"Renya, that Sasuke seems to be here to cause trouble for you, right?"
After Retsufū completely disappeared from sight, Shimura Danzō finally voiced his guess.
The look of someone who wants to fight cannot be concealed.
The moment he saw Sasuke, he knew the other party had ill intentions.
There was no need to guess—he had clearly come for revenge.
He and Renya had traveled through time several times, encountering Uchiha Sasuke twice.
Once during the Five Kage Summit period, and once during the Ninja World War.
As for which one it was, that was unclear.
Normally, it should be the one from the Five Kage Summit period who got beaten badly and came back for revenge.
"I know." Renya yawned again. "So I sent him away."
At first, he wasn't certain, but he figured it out through Retsufū's description.
Fortunately, he had the foresight to bring up Ōtsutsuki Urashiki and drove the guy away in advance.
He really didn't expect that guy to hold grudges so much.
It had been so many years, yet he still remembered.
His personality was probably as scheming as his own…
Renya was already thinking about how to trick him into leaving.
Fighting was out of the question—why fight when he was already lying flat?
Better to lie down and sunbathe with that time.
Right, he could let his father come help.
Call Uchiha Fugaku back—there's no way Sasuke would fight him in front of his future father, right?
Hehe, he was simply a genius!
In front of him, Uchiha Sasuke was as immature as a child.
Shimura Danzō: "…"
Everything was fine, so why did he suddenly start grinning foolishly again?
Looks like his good friend really got confused from too much sleep.
...
Hokage's Office.
"You want to check Uchiha Fugaku's mission records?"
Hiruzen couldn't understand why Renya suddenly became interested in members of the Uchiha clan.
Could it be… he wanted to acknowledge his ancestry and return to his roots?!
Tobirama-sensei probably wouldn't agree, right?!
"Yes, I want to see roughly when he'll be back."
Renya hoped Fugaku would return soon. Otherwise, once Sasuke dealt with Urashiki—or failed to find him—he would come looking for trouble.
That arrogant brat was really troublesome. Just one beating, and he remembered it for so long.
Better not provoke people like that in the future.
"Uchiha Fugaku accepted an A-rank mission seven days ago. He should be on his way back now."
Hiruzen said as he took out the mission dossier.
"He's almost back?" Renya was satisfied now. "Then I'm relieved."
"When he returns, have him come to Danzō's house to find me."
Ninjas who complete A-rank or higher missions must report back to the Hokage.
It was only because the village had developed better now.
Otherwise, after graduating, Uchiha ninjas would hardly have any chance to take missions and would directly enter the Uchiha Police Force.
After all, the Uchiha were just one clan, and the number of members who could become ninjas was limited.
Unless it was wartime, they could only stay in the village.
It was considered one of Senju Tobirama's methods of monitoring the Uchiha.
Hiruzen watched Renya leave and couldn't help muttering softly, "This guy doesn't even go home anymore…"
Telling Fugaku to go to Danzō's house to find him.
This was getting more and more outrageous.
Had the two of them already reached the point of living together?
Hiruzen lightly tapped the table with his fingers. After a moment of silence, he spoke to the ANBU hidden in the shadows.
"Call Koharu Utatane here."
"Yes, Hokage-sama!"
Soon, Koharu Utatane pushed the door open and entered the office.
"Hiruzen, what do you need from me?"
"Koharu, did you know that Renya and Danzō are living together?"
Koharu Utatane: "!!!"
...
Inside a cave somewhere in the ninja world.
Ōtsutsuki Urashiki sat on a wooden bed that seemed to have existed who knows since when, wearing a look of relief after surviving a disaster.
The powerful recovery ability of the Ōtsutsuki clan had already completely healed his previous fatal injuries.
"Damn it, why does such a powerful guy exist?!"
Not only was his strength terrifying, but he also knew Urashiki's abilities.
This made it impossible for him to utilize his advantages in battle, and he was defeated in a short time.
If he hadn't escaped in time, he might have died there.
Terrifying. This spacetime was truly terrifying.
Black Zetsu hung from the fishing rod, remaining silent the whole time.
It felt great regret that Urashiki had not been killed by Madara.
As long as this guy didn't die, it would never have freedom.
Who knows—it might even be killed…
If that happened, there would be no one left to save its sealed mother.
No, it absolutely couldn't die here!
Absolutely not!
Black Zetsu began planning how to trick Urashiki into going to his death.
This guy's intelligence wasn't very high—maybe there was really a chance!
"This spacetime is too dangerous. I'm going to switch to another one."
Ōtsutsuki Urashiki stood up excitedly, already prepared to completely run away.
With the Dragon Vein, there was no need to stubbornly stay in this spacetime.
Finding another spacetime full of low-level creatures to collect Tailed Beasts would work just the same.
Seeing this, Black Zetsu immediately became anxious.
Urashiki couldn't leave this spacetime—otherwise, where would it find someone to kill him?
"No!"
"What do you mean?" Urashiki narrowed his eyes, his voice cold. "You won't let me leave?"
Now that he knew the Dragon Vein could traverse spacetime, Kaguya's will had no more value.
People of the ninja world couldn't destroy Black Zetsu, but that didn't mean extraterrestrials couldn't.
At this moment, Black Zetsu was restrained. Urashiki only needed to use Yomotsu Hirasaka to banish it into another dimension.
Seeing Urashiki's expression, Black Zetsu knew disaster was imminent.
It began thinking rapidly about how to resolve the situation.
At that moment, faint footsteps came from outside.
Ōtsutsuki Urashiki's ears twitched. He ignored Black Zetsu and looked toward the cave entrance.
Two figures, one big and one small, quickly appeared.
"Urashiki, so you really are hiding here."
Uchiha Sasuke chuckled lightly. He didn't expect such a coincidence—that this guy had also come to this spacetime.
"You actually followed me here."
Urashiki was somewhat surprised, but he didn't show any fear.
This guy was troublesome, but not his opponent!
As a noble member of the Ōtsutsuki clan, dealing with two low-level creatures should be effortless.
He might not be able to defeat Uchiha Madara, but could he not handle Uchiha Sasuke and a little brat?
In fact, that was the case.
One-armed Sasuke's strength had dropped significantly. Relying on Amenotejikara, he could only stall Urashiki and found it difficult to kill him.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have let him escape so many times.
Urashiki possessed various powerful abilities, but lacked combat experience and strong finishing power.
Overall, the latter still had the advantage.
A smug expression returned to Urashiki's face.
"You came all this way… just to die?"
Having lost to Uchiha Madara and bottled up frustration, he could vent it by defeating the two of them.
Seeing this, Black Zetsu couldn't help but sigh in relief.
Once they started fighting and Urashiki's chakra was consumed, making it unable to maintain the restraint, it could escape amidst the chaos.
