Chapter 51

There was a group of ninjas on their way from Konoha to Tenchi Bridge. Of course, they were ours.

Naruto had noticed that sometimes Sai was looking towards him. He knew that Sai was from Danzo's root anbus. That's why he was always wary of him. After all, after his last act, Danzo might have had a plan against him.

Naruto had already attempted such an event, thinking about what would happen from the very beginning. He didn't have the strength to support himself before, so he was secretly trying to do something. But now that there weren't many entities to threaten him, there was no point in being so passive. He didn't need to hide anymore, now he could begin to realize his plans.

His primary goal was to remove anything in Konoha that could stand in his way. The next step was to remove obstacles from all Elemental Nations. The next stage is the whole universe...

They would arrive at Tenchi Bridge tomorrow as they were traveling at a normal speed. That's why they prepared a campsite to rest at night.

Everyone except Sai closed their eyes and began to rest. The reason Sai wasn't sleeping was that someone was checking around for a possible enemy. Of course, they would do this in turns.

Naruto was always sleeping with his senses open. This way, he could react immediately when a potential enemy approached him.

Naruto felt someone approaching him. According to the chakra he perceives, the person approaching him should be Sai.

Sai was quietly approaching Naruto while holding a kunai that he had hidden behind him.

Naruto waited for Sai to get closer to him, then asked with his eyes still closed, "Is it my turn to watch, Sai?"

Sai said with a smile, "Yes, it's your turn."

"I see, I'm taking over. Rest well." Naruto said, then stood up and went to the guard.

After a while, Naruto looked at the resting Sai and he thought, "He was probably planning to do something to me if I didn't react. Could Danzo have given him an order? In the anime, he received an order telling to kill Sasuke. So what kind of order did he get this time? I'd better investigate this matter."

The next day they finally arrived at Tenchi Bridge.

"I think it would be better if I change as Sasori." Naruto said while looking at Kakashi.

"Hmm? Why do you think such a thing?" Kakashi asked.

"I can escape quickly in a possible trap. Moreover, if Orochimaru and his subordinate come, it would make more sense for me to be there. Because I've fought them before, so I can win." Naruto said.

"Hmm... Makes sense, but first, let's compare our transformation techniques. Whichever of us does it better, let him go." Kakashi said.

After Naruto nodded, Kakashi transformed into Sasori using henge jutsu. He then looked at Naruto.

After Naruto made a few hand gestures, the earth on the ground began to cover his body. After the earth covered his whole body, it changed its shape and turned into Sasori.

"I think mine is better than you" Naruto said with a grin.

"Wait, we haven't compared our voices yet." Kakashi grinned in response.

Some time passed, Naruto, who had transformed into Sasori, started walking towards the bridge to meet with the agent. Others watched, hidden in the bushes.

"It's been a long time, Sasori-sama." Kabuto said while showing his face, slightly moving his hoodie.

"Let's skip the formalities. You weren't followed on your way here, right?" Naruto said in a gloomy tone.

Kabuto glanced around for a while, then said, "I must have been unfollowed. Anyway, about the mission you gave me…"

Naruto interrupted, "I want to ask a few questions before that."

"Hmm? Yes, I'm listening, but please hurry, I don't have much time. After all, if I'm too late, I'm more likely to be noticed." Kabuto said.

"How are Orochimaru and Sasuke hiding? Where are they now?" Naruto asked.

"Every week they change their location in different ways. They are currently on a small island north of here. Three days later, they will change places again." Kabuto said.

Just then, a voice was heard from a bush in the distance. But after a short while, it appeared that it was a rabbit making that noise.

"Oh. It was just a rabbit. Anyway, now would you please give me the quest item?" Kabuto said.

"Hmm... you're sure you weren't being followed, right?" Naruto said while looking at the hiding Orochimaru.

Seeing that Orochimaru was spotted, he quickly attacked Kabuto. Kabuto quickly escaped and went over to Naruto's side.

"I was saved by your warning, Sasori-sama." said Kabuto.

But shortly after, Kabuto quickly attacked Naruto, who was standing next to him.

Naruto stopped the hand coming towards him using his tail formed by the transformation.

"Did you think you could fool me that easily?" Naruto said as he slowly turned into original form.

After he was completely transformed into his normal self, he added with a grin, "It's been a long time since we saw you, Ka-bu-to-chan."

Kabuto was startled as he fled backward.

"You… How could it be?" Kabuto said while remembering the intense psychological impact he had experienced in the past.

Orochimaru was also taken aback by the situation he faced.

At that moment, the Konoha ninjas who were hiding in the bushes quickly came to Naruto.

Sakura angrily said while looking at Orochimaru, "Tell me! Where's my Sasuke!?"

"Your Sasuke!? He's mine! You will never get him!" Orochimaru said as if he was protecting a precious item.

Others felt strange in the face of what was before them. What the hell was going on here? Who owned Sasuke?

"Damn it. Now I will definitely kill him." Naruto thought.
