"This is truly a secluded and deep place. Naruto, is this the place you sensed?"
While Madara Uchiha and the Allied Shinobi Forces were engaged in a great battle, Kakashi, Yamato, Naruto, and Sakura quietly appeared outside the Mountain Graveyard passage.
The enemy's reanimated form caused considerable trouble for the Allied Shinobi Forces. Among the forces, only Naruto in Sage Mode was able to sense and detect the enemy's movements, enabling him to launch a surprise attack and decapitate them.
Therefore, this task was carried out by Kakashi and others. Only when the user of the Impure World Reincarnation dies or is released from control can those immortal and indestructible Impure World bodies be released.
"This should be the place."
Naruto scratched his head, a little hesitant. "The Orochimaru chakra I sensed before was here, but his chakra is very different from the previous one. There's another chakra that's very similar to Orochimaru's, but also a bit like Kabuto's."
Even stranger, there's another person here whose chakra is very similar to Sasuke's, but the differences are still quite significant.
"Sasuke, Sasuke-kun is here?!"
As soon as Naruto finished speaking, Sakura became excited. She got up and was about to rush inside, and Naruto immediately followed.
"Hey you two, slow down! Watch out for traps!"
Sakura and Naruto rushed out too fast, and Kakashi and the others had no choice but to chase after them. Fortunately, although the underground passage was extensive, dark and deep, there were no traps, so it was relatively safe.
The group continued along the tunnel and suddenly stopped when they entered a spacious underground base, because in front of them stood Uchiha Sasuke, Orochimaru, and Yakushi Kabuto in a triangular formation!
"Notice!"
Kakashi was startled and quickly shielded Naruto and Sakura behind him, confronting Sasuke and the others. It was clear that Orochimaru and his companions were also feeling uneasy about Kakashi's arrival; everyone in the room froze, exchanging bewildered glances.
"Heh, it seems you've come for those reanimated bodies too. That's what we're talking about right now, so please wait a moment."
Orochimaru broke the silence with a hoarse voice, turning to Kabuto Yakushi and saying, "Kabuto, I never imagined you could do something like this!"
"Lord Orochimaru, you...you've really been resurrected?!"
Kabuto Yakushi was very puzzled as he looked at the reappeared Orochimaru. He even deliberately disrupted the chakra in his body in an attempt to dispel the genjutsu.
"Hehehe, that's right. I have to thank Sasuke-kun for this. The curse mark I left on Anko was removed by Hyuga Kaze, so I left an extra Heavenly Curse Mark on the test subject. Fortunately, Sasuke-kun spared the test subject's life, but sealed him away. He even broke the seal not long ago and revived me."
Sasuke remained expressionless despite Orochimaru's smile. "Hmph, enough with the nonsense. Don't forget what you promised me, or I can save you, but I can also kill you again!"
"Don't worry, Sasuke-kun, this time I've decided to be someone who waits for the wind to rise."
With a slight smile, Orochimaru's gloomy aura dissipated considerably after his brush with death, making him appear like a rather aloof idol. Unfortunately, as he spoke, he habitually stuck out his long tongue and licked it, sending chills down Sakura and Naruto's spines.
"Let me talk to Dou for a while. I think you and your disciples also need to have a chat, don't you?"
"Sasuke, are you finally willing to leave the darkness and return to Konoha?"
Under Kakashi's watchful gaze, Orochimaru led Kabuto aside for a private conversation, and then Naruto couldn't wait to speak.
Sasuke Uchiha, however, still had a dark expression on his face. "I was the Fifth Hokage who killed Konoha. How can I possibly return to Konoha?"
"Cough cough"
Kakashi coughed a few times to get Sasuke and the others' attention. "That's all in the past, and if we can't stop Madara Uchiha, nothing can be undone. I know Konoha used to have a lot of darkness, including my father, but Konoha has changed now."
"It has indeed changed, become weak and feeble. What is there in Konoha now that would make me want to go back?"
As soon as Sasuke said that, Naruto immediately exclaimed, "Sasuke, what are you saying? Konoha still has me and Sakura!"
"snort"
Sasuke turned his head away arrogantly, "Did you guys already know about the Uchiha clan all along?!"
"What?"
Naruto and Sakura were completely confused by Sasuke's words, only Kakashi and Yamato understood what Sasuke was talking about.
"Actually, I only know part of it, but I'm not entirely clear on the actual situation. You also know about the Uchiha clan in the Land of Rain, right? That should be Hyuga Kaze..."
Kakashi hesitated before speaking, but Sasuke interrupted him before he could finish.
"Alright, that's enough. We can discuss whether to return to Konoha later. This time, I'll help you stop Uchiha Madara!"
As Sasuke spoke, his emotions were churning; he refused to live in a genjutsu. Itachi had done everything in his power to salvage the situation; Konoha couldn't just disappear like this.
As he thought about it, Sasuke clenched his fists. He still wanted to take revenge on Hyuga Kaze. The scene he saw when the masked man took him to the Land of Rain involuntarily came to mind.
Mother Mikoto nestled affectionately in Hyuga Kaze's arms, while the other Uchiha clan members received respect and smiles from the villagers of Yukigami Village, creating a harmonious and joyful atmosphere.
This made Sasuke's eyes turn red on the spot!
Why did you save so many people, but then abandon yourself?
Why do those Uchiha clansmen speak of Itachi and themselves with such contempt?
