After listening to Sakura’s explanation, Gaara turned his eyes to Chiyo and Sasori. Then he closed his eyes and felt the situation within his body. The place where Shukaku was originally located was already empty, and there was only a clump of Chakra.

Gaara sighed, struggling to stand up, bowed to Grandma Chiyo, then put away Grandma Chiyo and Sasori’s corpses and left the cave with Sakura’s help.

……….

In the desert of Sunagakure, Deidara riding a giant clay dragon was moving at full speed and wanted to leave the Land of Wind as soon as possible. When he just flew out of Sunagakure’s air territory, the clay dragon of Deidara was almost overturned by a sudden burst of Chakra.

Deidara was curious, who would have such a powerful Chakra? Could it be another Bijuu? With that in mind, Deidara took the dragon clay down. As the clay dragon slowly descended, Deidara saw a silhouette filled with green vapor, waving its fist against the air.

Its punch gave out the flames that Deidara could feel the heat in the air even if it was more than ten meters apart.

Deidara’s expression greatly changed, knowing that the silhouette of green in front of him would be hard to deal with. Besides, it was not Bijuu. There was no need to fight him, so he brought the giant dragon clay to take off.

……….

The next day, under the auspices of Gaara, Sunagakure hosted a funeral for Chiyo.

After Chiyo’s funeral, Naruto’s entire group left Sunagakure. But before returning to Konoha, Naruto’s group was approached by Anbu Ninja of Sunagakure. They said that they hope Naruto can help them to locate the runaway Missing-nin, Mukade.

“Mukade? Who is he?” Yamato asked Anbu Ninja from Sunagakure.

“Mukade was originally a Puppeteer of our village. When Akatsuki attacked our village this time, we only knew that Mukade was the spy that Sasori prepared to lurk in our village. He was also the one who stabbed Lord Pakura. Our village has just gone through a big war, and now we are short on manpower, so Lord Kazekage wants to ask for Konoha’s assistance.”

Hearing that Mukade was the one that stabbed Lord Pakura, Yamato immediately agreed to help. Then Anbu of Sand Ninja handed Yamato a Scroll. The content of the Scroll is the latest whereabouts of Mukade.

After browsing the content of Scroll, Yamato’s expression became serious. “I did not expect that this Mukade actually wanted to move Ryūmyaku of Rōran. The specific situation will explain to you on the road, Naruto, Sakura. We will go now. We must catch him.”

Naruto and Sakura glance at each other, saying, “Yes, Captain Yamato!”

………

At the same time, in a laboratory at Land of Rice Fields, Otogakure, Orochimaru, and Yamanaka Ryo with Kaguya’s Chakra merge have come to an end.

About a year ago, Yamanaka Ryo merged his body Inyoton Chakra with Chakra in Kaguya.

Over the next month, Mangekyou Sharingan from Yamanaka Ryo gradually began to incorporate Kaguya Chakra from Inyoton. And his eyes began to metamorphose after absorbing more than half of Chakra. To this day, Yamanaka Ryo’s eyes suddenly become purple and then ripples from the center of the pumps. The ripples were very light at first, hardly visible, but with the addition of Kaguya Chakra, the ripples became deeper and vivid, and Rinnegan’s eyes’ power became stronger and stronger.

A few days later, three tomoe emerged from Rinnegan on the left of Yamanaka Ryo’s eye. So far, it looked like Kaguya’s Chakra was exhausted.

Yamanaka Ryo slowly opened his eyes, feeling Rinnegan Powerful’s eyes power. Then he closed his eyes again, combining the power of Korin.

With the integration of Korin’s power, a white gown appeared on Yamanaka Ryo’s body. Two small horns grew on his forehead, and the skin color also turned into milky white. Six black Truth-Seeking Balls appeared behind him.

Yamanaka Ryo’s thoughts moved, and a Truth-Seeking Ball behind him turns into a black tin rod. Yamanaka Ryo waved the tin rod gently on the air, and the space followed with a ripple.

Seeing this, Yamanaka Ryo was a little surprised and whispered to himself, “Is this Rikudō Mode? It is powerful, but unfortunately, this is not what I want.” Saying that Yamanaka Ryo lifted Rikudō Mode and continued to sit down.

Yamanaka Ryo tried to combine Rinnegan’s eyes power, Korin’s power, with his own Hyoton. Rikudō Mode is the peak power of this world, but Yamanaka Ryo’s Hyoton is not from this world. He believed his power of Hyoton must be in this world’s Rikudō Mode.

Yamanaka Ryo’s intuition told him that with Rikudō Mode alone, he can’t cope with Kaguya… Let alone Ōtsutsuki Clan, cause they are more terrifying.

So for him, strengthening Hyoton is imperative.

……..

Outside the lab, Orochimaru sensed the change from Yamanaka Ryo. The imposing-manner revealed on Yamanaka Ryo made him both excited and afraid. But after a few minutes, the imposing-manner disappeared.

“What is this guy doing?”

“What’s wrong with you, sensei?” Anko asked, whispering to Orochimaru.

Orochimaru waved his hand and said, “It’s nothing, just remembering something that needs to be taken care of. How has Sasuke been doing recently?”

“He is still the same and has been training.”

“What about the curse seal?” Orochimaru asked.

“Very stable, although he failed to learn Sage Mode in Ryūchi Cave, the curse seal unexpectedly fit him.”

Orochimaru nodded. “Well, that’s good! Sasuke’s current strength is not much different from when you enter Sage Mode. I said a long time ago that I will tell him about Itachi when he is strong enough. I think now it’s time.”

Anko hesitated for a moment and then said, “Sensei, according to our information, Itachi’s Susanoo can already use the Third Stage. With Sasuke’s current strength, he has no chance at all.”

“Sasuke also has Mangekyō. Although Dojutsu has only one eye Awakening, Mangekyō is Mangekyō and shouldn’t be underestimated. And Uchiha Itachi’s physical condition is placed there. According to his current situation, even if he can summon Susanoo, it won’t last long, and Sasuke’s chance isn’t zero.” Orochimaru said lightly.

“Then what do you mean…”

“Tell him where Uchiha Itachi is, and let him leave with Karin. By the way, tell him the location of Suigetsu and Jugo. Also, let Kimimaro write a letter to Jugo in advance and ask him to help Sasuke. He’s my half disciple. This is the only thing I can do. “

“Sensei, you are really biased! Kimimaro and I haven’t seen you so much.” Anko said with envy.

Hearing this, Orochimaru’s expression became serious, “Anko, I am indeed eccentric. If one day I leave, I’ll leave the whole Otogakure to you.”
