Everything Is Ready (Second Update)

"Magnet Release: Gold Dust Great Burial!"

Yakushi Kabuto reacted very quickly. After discovering that Hawking could break his Impure World Reincarnation, he immediately controlled the Fourth Kazekage to unleash a storm of Gold Dust that covered everyone.

He didn't intend to use this move to eliminate Hawking, Ōnoki, and the others; that was completely impossible. He was simply trying to obscure everyone's view.

Because he's trying to escape!

His confidence in coming alone to capture the Eight-Tails and Nine-Tailed Jinchuriki stemmed from the Impure World Reincarnation Jutsu; otherwise, he would have run away long ago upon discovering the Third Tsuchikage and Hawking.

Now that Hawking has broken through his Impure World Reincarnation, he certainly can't be foolish enough to continue fighting.

"Receive!"

With a single hand Hand Seals, the Second Tsuchikage, the Second Mizukage, and Deidara, whose bodies had just been damaged by Hawking and were now recovering, immediately closed their eyes, returned to the coffin, and disappeared.

Kabuto left only the Fourth Kazekage to buy time, while he transformed into a white snake and disappeared into the sea.

He knew that Hawking could fly and knew Space-Time Ninjutsu, so if he tried to escape through the air, he would be caught. It would be better to hide in the sea.

Hawking's strength exceeded his expectations. His Taijutsu was stronger than the Third Raikage's, and his Ninjutsu was almost all instantaneous and incredibly powerful, even several powerful Kage could hardly withstand it.

Unless he Impure World Reincarnation Uchiha Madara, it will be difficult to win.

However, the Impure World Reincarnation Uchiha Madara is crucial for tomorrow's decisive battle, and it would be troublesome if something went wrong here.

Fortunately, he knew that Hawking could not exist in this world forever, so he could hide in the sea and secretly follow Turtle Island. Once Hawking left, he could then recapture the Eight-Tails and Nine-Tailed Jinchuriki.

"Getsuga Tensho!"

With two swift slashes, Hawking shattered all the Gold Dust that lunged at him. In a flash, Hawking appeared before the Fourth Kazekage, kicked him to pieces, and then imprinted the hilt of his Zanpakutō on his forehead.

"They run pretty fast."

After seeing off the Fourth Kazekage, Hawking murmured as he watched Yakushi Kabuto disappear into the sea.

If he had wanted to capture Yakushi Kabuto just now, Yakushi Kabuto would definitely not have been able to escape. The seawater was nothing to him.

However, if Yakushi Kabuto is captured, then Uchiha Madara will be unable to use the Impure World Reincarnation.

That's why he turned a blind eye and let Yakushi Kabuto go.

"Too bad, this guy is too cautious!"

At that moment, Ōnoki flew over. Seeing that Yakushi Kabuto had already disappeared, he first showed a regretful expression, then turned to look at Hawking, his face full of emotion:

"Konoha advisor Hawking, it seems you're even more impressive than Tsunade said."

The overwhelming power that Hawking had just displayed gave him the same sense of awe he felt when he first met Uchiha Madara.

At that moment, Naruto also rushed over in a flurry:

"What is going on?"

"An accident, this is an accident. It must be that Yakushi Kabuto knew about our Animal Squad Operation Plan, so he came here specifically to sabotage it."

Yamato quickly stopped Naruto and said:

"The Animal Squad Operation Plan is S-Class Mission, and it will play a crucial role in dealing with Akatsuki in the future. Naruto, your mission is very important!"

"So that's how it is!"

Upon hearing this, Naruto immediately became excited and patted his chest to assure everyone:

"Don't worry, I will definitely complete the mission."

Yamato hearing this, Yamato immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

This is because Naruto is simple-minded; if it were any other ninja, they probably wouldn't believe it.

"Naruto, Yamato is lying to you. The Allied Shinobi Forces have already been formed outside, and they will probably have a decisive battle with Akatsuki tomorrow. They are just lying to you to stay here to protect you."

"The Yakushi Kabuto over because he got information from Kisame. He wants to capture you and Killer B, extract the Nine-Tails and Eight-Tails, and complete his plan."

Seeing that Yamato had once again fooled Naruto, Hawking spoke up and told the truth.

Upon hearing Hawking's words, everyone who had finally breathed a sigh of relief was immediately dumbfounded.

Naruto, the only one kept in the dark, was stunned on the spot.

"Hawking... why... why did you do this?"

After realizing what was happening Yamato, Yamato looked at Hawking somewhat haltingly.

Hawking waved his hand:

"Naruto is my friend, so I don't think we should keep it from him. Whether to fight or hide here should be his own decision."

Besides, this war also needs his strength.

"I've received intelligence that Akatsuki's White Zetsu will launch a night raid on the Allied Forces camp tonight. Those White Zetsu's Transformation Technique can even mimic Chakra, making them impossible for you to identify. Only Naruto and Killer B, using the power of the Tailed Beast, can determine their form."

Is your intelligence accurate?

Ōnoki's face immediately turned serious.

Hawking nodded:

"That's certainly accurate, but now is not the time to talk about that. I don't have much time left, so I'll take you to the Allied base first."

After saying that, he grabbed Naruto and Killer B and took them to the Allied Shinobi Forces Headquarters. He then returned and brought the others over one after another.

Finally, even the giant turtle was sent to the sea outside Kumogakure using the Flying Thunder God.

After he finished all that, his time was almost up.

Before leaving, he sought out Naruto alone:

Have you made a decision?

"It's decided. I want everyone to fight side by side, end this war, and find Sasuke!"

Naruto replied firmly.

Hawking nodded:

"Okay, then listen carefully to what I'm about to say."

Sasuke has abandoned the darkness and joined the light, becoming my undercover agent in Akatsuki, helping me gather intelligence. He was the one who told me about the White Zetsu's night raid.

Remember this when the decisive battle begins tomorrow.

If Yakushi Kabuto Impure World Reincarnation Sasuke's Older Brother, Uchiha Itachi, using Edo Tensei, you must go and meet him. You have a backup plan left by him in your eyes that can help him break Kabuto's control over Impure World Reincarnation. Sasuke will also go there at that time.

Then you then

"Sasuke is truly willing to help us fight Akatsuki and is willing to return to Konoha!"

Naruto's eyes lit up instantly.

Hawking reiterated:

"I have already told Tsunade and Jiraiya about this plan in advance. After I leave, do not tell anyone else except them."

"Why?"

Naruto looked puzzled.

"Because in other people's eyes, Sasuke is a missing-nin and not worth trusting."

Hawking raised his hand and patted Naruto on the shoulder.

"However, if we win the war with his help this time, it should be enough to make up for his mistakes and allow him to become a member of Konoha again."

Tsunade and Jiraiya were only willing to believe that Sasuke had abandoned the darkness and turned to the light because of his assurance; the Kage of other ninja villages were not so easily persuaded.

Tomorrow, when Naruto meets Itachi, Itachi can use the Kotoamatsukami that Naruto sees to break Kabuto's control. After Uchiha Madara appears, he will take Sasuke to give Kabuto an Izanami.

Because of his existence, many things have changed, so he has to plan ahead for some things to develop in the direction he wants.

Everything is ready now, and we're just waiting to reap the rewards tomorrow.
