"Whoosh!" At the Shadow Hidden Village's tower, just as Chen was introducing Hane to everyone, a beam of guiding white light descended from above!
"This is—!"
Hane shuddered, her mind racing at light speed!
This was Sage Katsuyu's Reverse Summoning!
Because of Taoyuan's barrier, there had been a delay in the summoning!
But in about five seconds, she would be summoned away!
What should she do? Use 'Annihilation of the First Principle' to immediately sever the karmic link of the summoning?
No... Explaining this afterward to that person would be even more troublesome!
Besides, the reason Sage Katsuyu had suddenly summoned her was probably inseparable from Naruto and Sasuke!
Had they followed the trail of Katsuyu Senjutsu and found their way here?
If that was the case...
"Swish!" One second before being summoned away, Hane abruptly tore the black God Robe embroidered with the Uchiha crest off her delicate body!
"Ah~!" Konan, who was directly facing her, instantly widened her amber eyes!
"Don't panic! Keep doing whatever you were doing—I'll be right back!"
"Poof!" As soon as she finished speaking, Hane vanished from everyone's sight in a cloud of white smoke.
In the sacred land, Shikkotsu Forest, before the girl formed by Sage Katsuyu at the Great Spirit Waterfall!
The white smoke dispersed.
Hane crouched with her arms folded over her chest, shut her eyes, and cried out, "Eek~~~! Great-Grandmaster Katsuyu, what are you doing, catching me off guard like that~? I was just about to take a bath~!"
"Ah!" Katsuyu hurriedly used her body to block the two startled gazes behind her.
"Kōba, I'm sorry, I'm sorry! I didn't know you were about to bathe!"
She turned back and scolded, "Naruto, Sasuke! Stop staring like idiots! Look away already!"
"Uh... cough, cough." Naruto raised a hand and coughed twice,
