows' attacks.

However, the sky was not safe either. Under the control of Shiki Aburame, swarms of insects rushed towards Mimori.
