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

No one dared to run away.

The thick stench of blood in the air served as a reminder of the consequences of resistance and escape.

Ebizo looked around, his whole body enveloped in a deep sorrow.

How did Sunagakure, one of the five great ninja villages in the ninja world, become what it is today?

With the Kazekage kidnapped, Kankuro poisoned, and Temari seriously injured, the entire Sunagakure village was left without anyone capable of resisting the external enemy.

The entire village has now fallen into such a humiliating state.

On the rooftops surrounding the plaza of Sunagakure, stood Uchiha clan ninjas.

The crimson Sharingan stared intently at them, drool constantly dripping from its mouth.

Although every resurrected Uchiha clansman craved the feast before them, none dared to act on their own.

They were all acutely aware that if they dared to act rashly, they would lose their hard-won chance to be resurrected in the next second.

On the rooftop.

Muzan glanced at the group of people in front of him, urging Shisui beside him to act.

Shisui nodded, staring at Chiyo and Ebizo, his voice echoing clearly in the square: "As long as everyone in Sunagakure worships the God of Bliss and becomes a follower of the Eternal Bliss Cult, we will release you. Not only that, we will also bring the Kazekage Gaara back safely."

Chiyo and Ebizo remained completely unmoved by Shisui's words.

They were all seasoned veterans who understood the intentions behind Uchiha Shisui's words.

If the entire village of Sunagakure worshipped the God of Bliss and joined the Eternal Bliss Cult, would Sunagakure still be called Sunagakure?

Why not just call it a branch of the Eternal Bliss Sect!

What is the difference between destroying a village spiritually and destroying a village physically?

It's even more heinous than physically annihilating the village!

Chiyo turned around and looked at the villagers behind her.

What worried her was that the villagers, in their fear, had blindly believed the words of Uchiha Shisui.

However, to Chiyo's surprise, not a single one of the tens of thousands of villagers and ninjas in the entire square uttered a sound.

Their eyes did indeed hold a lingering fear, but even more so, they held disgust, hatred, and unwavering resolve.

"Elder Chiyo, we are from Sunagakure, and that will never change!"

Noticing Chiyo's gaze, the villager who was being protected behind her spoke slowly.

Chiyo was startled.

Chapter 488 Is this even human language?

Why is it so quiet?

At the entrance to Sunagakure, Naruto looked up at the gate and asked in confusion.

Not only is it quiet, but there's not even any security.

Kakashi and Sakura looked around, their expressions gradually becoming serious.

As one of the five great ninja villages, Sunagakure had already arrived at the village's gates, yet not a single Sunagakure ninja had come forward to inquire. How could this be?

Kakashi and Sakura exchanged a glance.

"Could something have happened to Sunagakure?"

Sakura guessed.

Kakashi nodded: "Let's go in and take a look."

He took a step forward, then suddenly stopped.

"What's wrong, Kakashi-sensei?"

Seeing Kakashi-sensei stop, Naruto craned his neck to look into the gate of Sunagakure in confusion.

The road inside the gate of Sunagakure Village was deserted.

There wasn't a soul in sight.

Naruto's heart also tightened, and he became tense.

"Infiltrate carefully and don't get discovered. Something's happened inside Sunagakure."

Kakashi gave a reminder.

Naruto and Sakura nodded immediately.

Instead of entering through the main gate, the three of them carefully sneaked into Sunagakure from both sides.

Three dark figures flashed past.

Kakashi and his two companions lay prone on the towering walls of Sunagakure. As they slowly raised their heads from the solidified sand, the scene before them froze them in place.

The city walls are tall and offer a wide view, allowing a panoramic view of the entire Sunagakure village.

The scene that Kakashi and his two companions witnessed left them speechless with shock.

The entire village of Sunagakure was deathly silent.

The streets, houses, and shops were all deserted.

Conversely, in the center of Sunagakure.

The plaza in front of the Fengying Building was packed with a sea of ​​people.

They stood motionless in the square, like statues, their faces shrouded in a somber shadow.

Even from this distance, Naruto could feel the despair emanating from these people.

A powerful ninja village has fallen to such a state!

A pair of scarlet Sharingan eyes were reflected in Kakashi's eyes.

Even though he couldn't see their faces clearly, Kakashi could guess their identities just by looking at their distinctive Sharingan eyes.

"They are members of the Eternal Bliss Sect!"

Kakashi frowned, his gaze fixed on two figures on the rooftop of the Kazekage Building.

"Too far away, can't see clearly."

Sakura narrowed her eyes and spoke to Kakashi and Naruto beside her.

Kakashi had a vague idea in his mind.

His gaze met Sakura's.

Sakura pursed her lips: "Kakashi-sensei, the Hokage said Muzan is in the Land of Wind..."

Naruto was taken aback and immediately looked at Sakura, his eyes flashing with surprise: "Could Muzan be here too?"

If Muzan were here, whose side would he be on?

Naruto looked at the rooftop of the Kazekage Building, and his smile gradually faded.

A slight tremor came from the ground.

Kakashi's expression changed: "Run!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Naruto and Sakura rushed to the side without thinking.

Kakashi retreated repeatedly.

The ground in front of him cracked rapidly.

A huge vine burst from the ground, stretching between the three of them, eager to take flight.

Upon seeing the familiar Wood Release technique, the identity of the person on the rooftop was immediately confirmed.

Without hesitation, Naruto ran towards the rooftop of the Kazekage Building.

His figure darted swiftly across the rooftops of Sunagakure, steadily approaching the Kazekage Building.

"Naruto!"

Sakura called out anxiously and hurriedly chased after Naruto.

Kakashi looked at the vines in front of him and caught up with Sakura.

Naruto's heart was pounding faster, as if it were about to jump out of his chest.

His gaze was fixed on the approaching figure, not wavering for a moment.

It's been three years. What has Muzan become?

"Muzan!"

Naruto stood on a rooftop ten meters away from the Kazekage Building.

His dilated pupils reflected a familiar figure on the rooftop.

Despite the significant changes Muzan has undergone, Naruto can still recognize him at a glance.

Muzan has grown taller!

He seems to be even taller than him!

Sakura and Kakashi landed beside Naruto.

"They're Konoha ninjas!"

Ebizo saw the headbands on the heads of Kakashi and the other two.

Chiyo's gaze swept over Kakashi's striking silver hair: "If it's not Amamiya Rei, what difference does it make who it is?"

Ebizo fell silent.

It seems that no one but Rei Amamiya can solve the current situation.

"Muzan..."

The moment Sakura saw Muzan, her eyes involuntarily reddened.

Muzan looked at them and greeted them, "Long time no see."

Naruto immediately shouted, "Muzan! Come back to the village with us! Let's go home!"

Naruto's voice was loud, and the people of Sunagakure looked at him with strange expressions.

Return to Konoha?

The person before me is already a member of the Eternal Bliss Sect!

Is returning to Konoha an attempt to turn it into a second Sunagakure?

How could anyone be so blind to the situation?

The entire village was crowding into the square. Was it because they liked it?

Sakura's hand pressed down on Naruto's shoulder like an iron clamp, preventing him from making any sudden moves.

Kakashi stared at Muzan without saying a word.

He thought of the power of Muzan's eyes.

If Muzan could see the future, what kind of future did he see that led him to join the Eternal Paradise Cult?

Kakashi couldn't figure out what Muzan was thinking.

"go home?"

Muzan raised an eyebrow, stared at Naruto, and said, word by word, "I've always been at home. Where should I go back to? The Eternal Paradise Cult is my home."

Muzan's words left Naruto stunned for a moment.

what?

What did Muzan say?

Is this human talk?

Naruto's chest instantly ignited with a raging fire of anger.

His eyes blazed with fury as he shouted at Muzan, "What are you saying! Muzan! Kibutsuji Muzan! Do you even know what you're saying? Konoha is your home! You're a Konoha ninja! How could you forget that? And your sister! Don't you miss her? She suffered for you for three whole years..."
