Chapter 141: The Kage's Return

Indeed, these things are not that important anymore.

However, what they were concerned about now was whether Ryujiro would truly help Konoha unify the entire Ninja World.

This was a path that Konoha had never thought of before.

"Alright, that's enough about this matter."

"I believe the Allied Shinobi Forces won't dare to act rashly now.

After all, we only deployed two people from Konoha and they held back their forces," Tsunade said, her eyes fixed intently on Ryujiro.

She even doubted whether they needed to send anyone else to the battlefield. Perhaps Hinata and Ryujiro alone could end this war?

How could she have such an absurd thought?

Even if Ryujiro and Hinata were powerful, they were still up against the elite forces of the Four Great Ninja Villages.

"Tsunade-sama, where is Naruto now?" Ryujiro asked.

While Ryujiro didn't consider the Allied Shinobi Forces a threat, Naruto, being the Jinchuriki of the Nine-Tails, was a significant concern.

He couldn't shake the feeling that Obito might try something during this war.

If the Nine-Tails were extracted from Naruto, it would mean certain death for him.

Tsunade sighed, rubbing her temples, "Don't worry, he's in a safe place.

But that kid keeps insisting on joining the battlefield; it's really a headache."

Though Naruto had learned to control the Nine-Tails' power, Tsunade still couldn't let him fight freely.

The Nine-Tails was too crucial for Konoha, and the immense power it wielded could change the course of history in an instant.

Naruto wanted to join the battle...

Obito, Black Zetsu, what else do you have up your sleeves in this altered timeline?

In the original anime, Obito had declared the Fourth Great Ninja War and used Kabuto's Edo Tensei technique to resurrect the former Kage.

However, in this timeline, Kabuto was still merely a subordinate of Orochimaru and had not mastered Edo Tensei, unlike in the original story.

What would happen next? Ryujiro was curious to see how things would unfold.

In the Akatsuki hideout, Obito and Black Zetsu stood before several coffins.

Edo Tensei required a piece of the deceased's body and a living person as a vessel to revive them.

White Zetsu served as an excellent vessel, saving them the trouble of searching for other candidates.

The Second Tsuchikage, the Third Mizukage, the Third Raikage, the Fourth Kazekage...

All could be resurrected, except for Itachi.

Originally, Black Zetsu had planned to collect Itachi's remains, but Ryujiro's presence thwarted those plans.

"Let's begin," Obito commanded, dressed in a purple outfit and wearing a white mask.

One of his eyes had already been implanted with Madara's Rinnegan. He slammed his hand on the ground.

"Edo Tensei!"

White Zetsu screamed in agony as pieces of him began to break apart, gradually transforming.

The former Kage were being resurrected.

.....

"Bang!" The sound of a table breaking echoed as A erupted in anger. "What did you say?"

"B got injured?!"

"Who did it?"

Killer B was A's brother and the perfect Jinchuriki of the Eight-Tails, possessing strength rivaling that of a Kage.

How could he be injured in the village? What had happened?

Mabui, standing nearby, remained silent, watching the broken table.

The situation in the war had become increasingly dire.

Could Konoha still have enough strength to launch a surprise attack?

"It was that swordsman from before."

A swordsman?

A paused, recalling an earlier incident when a swordsman had caused a disturbance in the Cloud Village.

The village's security forces were no match for him.

Konoha!

A clenched his fists, his eyes bloodshot with anger. Konoha had hidden its strength well, or perhaps they had been too deceived by its facade.

The front-line and logistic troops were wiped out one after another, with a horrifying number of casualties.

Yet only two people from Konoha had revealed themselves with abilities similar to Dust Release that could obliterate matter. 

Was it possible that the Byakugan of the Hyuga clan had evolved into a power capable of erasing matter, similar to Dust Release?

It was an impossible thought, but the situation was frustrating.

Damn it!

From the beginning, they had been led by the nose by Konoha.

And where was the Kazekage of the Sand Village? He hadn't been seen since the start of the war.

Meanwhile, in a desolate desert near the Sound Village, Gaara tossed his Kazekage hat aside and stretched.

"It's finally over."

He felt a sense of relief.

"You had the people of the Sand Village running in circles," Kimimaro remarked coolly from the side.

"You don't know how boring it is to be Kazekage. You have to deal with village affairs every day.

Since I returned, the villagers haven't exactly welcomed me."

"Even though I'm Kazekage, there are still those in the village with strong opinions against me."

"Now that my mission is complete, whoever wants to be Kazekage can take the position. I'm not staying."

Kimimaro looked at Gaara with a puzzled expression.

Was being a Kage really that troublesome?

If it was, why did so many people want to become the leader of their village?

It was baffling.

But he only cared about Orochimaru and Ryujiro. He was willing to do anything for them.

"By the way, where's Sasuke?"

Gaara suddenly realized that Sasuke had been missing since his return.

Kimimaro replied indifferently, "Sasuke left with someone."

"What? How could that be?"

"Would Ryujiro let Sasuke leave with someone else?"

Gaara couldn't believe it.

"It was Ryujiro who intentionally let Sasuke go. We noticed it early on but didn't act."

"Ryujiro-sama has his own plans," Kimimaro continued, his expression unchanged.

I see...

Gaara thought.

While Sasuke's attitude could be annoying and pretentious, they had still spent time together.

Sigh...

Poor Sasuke, becoming a pawn in Ryujiro's game.

But on second thought, wasn't he the same?

He shook his head with a bitter smile.

Hopefully, Ryujiro could truly start an unprecedented era.
