He stopped and turned around to ask, "How did you get the injuries on your face? Did Yun beat you up?"

Sasuke shook his head: "I lost to Rock Lee, Guy's student, today."

Lee Rock?

Itachi frowned: "The students in Guy's class should only be one year older than you. Just in terms of the power of their Mangekyou Sharingan, they are no match for you."

Sasuke replied, "Brother Yun sealed my Sharingan so that I could learn from his efforts and will."

Nodding, Itachi turned around and sat back down on the steps, while Sasuke beside him had already changed his shoes.

"There have been a lot of rumors circulating about your Team 7 lately among the Jonin. Such a title is indeed somewhat counterproductive when it is placed on the three of you kids."

"Overconfidence is not a good thing for a ninja, but a lack of confidence can sometimes be just as fatal."

"How many gates of the Eight Inner Gates did that Rock Lee open?"

Sasuke was stunned for a moment: "Brother, you also know about the Eight Gates? You opened five gates during the battle. With that kind of chakra burst, even without the Sharingan, I couldn't see the opponent's attack clearly."

After a moment's thought, Itachi replied, "To open the fifth gate at the age of thirteen, the opponent is indeed a genius in taijutsu. However, the reason why the Eight Gates is listed as a forbidden technique is because it causes great damage to the body."

"As for the Five Gates... it seems that Might Guy's target is Cloud. With that ability, there is indeed no need to worry about the physical condition, and he can also understand the power he has when he risked his life."

Itachi looked at Sasuke: "Don't be arrogant or lose confidence. The other person's talent in taijutsu is due to both hard work and natural talent. You have your own path too."

"The Eight Gates Formation, once the Gate of Death is opened, will inevitably end in death, and the Mangekyou Sharingan..."

Itachi suddenly stopped talking.

However, Sasuke was able to guess what Itachi originally wanted to say: that his eyesight would deteriorate and he would go blind.

Although it's nothing compared to life, it still serves as a reminder about the possibility of eye transplantation.

For a moment, the courtyard fell silent.

After a long while, Sasuke got up to go back to his room: "Brother, you should rest early too."

Itachi nodded, still seated.

The two brothers didn't say anything, but they did express their respective positions.

The process of growing up has a great influence on the shaping of a person's character. In the original work, Sasuke, who was willing to do anything for power, was no longer willing to accept such power after the hatred of the night of the massacre of his clan was gone.

……

Meanwhile, underground in the northern part of the Land of Iron.

"Damn Uchiha! Bastard!"

"That bastard!"

"Kill him! You must kill him!"

"If it weren't for him, if it weren't for him..."

The enraged Black Zetsu was on the verge of collapse.

Thousands of years of effort, thousands of years of waiting for this opportunity, have rendered us helpless because of this so-called bloodline atavism.

Mom... I will definitely save you!

must! !

"You can't kill him. With our current strength, we can't even carry out an operation like this again."

Obito's voice once again enraged Black Zetsu, but the truth is the truth, and the difference in power will not change because of any emotions.

Black Zetsu is not Naruto, nor does he possess the ability to unleash his full power.

"I can't get close to Uchiha Kumo; his senses are just too strong."

The white Zetsu that emerged from the ground immediately retreated.

The rock that Black Zetsu threw missed its target; he didn't want to hear such news.

"call……"

After letting out a sigh, Obito disappeared underground.

Kisame has not returned yet, and the resurrected First Hokage and Madara Uchiha have both fallen into the hands of Uchiha Un.

It's clear that it's impossible to get it back from that guy.

Under these circumstances, the small organization currently involved in the Eye of the Month project is already facing disintegration.

There was no point in staying underground anymore. Black Zetsu's rage stemmed from the fact that his original body could no longer be resurrected, which was not necessarily a bad thing for him.

After leaving the underground, Obito was at a loss as to where to go.

It's been a long time since I've been to Konoha. With Uchiha Yun around, even with the abilities of Intangibility and Word of Life, I'm no longer as composed as before.

Lin...

The Eye of the Moon project may no longer be possible, and the world with you in it may never be formed.

"Obito, are you trying to poop?"

"White Zetsu, keep an eye on Uchiha Yun from a distance. Just make sure he leaves Konoha."

"What do you want to do? That guy is terrifying."

"Go and sweep the grave; it won't disturb him."

Uchiha Yun did not leave, and did not even dare to enter Konoha.

This situation is vastly different from what it was a few years ago.

Obito had lost confidence that the Eye of the Moon Plan could still be executed. Perhaps a new opportunity would arise when Uzumaki Sora and Uchiha Kumo clashed.

These two people were like a mountain pressing down on everyone, and no one dared to make a move.

Obito reached out and pressed his hand against his chest.

And here too.

Madara Uchiha's Impure World Reincarnation technique has been sealed, but if it is not eliminated, it will ultimately be an accident that could lead to his death.

The words of Uzumaki Sora flashed through his mind again.

Is there anyone in the entire ninja world I can still trust?

After leaving the northern part of the Land of Iron, Obito wandered aimlessly, waiting for information from White Zetsu.

He wanted to see Lin again, the Lin of the past, and perhaps the only Lin he would ever see again.

……

Chapter 321: The Fourteenth Transaction

October 10th, Konoha, Hokage Building.

"call……"

After exhaling, Minato put the documents in front of him aside.

At this time, it's really hard to calm down...

Shikaku, who was organizing documents nearby, looked over and said, "I know that the annual trading hours of Vortex Sky are important, but they are meaningless to us."

Minato rubbed his temples: "In the past three years, we only learned from Takigakure that he had made one deal with the Seven-Tails. We have no information about the other two."

Shikaku put the scroll down and then looked at Minato.

"Three tailed beasts were kidnapped by Obito Uchiha. It has been confirmed that the Seven-Tails made a deal with Sora Uzumaki. If we make a bold guess about the other two, the most likely ones are the Four-Tails and the Five-Tails."

Three tailed beasts?

Adding the Nine-Tails to the existing Nine-Tails, there are already four tailed beasts. Obito's Infinite Tsukuyomi also requires the power of all nine tailed beasts to be gathered.

Based on the inscription on the stone tablet at the Uchiha Naga Shrine, it seems that the ultimate power of the Byakugan is still insufficient to meet Uzumaki Sora's power requirements.

"Knowing the timeline, there's nothing we can do to stop it. You're absolutely right, Shikaku."

Minato was about to pick up the document again when Shikaku walked over and pushed him back down.

"You'd be better off going back and getting some rest. Today is Naruto's birthday, and he already invited Shikamaru a couple of days ago."

Shikaku picked up the file and put it aside: "Since there's no way to stop them, we can only wait for them to make the first move. There's no use thinking too much. Besides, Shikamaru will definitely be back late today, so I need to go back early too."

Minato paused for a moment, then asked with amusement, "Does the person at home have a mission?"

Shikaku nodded: "Long-term missions should be completed when the time is right. Isn't it the same for the Hokage?"

Minato sighed at these words: "It's been years, and the mission is still not over. Naruto has already graduated, and I wonder if he'll ever have a younger sister."

Lu Jiu smiled and stretched.

"That's enough work for today. Even puppets need maintenance, let alone us normal people. Let's rest for the night and talk about it tomorrow."

……

The lights in the Hokage Building went out, while Minato's house was bustling with activity.

"Hinata, I didn't know what you liked to eat, so I could only ask Naruto yesterday."

"We have tempura, Ishikari nabe, and ramen. You can tell me what else you like."

"We've prepared plenty of ingredients, so Auntie can cook now!"

Hinata blushed deeply when Kushina questioned her. At twelve years old, she clearly knew where this treatment came from.

Hinata glanced at Naruto furtively, hesitating whether she should tell Aunt Kushina the truth.

"Damn it. Ever since Hinata appeared, Aunt Kushina's love has been stolen away. She used to ask me the same thing before."

Karin took a big bite of the apple in her hand as she spoke.

Sai, who was standing nearby, turned his head and smiled, saying, "If you're willing to be Naruto's concubine, then you should get the same treatment."

These words instantly enraged Karin, and if Sakura hadn't stopped her, they probably would have started fighting.

After finally managing to persuade Karin, Sakura looked at her teammate and sighed.

"If you keep going like this, you'll probably get beaten to death sooner or later."

Sai looked puzzled: "You're so ugly, how come you're still alive? Why would I be beaten to death?"
