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

To others, Sakura seemed to be controlled by some invisible force.

Sakura immediately thought of Muzan's clones.

She was trained by Muzan's clones back then.

Sakura was sent flying by a punch from the invisible split entity.

Naruto stepped forward to catch Sakura, but he still underestimated the power of the split body.

The two of them smashed through the wall and rolled into the ruins.

What just happened?

After pulling Naruto and Sakura out of the rubble, Kakashi asked.

Sakura's wounds slowly healed on their own.

She clutched her injured abdomen and looked in Muzan's direction: "It's Muzan's clone! His clones can become invisible!"

Can clones become invisible?

Kakashi's heart sank.

Muzan is getting stronger and stronger!

How far has Muzan grown since then?

Has he become stronger than zero?

"We're already injured before anyone else has even made a move; we're no match for them!"

Sakura said to Kakashi-sensei.

She had just felt the immense gap in strength between herself and Muzan.

Even with all our might, we cannot defeat them.

"Our main mission is to rescue Gaara, and now Gaara..."

Kakashi was interrupted by Naruto before he could finish speaking: "Impossible! Gaara can't be dead!"

Seeing Naruto's stubbornness, Kakashi knew it wouldn't be easy to persuade him to go back.

"Our mission is to save Gaara, not to fight the Eternal Bliss Cult. There's no need for us to stay here."

Kakashi looked at Naruto.

Chapter 490 Few could coerce him!

Sakura nodded.

"That's right!"

"Rescuing Gaara is the most important thing!"

She looked at Naruto.

Naruto stared at Muzan, his fists clenched, his eyes filled with resentment: "But Muzan..."

Kakashi stared at Naruto sternly: "Naruto, you can't bring Muzan back right now! Go and carry out the mission to rescue Gaara first! His situation is even more critical!"

Naruto gave Muzan a deep look and nodded vigorously: "Okay!"

Kakashi looked at Sakura: "Sakura, you might need to stay."

Sakura nodded calmly: "I know, I haven't cured Kankuro's poison yet."

"But……"

Hearing Kakashi and Sakura's conversation, Naruto's eyes were filled with worry.

Leaving Sakura here is too dangerous!

"Don't worry, Naruto!"

Sakura interrupted Naruto before he could finish speaking, comforting him, "I'll be alright!"

Compared to Naruto, Kakashi was much more at ease with Sakura.

Sakura is very smart; she knows how to be flexible and assess situations.

Keeping Sakura around might have some unexpected benefits.

"I believe Muzan won't kill me."

What truly put Naruto at ease was Sakura's words.

Naruto was equally certain that no matter what form Muzan took, he would never kill them.

This certainty came without any basis, but Naruto and his friends were able to be sure of it.

"Sakura, watch out!"

Kakashi gave a reminder.

Sakura nodded.

Kakashi glanced at Naruto, and the two exchanged a look before nodding. Their figures instantly transformed into shadows, disappearing from Sunagakure in a few leaps.

Sakura watched Muzan nervously, worried that he would stop Naruto and Kakashi, but Muzan did not.

Muzan stared in the direction Naruto and the others had left: "Trying to save Gaara? It's no use. I've already said, Gaara is dead."

Sakura believed Muzan's words.

Gaara may indeed be dead.

But she can't persuade Naruto to give up the mission just because Gaara is dead.

She knows Naruto too well.

Even Gaara's corpse, Naruto will bring it back.

No matter how dangerous the process may be, Naruto will not give up.

"If you promise me one thing, I will join the Eternal Bliss Cult."

After a long silence, Chiyo suddenly looked at Muzan and spoke.

"elder sister……"

Ebizo stared in shock at Chiyo beside him.

He looked behind him and saw that everyone in Sunagakure was staring at Chiyo with disgust and anger.

It's as if Chiyo is a traitor to Sunagakure.

Chiyo stood up straight, as if she hadn't noticed the stares.

She gazed intently at Muzan, awaiting his answer.

"What is it?"

Muzan had a guess in his mind.

"I must go and bring back Lord Kazekage's body."

Chiyo stared at Muzan, then scoffed, "Didn't you say Lord Kazekage was dead? I want to see him alive or dead! I'm bringing Lord Kazekage's body back! And once I bring it back, I'll join your Eternal Bliss Cult!"

Her gaze swept over the Uchiha ninjas surrounding her: "There are very few people in the ninja world who dare to oppose your Eternal Bliss Cult. You don't need to worry about me going to get reinforcements."

Wu Can laughed: "You misunderstood. Even if you brought reinforcements, his fate would be similar to yours."

Chiyo snorted coldly, offering no rebuttal.

Muzan's figure flashed and appeared in front of Chiyo.

Chiyo's pupils contracted.

Muzan's hand landed on her chest.

Chiyo's face paled.

【Ding! 】

[Scanning...]

[Conversion successful.]

[Chiyo Chakra Fragment x1 = Forbidden Technique: Reincarnation of the Living + 10000 min Sunlight + 100000 Chakra]

[Please strive to obtain more high-quality chakra fragments, host!]

Knowing that Chiyo had decided to trade her life for Gaara's, Muzan did not stop. He wanted to obtain all of Chiyo's ninjutsu before she died.

【Chiyo Chakra Fragment ×1 = Seal: Lion's Roar + 10000 min Sunlight + 100000 Chakra】

【Chiyo Chakra Fragment x1 = Puppet Technique: Machine Light Shield Seal + 10000 min Sunlight + 100000 Chakra】

……

Chiyo's face grew paler and paler.

She had very little chakra left.

If she continues to absorb it, she will die.

Seeing that Chiyo's life force was getting weaker and weaker, Muzan withdrew his hand.

"Go ahead."

Muzan spoke to Chiyo with leniency.

Chiyo glanced at Muzan, said nothing, and turned to walk towards the gate of Sunagakure.

Countless eyes followed her retreating figure.

His eyes held contempt, disdain, and disgust.

As these gazes fell upon her, Chiyo's figure gradually disappeared from everyone's sight.

Ebizo's eyes inexplicably reddened.

He didn't believe his sister would succumb to the Eternal Bliss Cult.

Watching his sister leave, he felt a sense of farewell forever.

"Muzan".

After Sakura and the others had all their wounds healed, she stepped forward and called out Muzan's name.

Muzan's gaze fell on her, waiting for her to speak.

"Can you let me treat Kankuro who has been poisoned?"

Sakura pleaded.

Muzan glanced at Kankuro, who was being carried on Maki's back.

Since he arrived in Sunagakure, Kankuro has never woken up, and the color of his lips has become increasingly dark.

Muzan certainly wouldn't let Kankuro die.

Although Kankuro no longer has high-quality rice, perhaps his future son or daughter will?

For the sake of sustainable development, it is necessary to keep Kankuro alive.

Seeing that Muzan did not respond for a long time, Sakura continued, "Muzan, if Kankuro dies, he will not be able to join the Eternal Bliss Cult. Don't you want everyone in Sunagakure to join the Eternal Bliss Cult?"

Muzan: "..."

He glanced at Sakura sideways.

Is Sakura treating him like a fool?
