Not to mention, Uchiha Sasuke is only at the three-tomoe level now.
Two years have passed, and Sasuke has become much more composed.
He's no longer as impulsive and prone to swearing as before.
“Okay, Brother Gumu, I recently discovered that combining Lightning Release with sword-drawing techniques produces a good effect.”
"Please take a look!!"
Uchiha Sasuke placed one hand on the long sword at his waist, and as chakra gathered in his hand, terrifying lightning instantly erupted from the sword.
In an instant, a flash of silver light appeared in the air.
As Uchiha Sasuke drew his sword.
"Shhh!!"
A sonic boom that tore through the air was followed by a streak of lightning that roared into the distance.
"boom!!"
The lightning blade struck a massive tree trunk, easily cleaving it in two.
And with its remaining force, it blasted a deep trench into the ground.
"Well, it's really good."
Gu Mu nodded. This kind of tactic, which takes people by surprise and exploits information gaps, is still somewhat effective.
Upon seeing Koki's approval, Sasuke Uchiha's lips curled into a rare smile.
But soon, this upward angle disappeared.
Instead, Sasuke Uchiha's eyes were filled with ferocity.
(Damn itachi, wash your ass clean, I'm going to teach you a lesson, hahaha!!)
In reality, Sasuke Uchiha had no idea that his brother had spied on this place countless times over the past two years.
Unfortunately, every time I come here, I can sense that Sasuke is getting stronger.
In this way, Itachi Uchiha could be somewhat relieved, at least the two of them did not seem to have done anything to harm Sasuke.
......
Soon, about a week had passed.
After a long journey, Naruto finally crossed the Land of Rain and arrived at Konoha Village in the Land of Fire.
Upon seeing the familiar village, a rare smile appeared on Naruto's usually stern face.
Three years! That's a full three years.
Apart from Gu Mu, no one knew what kind of grueling training he had undergone.
Beneath those clothes, countless scars and remarkably well-developed muscles spoke volumes about just how difficult Naruto's three years of training had been.
He even nearly lost consciousness as the waterfall washed over him.
However, Naruto Uzumaki's sole desire to return to Konoha was what kept him going.
"Naruto Uzumaki!!"
"Quickly inform the village ninjas that Nine-Tails Naruto is approaching the village!!"
The guards stationed around Konoha Village were immediately alerted upon spotting Naruto Uzumaki.
Immediately, in a panic, he teleported into the village.
With a quick glance, Naruto Uzumaki easily sensed the people lurking in the shadows.
However, he ignored it.
He believes that he can still gain everyone's recognition today.
After all, he is now able to completely control the Nine-Tails.
(Kid, be careful, don't get tricked. Those ninjas are very malicious.)
Kurama reminded Naruto Uzumaki in his mind.
"Understood, Kurama."
Naruto Uzumaki nodded. He had learned the name of Kurama (the Nine-Tails) over the past three years, but even so, there was still some distance between them.
Soon, just as they were about to approach the gate.
Naruto Uzumaki saw countless Konoha ninjas standing guard at the village entrance, watching him with serious expressions.
"Are you Naruto Uzumaki, or the Nine-Tails?!"
Now, Tsunade, the Fifth Hokage of Konoha, wore a strange sadness on her face when she saw Naruto Uzumaki's taller figure.
Jiraiya went to search for the Akatsuki organization and Naruto Uzumaki, so he is not currently in the village.
"Grandma Tsunade, I am Naruto Uzumaki, the real Naruto Uzumaki."
Naruto Uzumaki looked at everyone's wary expressions and said in a rather helpless tone.
"Lord Hokage, this might be the Nine-Tails in disguise."
Kakashi Hatake, standing beside him, gave a solemn reminder.
He recalled that the previous Anbu members had been crushed to death by Naruto Uzumaki.
Uchiha Sasuke was so badly beaten by him that he became withdrawn on the spot.
"Naruto, are you willing to accept the seal?"
"If you haven't resisted during this time, we'll believe you haven't been possessed by the Nine-Tails."
Tsunade asked with an expectant look on her face.
It's important to understand that tailed beasts are extremely proud and would never willingly accept being sealed.
Moreover, the Nine-Tails is not weak, so if it wanted to attack Konoha, it would not have needed to disguise its identity.
Revealing their true forms directly would be enough to give Konoha Village a run for its money.
"Grandma Tsunade, I'm willing."
Naruto Uzumaki looked somewhat dejected, but he knew that this was the only way to prove himself.
Soon, Naruto Uzumaki was sealed by the sealing team and taken into the dungeon.
Naruto Uzumaki thought that they would release him after locking him up for a few days.
It wasn't until that night, when Naruto sensed a chilling killing intent, that he realized things might not be as simple as he thought.
"As expected, Brother Gu Mu was right. Strength is the only true measure of success."
"If I had displayed overwhelming power a few days ago, even if they were wary, I wouldn't be stuck in this dark dungeon."
Chapter 124 Naruto's heart is warmed; it turns out there are still people who care about me.
"That person must be Naruto Uzumaki, right?"
"Our goal is to assassinate him and extract the tailed beast from his body?"
"Yes, let's finish this quickly. The secret agents guarding the dungeon have already been replaced by us."
Nearly ten Root ninjas wearing striped masks looked at Naruto Uzumaki crouching in the damp dungeon and began issuing battle orders.
This assassination squad is arguably the strongest executioner team in the Root organization.
There are several Jonin alone.
"Click~"
As the dungeon door where Naruto was imprisoned opened, Naruto raised his blank face, his eyes filled with coldness.
"Who sent you?"
"Tsunade... Grandma Tsunade?"
Naruto Uzumaki looked up at the ten Root ninjas outside and felt their undisguised killing intent. His heart temperature began to drop rapidly.
"superior!!"
The elite members didn't waste any more words.
As an attack gesture was made, these roots transformed into afterimages, attacking Naruto Uzumaki.
They wield either long swords or shuriken, combined with ninjutsu attacks; each move is enough to kill.
"Bang bang bang!!"
All that could be heard were the sounds of flesh colliding in the air, and then the attacking secret agents were sent flying out of the dungeon.
He then slammed into the wall and lost consciousness.
Two of them lost their lives on the spot under Naruto Uzumaki's brutal attack.
"Huh? This young man is so amazing?"
"Help me! Help me!!"
