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

The mist and haze disappeared.

The true form of the crow's beak was finally revealed.

He stood opposite Sakumo Hatake.

He gripped the long sword with both hands.

As soon as he finished speaking, the blade in his hand burst forth with dazzling white-gold flames.

The extreme heat distorted space.

A massive crescent-shaped sword aura, burning with platinum sun flames, descended from the sky like a meteor, carrying a terrifying pressure capable of incinerating everything, and crashed towards Hatake Sakumo.

Sakumo Hatake's gaze was extremely serious.

There are always people more capable than you, and there's always something beyond your understanding!

Ding--

A crisp, shattering sound rang out.

The short sword in Sakumo Hatake's hand shattered inch by inch.

Countless wounds instantly appeared on his body.

"puff--"

It felt as if Sakumo Hatake's entire body had been sliced ​​open by sharp blades.

He spat out a mouthful of blood.

The body fell uncontrollably.

As if unwilling to admit defeat, Hatake Sakumo tried to stand up, but his body was already exhausted, and he could only kneel on one knee, barely supporting himself with his short sword.

His silver hair was disheveled, blood kept spilling from the corner of his mouth, and his body was covered with countless wounds.

The wound was charred black and turned outwards, and his chakra was disordered.

Sakumo Hatake's arm, gripping the hilt of the sword, trembled violently, and his thumb and forefinger split open.

The short knife in his hand had long since been reduced to fragments.

It seems that Sakumo Hatake's courage to wield a sword also vanished along with it.

Crowbeak slowly walked up to Sakumo Hatake.

The long sword in his hand pointed diagonally at the ground, its tip wreathed in a wisp of platinum sunfire.

The platinum flames slowly extinguished from the tip of his sword, and he sheathed it.

"You flatter me."

Ravenbeak's voice was calm, as if the fight with Hatake Sakumo just now was nothing more than a minor skirmish.

His breathing didn't even change much.

The stark contrast made Sakumo Hatake grit his teeth.

Who exactly are you?

Sakumo Hatake slowly raised his head and wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth.

Its sharp, eagle-like eyes stared intently at the crow's beak.

Why is there no record of such a powerful ninja in the ninja world?

This is impossible!

If this person is an enemy of Konoha...

Sakumo Hatake was filled with worry, and he wished he could tell the Hokage this information immediately.

"who am I?"

Ravenbeak shook his head at him: "My name is not important. You only need to know about the Eternal Bliss Sect."

"The Eternal Bliss Cult?"

Sakumo Hatake read out the name: "You are a member of the Eternal Paradise Cult?"

The crow's beak did not speak.

He reached out his hand to Sakumo Hatake.

The whip pierced through Hatake Sakumo's body.

Hatake Sakumo was instantly jolted, his muscles tensed, and a feeling of soreness swept over his entire body in an instant.

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

Crow's Beak guessed correctly.

As expected, there were high-quality chakra fragments on Sakumo Hatake's body.

He crouched down and placed his hand over Sakumo Hatake's wound.

The gruesome wound slowly healed.

Chapter 517 Preparations Before the Fourth War!!

"I just wanted to test your strength, I didn't mean to kill you."

After all of Hatake Sakumo's wounds had healed, Crowbeak stood up and said to Hatake Sakumo.

Sakumo Hatake clenched his fist, but felt no pain whatsoever.

His injuries were indeed healed by the person in front of him.

Sakumo Hatake slowly stood up, looking at the unfamiliar ninja in front of him, his wariness lessening somewhat.

The crow's beak travels through different time periods with only one purpose: to eat.

Aside from meals, it's best to minimize contact with people during this time period.

"I'm leaving now. See you again someday."

Crowbeak nodded politely to Hatake Sakumo and turned to leave.

Sakumo Hatake watched his retreating figure, his brows furrowing deeply.

Was it merely to test his strength?

What exactly is the Eternal Bliss Sect?

"Hey, wait a minute!"

The crow's beak retreated, returning to the front of Hatake Sakumo.

Sakumo Hatake's muscles tensed instantly.

With a sincere expression, Crowbeak asked, "Is Kato Dan... still alive?"

Sakumo Hatake was taken aback, and he slowly shook his head.

Crowbeak sighed in disappointment.

"You know Kato-senpai?"

"I asked Hatake Sakumo."

Crow's Beak searches through Kato's memories of the plot.

It seems that Kato Dan did indeed die quite young?

He probably died during the Second Shinobi World War.

Crowbeak did not answer Hatake Sakumo's question, and his figure disappeared in front of Hatake Sakumo.

Sakumo Hatake stared in shock at the empty forest before him.

It's a space-time ninjutsu!

Crowbeak returned to the battlefield where it had previously landed.

At this point, who hasn't consumed any of their chakra?

Hiruzen Sarutobi is probably still in power in Konoha right now.

What about the other ninja villages?

Crow Beak clapped his hands together.

Yup!

He could go and consume the chakra of powerful ninjas from other villages!

Including the Third Kazekage, the Third Mizukage, and the Third Raikage!

At this point, none of them had abdicated yet!

Crowbeak immediately headed towards Sunagakure in the Land of Wind.

Perhaps the Third Kazekage, the Third Mizukage, and the Third Raikage all possess high-quality chakra fragments!

Eating it is like winning the lottery!

Crowbeak grinned from ear to ear. The Fourth Shinobi World War was fast approaching, and he needed to make more preparations!

The annoyance of not being able to absorb Kato Dan's chakra vanished instantly.

……

Moonlight shone on the rows of earthen-yellow buildings in Sunagakure.

The air was dry and cold, carrying the deathly stillness unique to desert nights.

The villagers of Sunagakure had fallen into a deep sleep, but the Kazekage's office remained brightly lit.

The Third Kazekage sat upright in his chair, looking at the battle report in his hand, his brows furrowed.

The support troops sent out a few days ago have disappeared without a trace, including even Elder Chiyo's son and daughter-in-law.

They are all elite Jonin from Sunagakure!

A dark figure appeared in the Wind Shadow's office.

The Third Kazekage frowned and looked behind him.

Someone actually dared to assassinate him?

"Humph."

The Third Kazekage let out a cold snort.

A crisp metallic clanging sound rang out in the silent night sky.

The iron sand needles that flew from the Third Kazekage's hand were deeply embedded in the wall of the Kazekage's office.

The Third Kazekage slightly raised his right hand, palm facing the crow's beak.

Countless tiny, black iron sands, gleaming with a cold metallic light, floated in the air.

The iron sand surged up like a black tide, instantly condensing into a huge, ferocious iron sand fist. With a terrifying power to crush everything, it tore through the air and crashed down towards Raven's Beak.
