Chapter 754: The Sand Village's Annihilation and Sasuke's Calm
The only thought in Gaara's mind right now was revenge. But in reality, if the Hidden Sand Village hadn't come to attack Konoha, Sasuke wouldn't have vented his anger on them even if he wanted to. Once you decide to step onto the battlefield, death is naturally inevitable.
At this moment, Sasuke had already returned to Konoha. Itachi was not dead! But he didn't know where he had gone. In this situation, Sasuke could only return to Konoha Village first.
And at this moment, in the Konoha Hokage's office! Naruto was sitting and thinking about what to do. Shikamaru, at his side, was waiting for Naruto's consideration.
Not long after Sasuke left, another piece of news came. It was about the Land of Earth and the Land of Lightning. The ninja forces of the Stone Village and the Cloud Village had actually already secretly converged. Their previous various actions were nothing more than a diversion. Now, the ninja forces of both sides had truly concentrated together. They were about to attack Konoha from the direction of the Land of Rice Fields.
The reason they started from the Land of Rice Fields was that the Hidden Sound Village was there. The ninja village under Orochimaru's command, although not large in scale, had developed over the years into an incredibly powerful ninja village. So, if they wanted to deal with Konoha, if they attacked from other directions, they might be ambushed by the Hidden Sound. Although the losses wouldn't be too great, it would be a nuisance, and it might even cause the ninja forces of the two countries to get bogged down in a quagmire of war, unable to extricate themselves. At that time, the beneficiary would definitely be Konoha.
So, the Stone Village and the Cloud Village might as well join forces and take the opportunity to wipe out the Hidden Sound Village before Konoha could react. This way, it would also be considered as eliminating Konoha's support, making Konoha even more isolated and helpless. It would also be a warning to other ninja villages not to think about aiding Konoha. Otherwise, the Stone Village and the Cloud Village would make a move first and wipe out these small ninja villages.
At this moment, the ninja of both sides were already engaged in battle with the Hidden Sound Village in the Land of Rice Fields. Orochimaru had already taken the elite of the Hidden Sound Village and left the Land of Rice Fields, and his whereabouts were unknown.
The moment Sasuke returned to the office, Naruto looked up at him. "You're back?"
Naruto wanted to ask Sasuke what he thought about this matter, but then he remembered that Itachi had just died. At this time, Sasuke's mood was probably not good. Asking him would only add to his troubles.
"Go back and rest well! Sasuke!"
"Sarada still needs you to take care of her!" If Itachi was really dead, then it would naturally be Sasuke's turn to take care of Sarada. After all, he was her uncle!
But Sasuke just smiled. "Don't worry for now!"
"Because Itachi isn't dead!"
Hearing this, Naruto was also taken aback, then smiled. "Are you telling the truth?"
"Really!"
Naruto nodded. "That's great!"
Itachi was indeed not so easy to be killed. His strength was almost the strongest in all of Konoha, besides Naruto. Of course, that was when Sasuke wasn't around. And all along, the reason Naruto dared to leave Konoha at will was because Itachi was still there. As long as Itachi was there, there was no need to worry about any problems. With Shikamaru plus Itachi, even if Naruto wasn't there, the problems in Konoha could be handled well.
Now, learning that Itachi wasn't really dead, even Naruto was very happy.
"Where is Itachi?"
Sasuke shook his head. "I don't know!"
Don't know? Uh! What did that mean?
"Didn't you say he wasn't dead?"
"I used the Impure World Reincarnation on Itachi, but it failed, so Itachi isn't dead!"
Impure World Reincarnation? The two of them were taken aback, then looked at Sasuke. "You know how to use the Impure World Reincarnation Technique?"
Sasuke smiled. "I was with Orochimaru for a long time! You think I wouldn't have learned it?"
That was true.
"Wait!" Suddenly, Shikamaru sensed a problem. "You just said you performed the Impure World Reincarnation on Itachi?"
Sasuke nodded. "Ah! Right!"
Shikamaru was taken aback. "The Impure World Reincarnation requires a living person as a..." He didn't continue.
Naruto on the side was also stunned. Their first reaction was that Sasuke had gone and found someone at random to use as a sacrifice to perform the Impure World Reincarnation Technique.
But Sasuke waved his hand. "Don't worry, I used an enemy from the Hidden Sand Village!"
Hearing this, Naruto frowned. "The Hidden Sand Village? You went to the Hidden Sand Village?"
"No, I went to the front-line battlefield in the direction of the Sand!"
"So you captured a Sand ninja..."
"No, I captured the Second Kazekage!"
Using the Second Kazekage as a sacrifice to reincarnate Itachi Uchiha... Shikamaru didn't know what to say. Wait, if he had captured the Second Kazekage, did that mean Sasuke had already fought with the Sand ninja?
Shikamaru: "The Sand ninja, how is their combat power? How many of them are there!"
Hearing this, Sasuke gave Shikamaru a faint glance. "There are only about a dozen left now! They should have already returned to the Sand Village!"
What did he mean by only a dozen left?
"Sasuke, did you... wipe out all the Sand ninja?"
The moment Naruto said this, all the ninja in the office were stunned. Wipe them all out? According to the intelligence, there were a full hundred thousand ninja forces in the direction of the Sand Village! And he actually said he wiped them all out!
Sasuke nodded. "Ah! Because I thought Itachi was dead, I was a little upset, so I just took care of the Sand ninja forces on a whim. I used a little too much force, so it can basically be considered a total annihilation!"
When Sasuke finished speaking, even Shikamaru's eyes almost fell to the ground. On a whim... used a little too much force! Was that a matter of a "little"? This was simply world-destroying, okay! What kind of power could wipe out nearly a hundred thousand ninja forces with just a "little too much force"?
"What about Gaara?"
"Not dead! Still has a breath left!"
"The other Kazekage..."
"The other Kazekage... the Fourth and the Third were killed by me!" Sasuke admitted directly.
Naruto opened his mouth, wanting to say something to criticize Sasuke, but as they were enemies, it seemed there was nothing to say about Sasuke killing them. This was war. When they decided to start the war, they should have thought that they would face death. This was not a choice forced upon them by anyone, but their own decision. Since they made the decision, they should bear the consequences.
"I didn't expect you to go out once and directly resolve the crisis in the direction of the Sand Village!" Naruto smiled. "Perhaps at this time, with me leading Konoha, there won't be any real way out!"
Naruto looked at Sasuke. "If you were to be the Hokage of Konoha, what would you do?"
Hearing this, Sasuke was taken aback. "Me?"
"Are you sure? Naruto?"
Naruto nodded. "Speak!"
"Of course, I would directly unify the entire shinobi world. Since the war has already begun, there is no need to show mercy. Your kindness might end up costing the lives of Konoha's ninja!"
"You want world peace, then be prepared to be reviled by all future generations!"
"The hatred of a sea of corpses and blood must be borne by someone!"
"You think you can talk your way to world peace? If that were really possible, then in the beginning, ninja would never have appeared!"
