Cos Wuzan, was stabbed ten times by Heize at the beginning

A figure darted across the rooftops of Konoha, landing steadily on the tallest utility pole in the village.

Naruto stood with his hands on his hips, looking around and taking in the entire Hidden Leaf Village.

Finally home!

His gaze fell on the Fire Shadow Rock not far away.

When he left Konoha, his sister's statue was not yet completed!

Looking at it now, I can tell that the older sister is definitely prettier in person!

"Naruto?"

A shocked sound came from under the telephone pole.

Naruto looked down and saw Sakura!

Sakura's eyes were filled with a mixture of surprise and delight.

She gazed at Naruto high above, her green eyes immediately welling up with tears.

Naruto leaped down from the telephone pole and stood in front of Sakura, already taller than her.

Sakura stretched out her fist and gently punched Naruto's chest, feeling a solid touch.

"Long time no see, Naruto."

Sakura said with a smile.

Naruto scratched the back of his head sheepishly, his eyes darting back and forth to Sakura: "Sakura, it's been so long! I've missed you so much! Give me a hug!"

Before Sakura could even agree, Naruto had already stretched out his arms, his face full of ecstasy, and he even pouted.

Sakura stared at Naruto's increasingly close mouth, her face full of confusion.

Didn't you say you wanted a hug?

Why is Naruto pouting?

Sakura raised her fist.

With a "bang," Naruto clutched his head, and a large bump quickly swelled up on it.

Naruto looked at Sakura with teary eyes.

Sakura snorted coldly: "Now that you're back, come with me to see the Hokage!"

Thinking of his sister, Naruto wiped away his tears and cried out with great anticipation, "I miss my sister so much! Sakura, let's go!"

Naruto ran energetically toward the Hokage Building.

Sakura shook her head helplessly and caught up with Naruto.

Inside the Hokage's office.

Jiraiya arrived before Naruto.

Looking at Rei Amamiya, who had matured considerably, he felt a mix of emotions.

"Lord Jiraiya, thank you for your hard work these past three years."

"That's what Rei Amamiya said gently."

During the three years that Jiraiya took Naruto away from Konoha for training, Jiraiya not only guided Naruto in using the power of the Nine-Tails, but also constantly collected information about the Eternal Paradise Cult and the Akatsuki organization, and passed it on to Rei Amamiya.

Of course, Jiraiya had no idea that the information he had painstakingly gathered was merely something that Rei Amamiya had deliberately revealed to him.

Jiraiya waved his hand, saying that gathering intelligence was just a side job.

"Naruto and I returned this time not only because Naruto's training period had ended, but more importantly, because we discovered Muzan's location."

Jiraiya said solemnly.

They have never given up searching for Muzan's location all these years.

Although three years have passed, as long as there is no bad news about Muzan, it is already good news.

Upon hearing Muzan's name, Rei Amamiya paused, his eyes filled with guilt, and asked, "Where is Muzan?"

"Rain Village".

Jiraiya's gaze deepened.

Over the past three years, he has taken Naruto all over the ninja world and discovered that Amegakure is very suspicious.

The headquarters of the Eternal Bliss Cult is located in Amegakure (Hidden Rain Village), and the Akatsuki, a notorious mercenary group in the ninja world, also seems to be connected to this village.

"Rain Village?"

Rei Amamiya deliberately frowned, seemingly lost in thought, and said, "In recent years, the Village of Rain and the Land of Rain have strictly prohibited outsiders from entering. Only followers of the Eternal Bliss Cult are allowed to enter, which is why there is very little information about the Village of Rain and the Land of Rain..."

Jiraiya already had a plan in mind.

Before he could speak, the door to the Hokage's office was immediately pushed open.

"elder sister!"

Naruto's excited figure entered Jiraiya's field of vision.

Jiraiya smiled helplessly and swallowed the words he wanted to say.

"Naruto!"

"I already said that it needs to be reported beforehand..."

Sakura's voice came from the corridor.

She stared at Naruto's retreating figure, then walked into the Hokage's office and bowed very politely: "Greetings, Hokage-sama!"

Seeing Sakura's actions, Naruto scratched the back of his head: "Greetings, Hokage-sama! Hehe!"

Rei Amamiya smiled and gestured to Sakura and Naruto that they didn't need to be so polite.

He stood up and walked up to Naruto, whose eyes gleamed as he stared intently at Rei Amamiya.

Rei Amamiya reached out and patted Naruto on the shoulder: "Naruto, you've grown up!"

He swallowed hard.

Upon hearing Rei Amamiya's words, Naruto couldn't help but break into a bright smile: "Hehe! Sister! I've gotten stronger!"

Sakura watched with a smile as Naruto and the Hokage interacted.

Naruto's smile faded slightly, and he solemnly assured Rei Amamiya, "We already know Muzan's location! I will definitely rescue Muzan!"

Naruto's words immediately silenced the office.

Rei Amamiya withdrew his hand from Naruto's shoulder, his eyes serious, and flatly rejected the idea: "I will not agree to you going to rescue Muzan."

Sakura pursed her lips.

For the past three years, she has not only been learning ninjutsu from Lady Tsunade, but also occasionally served as the Hokage's secretary, helping to handle some simple documents.

She knew perfectly well why Naruto couldn't go to rescue Muzan.

As the Nine-Tails' Jinchuriki, Naruto has a more important value than Muzan.

Three years ago, members of the Akatsuki organization sent Sasuke's older brother, Itachi Uchiha, in an attempt to capture Naruto. Fortunately, Jiraiya was with Naruto at the time, which prevented Itachi from succeeding.

Now, if we ask Naruto to go to Amegakure on his own initiative, wouldn't that be like delivering himself right to their doorstep?

"why?"

Naruto shouted excitedly.

"Why can't we save Muzan? I'm Muzan's brother!"

Tears welled up in Naruto's eyes.

"Over the years, who knows what kind of life Muzan has been living in the Eternal Paradise Cult?"

Naruto's voice grew louder and louder.

Sakura frowned and reminded him, "Naruto!"

Rei Amamiya: "..."

What kind of life did Muzan teach at Eternal Paradise?

Is there anyone who knows this better than him?

Muzan certainly had a good life in the Eternal Paradise Cult!

Anyway, he's so much better than Naruto!

Overwhelmed with emotion, Naruto couldn't hear anything; all he knew was that his sister was stopping him from rescuing Muzan.

"Muzan is my sister's child! How could my sister be so cruel? How could she ignore Muzan? My sister could do it! I couldn't!"

Naruto shouted.

Sakura frowned, glanced worriedly at Rei Amamiya, and then stepped forward to press down on Naruto's shoulder.

Jiraiya's sharp gaze swept over Naruto: "Naruto! Shut up!"

Naruto glanced at Rei Amamiya, then at Jiraiya, his eyes welling up with tears. He gave Rei Amamiya a deep look before turning and leaving.

"Lord Hokage, I'm going to check on Naruto!"

Sakura immediately turned around and chased after him.

Jiraiya watched Rei Amamiya's retreating figure.

Rei Amamiya rested one hand on the table, his back to Jiraiya.

Even though Jiraiya couldn't see Rei Amamiya's expression, he knew that she didn't look too good.

No one was in more pain than Rei Amamiya, but as Hokage, she had to shoulder the burden and pretend nothing had happened.

Jiraiya sighed silently in his heart. He knew that Rei Amamiya didn't want him to see her vulnerable side, so he took the initiative to leave the Hokage's office.

Sensing Jiraiya's departing chakra, Rei Amamiya's lips twitched.

Now is not the time to save Muzan; there is someone else waiting for Naruto to redeem them.

Chapter 485 You Will Die Tonight!!!

"Kibutsuji Muzan?"

Gaara pronounced the name.

In the deep, quiet night of Sunagakure, Muzan Kibutsuji's figure appeared out of nowhere in front of Gaara.

The Kibutsuji Muzan before him was exceptionally handsome.

Her facial features were delicate, her skin was pale and bloodless, without any pores, and under the moonlight she looked like a cold white porcelain doll.

His attire was flamboyant and out of place for a ninja.

He doesn't look like a ninja at all.

Gaara looked at Muzan's unusually pale skin and thought that Muzan under the moonlight didn't even look human.

Two cold glints flashed in Gaara's eyes, and he became wary.

Although Muzan Kibutsuji is a ninja from Konoha, and Konoha and Sunagakure are allies, it is well known that Muzan was captured by the Eternal Bliss Cult three years ago.

The sudden appearance of Muzan Kibutsuji in front of him and in Sunagakure is not a good sign!

Gaara doesn't know which side Muzan is currently on, whether it's Konoha or something else.

Or is it the Eternal Paradise Cult?

"haven't seen you for a long time."

Muzan's deep black curly hair swayed slowly in the wind, like venomous snakes baring their fangs.

Gaara nodded solemnly at him: "Long time no see."

A two-second silence fell between the two of them.

"Congratulations on becoming the Wind Shadow."

Muzan surveyed the Kazekage's office before him, his gaze sweeping over the photos of past Kazekage on the wall before settling on Gaara's picture.

Gaara remained silent, still unaware of Muzan's intentions, his entire being focused on Muzan before him.
