Tobirama's pupils contracted sharply.

This ninja is incredibly strong!

There are such powerful ninjas in the ninja world?

Why have I never heard of him before?

"elder brother!"

Silver Horn, with its thick skin and tough flesh, broke free from the stone wall and saw Golden Horn pinned to the ground. Enraged, its hair stood on end and its eyes gleamed red.

Blood-red tailed beast chakra covered his body.

His figure transformed into a streak of blood-red lightning, arriving before Ravenbeak in the blink of an eye.

bang——

Silver Horn's body slammed heavily onto the ground.

It smashed a deep crater in the ground.

Silver Horn felt dizzy and didn't even know what was happening.

The black shadows bound Silverhorn tightly to the ground.

Silver Horn struggled to reach out, but his palm was instantly pierced by a black shadow and pinned to the ground.

"Ah ah ah ah ah ah!"

Silver Horn let out a piercing scream.

The Cloud Village ninja stood frozen in shock at the scene before him.

Lord Golden Horn and Lord Silver Horn were defeated so easily?

Crowbeak stared at the treasures in Golden Horn and Silver Horn's hands.

The golden rope, the seven-star sword, the red gourd, the banana leaf fan, and the amber vase are all good things.

"That's mine..."

Silverhorn stared wide-eyed as the unfamiliar ninja sealed the treasure and put it into his own ninja tool pouch.

Silver Horn's heart is bleeding.

"yours?"

Crowbeak patted his bulging ninja tool pouch. "What I say is mine, is mine."

Chapter 523 Update!

"Naruto, don't worry, Sasuke has already taken his revenge. He will return to Konoha after he comes to his senses."

Hinata comforted her softly.

Her eyes, radiating a pale purple light, were filled with worry for Naruto.

Seeing Naruto in such pain, Hinata felt just as distressed.

Naruto didn't take Hinata's words to heart at all; he nodded absentmindedly.

The thought of Sasuke, who had disappeared without a trace, made Naruto feel as if he were being stabbed with needles.

When he thought of Sasuke, he couldn't help but think of Itachi Uchiha.

On their journey to find Sasuke, they encountered Itachi Uchiha and even fought with him.

Naruto touched his throat.

At the time, while he was in the illusion, he didn't know what Itachi Uchiha had made him swallow.

"and many more."

Hinata, who was staring straight ahead, suddenly spoke up to remind him.

Kakashi paused, and they stopped on the tree branch, looking at Hinata at the same time.

"what happened?"

Kakashi asked.

Hinata stared ahead in surprise, her lips slightly parted: "Muzan, Muzan is up ahead..."

"what!"

Naruto immediately seemed to be injected with a dose of adrenaline; his eyes shone brightly, and without the slightest hesitation, he charged forward.

"Naruto!"

Hinata chased after Naruto without a second thought.

Watching their retreating figures, Kiba Inuzuka sighed and rubbed his forehead, "Naruto, really! He's so impulsive!"

Even so, they still followed behind Naruto.

They were worried about having Naruto and Hinata face off against Muzan.

When Kakashi and the others arrived, they found Muzan sitting lazily on a rock.

It looks like they're waiting for them to arrive.

"Muzan? What are you doing here? Where's Sasuke?"

Kakashi asked calmly.

Naruto stared intently at Muzan, waiting for his answer.

"Sasuke has been taken away."

No sooner had Muzan finished speaking than Naruto immediately pressed, "Who? Who took Sasuke away? Muzan, weren't you with Sasuke?"

Seeing the anxiety on Naruto's face, Muzan slowly said, "The person who took Sasuke away must be from the Akatsuki organization..."

"what!"

Before Muzan could finish speaking, Naruto interrupted, "How could Sasuke go with the Akatsuki? The Akatsuki definitely have ulterior motives!"

"I don't know if the Akatsuki members have ulterior motives, but I have learned about an old story."

Muzan rested his chin on his hand and looked at Kakashi: "Do you want to hear this?"

"What is it?"

Naruto looked at Muzan blankly, not understanding why Muzan would suddenly bring up something completely unrelated at this moment.

"Things related to Itachi Uchiha's massacre of his clan."

Muzan's words successfully piqued Naruto's curiosity.

Upon hearing Muzan's words, Kakashi's heart skipped a beat. Looking at Muzan's smile, he immediately had a bad feeling.

"Speaking of which, it seems Sasuke took revenge on the wrong person."

Muzan shook his head regretfully.

Naruto and Sakura were practically frozen in place.

"Muzan, what exactly do you mean? Explain yourself!"

Naruto shouted at Muzan.

"Back then, it was the village's higher-ups who gave Itachi Uchiha an S-rank secret mission to exterminate the Uchiha clan."

Muzan stared at Kakashi and said.

Kakashi's pupils contracted, and a storm raged in his heart.

He had always harbored doubts about Itachi Uchiha's massacre of his clan.

And now, Muzan's words almost confirmed his long-held suspicions.

Kakashi, however, felt no joy; only worry remained.

Zero worries.

"impossible!"

"Muzan!"

"What nonsense are you spouting!"

Naruto yelled at Muzan, "You mean my sister did it? Don't talk nonsense!"

The veins on Muzan's forehead twitched.

How could Naruto be so stupid?

"When the Uchiha clan and the village had a falling out, the higher-ups, represented by the Third Hokage Hiruzen Sarutobi, were worried that the Uchiha clan would launch a coup, causing internal strife in Konoha. So they sent Itachi Uchiha to carry out the secret mission of annihilating the Uchiha clan."

"Do you understand this explanation?"

Muzan stared at Naruto and spoke each word clearly.

Naruto's pupils contracted: "How is this possible? How is this possible? Why would he do this?"

“If Itachi Uchiha doesn’t carry out this secret mission, then the village and the Uchiha clan will inevitably clash sooner or later. At that time, not a single member of the Uchiha clan may survive. But by taking on this mission, he can save Sasuke’s life.”

Muzan answers Naruto's question.

All around was quiet.

You could almost hear Kakashi and his group's breathing suddenly become rapid.

Muzan's gaze swept over them one by one.

Sakura looked shocked, her eyes filled with heartache and fear for Sasuke.

If Sasuke knew the truth about Itachi, what would Sasuke do?

Sakura's heart sank lower and lower.

Kiba and the others were so shocked by the sheer volume of information that they were speechless.

They stared at Muzan in disbelief.

"I joined the Akatsuki organization to gather intelligence for the village."

Muzan pointed at Naruto's stomach: "Didn't he tell us directly back then that the Akatsuki wanted to capture the Tailed Beasts?"

Naruto was completely stunned.

The scene that had happened at the Tanabata Street Inn flashed through his mind.

Muzan was right; Itachi Uchiha easily revealed their purpose back then.

Naruto's pupils trembled.

Muzan then revealed another old story: "Uchiha Shisui did not die at the hands of Uchiha Itachi."

Naruto and the others were no longer able to make a sound.

His brain was overloaded and unable to function, so he was forced to receive the information transmitted by Muzan.

"Uchiha Shisui possessed the Mangekyou Sharingan, which could rewrite a person's will. He originally intended to use the Sharingan's abilities to stop the Uchiha clan's coup, but Konoha elder Danzo did not trust anyone from the Uchiha clan."

"Then, he devised a plan to steal Uchiha Shisui's Mangekyou Sharingan."

"Having lost his power, Uchiha Shisui entrusted the task of quelling the Uchiha clan coup to Uchiha Itachi. In order to prevent internal strife in the village, he chose to commit suicide."

"You all know that Uchiha Shisui and the Uchiha clan ninjas who died were later resurrected by the God of Bliss."

"Don't doubt the authenticity of my information."

Muzan looked at Kakashi and his group, whose faces were filled with disbelief, and said, "You can go ask Danzo; he's not dead yet."
