"That guy who was chasing your brother relentlessly is now the Hokage of Konoha!"
"I’ve always said the Hokage is the hero of all of Konoha, but I really don’t see it!"
"But let’s get back to you... You should be heading straight for Konoha now, but I already told you, you’ve been destroyed."
Sasuke froze.
Karin still didn’t believe it and imdiately questioned loudly.
"What in the world is going on! Who could destroy all of Konoha? Did they mobilize the entire army of a country?"
Unknown to them, the masked man shook his head.
"No... The one who destroyed Konoha is one of my subordinates, his na is Pain."
Sasuke frowned slightly.
"Just one person?"
The masked man nodded.
"Yes! That guy... he really went too far. The five Kage are all focused on this matter right now..."
Upon hearing this, Sasuke’s mouth twitched.
"Tch! The five Kage, they’re all a bunch of stubborn old n!"
The masked man gently wagged his finger.
"Not so! The five Kage are now preparing to hold a Kage Summit!"
At that mont.
On the outskirts of Konoha village, Naruto was still confronting the two individuals from Kumogakure.
Karui insisted.
"Absolutely not. You must tell everything about Sasuke now, as well as all the information you’ve gathered on the Akatsuki, and any information related to Sasuke and his companions’ actions."
Sakura snapped out of her daze.
"How is that possible! I don’t believe it! How could Sasuke possibly join the Akatsuki!"
Naruto also asked with great tension.
"Can you confirm the things you just said?"
Omoi clenched his fist.
"There’s absolutely no mistake. Soone confird it was the Uchiha clan’s crest back then, and the appearance matched the one on the intelligence list..."
Sakura imdiately fell into sadness and despair.
Her trust in Sasuke crumbled to pieces in that instant.
The Akatsuki organization, with their strange missions and lawless actions, causing evil everywhere.
They all wore the sa black robes with red clouds, as if the clouds were condensed from a bloody mist.
It was these guys who had just destroyed the entire Konoha village.
If it weren’t for a famous person intervening in ti, almost half the people in the village would have perished.
These guys were powerful and had a terrifying dark mindset, capable of suddenly launching violent attacks at any mont, even leveling entire ninja villages.
The emotions in her mind beca overwhelming, and she couldn’t help but cry in public.
Karui imdiately shouted.
"Why are you crying, little girl! We’re the ones who should be crying!"
"Even if you cry now, Lord Yugito and Lord Mabui will never co back to life! If you have ti to cry, you might as well honestly hand over all the information about Sasuke!"
Just as Naruto and Sakura were both speechless and lost for words.
Sai, who wasn’t good with words, suddenly spoke.
"Hey, please wait a mont!"
"I imagine that as soon as you received the news about Sasuke’s execution, Konoha would have handed over all information about Sasuke to you. So, it seems you don’t need to force them like this, do you!"
"You can tell that they two have nothing to do with what Sasuke did. Konoha village is also devastated by the Akatsuki’s intrusion..."
"Even though we are in different ninja villages and different countries, as fellow ninjas, we should be considerate of each other!"
Karui slightly relented.
"That’s true... Our captain is waiting for news right now, but we can’t just sit around doing nothing! We have to use our strength to gather as much information about Sasuke as possible!"
Naruto looked at the two in front of him, unsure of how he felt.
But as he thought, he suddenly felt sothing was off.
He couldn’t help but ask.
"Is your teacher... also a Jinchuriki?"
Karui and Omoi imdiately gave affirmative replies.
Naruto’s heart stirred, and he imdiately said to the two of them.
"What if your teacher isn’t dead..."
"I’m not trying to comfort you... If you really lost your teacher, I would do my utmost to help you, just as you said... how can we just wait around!"
"I deeply understand how you feel right now, and I know what it’s like to be a Jinchuriki, that unparalleled loneliness... I am also a Jinchuriki. The Akatsuki’s target is people like us, but they have a unique characteristic: they must capture them alive..."
"So, when I tell you your teacher is alive, it’s not simply a comfort, but actual information!"
Looking at Naruto’s sincere expression, Karui and Omoi wavered slightly. ....
Then Naruto delivered another blow.
"Right now, compared to Sasuke, it’s more important to rescue your master first..."
Omoi had already dropped his arrogant expression.
"Are you telling the truth? Is our master really still salvageable?"
Karui even burst into laughter on the spot.
"That’s great! I knew that guy wouldn’t die that easily!"
Naruto said to the two.
"I will also help you rescue your master and do my best to provide you with information about the Akatsuki!"
Upon hearing this, Karui imdiately flashed a hearty smile.
"You blonde kid! You’re the only one who makes sense... Co with us, and tell us everything about Sasuke too!"
Sakura turned her head and saw Naruto’s determined face.
The resolve in his eyes did not waver in the slightest.
"Leave it to , Sakura!"
Karui beca interested in Naruto.
"What’s your na, kid?"
Naruto imdiately pushed up his forehead protector.
"My na is Uzumaki Naruto!"
anwhile, in a distant jungle, Karin recounted everything she knew to the group.
Suigetsu asked in surprise.
"Uzumaki Naruto? That Uzumaki Naruto defeated Pain by himself?"
Karin said sarcastically.
"Yes! By himself... He’s beco incredibly powerful now, probably surpassing Sasuke!"
Karin imdiately jumped out, her face blushing.
"No way! My Sasuke is the strongest and most handso!"
After defending him, she imdiately realized the situation was wrong and shyly retreated behind the other two.
Karin persisted.
"But facts are facts..."
Sasuke chuckled lightly.
"All that is unimportant. The most important thing is the Kage Summit!"
Suigetsu scratched his head, his intelligence returning.
"Then Danzo should be appearing at the Kage Summit now, shouldn’t he?"
