Naruto: I, who didn't want to be hacked to pieces, saved the ninja world.

Uchiha Hikari didn't know what the other party wanted to take back; her past life as a weapon still had a great impact on her.

All she needs is for the other party to tell her who to deal with.

"The current Hokage of Konoha—Shirakumo Aoba."

Black Zetsu added, "Hmm...the other party is also a member of the Senju clan."

Putting aside Wood Release, Shirokumo Aoba was also Tsunade's disciple, so it's fair to say he was half a member of the Senju clan.

"The Senju clan?!"

Uchiha Hikaru subconsciously revealed his three-tomoe Sharingan.

She herself is a weapon specifically designed to counter the Senju clan, and has fought against them countless times.

Besides the Uchiha clan, they naturally hated the Senju clan the most.

"I understand, leave it to me."

Uchiha Hikaru sat up from the bed and removed the IV tubes from his body.

"...By the way, Lord Guang, there's something I need to remind you of."

Black Zetsu hesitated for a moment but decided to give the other party a reminder.

"what's up?"

Uchiha Hikaru looked at him.

"That Shirokumo Aoba is said to have a succubus-like ability that specifically targets women. Even enemies will throw themselves at him when faced with his ability and become his ninja weapon."

Black Zetsu also shared the news he had heard secondhand.

After all, Xiao Nan had already served as a cautionary tale, so he felt it was necessary to give her a reminder.

If Uchiha Hikaru suddenly switched sides, then he would be completely helpless.

"……I see."

After a moment of contemplation, Uchiha Hikaru indicated that he already knew.

However, she was filled with doubt.

What are ninja weapons?

Does that mean like the Uchiha clan used to treat her as a weapon?

That Baiyun Qingye is truly a despicable fellow!

-

At this moment, Shirokumo Aoba was unaware that she had already been targeted by the young female ancestor of the Uchiha clan.

He received the message sent back by Sasori from within the Hidden Cloud Village through his Rinnegan.

Then, accompanied by Sasuke and Konan, who had been informed beforehand, they arrived at Kumogakure.

After Sasuke learned that the Akatsuki organization had invaded Kumogakure, he immediately understood why Shirokumo Aoba had brought him there.

Because he knew that the man was in the Akatsuki organization.

Now that he has the same eyes as his opponent, this is the time for revenge!

That's why it just appeared in Kumogakure.

Sasuke couldn't wait to ask Sasori a question.

"Where is Itachi Uchiha?!"

Chapter 680 Uchiha Itachi: Something happened to my mom?

"Chief, I need to leave for a while."

Inside a makeshift cave not far from Kumogakure, Itachi Uchiha, who had been standing silently with his eyes closed, suddenly spoke.

"Ok?"

Nagato, who was controlling his Six Paths clones to fight against many ninjas from Kumogakure, frowned and looked at him.

"what's up?"

The operation has already begun, and we are now at a critical juncture. If Itachi Uchiha is going to leave suddenly, he must have a reason.

"A battle I have to fight awaits me. After today, I will never return to Akatsuki."

Uchiha Itachi lowered his eyes and said.

"Do you want to die?"

Nagato asked.

Of course, it wasn't that he wanted to kill Uchiha Itachi at this moment, but rather that he saw the will to die in the other's dark eyes.

Uchiha Itachi did not answer his question, but instead said, "If what you said before is true, then your safety is not a problem."

After saying that, his figure transformed into a crow and disappeared into the cave.

Nagato realized at this moment that the people from Konoha had probably arrived.

Shirokumo Aoba possesses the Flying Thunder God Technique, allowing him to travel from Konoha to Kumogakure in an instant. It's normal that Uchiha Itachi, being a Konoha spy, knew about his actions today.

He just couldn't understand why Itachi Uchiha seemed to be going to his death willingly.

To be honest, he chatted with the other person for a while yesterday and felt that they got along quite well.

But that was all; he then threw himself back into the battle of controlling the Six Paths.

-

"I'm sorry, the person who came is Pain, the leader of the Akatsuki organization. I didn't see Itachi Uchiha."

In response to Sasuke's question, Sasori controlled Hiruko to shake her head.

"Itachi Uchiha didn't come?"

Sasuke looked at Shirokumo Aoba with confusion. If Itachi Uchiha hadn't come, why would he have brought him along?

“I can sense Itachi Uchiha’s chakra; he’s nearby.”

Shirokumo Aoba explained something to Sasuke.

After getting the answer he wanted, Sasuke was no longer as eager as before.

Baiyun Qingye nodded to Xie again.

"You did a good job on this mission."

Although Itachi Uchiha gave him the information in advance, Sasori did indeed complete his mission.

On Scorpion's puppet-made face, an excited expression appeared. "Then, sir, what you promised me..."

"You found your parents' remains?"

"It has been found."

His parents' bodies were buried behind the memorial stone in Sunagakure, but the exact location wasn't marked, so he secretly dug up all the graves.

The Sand Village never expected that someone would secretly dig up someone else's ancestral grave. In addition, Sasori's actions were well concealed and were not discovered by the Sand Village ninjas.

There are a few more strange tales in the village used to scare children.

"Alright, once things are settled here, you can see your parents again."

"Thank you, Lord Aoba!"

After ending his conversation with Sasori, Shirakumo Aoba led Sasuke and Konan toward Itachi Uchiha's undisguised chakra.

Everyone in Kumogakure was focused on the fierce battle in the center of the village. Although the battle had only just begun, it had already reached a fever pitch.

Killer Bee directly transformed into a Tailed Beast, becoming an enormous Gyuki with eight tentacles.

The Fourth Raikage, his body crackling with lightning, stood atop it, battling Pain, who was riding a summoned beast.

Even though Pain hasn't used Shinra Tensei yet, half of Kumogakure is already in ruins.

Therefore, Baiyun Qingye and his companions made almost no attempt to conceal their presence, brazenly making their way on their journey.

After running for a while, Sasuke finally saw the figure he had been longing for.

"Uchiha... Itachi!"

Sasuke practically roared.

Upon seeing the three, Itachi Uchiha gave Shirokumo Aoba a look, indicating Nagato's location, and then turned and ran.

"Baiyun Qingye, hand him over to me!"

Sasuke followed without hesitation.

Shirokumo Aoba felt somewhat helpless looking at Sasuke's eagerness.

However, judging from the current situation, Sasuke's strength should be above Itachi's.

After all, he contracted a bloodline disease when he awakened his Kaleidoscope Sharingan, and his eye power was depleted, leaving his life hanging by a thread.

The other one had just awakened and still had ample eye power replenishment, remaining full of vitality.

Sasuke also has his Flying Thunder God mark on him, so he can arrive immediately if anything happens.

"Aoba, should we follow them, or go directly to Payne?"

Xiao Nan approached Bai Yun Qingye and asked him about his plans for the future.

After thinking for a while, Shirokumo Aoba said, "Sister Konan, you should go first. Pain's main body should be located there."

He pointed in the direction that Itachi Uchiha had indicated earlier.

Then he continued, "I'll go and take care of the Eight-Tails and the Fourth Raikage first."

Now that he has become the daimyo of the Land of Fire, he is essentially standing directly against the entire ninja world.

Things like having a legitimate reason for a campaign are no longer a concern.

"Then you pay attention to safety."

Konan gave a few words of advice and then headed towards Nagato's location.
