Chapter 114: No Effort  

Gaara is no longer the Gaara he used to be.

He is slender and powerful, looks cool and handsome, but is generous to those around him, making him the most popular Kazekage in history.

He is no longer the bad boy who easily loses control of his emotions.

Da Da Da

Gaara stopped and looked at Kankuro. "Kankuro, don't mention that person in front of outsiders in the future."

"I know the limit. I'm not saying that you're too cautious, Gaara!" Kankuro pouted, a little unhappy. Isn't this a disguised way of saying that he can't control his mouth?

"You can do whatever you want. If you let it slip, be careful that my sand will not recognize you."

Gaara looked at the mountains outside. It was snowing heavily at the moment. If he were the same as before, he would definitely stop Sasuke's ambition.

But after these years of experience, he is no longer the same Gaara. The conditions in Sand Village are too poor, and it is not something that can be easily changed.

Just like a poor man and a rich man, the difficulty of building a house is simply incomparable.

Although the Wind Country has mineral veins, its resources are too few. If he wants to make the lives of the people in Sand Village better, there is only one way—to expand.

From the day he understood this clearly, he understood his father's difficulties. With the noble status of the Kazekage, he must bear the corresponding responsibilities and missions, and his mission is to devote all his efforts to the future of the village.

"Declare war on the whole world? Sasuke, if you really have this ability, why not let me join in with you."

Far away at the border of the Iron Country, the battle was almost over. Danzo paid the price of ten Sharingan to kill all the pursuing samurai, except for Mifune, who was squatting on the ground with his sword drawn and had already fainted.

Wiping the blood off his face, Danzo looked like a demon crawling out of the ground with more than a dozen knife wounds on his body.

Danzo didn't approach Mifune, who was also seriously injured, rashly, nor did he choose to use ninjutsu to attack from a distance.

At this time, Mifune was the most dangerous. Once he took action, Mifune would swing the last blow of his life.

He knew very well that the trapped beast would fight hard. The most urgent and important thing was to escape from the Iron Country.

The pursuers behind him would arrive soon. He didn't know how long he had been running. There were no more endless snow-capped mountains in front of him. He had left the Iron Country.

Seeing this familiar terrain, Danzo smiled. He hadn't gone wrong.

This was the Fire Country. Danzo took out a flare from his arms and fired it into the sky. The dazzling light of the flare was particularly conspicuous even in broad daylight.

In the distance, Sasuke and the other four, who were about to enter the Iron Country, all looked up at the sky. Kisame asked curiously, "A flare? The mark on it seems to be from Konoha?"

Kabuto and Kimimaro smiled at each other. Konoha's flare—now the Iron Country can send this flare except for Danzo and his men. They really couldn't think of anyone else.

Kabuto said sinisterly, "It seems that Danzo and his men are in danger. Kimimaro, you and Kisame go."

"Go and invite Danzo over," Kabuto reminded as if he thought of something. "By the way, remove his limbs."

After Kabuto finished laughing, he looked at Sasuke who was sitting cross-legged on a tree trunk dozens of meters away.

For some reason, Sasuke gave him a sense of being in a state of confusion. Kabuto walked under the big tree, crossed his legs, and closed his eyes.

The two stayed there in silence. Sasuke spoke first and asked Kabuto a question.

"Kabuto, what do you want to do most after the liberation of the Ninja World?"

"What do I want to do most?" Kabuto shook his head and smiled bitterly.

"To be honest, I am also confused."

"But I want to follow Sasuke-kun to explore the world outside the Ninja World first."

"Whether it is loneliness or pain, I am tired of this kind of life."

"Yes, the Ninja World is too small, so small that it can't even accommodate my own dreams. I still remember that when I first came to this world, my only goal was to live freely."

"As my strength grew, my desire became bigger and bigger, until now the Ninja World cannot satisfy me. What I lack is passion, but I found the passion of fighting and the passion of conquering. What did I lack?"

"It's been a long time since we talked like this, Kabuto," Sasuke said. In fact, the two are similar, both pursuing the meaning of life.

"Hahaha, I feel irritable sometimes, and I really can't do anything about myself." Sasuke jumped off the tree trunk and moved at high speed towards the place where chakra fluctuations were emitted in the distance.

Bang~Bang~Bang~

The battle site of Kimimaro and Danzo moved to the forest, and Kisame watched the show on the side.

When they arrived, they found that Danzo was seriously injured, so the two chose to play rock-paper-scissors to decide the ownership of the prey.

It was a pity that Kimimaro won. Kisame could only watch them fight on the side, but he thought it was pretty good.

"Oh hey, this is the first time I have watched the battle of the strong men up close. I am really lucky!"

Kimimaro seemed to have heard Kisame's words, and his bones quickly drilled out of his body, putting Danzo in crisis again and again.

"Izanagi." At the moment when the bone penetrated his body, Danzo changed this fact and reappeared with a huge explosion.

"Wood Release: Explosive Gun Tree."

A huge tree instantly grew out of Danzo's arm, but it only penetrated Kimimaro's first layer of defense, not even touching his skin.

Hey!

Danzo's face was extremely ugly. How could he not even use Wood Release properly? Monster, it's just a monster.

Kimimaro turned his head and looked at Danzo cruelly. At this time, his body expanded rapidly like a monster, with a volume of more than five meters and a horn on his head.

A sharp voice came into Danzo's ears.

"Oh, you seem to have used something amazing—it's Izanagi. I heard Sasuke mention it." Kimimaro looked at Danzo with a smile

"It's a pity that you are not a pure Uchiha, otherwise Izanagi's ability would be enough for you to defeat me."

Kimimaro was right. Danzo could only remain invincible for one minute with Izanagi. And the Hashirama cells in his body were suppressed by the Sharingan.

When the Sharingan turned gray, he would be completely swallowed by the Hashirama cells.

Explosion

Kimimaro punched Danzo and blew him up. Izanagi's time was about to come to an end. Danzo had no way to retreat and was hit hard again. He was like a dead fish, being beaten by Kimimaro.

He looked at Danzo's broken body. Kimimaro did not forget Kabuto's order, and his big hands broke Danzo's limbs.

"How is it, Kisame, how is my current state compared to the tailed beast?" Kimimaro smiled, but his current form was like an evil ghost crawling out of the ground.

But Kimimaro didn't think so. This was the performance of his practice of the curse seal to the extreme.

Even Kisame couldn't help but take a breath. "Sure enough, the guys who can stay with Sasuke for a long time are not normal people."
