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

Rei Amamiya said to Sakura, "Sakura, you did an excellent job on this mission!"

Two blushes appeared on Sakura's fair cheeks.

"Thank you, Lord Hokage!"

"I will continue to work hard!"

Rei Amamiya nodded with satisfaction.

Because Sakura doesn't have any special abilities, he has focused on having Tsunade improve Sakura's strength over the years.

Sakura, like Naruto and Sasuke, is his food. How could he bear to let the quality of Sakura's food be so much lower than that of Naruto and Sasuke?

"You've come at the right time. The intelligence ninjas have sent news about Sasuke."

"That's what Rei Amamiya said."

Naruto's eyes suddenly flashed with a sharp light.

Sakura's breathing also changed.

Kakashi stood calmly to the side; he already knew about this news.

The reason he appeared in the Hokage's office was because Rei Amamiya had given them a new mission.

"Ten days later, Orochimaru's subordinate Kabuto Yakushi will meet with Sasori at Tenchi Bridge."

As soon as Rei Amamiya finished speaking, Naruto immediately asked in confusion, "But isn't Sasori already dead?"

Rei Amamiya nodded: "It is precisely because Sasori is dead that you can impersonate Sasori and go to capture Kabuto Yakushi."

Kabuto Yakushi was Orochimaru's confidant, so he must have known Orochimaru and Sasuke's location.

Naruto immediately realized what was going on: "Then let's set off now!"

He turned and rushed toward the door, but Kakashi grabbed him by the collar and pulled him back.

Why would Kabuto Yakushi meet with Sasori?

Sakura asked in confusion.

She was worried that the intelligence was wrong.

"Kabuto Yakushi is skilled in espionage; he used to be Sasori's man."

"That's what Rei Amamiya said."

"There are only three of you left in the Seventh Squad. I've decided to send someone to temporarily join the Seventh Squad and carry out the mission with you."

Chapter 500 No one can resist God!!!

"what!"

Naruto exclaimed in surprise.

"do not want!"

He looked utterly rejected.

Sakura looked at the Hokage without saying a word, her eyes filled with a thoughtful expression.

"Naruto, Team 7 is too small. We need four people to carry out a mission."

Rei Amamiya emphasized.

"The three of us can do it too!"

Naruto said hurriedly.

He looked at Sakura and Kakashi-sensei, as if seeking confirmation, and said, "Right? Sakura? Kakashi-sensei?"

Sakura didn't say anything.

Kakashi also remained silent.

"Naruto, the mission you are undertaking is quite difficult; you will need four people."

"That's what Rei Amamiya said without a doubt."

Naruto gritted his teeth: "But Sasuke and Muzan will come back!"

He didn't want anyone else to take Sasuke and Muzan's place!

Muzan and Sasuke will always be members of Team 7!

Rei Amamiya nodded: "I know, I know Muzan and Sasuke will come back. I just had someone temporarily join your Team 7 to assist you in completing your mission."

If they didn't agree, it would seem like Naruto was being unreasonable.

Naruto knew this too.

He can't act recklessly in front of his sister just because she's the Hokage.

Naruto pursed his lips, turned his face away, and refused to speak.

"Sai, come in."

Rei Amamiya called out towards the door.

Footsteps came from outside the door, and an unfamiliar figure appeared in the Hokage's office.

Sai stopped beside Naruto and Sakura, and bowed respectfully to Rei Amamiya: "Greetings, Hokage-sama."

The moment Sakura saw Sai, she frowned deeply.

This person looks so much like Sasuke.

Even the name...

Sakura frowned even more as she thought of the name the Hokage had just called out.

"Sai, starting today, you will temporarily join Team 7 and carry out missions with the members of Team 7."

"Rei Amamiya gave the order."

"Yes."

Sai nodded.

He turned to Naruto and Sakura and gave them a fake smile: "Naruto Uzumaki, Sakura Haruno, hello, I'm Sai, nice to meet you."

His smile made Naruto uncomfortable.

Naruto snorted coldly.

Sakura returned Sai's smile: "Nice to meet you, Sai."

"Let's go."

Kakashi, who had been silent all along, finally spoke.

Kakashi turned and left, with Naruto and Sakura following behind him. Sai watched their backs and then followed.

"Let me tell you! You're only temporarily joining. Don't think you can replace Muzan and Sasuke!"

On the way to the main gate of Konoha, Naruto said to Sai beside him with dissatisfaction.

"Naruto."

Sakura shook her head at Naruto in disapproval.

Even if Naruto doesn't like Sai, he shouldn't target Sai like this.

Sai's smile remained unchanged. He listened to Naruto's words, a hint of doubt in his voice: "Sasuke? Muzan?"

As if remembering something, he stared at Naruto and said with a smile, "Are you talking about the rogue ninja who left Konoha with Orochimaru and the traitors who joined the Eternal Bliss Cult?"

Upon hearing Sai's words, Kakashi and the other two stopped in their tracks.

"What did you say, you bastard!"

Naruto suddenly grabbed Sai by the collar, his eyes blazing with fury.

"Naruto."

Sakura calmly pulled Naruto away.

Naruto stared at Sakura in disbelief.

Could Sakura just stand by and watch this person insult Muzan and Sasuke?

next second.

bang——

Sai's body fell heavily to the ground.

He braced himself with his hands and looked at the calm Sakura with some surprise.

He touched the stinging corner of his mouth.

Are you angry?

Sai asked curiously.

"That's amazing!"

Sai looked at Sakura's face and said, "You're clearly angry, but I can't tell from your face."

Sakura ignored Sai's nonsense and warned, "Muzan and Sasuke are our cherished teammates in Team 7. If you dare to speak disrespectfully to them again, I will beat you up."

Kakashi witnessed all of this and helplessly reminded him, "We only have ten days. Don't waste time on things outside of the mission."

Sai glanced at Kakashi.

This person...

When Sakura hit him, the man didn't say anything or stop her.

Instead, he only used the mission as a reminder after Sakura hit him.

Sai stood up from the ground.

His gaze swept over the three people in front of him.

Although the three didn't show it very obviously, he still sensed their rejection of him.

Sai's eyes curved into a smile.

That's quite a coincidence; he also dislikes those three people.

……

The sky over Amegakure is always covered by thick, leaden-gray cumulonimbus clouds.

It was as if the sky itself was weeping for this land.

The cold rain fell endlessly.

The entire Rain Village was shrouded in a hazy mist.

The village is filled with dense, towering steel pipes and giant cylindrical buildings.

The central tower is located at the very center of the entire Rain Village.

It is taller than all the buildings in Rain Village.

The spire of the Eiffel Tower pierced the clouds.

Overlooking the entire weeping village.

The rooftop extending from the top of the tower has no railings. When Rinzo stands here, there is a bottomless abyss below, and all around him is an endless curtain of rain and a tiny steel jungle below that looks like an anthill.

Standing too high will lead one to consider oneself a god.

Rin glanced at someone beside him.

That's right, he was talking about Nagato.

The Heavenly Dao stood beside him, expressionless, its Rinnegan eyes gleaming with a cold, inorganic light.

Like a machine without emotions.

"The five great ninja villages have formed an alliance."

The Way of Heaven said.
