"Hi, find the other person!" Darui shouted.

Darui and Hii, both being the Raikage's right-hand men, had excellent teamwork. Darui called out, and Hii immediately moved. His intention was straightforward: to force Naruto to return to defense.

As expected, Naruto decisively abandoned the fight and retreated to defend. As he retreated, the leading reinforcement team of Kumogakure arrived in a large force.

Seeing that further delay was not a viable solution, Naruto thought for a moment and then used all his strength to tighten the Eight-Tails' Adamantine Sealing Chains.

"Ah!!" Killer B's scream was deafening.

He couldn't kill that group of people for the time being, and it wouldn't be worth continuing to entangle them. These Impure World Reincarnation corpses only had a few minutes of power.

Thinking about the mission he still had to complete, Naruto sighed, yet felt somewhat unwilling. In this battle, besides his signature Rasengan, he almost pulled out his underwear.

Just run away like that? That's so pathetic.

Besides, Naruto Uzumaki is just a minor character; losing face a little doesn't matter to him. But now that he's wearing Sasuke's appearance, the glory of the Uchiha must not be tarnished!

At this moment, Naruto finally felt a touch of saintly compassion! He was heartbroken; Uchiha Sasuke had become a rogue ninja, and only he, his Yuhi classmate, would remember to contribute to Sasuke's reputation.

He thought it didn't matter how much he let himself go, since Sasuke's merits were being deducted, what did it have to do with Naruto Uzumaki? So he stopped running away, turned around, and leaped high into the air with a powerful kick.

From afar, Kazahana Koyuki watched Naruto run towards her with all his might, and she was immediately delighted. But when she saw him leap high into the air, she was stunned again.

"What are they trying to do?"

On the distant battlefield of Yuntai, the Kumogakure support forces had also arrived, and the Sealing Team kept a close watch on the battlefield's movements. The Fourth Raikage and his father exchanged punches, creating terrifying explosions and afterimages.

Even one-tenth of the Third Raikage's strength was terrifying, and the Fourth Raikage would naturally have the power to fight him, and could even send his father away on the spot, but for some reason he has not done so yet.

Darui and Shi worked together seamlessly, having already sealed away the First Raikage and Second Raikage. Turning to face the Gold and Silver Brothers, he suddenly felt a jolt in his heart.

My sixth sense is triggering a flurry of alarms; it's practically dancing a rave in my head.

"Oh no! Danger!" Darui shouted.

"Everyone! Retreat!" hope Ye shouted, "Get out of this area! Quickly!"

In an instant, Xi clearly sensed the direction from which the killing intent was concentrated. Turning her head, she immediately became breathless. In the distance, in mid-air, a Tailed Beast Ball, not particularly large, was slowly condensing.

The person who solidified was none other than Sasuke Uchiha (Naruto) with a cold expression.

Feeling the immense pressure and the needle-like killing intent, Xi and Darui panicked for the first time. This was completely illogical; what kind of Tailed Beast Ball could generate such a powerful sense of oppression?

They had seen the Eight-Tails' Tailed Beast Ball before, both large and small, but they had never felt such a powerful and murderous aura from one of the Tailed Beast Ball.

Under the Nikko.

Naruto hovered in the air, fueled by the Tailed Beast Chakra, letting the raging power within him surge freely, no longer suppressing the almost boiling killing intent within him.

The pure black Tailed Beast Ball slowly took shape in front of his palm, and all the exhilarating and violent emotions surged from his limbs toward his palm.

He gazed at the distant cloud platform, focusing on the direction of the Fourth Raikage. Even from several kilometers away, the striking blue lightning Chakra emanating from him was clearly visible.

Naruto's face was expressionless, his emotions as calm as still water.

There was no need to aim at all; the Chakra emanating from the Third Raikage and Fourth Raikage was too dazzling, one black and one blue, constantly colliding with each other.

He slightly adjusted his hand, casually pointing it in the direction of the Fourth Raikage, and then with a simple thought, as if throwing away trash.

The Tailed Beast Ball moved.

It pierced the air at an extremely high speed, accompanied by a sonic boom, and disappeared directly into the Nikko.

"Raikage-sama!" Xi tried to sense the Tailed Beast Ball, but it was too fast to detect it. In the blink of an eye, he had arrived on the Cloud Platform Battlefield.

This Tailed Beast Ball had nothing to do with grudges or any particular reason; it was simply a release of pent-up energy in battle. Just like the Raikage had done earlier, it was a fight with all his might.

The road ahead crumbled belatedly, as if the earth itself had bulged up, and countless flying sand and stones were crushed by the gale. A single Tailed Beast Ball caused the earth to split and mountains to collapse.

With a loud boom, the Fourth Raikage suddenly accelerated, abandoning his entanglement with his Impure World Reincarnation father, and charged towards the Tailed Beast Ball.

In a burst of white light, Naruto shamelessly ran away with Kazahana Koyuki.

On the other side.

In order to escape the area of Kumogakure more quickly, Kazahana Koyuki was held in Naruto's arms as the surrounding scenery rushed past.

"What did you just do?" she asked, looking up.

"Don't ask too many questions about adults' affairs?" Naruto said without hesitation, sounding very worldly. "Knowing too much won't do you any good."

His entire life, past and present, is indeed a bit older than Kazahana Koyuki, but he accidentally sent it away just when he finally found a job and was about to become a permanent employee again.

He was just dead, but he probably still had his job. That was his first thought when he opened his eyes after transmigrating.

That's just how people are; they try to compensate for what they lack.

He was lying there peacefully, but somehow he had to start making arrangements in advance. According to his plan, as long as he killed Pain Obito, he could live a peaceful life for at least another ten years.

That's just Naruto's personality. When faced with problems that are too complicated and troublesome, he prefers to take drastic measures and address the symptoms rather than the root cause.

Life is short. After Pain, there's Obito; after Obito, there's Uchiha Madara, the Otsutsuki, and endless enemies. Who wants to save the world all day long? He's not a savior.

Even if the sky falls, there's always someone tall enough to hold it up.

Now, all he needs to do is find a way to kill Pain and Obito, those two unfilial descendants, Black Zetsu be able to cause any trouble. Kill that bastard, then go home and relax.

As for what happens next, we'll talk about that when we're adults. Clear short-term goals can make life happier, but clear long-term goals can make life a mess.

"Who's the child? You are!" Kazahana Koyuki suddenly realized that she was still in Naruto's arms and muttered that ninjas grow up too fast.

"Let's find a safe place first, then we'll try again," Naruto said, panting. "Space-Time Ninjutsu."

Kazahana Koyuki looked speechless. "Am I that heavy?"

"No, I just got injured," Naruto explained. "The wound on my abdomen accidentally reopened."

"Do all you ninjas work this hard?" she asked, feeling a pang of sympathy as she thought of Naruto's age. "Does it hurt?"

"It's just a job, I get paid." Naruto carried her and hurried away. "Don't ask me if it hurts, and I won't ask you if you're scared because we're going home soon."

"Now that you mention it, I'm starting to get nervous." Kazahana Koyuki chuckled dryly, but the nervousness she could muster wasn't too bad. She glanced at Naruto.

Are you really just a child?

"I'm not young anymore, I'll be an adult in a few years," Naruto said. "Ninjas are different from ordinary people, they are roughly equivalent to adults when they graduate at the age of twelve."

He paused for a moment, then continued.

"In terms of bloodshed and killing, he has reached adulthood."
