In Konoha, they wiped out the Sarutobi clan at the start.

Kabuto sighed softly, "You are as unfathomable as ever. These monstrous Akatsuki members are treated like playthings in your hands."

"Looks like you were waiting for me here on purpose." Qianye looked at Dou calmly.

"I've been looking for you all this time." Kabuto nodded emphatically, took out a scroll from his pocket, and respectfully handed it to Chiya. "Now that Lord Orochimaru is dead, you are the only person in this world worthy of my respect, the only person who makes me feel like I still have a sense of existence. As a way of repaying you, I have already done what you asked me to do last time."

"It seems you've really put a lot of thought into this." Looking at the Dust Release training methods on the scroll, Chiyo knew that, barring any unforeseen circumstances, they had already begun resurrecting those powerful ninjas using the Impure World Reincarnation technique.

Then, as if remembering something, he put away the scroll and said with a smile, "Kabuto, you must be feeling very lost right now, right? You feel like you've lost everything. For someone who has been a spy for different countries since childhood and is now homeless, it feels like you've lost your life goals and identity again."

"So now I want to surpass my own power. I want to learn from Orochimaru, transfer my power to Orochimaru's white phosphorus cells, obtain his power, and surpass him, thereby proving myself and finding my true identity."

"Yes, Lord Chiya." Kabuto did not deny it.

"Do you know why this is?" Qianye began to coax and persuade like a master of pyramid schemes.

Dou's mind was filled with memories of the past, and then he heard Qianye say, "That's because a hole was made here."

"Dong" was suddenly startled, his pupils contracted sharply, and he saw Qianye pointing to his heart.

Suddenly, the image of the mother pharmacist, Nonou, flashed into Kabuto's mind. He felt a sharp pain in his chest, quickly covered it with his right hand, and asked in a trembling voice, "Then what should I do?"

"Of course I'll fill the hole. I'll go see the person who made that hole in my heart," Qianye said calmly.

"I can't do it." Kabuto's pupils were unfocused, and he avoided Chiya's gaze. He was unwilling to use the Impure World Reincarnation to desecrate his foster mother's soul.

Moreover, because of Danzo's interference, even after being resurrected through Edo Tensei, his foster mother no longer recognized him, which made it even more unacceptable to him.

"I have a good idea," Qianye said with a mysterious smile.

Kabuto remembered the Seven-Tails Jinchuriki who had been resurrected in Tsurugakure, and quickly understood Chiya's meaning. He hurriedly asked, "What do you want?"

He knew that Qianye was never one to do business at a loss.

Chiya tossed a kunai to Kabuto. "Keep this for now. I'll tell you later. Right now, all you need to do is prepare for that person's Impure World Reincarnation. After all, I can't resurrect someone who's already dead without a complete corpse."

Kabuto glanced at the Flying Thunder God standard on his kunai and understood. "I understand. Then I'll take my leave for now."

As he spoke, Dou disappeared into the jungle.

At this moment, Obito and Deidara, who had finished their playful fight, walked over, and the four of them officially embarked on their journey to find Sasuke.

The exclusive weapon purchasing channel for the Uchiha clan: Granny Cat's Shop.

Having just purchased the necessary items for battle, Sasuke and his Snake Squad embarked on their official journey to find Itachi Uchiha and Chiya Fujiwara.

"Jugo, Suigetsu, and Dozo, everything is ready. From now on, we will officially begin our pursuit of Uchiha Itachi and Fujiwara Chiya. For efficiency, everyone will split up and search for Akatsuki's strongholds. Meet up on that hill at the 5 o'clock direction before dark."

Erzhuzi's gaze swept over the three members of the Snake Squad in front of him.

Sandou was the first ninja to join the party, following Hozuki Suigetsu and Tenbin Jugo.

He appears to be a large, muscular man.

Although it doesn't have much combat power.

But he is an indispensable member of the Snake Squad.

They spent a lot of money to hire Erzhuzi as a servant.

Unlike the original story, because Karin was taken away by Chiya to become Tsunade's apprentice, the Snake Team lacked a ninja with sensory perception and medical ninjutsu.

After searching for a while, Erzhuzi finally found Tang San.

"Yare yare. Is it finally going to begin?" The Executioner's Blade clanged as it was stuck upside down in the ground. Suigetsu leaned against the hilt, looking at Sasuke with interest, and murmured, "But is this really okay? Itachi Uchiha is one thing, after all, you have an irreconcilable hatred for him, but Fujiwara Chiya is not someone to be trifled with."

"Although I have never met him, his name has been legendary in the Five Great Nations over the years. The Phantom God, the Genius of the Clan, the Burial of Konoha. Even Orochimaru is always terrified when he talks about him."

Shuiyue shrugged and sighed helplessly. "To be honest, I don't think we're a match for that guy. Besides, it seems like you don't have any real hatred between you and him."

"No, quite the opposite." Erzhuzi clenched his fists. Thanks to Qianye, he had suffered a fate worse than death during those ten days.

"Then just say it." Shuiyue looked annoyed. If it weren't for the decapitation sword in his hand, he would have run away long ago.

Then his gaze turned to Jugo and Dozo, "Hey you two, aren't you going to try to persuade him? He's going to find that Fujiwara Chiya, Fujiwara Chiya."

"Kimimaro's will is my will." Jugo fiddled with the little bird in his hand, ignorance is bliss.

San-do is the same type of person as Kakuzu; he loves money. Although he is unwilling to face Akatsuki, he is helpless because Sasuke gives him too much.

"I really can't stand you guys."

At this moment, Suigetsu was in a dilemma. He had already made up his mind to wait for Sasuke to kill Itachi Uchiha and then take the Samehada sword from Itachi's companion Kisame.

He then ran away.

He didn't want to face an enemy that even Orochimaru in his prime couldn't defeat without any benefit to him.

Meanwhile, Kakashi's team, consisting of Teams 7 and 8, began their mission to pursue and capture Itachi Uchiha alive.

The intention was to use this to lure out Erzhuzi.

The eight-person team was divided into six parts.

Kakashi summoned eight ninja dogs, who then split into five groups to pursue them.

Kakashi was with Pakkun.

Hinata was accompanied by two ninja dogs.

Shino was with two ninja dogs.

Kiba Inuzuka has his own dog.

Naruto, being the Nine-Tails' Jinchuriki, needs to stay with Karin and Yamato, who have the ability to suppress tailed beasts, at all times. However, because Karin herself has strong senses, she was only assigned one ninja dog.

As for Chika, she was also divided into two ninja dogs.

However, she was not in a hurry to find Sasuke and Itachi. Compared to finding the two brothers, she came out this time more to find Chiya.

It's all because my mom acted impulsively and scared my dad so much that he didn't dare come home for months.
