What Sasuke couldn't understand was that all possible insiders were very secretive about the tragic genocide of the Uchiha clan.

Based on Sasuke's judgment, Hatake Kakashi should know that there are some doubts, but he definitely doesn't know the details.

The only person who can give me an accurate answer is Mr. Mizuki.

Sasuke, who had been informed of the conditions in advance, could also understand the actions of Mizuki and Hatake Kakashi.

Not having enough strength and knowing too much is a curse rather than a blessing.

Opening the Mangekyō Sharingan is the first step towards becoming a strong person.

Now, we have finally come to this step.

Just when Sasuke was stunned, Tenzo, Hatake Kakashi and Uzumaki Naruto who had just woken up finally arrived.

The chaos of the battle is still vivid in people's minds, and it is also a pity to see Uchiha Itachi falling to the ground. This super ninja who was as strong as anyone in his lifetime, was no different from an ordinary person after his death.

Sasuke, whose body is covered with scars but whose posture is still upright, makes people feel at ease.

"Sasuke, I'm so glad you're okay!"

"How's Orochimaru?"

Kakashi Hatake, who knew a little bit of the inside story, asked hurriedly.

"Dead, probably..."

Sasuke, who had been certain that Orochimaru was dead, was suddenly counterattacked and almost defeated. Now that he had been killed completely, he was unsure.

"We'll talk about this later. It's quite rare that you were able to kill Uchiha Itachi. It looks like you won't be able to participate in the next battle. You should rest for a while."

Although Kakashi Hatake did not get any specific news, Mizuki in the rear still did not provide timely support, and the situation was really urgent.

The only thing that was a bit of a hindrance was Uchiha Itachi's body.

How to deal with it is a big problem.

Normally, after the rebel ninja was eradicated, the Anbu should have taken over, but it was different for Uchiha Itachi. The influence of the Sharingan was too great, and it involved the personal grudges of the powerful families in the ninja world that had been passed down for thousands of years.

If the matter is handled too casually, it may not satisfy all parties.

Sasuke thought about it, used summoning magic to take out a storage scroll, then sealed Uchiha Itachi's body in it and put it away.

"When did you learn the art of spiritualism and sealing?"

Uzumaki Naruto suddenly asked.

During this period of time, I have some understanding of Sasuke's strength, but I have never heard that Sasuke has any expertise in this area.

"Unconsciously..."

After finishing the finishing work, Sasuke showed a trace of fatigue. He staggered into a giant tree, leaned against it and sat down.

Naruto was a little worried and wanted to step forward to help, but Sasuke waved him away.

"I'm tired and can't help you for now!"

Even the three pursuers were exhausted, so one can imagine Sasuke's condition.

"You can't stay here alone, you should find a safe place."

If the enemy launches a surprise attack, it is hard to say whether Sasuke, who has basically lost his combat effectiveness, can be safe and sound.

At this moment, several figures suddenly appeared beside Naruto.

“Leave it to us!”

The battle was over. Mizuki, who saw through Xinzhen's eyes that the battle was over, immediately sent four clones over, intending to transfer them quickly.

"You are really late!"

"We came here to look for reinforcements."

There are still four of Pain's Six Paths left, plus Nagato's real body, and the controlled Outer Path Statue, with Konan helping, and Uchiha Obito and Zetsu watching covetously from the sidelines.

The battle situation remains tense, but the situation is somewhat unfavorable to Konoha.

The battle is urgent and there is no room for wasting time. Every physical clone is a valuable fighting force. With their low chakra levels, they can no longer send Sasuke directly back to Konoha Village to recuperate. Firstly, it is unsafe, and secondly, it would be a waste of energy.

After sending Sasuke to the medical ninja team led by Shizune, Karin and Sakura for treatment, Tenzō, Kakashi and Naruto were taken directly by Mizuki to the battlefield where Konoha and the Rinnegan were in direct conflict.

"What is that?"

As soon as they arrived, the three of them were attracted by a big guy.

"The Outer Path Demon Statue is controlled by the owner of the Samsara Eye!"

"Kakashi, that big guy is your target. It's too difficult to hurt it with ordinary attacks. The space-time ninjutsu - Kamui is the most effective."

As for Tenzo, he was arranged by Mizuki to deal with White Zetsu and his clones. As for Uzumaki Naruto, his combat power was just right to deal with the Three-Tails controlled by Uchiha Obito.

…

Mizuki glanced at the newly arrived manpower and said to Jiraiya who was panting beside him:

"Sage Mode, you can't hold on for much longer, right?"

Jiraiya nodded reluctantly.

"Not enough chakra."

It's not just chakra. If Mizuki hadn't come to help in time, Jiraiya would have collapsed under the siege.

Even Mizuki, who had used the complete form of the tailed beast continuously, faced head-on the giant ice ball that fell from the sky, and wrestled with Tendo, felt a little tired.

Jiraiya's situation was even worse. If it weren't for the omnipotence potion left to him by Mizuki, he might have been seriously injured and died.

With the dense rocket attacks from Shurado and the interference from Tendo's gravity control, Jiraiya, who had combined the power of Shima and Fukasaku, was unable to cope with all the difficulties.

"Hey, Shuimu, what can you do about that big guy? The other people, the two immortals and I can deal with them, but we can't break through the outer demon statue..."

Jiraiya's magic Goemon can only cause a little local damage to it. Although it looks serious, it does not affect its combat effectiveness, and it will slowly recover over time.

Mizuki has used the Senjutsu Rasenshuriken several times, so it is no problem to break through the body surface, but the power of the ninjutsu is still not enough to cause great damage.

"We must inflict a decisive blow, otherwise we will lose!"

"Master Jiraiya, Kakashi has this ability, but we need to delay him first!"

Shenwei consumes a lot of energy and takes a long time to prepare.

"That's really a difficult request..."

Jiraiya smiled self-deprecatingly.

"We can only count on the younger generations to help!"

Just when both sides were in danger, the same chakra fluctuations suddenly appeared on Uzumaki Naruto's body.

"What's wrong?"

With doubts, Shuimu looked back.

“It’s a good thing!”

Mizuki was right. A bunch of fat slugs, about half a meter long, suddenly broke through the air, quickly spread out, and landed on the Konoha ninjas who were in urgent need of support.

"Is it Tsunade? I didn't expect there was such a back-up plan!"

The little slug on Jiraiya's shoulder continued to emit healing power, relieving the pain in his body.

At the same time, a stream of pure chakra poured into his body, giving Jiraiya the strength to continue fighting...
