Chapter 298 Fire in the Rear
"It's such a hidden and deep place. Is this the place you sensed, Naruto?"
While Uchiha Madara was fighting against the Allied Shinobi Forces, Kakashi, Yamato, Naruto and Sakura appeared silently outside the passage of the mountain cemetery.
The enemy's Impure World Reincarnation caused considerable trouble to the Allied Shinobi Forces, and among the Allied Forces, only Naruto in Sage Mode could sense and detect the enemy's tracks, achieving the effect of a surprise attack and decapitation.
So this task was carried out by Kakashi and others. Only when the user of the Impure World Reincarnation died or the control was released, those immortal Impure World Body could be released.
"It should be here."
Naruto scratched his head hesitantly, "The chakra of Orochimaru that I sensed before is right here, but his chakra is very different from before. There is another chakra that is very similar to Orochimaru's, but a bit like Kabuto Yakushi.
What's even weirder is that there's another person here whose chakra is very similar to Sasuke's, but the difference is quite significant."
"Sasuke, Sasuke-kun is here?!"
As soon as Naruto finished speaking, Sakura became excited. She stood up and was about to rush inside. Naruto immediately started to follow.
"Hey, you two, slow down! There's a trap!"
Sakura, Naruto and the others rushed too fast, so Kakashi and the others had no choice but to chase after them. Fortunately, although the underground passage was interconnected and dark and deep, there were no traps, so it was relatively safe.
The group moved forward along the tunnel and suddenly stopped when they entered an empty underground base, because in front of them appeared Uchiha Sasuke, Orochimaru and Kabuto Yakushi standing in a triangle!
"Notice!"
Kakashi was startled and quickly shielded Naruto, Sakura and the others behind him, confronting Sasuke and the others. It was obvious that Orochimaru and the other two were also very depressed by the appearance of Kakashi and his group. Everyone in the field froze and stared at each other.
"Heh, it looks like you're here for those Impure Earth Forms too. That's what we're talking about now. Please wait a moment."
Orochimaru broke the silence with a hoarse voice. He turned to Yakushi Kabuto and said, "Kabuto, I didn't expect you to be able to do this!"
"Lord Orochimaru, you, you, are really resurrected?!"
Kabuto Yakushi felt very confused when he saw the reappearance of Orochimaru. He even deliberately disrupted the chakra in his body to try to break the illusion.
"Hehe, that's right. I have to thank Sasuke-kun for this. The curse seal I left on Anko was previously lifted by Hinata Kaze, so I left an extra Heaven's Curse Seal on the experimental subject. Luckily, Sasuke-kun spared the life of the experimental subject and only sealed him away. He even unsealed it not long ago and revived me."
Facing Orochimaru's smile, Sasuke still had a cold face, "Humph, stop talking nonsense. Don't forget what you promised me, otherwise I can save you and kill you again!"
"Don't worry, Sasuke-kun. This time I've decided to be the one waiting for the wind to rise."
With a slight smile, after a round of life and death, the gloomy aura on Orochimaru dissipated a lot, and he looked like a relatively cool idol. Unfortunately, as he was talking, he habitually stretched out his long tongue to lick it, which made Sakura and Naruto feel nauseous.
"Just let me chat with Kabuto for a while. I think you and your disciples need to communicate as well, right?"
"Sasuke, are you finally willing to leave the darkness and return to Konoha?"
Under Kakashi's vigilant gaze, Orochimaru took Kabuto Yakushi to the side for a detailed discussion, and then Naruto couldn't wait to speak.
But Uchiha Sasuke still had a dark face, "I killed the Fifth Hokage of Konoha, how can I return to Konoha?"
"cough cough"
Kakashi coughed a few times to attract the attention of Sasuke and the others, "That's all in the past, and if we can't stop Uchiha Madara, then nothing can be undone. I know there was a lot of darkness in Konoha in the past, including my father, but Konoha is different now."
"It has indeed changed. It has become extremely weak. What is there in Konoha now that is worth returning to?"
As soon as Sasuke said this, Naruto immediately started yelling: "Sasuke, what are you talking about? Konoha still has Sakura and me!"
"Humph"
Sasuke turned his head away proudly, "You guys already knew about the Uchiha family!"
"what?"
Naruto, Sakura and the others were confused by what Sasuke said. Only Kakashi and Yamato understood what Sasuke was saying.
"Actually, I only know part of it, but the actual situation is not very clear. Do you also know the Uchiha part of the Rain Country? That should be the Hyuga wind..."
Kakashi spoke hesitantly, but before he could get much further he was interrupted by Sasuke.
"Okay, stop talking. Let's talk about whether we should go back to Konoha. This time, I will help you stop Uchiha Madara!"
Sasuke's heart was churning with emotion as he said this. He didn't want to live in an illusion. Itachi had done everything he could to get through it all, and Konoha couldn't just disappear like this.
As Sasuke thought about it, he clenched his fists. He still wanted to seek revenge on Hinata Feng. The scene when the masked man took him to the Land of Rain appeared in his mind.
Mother Mikoto snuggled in Hinata's arms and acted coquettishly, while the other Uchiha clan members received respect and smiles from the villagers in the Snow Shinobi Village, and they looked very happy.
This made Sasuke's eyes red on the spot!
Why did you save so many people and then abandon yourself?
Why do those Uchiha clan members speak of Itachi and themselves with such contempt?
Why should a mother sacrifice herself to atone for her sins!
Sasuke was very angry, but that was not the reason why he wanted to stop Uchiha Madara and Hyuga Kaze. The more important reason was that he did not want to see Konoha disappear, and he wanted to make Itachi a hero!
If Madara destroyed Konoha, the last trace of Itachi's existence would be wiped out. And if Konoha was destroyed, how would he let others know about the sacrifices Itachi made for the peace of the village?
Even if Hinata Feng wins and Konoha is destroyed, will people believe what Hinata Feng or his mother says?
Only Konoha still exists to help Itachi restore his reputation, and the official announcement issued in the name of the village will have the most credibility!
Thinking of this, Sasuke stared at Kakashi and stated his conditions, "I can join you in resisting Uchiha Madara and even Hyuga Kaze. After this is over, I ask Konoha to officially clear Itachi's name in the name of the village and recognize him as a hero!"
Kakashi responded to this request very readily. In fact, the village was already like this, so it didn't matter if he just agreed to it now.
"Well, it's a little difficult, but as long as you contribute to the village, it should be fine. After all, I am now the Sixth Hokage."
Kakashi and Naruto finished talking to Sasuke, and when they turned around, Orochimaru and Kabuto had also finished their conversation.
Kabuto Yakushi walked over with Orochimaru, a relaxed smile on his face. He pushed up his glasses and said, "After Lord Orochimaru's advice, I now understand what I should do. I can relax my control over those Impure World Forms and let them regain consciousness to help you fight against Uchiha Madara and Hyuga Kaze, but Lord Orochimaru and I are not strong enough, so we won't join in the fun.
Oh, and there's a half-dead guy in the back room. He was the one who pretended to be Uchiha Madara and announced the Fourth Ninja World War. From what they said, he seemed to be Uchiha Obito."
