After my triumphs and defeats, I created multiple aliases across countless worlds.

Although so many years have passed since that incident, it's unclear what Bai Ye is thinking at this moment.

After all these years, who can know if this is still the same Bai Ye as before?

But given the current situation...

Kakashi also knew that Byakuya might not be an enemy.

But he still had to remain vigilant, after all, he carried the hopes of Konoha's next generation.

"I really didn't expect this. After all these years, Kakashi, it seems your strength has been restricted by that eye!"

Kakashi could have gone much further, but he was limited by his Kamui Eye.

The problem is that Kakashi didn't receive the password from Obito later on.

When dealing with Kaguya, Kakashi already had the password, so he could freely use Kamui at that time.

Having two Kamui eyes makes all the difference, but at this moment, he only has one eye, and it's still quite difficult to use, which is a huge burden for Kakashi.

The reason Kakashi was always short of chakra in the early stages was actually because there was something wrong with his eyes.

However, Bai Ye didn't seem to care much about this kind of issue.

"So what is your purpose in coming here?"

Seeing that Byakuya was still in the mood to chat, Kakashi relaxed a bit and started to pay attention to what Byakuya's purpose was.

Kakashi thought to himself, "Byakuya has been gone for so many years."

In the end, it actually appeared in the Land of Waves.

After disappearing for so many years, and then reappearing now, anyone would start to speculate.

"Uncle Baiye...."

Sasuke thought back to when he had met Byakuya before, and how Byakuya had taught him a lot of abilities.

While Konoha considers Byakuya Uchiha a rogue ninja, the Uchiha clan doesn't.

Therefore, upon meeting Byakuya, Sasuke was extremely enthusiastic.

"It's been a long time, Sasuke. I can't believe how much you've grown... Time really flies..."

A hint of emotion flashed across Bai Ye's face.

Thinking back to my previous meetings with Sasuke, it's really a bit bittersweet. It was only a few days for me.

In just a few days, a child can grow from a toddler into an adult. It's really troublesome!

"Yes, Uncle Bai Ye, would you like to come back with us?"

"this!?"

Kakashi stared at Sasuke in bewilderment. Was this some kind of direct invitation?

After hearing Sasuke's words, Kakashi was completely taken aback. If he remembered correctly, Byakuya was a rogue ninja, right?

Although everyone was just saying it casually, and despite Tsunade issuing arrest warrants for Byakuya over the years, no one really took it seriously.

Because everyone is well aware of what really happened behind this incident.

Perhaps the genin or chunin don't know very well, but the elite jonin and the clan leaders do.

"I think it's okay, but if Grandma Tsunade wants to hold me accountable later, I definitely won't agree!!!"

Naruto quickly spoke up at this moment.

He was actually very grateful to Bai Ye.

If it weren't for Bai Ye, his identity would still not have been restored even now.

Naruto knew very well that his true identity would be kept a secret forever.

Therefore, when he saw Bai Ye, he was actually somewhat grateful to her.

Did I say I was going back?

Bai Ye looked at the group in confusion, wondering if he had ever mentioned this at all.

And there's something even more important: was I too nice to them, which led to this? Did you all really think I would go back?

There's no going back!

Bai Ye didn't want to go back; he felt so free here.

"Hehe, I can't go back this time, after all, my mission is to wipe out everyone here!"

Bai Ye seemed to have thought of something, and looked at the people in front of him with a smile.

Since I felt like I didn't have anything to do at the moment, I might as well take this opportunity to have some fun with them.

Upon hearing Byakuya's words, Kakashi, who had been relatively relaxed, instantly tensed up.

They might have been friends just a moment ago, but now, in the blink of an eye, they've become enemies?

So they're actually going to attack them?

"Hey, hey, hey, is this guy kidding me?!"

Kakashi's expression was somewhat unpleasant. At this moment, he genuinely had no intention of becoming enemies with Byakuya.

After all, he was quite aware of his own strength, and the person in front of him possessed the legendary power of the Uchiha clan.

Moreover, after so many years, Kakashi knew very well that Byakuya was definitely stronger than before.

But I'm not as good as I used to be!

So after thinking about it this way, Kakashi finally figured out that they were probably no match for each other. If Byakuya really wanted to make a move, they would probably all be doomed here.

This guy....

"No way, Uncle Bai Ye, the mission you took on is...?"

Sasuke looked at Byakuya with some disbelief, clearly not expecting Byakuya to accept this mission.

If Byakuya really accepts this mission, Sasuke knows that ninjas are meant to complete missions, and the other party certainly won't just abandon the mission and leave.

Wouldn't that mean becoming enemies with Bai Ye?

"Let me see your strength, Sasuke. Don't disappoint me after all these years!"

Bai Ye was also quite curious about just how strong Sasuke had become.

Both sides appeared to be engaged in battle, and this tense atmosphere made Tazuna feel the pressure, sensing that the upcoming fight might...

"on!"

Kakashi and the other three exchanged glances. Although it was a newly formed team, their teamwork was surprisingly good. At least in Bai Ye's opinion, the cooperation between the two sides seemed to be quite good.

This piqued Bai Ye's interest somewhat.

Of the four, Neji protected Tazuna, while Naruto, Sasuke, and Kakashi surrounded Byakuya from three directions.

Clearly, the three were prepared to go all out against an enemy like Bai Ye. Even if they didn't know what Bai Ye's specific mission was, it was definitely not the time to speculate about Bai Ye's motives!

Chapter 271 - Still too weak!

"Too weak..."

A hint of disappointment flashed in Bai Ye's eyes; he had initially been somewhat curious about this new group of four.

After all, the plot has changed so drastically this time.

Sakura Haruno eventually left and joined Neji Hyuga.

With Naruto and Sasuke's resources, the story will definitely be better than in the original plot.

So we can see something from this.

This is definitely a top-tier team.

But...

To Bai Ye's surprise, it turned out that he was too strong, or that they were simply too weak.

Overall, the difference in strength seems surprisingly large!

Even without using any special abilities, Bai Ye felt that solving the problem would be quite simple.

"Weak? Don't look down on us like that!!!"

Although he was his benefactor, being called weak at this moment only fueled Naruto's competitive spirit. At this moment, Naruto also thought that since Byakuya was unwilling to go back...

Then I will defeat Bai Ye and take him back with me.

Thinking about this, Naruto's resolve seemed to strengthen even further.

"They're good with words, but their skills aren't that great."

Bai Ye shrugged and said slowly. He was quite curious about this. Naruto really was exactly the same as in the original work.

It's not that kind of growth trajectory anymore; on the contrary, Sasuke doesn't seem as cold as he was in the original work.

It seems that because the Uchiha clan still exists, Sasuke doesn't appear to be greatly affected at the moment.

From this perspective, if Naruto's lack of change can be attributed to Ashura's chakra, then is Sasuke's current situation due to Indra's chakra failing to achieve its intended effect?
