Chapter 547: 512. Kabuto’s Lair Part-1
Outside Kabuto's secret hideout in the Land of Ancestor,
"This is so slow!" Itachi and Sasuke frown as the progress of barrier-breaking is very slow.
Suddenly,
Swoosh... swoosh... swoosh... Findd new stories at novelhall.com
Several figures in red flicker toward the group.
"Who's there?"
Itachi, Sasuke, and the rest of anbu team members point their weapons towards the intruders while protecting the members of the Barrier breaking team.
"We are allies!"
The person in the lead removes the cloak to reveal her face.
"Yuri-san!" Sasuke recognizes the woman in the lead.
The rest of the people also remove their cloaks to reveal their faces.
"The elders of the Uzu clan!" Sasuke recognizes almost all of them.
"You know them." Itachi and other anbus turn towards Sasuke.
"Yes, they are our allies from a distant land." Sasuke nods his head.
The information about Redaku Island is confidential, so he doesn't reveal much.
"What are you people doing here?" Sasuke walks towards them.
"We are here to help on the orders of Lord Minato!" Yuri passes a scroll to Sasuke.
Sasuke glances at the scroll and passes it to Itachi. Itachi glances through its content and nods.
"They are here to help us." He informs the rest, much to their relief.
"We will help with breaking the barrier." The elders of the Uzu clan immediately walk towards the members of the Barrier, breaking the team to crack open the barrier.
They lay down several large Fuinjutsu scrolls and make a series of hand signs. The process accelerates by several folds.
"Is Izuna-san participating in the war?" Yuri asks with curiosity.
"No, Nii-san's whereabouts are still unknown." Sasuke shakes his head.
"I see!" Yuri sighs in disappointment.
She shakes her head and walks towards the entrance of the hideout to study the Fuinjutsu formation.
Fifteen minutes later,
BANG...
With a loud bang, several cracks appear on the crimson barrier around the hideout.
"Quickly everyone, attack that spot!"
Yuri points towards the weak spot of the barrier.
Swish... swish...
Sasuke makes a series of hand signs.
"Chidori Raikiri: Lightning Spear,"
Sasuke creates a lightning spear and stabs it at the weak spot.
Crack... Crack...
"That earlier trap mechanical trap triggered the mechanism of all of their cells, thus freeing them from their prison. Now all of them will gather here to attack us."
Itachi and Sasuke frown. Soon, another gruesome battle ensues.
An hour later,
Huff... huff...
The exhausted anbu members relax on the ground. The stench of blood permeates the air, making the atmosphere solemn.
"Did you find the entrance to the next floor?"
Itachi turns towards the scouts, who shake their heads in dismissal.
"Why don't we break the floor?" One of the anbu suggests.
"There is a risk of collapse. All of us will get buried alive if we do that." Itachi shakes his head.
"Let me give it a try!" Yuri proposes.
"Alright!" Itachi signals Sasuke to move along with Yuri to protect her.
Another ten minutes later,
"Found it!"
Yuri points towards a wall in a corner.
"Are you sure it's here?" The anbus skeptically stares at her.
Yuri walks forward and makes a series of hand signs to create fuinjutsu seals.
The fuinjutsu seals crawl over the wall to reveal another fuinjutsu formation.
"Let's break this seal!" The Uzu clan member and the barrier-breaking team make their move.
"Wait, we can brute force this seal if we strike at this place." Yuri marks a spot.
"Very well!"
An orange rib cage with a single arm surrounds Itachi. The arm clutches its fist and strikes the weak spot.
BANG...
With a loud thud, the wall explodes to reveal the passage to the next floor.
"Let's go!"
Itachi disperses his barrier and the rest of the team follows along.
"There is another barrier ahead at the entry. It's a strong barrier and will take us a few minutes to crack." Yuri stops the anbu members from progressing further ahead.
The teams quickly take their spots to dispel the barrier.

Hmm...
Kabuto raises his head and glances in the direction of the First floor.
"They already broke past the first floor. Quite fast on their feet, aren't they?"
Kabuto releases a snake.
"Release all the prisoners to prepare a welcome party for them."
Hiss...
The snake hisses and dives into a nearby hole.
