Naruto: Who made him a ninja

Chapter 164 I Was Beaten Up Back Then, Why Did He Get That? (10,000 words, please subscribe)

The following day, in the forests of the Land of Fire, Team 7 swiftly traversed the area.

However, whether it was Kakashi, Sasuke, Naruto, or Karin, they all looked displeased.

Because they themselves never expected that, having just returned to Konoha after completing a major mission, they would have to set off again!

"What a hassle!"

Kakashi walked at the front, feeling somewhat helpless and resigned, but Naruto was much more direct.

"Seriously, those panda eyes are so annoying."

"Yes, that's true."

Sasuke nodded in agreement. He really had no interest in missions like rescuing Gaara.

Even though this mission is of a high level, in the past three years, which mission he has performed has ever been of a lower level?

He also wanted to learn more from Shisui, or perhaps he could get some guidance from Master Guang!

Sasuke is very well-behaved now. When he sees Hidezawa and Hikaru, he will respectfully address them as "Master".

"There's nothing we can do about this kind of trouble; we just have to do it honestly."

Karin glanced at the three of them and spoke softly.

Actually, she didn't want to come out either, but Tsunade was not only the Hokage, but also her teacher and family member, so she had to protect her no matter what.

"Besides, the Hokage entrusted us with this mission, which shows that he trusts us, so let's complain less."

Besides, the Fifth Kazekage of Sunagakure has a very good relationship with Hidezawa-nii. If we handle things well, he'll definitely be happy.

"well?"

Upon hearing Karin's words, Sasuke and Naruto both perked up.

If you were to talk about Tsunade's merits, they would probably just respect her and obey her obediently, after all, Tsunade is the Hokage, and they are excellent ninjas.

But when it comes to Xiuze, the situation is quite different!

To Naruto, Hidezawa was like an older brother who had taken care of him since childhood, while to Sasuke, Hidezawa was the one who saved his clan.

In addition, he also learned some "secrets," such as the fact that the ancestors of the Senju and Uchiha were brothers, which made his feelings towards Hidezawa even more different.

"If this mission can make Lord Hidezawa (elder brother) happy, then..."

Sasuke and Naruto exchanged a glance, and they both noticed that their eyes were full of motivation!

"Alright, let's speed things up."

Kakashi naturally noticed the changes in the two boys, which left him speechless with frustration.

Is the Hokage's order no longer working?

You all perk up as soon as Xiuze is mentioned?

He couldn't help but glance at Karin, who was adjusting her glasses, and his lips twitched slightly.

These two idiots are completely out of Karin's hands!

"So you actually know how to come back, huh?"

Konoha, inside the Hokage's office.

Tsunade grabbed Hidezawa by the collar and roared, causing Hikaru and Yugao, who were standing at the office door, to exchange a glance.

But both of them tacitly remained silent, instead standing there quietly watching.

After all, both of them felt that Xiuze had gone too far.

He was gone for months at a time, without taking anyone with him, and without even saying goodbye.

In this situation, they were also a little emotional, and they wanted to hear what explanation Xiuze had to give!

"Please, didn't I pass on the information to you? Don't you know what I'm going to do?"

Xiuze spread his hands, his face full of an innocent expression.

"Although the Akatsuki are keeping a low profile and hiding themselves now, we all know that they will never be content with their lot."

Therefore, I also took this opportunity to meet with my informant within the Akatsuki organization, and as expected, they had already begun their operation.

"Those guys from the Akatsuki?"

Tsunade raised an eyebrow; she really didn't have anything to refute in this answer.

Because the information she had previously obtained was indeed provided by Hidezawa, it was this information that prompted Kakashi's strongest team to be deployed.

"But you've been gone for too long. Do these things really take that much time?"

And have you forgotten that you're still the Hokage's assistant? How could you leave the village without a word for so long?

"Because the matter is quite complicated, I have no other choice."

Xiuze sighed helplessly and continued speaking with a sense of resignation.

"Besides this news, I also received some other information, such as Orochimaru."

Orochimaru?

Tsunade raised an eyebrow, and finally released her grip on Hidezawa's clothes.

She could never forget Orochimaru, after all, that damned bastard had summoned both of her grandfathers!

Furthermore, this guy is currently the most threatening person to Konoha, after all, he has mastered the Impure World Reincarnation technique.

This guy's intelligence is second only to Obito Uchiha!

"Yes, Orochimaru."

Xiuze nodded, found a seat, and then spoke earnestly.

"According to intelligence, this guy has been secretly researching something for the past three years. If I'm not mistaken, he has probably improved the Impure World Reincarnation technique."

This means that the next time we encounter the First Hokage, he will likely be even more dangerous, and his strength will be closer to his peak during his lifetime.

Of course, that's not all. I heard that Obito Uchiha and his group were determined to make the most of the Impure World Reincarnation technique, and they had also received the approval of Iwagakure and Kumogakure.

At the same time, this guy probably has another card to play, and that card is probably no weaker than the First Hokage.

Even more dangerous, because this guy might be Uchiha Madara!

Xiuze's words were not an exaggeration; he had "gone everything" for Konan in order to obtain the information.

Of course, it cannot be denied that part of it was his guess, but he believed that his judgment would not be wrong.

Obito Uchiha might not want to bring Madara Uchiha out, but Black Zetsu would absolutely not let Obito Uchiha run rampant.

In Hidezawa's memory, Kabuto was able to "find" material about Madara Uchiha, so how could Orochimaru not "find" it?

It's likely that Black Zetsu will send these things to Orochimaru so that Orochimaru can bring out Madara Uchiha!

"Are there other village Kage... like Madara Uchiha?"

As expected, Tsunade's expression turned serious the moment she heard the news.

This news is hardly good news for Konoha.

Although Madara Uchiha was defeated by her grandfather back then, he's not someone you can just mess with!

The thought of such a terrifying guy possibly appearing made Tsunade feel somewhat uneasy.

Especially since this guy was once a member of the founding team of Konoha. No matter what the reason for leaving Konoha, she will never forget that.

All I can say is, Orochimaru is truly ruthless.

Who is Madara Uchiha?

Just as Tsunade was feeling down, Hikaru suddenly spoke up.

"I don't think I've ever heard of this name before. Is it that impressive?"

"That guy was one of the creators of Konoha."

Tsunade was stunned for a moment when she heard this, and then she couldn't help but rub her temples.

How could she explain that Madara Uchiha had told Hikari? She herself felt frustrated. She couldn't possibly say, "Your great-grandchild" or even a younger generation from an even more distant past, could she?

Thinking about the messy family hierarchy, Tsunade couldn't help but glare at Hidezawa again.

You're really hungry!

You're not even going after women from hundreds of years ago, are you?

"However, teacher, don't worry. Although Madara Uchiha is troublesome, I think we have ways to deal with them."

Hidezawa had no idea that Tsunade was making fun of him again. He thought for a moment and then smiled and said.

"Even if Madara Uchiha and the First Hokage team up, we are not without a solution. After all, Konoha has me and Hikaru."

Everyone says that we two are the First Hokage and Madara Uchiha of this era, right? I believe we're no worse than them.

"off"

Upon hearing Xiuze's words, Tsunade was momentarily speechless, and could only give a soft hum in response.

She was somewhat annoyed, though, as if she had been excluded.

Although she admitted that in the past three years, Hikaru's growth rate was greater than hers, with the help of the Tenseigan, this Uchiha "old woman's" eyes underwent another transformation.

But at least I can use the power of Yang Release to a greater extent here, and I can even use Wood Release better now!

As a result, that bastard Xiuzhe didn't even mention it?

Just thinking about the power of Shusawa's Wood Release and the terrifying power of his Yang Release makes him seem more like a Senju than I am.

Realizing this, Tsunade felt utterly helpless, and she couldn't help but think of her teacher's words.

"The purest form of the Thousand Hands?"

Tsunade tilted her head, her thoughts wandering, while Hidezawa stood up at that moment.

"Teacher, how long have Kakashi and the others been gone?"

"They've probably been gone for a day, haven't they?"

Tsunade was still in a daze when Yugao couldn't help but speak up.

"Judging by their speed, they should have arrived in the Land of Wind by now."

Kai's squad, as reinforcements, followed closely behind and will likely arrive in the Land of Wind soon.

Xiuze, are you worried about them?

"I'm a little worried, after all, they're facing the Akatsuki. Although I don't know which team it is, I'm afraid the Kai team is still not up to the task."

Xiuze rubbed his chin and said, to be honest, he was a little worried about Naruto and the others. Besides, he also wanted to see how the plot was going.

Of course, the most important thing was that he wanted to see if he could run into Obito Uchiha.

Or rather, it was an encounter with Black Zetsu!

Although Obito didn't participate in this operation in his memory, the current situation is not what he remembered.

The Akatsuki organization was utterly ruined by him during his "score-farming" process!

It's hard to say what problems Naruto and his crew will encounter on this mission, so Hidezawa plans to go and try his luck.

If we really encounter that...

"Well then, I have to give it a try no matter what, after all, I'm just one step away!"

Xiuze muttered to himself, for he had always suspected that Black Zetsu possessed the chakra of Kaguya Otsutsuki's bloodline limit!

Of course, there is one more thing that Xiuze can't forget.

He hadn't forgotten that old woman Chiyo had a way of bringing the dead back to life!

What Xiuze can do is make people immortal, and even live longer.

But for the dead, he was somewhat helpless.

At least he had no clue what to do, but Chiyo's techniques could give him a lot of inspiration.

"So, in this era, Konoha changed all of this?"

In an oasis in the Land of Wind, Madara Uchiha looked at Orochimaru and Black Zetsu with a strange expression.

If it were just Orochimaru alone, he probably wouldn't trust this guy's words at all, but with the appearance of Black Zetsu, he suddenly realized something.

I'm afraid that idiot Obito Uchiha has rebelled!

It's not surprising that Obito Uchiha would turn against him, after all, Madara Uchiha personally plotted and killed the white moonlight in Obito's heart.

So he didn't forget to leave something on Obito's heart, just in case.

However, now is not the time to ask these questions. After realizing that he was a reincarnated impure person, he did not intend to say anything more for the time being.

He also wanted to know what this era was like, since he had been dead for so many years and his information had become somewhat out of touch.

However, after listening to Black Zetsu and this guy named Orochimaru explain the current situation, his expression turned strange.

The world seems to be developing in a way that's not quite what he imagined!

Konoha has begun to gradually encroach upon other countries and villages, even without forcefully forming an alliance, it has incorporated them into its own system through various means.

In addition, two interesting individuals appeared in Konoha, and under their pressure, both Kumogakure and Iwagakure were forced to unite.

They even got involved with the Akatsuki organization?

"Yes, times have changed."

Seeing that Black Zetsu remained silent, Orochimaru simply nodded.

"Sunagakure was forcibly changed by Konoha. Their new Kage are now firmly loyal to Konoha, so their situation has greatly improved."

The water of the Land of Rain, and the trees now—by the way, these trees are all products of Wood Release.

"And those two you mentioned are the new generation of Hashirama Senju and Madara Uchiha."

"There is only one Hashirama Senju; no one else is worthy of being compared to him!"

Before Orochimaru could finish speaking, Madara Uchiha interrupted him with a cold snort.

He didn't care at all about being called a "new Uchiha Madara," because he was absolutely confident that no one could truly catch up with him!

But who will be the next Hashirama Senju?

What a joke! He lost back then, and Hashirama Senju was the only person he acknowledged.

How could there possibly be a new Hashirama Senju in this world!

"Those two guys are really not weak; they even have the same flair you had back in the day."

Black Zetsu knew Madara Uchiha very well, and of course he knew what Madara was thinking right now.

However, he felt he still needed to take precautions.

After all, Shihara Hidezawa and that mysterious Uchiha woman, like Senju Hashirama and Uchiha Madara, are very likely reincarnations of Indra and Ashura!

"And those two are even better than you were back then."

"Um?"

As expected, Black Zetsu's words made Madara Uchiha frown.

His eyes were slightly narrowed as he turned to look at Black Zetsu, his gaze filled with surprise and displeasure.

"We all know the Uchiha's personality. That Uchiha was saved by the Senju, and the Uchiha clan is already gone. What do you think will happen to this Uchiha?"

Black Zetsu wasn't afraid of Madara's gaze; he remained calm as he spoke.

"Moreover, they are a man and a woman, and most importantly, their teamwork is excellent."

Orochimaru and I have both witnessed and experienced firsthand the combined power of Susanoo and True Several Thousand Hands.

Susanoh

Are they working together with the True Thousand Hands?

Upon hearing this, Madara Uchiha felt his fist harden for some reason!

Back then, he was thoroughly beaten by the True Thousand Hands, and both the Nine-Tails and Susanoo were directly defeated.

Each punch that landed on his body felt like a blow to his heart, and he still can't forget it.

In this era, Susanoo has actually joined forces with the True Thousand Hands?

Is this really okay?!

"Is it the 'Powerful Susanoo'?"

Madara Uchiha's gaze darkened, while Black Zetsu nodded.

"Yes, the armored Susanoo, its earth-shattering power is truly unforgettable."

"Okay, okay, I'm finally starting to get interested."

Upon hearing Black Zetsu's words, Madara Uchiha's expression darkened further, but a smile appeared on his lips.

"Where are those two now? I'd love to see what their 'charm' is like!"

Upon hearing Madara Uchiha's words, Orochimaru involuntarily frowned and turned to look at Black Zetsu.

Black Zetsu immediately understood Orochimaru's meaning, but he was also somewhat helpless, as Madara Uchiha could be more stubborn than he had imagined at times.

"You haven't fully resurrected yet, so in terms of power, I'm afraid..."

That guy has mastered Yin-Yang Release; he once defeated the Impure World Reincarnation.

So, I think...

"Hmph, no need to say anything more, my mind is made up."

However, before Black Zetsu could finish speaking, Madara Uchiha shook his head indifferently.

"So what if it's Yin-Yang Escape? Since it's a resurrection from the dead, its value lies in catching the enemy off guard and being fearless of death."

You can summon me again later, but right now I'm really curious about what's going on between these two.

At the very least, I want to find out what kind of person can be compared to Hashirama.

What kind of person is capable of using the True Thousand Hands technique after Hashirama?

"Isn't this guy supposed to be the next Hashirama? Let me see what he's made of!"

"."

Orochimaru and Kuroshita exchanged a glance, and for a moment they both fell silent, especially Orochimaru, whose gaze was particularly strange.

You ignore the descendants of the Uchiha clan, but why are you so interested in Hashirama Senju?

Something's not right about this Uchiha Madara.

However, what Madara Uchiha wanted to do was in line with Orochimaru's expectations.

Even if the situation changes slightly, it's not something that can't be done!

Thinking of this, Orochimaru stuck out his tongue and licked his lips.

"Since you have such ideas, how can I not grant them?"

"After all, now is a good opportunity, and maybe it can make your idea come true."

"This operation will proceed at a rapid pace. Even if we can't obtain all the tailed beasts, we will at least collect as much chakra as possible."

In the Land of Wind, inside a dark mountain cave.

The Gedo Mazo was quietly summoned, and Gaara's figure hovered there. Shukaku's chakra was being continuously absorbed by the Mazo, and Gaara's life force was rapidly fading away.

Nagato spoke indifferently upon seeing this scene. He didn't actually want to kill this Jinchuriki, but he was still the leader of Akatsuki, so his words and actions had to be consistent.

"Also, according to the news from Konan, Konoha already knew about it in advance. After all, Root is all over the ninja world, and all of us are their targets."

So this isn't surprising. Their people will probably be here soon. Sasori, Kakuzu, be ready to move at any time, understand?

"Tch, you guys are actually that afraid of Konoha people?"

Hiruko, a new member of Akatsuki, shook his head dismissively at one of the Gedo Mazo's fingers.

"Seriously, Konoha isn't what it used to be, and I heard Tsunade has become Hokage. It's unbelievable."

"What an arrogant guy."

"Looks like I joined too late; I don't know anything."

"Who let this idiot in?"

Upon hearing this, the members of the Akatsuki organization couldn't help but shake their heads.

This newcomer clearly hasn't experienced the harsh treatment he received in the past, which is why he could say such things!

And they

Three years passed quickly and peacefully. At least they didn't have any conflicts with Konoha during these three years, nor did they have to confront that guy Shihara Hidezawa!

For them, those past years were like a nightmare; no one wants to recall those painful memories.

"Before you said that, did you consider just how strong Konoha really is right now?"

Kakuzu shook his head dismissively. He didn't have any intention of protecting his "boss," but he just thought the newcomer was too stupid.

"Why don't you ask everyone here who hasn't been taught a lesson by that Hokage's assistant from Konoha?"

"If you don't speak, no one will think you're mute."

Kakuzu's words immediately aroused the dissatisfaction of everyone present. Sasori, who was standing next to him, even considered whether to hit him directly.

After pondering for a moment, he sighed inwardly and said in a low voice.

"Perhaps we can let this newcomer face off against Shihara Hidezawa. Of course, given his early death, we'll probably have to look for a new person again."

"Bastards, you guys!"

The latest novel is first published here!

Hiruko seemed unable to bear these words; his eyes, which were wrapped in bandages, were slightly vacant. But before he could speak, Pain interrupted him.

"Shut up, all of you, and focus on what's at hand."

Also, newcomer, although I know you're not convinced, I'm telling you this very clearly.

Shihara Hidezawa is far more dangerous than you can imagine. If you encounter him and don't want to die, you'd better run fast.

Why do you think we, the Hidden Cloud Village, the Hidden Stone Village, and even us, should unite?

It's because this guy is too strong; he's probably already surpassed the First Hokage.

After all, even the First Hokage's Impure World Reincarnation technique wasn't a match for him.

"off"

Nagato's words slightly displeased Hiruko, but at this moment he really didn't dare to say anything more.

However, he was also extremely annoyed. He couldn't understand why everyone felt that encountering that guy named Shihara Hidezawa was like "this is where I'll die."

Moreover, so what if he defeated the First Hokage with the Impure World Reincarnation technique?

Didn't the First Hokage die anyway?

He, Tsunade, Jiraiya, and Orochimaru were contemporaries; they were classmates!

Although the First Hokage had already died by that time, he had grown up listening to the legend of the First Hokage. Even someone as strong as him died.

If that's the case, then don't they have any other way to surpass the First Hokage?

"I wouldn't have come in if you couldn't provide the bloodline I wanted."

Hiruko snorted inwardly, but he kept quiet for the moment.

However, at that moment, you all surged together, and the next instant, the figure of White Zetsu appeared.

"Someone is approaching Kakuzu and Sasori's area, coming from two directions. They seem to be from Konoha."

One was a team led by Kakashi Hatake, and the other was a taijutsu ninja named Might Guy.

In terms of strength, Kakashi Hatake's team is very strong. As for the other one, I'm not so sure, but we're at a crucial moment in sealing the Jinchuriki.

"Are they here?"

Upon hearing this news, Nagato nodded silently to himself, but his expression still showed annoyance.

"They've come at a really bad time. Is there any way to stop them?"

"There's no need to worry about this; I've already taken care of it."

The illusory figure of Orochimaru, who had remained silent until now, suddenly stirred slightly. He licked his lips and then smiled.

"If nothing unexpected happens, there might be some movement from Scorpion's side later. I hope they won't get caught up in it."

"Oh?"

Nagato frowned; he had no idea about this news. Kakuzu was also cursing inwardly, feeling like he had lost money!

Even Obito Uchiha was somewhat puzzled. He pondered for a moment before looking at Orochimaru.

"Impure World Reincarnation? Who do you plan to use to stop them?"

"This one?"

Orochimaru's smile remained unchanged, and at this moment it seemed even more radiant.

"You'll find out soon, but I can assure you that having him might be better for us in the future."

After all, this guy is a rare and exceptional expert, and a high-quality subject I've carefully prepared.

Within the Land of Wind, Kakashi and his companions have made contact with the people of the Land of Wind and have begun their search.

However, Kakashi looked at the person beside him with a somewhat strange expression.

"Elder Chiyo, you're so old, why do you still have to come out in person?"

That's right, Chiyo came out with Kakashi and the others again this time!

After they arrived at Sunagakure, Kakashi and the others learned a lot of information through reports from Sunagakure personnel.

This situation is very different from what Hidezawa remembers. Sunagakure was not attacked by force, but was caught off guard by a sudden attack.

Moreover, both Kakuzu and Sasori had exceptionally clear goals; they only had Gaara in their eyes!

Despite not being exhausted, Gaara was still defeated by Sasori, thanks to Kakuzu's excellent cover and Sasori's extraordinary puppet control.

After doing all this, the two of them left quickly, giving Sunagakure little chance to react.

Moreover, Kakuzu set fires everywhere while providing cover, and what's worse, Sunagakure is no longer the sandstorm-filled place it used to be.

The lush forests were their pride, which ironically made things convenient for Kakuzu.

Sunagakure was furious. The Kazekage was now Pakura, and the entire Sunagakure had been properly trained by her, so there was no way that there would be a situation where the rescue was not timely.

Normally, someone of Chiyo's status wouldn't need to be involved, but she still chose to come out, after all...

"Based on the situation at the scene, the person who carried out this operation is most likely Scorpion."

Chiyo turned around and looked at Kakashi with displeasure. She almost attacked him the moment they met.

It's so similar, so incredibly similar!

That bastard wearing a mask looks exactly like Hatake Sakumo.

However, she was still able to remain composed, after all, Konoha was now their "boss", so she could only patiently explain.

"Therefore, it's better for me to deal with someone like Sasori personally. After all, Konoha has never been able to capture him, has it?"

"Isn't it because he runs fast?"

No sooner had Chiyo finished speaking than Sasuke spoke up, before Kakashi could even say anything.

"Isn't it because that guy runs too fast? Lord Xiuze said that the scorpion is not difficult to deal with, it just relies on the puppet to run fast."

Furthermore, Brother Shisui said something similar: "If you ask me, it's because you taught him to run too fast, otherwise this situation wouldn't have occurred."

"Indeed, Brother Xiuze has said more than once that Sasori seems to have never improved, but he is exceptionally fast."

Karin glanced at Chiyo, gave a soft snort, and pouted. Naruto nodded in agreement.

"I heard that it took Sasori quite a while to capture Gaara, but Brother Shuzawa defeated Gaara and the thing inside him in less than a second. I was right there at the time!"

"Alright, alright, stop talking."

Kakashi felt a sense of satisfaction when he saw Chiyo's face turn ugly in an instant, but he immediately spoke up to comfort her.

But he couldn't help but glance at Naruto discreetly, as if to say, "Aren't you like Gaara, with a tailed beast inside you?"

However, he didn't say much, because he knew that Naruto probably didn't really like Gaara that much.

Even though they are indeed in the same boat, Naruto has not forgotten about invading Konoha!

"The most important thing right now is to find Gaara as soon as possible, shall we?"

As he was speaking, Kakashi suddenly stopped, his gaze fixed warily ahead.

Not only him, but Karin and Naruto also stopped in their tracks instantly, especially Karin, whose expression seemed quite astonished.

"What's wrong?"

Chiyo saw that everyone from Konoha had stopped, and she asked a question with some confusion.

But she quickly shut up, because within their sight, a figure clad in red armor appeared in the forest of this oasis!

This person seemed to be deliberately waiting for their arrival, and upon seeing them, he slowly stood up.

"Has it finally arrived?"

He looked up at Kakashi and the others, his voice sounding somewhat cold.

"I've been waiting for you for so long!"

"Tch, you two just came here specifically to laugh at me, didn't you?"

Inside the Kazekage's office in Sunagakure.

Yekura placed the brewed tea in front of Hidezawa and Hikaru before sitting down with a disgruntled expression.

"What bad luck! I never expected to be tricked like this. Damn Akatsuki, what a bunch of bastards!"

"Don't be upset. After all, Sasori is your senior. His understanding of the village is probably unmatched by many in the entire Sunagakure."

Xiuze took the tea, shook his head, and smiled.

"And this guy is quite capable. He managed to take down the One-Tailed Beast in ten minutes without letting it unleash its full power. It seems he has improved."

"Of course, you've been a bit lax in training the One-Tailed Beast, haven't you? It's a bit much that it was captured and taken away by Sasori so quickly."

"That guy used poison."

Ye Cang shook her head helplessly, sat down on the opposite sofa, and then spoke with a slightly annoyed tone.

"Even with the help of a tail, the specially made poison is useless, and it's normal to be caught off guard and unable to react in time."

Also, Gaara is a Jonin now, so don't spout nonsense about us not training him.

Yekura values ​​Jinchuriki highly, especially now that their situation has improved considerably, and she is even more dedicated to training ninjas and Jinchuriki.

Even though Sunagakure is heavily in debt, they actually have a considerable surplus every year, and their lives are incomparable to what they used to be.

This also allows them to increase their investment in this area. Even though Gaara is Rasa's son, Yoru no longer holds a grudge. The same goes for Kankuro and Temari.

"Is that so? It seems you guys are really unlucky."

Xiuze took a sip of tea, shook his head gently, and smiled.

"I heard you sent Chiyo too. She's so old, can she really handle it?"

"We can't stop her from going if she wants to, and this time Scorpion is with her too."

Ye Cang shook her head, and she sighed as well.

"I'm afraid her biggest wish right now is to solve the scorpion problem. I wonder if she'll be able to get her wish this time."

Will things get as we wish?

Xiuze tilted his head. He didn't really know either. Normally, she had gotten what she wanted, and in the end, she gave her life to bring Gaara back.

But even Xiuze couldn't be sure where things would go from here.

But no matter what, this time he has his eye on Chiyo's technique.

Whether she lives or dies, Xiuze will demonstrate his skin-peeling nature and extract as much as possible what he wants!

"Um?"

However, at that moment, Xiuze suddenly raised an eyebrow and involuntarily stood up, looking into the distance.

"What's wrong?"

Guang looked at Xiuze with some confusion. She didn't know what Xiuze's reaction was, but she could roughly guess what it was.

"Is there a problem with Karin?"

"It should be."

Xiuze nodded, but it wasn't bad news either; he had come here specifically to see what was going on.

Now that he's in this situation, he has even more legitimate grounds.

Thinking of this, she looked at Ye Cang beside her and smiled.

"You're lucky. I'm planning to go and see for myself."

"Oh?"

Ye Cang paused for a moment, then nodded slightly.

From the conversation just now, she understood that the Konoha team had probably encountered an accident, which was why Hidezawa reacted.

She was also a little curious about what kind of accident it was, or what kind of person was in the team that would make Xiuze react this way.

But no matter what, this is a good thing!

After all, getting Xiuze to take action is no easy task.

"I'll be going now, wait for my message."

Without further ado, Xiuze manipulated the chakra within Guang's body, causing it to ripple slightly, and in an instant, they were gone.

When they reappeared, they had arrived at an oasis, where there were obvious signs of a battle!

"It looks like the battle was intense. I wonder what Karin encountered."

He glanced around and couldn't help but speak in a low voice.

"Are reinforcements from the Akatsuki? They seem quite strong, otherwise Karin wouldn't have requested them."

Karin always carries Hidezawa's Flying Thunder God Technique with her, and she only uses it when her entire team is unable to handle a situation.

For three years, Karin had never used it once, but now she actually did, which shows that they were really in trouble.

"Indeed, and..."

Xiuze sensed it briefly, and in that instant, he felt an extremely strong chakra.

Although this chakra is not as powerful as that of the old man on the moon, it possesses an extremely cold aura.

That power, filled with death and destruction yet unexpectedly possessing a life force, felt strangely familiar to Xiuze.

"Strange, why does this chakra feel somewhat familiar?"

Not only him, but Guang, who was standing to the side, also sensed something, and her brows furrowed even more.

"Why does it feel a bit like my power?"

"Is it similar to your strength?"

He paused for a moment, then seemed to understand something!

"I see. It looks like this is going to be very interesting."

"Don't do anything later, leave this to me."

"Um?"

Guang looked at Xiuze with a puzzled expression, but finally nodded.

"Who are you interested in?"

"Um."

Xiuze laughed and led Guang forward. Gradually, a red figure appeared before them.

"I am indeed very interested."

"The ninjas of your era are truly disappointing."

In the oasis, Ban crossed his arms and looked at the fallen Class 7. He shook his head slightly and said.

"Although there have been some tactical innovations, with a greater emphasis on teamwork, individual strength is still quite lacking."

Of the four of you, two possess the Sharingan, one is a Jinchūriki like Mito Uzumaki, and the other is a pure Uzumaki.

The result is that you guys played so badly that you couldn't even please me, which is extremely disappointing.

I hope the guy you summoned won't disappoint me too much.

"hateful."

Madara Uchiha's arrogance made the four members of Team 7 look unpleasant, but they had no idea how to refute him.

In an instant, literally the instant of contact, before they could even see what this guy was doing, they were all knocked to the ground!

They all knew that if this guy wanted to kill them, they probably wouldn't be able to react at all.

But who exactly is this guy, and why is he so strong?

"And he even knows the Flying Thunder God Technique?"

It was this guy in front of them who went easy on them, even reminding them to use the Flying Thunder God Technique to call for reinforcements; otherwise, they wouldn't have had a chance at all.

"Who exactly are you?"

Sasuke raised his head, his eyes bloodshot, his three-tomoe eyes fixed on Uchiha Madara.

"What exactly is your purpose?!"

"Who I am is not for you to know, you brat."

Madara Uchiha shook his head; he couldn't even be bothered to exchange a single word with Sasuke.

In his eyes, Sasuke was nothing more than the descendant of those who betrayed him back then, and he loathed such people.

Even though he sensed that Sasuke seemed different, and that the kid's Yin Release chakra seemed to be much stronger than that of a normal Uchiha.

But that's not what Sasuke is worth his attention; there are only two people in his heart.

"Me in this new era, and Hashirama in this new era?"

Do you really deserve it?!

"Um?"

However, at that moment, he suddenly felt a terrifying chakra surge coming toward him.

This made him raise an eyebrow, and as the chakra continued to gather, he suddenly had a strange feeling.

"This chakra is completely unfamiliar, yet why do I have this strange feeling of familiarity?"

Suddenly, he looked up and saw two figures walking towards him hand in hand.

Moreover, with each step of the two, the chakra that he felt was somewhat amiss grew increasingly intense.

It was as if a raging storm had locked him in place.

The last time he felt this way was during his farewell battle with Hashirama. Could it be...?

"Oh"

"It really was you!"

"Uchiha Madara."
