"Besides that, there's another guy named Kakuzu."
"He's lived for almost a hundred years, possesses five hearts, and is proficient in Ninjutsu of five different elements."
"And a Jashin Cult named Hidan, who possesses immortality."
"As long as you obtain the opponent's blood, you can perform a Death Controlling Possessed Blood curse to kill them."
Upon hearing this information, Tsunade was shocked and gasped.
Five hearts? Immortality?
Tsunade placed her hands on the table, her face filled with shock.
"How can so many monsters be gathered together in the Shinobi World! Are you sure this information is accurate?"
"Absolutely true."
Although Xin did not mention Nagato, Obito, or other members.
But the information about these few people was enough to surprise Tsunade for quite some time.
Tsunade took several deep breaths before she could barely process the shocking information brought by Uchiha Xin.
She rubbed her throbbing temples, her expression becoming unusually serious.
"This intelligence is too important; a high-level meeting must be convened immediately."
Tsunade looked at Xin, her tone softening considerably.
"You've just gotten back, go see the old man from Third Hokage ago first. His health hasn't been good these past two years, and he often talks about you."
Upon hearing this, Xin frowned slightly.
He then realized something was wrong; this was a situation he hadn't encountered before when reporting intelligence.
The Third Hokage Hiruzen Sarutobi, would usually sit to the side and listen, but he did not appear today.
"What happened to Lord Third Hokage?"
Xin asked casually.
Tsunade sighed, her eyes dimming. "You'll see for yourself if you go to Konoha Hospital."
Xin didn't ask any more questions, turned around and left the Hokage's office, going straight to the special care ward of Konoha Hospital.
Pushing open the door to the ward, a strong smell of medicine hit me.
Xin walked to the bedside.
Looking at the Third Hokage lying lifeless on the bed, so thin he was just skin and bones, I couldn't help but feel a little surprised.
Only then did he realize that the Third Hokage had completely exhausted their life force.
This is a serious aftereffect of the battle with Orochimaru, even though Shin saved the Third Hokage's life at the time.
However, the backlash from the Reaper Death Seal and his aged body ultimately exhausted the old man's last bit of life.
Hearing the noise, the Third Hokage struggled to open his cloudy eyes.
After recognizing Xin, she gave a weak smile.
"It's Xin... you're finally back..."
The Third Hokage's voice was weak and feeble, as if he could stop breathing at any moment.
"Old man, you're not in good shape."
Xin pulled up a chair and sat down. His tone was calm, but without his usual teasing.
The Third Hokage, weak and feeble, chatted with him for a few moments about the changes in the village over the past two years, his breathing becoming increasingly rapid.
He stared intently at Xin, a final glimmer of light flashing in his cloudy eyes, as if he wanted to ask Xin about his feelings for Konoha before he died.
"Xin... you child, your strength is unfathomable... I only want to know... if Konoha faces a calamity, you...?"
Before he could finish speaking, the Third Hokage began coughing violently, and he had no strength left to finish his sentence.
Xin looked at the old man who had devoted his life to Konoha and remained silent for a moment.
"Don't worry, old man."
Xin solemnly made this promise.
"I will protect Konoha."
"Furthermore, I will help Naruto achieve his dream of becoming Hokage; that's something I promised."
Upon hearing these words, the Third Hokage's eyes revealed an expression of extreme satisfaction.
The tense body finally relaxed, the eyelids slowly closed, and it was time to leave.
"Want to die? I haven't agreed yet." Xin sneered inwardly.
Taking advantage of the fact that no one was around, he silently placed his right hand on the Third Hokage's chest and secretly channeled pure Yin-Yang Release power into him.
Although this power could not reverse the aging process of the Third Hokage, it was enough to forcibly prolong his life and barely maintain his vitality for a period of time.
The Third Hokage's breathing gradually calmed down, and he fell into a deep sleep.
Xin stood up, turned around, and left the ward.
As soon as Xin stepped out of the hospital, he bumped into a familiar figure.
Two years have passed, and the timid little girl from back then has now blossomed into a graceful young woman.
Even her loose-fitting training clothes couldn't hide her stunning figure, and her fair face exuded a gentle and graceful charm.
It was Hinata Hyuga.
"Xin... Shin-kun..."
Hinata was taken aback when she saw Xin.
Then her pretty face turned bright red at a speed visible to the naked eye.
She habitually poked her two fingers together in front of her chest, still looking shy.
Looking at the tempting little white rabbit, Xin grinned mischievously, strode forward, and hugged Hinata tightly in his arms.
"Ah!" Hinata exclaimed in surprise.
He blushed instantly, dumbfounded, his mind went blank, and his whole body stiffened like a piece of wood.
Xin felt the softness in his arms and lowered his head.
Seeing Hinata's cheeks flushed red, he prepared to kiss her directly.
At that very moment, when the fire was burning fiercely and the atmosphere was extremely ambiguous...
"Brother Xin! I've finally found you! Let's go eat Ichiraku Ramen!"
Naruto's loud, boisterous voice suddenly came from the street corner.
Hinata, like a startled rabbit, suddenly broke free from Xin's embrace.
" Shin-kun... I... I have an appointment to see my father tonight... I have to go now!"
Hinata stammered out those words, covered her face, and fled in panic, not daring to look back.
Xin remained in the position of preparing to kiss, his entire face instantly turning as black as the bottom of a pot.
He turned his head, his eyes filled with undisguised anger, staring intently at Naruto was running towards him.
Naruto, completely oblivious to Uchiha Xin's anger, continued to enthusiastically extend an invitation.
"Brother Xin, come on, come on, it's on me!"
Xin took a deep breath, suppressing the urge to kill Naruto in the street, and forced a cold smile through gritted teeth.
"You want ramen? No rush."
Xin clenched his fist, and his knuckles cracked.
"It's been two years. Let me test if your skills have declined."
Naruto's eyes lit up with excitement when he heard about the sparring match.
He started boasting wildly about his greatly increased strength. "Great! Brother Xin, don't underestimate me, I'm super strong now!"
The two soon arrived at an empty practice field.
"Come on, let me see how strong you are." Xin stood still, arms crossed.
Naruto shouted and created more than a dozen Shadow Clone, which swarmed towards Xin.
However, just a few minutes later...
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Accompanied by a series of dull blows and screams, Naruto's Shadow Clone were completely wiped out.
Naruto's main body was kicked away by Shin, rolling several times on the ground before stopping.
At this moment, Naruto was beaten black and blue, his eyes were swollen like a panda's, and there was blood in the corner of his mouth.
"Brother Xin... you went too far..." Naruto covered his face, wincing in pain.
"Is that all you've got? What other tricks do you have up your sleeve? Show them off, or I'll keep beating you." Xin mocked coldly and mercilessly.
Naruto gritted his teeth, his eyes defiant. "You forced me to do this!"
