When Naruto's words fell, the Konoha Xiaoqiang present were all shocked.

What the?

Sasuke is back!?

At this time, because he was eager to know about Sasuke's situation, Naruto didn't explain much to everyone, but just quickly jumped forward and immediately rushed towards the direction of the forest!

Several Xiaoqiang's faces were solemn, at such a time, Sasuke's sudden appearance was probably not good news.

"Shikamaru, are you going?"

On the side, Ino, who had a trace of golden bangs hanging from his forehead, frowned and asked Shikamaru.

After all, in the "Pig Deer Butterfly" combination, Shikamaru has always been everyone's brainstorm, and Akido Dingji and the oil girl Shino and others on the side also looked at Shikamaru.

In the face of everyone's inquiries, Shikamaru nodded heavily.

"No matter what happens, we can't leave Naruto alone!"

"Let's go, I feel that Sasuke's return this time may not be so simple, but even if he wants to be bad for Naruto, there are still us!"

As his words fell, I saw him take the lead and move ahead of everyone, following Naruto.

The rest of Xiaoqiang glanced at each other, and their faces were a little solemn, but they all immediately followed.

"Boom ......"

At this moment, in the middle of the forest, a giant tree collapsed.

"Bang!"

I saw a white cloud of smoke and dust suddenly spread directly around the collapsed giant tree.

Standing in front of the fallen trees, Sasuke's expression was very indifferent, and the scarlet blood wheel eyes slowly turned calm.

Ryosuke, who had been watching the battle quietly, suddenly jumped over at this time, and his freckled face showed a curious expression, and he exclaimed.

"Eh, is this guy a doppelganger?"

"I can't see it at all......"

Sasuke glanced at him and explained with a slightly cold expression.

"Konoha's Shadow Clone Technique......"

"I'm afraid our whereabouts have been exposed, and if we can't find Naruto's guy and kill him as soon as possible, there will be Konoha ninjas coming to deal with us soon......"

Hearing this, Ryosuke couldn't help but froze his expression, and then slapped his head with both hands and shouted in a panic.

"Then why don't we run, Hey, Sasuke, you don't want to challenge all the ninjas in Konoha Village on your own, do you?"

Sasuke pursed his lips slightly, not saying a word.

Seeing this, Ryosuke couldn't help but smile bitterly, his eyes still looked around vigilantly, and muttered in a low voice.

"Although we are now members of the Ethereal Spirit Empire, it doesn't mean that just the two of us can ignore the forces of those ninja villages......

"As someone from Konoha Village, you should know better how powerful those ninjas are......"

Sasuke glanced at him coldly and said coldly.

"Enough is enough, if enough is enough, come with me to Naruto Uzumaki......"

Hearing this, Ryosuke's body trembled, shook his head to himself, felt a sense of self-pity, and muttered in a low voice.

"I'm afraid that sooner or later, the two of us will be sliced and studied by the Konoha ninjas......"

"When the time comes, even if there is over-speed regeneration, it will be useless......"

……………………

Just when Sasuke killed the shadow clone of the hood.

Located in Konoha Village, under the mask of the "White Tiger" who had just left the Hokage Building, Dou's expression changed suddenly!

Sasuke is back!?

He said he was looking for Naruto...... Damn it... Is it a conspiracy of the Ethereal Empire?

Naruto must be notified quickly...... No... The most important thing now is to tell the Hokage and Tsunade first!

The thoughts in his mind flashed quickly, and without the slightest hesitation, Dou turned around directly and immediately rushed towards the Hokage Building!

Meanwhile.

It is located in Konoha Village, which has been restored.

The house of the Hyuga clan has been renovated, and as the number one family of Konoha, it is for all kinds of concealment, or for the pride of the family.

The various houses of the Hyuga clan were built without the help of the six generations of rope trees.

Even if this is something that can be done easily for the Thousand Hands Rope Tree.

At this moment.

No one could have imagined that an uninvited guest would appear here.

Hyuga was standing outside the gate of the Hyuga clan, and no one even knew how he had avoided the barrier of Konoha Village and entered.

He slowly raised his head, and there was no superfluous expression on his resolute face.

His pale eyes calmly looked at the quaint mansion in front of him, which had been rebuilt, but had not changed much from before.

The boy who was once engraved with the curse mark of "Caged Bird" on his forehead, his fate has been predestined, and now he is no longer what it used to be.

I'm afraid no one would have thought that the weak young man who split up his family back then couldn't even change his own fate...... Now he will stand in front of this family in such a posture.

It was a completely different sense, looking down on the small family in front of him with a high posture.

It is the self-confidence that comes from the strength of transcending mortals and leaping towards a higher dimension.

That's the favor I have received since I followed him......

Although since the rebellion of the Hyuga people, in the history of the Hyuga clan. ，

Hinata Hinata and Hinata are because of the relationship between twin brothers, and the relationship between the family and the clan is not bad.

But the tradition of the "caged bird" has not been abolished.

This is also the reason why Hyuga Soji and the others are willing to defect to the Void Night Palace, of course, all of this is not important to the Hyuga people who have gradually transformed their lives to another level.

It's important that these members who once belonged to a family can dedicate their lives to Lord Aizen!

"Even if it changes, it's not what I care about anymore......"

"For me, if your passing can solve the troubles of Lord Aizen, that's the most valuable thing......

As Hinata Jiren's words fell, he only saw that he was calm, strode forward, and stepped in directly!

The center of Konoha Village.

Located in the iconic Hokage Building, Tsunade's eyes widened suddenly, his brows furrowed, and he said in some surprise.

"What! Sasuke is back, and the target is still Naruto?"

"Yes, Tsunade-sama, and Naruto is currently cultivating at the waterfall outside the village, I'm afraid they may encounter ...... directly"

The Senju Rope Tree, who was sitting on the Hokage's main seat on the side, hadn't changed much on his face until now.

He folded his hands together, crossed his fingers against his chin, and his eyes showed a slight thought, and he said after a while.

"If I'm not mistaken, Sasuke should have defected to join the Ethereal Empire before that......"

"So... Now that he's back to find Naruto's whereabouts, is it a conspiracy arranged by the Ethereal Empire, or is it some idea of his own?"

Hearing his words, the two people present were stunned.

Tsunade frowned, confused.

"Is there any difference between the two?"

Hearing her words, the eyes of the Thousand Hand Rope Tree flashed with a slight light of remembrance, and it was just a flash, and he said slowly.

"If it's just Sasuke's own thoughts, it will be much easier, and he doesn't need special care for Naruto's follow-up protection......"

"But if the Ethereal Spirit Empire is eyeing Naruto, or if the purpose is to make Sasuke and Naruto intersect, you must be vigilant......"

"You should also know that his thoughts are always incomprehensible......"

Hearing his words, Tsunade's expression darkened imperceptibly, but he quickly adjusted his mood and said in a deep voice.

"Anyway, if you catch Sasuke now, all this should be a clue!"

"And if Sasuke is captured, it will also make great progress in understanding the information of the Ethereal Spirit Empire...... Otherwise, just relying on this little bit of information now, we are completely unfamiliar with the Ethereal Spirit Empire, not to mention their purpose, and we don't even know what level their current strength has reached!"

What Tsunade is talking about is the current situation in the ninja world, the major ninja villages and the Ethereal Spirit Empire.

Because of the difference in strength in all aspects, coupled with the fact that the major ninja villages have not formed a ninja alliance at present, their cooperation with each other is weak.

In the face of the ethereal spirit empire with strange abilities, they simply could not organize an effective force to infiltrate the interior of the ethereal spirit empire.

In addition, some small ninja villages have completely surrendered to the Ethereal Spirit Empire.

Therefore, for the major ninja villages, unless they can unite and work together against the Ethereal Spirit Empire, everything is whimsical.

After hearing Tsunade's words, Rope Tree nodded, thought for a moment, and spoke.

"In that case, I'll take a look at it too......"

Tsunade and Dou were stunned, there was no need for Rope Tree, who was the Hokage, to go, after all, it was just to deal with a young Uchiha descendant.

As if guessing the doubts of the two, Rope Tree glanced at the two of them and said softly.

"I still know a little bit about the Ethereal Empire, and after seeing Sasuke in person, I might understand something......"

"And...... Since Sasuke came here directly, I'm worried that there will be a backhand of the Ethereal Spirit Empire behind him, and I can't be too careful in the face of such an enemy......"

After listening to his words, Tsunade nodded, and he also had a deep understanding of this.

In fact, the various battles with that man in recent years have really made them a little afraid......

There is always a feeling that all your actions are under the control of the other party!

This kind of powerlessness is something that no one will like!

Then, the three of them, along with the rope tree, plus a group of ninjas from the surrounding shadows, quickly disappeared into the Hokage's office.

Meanwhile.

Located in the Void Night Palace, the pale and mottled palace sits on the side of the cliff as silent as ever.

In a dark hall inside, rattan-like monsters were tumbling and wriggling slightly, until they climbed to a stone chair, and then quietly formed a frame holding a mirror.

On the chair, a lazy girl reclined on it.

She was oblivious to the shadows that flickered in the dark corners around her, a smile on her lips, and a pair of beautiful eyes staring at it with interest.

"Come on...... Let me see what is hidden in you......"

And at the same time.

Located in the deepest part of the Void Night Palace, the door is open, but the interior is dark, there is no light, and no one knows what is happening inside.
