Shinobi World People, Daring to Dig Up the Ōtsutsuki Graves?!

"Wind Release: Vacuum Slash"

Seeing that the crab was still struggling, Kazashiro added another Wind Release to the broken part of its shell.

Worried that the other person was in too much pain, he thoughtfully added a Fire Style: "Fire Style: Fire Dragon Bullet."

The wind fanned the flames, and the crabs were quickly engulfed in the fire, releasing a fragrant aroma of barbecue.

"Is this thing edible?"

Uchiha Hikari, who was trying to maintain his aloof persona, broke down in an instant. Upon closer inspection, it seemed that there was a trace of drool on the corner of his mouth.

"I feel like I'll get diarrhea if I eat it."

After carefully smelling the fragrance emanating from the air, Kazashiro offered his suggestions.

"It would be too dangerous to eat this unidentified creature."

Looking at the grilled crab, which was just as delicious Naruto's grilled fish, Hiruzen Sarutobi, who had been standing upright, hunched over again, slowly walked to Kazashiro's side, and patted him on the shoulder with a smile.

He hadn't experienced the master-apprentice collaboration in a long time.

As the two wounded—no, the two Hokage— were exchanging feelings on the battlefield, Toneri, who was in the palace, sensed something and suddenly raised his head, revealing his eyes covered by a black veil.

Who is it?

As the emotionless voice of the Toneri rang out, some puppets hiding in the shadows emitted a crackling sound.

"The Shinobi World...?"

Toneri was somewhat surprised, not expecting that before he could even pick up his wife, the Shinobi World would be the first to come looking for him.

"Let's see what they're up to first before we take any action."

After saying this, Toneri leaned back in his chair and fell silent once again.

"Hasn't it arrived yet...?"

On the other side, Uchiha Hikari, who was flying in the air, looked troubled, clutching his stomach with both hands, and had no intention of controlling his flying ninja tool.

"It'll be soon, you'd better hold back, or you'll really be flying free."

Kazashiro tried hard not to laugh out loud. After all, the other person wouldn't listen to advice and insisted on trying that so-called grilled crab.

"Don't laugh..."

Uchiha Hikari gritted his teeth and reached out to grab Kazashiro.

"Damn it, sis, we're in the sky! Don't do anything reckless, and what if you spray it?!"

"Shut up! Ugh..."

"Oh my god, it can't really be --"

"Susanoo!"

"Holy crap!"

After a period of commotion, the group finally arrived at the city ruins.

Kushina stayed behind to take care of Uchiha Hikari, whose complexion showed signs of aging, while the others began searching for traces of the Ōtsutsuki.

Meanwhile, the puppets sent by the Toneri hid in the shadows, observing their every move.

They seemed to be looking for something.

The puppets made their judgment based on the actions of Kazashiro and the others.

Until they noticed that among the group was Hizashi with Byakugan.

"Byakugan..."

A low murmur reached the ears of Hizashi, who was searching for traces of the Ōtsutsuki.

"Who?"

Hizashi suddenly turned around and saw that there seemed to be a corridor leading underground in the building in front of him.

"What happened?"

The group moved to his side the instant Hizashi, and then they saw the stairs.

"Let's go take a look."

Kazashiro squinted, trying to glean something from it, but unfortunately, he had neither Sharingan nor Byakugan, so he could only look at something that seemed utterly useless.

"It seems we have achieved our goal."

Hiruzen was walking at the front, looked at the mounds of earth on the ground and instantly guessed the purpose of the place.

"A grave, without a doubt, this should be the grave of the Ōtsutsuki. I just wonder if they foresaw this calamity that would come hundreds of years later."

As Kazashiro spoke, he summoned an iron shovel from the Summoning Scroll.

"Gentlemen, let's start digging."

Just as Kazashiro was about to make a move, a sound like a wail suddenly came from the shadows.

"Byakugan, it really is Byakugan..."

A man who walked like a zombie emerged and slowly approached the crowd.

"Stop!"

Hiruzen stood in front of the crowd, about to throw his shuriken, when he saw the man open his eyeless eye, revealing the empty space inside.

Immediately afterwards, he opened his mouth wide and spat out a bead that emitted a purple light.

Bathed in this light, Hizashi collapsed instantly, losing consciousness.

After doing all that, the man collapsed to the ground in a bizarre posture, muttering things like "Stop the Ōtsutsuki."

What should we do next?

Hiruko at the grave before him, a fervent glint in his eyes.

"Keep digging, it won't affect anything."

Kazashiro knew that this must be the other party sending some kind of message to Hizashi.

Several top ninjas in the Shinobi World thus began their business of digging up graves.

One by one, the eyeless corpses were dug out and placed into pre-prepared Corpse Storage Scroll.

All of this was also being observed by the puppets outside.

Toneri quickly received the news.

"People from the Shinobi World, digging up graves?!"

The Toneri had initially thought the other party had simply stumbled in by mistake became furious.

It seems that this group came prepared, and their target was the remains of their ancestors.

Blasphemy, what blasphemy!

Toneri could no longer tolerate it and immediately prepared to lead the puppets to fight Kazashiro and the others to the death.
