Finally, Kakuzu, Sasori, and Orochimaru left the Red Base.
Naturally, Naruto didn't forget to have his father, Shisui, and Itachi cast a genjutsu suggestion on Kakuzu.
Although Kakuzu had Kage-level strength, with three Mangekyo genjutsu suggestions, he probably wouldn't be able to break free even if he died.
Just as the three of them, Kakuzu included, reached the entrance of the Red Base, Itachi called out to them.
"Kakuzu, tell your leader that I will visit when I have time!"
Kakuzu nodded upon hearing this. With Itachi's words, he could consider his mission accomplished!
As for whether it was Shisui's problem? That wasn't an issue. They were all Uchiha, all Mangekyo. It didn't matter!
After seeing the three leave, the others also returned to the Red Base.
"Dad! You've adapted to your new power without any problems. It's time we let you return to the Fourth Hokage position!"
Naruto's words made Itachi and Shisui look at Minato Namikaze with curiosity.
They were very curious how Minato Namikaze would return to the Hokage position.
Although the Fourth Hokage was very strong now and had high prestige in Konoha, it wouldn't be easy to seize power from those old stubborn folks in Konoha!
"Fourth Hokage-sama, is there anything you need us to do? If there is, Shisui and I will not hesitate!"
Itachi said with a serious expression.
Itachi absolutely approved of Minato Namikaze becoming Hokage.
Firstly, Minato Namikaze was very strong, which he had personally experienced.
Secondly, Minato Namikaze had no prejudice against the Uchiha.
Although Itachi was now following the red ideology, he still had feelings for the Uchiha.
Moreover, he hoped that the entire Uchiha clan would become part of communism, just like himself and Shisui!
"Haha... don't worry, having Naruto help me is enough! You all should continue building your base here!"
Itachi heard this and knew that Minato Namikaze had his own plan, so he didn't ask any more questions!
And so...
Naruto and Minato Namikaze returned to Konoha to prepare for the second Nine-Tailed incident!
Konoha Village.
At Kakashi's house.
At this time, Kakashi was lying on the tatami mat wearing a virtual helmet, with unwashed dishes and chopsticks on a nearby table.
"Knock knock knock."
A series of urgent knocks sounded, which made Kakashi helplessly take off his virtual helmet and go to open the door.
When the door opened, Kakashi saw Might Guy, dressed in a tight jumpsuit with a bowl cut, standing at the entrance.
"Guy, why are you here again? Didn't I say I'm not taking missions recently!"
Seeing Guy, Kakashi said with his dead-fish eyes, a hint of helplessness in his voice.
"No, no," Might Guy wagged his finger, then picked up a box. "I'm here to play virtual games with you!"
Seeing the box Guy was holding, Kakashi was also stunned. He knew that the box was a shockproof case specifically for virtual helmets!
"Eh? Guy, didn't you say playing games would affect your training?"
Kakashi asked, a little confused.
"I thought so too before, but when I was training with a great young man these past few days, he told me! You can also train in the virtual world!"
"So, I bought a set of helmets to try it out!"
"So... Kakashi, let's play together?"
Guy said again.
"Guy, if I'm not mistaken, you should be in the Martial Artist Zone, right?"
"Yoho... Kakashi, you truly are my eternal rival and best friend. You really understand me!"
Kakashi slapped his forehead and said, "I'm in the Ninja Zone, we can't play together... It's too much trouble to travel between zones!"
"Besides, I'm still gathering materials to create an NPC."
Hearing Kakashi say he wanted to create an NPC, Guy knew he wanted to create NPCs of Obito and Rin.
"Alright then! Tell me what materials you need, and I'll help you collect them. After all, Obito and Rin are my friends too!"
With that, Guy gave a thumbs-up, revealing his sparkling white teeth!
"Sigh," Kakashi sighed when materials were mentioned. "I've collected most of the materials, but there are a few that I've been looking for a long time and just haven't found."
"Armored Fist bone, Crystal Core ore."
Before Kakashi could finish listing the materials he lacked, Guy directly interrupted, "I have the Armored Fist bone you're talking about!"
"Hmm?"
Hearing Guy's words, Kakashi was also a bit confused.
Could it be that fools have their luck? But very quickly, Kakashi understood what was going on.
"So, some materials can only be found outside the Ninja Zone?"
After muttering to himself, Kakashi said anxiously, "Guy, I'm coming to the Martial Artist Zone to find you now!"
"Eh? Aren't you bothered by traveling between zones anymore? How about I come to you instead!"
Guy said, a little puzzled.
"No need, I'll still come to you..."
Immediately, the two put on their helmets and entered the game.
Just then, a sudden roar echoed.
Hearing this sound, Kakashi and Guy, who had just put on their helmets, were both stunned, then quickly took off their helmets.
"That voice sounds a bit familiar!"
Guy muttered, frowning.
"Of course it's familiar... The owner of that voice killed... Sensei!"
After hearing this roar, Kakashi's previously dead-fish eyes suddenly became extremely sharp. Then, without another word, he rushed towards Naruto's house.
He knew that Naruto was his sensei's child, but... for these years, Kakashi had been in a state of decadence, or rather, only able to numb himself with missions.
In that state, Kakashi couldn't even care for Naruto; he himself had even thought of dying at one point.
It was also that period of thoughtlessness that allowed Danzo to exploit a loophole and trick him into assassinating the Third Hokage.
Now knowing that the Nine-Tailed had reappeared, it meant that something must have happened to Naruto, which... made Kakashi anxious.
It wasn't just Kakashi's side.
Hearing this roar, other parts of Konoha Village also stirred.
In the Third Hokage's Office, the Third Hokage took off his virtual helmet, looking at the Nine-Tailed Fox in the center of the village, his heart also trembling!
"Naruto... something happened to him..."
Next to the Third Hokage was the young Shoyo Hinata, who had just delivered his takeout.
After seeing the Nine-Tailed Fox, Shoyo Hinata directly threw away the takeout box and then turned and ran towards Naruto's residence.
The Third Hokage didn't say anything about Shoyo's departure. Instead, he put on his combat uniform and said with a serious expression, "It looks like it's my turn to sacrifice myself this time!"
