"How long will it take for you to recover?"
In a cave hundreds of meters away from Gorge, Madara Uchiha placed the screaming Kai smoothly on the ground. Although Madara had tried his best to be as gentle as possible, Kai in his current state still let out bursts of screams.
Eight Gates Formation, Although this technique is very powerful, its side effects should not be underestimated.
"It should take me a few hours to regain some mobility, but it will take several days to fully recover."
At this time, Kai already felt a little regretful.
In the territory of Land of Lightning, I directly opened Seventh Gate in order to compete with Ban. Now, at least within a few hours, I have completely become a burden to Madara.
Needless to say, if Madara wants to maximize his own interests, it is definitely a shortcut to directly attack and kill Kai, who is in extremely poor physical condition. After all, if Kai is here, there will always be a threat to Madara.
But now, Madara Uchiha looked at Kai lying on the ground and giggled, and couldn't do anything.
Uchiha Clan people cannot tolerate betrayal, and they will not betray their companions. Now Kai is the companion chosen by Madara himself for this mission. He will naturally try his best to bring this guy back safely.
"This place is still not safe enough right now. We still need to stay away from Capital of Land of Lightning. Tanaka Qinghai is dead. This may alarm Raikage. If Raikage leads an elite force to pursue us, we will definitely be in danger. We need you to be patient a little longer. I will take you for a while."
After hearing what Madara said, Kai nodded without any objection. Madara's plan was indeed the safest way to take him away.
"Young man, you are worthy of being my opponent! Wow!"
Kai also knew that Madara actually had a second option to choose from, such as abandoning him or killing himself and then return to the village alone.
There are not a few Ninja who do this, but after Kai fought Madara for the first time, he roughly understood the temperament of his little opponent. He was by no means a person who would abandon his companions casually.
A large part of the reason why Kai can open Seventh Gate and help Madara deal with Root is because Kai feels that Madara, like himself, is to some extent a martial arts idiot who likes to fight strong people. How can such a person be a bad person?
Madara Uchiha ignored Kai's thumbs up and his iconic smile. He turned over a big Byakugan in his heart and immediately picked Kai up, causing Kai to let out another miserable howl.
"You'll have to hold back from now on."
Among Moonlit Night, Madara carried Kai on his back and galloped away in the direction of Land of Fire. Along the way, Madara made some misleading marks from time to time to confuse Kumogakure ninja who might be chasing him. Finally, with Madara's caution, he succeeded in holding on until Kai could move on his own.
"Did your father teach you this anti-tracking ability? It's so good!"
Witnessing Madara's anti-tracking ability along the way, even Kai, who was very experienced in doing tasks, couldn't help but praise Madara.
If Kai were asked to rate Madara now, he would definitely rate Madara as Jōnin, because Madara has proven his excellence based on his strength, character and experience.
"Stop talking nonsense."
Madara Uchiha completely ignored Kai's compliment and just ran towards Land of Fire.
Kai, who was behind Madara, smiled knowingly at Madara Uchiha's indifference. How could two of his opponents be so duplicitous?
Under Madara's leadership, Madara and Kai secretly returned to Konoha without incident. After returning to Konoha, Madara Uchiha took Kai directly to Third Hokage's office overnight. At this time, Third Hokage and the two Konoha Senior Advisor had been waiting here for a long time.
"Uchiha Itachi, your father will be proud of you!"
After killing Tanaka Qinghai, Madara Uchiha has completed four consecutive S-level missions. Such strength and performance made Utatane Koharu, who had always been prejudiced against the Uchiha Clan, smile after seeing Madara Uchiha.
Due to the outstanding performance of Madara Uchiha, the subordinates of Shinhiko Kōzuki have decided to double the material support for Konoha next year. This is the first time since Third Shinobi World War Land of Fire has improved the treatment of Konoha for the first time. With these materials, Ninja of Konoha can live a very prosperous and peaceful life even if he selectively chooses some simple and risk-free tasks.
Utatane Koharu behaved like this, and Third Hokage on the other end looked at Madara Uchiha and became more and more happy.
Completing Shinhiko Kōzuki's mission will naturally make Shinhiko Kōzuki happy, but the real reason why Shinhiko Kōzuki added supplies is probably also because of Madara Uchiha.
"Master Third Hokage, after completing this mission with Itachi, I fully believe that he has the qualifications to become Jōnin. If you want to nominate Itachi to become Jōnin, I am willing to vouch for Itachi's strength and quality in all aspects."
Kai, who was laughing and joking in front of others, put away his showmanship in front of Third Hokage and turned into a very reliable Jōnin image.
Seeing Kai praising Madara so much, Third Hokage and the two Konoha's Senior Advisor also nodded with satisfaction.
"So, what are you going to report to us overnight?"
Third Hokage was relieved to see Kai and Madara return safely, but what kind of news could make Madara so anxious to report to him in the middle of the night?
"Lord Hokage, during our mission this time we found that six people from Root were following us. Before we assassinated Tanaka Qinghai, these six people entered the heavily guarded Land of Lightning in the middle of the night. Capital, after we completed the mission of killing Lord Tanaka Qinghai, these six people intercepted us on our way back, and after a fierce battle we killed all of them, but there is no doubt that Root's action is most likely targeting Uchiha Itachi."
Madara Uchiha chose Might Guy because Madara was proud and felt that only Kai had the strength to be his companion on this trip. What he didn't expect was that Root would assassinate him during this mission.
Now, with Kai, a powerful Ninja who has no power and is completely neutral, endorsing Madara, it can be said that it has completely become the last move to checkmate Danzo.
After all, if Madara chooses Shisui or Hayato, Danzo can also be said to be colluding with his friends, and Kai himself is purely neutral. There is no need for him to get involved in this internal dispute between Root and Uchiha Clan.
"You said that Root wanted to ventilate Ninja in the case of killing Uchiha Itachi and Kumogakure!"
Utatane Koharu, who had been happy for two or three days because Tanaka Qinghai was killed, stood up in shock after hearing Kai's report. On the other side, Third Hokage and Mitokado Homura also frowned.
