Naruto: I've already fought against all five Kage, and the system only just arrived.

No one would believe that Sasuke did it.

The other side has been away from the village for less than a year; their strength could not have increased so rapidly.

"Uchiha?"

Kakashi nodded as he pondered this, and led the group into the Fire Temple. Guided by a monk, they met Jiriku, the abbot of the Fire Temple.

Aside from being somewhat listless, Di Lu, who was otherwise physically fine, clasped his hands together and greeted the group.

Jiraiya knew all of Kakashi and other veteran Jonin from Konoha.

At this moment, he didn't stand on ceremony and said, "I originally thought Asuma would be leading the team this time."

Kakashi, who knew about Asuma's relationship with Jiraiya, hadn't paid much attention to the fact that Asuma had always led the missions at the Fire Temple.

"Asuma's squad has gone on a mission and won't be back for a while. Because of the Sharingan ninja mentioned in the intelligence, I'll be leading the team this time."

"So, Jiraiya, is it true, as the intelligence reports, that Sasuke is accompanied by members of the Uchiha clan?"

Kakashi asked Rikudo with a serious expression.

Upon hearing this, recalling the scene of his eye contact with the masked man, Di Lu nodded solemnly and said:

"I saw it with my own eyes, and that person's eyes were definitely Sharingan. With my cultivation of the Immortal Clan, I could have resisted most genjutsu. But when facing that person, I am ashamed to say that I was directly hit in just a moment, and I was unable to break free from the genjutsu until the other party left."

Even a powerful figure like Di Lu had no power to resist.

Kakashi frowned.

Even if he used Sharingan genjutsu, he most likely couldn't do that.

Kakashi looked at Kurenai Yuhi, the illusion master, beside him.

Kurenai Yuhi, understanding Kakashi's meaning, shook her head slightly, indicating that she couldn't do it either.

"A master of Uchiha genjutsu? Someone like Itachi? Or perhaps someone with the Mangekyou Sharingan?"

Kakashi suddenly had many guesses.

If things turn out as the last guess was true, then everything will be in trouble.

Thinking back to the outcome of his battle with Itachi Uchiha, Kakashi's heart sank slightly.

After that, he carefully inquired about the physical characteristics of the Uchiha people.

Di Lu shook his head, indicating that the person was wearing a white vortex mask and could only be identified as an adult male based on his appearance.

However, Kakashi and his group had a very clear understanding of Sasuke's situation through the descriptions given by the monks they had previously fought.

"Three-tomoe Sharingan, Lightning Release Chakra Transformation, Chidori Stream Ninjutsu. Sasuke, you've made considerable progress in such a short time."

Kakashi had mixed feelings.

Suddenly, he found himself somewhat understanding Sasuke's actions.

"As expected of your disciple, Kakashi!" Guy patted Kakashi on the shoulder reassuringly.

Kakashi sighed helplessly, "Kai, you didn't really need to say that."

Although she knew Kai didn't mean anything by it, she still felt a little overwhelmed by what he said.

"Without the help of Jonin, we'll have a hard time dealing with a Sharingan with three tomoe." At this moment, Shino stepped forward and finally finished speaking.

But when he adjusted his sunglasses and looked around, he found that no one had responded to him.

"It's happening again."

Shino lowered his head silently and continued to withdraw into himself.

Although no one responded immediately, what Shino said was true.

Even though Ya was there, disdainfully stating that he could take down Sasuke even if he were to fight alone.

As Jonin who had witnessed battles between Uchiha ninjas, Kakashi, Kurenai, and Guy were all well aware of the power of the Three-Tomoe Sharingan.

"It seems we need to change our battle plan," Kakashi said.

The initial plan was for the three Jonin to deal with the masked Uchiha, while the rest of the team would take care of Sasuke.

But Sasuke's strength far exceeded expectations.

We must now allocate Jonin to ensure the smooth execution of this operation.

Upon hearing this, Guy said he would listen to Kakashi in everything, and Kurenai Yuhi had no objections.

So, Kakashi and his group, having quickly devised a new battle plan, bid farewell to the land and began to track Sasuke and the other man in the direction they had gone.

"Blind eyes!"

Hinata opened her Byakugan and quickly searched for any clues within a one-kilometer radius.

"Hinata-sama."

Neji glanced at Hinata, whose expression was more serious than ever before, and then, as if remembering something, he opened his Byakugan with a serious expression and joined in to help.

Not only them, but Kiba and Akamaru also sniffed around using the scents they had just collected at the Fire Temple.

Shino also summoned an army of insects, which searched various places.

This is why Tsunade specifically instructed them to bring Team 8.

As a tracking team, this is what they do best.

Before long, the three of them had a lead.

Led by Team 8, the group quickly set off, chasing after Hagoromo Gengetsu and Sasuke in roughly the same direction.

Chapter 125 Thanks to Danzo for the Gift

"arrive."

With a whooshing sound, Yu Yi Xuan Yue and Sasuke emerged from the forest and arrived at a clearing. They looked at the towering mountain in front of them, which was surrounded by abysses on all sides and was clearly man-made, as straight as chopsticks.

Sasuke looked up and could vaguely see a building standing on the mountaintop.

"Is this Mount Gecheng?"

Sasuke, who already knew the destination on the way, asked with some surprise.

If Yu Yi Xuan Yue hadn't told him, he would have had absolutely no recollection of this place or the Earth Spider clan who lived here and possessed some kind of powerful forbidden technique.

"Just how powerful must this forbidden technique be to make even Lady Hagoromo want to witness it?"

Sasuke was thinking just that.

Yu Yi Xuan Yue stepped forward and said, "Follow me, there are traps everywhere here."

"Yes."

Sasuke regained his composure and followed closely behind Yui Gengetsu.

As you can see, with each step Yu Yixuanyue takes, black sealing patterns appear where her feet touch, spreading to the surrounding ground and sealing the traps and explosive tags that are about to explode below.

Danzo was a very good person.

Not only did they hand over the Mangekyou Sharingan, but they also revealed all of Root's secrets.

When Yu Yi Xuan Yue was scavenging the Root base, in addition to the most crucial high-tech instruments and materials, she also preserved the Root and took away some sealing techniques originating from the Uzumaki clan.

With these foundations, he made rapid progress in the development of the Yin Seal and the improvement of the Corpse Demon Sealing Technique.

Now, using sealing techniques to deal with these traps underfoot is as simple as it gets.

Soon, Yu Yi Xuan Yue led Sasuke through a large open area specially reserved by the Tsuchigumo clan and arrived at the abyss.

A chasm with a diameter of twenty or thirty meters is a dead end for ordinary people, but it is nothing to ninjas.

However, the abyss in front of them was shrouded in a barrier, causing many ninjas who wanted to see the forbidden Earth Spider Technique to hesitate.

Unlike when she faced the sealing barrier of the Fire Temple, Yu Yi Xuan Yue did not smash the barrier in front of her with a single punch.

Even though they are both barriers, their forms of expression are different.

The barrier of the Earth Spider Clan cannot be broken by brute force alone; we need to specifically target its weaknesses.

With a flick of his Mangekyou Sharingan beneath the Feathered Robe and Crescent Moon Mask, his powerful perception swiftly analyzed the entire barrier.

A few minutes later, his gaze fell upon a corner of the building complex atop Mount Katsuragi.

That was precisely the weakest point in the barrier.

"Dust Escape·The Art of Original Realm Peeling!"

With her hands outstretched, Yu Yixuanyue extended the square transparent barrier in her hands, which flew straight towards a corner of the building complex and silently separated it into atomic states in an instant.

puff.

Like a bubble bursting.

The barrier in front of them completely dissipated.

With a swift movement, Yu Yi Xuan Yue and Sasuke leaped over the abyss, their feet landing on the slopes of Mount Katsuragi, and quickly raced towards the summit.

at the same time.

Mount Katsuragi, the main residence of the Earth Spider Clan.

With little time left, the traveler, who was reminiscing about the past, suddenly heard the sound of the sealing crystal ball monitoring the state of the barrier shattering, and his aged face changed drastically.

Beside him, Dunbei, one of the attendants of the traveler who had also noticed the state of the crystal, said in disbelief:

"How could the barrier disappear? Could it be that an enemy has invaded? The traps around Mount Katsuragi clearly didn't activate!"

En no Gyoza, who had experienced the Third Shinobi World War, said with a solemn expression:

"This only proves one thing: this enemy is exceptionally powerful!"

"Dunbei! Quick! Take Ying to the secret passage and hide in the hidden village in the mountains for a while!"

The messenger immediately gave the order.

Knowing what the En no Kyouzōzō intended to do, the Dūbei anxiously said, "My lord, let me hold off the enemy. You should take Lady Yō and go!"

The Traveler shook his head and said, "The enemy is looking for me. Ying is the only hope for our clan, and I entrust her future to you. Dunbei! Do not hesitate any longer!"
