"You're really good at scheming,"

"My Sarutobi lineage will absolutely never accept you becoming the Fifth Hokage!!"

But an indignant remark from the stands broke the moment of surprise.

The speaker was a young man wearing a Konoha headband and regular casual clothes.

Judging from their appearance, they should be a young member of that clan who has recently been promoted to genin.

He couldn't believe it, how could he possibly believe that his beloved Hokage would do such a thing and say such a thing?

These words immediately drew dozens of cold gazes to him, but no one made a move, because the war was over.

If war were to break out again, it would require orders from one's superiors.

Such remarks naturally reached Hiruzen Sarutobi's ears as well. In an instant, the surging anger in his heart caused his already narrowed eyes to widen slightly, and bright red blood overflowed from the corner of his mouth.

What a fool!!

Huang was not angered by the mockery, but instead turned to look at the white-haired old man who could hardly be sensed to be alive.

"correct,"

"Akatsuchi of Iwagakure has handed me the letter in which you secretly contacted the Third Tsuchikage to plot against the Northern Frontier."

"I almost forgot."

As they spoke, a stack of blood-stained letters fluttered in the air.

Goodbye, Third Generation.

"let's go."

After speaking, Ara took the lead and walked towards the gates of Konoha.

Not only did he say that he had no sense of belonging or interest in Konoha, but he also did not.

More importantly, because the fish took the bait!

The cry of "Boss, save me!" echoing in his heart caused his dimmed eyes to glow with a scarlet light again.

【It has to be you!】

As he watched that slender figure grow ever more distant from view, and the Uchiha clan crest of their fan shape, Hiruzen Sarutobi's mind surged with thoughts that silently cried out, "No, no, don't go, please..."

Until the unwilling glint in his eyes vanished.

at the same time,

In a region far from the Land of Fire,

An elderly man with a bandage wrapped around his right eye seemed to suddenly sense something, stopping in his tracks and looking westward, an unnamed emotion playing out on his face.

"What's wrong, Danzo-senpai?"

The person leading the way made a token inquiry.

"No, it's nothing."

"Please continue walking."

He simply shook his head and said nothing more.

Through its single exposed pupil, one can see towering stone peaks that stretch into the clouds.

........

........

The Konoha arc is over.

The final chapter, Lord of Demons and Monsters.

Chapter 571 Dawn, the Past Unveiled.

The rain was drizzling down.

It doesn't stop.

Glistening raindrops streaked across the sky and landed on the woman's delicate cheeks, eventually mixing with some kind of liquid and slowly sliding down her cheek contours.

Standing in front of him was a hunched young man, who was probably able to stand up thanks to the crooked wooden stick in his hand.

In the midst of the lingering silence of the rain, a faint 'crackling' sound suddenly filled the air, like the sound of a beetle trying to crawl out from under a tree bark.

However, neither of them seemed to pay attention to the sudden sound, and they continued to quietly gaze at the small area of ​​tombs in front of them.

Today is the day to commemorate these people.

Before long, from the source of the sound, a strange creature with a human-like appearance but a distinct black and white body emerged from beneath the ground.

Before he could say anything, a cold and hoarse warning reached his ears:

"I should say,"

"Today, everyone should stay away from here."

Upon hearing this, the person who had come looking at the backs of the two suddenly had a real shadow in his eyes, clearly dissatisfied with the attitude shown by the former.

But in the end, he chose to suppress his emotions and humbly and sincerely apologized:

"I'm very sorry to disturb your mourning for your deceased companion."

"However, I do have very important information to report."

After a minimalist apology, Zephyr's humble attitude shifted along with his tone, no longer simply passive and subservient, but gradually taking the initiative and gaining control of the situation.

"The Jinchuriki of the One-Tailed Beast from Sunagakure has been successfully captured. Now we are just waiting for the two of you to arrive so we can extract the Tailed Beast sealed within him."

"After completing the extraction of the One-Tailed Shukaku, they will immediately head to Konoha to hunt down the most important Nine-Tailed Jinchuriki amidst the chaos."

The news he heard somewhat eased the displeasure on Nagato's face.

However, he didn't show any joy at this, because...

"Let's go back, Xiao Nan."

The cold voice was devoid of any tact, and upon closer listening, it even hinted at a degree of hostility.

"Yes."

Upon hearing this, the aloof woman beside him gave a brief reply before transforming into fluttering white paper scraps and flying away into the distance.

He himself disappeared from the spot, protected by several prominent, imperceptible puppets.

The world around them, devoid of dialogue, returned to a world of rain once more.

The strange creature with black and white skin did not rush to leave, but remained with most of its body submerged in the ground.

He seemed to be thinking about something.

I don’t know how much time has passed,

The dim light and the relentless rain made time seem to stand still in this space.

"You must have sensed it, right? The strange behavior of these two people."

A slightly mischievous voice rang out in the otherwise deserted place.

"Ah."

"It seems that something is deliberately guarding against us."

"It turns out that only Konan was acting strangely, but now Nagato has probably joined in as well."

"What are they plotting, or have they already discovered something?"

The reply that followed was completely different from the former, much hoarser and more composed.

Such words are not merely answers, but also deeper self-questions.

"I don't see anything special around me."

"Well, even if there is any, it will all be covered and washed away by the rain."

White Zetsu's eyes carefully surveyed the surroundings, but everything here was exactly the same as usual.

The muddy soil, the simple grave, and the mourning flowers that had begun to crumble from the pounding rain.

"Then go down and have a look."

Without any intention of letting it go, a hoarse voice rang out, directly driving the strange body to sink into the ground.

He wouldn't overlook any small anomaly that appeared in the plan.

After all, they had been planning for this for a thousand years!

Now that we've reached a point where hope is within reach, I will not allow anyone to sabotage it, nor will I let my pieces slip out of my control!

After a while,

This carbon-based creature with a bizarre aloe vera-shaped head has re-emerged from beneath the earth.

And compared to before,

Yu Zhi's expression clearly became ferocious and something was wrong.

Not only his complexion, but even the voice he uttered became serious and his teeth were clenched.

"The soil has distinct color layers, and the long-decayed bones show signs of being moved."

"Those two guys really did something here!"

"But what exactly is it?"

"What else have you discovered?"

As the words continued downwards, the expression on Black Zetsu's face became increasingly distorted.

This uncertainty could pose a significant risk to their established plans.

"How to do?"

"Should we have Obito Uchiha act ahead of schedule?"

"Anyway, the Rinnegan has been fully tamed, and all that's left to complete the final plan is a few tailed beasts."
