Naruto, the time-traveling Naruto has an incredible understanding!.

It's normal for Tsunade to worry like this.

Including Naruto and Sasuke, they were actually thinking about this question on their way to the Sand Village.

However, Naruto finally rejected the suggestion of rushing back to the village first.

Because, in Konoha, there is the Otsutsuki.

Although he made it clear that he would not participate in the final battle, as long as he was still in Konoha, he had to protect this place well.

This can be considered as the special rent he should pay for staying in Konoha.

Naruto also informed Tsunade about the Otsutsuki hand fight.

There is a pure Otsutsuki here, and if Black Zetsu enters Konoha, he must take action.

If he doesn't take action, he will have to wait for Naruto and Sasuke to come back to find him.

Otsutsuki Tetsu is a smart man, and Black Zetsu is also a smart man.

Therefore, there is a high probability that Black Zetsu will not choose Konoha.

"Hand-on!?"

"That's right. The village's safety and what you proposed earlier, Naruto, have now been completed."

"Naruto, the war in the ninja world has been going on for a long time."

"This peace of less than ten years was brought about by your strength."

"So, we must win the final victory."

Tsunade wanted to say something else, but when she thought about what Naruto and Sasuke were going to do next, she couldn't help but think in this direction.

"We'll keep an eye out."

"Sasuke, you still have to return to the village and be the Hokage!"

"Sister Tsunade, I'll leave the problems in this village to you for the time being."

"That special energy has appeared in the Sand Village. Now Sasuke and I are heading to the Sand Village."

"Once we complete our mission here, we should be back in the village."

Naruto said with a smile.

Soon, Kakashi joined in.

Half an hour later, the arrangements and discussions on some details were completed.

Naruto and Sasuke left.

The country of Sichuan.

"Naruto, aren't we going to the Sand Village?!"

"Why do we have to stay in this river country?!"

Fu was sitting on the floor inside a hostel, looking at Naruto curiously.

She knows Naruto and Sasuke's personalities very well.

Now, Gaara had a problem.

In fact, this problem is very serious.

Can……

The two chose to rest here...

Are you two tired?

Will not.

It was just a simple journey, and for the two of them, it consumed almost no energy.

So, there is only one possibility...

That is, what is in this River Country is what the two of them care about very much.

"Kawa no Kuni... looks like it's their first target."

"But that's normal. This River Country is a good place for the Kazekage... No, for the Sand Village!"

"It's a good bargaining chip, enough to make the whole village united."

"Besides, Fu...didn't you sense any familiar aura?!"

Sasuke smiled and spoke.

In front of these friends, Sasuke is very patient.

"A familiar scent."

"Sasuke, are you saying that there is that power here as well?!"

"And they were brought from the Sand Village?"

Fu touched her nose.

"In fact, when I followed you out of Takigakure Village, I had already shut down all my senses."

"I just want to come out and travel with you guys."

……

Sasuke covered his forehead when he heard Fu's words.

A look of helplessness, yet a hint of smile.

"Well, Fu's actions can be regarded as recognition of our two partners."

"However, Fu, you must participate fully in the next battle."

"By the way, you can start using the chakra source I left for you here."

"Those chakra essences are some good nutrients!"

As Naruto spoke, the left side of his body began to be parasitized by something similar to the White Zetsu plane.

Soon, a head appeared on Naruto's shoulder.

"See, I told you..."

"These chakra essences are very good nutrients!"

"Immortal Technique: Boiling Escape!"

Naruto blew gently at the new head.

The head that had just formed disappeared immediately.

At the same time, he mobilized King Mu's chakra and instantly cleared out the parasitic spores in his body.

"Um?!",

"Is the battle starting now?!"

"But I'm not ready yet!"

Fu was a little flustered.

Removed the seal on itself.

"I I I..."

"It seems like there are a lot of those things in my body again."

"They are already beginning to devour my chakra."

"Chongming, why didn't you remind me?!"

"inverse!"

Fu formed seals with her hands, and then all the restricted points of the chakra origin that entered Fu's body were released.

Fu's own chakra quickly poured into these chakras.

At the same time, he entered the tailed beast state.

The parasitic spores that were originally devouring Fu's chakra were all swallowed up by the tailed beast's chakra the next moment.

Those chakra origins made Nanao Shigeaki's power even stronger.

Even without Fu's active operation, it entered the complete tailed beast state.

“This is too cumbersome.”

"Armor Mode!"

Fu clasped her hands together.

Nanao Shigeaki's huge body disappeared, replaced by armor mode.

"Naruto, I seem to be able to control my Tailed Beast transformation better."

"Now, even after entering Armor Mode, I don't think I will enter any weak state again."

Fu was somewhat happy.

"Ah!?"

Just as Fu was happily telling about her gains, she found that Naruto and Sasuke were already walking towards her.

"All the things here have been cleared away."

"However, it's a little strange that there are no ninjas from the Sand Village here."

"It seems that these things are just here to scout the area in advance. The ninjas from the Sand Village have not yet officially taken action against the River Country."

Naruto cancelled his Sage Tailed Beast transformation and briefly described the situation here.

"its not right."

"Naruto, if it wasn't the people from the Sand Village who did it, then did these forces come here on their own?!"

Sasuke also spoke up.

"It's not me."

"Sasuke is a little stupid. These things must have been made by that Black Zetsu."

"Oh, it's not Black Zetsu, but that Ōtsutsuki Hagoromo, right?"

Fu raised her hand and answered immediately.

"Do not……"

"Otsutsuki Hagoromo won't be targeted by the two of us at this time."

"The Sand Village..."

"it's me."

Just as Naruto was pondering the doubts, a familiar voice came into the ears of the three.

Even the chakra is extremely familiar...
