Kankuro: "Yeah, I almost forgot... they're preparing to launch a surprise attack on Kusagakure."
Temari: "White Zetsu... truly ridiculous."
Mei Terumī: "Black-framed Naruto-kun should have snapped out of it by now. Kusagakure... is about to become history."
Kurotsuchi: "Wiping out Kusagakure in a single night?"
Kurotsuchi: "I'm afraid there's going to be a 'great earthquake' in the black frame world tomorrow."
Fourth Raikage: "The Land of Earth and the Land of Wind are definitely going to go crazy."
Ōnoki: "Nonsense!"
Samui: "It's only targeting Kusagakure... not the Land of Grass, but without Kusagakure... I'm afraid the Land of Grass is going to have a hard time."
Mabui: "Did you forget? There's also Uchiha Izumi. How will the Land of Waves be handled?"
Mabui: "And... most importantly, Black-framed Naruto-kun still has methods like the New Shinobi Sect."
'Fu' (Land of Waterfall · Takigakure · Seven-Tails Jinchuriki): "This is bad!"
Fu: "If that's the case... whether it's the Land of Rain or the Land of Waterfall that Black-framed Naruto-kun was interested in before..."
Fu: "Black-framed Naruto-kun can suddenly reach the Land of Waterfall and the Land of Rain through the Land of Grass. If he even cultivates his own White Zetsu... he could even infiltrate the Land of Earth!"
Fu: "Do you think... Black-framed Naruto-kun will find out about me later... and just kidnap me, taking me back to help him revive the Uzumaki?"
Fu: "By getting me... he could not only easily take down Takigakure, but also get 'Chomei' inside me!"
Fu: "No... kidnapped... even if the 'me' in this world is willing, the 'me' in that world definitely wouldn't be if she didn't know the truth!"
Fu: "Besides... if even I get charmed by Black-framed Naruto-kun, then Big Brother and the Village..."
At this moment, within Takigakure in the Land of Waterfall.
A girl with short blue-green hair, healthy wheat-colored skin, and a figure that didn't lose to Ino at all, looked at the black-framed large screen with a conflicted expression.
Sometimes she jumped with excitement, sometimes she was filled with worry.
Every move she made was full of the scent of youth.
And Fu's speech left everyone stunned.
On one hand, they were somewhat taken aback by this young girl.
On the other hand... the Land of Waterfall · Takigakure.
This was no small fry!
Their Village's Seven-Tails (Chomei) was something they had snatched away from the competition of the other Four Great Shinobi Villages during the first Five Kage Summit back then.
This alone was enough to prove Takigakure's extraordinariness.
Moreover, there were rumors that Takigakure was extremely good at producing Jonin.
Even the Five Great Ninja Villages didn't refute it.
At the same time.
At the border of the Land of Fire.
Kakuzu, who, just like in the black frame world, had taken an interest in the 35 million head bounty.
After hearing Fu's words, his footsteps paused.
Indeed, Kakuzu was a Takigakure Ninja.
Well... back then, the higher-ups of Takigakure were quite bold and their strength wasn't bad... they even dared to send someone to assassinate the god of shinobi, Senju Hashirama.
Immediately, Kakuzu's memories began to unfold.
Back then, he had indeed fought the god of shinobi... and returned to the Village wounded!
But some damn fellow.
Actually spread a rumor that he had thrown two Kunai at Senju Hashirama's Wood Release: Wood Clone from 800 miles away, and was then chased for three days and nights by the Wood Clone... leading to his imprisonment... This was what caused Kakuzu to rebel, steal the Secret Technique Earth Grudge Fear, slaughter those cancerous higher-ups of Takigakure, and defect after replenishing his hearts.
["Naruto?"]
[Kushina called out softly.]
[Naruto snapped out of it.]
[Only then did he remember there was still business to attend to.]
[Looking down at Kusagakure, where the alarms were already blaring.]
[He withdrew his thoughts.]
["Mom, you protect Karin."]
[With that, Naruto formed a seal with one hand.]
[Kaka—]
[Immediately after, several Wood Clones appeared on the tree trunks around Kusagakure.]
["Let's begin."]
[As the words fell.]
[Naruto disappeared from the spot.]
[At the same time.]
[In the four directions of north, south, east, and west of Kusagakure, a blood-red, transparent, flame-like rectangular Barrier expanded.]
[Four Red Yang Formation.]
"What?!"
"This is a Barrier that requires four Kage-level experts to activate... Black-Framed Naruto can actually activate it alone?!"
"A Barrier dozens of times stronger than the Four Violet Flames Formation..."
"How terrifying... it seems Kusagakure is really finished!"
[Rumble—!!!]
[The moment the Four Red Yang Formation appeared.]
[Kusagakure also sounded its alarms.]
[But, it was all too late.]
[When they rushed out of the meeting room.]
[That black flash was like a reaper's scythe, continuously harvesting their lives.]
["What's going on?!"]
["Damn it... the Four Red Yang Formation?!"]
["It couldn't be a genjutsu, could it?"]
["A Barrier that requires four Kage-level experts to activate... is actually being used against our Kusagakure?"]
["What... what have we done to deserve this?!"]
[The Ninjas of Kusagakure showed expressions of despair upon seeing the Four Red Yang Formation.]
[If four Kage-level experts are used just to activate the Four Red Yang Formation, then... how strong must the main attacker be?]
[This truly cut off any path of escape. These Kusagakure Ninjas, who made a living by selling information without any bottom line, were all extremely selfish.]
[But right now, they could only unite.]
[What was terrifying was.]
[They discovered... that the Ninja currently harvesting the lives of countless fellow villagers like a reaper's scythe was actually the Fourth Hokage, the yellow flash, from back then!]
[This once made them think it was some kind of large-scale genjutsu that everyone had fallen for.]
[According to everyone's intel, Konoha's Fourth Hokage, the yellow flash, had died long ago during the night of Konoha's Nine-Tails Rampage.]
[And...]
["What are these?!"]
["Damn it!"]
["Who is it?!"]
["Who offended some organization while selling intel?!"]
["Could it be those Rogue Ninja organizations from the Land of Rain?!"]
["No!"]
["This symbol... I remember it!"]
["Land of Whirlpools... Uzushiogakure... Uzumaki Clan!"]
["What?!"]
["Isn't the Uzumaki Clan long dead?!"]
["In the intel I have... besides that mother and daughter in our Village, there seem to be no traces of the Uzumaki Clan anywhere in the Ninja World!"]
["Even if there were, that was over a decade ago. After the Land of Whirlpools was destroyed, those Uzumaki people didn't have it easy!"]
["..."]
[At this moment, an inexplicable fear spread to everyone's heart.]
["This is bad!"]
["I said it long ago... we shouldn't have treated that mother and daughter like that!"]
["Now the Uzumaki people have come for revenge!"]
["The wife of Konoha's Fourth Hokage, the yellow flash... was one of the survivors of the Uzumaki Clan!"]
["That's impossible! Absolutely impossible!"]
["They should have been dead long ago!"]
[Boom—]
[In the next instant.]
[Golden chains radiating golden light appeared.]
[Appearing along with them were wooden spikes continuously emerging from the ground.]
[Screams, shouts, and cries for help were heard incessantly.]
[The entire Kusagakure was in chaos.]
[Many Ninjas were scared witless, constantly muttering that they shouldn't have treated the mother and daughter, Uzumaki Karin and Uzumaki Mina, that way all these years.]
[In addition, many Kusagakure Ninjas were affected and knelt one after another to beg forgiveness from the Ninjas, organizations, and small hidden Villages they had betrayed or who had died indirectly because of their intel sales... the words of repentance they spoke could make even the most cold-blooded Ninjas tremble.]
They deserve to die!
Many people throughout the Ninja World cheered.
It was clear that these Kusa Ninjas were truly on the same level as the darkness of konoha, the Pot Kage, Danzo Shimura.
[Naruto made his move.]
