Konoha Ninja Camp on the Land of River.

Sakumo did not go out to perform the task but stayed in the camp to train. During the war, he had to practice swordsmanship every night to avoid slacking.

But the next second, Akabane appeared.

There was a strong chakra fluctuation, and there was still a trace of blood in the air. Sakumo raised his brow and immediately shouted: “Where is the medical team, there are wounded…”

“It’s okay, it’s not that severe. I will treat it myself.”

Akabane gasped for a few breaths, and then used his medical ninjutsu and life return, guiding and healing himself.

The injury itself is not serious, the main load that burdens his body is from the effect of opening the six gates in one go, otherwise, no medical treatment is needed.

He even used a Senjutsu attack. As a result, he badly injured Madara, but unfortunately, it was a clone, not the main body. But that being said, he had gained a lot this time.

His illusion can indeed be effective on Madara, but it is very difficult to turn the wounds in the illusion into reality through his Kekkei Genkai.

Madara is highly resistant to illusion, and he is also an illusionist. He will soon be able to break away, but the black Zetsu has fallen into his illusion for a long time…

If he uses his Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan to cast that Genjutsu, even Madara will be injured, but the degree of injury will be weakened.

This also proves that it is right to improve his mental power.

Before long, the injuries he had caused by opening the six gates were healed.

“Don’t tell me…it’s the injury for opening the Eight-Inner Gates?”

Sakumo asked thoughtfully.

With the stature of Flying Thunder God Jutsu, apart from Akabane himself, no other people should be able to hurt him, even more, how this guy has countless trump cards, definitely more than just his surface abilities.

Akabane got up and said solemnly, “Well, I went to the Sand Village. Let’s not talk about this, I have important business, you come with me to see Uncle Sagiki.”

“Ok.”

Sakumo nodded lightly.

After a series of military exploits, he himself has been promoted to the elite Jonin. He is also a high-level figure in this camp, and he is qualified to participate in higher secrets.

Besides, this matter also has something to do with Sakumo.

Hatake Sagiki is very busy. He is now like Danzo, dealing with countless affairs every day, but when Akabane arrives, he still feels it.

After all, such a strong smell of blood is not something he can ignore.

The two stepped into the camp and saw that Akabane was in good health, unlike any serious injuries he imagined, he was relieved immediately, and after a glance, he only said, “How is the Sand Village?”

“Madara summoned the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path with the help of Hidden Sand Village.”

Akabane said solemnly.

“Demonic Statue of the Outer Path?”

Sakumo’s expression was not very rich, with a look of surprise.

Everyone knows what it is, even a normal villager knows what it is from Akabane’s comic that has introduced it in sufficient detail.

It is a container for the chakra of the tailed beast, and the body of the ten-tailed Beast. It has incredible power in itself.

The power of that thing is hard to guess.

Seeing the violent mood swings, Hatake Sagiki calmed down after taking a breath. He stopped the affairs in his hands for a long time and looked as deep as water: “That means Madara will start collecting the remaining Tailed Beast. But his first goal is definitely not Konoha.”

“If we were going to base from Ninja Village strength, it should be the Hidden Waterfall Village.”

Akabane nodded.

At present, they have contacted the few Ninja villages with the Most Tailed beasts, but they didn’t tell the whole truth to the Hidden Waterfall Village but only warned them that someone was aiming for their Tailed Beast.

There is a reason for this.

The Hidden Waterfall Village is geographically unique, surrounded by waterfalls and lakes. It is difficult for outsiders to find the true location of Waterfall Village. This also makes them relatively closed internally, and information is not so fast.

Although their strength is not weak, they must not believe that if they rashly tell them that Madara is not dead, they think that Konoha is trying to influence each other’s relationship.

That’s why concealment is also a last resort.

“Others can’t find Hidden Waterfall Village, but they definitely can.”

Sakumo said.

Although Black Zetsu is not strong, his concealment ability is so great that it wouldn’t be weird if he already knew the location of the Waterfall Village.

“Waterfall Village…”

Hatake Sagiki hesitated for a moment, and finally shook his head and said, “I can’t leave this place. So you are going to talk with the Third Hokage-sama and Danzo.”

His task is to fight against the Sand Village, and the Waterfall Village is not in his consideration.

Akabane didn’t ask him to divide his troops here either.

So he nodded in understanding.

“The fighting in the Land of River may change at any time. Don’t take the initiative to attack from now on. Try to shrink the line of defence and wait for the opportunity to focus on defence.”

Previously, Ebizo had the intention to “surrender”, but now Madara takes action himself, so they must also complete this plan as soon as possible.

But Chiyo…

Akabane had a toothache, he knows it’s not that easy to talk some sense to a mother who lost her son.

So it was useless to explain some things.

Intellectually, Chiyo must understand it after listening to the explanation, but logically she definitely cannot forgive it, at least… on Sakumo’s side, I’m afraid it’s a bit difficult.

If it really doesn’t work, they can only continue to fight!

Konoha doesn’t want to cause trouble, but even Sarutobi Hiruzen won’t hand over a genius like Sakumo. Firstly, the Third Hokage is not afraid of trouble now.

Secondly,

Hatake Sagiki is not dead yet. He is currently the frontline commander. If he wants him to surrender his son for these absurd reasons. He first asks whether he will agree with the sword in his hand.

“You go back and ask the Third Hokage-sama to pass the order.”

Hatake Sagiki said coldly.

Although this kid is valued by everyone, it is a matter of war, and he cannot rashly agree. This is the quality that a commander should have.

“Of course.”

Akabane nodded.

He planned to return to Konoha, but he didn’t have enough Chakras after the fight, so he came to “borrow” some food pills.

For official business trips, of course, you have to go to the public house.

After several food pills, with the help of the ability of Return to Life, he quickly recovered his physical energy, and by the way, it seemed that the recovery speed of mental energy was also slightly accelerated.

After a while.

He calculated that it should be enough to return to Konoha from the Land of River without using the Yin Seal, so he quickly returned to Konoha using the Flying Thunder God Jutsu.

Arriving at the Hokage Building, Akabane climbed up from the first floor to the last floor.

He wants to finish it early so that he can go to bed early…

Speaking of it, it seems like a day has passed for this matter today.

Forget it, Madara is more important.

Akabane knocked on the office door, it was late, but the Third Hokage was still working at the desk. As Hokage, he does his job harder than Tsunade and Kakashi.

“Akabane…huh? So fast?”

Hiruzen was probably tired. At first, he didn’t react. He just took a look and continued to work. It took a full two seconds before he reacted.

“Things have changed, Madara…”

Akabane recounted the results of his investigation, even the battle process was no exception.

Of course, he excluded the fact that he used his Mangekyo Sharingan to escape from Madara’s Chibaku Tensei.

Hiruzen was still in a trance at the beginning, but as soon as he heard the name “Demonic Statue of the Outer Path”, his spirits instantly evoked, and any fatigue disappeared into nothing.

Demonic Statue of the Outer Path!

Afterwards, he was even more surprised when he heard that Akabane further developed and utilized the tail beast Chakra, let alone the Eight-Inner Gates and Sage Mode.

The most important is–

When he is already this strong, he still runs away from Madara!

He was in a bad mood all of a sudden because it shows that Madara is too powerful!

Hiruzen sat in a position as he doubted life, and after a long time he said, “Madara becomes stronger again.”

“Yes, according to induction, he has been able to create four shadows, each shadow can use the Ninjutsu of the main body, which ordinary people can’t see and hurt, and it’s very difficult to deal with.”

Akabane said.

“His next step may be to find the Seven-Tails of Hidden Waterfall Village, but we haven’t got any effective contact with Hidden Waterfall Village.”

Hiruzen has a headache.

Nowadays, although Konoha and Waterfall Village have a good relationship, they are not very good.

Although they sent a messenger to talk to the leader of the Waterfall Village, the other party did not take Konoha’s warning in his heart.

Some people never see the coffin without weeping, even if they go again, it will be the same result.

“These are the things between you and the Teacher, and you also pay attention to Land-of-Rivers. It’s best to quickly let Ebizo persuade Chiyo to end the frontline war and deal with Madara.”

After finishing talking, Akabane rubbed his temples.

Going back and forth from the Sand Village made him physically weak as if his body had been hollowed out, and I’m afraid that he would die suddenly if he didn’t sleep.

“You can rest.”

Hiruzen knew that Akabane was tired, so he didn’t let him stay much, and waved his hand to let him go to rest.

After pondering for a while, Hiruzen got up and went to Anbu-he knew very well that Danzo must have not slept at the moment and was still working in Anbu.

This matter must be discussed with Danzo.

As for Utatane Koharu…

She has been addicted to medical jutsu recently, and as long as these things have nothing to do with the village she has no interest in participating.

Although she is indeed inferior to Tsunade in terms of talent, there are indeed many benefits to having a high-profile leader. At least the medical class is developing rapidly.

Danzo is indeed still working.

Busy today, he didn’t even have time to read the comics. He was about to pick it up and take a look at it. As a result, there was an anecdotal report outside—

“Master Danzo, Hokage-sama are here.”

“…”

Hiruzen visiting him late-night should be something important.

That means I’m going to work overtime again.

Danzo faintly suffers from liver pain. He has been working all day, and finally had to take a break, but finally encountered this incident.

However, Hiruzen entered and talked about the contents of what Akabane told him…

He also shook his spirits and instantly became sober.

“…”
