Chapter 761: He is Uchiha Sasuke!

Chapter 761: He is Uchiha Sasuke!



"Nagato, Kakuzu, Orochimaru, Jiraiya, Hatake Kakashi, Might Guy, Uchiha Izumi, Uchiha Daito, Hinata..."

Sasori slowly recited the names on the support squad list.

Upon hearing the first three names, Ken Kyuro almost lost his composure. Was this an Akatsuki team-building exercise? How could they all be villains?

When he heard Jiraiya's name, Ken Kyuro's expression improved slightly, relieved that there was finally a righteous character.

"If these people really exist, then Sasori might not be lying, and there really is another world!"

Ken Kyuro's expression turned solemn.

Among the people Sasori mentioned, he recognized half of them, and many were well-known deceased individuals, like Nagato, who had died not long ago.

"And the leader of Feathered Moon."

When mentioning Feathered Moon, Sasori showed a hint of respect.

He had always admired Feathered Moon, and after learning about the life of the Reincarnated Sasori, his admiration grew even more.

"Leader? Is this Feathered Moon your captain?"

Ken Kyuro asked curiously.

"He is the leader of our world," Sasori replied briefly.

Ken Kyuro nodded thoughtfully, believing that Feathered Moon was a figure similar to the commander of the Ninja Alliance.

After confirming the information, Ken Kyuro instructed his subordinates to contact the command center and relay all the intelligence.

The command center's personnel were all stunned by the shocking information, finding it hard to believe.

"Suddenly, a living Sasori appeared and helped them defeat the enemy's surprise attack unit, claiming to be a ninja from another world. The intelligence ninja in the surprise attack unit wouldn't be controlled by the enemy, and they're just babbling to disrupt our tactics!"

The Fourth Raikage slapped the table, his face filled with disbelief.

"He even claims his teammates are Nagato, Kakuzu, and Jiraiya. Do they seem like a team?"

"Jiraiya..."

Tsunade was taken aback, never expecting to hear this familiar name again in such strange news.

"Shizune, please sense the situation of the surprise attack unit."

Shikamaru Nara, after a moment of contemplation, spoke to Shizune.

"The enemy's chakra has disappeared, matching the information about the completed sealing."

Shizune quickly sensed and reported.

The people in the command center looked at each other.

Although the information sounded false, the achievements of the surprise attack unit were real.

"Regardless, this intelligence is too shocking to be easily believed."

The closest unit to the surprise attack unit was the Third Division led by Kakashi.

"Tell that Sasori that we'll help him find his teammates. Then, cancel the surprise attack unit's mission and have them return to assist the Third Division."

This way, they could protect the 'visitor from another world' and monitor them in case it was a plot by Uchiha Sasuke.

Ohnoki thought for a moment and said.

"That's the safest option."

Shikamaru Nara nodded in agreement.

Since Sasori and Kakashi were teammates in another world, they must have had a good relationship.

Having this world's Kakashi communicate with Sasori was undoubtedly a good choice.

"Then, let's proceed with that."

The Fourth Raikage nodded in agreement.

Although Sasori's information sounded false, they couldn't be rude to him after he helped the surprise attack unit.

Before the command center personnel could take a break, two pieces of bad news arrived.

The Fourth Division, led by Love Bird, reported encountering four Impure World Reincarnated Kage.

Additionally, the intelligence department sensed that Darui's First Division had encountered a large number of White Zetsu and Impure World Reincarnated ninjas, including well-known powerful individuals like Golden and Silver Horns.

The command center quickly adjusted their tactics, ordering the Fourth Division to temporarily retreat and sending reinforcements to the First Division. Meanwhile, the Tsuchikage left the command center to join the Fourth Division, determined to block his former teacher.

...

First Division Battlefield:

"It's Golden and Silver Horns, who killed the Second Hokage and the Second Raikage!"

"It's Akatsuki's Kakuzu!"

"That's Konoha's elite Jonin, Sarutobi Asuma, and Hyuga Neji!"

The Ninja Alliance members stared at the enemies who had suddenly attacked from the seaside, quickly recognizing the more famous figures among them.

Golden and Silver Horns had the most significant reputation, causing some Cloud Village ninjas to break out in a cold sweat.

These were ruthless individuals who had killed two Kage, and even with an elite squad, their strength and methods were formidable.

"What's going on here? Is this still Loulan?"

After his daze, Jiraiya casually glanced around and realized that behind him were ninjas in various village uniforms, while in front were countless White Zetsu.

"I think Loulan doesn't have a sea," Orochimaru replied, gazing at the endless ocean. Loulan was a country located in the desert.

"This might be the minor disturbance Feathered Moon mentioned," Kakuzu said, casually observing the surroundings.

Before the crossing, Feathered Moon had warned them several times that a minor disturbance might occur during the crossing, but there was no need to panic. They just needed to protect themselves and find their teammates.

"It's Jiraiya-sama and Orochimaru! Could it be that they've also been Impure World Reincarnated?"

Some sharp-eyed Konoha ninjas noticed the three figures who had suddenly appeared in the middle of the battlefield.

The First Division ninjas gasped, their hearts sinking.

Golden and Silver Horns, along with Orochimaru and Jiraiya—what kind of luck did they have?

Jiraiya and Orochimaru were ninjas on par with the Fifth Hokage, legendary figures.

Orochimaru's presence also shocked Kabuto, who was observing the movements on all battlefields.

"Orochimaru-sama!"

Through the Impure World Reincarnated ninjas' perspective, Kabuto stared at Orochimaru, completely stunned.

Of course, he could tell that Orochimaru, who had suddenly appeared, was a living person.

Sasori's words were proven true; there really was another world!

Kakuzu took a deep breath, and his expression returned to calm.

With Uchiha Susano as his trump card, neither Orochimaru nor Nagato could be of use.

All the powerful beings he could summon with Summoning: Impure World Reincarnation had been summoned, and even if Orochimaru from the other world was also reincarnated, he couldn't fight against his army of reincarnated beings.

Now, he had shed his snake skin and transformed into a dragon!

Orochimaru's arrival wouldn't stop him either.

"Wait, there are two Kakuzus."

Someone noticed that the person beside Orochimaru and Jiraiya was also Kakuzu, but his appearance and demeanor were slightly different.

"And they don't seem to be reincarnated. Look at their eyes."

While Jiraiya and the others were surveying the battlefield, the ninjas were also closely observing them. Soon, they were surprised to discover that Jiraiya and the other two were not reincarnated ninjas.

The intelligence ninja quickly reported this information to the command center.

The entire command center was shocked. Sasori actually had teammates, and they were indeed Orochimaru and Jiraiya.

The command center quickly responded, telling the first division that they didn't need to worry about Jiraiya and the others' identities; they were allies who had come to help the alliance.

Since there were many Leaf ninjas in the ninja alliance, and the White Zetsu Army leader didn't look like a good person, Jiraiya and the others quickly identified which side was their aid target for this mission.

"It's been a long time since we've fought together, Orochimaru. Want to see who can eliminate more enemies? The loser treats the winner to grilled meat."

Jiraiya looked at the approaching army of reincarnated by the White Zetsu, and laughed as he flexed his wrist.

"Then you'd better be ready to treat me."

Orochimaru replied with a slight smirk.

In these years of following Feathered Moon, he had made significant progress.

"Summoning Jutsu!"

Jiraiya quickly formed hand seals and slammed his hand on the ground.

A cloud of smoke appeared, and a giant red toad emerged in front of Jiraiya.

"What's going on? Am I still dreaming?"

Toad Bunta, seeing Jiraiya 'play dead', had a look of disbelief.

"This is the battlefield; we can't afford to be distracted. Use Toad Oil."

Jiraiya didn't explain but jumped onto Toad Bunta's head, allowing him to use his ninjutsu.

Toad Bunta then realized he was on the battlefield and transformed his chakra into a large amount of Toad Oil, which he spat out in one breath.

"Toad Oil Flame Bomb!"

As Toad Bunta spat out the oil, Jiraiya immediately released a large amount of fire, instantly creating a sea of flames over a hundred meters wide, clearing out the White Zetsu in front of him.

"The summoning contract actually works in this world."

Orochimaru showed a surprised expression.

Kakuzu and the others had brought their respective summoned beasts.

Orochimaru disliked the stubbornness of the Giant Snake and didn't bother to bring it.

"Summoning Jutsu!"

Orochimaru, seeing this, also performed hand seals to summon the Giant Snake for labor.

White smoke appeared, but nothing happened.

"There's no Giant Snake in this world, or it's dead."

Orochimaru furrowed his brows slightly.

He naturally understood that his summoning had failed because the summoned beast he wanted to summon didn't exist, and there was no other beast to replace it, creating this awkward situation.

"Haha, it seems you're going to lose, Orochimaru."

Jiraiya showed a proud expression.

"Then you watch."

Orochimaru coldly laughed and gathered a large amount of natural energy around him.

The reason he didn't bother bringing the Giant Snake was that with his current strength, the Giant Snake couldn't provide him with much help.

"Wind Style Sage Mode!"

Orochimaru synthesized the natural energy into Sage Technique and focused his breathing, entering the Wind Style Sage Mode, his body radiating a cyan chakra glow.

"Sage Technique: Vacuum Dragon!"

Orochimaru exhaled a powerful wind-style air current, which sliced the White Zetsu and reincarnated ninjas around him into pieces.

The air currents rapidly converged into a giant white dragon, and a terrifying hurricane instantly swept the entire area.

With the overwhelming wind power, even the ninjas behind Orochimaru had to gather chakra on their feet to prevent being blown away.

The dragon carried a large number of wind blades, and even the reincarnated Jonin ninjas were quickly torn apart by the wind blades. The White Zetsu Army was instantly annihilated.

In the blink of an eye, hundreds of White Zetsu turned into a pile of White Zetsu fragments.

"Orochimaru, you've actually mastered Sage Technique."

Jiraiya showed a surprised expression.

"Is this the breathing Sage Technique that Feathered Moon mentioned?"

Feathered Moon had previously asked Jiraiya if he wanted to learn the breathing Sage Technique.

However, Jiraiya felt that the Sage Technique of Mount Myoboku was good enough, and since he didn't want to go back, he politely declined.

"No wonder you're one of the Legendary Sannin; you're all ridiculously strong!"

The attacks of the two left the ninja alliance in awe, feeling that they weren't needed here. Jiraiya, Orochimaru, and the Sealing Class could defend the coastline.

"You don't look so good."

Kakuzu didn't join in the passionate comparison between Jiraiya and Orochimaru but instead noticed the reincarnated Kakuzu and directly rushed to the reincarnated Kakuzu's front, stopping the one who wanted to snatch the ninja alliance's heart.

"You're mocking me by taking my form? I'll make you look even worse."

The reincarnated Kakuzu looked at the ninja in front of him, who had the same appearance but exuded a positive and uplifting aura, and felt very displeased.

"Earthly Fury!"

The reincarnated Kakuzu activated his chakra, causing black lines to burst out all over his body, shooting towards Kakuzu.

"Such an aggressive attitude will not yield any benefits in negotiations."

Kakuzu shook his head and began to gather his chakra.

"Earthly Fury!"

More black lines shot out from Kakuzu's body, instantly defeating the Reincarnated Kakuzu and binding him.

"How is this possible...?"

The Reincarnated Kakuzu was baffled, unable to understand why this person also possessed the Earthly Fury technique.

This secret technique should only be known to him in the entire ninja world.

"You don't have a single heart left, so it's impossible for you to break free from my restraints."

Kakuzu reminded the struggling Reincarnated Kakuzu.

This was why he had immediately stopped the Reincarnated Kakuzu from taking control.

"Damn, where did you learn Earthly Fury?"

The Reincarnated Kakuzu's face darkened, feeling utterly terrible at being defeated by a 'fake'.

"Just like you, I took it from the village."

Kakuzu sent several masks to assist the Allied Shinobi Forces in battle, then his main body sat on the ground and chatted with the Reincarnated Kakuzu.

"Impossible, I destroyed all the information after taking Earthly Fury."

The Reincarnated Kakuzu refuted.

"It seems you still don't understand. I'm not pretending to be you; I am another you, another you from a different world."

Looking at the disheveled Reincarnated Kakuzu, Kakuzu sighed.

"Even though I thought I wouldn't have a good life without meeting Mu Yue, you're living a miserable existence. If word gets out, people might question my abilities."

As an elderly man, Kakuzu had experienced a lot, and while he couldn't claim to see through everyone in the ninja world, he understood himself well enough.

He was well aware that if he hadn't met Mu Yue and joined Shinshu, he would have been living a meaningless life.

After being hurt by the village, he had lost his life goals and the meaning of survival. He constantly earned money to fill the emptiness in his heart, but it was futile.

Even with all the money he acquired, he only found fleeting pleasure at the moment of obtaining it, and as the amount of money accumulated, the satisfaction he derived from it decreased.

The reason he tirelessly pursued more wealth was simply that he didn't know what else he could do, and what else in this world was worth his efforts.

Compared to a village that could betray him, money would never betray him.

The Reincarnated Kakuzu's face darkened, about to curse, but Kakuzu interrupted.

"You like to hide your money in these places..."

Kakuzu revealed the locations where he used to hide his money before joining Shinshu.

The Reincarnated Kakuzu's face changed dramatically, as he had never told anyone about his hiding spots, and logically, no one else should know.

"When you were thirteen, you had a crush on a girl. She was..."

"When you were sixteen..."

The more Kakuzu spoke, the more shocked the Reincarnated Kakuzu became.

This person seemed to truly be 'him'.

"Since we're both Kakuzu, why help those people? Shouldn't you be helping me?"

The Reincarnated Kakuzu calmed down and spoke in a low voice.

"Since you also have Earthly Fury, you should know that those people are not worthy of trust. Or do you want to experience betrayal again?"

Hearing the Reincarnated Kakuzu's attempt to sway him, Kakuzu laughed.

"Don't play these underhanded tricks that won't work; it will only lower my opinion of you.

Although we both bear the name Kakuzu, my luck was better, as I met someone who could lead me out of my confusion."

Looking at Kakuzu's smiling face, the Reincarnated Kakuzu felt a nameless fire rising within him.

He couldn't help but mock:

"Out of confusion? You'll behave once you're assigned to assassinate the strongest again."

"Sorry, we in the Finance Department usually don't get involved in combat missions. This time, I exerted a lot of effort to get this opportunity."

Kakuzu shook his head regretfully.

The Reincarnated Kakuzu was silent, his face darkening further.

"I learned a lot from Mu Yue, and if I can't fight, it would be a waste."

"By the way, I forgot to tell you, I'm now the Minister of Finance in the Shinobi Alliance."

Kakuzu explained in detail to the Reincarnated Kakuzu about the Shinobi Alliance and the extent of his authority as the Minister of Finance.

Reincarnated Kakuzu: ...

Who the hell wants to hear you talk about this.

The more the Reincarnated Kakuzu listened, the more annoyed he became.

It wasn't scary to live a difficult life, but it was terrifying to see another version of himself living so poorly.

"Don't you fear betrayal again?"

The Reincarnated Kakuzu asked, voicing his doubts.

Kakuzu understood himself, and the Reincarnated Kakuzu had lived longer, so he also understood himself.

The Reincarnated Kakuzu couldn't imagine how Kakuzu had filled his empty heart and become a normal ninja again.

"Betrayal?"

Kakuzu laughed heartily.

"Do you know how I met Mu Yue, the one who led me out of confusion?"

Without waiting for the Reincarnated Kakuzu to speak, Kakuzu answered himself.

"I accepted his bounty, wanting to kill him for the reward, but he was too strong. Without taking it seriously, he instantly killed four of my hearts."

The Reincarnated Kakuzu's face showed surprise, never expecting that Kakuzu and Mu Yue had met in such a way.

"That man's magnanimity was so great that it made others feel inferior. Even someone like me who wanted to kill him, he still chose to forgive."

As Kakuzu spoke of his travels with Mu Yue in the Rain Country, a hint of nostalgia appeared on his face.

The chapter begins with Mu Yue and his companions being ridiculed as naive idealists by the Reincarnated Juzo, who ironically finds himself becoming a member, and even a primary one, of the very group he had mocked.

"A world like that could never exist!"

The Reincarnated Kakuzu, upon hearing Juzo's description of Shinshu's ultimate goal, instinctively opposes the idea.

Unfazed, Juzo merely smiles and says, "At least we have achieved peace in the Ninja World, and united the Ninja Alliance."

The ultimate goal is indeed far off, but they have already taken the first steps towards it.

The rest of the journey will be left to the younger generation.

Juzo believes that with the spread of Shinshu's ideology throughout the Ninja World, many exceptional young ninjas will emerge to continue the path they have started.

The Reincarnated Kakuzu falls silent for a moment, then speaks, "Has Mu Yue arrived? I'd like to meet him."

He wants to see for himself who this extraordinary person is, someone capable of achieving so much that even he finds unrealistic.

"You're in luck, he's here, but I don't know where he is right now."

Juzo replies.

"Consider it a favor from 'me'."

Saying this, Juzo takes out a sealing scroll and throws it towards the Reincarnated Kakuzu.

The Reincarnated Kakuzu doesn't resist and allows Juzo to seal him.

Meanwhile, the White Zetsu Army under Orochimaru and Jiraiya's command is quickly defeated, and most of the Reincarnated ninjas are sealed.

The few Reincarnated ninjas who managed to escape sealing did so before Jiraiya and the others arrived, and they were left to be dealt with by the Ninja Alliance.

After all, it was impossible for the large number of Ninja Alliance members to be stopped by a few Reincarnated ninjas.

Boom!!!

Suddenly, a powerful and terrifying aura rises on the battlefield.

The Reincarnated Kinkaku unleashes his powerful Tailed Beast Chakra, his body enveloped in dark red Nine-Tails Chakra, transforming into a six-tailed dark red monster.

"Seeking death, how dare you seal Ginkaku!"

The Reincarnated Kinkaku threatens in a deep voice.

With the Reincarnated Kinkaku's immortal life, infinite chakra, and powerful Tailed Beast Chakra, he doesn't believe he can lose to this group of younger ninjas.

"Seniors, please help. This Kinkaku is a tough one."

Seeing the Reincarnated Kinkaku in his partial Tailed Beast form, Orochimaru quickly finishes off the remaining enemies and Darui immediately shouts, "Sage Mode!"

Jiraiya had already identified the strongest among them, the Reincarnated Kinkaku, and had prepared by absorbing natural energy to quickly synthesize it into Sage Chakra, entering Sage Mode.

"Sage Technique: Thousand Needles!"

Jiraiya first uses a fast and wide-ranging Sage Technique to repel the Reincarnated Kinkaku, preventing him from harming too many Alliance ninjas.

Immediately after, he summons a Great Toad, blocking the Reincarnated Kinkaku's retreat.

"Wind Style: Breath Chakra Mode!"

Orochimaru focuses his breathing to the extreme, entering the Breath Chakra Mode on top of the Sage Breathing Technique, further enhancing his Wind Style abilities.

He lightly leaps, and his entire body flies directly towards the Reincarnated Kinkaku, casually firing numerous sharp Wind Blades.

Orochimaru and Jiraiya, the two Sages, work together, and the Reincarnated Kinkaku is powerless to resist. In less than a minute, he is sealed by the Ninja Alliance.

"I don't know what's going on, but it's great to be able to defeat opponents so easily."

Shikamaru, who had just finished sealing the Reincarnated Asuma, looks at the subdued Reincarnated Kinkaku and breathes a sigh of relief.

He was originally part of the Fourth Division led by Love Bird, but due to a transfer order, he came to provide support. However, with the help of Orochimaru and the others, Shikamaru's team only managed to seal Asuma and didn't contribute much else.

"The battle is finally over."

The Alliance ninjas look at all the dead and sealed enemies, thinking the battle has ended. Suddenly, a gigantic humanoid monster with a body color like dried wood appears on the battlefield. With its massive body, it swings its arms and knocks many ninjas away.

Choza and Choji Akimichi use the Multi-Size Technique but fail to stop the giant humanoid monster.

Huangtu uses his Earth Style techniques with all his might but can only barely hold the monster for a moment, unable to inflict any damage.

Just as all the Alliance ninjas are distracted by the Ten-Tailed Juggernaut, a masked man wearing a white mask, the Reincarnated Uchiha Daito, silently appears beside the sealed Reincarnated Kinkaku and Ginkaku, taking them away.

"Shadow Snake Hand!"

Orochimaru is the first to notice the sudden appearance of the masked man. Having exited Sage Mode and Breath Chakra Mode, he simply fires a large snake towards him.

The snake pierces through the masked man's body and hits a Cloud Hidden ninja.

"Orochimaru and Jiraiya? How are they alive again?"

The white-masked Daito looks at the two who have returned from the dead, frowns slightly, but doesn't pay it much mind. He reactivates his Phantom Technique and teleports himself away.

He continues with his plan, and even the resurrection of the previous Hokages is of no use.

He will become the second Six Path Sage, and no one will be able to stop him from creating a peaceful world without war.

"Do you know that masked man?"

Orochimaru asks Darui.

"Of course, he's Uchiha Sasuke, the one who started the Fourth Great Ninja War!"

Darui, rarely showing a serious expression, replies.

PS:

Today, my energy has recovered significantly, but my mouth still feels tasteless, and I get tired easily.

This chapter is 6.4k words, which is also a small explosion.

Please vote for next month.

This month, not only did I spend a few thousand on medical expenses, but the book's ranking also dropped significantly.
