"This must be the Jashin Cult's headquarters," Kakashi said.
"It should be," Sasuke replied. "We followed those people all the way here, and look, there's an altar here too. This has to be their headquarters."
Naruto looked around and said, "Then should we go in and wipe them all out now?"
Kakashi shook his head. "Don't rush in. Besides eliminating the Jashin Cult, we're also tasked with investigating their immortal bodies. Let's see what they're planning first.

"The fourth?" Naruto exclaimed. "Heh, that's Sasuke for you. You're a real genius, reaching the fourth stage so quickly. Does that mean you don't need to spend so much
