Naruto: Rebirth of the Strongest Six Paths

The fierce whirlwind gradually subsided, and the place where the two were standing was destroyed beyond recognition by [Senjutsu·Wind Style·Rasenshuriken].

The originally flat ground was shattered by the ravages of this powerful force, and the criss-crossing gullies were like scars on the earth, shocking.

Kakashi narrowed his eyes and approached the two cautiously.

He bent down to check their breath, and then frowned tightly.

Saizo, wearing a red robe, was lifeless, with all his bones broken, and it was obvious that he had died. Although Hongtu, who was as strong as an ox, still had a breath, he was also struggling to survive, and there was no way to save him.

Kakashi squatted down and asked Hongtu with a heavy face:"Can you tell me now? Why did you betray the Iwagakure Village, and why did you attack this place?"

Hongtu raised his head with difficulty, staring at Kakashi, blood oozing from the corners of his mouth, and sneered at the same time.

"Kakashi, you don't understand anything.......If Ninja......"

Before he finished speaking, Kakashi's Sharingan began to spin rapidly. In an instant, Hongtu's originally resolute eyes became blurred and dazed, and he was completely trapped in Kakashi's [Sharingan] illusion.

"Now let me see what you've been through."

【Sharingan, this magical eye technique, is known as the"eye that probes the soul" because of its ability to peek into other people's inner world.

Once locked by these eyes, any memory will be exposed and there will be no confidentiality.

At this moment, Kakashi is quietly sneaking into the depths of Hongtu's memory.

In his field of vision, an iron box gradually emerged.

Kakashi swam towards the box without hesitation, and after getting close, he tried his best to open the iron box.

As the lid opened, the memories sealed in the deepest part of Hongtu's heart appeared in front of Kakashi like a flood.

Time went back to three years ago, when Hongtu had just taken on the task of escorting the daimyo to the Land of Water for a meeting and negotiation.

However, just after his expedition, the appearance of a yellow-haired boy made Hongtu's originally smooth life change dramatically.

This boy named Deidara is a gifted man. He mastered the secret technique of earth escape at a young age and frequently created explosions in the village.......

Although everyone complained about his behavior, because he was the grandson of the two-day scale Onoki, the villagers could only swallow their anger and dare not speak out.

However, what was unexpected was that the guy actually created a huge explosion that shook the world when his own ability was still insufficient and he could not fully control the earth escape secret technique!

On that day......The entire Iwagakure village witnessed a small village to the west being reduced to ashes in a violent explosion.

This village happened to be the home of Kotsuchi, where his newborn son lived.

After returning from his mission, Kotsuchi was filled with grief and indignation, and was furious. He wanted to kill his enemy [Deidara] immediately to pay tribute to the souls of his family.

But at this moment, the two great scales, Ōnoki, stepped forward to stop his impulsive behavior.

The respected old Tsuchikage explained to everyone that the explosion was purely an unintentional mistake by Deidara.......Not only that, he even let Deidara leave the village.

At this point, Kotsuchi completely realized the dark nature of the village. So late one night, he killed the Tsuchikage's granddaughter cruelly.

Then, he launched a crazy act of destruction on the Hidden Rock Village, and then fled in the chaos.

"I see......So, why did you choose to join Akatsuki?"

Kakashi frowned and asked.

Hongtu chuckled a few times, with a hint of regret in his tone:"Humph, if it weren't for you uninvited guests, once this mission is successful, I will be able to kill that brat Deidara as I wish. This is what our leader promised himself.......Unfortunately, the effort failed......Damn it......."

Kakashi's eyes suddenly tightened when he heard this. He keenly caught the key information in Hongtu's words and asked,"What is your mission? Leader? Who is the leader of your Akatsuki? Where is the organization hiding? Tell me!" Facing

Kakashi's anxious questioning, Hongtu smiled coldly and did not answer.

Then, his breath gradually dissipated, and his life signs completely disappeared.

"......Well, although I failed to obtain any information, at least I solved two problems."

Kakashi sighed helplessly and rubbed his messy hair. After a short pause, he walked towards Naruto and the others.

"You guys did an excellent job! Both Naruto and Sasuke have made significant progress." Kakashi smiled and praised generously. Sasuke glanced at Naruto lightly and snorted. For him, the enemy he encountered this time was indeed very challenging.

If he hadn't fought side by side with Naruto, it would not have been easy to defeat the opponent.

He used all his physical skills, ninjutsu and eye skills, but even so, he could only barely compete with the strong man, and still couldn't keep up with Naruto's pace.

Especially the extremely powerful [Wind Style: Rasenshuriken], how should he develop a ninjutsu of that level?

Naruto stared at Sasuke with a slight smile on his face. He didn't respond. Instead, he turned to look at Kakashi and asked softly,"Teacher Kakashi, there has always been a doubt in my heart."

"Oh? What's the problem, Naruto?"Kakashi responded curiously.

Naruto took a deep breath and then said calmly:"The entire ninja world is so vast and boundless, and there are countless countries and villages."

"As long as there are people living, fighting and killing seem to be inevitable. So, what should we do to reduce violence and bloodshed or even eliminate them completely?"

Kakashi's eyes couldn't help but tremble slightly when he heard the question raised by Naruto.

He had also thought about similar questions before, and the answer he finally came up with was: try your best to fulfill your duties as a ninja.

Sasuke listened to Naruto's question, and he couldn't help but think of his brother who fought for the justice of the village. He made up his mind and said it in front of everyone:"I think that as long as all ninja villages face the same enemy, they will have to unite at that time."

Naruto listened to Sasuke's words and nodded slightly. He used to think that bonds and love could change violence and bloodshed.

However, the facts were ruthlessly placed in front of him. No matter how hard he tried, he was powerless. Even the dark side that emerged in the village was difficult for him to completely eradicate.

"At that time, even if the whole world regards us as enemies, what does it matter?"

Sasuke's Sharingan began to move slowly, as if this was his determination. Kakashi raised the corners of his mouth slightly, gently stroked their heads, and comforted them with a smile:"These are all things in the future. The most important task at present is to find [Princess Tsunade]. Well, since there is no place to rest right now, let's take a rest where we are."

After that, Kakashi turned his gaze to Naruto, and then arranged:"The night patrol will be left to me, Naruto and Sasuke, and we can take turns on duty. The rest of you can go and rest for a while."

Naruto stretched out his arms and yawned loudly. A plan he had been thinking about in his mind once again came to his mind-to unify the entire ninja world, and the core figure needed for this plan is [Tsunade].
