The Hokage, having traveled here, of course he'd unify the ninja world!

Chapter 951 Only When They Get Close Enough Will They Take Action

Kabuto's hands kept moving, but he kept saying:

"Lord Orochimaru's calculations are correct. After multiple rounds of gene fusion, your eyes have begun to transform."

"It's uncertain what will happen in the future."

"So you'll need to stay in bed for a while longer."

Nagato was conscious at this moment and replied, "It's alright."

He has experienced many ups and downs in his life, but he still believes in the supremacy of strength.

He wouldn't refuse the offer that he could become stronger by lying down for a while.

There will be more Otsutsuki attacks in the future, and he doesn't want to be a lamb to the slaughter.

"Dou, the teacher wants you to come over."

Dou stopped writing and put down what he was holding.

"Isn't Lord Orochimaru conducting an experiment right now?"

Red Bean knew that Orochimaru didn't allow anyone to disturb him when conducting these experiments, so she explained:

"Lord Qianyao has just sent over something new that might be helpful for the experiment. The reason I'm asking you to come over is to do the experiment together."

A glint of light flashed in his eyes; anything helpful to the experiment must be a good thing.

He turned to Nagato eagerly and said:

"The data has been mostly recorded, but you can't use your eyes yet. To prevent any changes, don't open your eyes or leave the lab. Mio should be here soon."

As Nagato responded, Kabuto had already flashed off towards Orochimaru's laboratory.

Anko wasn't surprised, since Kabuto's favorite thing was doing research with Orochimaru.

Nagato is not good at socializing, and Hongdou didn't seem inclined to go over and say hello.

She turned and went out the door, but soon encountered Mio carrying a lunchbox in the corridor.

Mio has been helping out in the lab for years, sometimes helping with research, and sometimes being researched herself.

Although I occasionally have to have my blood drawn for drug experiments, I still live a very free life.

It's better than being bitten to death in Kusagakure.

Red Bean shifted her gaze to the lunchbox, her expression playful: "Bringing food to Nagato again?"

Mio blushed slightly, awkwardly tossed her long hair, and responded with a soft sound.

"Yes, his eyesight is not good right now, so as a member of the tribe, we should take care of him."

Mio is a member of the Uzumaki clan, and with the blessing of the Water of Life, the deficit from back then has long been made up.

Although she is over thirty years old, her skin is smooth and flawless, with a rosy glow, making her look younger than a red bean.

However, because she gave birth to Karin, she has the charm of a mature woman.

There are only this many people in the lab.

Mio has a very gentle personality and gets along well with everyone, including Anko, who is naturally her friend.

Mio is very gentle and a little shy around her, so Anko didn't tease her anymore.

"Then you go first, I'm going to practice my magic."

Mio responded and quickened her pace as she went inside, whether out of urgency or something else, it was unclear.

Seeing this, Hongdou couldn't help but smile slightly.

However, Orochimaru's image suddenly flashed through her mind.

Once she realized what was happening, Hongdou's smile turned into a bitter one.

[The teacher doesn't have those feelings at all. What am I even thinking?]

……

All the people from Konoha were temporarily relocated to Basha City.

With the wind howling outside and people unable to go out, everyone inevitably began to talk about the battle, their words filled with admiration for Qianyao.

"The Fifth Hokage is simply amazing."

"With the Fifth Hokage taking action, Sunagakure has absolutely no power to resist."

"Those city defense equipment were just for show; Lord Qianyao dismantled them in no time."

"If the sandstorm hadn't come so quickly, we would be living in Lansha City right now."

"That place is too close to the sandstorm; you'd probably be buried there."

"With the Fifth Hokage here, I think we're just playing a supporting role. The battle will just be about catching the fleeing Sand Village ninja."

"Haha, you're not happy that there were no casualties?"

"I love fighting when things are going smoothly."

"I never expected that the Fourth Hokage and his son Naruto were both Nine-Tails Jinchuriki."

"That golden, glittering appearance must be a technique related to the Nine-Tails."

"We saw Naruto make a move while we were chasing Sunagakure."

Sasuke heard the whispers around him and felt happy for Naruto.

On the other hand, it also aroused his competitive spirit.

He was being led by Itachi to see Chiyo, and as soon as they entered, Sasuke excitedly asked:

"Master, do you know how strong Naruto is now?"

At this moment, Chiyo was playing Hanafuda with Karin, and there were already three pieces of paper stuck to his head.

Hearing this, he looked up and replied with a half-smile, "I know."

"Then... how can I defeat him?"

Seeing that Chiyo's expression was strange, Sasuke asked the question hesitantly.

Qianyao's expression returned to normal: "Simple, just extract his nine tails."

"You can easily defeat Naruto without the Nine-Tails."

Sasuke chuckled dryly. Although he had awakened the Mangekyou Sharingan, Naruto was not standing still.

The Golden Body Mode is even immune to his Mangekyou Sharingan's genjutsu.

As for the Sage Mode that he had just learned, Naruto had learned it much earlier.

Seeing Sasuke's embarrassed expression, Qianyao shook his head slightly and then said:

"Having a competitive spirit is a good thing, but you also need to be clear about the situation."

“A simple match is one where both sides are prepared before fighting. You need to defeat Naruto and a Nine-Tails, which is very difficult.”

"But in a real life-or-death struggle, there are many more things to consider."

Sasuke is no longer a child, and naturally understands that in a life-or-death struggle, no means are too extreme.

But now that Naruto has left him behind, he's still a little unhappy.

Noticing Sasuke's expression, Chiyo offered words of comfort.

"It's an undeniable fact that he has a tailed beast by his side. To defeat Naruto, we can use some targeted tactics."

"It will be difficult for you to defeat Naruto, but there are plenty of ways to kill him, after all, he's not as smart as you."

Sasuke didn't know whether to be happy or sad at this moment. Naruto was very straightforward, but he was by no means stupid.

Although he could deceive Naruto with trickery, what was the point of such a victory?

Therefore, Sasuke's expression clearly showed his embarrassment.

He only remembered what he was supposed to do when he saw Itachi behind him.

"Master, why have my brother's and father's eyes recovered?"

Qianyao naturally wouldn't say that it was all a show put on by everyone.

At this moment, he opened his mouth and started making things up: "It was snatched back from Obito."

"While you were cultivating immortal arts, I certainly wasn't idle either."

Sasuke had no doubts, after all, Chiyo's strength was more than enough to do such a thing.

He simply said with dissatisfaction, "Then why didn't Master tell me?"

Chiyo tore off the note that was stuck to Sasuke's face and stuck it there.

"Do you understand?"

Sasuke was stunned.

"What do you understand?"

Just as he was about to reach out and take it, Karin beside him said with a grin:

"You can't take Sasuke off, okay? You interrupted our game, so you'll have to stick it to your face."

Sasuke didn't know where Karin's logic came from, but it was obvious that Chiyo meant the same thing.

"Master, what do you mean?"

Qianyao pointed to the note on Sasuke's face: "This note is just like Obito's."

"You'll only want to take him off when he's right in your face."

“If I stop you, you will find a way to take it down.”

"It's like having Obito as your goal, so you'll try every means to become stronger."

"Look how much you've changed recently?"

Sasuke looked thoughtful: "I understand, Master."

Qian Yao smiled and said:

"Obito has escaped from me several times. You have to keep going. Only when you kill him will you truly avenge Itachi and Fugaku."

He then winked at Itachi, who quickly replied, "Sasuke, if you have the chance in the future, avenge my father and me."

Given Itachi's character, he would never say such a thing, but Chiyo had already given him a meaningful look, so he had no choice but to cooperate.

Sasuke didn't think too much about it; he was just too happy to do what his brother asked him to do.

"Yes, Master, don't worry, Nisan!"

"I will kill Obito!"
