The Kazekage Returns

On the water's surface, a figure emerged from the water—it was Jue. Jue walked step by step into the cave, casually kicking aside the puppet on the ground, and walked towards the puppet body of the Sasori of the Red Sand.

Looking at the dead Sasori of the Red Sand, Zetsu murmured, "So this is the true form of Sasori of the Red Sand? I never imagined that you, Scorpion, would choose death."

Just then, a figure scurried Earth Flow and said, "Senior, wait for me." He walked a few steps to Sasori of the Red Sand and took the ring off Scorpion's hand.

The newcomer wore a spiral mask with only one eye; it was Tobi. Tobi tossed a ring into the air and said, "If I have this ring, I can become a member of the organization, right? Anyway, the organization is short-handed right now."

He ignored Tobi and left. Tobi was startled and failed to catch the ring, which fell into the crevice. Tobi immediately shouted, "Wait, senior, wait..." He could only awkwardly reach out and grope for the fallen ring, looking extremely clumsy. Who would have thought that he was one of the masterminds behind the Akatsuki and the initiator of the Fourth Shinobi World War?

Uzumaki Hane walked quickly and soon arrived at the group. Naruto, Sakura, Kakashi, Might Guy, Neji, Rock Lee, Tenten were all unharmed, which relieved Uzumaki Hane.

At this moment, Gaara had already woken up, and everyone present was looking at Chiyo, who was lying Chiyo in Sakura's arms, sleeping eternally.

Uzumaki Hane knew that Chiyo must have used "One's Own Life Reincarnation" to save Gaara at the cost of her own life.

Uzumaki Hane remained silent, not wanting to break the silence, and stood there quietly.

It took a long time before anyone noticed Uzumaki Hane's arrival.

Naruto was the first to reach Uzumaki Hane and asked, "Uzumaki Hane, are you alright?"

Xuan Yu said, "I'm fine."

Meanwhile, Might Guy and the others gathered around, exchanging pleasantries.

Then, the group left together and headed towards Sunagakure.

The next morning, they arrived at the gates of Sunagakure. Temari had already sent a report back to Sunagakure, and everyone in the Sunagakure was waiting at the gates for their Lord Kazekage's return.

Supported by Gaara and Kankuro, Naruto walked at the front, with the others following behind, step by step towards the gates of Sunagakure.

Everyone cheered upon seeing Gaara's return.

Gaara reached the door, where Buggy was already waiting to greet him, saying respectfully, "Lord Kazekage, welcome back."

Gaara said, "Thanks to everyone this time." After saying that, he turned around and looked behind him, where Chiyo's corpse lay.

Everyone made way for Chiyo as she slowly entered Sunagakure.

Ten kilometers from Sunagakure, in the desert, sandstorms raged. Uzumaki Hane and Gaara stood face to face, ten meters apart. A hundred meters away, Naruto, Sakura, Neji, Might Guy, Kakashi, Tenten, Rock Lee, Uzumaki Hane Gaara, Kankuro Temari the battle with bated breath.

Gaara looked at Uzumaki Hane and said, "I've always wanted to fight you again, but unfortunately, I haven't had the chance."

Uzumaki Hane spirit surged, a slight smile playing on his lips. He said, "I've been looking forward to this too. Today, let's have a battle. Let's begin, Gaara."

Gaara's Chakra began to boil, and the surrounding sand began to condense into a sand stream that swirled around him.

Uzumaki Hane's right hand rapidly turned into lava, with magma rolling on it, and the surrounding air distorted due to the high temperature.

Gaara waved his right hand, and the Sand Stream beside him rushed towards Uzumaki Hane with incredible speed, arriving in front of Uzumaki Hane in the blink of an eye.

Just as the sand flow was about to hit Uzumaki Hane's body, Uzumaki Hane's expression did not change. He directly grabbed out with his right hand, "Hell Hound," and with a bang, grabbed the sand flow, blocking the impact of the sand flow. Even the sand that came into contact with Uzumaki Hane's lava palm was directly melted.

Seeing this, Gaara waved his hands again, and the sand stream immediately split into two, one on the left and one on the right, bypassing Uzumaki Hane's Magma Arm and attacking Uzumaki Hane from both sides.

Uzumaki Hane's left hand also quickly turned into lava, and he stretched out both hands to the sides. When the sand flow rushed in front of him, two Magma Wall were formed, blocking the incoming sand flow. Bang! The sand flow failed to break through the Magma Wall; instead, the sand on them continued to lava.

At that moment, a stream of sand erupted from the ground in front of Uzumaki Hane, quickly condensing into a giant arm that grabbed directly at him. Uzumaki Hane pushed off with his feet, his body rapidly retreating. Bang! The arm pierced the spot where Uzumaki Hane had been standing, creating a sand pit in the ground, which then shattered into countless grains of sand and merged into it. The two Magma Wall, no longer under Uzumaki Hane's control, could no longer withstand Gaara's sand stream and were directly breached by it.

Gaara moved his hands, and the two streams of sand split into four, reaching out to grab Uzumaki Hane's limbs. Uzumaki Hane tiptoed, retreating continuously, and dodged Gaara's sand attacks.

Then, Uzumaki Hane unleashed a powerful attack with his right hand, a Rock Fist that slammed directly towards Gaara.

Gaara directly controlled the sand, forming a sand wall in front of him to block the Rock Fist. Bang! The Rock Fist shattered the sand wall and turned into lava fragments that fell to the ground.

Uzumaki Hane spun around, nimbly dodging Gaara's sandstorm, and rushed towards Gaara. Suddenly, another enormous sand arm rose from the ground, so huge it seemed to blot out the sky, and grabbed directly at Uzumaki Hane.

Uzumaki Hane roared and unleashed another Rock Fist with his right hand. Bang! It crashed directly into the sand arm, but failed to stop it and was swallowed up by it. The sand arm continued its momentum and charged toward Uzumaki Hane.

Upon seeing this, Uzumaki Hane's expression changed slightly. He continuously unleashed several Rock Fist at Sand Arm, shattering it into countless sand grains that fell to the ground.

Then, Uzumaki Hane shouted, gripped a lava javelin in his right hand, and shot it out. The lava javelin transformed into a red Inazuma and rushed to Gaara in the blink of an eye.

A sand wall appeared in front of Gaara, blocking the lava javelin. Bang! It couldn't stop the lava javelin at all and was pierced through. The lava javelin continued to rush towards Gaara.

The next instant, it pierced through Gaara's body. The onlookers were shocked and let out a few gasps.
