Chapter 703: The Fifth Great War, Five Sides Attack the Tree
With terrifying fluctuations of chakra, Naruto's figure and his opponent's figure constantly collided. In this alternate dimension, their two forms crashed into each other at high speed.
Meanwhile, in the Land of Whirlpools, Hinata looked at the Fourth Hokage before her. "Lord Fourth, you really can't sense Naruto's chakra?"
Hearing this, the Fourth Hokage, who was using Sage Mode to sense, frowned. "I truly cannot sense it!"
"Perhaps Naruto has been taken very far away by that person."
Very far away? What were they going to do? Hinata was extremely anxious now. She had to find a way to rescue Naruto, no matter what.
"Don't worry, Naruto—he'll be fine!"
Kushina, standing to the side, felt very strange at the moment. On one hand, there was Naruto, who claimed to be her future son the moment they met. At the same time, he had brought his future daughter-in-law. Kushina found all of this too hard to accept.
And most importantly, looking at Boruto beside Hinata, was this considered her grandson? Yet she felt nothing of the sort. At the same time, Kushina couldn't understand why she would marry Minato Namikaze. She shouldn't have had any interaction with this guy at all.
However, now was not the time to talk about these things. Regardless of whether she was willing to accept these matters, the main problem was that Konoha's Sixth Hokage had been taken away by an unknown person. How could they find him now?
One had to know, if he disappeared like this, the Land of Whirlpools they had just established would likely be destroyed. The Land of Whirlpools couldn't withstand any turmoil.
"Mom, if Master Sasuke were here, he might be able to find Dad!"
Hinata paused at his words. That's right! If it were Sasuke, he should be able to find Naruto. But who knew where Sasuke was right now?
Boruto glanced at the Fourth Hokage beside him. So this was his grandfather! He had heard that the Fourth Hokage's famous jutsu was called the Flying Thunder God Technique, and that he was known as the Golden Flash of the shinobi world.
"Orochimaru might know!"
Orochimaru? This name was not unfamiliar to anyone present.
The Fourth Hokage was taken aback. "Why would Orochimaru know where Sasuke is?"
"Because, Mitsuki said that Master Sasuke's relationship with Orochimaru is very close. Orochimaru is also Sasuke's master!"
"Even in this era, the person Master Sasuke would most want to talk to should be Orochimaru!"
Orochimaru is Sasuke's master? This was something Minato Namikaze had not expected. He knew who Sasuke was; after all, the Sage of the Six Paths' words had spread far too quickly. The greatest in the shinobi world. Such a ninja was actually Orochimaru's disciple.
However, even Orochimaru was not easy to find. That man was also elusive and hid himself very well.
"But I don't know where Orochimaru is either!" Minato was having a headache now.
But Boruto suddenly smiled. "Grandpa, you don't know, but I do. Take me with you, and I'll lead you to Orochimaru!"
Grandpa? Alright, this form of address gave Minato a bit of a headache. He wasn't even married yet, and suddenly he had a grandson. A grandson from the future.
Forget it. The top priority now was to find Naruto.
"Alright, I'll take you there!"
"The direction of the Hidden Sound Village. Orochimaru is there!"
Let's hope so. Minato didn't know yet that in the new era, Orochimaru was no longer a universally detested figure. As a scientist, Orochimaru was now a hot commodity in the shinobi world. It was only because of Konoha's protection that no one dared to make a move on him.
Minato possessed the Flying Thunder God Technique, so it wouldn't take too long to reach the Hidden Sound Village. But on the way from the Land of Whirlpools to the Hidden Sound, he discovered the Hidden Cloud's ninja forces. A force of nearly ten thousand elite ninja, moving at extreme speed. Each one of them was cloaked in the light of Lightning Release.
These Cloud ninja had actually invaded the Land of Fire's territory. If it were one or two, or a small ninja squad on a mission, it wouldn't matter. But a ninja force of nearly ten thousand was no small problem.
"What is going on here!"
"Why have the Cloud ninja forces entered the Land of Fire?" The Fourth Hokage paused on a tree, watching the rapidly advancing Cloud ninja.
Suddenly, a jonin from the Hidden Cloud who was sprinting at full speed came to a halt.
"Who's there?"
The man stopped and looked in the direction of the tree. However, he saw nothing.
"Was it my imagination?"
The other Cloud ninja around him also stopped. "What's wrong?"
"Nothing, I was probably just too tense and imagined it!"
"Let's keep moving!" With that, he resumed his advance.
Appearing in another location, Minato looked at Boruto before him. "Grandpa, those are the Hidden Cloud's ninja forces. For them to appear in the Land of Fire's territory, are they planning to wage war on Konoha?"
Minato smiled helplessly. "It's not a plan, they... have already launched it!"
That's right! It wasn't a question of 'if'. With such a large ninja force appearing, it was impossible for Konoha not to have noticed. It was obvious that Konoha was already aware. After all, this wasn't a small unit that could sneak in undetected.
Once Konoha discovered them, they would react, and that meant the Great Ninja War had already broken out! And at this very moment, Konoha's Hokage had been taken away by a strange man. This was the worst possible situation.
Perhaps Konoha was also in a state of chaos right now. No, he had to rescue Naruto as soon as possible. Not just for Hinata and the child before him, but for the Konoha Village of today. Thinking of this, Minato immediately picked up speed and headed towards the Hidden Sound Village.
At the same time, in another alternate dimension, Nagato looked at the crowd before him.
"Is everyone ready?"
Amado, at his side, nodded. "If you gave me a few more days, you would all be even more perfect. But under the circumstances of you demanding an immediate halt..."
"Although some flaws haven't been dealt with in time, as long as they aren't discovered, there shouldn't be any problems!"
This was already very good. Nagato felt it was enough. He looked at the gradually awakening crowd.
"My apologies, everyone. I was the one who forcibly awakened you. Otherwise, you probably would have continued to sleep for a while longer and become even more flawless."
"But now!"
"The Great Ninja War has broken out!"
"By my count, this should be the Fifth Great Ninja War. But this war is different from the previous ones."
"This time, it's four sides attacking the Tree!"
"Including us, it should be five sides attacking the Tree!"
"Konoha, that towering tree, has stood for long enough. It's time for it to fall!"
Hearing Nagato's words, Hidan, who had been grumbling in his heart about being awakened, suddenly became interested.
"I can finally get my revenge!"
"Nagato, you said before that we were going to attack Konoha, right?"
"The Great Ninja War has broken out. When are we making our move?"
That was an excellent question. Nagato smiled. "We move now."
📢 An Important Announcement Regarding the Translation and New Directions! 📢
Hello, dear readers and fellow ninja journey companions! ❤️
Firstly, I want to sincerely apologize for my disappearance in the last few days and for the absence of new chapters of our beloved fanfic. I know you eagerly await each update, and I'm very sorry for this unexpected pause.
I have an important announcement about the future of our translation of "Naruto: Reincarnated as Sasuke Uchiha with Perfect Talents." To maintain the quality and consistency you deserve, I had to make a difficult decision: from now on, we will be posting one chapter per day.
"But why?" you must be wondering. The truth is, the process of bringing this story to you has been more complex than I imagined. The website where I find the original Chinese version inserts several slashes (□) in the middle of the words. This makes the image-to-text conversion process enormously difficult. Each chapter requires a meticulous review to ensure no words are lost and, most laboriously, for every word containing these slashes, I need to manually rewrite the Chinese passage to ensure the translation is accurate. 😫
As you can imagine, this consumes a gigantic amount of time, and to avoid compromising the quality of what I deliver to you, I had to slow down the pace.
✨ But here comes the good news and a special invitation! ✨
If you love "Sasuke Uchiha Perfect Talents" as much as I do and would like to see more chapters posted daily, I invite you to consider supporting me on Patreon! With your support, I can dedicate more time and resources to speed up this process.
Check out our goals:
🎯 With 20 paying members, we'll go back to posting 2 chapters per day!
🌟 With 30 paying members, we'll increase to 3 chapters per day!
🚀 With 40 paying members, we'll have 4 chapters per day!
🔥 And with 50 paying members, we'll reach the incredible milestone of 5 chapters per day!
Every contribution, no matter how small, makes a huge difference and helps me continue bringing this and other stories to you.
