Chapter 578: Lord Sasuke, Someone's Meddling in Our Affairs!
Chapter 578: Lord Sasuke, Someone's Meddling in Our Affairs!
Rin had become a disciple of Night City, and being the obedient girl she was, she naturally followed Night City's arrangements, only looking at him with hopeful eyes, wishing for her teacher to save Obito.
As for the usually proud Kakashi, after witnessing Night City's battle with the Three-Tailed Beast, he had become more low-key.
Night City had directly pinned the Three-Tailed Beast to the ground, and even he found this formidable enemy challenging. He felt that if he followed, he would only be a burden.
Jirou Hyuga and Yui Yamanaka were mere bystanders; the Hokage had assigned them to protect the Jinchuuriki. So, wherever Rin and Kushina were, they would be there too.
The only one unwilling to follow the arrangement was, of course, Tsunade, the most senior and respected among them.
Tsunade, the perverted one... ahem, Tsunade insisted that she was one of the renowned Sannin of the Shinobi World, and no one could consider her a burden. Therefore, she had to accompany them on this trip.
Furthermore, Tsunade had broken her principles for her disciple, Night City. Now that Night City was facing such a dangerous enemy, how could she, Tsunade, obediently return to Konoha?
"Tsunade-sama, let me accompany Night City. I can use the Second Hokage's Flying Thunder God Technique, and Kushina has my Kunai with sealed techniques.
If we encounter real danger, I can use space-time ninjutsu to escape with Night City."
Night City had planned to go alone to dig up Uchiha Sasuke's grave, but upon hearing Naruto's words, he didn't say more.
Clearly, regarding Obito's situation, Naruto, as a teacher, felt responsible and wanted to personally rescue his disciple.
It was out of the question to let Tsunade and Naruto accompany him to find Uchiha Sasuke; after all, besides Night City, they were the two strongest here.
If Naruto and Tsunade both left, who would protect Kushina and Rin? Jirou Hyuga, Yui Yamanaka, and Kakashi?
Don't be ridiculous; the three of them combined might not even defeat Kushina alone.
If they went to dig up Uchiha Sasuke while he sent a Shadow Clone, it would be enough to annihilate Kushina and the others.
The Jinchuuriki might be a formidable force for others, but for a Sharingan user like Uchiha Sasuke, the Tailed Beasts were like his own people.
In the end, Night City persuaded Tsunade with great difficulty, citing reasons like Rin now being Tsunade's disciple.
If someone had to accompany them, Naruto was indeed a better choice than Tsunade.
Although both were top-tier support characters, Naruto's ability to create a teleportation portal outweighed Tsunade's unparalleled healing abilities in the face of danger.
There was no other choice; the burden was too heavy...
After Tsunade, Kushina, and the others left, Night City and Naruto also began their journey.
Uchiha Sasuke's hiding place was not far from here or the previous Shinobu Bridge.
Uchiha Sasuke was already very old, and controlling the Tailed Beasts from afar was a significant strain for him. So, his hiding place wasn't far, just hidden deep within an underground cave, making it undetectable to ordinary people.
Just as Night City, with his exceptional Aura Sense, was leading Naruto closer to Uchiha Sasuke's location, ten kilometers away in a remote area, Uchiha Sasuke also sensed the disappearance of the Three-Tailed Beast's chakra.
"That Senju Clan brat defeated the Three-Tailed Beast on his own; he's more capable than I thought.
I didn't expect that after Hashirama and Tobirama, the Senju Clan would still have some capable members.
Yecheng's ability to defeat the Three-Tails was something Uchiha Sasuke had not anticipated.
Although he had been hiding underground these years, he was not unaware of the situation in the Ninja World.
Since the death of Tobirama Senju, in Sasuke's eyes, the Senju Clan had completely declined.
The only one who could be considered competent was Tsunade, but in Sasuke's opinion, she was merely a mediocre talent. Her abilities and strength were incomparable to her two grandfathers.
He had initially thought that with the Three-Tails' strength against a mere Senju brat, it would be an easy victory. He had even awakened Orochimaru, preparing to let him watch the show, but instead, the Three-Tails was defeated by the other party.
"Lord Sasuke, the situation is bad. The Three-Tails has been defeated by Senju Yecheng and successfully sealed into Haruno Rin's body. Our initial plan has failed."
Hearing Kakuzu's urgent report, Sasuke maintained a calm expression.
"The Three-Tails' chakra has disappeared; I had already guessed the outcome." Unlike Kakuzu, who showed signs of anxiety, Sasuke appeared calm, having experienced the ups and downs of the Ninja World. This situation was not significant to him.
Although the events had taken him by surprise, the current situation was still under their control.
Those who undertake great endeavors remain unperturbed in the face of adversity. Compared to Sasuke, Kakuzu seemed immature, and it was evident that he was not someone capable of accomplishing great feats.
"Indeed, Lord Sasuke, you already knew that Senju Yecheng defeated the Three-Tails.
So, he's now following the Golden Flash and has reached your grave, intending to start digging. You must have anticipated this, right?"
Seeing Sasuke's confident demeanor, Kakuzu also became more composed.
Indeed, although this generation's Indra had been played with by Sasuke, it was undeniable that Yecheng had both intelligence and strength. Perhaps these two Konoha genius ninjas had already fallen under his control?
"What? You mean that Senju brat is already above us? How did they find this place, Kakuzu? Did you expose our location?"
When he heard that Yecheng was above them and preparing to dig, Sasuke could no longer remain calm and glared at Kakuzu, believing he had exposed their location.
"Lord Sasuke, you can't blame me for this. We believe we didn't show any flaws, but that Senju Yecheng seems to have strong sensing abilities."
On the other side, Yecheng and Naruto, who had arrived above Uchiha, stopped running in a suburban area.
Looking at Yecheng's thoughtful expression, Naruto was puzzled and asked, "Yecheng, why did you stop? Is there a problem?"
Yecheng smiled and said, "No, there's no problem. We've reached our destination."
"We're here? But this place is desolate, and there's nothing... Wait, you mean..." Naruto was also smart. With just a glance around, he understood the situation.
"You're right. According to my sensing, they should be right under our feet. So, let's start digging!"
As Yecheng spoke, he took out two shovels from the sealing scroll, throwing one directly to the bewildered Naruto.
