Trees Chapter 281 The Purest Taste of Konoha

Naruto double-checked the matter regarding Hidan, but ultimately still felt uneasy.

He even called his senior brother to inquire.

"What?!"

"There's actually such a thing?"

"Don't worry, Leader. I will bring Xiao Yan back in a couple of days to help rebuild Amegakure."

Naruto felt very uncomfortable as he listened to his senior brother's complaints.

According to him, Amegakure had almost been fully rebuilt, only to be blown up yet again.

Even if he traveled all over the world to resurrect the dead, Nagato had never felt so exhausted.

After all, half of the people who were resurrected were his fans...

As for reconstruction of Amegakure...

It had been blown up three times in total!

Three times!

Anyone else would have lost their minds by now, right?!

Naruto expressed deep sympathy for his senior brother’s plight and comforted him by saying that almost the entire Shinobi World had been blown up this time.

In a way...

The destruction of the Shinobi World had essentially reset everyone and every force to the same starting line.

If we round it off, it was almost as if Amegakure hadn’t been destroyed at all.

Nagato felt there was some logic to this, but he couldn’t quite put his finger on where it made sense.

Finally, after reassuring his senior brother, Naruto confirmed that Hidan had not succeeded in summoning Boruto.

"Good, everything’s perfectly resolved!"

"We can go home now."

Naruto hooked his arms around Sasuke and the white-haired bum’s shoulders and hopped lightly with his feet off the ground.

With the Shinobi World restored to its former peace, his mood couldn’t be better.

When he recalled the incident with the runaway Ryumyaku’s energy, Naruto still felt a lingering fear.

First, there was the invasion of the green-skinned creatures and the Soul Society into the past timeline, and then there was the Liquid Metal Terminator’s invasion.

Thankfully, Hidan’s attempt to summon the Jashin had failed.

Otherwise, he and Sasuke would’ve been completely overwhelmed.

While it might seem like they didn’t do much this time, they were still exhausted!

Kakashi glanced at the cheerful yellow-haired man, raised his hands to cover his face, and sighed softly.

"Stop celebrating."

"Everyone in the village lost their homes."

Naruto was stunned for a moment, then pointed at himself, without a trace of shame on his face.

"It’s fine. My villa is gone too."

Sasuke, who was standing by, felt a little uneasy when he heard this.

‘If I go back to the village, I won’t be beaten up by Hinata, right?’

Sasuke's back was already wet with sweat when he thought about the beating he would receive when he returned to the village.

He glanced at Kakashi beside him, his mind racing wildly.

After a minute-long brainstorming session, Sasuke suddenly pulled Naruto aside, interrupting his attempt to toss out a portal.

Sasuke hooked an arm around Naruto’s shoulder and lowered his voice into a whisper, "Naruto... other than you..."

"Is there anyone in the village who knows about the Dojutsu of my left eye's Mangekyo?"

After he said that, he pointed to his left eye.

The only difference from before is that the Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan has turned into the six-tomoe Rinnegan.

"No."

"It seems that apart from me and white-haired middle-aged man, few people know about it."

Naruto looked puzzled, not understanding why Sasuke suddenly asked this question.

After getting the confirmation, Sasuke turned his head and glanced at Kakashi again.

"That... "

"What exactly did you and Hinata talk about last time?"

Naruto: “???”

When Naruto heard Sasuke suddenly mention this, he didn't react at first.

But when he saw the panicked look on Sasuke’s face, Naruto knew that Sasuke was worried about facing Hinata upon returning to the village.

"Last time, I just told her you called me out for a mission."

"She probably wouldn’t suspect you, right?"

Naruto wasn’t entirely confident either.

Because he disappeared suddenly, the only person in Konoha who could’ve been responsible was Sasuke.

And his suspicion was also the highest.

Sasuke nodded in relief and looked at Kakashi with pity again.

He thought that if he were to run into Hinata when he returned to the village, he’d just pin the blame on Kakashi.

After all, this guy's Mangekyo’s Dojutsu is almost the same as his.

And Kakashi is also the Jonin Instructor of Team 7...

So it made perfect sense for Kakashi to use Kamui to pull Naruto into another dimension for a mission.

"Alright, no problem then."

Sasuke nodded. After the issue was resolved, he suddenly felt relieved.

At least he wouldn’t have to worry about getting beaten up by his good brother’s girlfriend upon returning.

It’s not like he couldn’t take her in a fight…

But if he actually fought back...he would probably just end up with another person trying to beat him up.

With this in mind, Sasuke suddenly pulled out his phone and took several photos of Kakashi in succession.

Then, he lowered his head, switched to his own account, and posted on his feed:

[Uchiha Clan’s Pride: Under the leadership of Konoha’s Jonin, Kakashi-sensei, our team 7 finally completed the mission. Image.jpg.]

"Sasuke, let's go!"

Naruto stood at the portal and when he saw Sasuke still fiddling with his phone, he hurriedly urged him to go.

Right now, he was in a rush to get back and resurrect the two Senju Elders with Impure World Reincarnation.

Sasuke didn't respond to Naruto. He looked down at the comments and suddenly smirked.

[Naruto-kun Is My Favorite: So Kakashi-sensei led the mission, right? :) ]

Sasuke could tell at a glance that the comment was from Hinata.

Combined with her extremely polite tone...

He was pretty sure he’d successfully shifted the blame onto Kakashi.

‘At the very least, the white-haired bum could help absorb some of the firepower.’

"Coming."

Sasuke put away his phone and followed Naruto into the portal...

"Wait..."

"I haven't gone in yet!!"

Shino watched as the portal disappear in front of him, and suddenly felt like crying but had no tears.

…

"Yo, you’re back."

When Jiraiya saw several people coming out of the portal, he raised his hand and greeted his beloved disciple.

Sakura trailed behind Kakashi, lowered her head and dared not speak.

Because she was convinced that the catastrophe that had befallen the Shinobi World was entirely her fault.

Her mood was beyond miserable.

Tsunade glanced at the pink-haired girl, pulled the corner of her eyes, sighed, and then said, "As long as everyone made it back safely."

Tsunade didn’t say much else.

Anyway, Chiyo’s treatment had already been handled by Nagato.

A little high blood pressure was nothing to the leader of the Akatsuki.

Tsunade then glanced at a certain yellow-haired guy and immediately urged him to start working.

She really doesn't want to be this troublesome Hokage for even a day longer.

"Naruto, get started."

As Tsunade said that, she tossed a scroll to Naruto.

Inside are the sacrifices that Orochimaru had previously cultivated.

Naruto took a sweeping glance at the current state of Konoha Village, which is now reduced to a giant crater, and understood the severity of the situation.

Pulling out the materials Tsunade had prepared from the sealing scroll, he swiftly formed hand seals.

"Impure World Reincarnation!"

Bzzt…

With a faint tremor, the two sacrifices instantly turned into dust, and then two coffins emerged from the ground.

When the coffins fully appeared in front of everyone, their lids slid open and crashed to the ground.

Sasuke on the side was a little curious about the two Hokage, so he directly activated the Mangekyo in his right eye.

He wanted to see just how strong these so-called legends really were.

The next second, Senju Hashirama and Senju Tobirama opened their eyes at the same time.

"Hmm? Impure World Reincarnation again?"

"Tobirama, I told you not to develop this technique in the first place."

When Hashirama realized his reanimated state, he turned around and started to criticize his brother.

But Tobirama ignored his older brother. He stared coldly at the Uchiha kid in front of him who looked a bit like Izuna.
