Soon, the morning was over.

In the afternoon, Shinki's Shadow Clone came to take over the work, and Shikamaru watched from the side with a furrowed brow.

Although the Shadow Clones are also part of the Shinki, seeing these Shadow Clones suffer for the Shinki gives the feeling that the Shinki is exploiting its labor force!

Three days passed in the blink of an eye.

"Whoosh!"

Shikamaru hurriedly pushed open the door, entered the Hokage's Office, and found Shinki.

Shinki knew Shikamaru wasn't an impatient person, so he asked curiously, "What serious thing happened? Why are you in such a hurry?"

Shikamaru: "Remember that case from a few days ago, the one about the missing person at the Mine? The village sent a Jonin team, but we haven't heard anything back yet..."

Shinki frowned. "The entire Jonin squad was wiped out? (º Д º*)"

Tell me the location of the mission, and I'll go check it out myself!

As he spoke, Shinki stood up.

Just then, another person appeared behind the open door to the Hokage's Office!

Sasuke came to report to Shinki on the Chakra Armor development.

However, when he entered the room, he realized that something was off about the atmosphere!

"What's wrong? ╭(°A°`)╮"

Shinki pointed at Sasuke: "Better late than early, you're the one!"

"Go to the Land of Fire Border and investigate the reason for the Ninja's disappearance... Shikamaru, you and Sasuke explain it in detail."

Sasuke was inexplicably conscripted, looked utterly resistant. "I had lunch plans with Sakura... (*꒦ິ⌓꒦ີ)"

Shinki: "Then let's go after we finish eating. Anyway, you have Susanoo fly fast. (o´Д`o)ノ"

Sasuke: "..."

And so, Sasuke was taken away by Shikamaru.

Shinki picked up the teacup beside him and took a sip of tea.

Sasuke is right. Now that he's Hokage, he can't do everything himself. He should use others when necessary. ( ˝ᗢ̈˝ )

On the other side.

After learning the general situation from Shikamaru's explanation, Sasuke set off.

As for the lunch he had arranged with Sakura, he planned to eat it when he got back.

At the village's central square, Sasuke and Sakura parted ways, and Sasuke activated his Susanoo Complete Form!

"Whoosh!"

The enormous purple Susanoo Warrior God its wings and slowly ascended into the air!

There were many pedestrians in the square, and they all saw this scene, and they were all extremely excited!

"Funny! This is the Susanoo of the Uchiha Clan! This is so cool! (▿▿)"

"This height must be at least two hundred meters!"

"The purple Susanoo so powerful!"

"Hey? Which do you guys think is cooler, Sasuke's purple Susanoo or our Hokage's green Susanoo? (´∇ノ`*)ノ"

"Don't start a fight!"

"But subjectively I think purple looks cooler! ୧⍢⃝୨"

"Nonsense, green looks good too!"

"What's the point of arguing about this? As long as you're strong enough, that's all that matters."

"That makes sense, and the powerful Sixth Hokage can accomplish anything; changing the color of a Susanoo casually! (σ≧︎▽︎≦︎)σ."

High in the sky, Sasuke heard the praise and discussions below, and felt secretly pleased.

He deliberately chose a crowded place to activate Susanoo off, just to show off a little!

As for those who compared him to Shinki, he didn't care at all!

If he were a few years younger, he probably wouldn't have accepted Shinki.

But now all he can say is, Sasuke Uchiha, have to compare himself to Shinki!

After taking off from Konoha, the enormous purple Warrior God soared into the clouds and sped towards the Land of Fire Border!

Two hours later, Sasuke arrived above the mission location!

There were many people guarding outside the Mine Cave, cautiously peering inside, but not daring to actually go in.

Soon!

With a loud "BOOM!"

Sasuke controlled the giant purple Warrior God to land, stunning everyone!

He then introduced himself and his purpose to these people, and asked, "Could any of you tell me more about the situation here?"

A thin man wearing a miner's helmet stepped forward. "Sir Ninja, this happened a week ago. We unearthed an Underground Karst Cave, and since then, miners have been frequently disappearing, and strange roars, like those of some large, ferocious beast, are coming from inside the Mine Cave..."

"Then, three days ago, a small team of Konoha Ninja went in to investigate. Shortly after they went in, they heard some kind of collision sound coming from inside... Those Ninjas still haven't come out..."

After understanding the general situation, Sasuke frowned, nodded, and stepped inside.

He wanted to see what kind of creature was inside that could defeat a small squad of Jonin in an instant!

Seeing Sasuke and daring, the miners didn't stop him and made way for him...

Sasuke then slowly walked into the mine tunnel.

Sasuke's footsteps echoed through the dark mine tunnels.

The further you go in, the darker it gets, and the more eerie the atmosphere becomes!

Sasuke's nerves tightened involuntarily.

Just then, a long-suppressed roar erupted from the depths of the mine!

"Roar--!"

Upon Sasuke, seemingly afraid of losing his target, drew his sword from his waistband with a "whoosh!" and quickened his pace!

Soon, deep within the mine, a pure white monster appeared before Sasuke!!

Upon seeing the creature, Sasuke was stunned for a moment, then exclaimed its name: "White Zetsu?! ┌(.Д.)┐"

During the Fourth Shinobi World War, Obito created White Zetsu Army.

In the final battle, all the White Zetsu were wiped out.

However, it's normal for one or two to slip through the net...

Having figured all this out, Sasuke drew his sword and charged forward!!

Sasuke, in the Mine Cave, this White Zetsu was formed by the fusion of multiple White Zetsu, standing three or four meters tall and possessing five heads.

However, these five heads didn't seem to be working very well; they all had vacant stares and seemed to lack intelligence, only able to utter indistinct roars...

Sasuke quickly sliced White Zetsu into pieces!

"Whoosh!"

Sasuke flicked the blood and flesh off his knife, a look of confusion on his face.

"These White Zetsu have five heads and can use four different ninjutsu, so they're definitely tough to deal with. But even if that Jonin squad can't win, they can still run away..."

"Furthermore, there's no human flesh or blood here, and none in the White Zetsu's stomach either... It seems we need to keep going!"

After saying that, Sasuke drew his sword and continued forward.

After walking several dozen meters further into the dark and cramped cave, Sasuke saw the Limestone Cave the miners had described...

To Sasuke's astonishment, there was a Giant Tree inside the Limestone Cave...

This tree was ridiculously large; Sasuke was only at its crown, its roots were even deeper inside the Limestone Cave!

Upon seeing this enormous tree, Sasuke was almost certain that it was created using Wood Release!

"That's strange, who's using Wood Release down here?" Sasuke muttered to himself as he peered down.

After glancing at it, Sasuke realized that the area below the tree trunk was completely obscured by branches, making it impossible to see anything...

"I guess I'll have to go down and take a look! ╰_╯"

After saying that, Sasuke swung his long sword!

"Whoosh!!"

In the darkness, a cold glint flashed!

The tangled, thick branches were cut down, Sasuke leaped down!!
