With a sinister smile playing on his lips, Huang spoke freely.

He seemed to have absolutely no intention of keeping his promise.

"However, if you choose Sasuke, I might be merciful and let him go."

“Although he is your younger brother, he has suffered quite a bit over the years.”

"Unfortunately, even if I wanted to let him go now, he's already crippled."

"After all, she was abandoned by her own brother once again."

The words that reached Itachi Uchiha's ears were like thunder, and he couldn't tell whether they were deceiving him or not.

However, how is the sneer in the other party's eyes and the way he is doing things any different from Shimura Danzo, who once made a promise to him and then arranged for Root ninjas to assassinate him?

He opened his mouth as if to say something, as if to shout something in anger.

But at this moment,

A dazzling white light suddenly burst forth on the horizon, followed by a tremendous roar that seemed poised to overturn the entire world.

[Let the world begin to feel pain, Shinra Tensei.]

This terrifying forbidden technique, which was almost unsolvable and capable of destroying the world, eventually blossomed on this land.

And this person really did not save anything.

【No,】

【No,】

【don't want! 】

Listening to the earth's wailing and gazing at the towering dust rising from the horizon, Itachi felt as if his entire world was about to collapse.

He crawled on the ground, desperately reaching out his palm towards the raging energy, trying to touch something, trying to stop something, but it was all in vain.

"Hey, you saw that, right?"

"This is the future I see."

'Pfft. '

As the fraudster's voice rang in his ears, a slight sound was accompanied by a sharp pain that suddenly struck his back.

"cough,"

Large amounts of bright red blood spilled from his mouth, and his slowly descending gaze also noticed the blood-stained blade tip protruding from his chest; the aura of death was rapidly approaching.

Despite the immense pain in his chest and his fading life force, Itachi struggled to turn his gaze back, his狰狞 (zhengning, meaning ferocious or hideous) expression as if he wanted to etch that face into his very being, his outstretched hand seemingly intent on dragging him into hell!

Huang met his gaze ironically, and then continued his story with thoughtful and enthusiastic expression:

"Oh, right, I'll show you something else,"

"My eternal kaleidoscope, isn't it great?"

"Thanks to your father."

.........

.........

Meanwhile, Konoha,

A beautiful young woman slowly emerged from the vast expanse of dust and the deathly silence of the surrounding wilderness.

She had a slender waist, long black hair, and beautiful amber eyes; her white jade feet were completely out of place in this ruined place.

A cat was beside him.

A black, faceless skeletal cat.

At first glance, the man and the cat seem like messengers from hell.

She walked past Pain's gaze and the Fifth Hokage's face filled with despair, as if no one else was there, her small mouth muttering something to herself:

"Damn Onmyoji, it's always such a troublesome thing. I've really lost out on this exchange."

"No, we must also get his eyes after he died."

Only when she reached the center of the ruins did her muttered accusations subside slightly, and a solemn expression appeared on her delicate face.

She crouched down, her slender, jade-like fingers gently reaching out and touching the ravaged earth.

From this place, soft murmurs could be heard:

"Sorcery: Dream Recall".

Chapter 740 The Return of Naruto Uzumaki.

That girl........

Inside the dark 'tree fortress', Nagato whispered.

With the help of the Heavenly Dao's eyes, he easily discerned the girl's identity and retrieved fragments of her past existence from his memories.

She is a mysterious girl who accompanies Uchiha Ara. She appeared in the Land of Snow and neutralized the power of Shinra Tensei with unknown abilities.

"What's wrong, Nagato?"

"What's happened in Konoha this time?"

Xiao Nan, who was standing to one side, immediately asked.

Itachi's unauthorized appearance and hostile stance today signify the complete disintegration of the reorganized Akatsuki organization.

Indeed, only those two, and..., could achieve mutual trust.

"Lord Nagato, Lord Konan, do you need us to go into battle?"

"Even if it means going against the entire Hidden Leaf Village, we will surely fulfill Leader Yahiko's will!!"

And former comrades who, after being reborn through the Impure World Reincarnation, are reluctant to ascend to heaven!

Those people stood in the dark, lightless area, as if they, resurrected, belonged to the darkness.

"It was Uchiha Ara who made the move, allowing the residents of Konoha to survive."

Nagato said calmly.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Nan's face immediately revealed a complex mix of emotions, worry and relief.

But before she could ask any further questions, the former seemed to sense something again, and his expression turned indifferent and relieved.

"But it doesn't matter anymore. What was meant to come has already come. Let's settle things here."

“If you choose to protect him, Jiraiya-sensei.”

Using the destruction of Konoha as a trigger,

This forces Naruto Uzumaki to return!

This was his plan after his search in Konoha yielded no results.

The sky, Pain's departure did not bring Tsunade any relief. Her power nearly exhausted, she still forced herself to maintain her broken emotions, which were at their lowest point, and looked up to the heavens to question:

"What else do you want to do!"

"What else do you want to do, Payne?!"

Even though she borrowed the power of the Slug Sage and wrapped almost all her remaining comrades inside Konoha in slugs, the impact of the clash of powers could not be completely reduced. Many of her already seriously injured comrades still lost their lives under the force of this natural disaster.

And through the slug, she was able to clearly perceive the passing of those lives.

However, the person standing in the sky only coldly left behind the words, "It seems you finally understand some pain," and then flew westward from Konoha without paying any attention to the other's emotions.

Even though she was filled with rage, Tsunade didn't have the energy to keep up with Pain's pace at the moment.

The people buried under the rubble are the ones who need to be rescued and dealt with most right now!

However, at that moment, the slug brought them some truly good news:

Those ordinary residents buried beneath the wasteland are still alive.

Although they suffered a tremendous blow to their mental and physical strength, they are indeed still alive!

Originally, she had prepared to numb herself and not think about the fate of the civilians living in Konoha, after all, there was a huge difference in physical fitness between ninjas and ordinary people.

Even with the slug's protection, it would be virtually impossible to withstand that enormous impact.

Death is inevitable.

The current outcome, however, has brought some solace to his devastated spiritual world.

Through the message relayed by the slug, Tsunade also understood the 'miracles' that had happened to those ordinary people.

In this man-made calamity, ordinary residents were not immune to the effects of Pain's magic, and even slugs could not protect ordinary people from that powerful force, especially frail children and the elderly.

Rather than saying they miraculously survived, it's more like a miracle of surviving after facing death!

Even the slug sage, who thought they were beyond saving and had concluded they were on the verge of death, suddenly revived them all.

However, amidst the shock and relief, Tsunade suddenly remembered someone.

That mysterious girl who walked barefoot across the wasteland after the devastation caused by the power of the magic!

Of course, what was being recalled was not only the black-haired woman, but also an important piece of information about Uchiha Ara's abilities that had been recorded by the Anbu ninja:

That is, the latter is suspected of having the ability to rewind time for a certain period of time, thereby enabling him to revive some of his fallen subordinates during the battle against Konoha.

That's right.

That’s right!

Based on these records, the person who saved the ordinary people of Konoha must be him!!

but,

Please save others as well.

Save the ninjas of Konoha!!
