Chapter 462: Chapter 465

After getting the information of Itachi from Orochimaru, Sasuke and Karin left the Orochimaru base together.

Karin is the orphan of the Uzumaki Clan. Yamanaka Ryo made a special treat, so Orochimaru left her at the base. Suigetsu and Jugo are still at other bases. So, just like in the original manga, Sasuke went to meet them first.

After all team members gathered, four of them headed to Itachi’s location.

………

At the same time, Nagato once again summoned Akatsuki’s members.

“So, everyone. Sasori is dead.” Nagato announced.

Everyone at Akatsuki was taken aback. They knew that Sasori’s strength was among the best in Akatsuki.

“What about Deidara? He didn’t come yet. Did he …” Itachi asked.

“Deidara is fine. I asked him to verify Sanbi’s information. Itachi, Hoshigaki Kisame. You go to the Land of Earth and get Yonbi. And Tobi, you will take care of Nibi. According to our information, Nibi just left the Land of Clouds. “

“Hey, I told you, I’m not good at fighting.”

“Don’t complain.”

“Yeah, Fine! Let’s do it! We will soon get Sanbi, Nibi, and Yonbi in our hands. I will catch Rokubi myself, plus the other one. We have had Shichibi before too. Now only Hachibi and Kyuubi are left. “

“Hachibi and Kyuubi are not so easy to get. Hachibi has perfect Jinchūriki and better to not underestimate Fourth Raikage’s strength. As for Konoha, Yamanaka Ryo is difficult to handle already for me, let alone other people.” Itachi said lightly.

“It doesn’t matter. As for Kumogakure’s Hachibi, I will figure it out somehow. As for Kyuubi, as far as I know, Yamanaka Ryo is currently absent from Konoha. He has not appeared for a whole year.” Black Zetsu said with a smile.

Nagato asked, “Yamanaka Ryo hasn’t appeared in a year? Are you sure?”

Black Zetsu nodded.

Nagato secretly said, “Without Yamanaka Ryo, Konoha’s battle strengths will be Uchiha Shisui, Hatake Kakashi, Hatake Sakumo, and Uzumaki Kushina. Tsunade is a medical ninja, and as Hokage, she will put villagers’ safety as the primary mission. Jiraiya is not in Konoha all year round, and Third Hokage is old and won’t be a threat…”

“…My Rinnegan has a taboo Dojutsu, which can instantly release a huge repulsive force and raze the entire Konoha to the ground. This can instantly solve Konoha’s large number of trash Ninja.”

Nagato’s words made Hoshigaki Kisame excited, and he remembered Guy, who had hand-hand combat with him twice before. “Nagato, do you mean we’re attacking Konoha together?”

Nagato shook his head. “No, assault on Konoha will be Konan and me. It should be enough. You and Itachi have other missions as well.”

“What mission?”

“You will know later. That’s it for today!”

Nagato and Konan disappeared after speaking.

………

In the village of Konoha, Naruto’s group finally returned to the village after fulfilling Rōran’s mission.

Naruto always felt that he had forgotten something along the way, and so did Yamato. However, they still feel excited. The difference was that Naruto’s excitement came from seeing his relatives after a long time, and Yamato’s came from revenge.

After returning to Konoha, Yamato and Naruto reported the details of the mission to Tsunade. They happened to meet Kakashi there, too.

Tsunade and Kakashi listened to Yamato’s report. After hearing the place name Rōran, Kakashi’s expression looked a bit surprised. After a while, it seemed like something inside his mind was exploding.

It’s been more than twenty years since Namikaze Minato used Fūinjutsu and sealed their memory. Namikaze Minato’s technique used Chakra; after all, after more than two decades, the Cakra has weakened. Kakashi’s mind was triggered by the word Rōran, and the seal’s now broken.

Kakashi, after receiving this sudden memory, patted his head. He looked at Yamato and Naruto with a weird look. Tsunade noticed Kakashi’s strange expression and asked, “Kakashi, what happened to you?”

Kakashi shook his head, “It’s nothing. I just remember something.”

Tsunade didn’t ask but signaled Yamato to continue. Yamato ended the report because after Mukade unraveled the Ryūmyaku seal, his memories were sealed by Namikaze Minato.

Kakashi smiled and said, “Hokage-sama, I will write a report to tell you what happened afterward.”

Tsunade asked strangely, “You? How did you know?”

“He was actually brought to the past by the power of Ryūmyaku. It happened to be that mission, Me, Minato sensei, and Kushina sensei were all there. I will explain it to you in the report.”

Tsunade’s eyes brightened. “Travelling through time and space? Interesting. Go back and give me the report as soon as possible.”

Kakashi responded with a nod and left Hokage’s Office with Naruto and Yamato.

…….

As they went downstairs, Naruto asked, “Kakashi sensei, what happened then?”

Kakashi smiled and said, “It’s nothing. You’re doing a good job overall. But I didn’t expect someone with thick eyebrows and big eyes to say about me so much!”

With Kakashi’s words, Yamato felt a murderous aura behind him. But he couldn’t remember anything, let alone why Kakashi would target him now.

……..

A few days later, a war broke out in the Land of Earth border, and nearby residents reported that the battle was like a volcanic eruption.

Ōnoki immediately sent someone to check. After Ōnoki’s people rushed to the Land of Earth border, they found that Yonbi, who had been living here, was gone, leaving only traces of burns from lava and water.

A similar thing happened in the Land of Iron. This time Jinchūriki of Nibi was missing.

………

Konoha, Hokage’s Office.

Anbu Ninja hurriedly handed Tsunade a Scroll. Tsunade opened Scroll and took a quick look. The content in the Scroll was about Sanbi’s movement, and the location where Sanbi appeared was near the Land of Fire.

After hesitating for a moment, Tsunade decided to send someone to check on all Bijuu.

………

Otogakure, Anko also received a report from subordinate Ninja, claiming that they found Sanbi’s trail. Kimimaro happened to be at her side.

Anko smiled and asked, “Kimimaro, are you interested in seeing it?”

Kimimaro took Scroll and glanced and said, “I’ll go! It’s Sanbi; after all, they can’t handle it alone.”

“Well, I’ll leave it to you. Remember to bring some people, maybe there will be something unexpected happen.”

“Okay.”

………

Two days later, Konoha Ninja and Otogakure arrived at the same time at Sanbi’s place.

When Kimimaro saw Konoha’s Ninja, he walked in front of Kakashi and said, “Hello, Master Kakashi! I’m Kimimaro, Orochimaru-sama’s disciple. And I’m a Jōnin of Otogakure.”
