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

"Are you still late?"

Kakashi arrived a few seconds later, and seeing Naruto shouting with sorrow and determination, he sighed slightly.

Although he knew that Sasuke carried a deep-seated hatred, he did not expect the other party to be so resolute.

"Judging from Naruto's words, Sasuke is following Hagoromo Gengetsu. It seems that the intelligence speculation was indeed correct."

"Feathered Robe and Mysterious Moon".

This guy is even more troublesome than Itachi Uchiha.

Kakashi frowned, recalling how easily his opponent had broken through his Chidori last time.

It was such an eventful time.

"Quicksand Waterfall!"

A violent sandstorm surged up from the ground, instantly turning a forest within a hundred meters radius into a desert.

With Gaara's move, the smoke-filled battlefield was nearing its end.

The combination of the twelve Konoha 12 members, plus the Sand Village's new recruits, including the One-Tailed Jinchuriki, forced the Sound Four into a series of defeats, even after they entered Cursed Seal State 2. By now, very few of them are still standing.

"Let's end all of this now!"

Under the secret technique of Inuzuka-ryu human-beast hybrid transformation, Inuzuka Kiba, now transformed into a two-headed wolf, launched a fierce charge, ready to deliver the final blow.

Shikamaru, whose chakra was almost depleted, did not stop them.

In his view, what follows is already a foregone conclusion.

However, the next second, an accident suddenly occurred.

Just as Kiba Inuzuka charged forward, the two-headed wolf he had transformed into was instantly sent flying back in a sorry state. With a "bang," white smoke billowed out, and the secret technique was directly shattered. Kiba Inuzuka and Akamaru's unconscious bodies were immediately revealed to everyone present.

"how come?"

Shikamaru's pupils suddenly contracted. Before he could say anything, a dark shadow rushed over at lightning speed and sent him flying with a single punch, even though he was practically defenseless.

"That's... Sakon?" In the last second before losing consciousness, Shikamaru recognized the person who had come, his face full of confusion.

Why did this person, who was clearly on the verge of death, suddenly unleash such incredible speed?

"Zakon" had no interest in explaining. After kicking the weakened Choji towards Gaara, he heard the "ding" sound in his mind indicating the mission was complete. Without lingering, he quickly rushed out of the forest.

boom.

As the shadow clone dissipated, the real Sakon, who was nearby, woke up from his coma.

He looked around in confusion, wondering why he was there.

However, when he realized that he had escaped without his knowledge, he didn't think much about it and didn't even have time to consider that his brother Ukon was still on the battlefield. He decisively chose to flee.

He hadn't run far when he heard the clear sound of wind chimes ringing.

"I'm really lucky today, another prey has come to me."

Kisame raised his head, looked at Sakon who was running towards him in a panic, and smiled with satisfaction.

The person who just knocked out Kiba, Shikamaru, and Choji with a clear objective was none other than Hagoromo Gengetsu.

To be precise, they were his shadow clones.

Although she kept posing on top of the statue in Godfall Valley, Yu Yi Xuan Yue did not forget the new mission issued by the system.

Therefore, he specially dispatched a shadow clone, which led to the actions just now.

As for why they disguised themselves as Sakon...

Aside from the fact that the other person fainted right next to them.

He certainly didn't want the news to spread like wildfire throughout the ninja world the next day that the mighty Yu Yi Gengetsu had attacked three kids who hadn't even grown their first hairs yet.

The plan was executed smoothly.

After reading the memories transmitted back by the shadow clone, Hagoromo Gengetsu, who was traveling with Sasuke, turned her attention to the system.

Main Quest: Become the leader of the truant group of four (Completed)

[Congratulations, host, on successfully defeating the four truants! You have taken a big step on your path to dominating the ninja academy!]

[Mission Rewards: Standard Chunin-level Chakra; Konoha-style Swordsmanship: Crescent Moon Dance]

The rewards for this mission weren't weird this time.

Yu Yi Xuan Yue felt a chakra, slightly more present than that of a genin, flowing into her body. She also noticed the Konoha-style sword technique called Crescent Moon Dance appearing in her mind, ready to be used at any time. She nodded slightly.

To be fair, if we follow the system's standards of understanding, I, who should still be in the Upper Ninja Academy, would indeed see a significant improvement in my strength if I received the aforementioned rewards.

But since he had transmigrated decades earlier, the early rewards from the system were no longer of any interest to him.

All we can do now is speed up the process.

"System, are there any new main quests?" Yu Yi Xuan Yue asked.

This time the system was very accommodating.

soon.

The "ding" sound rang in my mind again.

Chapter 70 Dominating the Ninja Academy!

【Ding! 】

[Task being posted]

Main Quest: Dominate the Ninja Academy

[Mission Description: Having successfully defeated the four truants, the host has gained the attention of teachers and classmates. Now, only one mountain remains to overcome in order to dominate the ninja academy! That is Uchiha Sasuke, the perennial top student, the orphan of the Uchiha clan, the possessor of the powerful Sharingan, the reincarnation of Indra, and the one with unparalleled dominance in the ninja academy! The old king is dead, the new king has ascended the throne! Please, host, dismantle this mountain of Uchiha Sasuke and achieve your goal of dominating the ninja academy.]

[Task Hint: This is a main quest; it cannot be refused or avoided.]

Sasuke Uchiha?

Mountains?

Yu Yi Xuan Yue glanced at Uchiha Sasuke, who had risked betraying his village and traveled thousands of miles to seek his power.

Is this the mountain?

"Let me see your strength later," Yu Yi Xuan Yue said to Sasuke.

"Ok!"

Sasuke, who thought that Yu Yi Xuan Yue was going to assess his abilities so that he could teach him according to his aptitude, nodded excitedly.

"Where are we going?" he asked impatiently.

Yu Yi Xuan Yue led the way without turning her head, saying:

“A great place.”

"Itachi, I've brought him."

Inside the forest, Uchiha Itachi, who was gazing in the direction of Godfall Valley, heard his partner's voice behind him. He turned around and walked over without any expression on his face. He used his right hand to hold Sakon's head on Kisame's shoulder, and their eyes met. His three-tomoe Sharingan spun rapidly.

Soon, Zuo Jin, his eyes still blurry, appeared in the illusion with a joyful expression and said:

"Lord Orochimaru! We've successfully brought Sasuke back."

Itachi Uchiha withdrew his hand and said calmly, "We already know Orochimaru's location. Inform the leader of this."

Kisame snapped Sakon's neck with a "crack" and nodded.

Soon, Payne obtained the information using the ring's communication function, and then relayed the message to the nearest artistic duo.

"Yo~ Brother Sasori, we've found Orochimaru, who's always playing whack-a-mole. Hmm." Deidara waved excitedly.

"That stinking snake, we'll skin him alive this time!" Scorpion said, his eyes gleaming with cold light.

Heretics are always more detestable than heretics.

As fellow seekers of eternity, Sasori has always disliked Orochimaru, and he was the most active in the previous operation to hunt down Orochimaru.

However, Orochimaru hid himself even deeper and deeper, and remained undetected for a long time.

Scorpion was naturally overjoyed to have found the enemy's lair.

"set off!"

"Great!"

Deidara tossed his hand, and the originally small clay giant bird instantly grew larger, carrying Deidara and Sasori. With a flap of its wings, it took off in an instant and flew rapidly towards Orochimaru's lair, as indicated in the intelligence report.

"Ah!!! Where's Sasuke? Why isn't he here yet?"

Orochimaru, trembling with pain, roared repeatedly throughout the underground base.

Kabuto Yakushi, who had been observing Orochimaru's condition closely, pushed up his glasses with a grave expression and said, "All the medications are no longer effective. This can't go on. Lord Orochimaru, perhaps you should consider the alternative plan."

"Where's Sasuke?" Orochimaru pressed on, unwilling to give up.

Kabuto shook his head: "We haven't heard anything back for a long time, so it's highly likely that we've failed."

"Not even Kimimaro?"

Orochimaru looked at his burning, aching hands, feeling the unbearable burden on his soul, and finally accepted reality, saying:

"That's it."

boom!

Before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by a sudden explosion from above.

Kabuto's expression changed, and he scooped up Orochimaru, disappearing from the room in a flash.

next second.

The ceiling of the room collapsed with a loud crash.

Accompanying this was a joyful shout.
