Gaara

"It's alright, it's only natural. Water Gate, you've worked hard these past years. Don't worry about Naruto. I won't harm Naruto's life."

After speaking, Water Gate looked at Kangetsu gratefully and said respectfully, "Thank you, Kangetsu- sensei."

The Water Gate slowly rose.

At that moment, Kangetsu looked at White Fang and said, "White Fang, it's time. It's time to destroy Konoha."

The casual words startled White Fang.

Kangetsu gazed into the distance at the statues of the four Hokage.

At this moment, Kangetsu coldly said, "Among these four statues lies my blood pool. My blood pool needs power to replenish it. When Nagato attacked Konoha, all the lower-level ninjas were abandoned, the strong mid-level ninjas were kept, and the weak high-level ninjas were all eliminated. As for the ordinary people, what use are they?"

White Fang, scarlet eyes filled with murderous intent, and an aura of slaughter emanating from his entire body.

"Yes, Lord Kangetsu!"

White Fang, a bloodthirsty glint in his eyes.

Slaughter; Kangetsu is known as the God of Slaughter. White Fang is the one who inherited the title of Slaughter.

Kangetsu, her gaze slightly cold, looked at Water Gate. A cold smile appeared on her lips as she slowly said, "Water Gate, you don't need to lift a finger this time to rescue Gaara. Let Naruto handle everything. The members of 'Akatsuki' are the trial stones I arranged for Naruto Sasuke."

The casual words startled Water Gate.

Water Gate, looking at Kangetsu, couldn't help but say, "Lord Kangetsu, in terms of strength, Naruto and Sasuke have already surpassed most of the Akatsuki members. This time, Deidara and Sasori are no match for Naruto at all."

Kangetsu nodded and looked at Water Gate.

His fingers tapped incessantly on the table before he finally said, "Sasori and Deidara are indeed no match for Sasuke and Naruto. However, in terms of combat experience, those who have stepped out of the battlefield are far superior to ordinary people. What Naruto and Sasuke need right now is precisely that kind of experience."

Water Gate nodded.

Time passed, and the night grew hazy.

Inside a cave, a dim Kakkō flickered.

Two people are sitting here.

A shark-faced man looked at the man opposite him and said, "Itachi, Akatsuki's plan has already begun. We're in charge of the Four-Tails. However, the Four-Tails can only be captured after the One-Tail is sealed. I wonder if Deidara and Sasori have succeeded yet?"

Itachi, his face cold and his eyes crimson, surveyed his surroundings. Finally, he said coldly, "The One-Tail should be fine. As for the Four-Tails, Kisame, your Ninjutsu is perfect against it. You'll be in charge of capturing it."

Kisame nodded, and slowly moved the branch in his hand across the flames in front of him.

At that moment, Itachi slowly stood up and walked out of the cave.

Outside the cave, a weasel, its scarlet eyes fixed on the moon.

A phantom image appears.

Itachi, looking at the illusory figure, said calmly, "Grandpa."

The person who arrived was Kangetsu.

Kangetsu looked at Itachi, and also at the moon.

Kangetsu, a green light appeared once again on his right hand. This light directly merged into Itachi's body.

At this moment, Itachi's pale face regained some color.

Itachi looked at Kangetsu and then said, "Grandpa, what brings you here?"

"Sasuke, you've trained for three years. It's time for you to appear."

Kangetsu's indifferent words reached Itachi's ears.
