Sixteen Years Old, The Fourth Generation of Mizukage

"What!? You have already captured Ichiki!? In such a short time!?"

Returning to the satellite fortress suspended above the Land of Rain, Uchiha Sasuke, who had just received a prosthetic hand transplant and was still adapting to the increase brought to him by the new arm jointly prepared by Orochimaru and Yakushi Kabuto, was wide-eyed. With his eyes, he asked a question that was almost the same as Uzumaki Naruto's question back then.

"Don't look so surprised, Sasuke-kun."

Kaguya Rei used the perspective of the reincarnation eye to observe the chakra that Sasuke Uchiha was rapidly transforming and improving in his body after he obtained a prosthetic hand made from the cells of Senju Hashirama and Uzumaki Kushina. While joking:

"Compared to Naruto Uzumaki, who is the weakest person, as a top student in the ninja school and a top student trained by Orochimaru himself, you should know very well how much influence intelligence has on the outcome of battles among ninjas..."

"No matter how important the information is, it can only be effective when the strength of the two sides is almost the same..." Uchiha Sasuke still had an unbelievable solemn expression on his face, "In this era, the body and the In terms of lifespan, it should be much lighter than that of our time, and there would be less scruples about going all out..."

"No matter how small his problems are, it does not affect the fact that he is a guy who will be defeated by the two of you who have stopped moving forward and can no longer even use the power of the Six Paths."

Kaguya Rei interrupted Uchiha Sasuke's speech which was not positive and optimistic at all, and asked with cold eyes:

"Don't you think that Uzumaki Naruto's bullshit heavy particle mode that can only be activated by burning life can be stronger than the Six Paths mode that the old man of Six Paths opened for him? You can't use the Dao Jade, and the other eight tailed beasts The power cannot be used, just because you have burned your lifespan, so it is stronger than the six-path mode that greatly enhances all abilities in all directions?"

"Well, in terms of short-term bursts, it may, indeed, be a little stronger than the Six Paths mode?" Uzumaki Naruto awkwardly crossed his fingers, hoping that Kaguya Rei would not speak so sharply.

"Then why don't you be more straightforward and imitate the father and son of Matt, Dai, Metkai, etc., and just open all eight gates of Dunjia?"

Kaguya Rei glared at Uzumaki Naruto who was choked, and continued angrily:

"Metkai has no chance of winning in a one-on-one challenge with the Nine-Tails when the seven gates are in place, but after all eight gates are opened, he can cause near-fatal damage to Uchiha Madara, who is already the Ten-Tails Jinchuuriki. This improvement is no greater than yours. Is the particle mode more exaggerated and outrageous?

It's all life-consuming anyway, and Eight Gate Dungeon does not require the chakra of the tailed beast to join in. For you, the successor of the Immortal Body and the seventh generation Hokage, there is no threshold that cannot be crossed to practice Eight Gate Dungeon... …”

"sorry……"

Uzumaki Naruto, who was criticized for being so naked, huddled up in despair, while Uchiha Sasuke took a deep breath with a complex expression and asked in a deep voice:

"So, you chose to let Orochimaru and Yakushi Kabuto go?"

"I just gave them the necessary research freedom." Kaguya Rei gave Uchiha Sasuke a meaningful look, and threw a blood collection bottle containing the remaining blood of Otsutsuki Ishiki with his backhand towards Orochimaru who was listening, "Ninja The current enemies of the world are terrifying foreign enemies from the stars, and every individual who can help the ninja world improve its overall strength has precious value."

"Even if they are all lunatics who are different from ordinary people at heart?"

"If you put madmen in the right place, they can also become geniuses whose value is beyond imagination."

Kaguya Rei waved her hand, turned and left the satellite fortress that provided convenience and concealment for Orochimaru's research, while leaving behind this sentence:

"If you think what I said is wrong, then take a closer look at the world I created and meet more old friends who are very different from your impressions. Uchiha Sasuke... eyes that can reflect the soul, can't It’s just something that exists to facilitate your madness.”

Watching Kaguya Rei leave, Orochimaru first solemnly placed the blood collection bottle containing Otsutsuki Ishiki's blood into the mouth of a psychic snake for preservation, while looking at Uzumaki Naruto and Uchiha Sasuke in a wicked way. He smiled evilly and said:

"As Rei-kun said, even those who are paranoid and incomprehensible in the eyes of others have characteristics that can shine in the fields they are good at... It just so happened that Rei-kun had asked Nagato to issue a warning to the entire ninja world. I have received the announcement of the Dawn Meeting, and considering the strength of those two guys and their main locations, you should be able to see them tomorrow after they have been transformed by Lord Lian."

"Who are you referring to, Orochimaru?" Uchiha Sasuke asked with an unkind expression.

"They are two old friends who may not be familiar to you, Sasuke-kun, but may have a deep impression on Naruto-kun...or maybe they are enemies? Hehehehe, it's really exciting, you guys The expression at that time..."

Uzumaki Naruto and Uchiha Sasuke looked at each other, and saw expressions of worry and confusion in each other's eyes.

…

the next day.

A motorcade dressed in a desert style arrived at the capital of the Country of Rain, the Akatsuki City, which was transformed from the former Hidden Rain Village.

"Wow, the Country of Rain is indeed a country where it rains all year round... No wonder some people used to say that this is a country that is always crying. If the sky is always so gloomy, it will really make people think it is. I’m crying.”

The tall and good-looking Queen Sarah jumped out of the semi-automatic vehicle controlled by puppetry, and then looked up at the sky above her head where there was almost no sunlight, and said with emotion.

"I don't think the puppetry lessons I arranged for you are so rigorous that they will cause your eyesight to deteriorate to such an extent, Sarah."

The Crimson Sand Scorpion, who had regained his youthful appearance, commanded the vehicles under him to transform, making them combine into a huge battle puppet at an astonishing speed, and said in a nonchalant manner:

"Don't you see that the reason why the sky in Akatsuki City looks so gloomy is mainly because there is something floating on it?"

"Are you telling me that there is something floating in the sky above the City of Dawn that blocks the sunlight?" Sara squinted her eyes and looked at it, then shook her head in disbelief and said:

"Impossible. How big would it be for something that could cover the entire Akatsuki City? A mountain range suspended in the sky? Or a huge floating city? That kind of thing may not be that big. Isn’t it too unrealistic?”

"For that guy Kaguya Rei, whether the Castle in the Sky can exist only depends on whether he has this idea."

The Crimson Sand Scorpion shook his head and walked towards the representative of the Akatsuki organization who came to greet their Loulan Kingdom delegation.
