“Now, take off your Anbu uniforms, go drink, go eat, go party, and go relax!
Do you understand!” Shin shouted at everyone, projecting the demeanor of his past life as a special forces instructor.
“Understood!” the Anbu replied in unison.
‘I didn’t expect him to be so imposing when he gets serious,’ Tsunade thought to herself, watching Shin like a devoted wife.
“Dismissed!” Shin shouted, and the 120 people immediately dispersed.
“Not a bad performance.
A few words and they already like you,” Tsunade said to Shin after the Anbu left.
“Hehe, you have to hit the snake where it hurts.
Isn’t a normal life what these guys yearn for the most?” After the Anbu members dispersed, Shin returned to his previous weak appearance and laughed.
Dealing with a sis-con like Tsunade required this kind of disguise.
“It’s getting late.
We should head back too,” Tsunade said, looking at the setting sun.
“It’s only seven o’clock…
You still have three hours before you get off work,” Shin said.
“Doesn’t matter, doesn’t matter!
Today’s work is already finished.” After hearing this, Tsunade bolted.
“Let’s go to the tavern for a drink!”
“Everyone else is still out there risking their lives.
Is it really okay for you to go drinking like this?” Shin said, following behind Tsunade.
“They’ll definitely be fine!” Tsunade said confidently.
Meanwhile, Kakashi and the others had already defeated Itachi’s clone.
After analyzing the person lying on the ground, they discovered it wasn’t his true body.
Chiyo also recognized that this person was a jonin from their village.
“It looks like things have ended on your end as well,” Kisame said in the distance.
The two opened their eyes almost simultaneously.
“Yeah, the chakra is exhausted,” Itachi nodded and said.
“About thirty percent of the chakra was used on the sacrifice.
Although it’s a convenient ninjutsu that can create a clone of us, the amount of chakra allocated is not much, and relatively speaking, the power and ninjutsu that can be used are also limited,” Kisame said, turning to look at Itachi.
“However, it was enough to buy time,” Itachi said.
Afterward, the two shifted their focus back to the cave where Gaara was being sealed.
After defeating the Itachi created by the Shapeshifting Technique, Chiyo told Naruto and the others about Jinchuriki.
Now, Naruto finally knew that he was a Jinchuriki, and this was also the first time they had heard about Jinchuriki.
After hearing that Naruto was also a Jinchuriki, Sakura became very worried about him.
She didn’t want Naruto to become a weapon of war.
“Zetsu, go dispose of the two bodies used for the Shapeshifting Technique,” Pain said to Zetsu.
“I understand,” Zetsu said, and immediately went to dispose of the bodies.
“Itachi, tell me their numbers and characteristics,” Pain continued, looking at Itachi.
“A four-man team consisting of Kakashi Hatake from Konoha, Sakura Haruno, Nine-Tails Jinchuriki Naruto Uzumaki, and Advisor Chiyo from Sunagakure.”
Upon hearing Itachi mention Chiyo, Sasori was stunned.
He hadn’t expected Chiyo to come as well.
At that moment, Sasori was likely thinking: “Damn it, you can’t beat me, so you’re calling your parents?”
On Guy’s side, he was somewhat exhausted from opening the Sixth Gate.
Although he claimed to be fine, he still ended up crashing headfirst into a tree.
“You don’t look fine at all!” Tenten and the others fell from the trees and said, looking at Guy.
“There’s no help for it.
Since we just used Morning Peacock, we’d better find a place to rest,” Neji said, looking at Guy.
Thus, having no choice, the group could not continue their journey.
Naruto’s side also settled down temporarily, waiting until tomorrow to make contact with the Akatsuki Organization.
They had been traveling non-stop, and their condition was too poor.
This rest lasted the whole night, and because they were close to the enemy, someone needed to get up and take turns keeping watch.
The most exhausted ones were the Akatsuki group.
For the past few days, they had been extracting the Tailed Beast without sleep or rest.
“Alright!
Rest is over!” In the middle of the night, Guy suddenly opened his eyes and shouted, waking everyone up.
It was now Neji’s turn to keep watch.
“Guy-sensei, are you okay now?” Rock Lee said, looking at Guy.
“Mm…
I’m full of energy now!
What a refreshing wake-up!” Guy said, giving Rock Lee a thumbs-up.
“Neji?” Pakkun looked up at Neji, who was keeping watch, signaling to see if they could continue the journey.
“No problem.
My recovery speed is amazing,” Neji nodded and said.
“Mm.” Pakkun also nodded, then looked at Tenten.
“The rest is…”
“Yes, I’m fine.” Tenten also immediately nodded and stood up.
“Good, to make up for the time lost during our rest, we will proceed at double our previous speed,” Guy said with a smile, looking at everyone.
“Eh!?” As soon as Tenten woke up and heard Guy say this, she was so scared she almost fell back asleep.
They had been traveling at full speed the whole way, and as a girl, Tenten’s stamina wasn’t on par with theirs.
“No, we should proceed at triple the speed.
That way, we can arrive before the scheduled time!” Rock Lee said, clenching his fists beside Guy.
“Alright, everyone, this is a rare opportunity.
Let’s proceed at quadruple the speed!” Guy said after hearing Rock Lee’s words, holding up four fingers.
Even Neji was shocked, and a drop of cold sweat fell from Tenten’s forehead.
“Oh?
What’s wrong?” Guy said after noticing their expressions.
“No matter how you look at it, that’s impossible,” Neji said helplessly.
“I’ve said it so many times, don’t play this trick again,” Tenten also shouted, spreading her hands.
“Guy-sensei, that’s why I said triple the speed,” Rock Lee said after hearing their complaints.
“Lee, that’s not what we meant at all…” Pakkun couldn’t help but retort.
Afterward, the four of them continued their journey in the deep night at their previous speed.
At this point, there wasn’t much time left until dawn.
Meanwhile, the Akatsuki Organization had entered the final stage.
Soon, it was dawn.
Guy’s team and Naruto’s team were still traveling and would soon arrive at their destination.
“It’s really unsettling,” Neji said suddenly.
“What’s wrong, Neji?” Rock Lee asked, looking at Neji.
“Enemies?” Tenten also asked.
“No, just the opposite.
I can’t feel the enemy’s presence at all.
This makes me a bit suspicious, especially since they went as far as using that ninjutsu just to delay us,” Neji shook his head and said.
“Does that mean there’s no longer any need to delay us?” Tenten said with some hesitation.
“Could it be that it’s already too late?” Rock Lee also said.
Naruto’s side also realized this.
Thinking of Gaara’s situation, Naruto became even more anxious.
His eyes even turned into the Nine-Tails’ eyes, and he couldn’t help but speed up, almost leaving Kakashi and the others behind.
Seeing Naruto so anxious, Chiyo was also a bit confused, so Kakashi explained Naruto’s situation to her.
He told Chiyo that Naruto was a Jinchuriki, the same kind of Jinchuriki as Gaara.
To Naruto, Gaara was a companion who understood the same pain.
