Konoha: From meeting Kaguya Otsutsuki

Ziyuan couldn't help but turn her head and look at him, her eyes flickering, wondering in her heart: How could he know so much?

There was tension in her childish voice. "If the monsters are released, the world will be in chaos, and even my mother will be..."

"I can help you destroy it."

"The monster cannot be destroyed, it can only be sealed." Ziyuan said with a little excitement.

"I have my own way." Yang Xi said calmly: "If you are unwilling to cooperate, then I can only use my own way to make you cooperate."

He could use the Samsara Eye to create a spirit ball and implant it into someone else's body to control that person, but he had never tried it even once.

A green chakra ball appeared in his palm and slowly approached Shion. Shion stared at the chakra ball and couldn't help but get nervous. "I can take you there, but..."

As she spoke, she shook the quilt.

Although she did not completely expose her skin and was wearing normal pajamas, she still felt uncomfortable staying in the same room with a strange man for a long time.

Yang Xi walked out to the corridor with an expressionless face.

A yellow-haired girl who was not even ten years old would not cause any waves in his heart.

The sky was dotted with stars, and the original guards and maids in the palace were lying on the ground in various postures.

After a while, light footsteps were heard, and Shion, wearing a holy shrine maiden's costume and a clear and transparent bell hanging around her neck, walked out of the bedroom.

Glancing at the people on the ground, Shion pursed her lips, clutched the bell around her neck with one hand, and asked, "Are we leaving now?"

"After daybreak."

"..." Shion was speechless for a moment, "What happened to them?"

"He's just unconscious. If you don't believe me, you can go and see for yourself."

"So when will they wake up?"

"Of course it's time for us to come back." Yang Xi said with a smile on his face.

Shion sighed silently.

Yang Xi stayed in the palace for one night.

The next morning, at daybreak, he set out with Shion.

On the sparsely populated road, Shion walked with a straight posture but very slowly.

This time, it was Yang Xi's turn to be helpless. "If you keep going like this, when will we get there? It seems like you are very reluctant."

"I do not have."

"Mister Miko, your palace is completely unprotected now. Those people are very dangerous."

Yang Xi was too lazy to have any emotional connection with her, and he comforted the girl gently, just wanting to resolve the matter here quickly.

Shion could also hear the threat in his words, and held Lingling's hand even tighter.

"Tell me the approximate location." As he said that, he picked up Ziyuan.

"Let me go." Ziyuan pinched Yang Xi's flesh and said shyly.

"Little friend, don't let your imagination run wild. After this, we won't have any more encounters."

Shion snorted.

After some awkward arguments, she finally told the route to the sealed place of the monsters.

Immediately afterwards, Yang Xi moved forward at full speed. Ziyuan could only feel the speed as if it was running at lightning speed, which made her unable to think about anything else.

The familiar scene was getting closer and closer, and a dilapidated and deserted shrine appeared in her eyes.

Yang Xi put her down.

"This is the place where the souls of monsters are sealed. It looks like a shrine, but it's actually a palace inside." Shion introduced after straightening her wrinkled clothes.

Walking forward, Yang Xi did not sense any strange aura. He turned around, looked at Ziyuan and said, "Open the seal."

"I can't." Shion turned her head away.

"Why didn't you say so earlier?"

"You never asked before."

"Little boy, don't lie, or you will be punished."

"A priestess's duty is to seal up monsters. My mother never told me how to release them, and it's impossible for her to let such a thing happen." Shion said seriously.

“……”Yang Xi was speechless.

"It's a wasted trip." Shion showed a faint smirk on her face and raised her eyebrows deliberately with a malicious look.

Glancing at her calmly, Yang Xi snapped his fingers, and White Zetsu emerged from the ground and appeared in front of the two of them. Shion was frightened and took a few steps back in shock.

"Go find a man named Huang Quan, and bring her back to the palace first."

Bai Zetsu nodded, laughed, and approached Shion. His white body began to twist in strange postures.

"do not come."

Shion screamed in fear, but she couldn't get rid of White Zetsu's entanglement. She struggled until she was out of breath, and could only allow White Zetsu to completely cover her body and she lost control of her body.

-----------------

The man named Huang Quan has been wandering in the Land of Demons, the Land of Swamps and the surrounding small countries.

In order to realize his ambition, resurrect the monsters, and establish a dark millennium kingdom, he even gathered a group of subordinates.

Yang Xi only gave a name and asked Bai Zetsu to track this person. It was difficult for others, but it was very simple for 100,000 Bai Zetsu.

Because this man did not hide his identity and had been operating under the identity of "Huang Quan", they only needed to monitor him to collect clues.

After taking Shion away, Yang Xi also asked Bai Zetsu to send him back to Shion's palace.

"Hey, what are you doing?" Shion shouted vigilantly while checking the life and death of the unconscious guards and maids.

"You're too noisy." Yang Xi said coldly, "If you eliminate the monsters, you won't have to be bound by your identity as a witch anymore. This is a good thing for you."

Ziyuan was stunned. She didn't believe that Yang Xi could destroy the ghosts, so she tried to persuade him: "Don't turn on the evil switch."

Yang Xi was too lazy to pay attention to her and turned away. This guy was of limited use anyway.

-----------------

Tian Country, Orochimaru Base.

Minato Namikaze was very excited to see Naruto again. He knew that he saw Naruto less and less often, so he happily took Naruto to reminisce the past.

As for Jiraiya, he walked into where Orochimaru often stayed.

There are two more people who have been resurrected by the Impure World Reincarnation.

The girl with purple patterns on her face stared with complicated eyes at the man with a dull expression and cracked face not far away.

Her heart was filled with distress.

I never thought that the reunion with my teacher and Obito would be such an involuntary moment...

What should I do if I meet Kakashi in the future?

Nohara Rin sighed deeply, but Obito, who was not far from her, had a blank expression on his face and did not move at all.

Out of precaution against Obito, Orochimaru simply wiped out his consciousness.

Obito was completely unaware that he had met his beloved again.

After looking at the two of them, Jiraiya quickly retracted his gaze and asked the busy Orochimaru, "Where's Sasuke?"

"At the training ground."

"The great toad sage wants to see him..." Jiraiya briefly repeated Gama Fukasaku's instructions.

-----------------

At the same time that Jiraiya and Naruto were contacting Sasuke, in the Land of Rain, Konan and Nagato were worried about Obito's long absence.

"He hasn't appeared for almost half a month..." Nagato said silently.

"Did something happen? The invader who appeared in Konoha some time ago had characteristics very similar to his." Konan said worriedly.

If it were in the past, she naturally would not worry about Obito's life or death, but now after learning from Jiraiya that Kaguya is such a powerful opponent, she really does not want the number of people in the Akatsuki organization to decrease.

Seeing that Nagato didn't say anything, Konan continued, "Nagato, do you want to go to Konoha to investigate?"

Nagato shook his head. "With his ability, he can go anywhere freely. If he hasn't appeared for a long time, it can only be..."

Although the words were not finished, both of them understood.

After thinking for a moment, Nagato instructed: "Don't tell other members of the organization about Obito's possible death."

Xiaonan nodded.

Both of them understood that there should be no more changes in the Akatsuki organization.

If others knew that they had lost another member, the already scattered morale would probably make it even more difficult to unite.

The best way to deal with it now is to make those people think that Obito continues to hide behind the scenes as before.

"Nagato, isn't it time to move up the capture of the tailed beasts?"

Nagato paused for a moment before saying, "Let those ninja villages that claim to be righteous be the vanguard first."

-----------------

After a brief meeting with Orochimaru, Jiraiya and Naruto found Sasuke at the training ground.

At this time, Sasuke was practicing the Lightning Release he learned from the Fourth Raikage and the Killer Bee brothers.

"Sasuke!" Naruto shouted excitedly.

Unconsciously, in his heart, he already regarded Sasuke as a friend.

Sasuke impatiently stopped what he was doing, turned around and asked, "What is it?"

Jiraiya walked forward, cleared his throat, and introduced in a serious manner the origins of Kaguya Otsutsuki and the fact that the Great Toad Sage wanted to see him.

After hearing this, Sasuke just sneered and said disapprovingly: "What do those people's lives have to do with me? There is no one I care about in this world anymore."

Naruto clenched his fists, very angry at Sasuke's indifference, "Sasuke, how could you do this? Do you want to watch everyone die?"

Sasuke looked at him with disdain, "Naruto, that's really stupid, are those people worth saving?"

"Don't you remember what they did to you? Why do you care about them?"

"You want to help others unilaterally, but will they really be grateful?"

"There are good and evil people in this world, and no one has the right to decide someone else's life." Jiraiya interjected.

"Yes, if they die, it's only because they are too insignificant. They deserve it. We shouldn't interfere. Why do we have to do such boring things?" Sasuke looked at him coldly.

"This is not a matter for one person. If the time comes, you will die. No one can escape." Jiraiya said solemnly.

"It doesn't matter. I live only for revenge. Everyone will die. Itachi will die, and those who are related to the extermination of the Uchiha clan will also die. As long as they disappear, my life is irrelevant." Sasuke said nonchalantly.

Jiraiya was speechless and sighed in his heart: What the hermit said was indeed just wishful thinking.

Compared to Naruto who had nothing and then got a moment of warmth, Sasuke had everything and then lost it. His heart was filled with hatred. There was nothing worth clinging to, and there was no hope in his heart.

Naruto was very unhappy with Sasuke's half-dead state. His face was full of anger. "Sasuke, what are you talking about? Someone cares, someone cares, you too..."

"Stop yelling here!" Sasuke turned away expressionlessly, not wanting to communicate with them anymore.

"Even if you don't want to, I will take you there even if I'm seriously injured." Naruto yelled.

"Just because of you, a hot-blooded idiot?" Sasuke was annoyed by his noise and looked at him angrily.

Suddenly, there seemed to be static electricity in the air, and tiny blue lights flickered.

Jiraiya frowned and looked carefully, and saw several not-so-obvious bolts of lightning attached to Sasuke.

"The secret technique of the Hidden Cloud Village?" He stroked his chin and thought.

While he was thinking, Sasuke had already concentrated the Lightning Chakra throughout his body, and his body seemed to be covered by a layer of blue chakra.

It's the Lightning Chakra mode that Sasuke learned from Ai!

His scalp was tense and his hair roots seemed to stand up at any moment. Sasuke looked at Naruto provocatively.

Facing Sasuke who exuded a powerful aura, Naruto was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect that Sasuke had made such great progress without any effort.

Sasuke was a little difficult to deal with at the moment, but Naruto was embarrassed to take back what he had just said, so he called out to the Nine-Tails in his heart.
