Shaking the Ninja World, Saving Gaara

As the words fell, Naruto's eyes narrowed slightly.

In an instant.

BOOM—

A pressure of genjutsu, as if capable of controlling all things in the world, surged from his right eye, instantly flooding the entire room. Even the air seemed to turn dreamlike and illusory.

And this was precisely the manifestation of the power of Kotoamatsukami!

Through the Mangekyo, Naruto also perceived that the fused Kotoamatsukami, just as described in the original work, was merely a genjutsu for forcibly controlling someone for a short period.

He called it: Instant Kotoamatsukami!

As for the permanent Kotoamatsukami, it naturally remained in the hands of Itachi.

However, Instant Kotoamatsukami was not without its merits; at the very least, its cooldown time had been greatly shortened!

Once he understood the basics, Naruto was just about to deactivate his Mangekyo when his gaze inadvertently swept over the vessel again.

He saw that the Mangekyo patterns of Shisui's eyes, which had already dissolved within the vessel, were reappearing as if a phoenix were rising from the ashes, flickering with a terrifying, eerie light.

Naruto's gaze sharpened. It seems that even if the ocular power is absorbed, the essence of the Mangekyo remains. At the very least, its basic functions are far superior to the Three-Tomoe!

Just as he finished that thought, Naruto seemed to realize something and once again channeled his Sun Mangekyo.

WHOOSH—!

The eerie light of devouring bloomed once more upon the vessel.

However, a moment later.

There was not the slightest reaction.

"Hm? It doesn't work?" Naruto's expression turned puzzled, and then his pupils flashed as the Mangekyo dissipated.

He had just realized that Shisui's eyes still possessed the powerful ocular technique of Susanoo, so he had attempted to devour it again, only to find there was no response at all.

Naruto stared at the Sharingan, analyzing it earnestly.

Soon, he came to an understanding.

He surmised that to devour the ability of Susanoo, both eyes of the Mangekyo pair must be present; otherwise, the devouring could not be achieved!

At this thought, the corners of Naruto's mouth curled up into a smile. "Fine, there is no need to rush. I shall take it slow!"

With that, he quickly formed hand seals, resealing the vessel back into the scroll.

After completing these actions, Naruto's brilliant blue eyes scanned the room quickly.

Finally, his gaze settled on the kitchen, and a smile touched his lips once more.

"Then let me try using the Mangekyo Sharingan to fry a world-class delicious egg and have a taste!"

The sunset was like blood, gradually sinking into the west.

The dark night vanished, and the day broke through the dawn.

The next day, all the events that had occurred in Konoha spread rapidly across the major nations.

Iwagakure, Tsuchikage Building.

"The Nine-Tails jinchuriki has actually grown to this extent?" Ōnoki's expression was grave as he stared at the intelligence scroll in his hand. After a long while, he slowly closed it and shook his head with a sigh.

"I never expected him to be the son of the Fourth Hokage! And he has mastered the Flying Thunder God Technique! Could it be that the ninja world is about to fall into a dark age shrouded by the Yellow Flash once again?"

Ōnoki still had vivid memories of the Third Great Ninja War. At that time, Iwagakure had already gained the upper hand, only for Namikaze Minato to suddenly appear in Konoha!

He had single-handedly turned the tide of the battlefield!

At this thought.

CRACK—

Ōnoki gripped a stone on the table, crushing it with force, his heart filled with resentment.

Why were all the geniuses in Konoha, and whenever they finally managed to produce one, he ended up defecting!

He was referring to you, Art is Patrick Star!

"Don't get worked up, old man!" Kurotsuchi, who was chewing on a candy nearby, suddenly said, "The moment the Nine-Tails jinchuriki returned, he wiped out the entire Root, which shows his killing intent is extremely strong. As long as we send someone to stir up trouble, perhaps Konoha will be destroyed by his own hand."

"Oh?!" Upon hearing this, Ōnoki narrowed his eyes, falling into deep thought.

A moment later.

The resentment in the heart of this old fox vanished instantly, and a sinister smile appeared on his lips.

"Send word to the spies: find an opportunity to strike at the Konoha civilians and frame it as the work of the Nine-Tails jinchuriki! Make him break completely with Konoha!"

Land of Lightning, Valley of Clouds and Lightning.

RUMBLE—

A deafening roar erupted like thunder from the nine heavens. A terrifying beam of blue lightning, like a roaring giant dragon, shot out violently from the valley, shining between heaven and earth.

At the same time, a majestic and furious roar echoed through the heavens.

"One Yellow Flash left, and now another one shows up! An evolved version of the Yellow Flash plus the Nine-Tails jinchuriki!"

As the words fell, the light of the thunder gradually dissipated, revealing the figure within.

This person was none other than the Fourth Raikage, A!

However, at this moment, A was tightly gripping the face of a burly man. That man was none other than Killer B.

"Oh~ stupid brother, jerk brother! Why are you grabbing me? I still have a concert to perform, oh baby~" Killer B looked completely unwilling, his mouth never stopping as he dissed A.

Hearing this, A was instantly incensed, the veins on his forehead bulging.

In an instant.

BOOM--

A terrifying, monstrous power of thunder surged wildly from his body, causing his hair to stand on end like a hedgehog's, while his entire frame was enveloped in a layer of blue lightning. He looked like a god of thunder descended to earth, radiating a fearsome pressure.

This was none other than the Lightning Release Chakra Mode!

With the Lightning Release Chakra Mode activated, A violently hurled Killer B into the air, charged his fists, and roared.

"The jinchuriki of Konoha have become so powerful, yet you are still thinking about your concert?! Defeat me! Only then will you be qualified to leave the Valley of Clouds and Lightning!"

As he finished speaking.

SWISH--

A transformed into a streak of blue lightning, shot into the air, raised his right arm abruptly, and slammed his elbow down toward Killer B.

"Don't do it, brother! Oh baby~"

Meanwhile, in Konoha, at the Hokage Building.

"What? Something like this actually happened in Sunagakure?!" Tsunade's expression was grave as she stared intently at the letter in her hand, which bore the official seal of Sunagakure at the bottom.

Jiraiya, leaning against the desk nearby, spoke in a low voice.

"I never expected the Akatsuki organization to be so bold as to attack a Kage for the sake of the tailed beasts."

"Sigh--" Tsunade let out a sigh, slowly folded the letter, turned to look at Jiraiya, and asked.

"Sunagakure is asking for our help. Since the enemy was able to capture the Kazekage, their strength must be extraordinary. If we send ordinary jonin, I fear they will be like sheep entering a tiger's den!"

Jiraiya waved his hand helplessly. "As the Hokage, you must oversee the big picture and cannot leave, and I still have to deal with the aftermath of yesterday's events, so I am also unable to spare myself..."

At this point, Jiraiya's eyes suddenly brightened as if he had thought of something. He raised a finger and continued.

"I have a plan. Why not send Team 7? With Naruto paired with Kakashi, plus your prize pupil, it should be foolproof!"

"Send Naruto?!" Tsunade was stunned, a wry smile appearing on her face. "I'm worried that if there are some loose-lipped people in Sunagakure, they might provoke Naruto, and I fear that Sunagakure might instead be..."

Tsunade didn't finish her sentence, but the implication was self-evident.

Jiraiya fell silent as well.

However, a moment later.

The corners of his mouth curled into a smile.

"I believe that won't happen! After all, Sunagakure has no grudge against Naruto, so such a thing surely won't occur!"

Hearing this, the look of helplessness on Tsunade's face deepened.

In this world, even without a grudge, there is no shortage of people with sharp tongues...

But given the current situation, there was truly no better option, so she had to nod and say.

"Then let it be done!"

Before long.

"Knock, knock--" Naruto, who was working on his arm strength in the living room, felt a trace of surprise when he heard the knocking at the door.

Someone was actually coming to see him at this hour?!

Thinking this, Naruto opened the door in confusion.

Kakashi and Sakura came into view.

Before Naruto could even ask.

Sakura spoke up anxiously, unable to wait: "Naruto! The Akatsuki organization has launched a surprise attack on Sunagakure, and the Kazekage Gaara has been abducted! Lady Tsunade has ordered Team 7 to go and provide reinforcements!"

"Oh?!" Hearing this, Naruto's eyes flashed.

According to the timeline, it was about time.

At this moment, Gaara should have been knocked out and taken away by Patrick Star, oh no...

By Deidara.

"Naruto, are you going?" Kakashi asked.

After all, if Naruto were unwilling to go, who would dare to force him?

His strength was plain for all to see!

However.

Upon hearing this, Naruto immediately grinned and declared in a loud voice.

"Go? Why wouldn't I go! I love nothing more than fleecing people!"
