After listening to Sakuraâs 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 Sasoriâs corpses and left the cave with Sakuraâs help.
â¦â¦â¦.
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 Sunagakureâs 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.
Deidaraâs 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.
â¦â¦â¦.
The next day, under the auspices of Gaara, Sunagakure hosted a funeral for Chiyo.
After Chiyoâs funeral, Narutoâs entire group left Sunagakure. But before returning to Konoha, Narutoâs group was approached by Anbu Ninja of Sunagakure. They said that they hope Naruto can help them to locate the runaway Missing-nin, Mukade.
âMukade? Who is he?â Yamato asked Anbu Ninja from Sunagakure.
âMukade 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 Konohaâs assistance.â
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, Yamatoâs expression became serious. âI did not expect that this Mukade actually wanted to move RyÅ«myaku of RÅran. The specific situation will explain to you on the road, Naruto, Sakura. We will go now. We must catch him.â
Naruto and Sakura glance at each other, saying, âYes, Captain Yamato!â
â¦â¦â¦
At the same time, in a laboratory at Land of Rice Fields, Otogakure, Orochimaru, and Yamanaka Ryo with Kaguyaâs 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 Ryoâs 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 Rinneganâs eyesâ power became stronger and stronger.
A few days later, three tomoe emerged from Rinnegan on the left of Yamanaka Ryoâs eye. So far, it looked like Kaguyaâs Chakra was exhausted.
Yamanaka Ryo slowly opened his eyes, feeling Rinnegan Powerfulâs eyes power. Then he closed his eyes again, combining the power of Korin.
With the integration of Korinâs power, a white gown appeared on Yamanaka Ryoâs 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 Ryoâs 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, âIs this RikudÅ Mode? It is powerful, but unfortunately, this is not what I want.â Saying that Yamanaka Ryo lifted RikudÅ Mode and continued to sit down.
Yamanaka Ryo tried to combine Rinneganâs eyes power, Korinâs power, with his own Hyoton. RikudÅ Mode is the peak power of this world, but Yamanaka Ryoâs Hyoton is not from this world. He believed his power of Hyoton must be in this worldâs RikudÅ Mode.
Yamanaka Ryoâs intuition told him that with RikudÅ Mode alone, he canât cope with Kaguya⦠Let alone Åtsutsuki Clan, cause they are more terrifying.
So for him, strengthening Hyoton is imperative.
â¦â¦..
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.
âWhat is this guy doing?â
âWhatâs wrong with you, sensei?â Anko asked, whispering to Orochimaru.
Orochimaru waved his hand and said, âItâs nothing, just remembering something that needs to be taken care of. How has Sasuke been doing recently?â
âHe is still the same and has been training.â
âWhat about the curse seal?â Orochimaru asked.
âVery stable, although he failed to learn Sage Mode in RyÅ«chi Cave, the curse seal unexpectedly fit him.â
Orochimaru nodded. âWell, thatâs good! Sasukeâs 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 itâs time.â
Anko hesitated for a moment and then said, âSensei, according to our information, Itachiâs Susanoo can already use the Third Stage. With Sasukeâs current strength, he has no chance at all.â
âSasuke also has MangekyÅ. Although Dojutsu has only one eye Awakening, MangekyÅ is MangekyÅ and shouldnât be underestimated. And Uchiha Itachiâs physical condition is placed there. According to his current situation, even if he can summon Susanoo, it wonât last long, and Sasukeâs chance isnât zero.â Orochimaru said lightly.
âThen what do you meanâ¦â
âTell 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. Heâs my half disciple. This is the only thing I can do. â
âSensei, you are really biased! Kimimaro and I havenât seen you so much.â Anko said with envy.
Hearing this, Orochimaruâs expression became serious, âAnko, I am indeed eccentric. If one day I leave, Iâll leave the whole Otogakure to you.â
