When Sasuke passed through the gap in the seawater and entered the secret realm, the scene inside shocked him greatly.
The Thousand-Armed Buddha, which had originally guarded the Sage of Six Paths' cave dwelling, was now dismembered, its scattered limbs filling the entire secret realm space.
And the gate to the Sage of Six Paths' cave dwelling was wide open.
"Are we too late?" Terumī Mei asked.
"Let's go in and take a look. Maybe that guy hasn't had time to leave yet," the Fourth Raikage said.
Just as they were about to step into the Sage of Six Paths' cave dwelling, a voice rang out from behind them.
"Descendant of the Sage of Six Paths..."
The five of them turned around vigilantly in unison and saw the huge head of the Thousand-Armed Buddha floating alone in this secret realm space, staring at them with large eyes.
Although only a head remained, its size was still larger than Sasuke's Susanoo.
"It's you. You're still alive?" Sasuke asked hesitantly.
"I was endowed with the power of Yin-Yang Release by the Sage of Six Paths. I won't die that easily," the Thousand-Armed Buddha said.
Sasuke didn't dwell on it and asked, "Why did you stop us?"
"A brat possessing the power of All Creation has entered the Sage's cave dwelling. I can sense that his chakra is full of the scent of evil and slaughter. If he obtains the Sage of Six Paths' secret treasure, he will definitely bring disaster to the Ninja World. So I want to ask for your help. Since you are a descendant of the Sage of Six Paths, please, you must stop him. You cannot let him obtain the Sage of Six Paths' secret treasure," the Thousand-Armed Buddha said seriously.
"You don't need to tell us that. We came here to stop him!"
Sasuke said with a gloomy face, "If you hadn't stopped me last time, then the subsequent events wouldn't have happened. Now, you've wasted a lot of our time again!"
"Even if I didn't stop you, without the power of All Creation, you wouldn't have been able to open the gate of the Sage's cave dwelling!" the Thousand-Armed Buddha retorted.
"Alright, stop arguing." Tsunade interrupted their conversation and then asked the Thousand-Armed Buddha, "Senior, do you know what the Sage of Six Paths' secret treasure is?"
"It is an unripe Chakra Fruit. As long as one eats the fruit, there is a probability of becoming the Progenitor of Chakra, obtaining power comparable to the Sage of Six Paths!" The Thousand-Armed Buddha didn't hide anything and answered truthfully.
"What? There is such a treasure?!" The four Kage heard about this for the first time and were shocked.
"Then what are we waiting for?! Let's move quickly. We absolutely cannot let him get that fruit!" The Fourth Raikage said, gritting his teeth.
The five of them ignored the Thousand-Armed Buddha and went straight into the Sage of Six Paths' cave dwelling.
After entering the cave dwelling, a powerful and mysterious aura rushed towards them. The light inside the cave was dim, and strange runes and patterns flashed on the walls, as if telling ancient stories.
Sasuke walked at the front, his Sharingan constantly vigilant for movement around them.
Suddenly, they felt a powerful chakra fluctuation. Deep in the Sage's cave dwelling, it seemed two incredibly powerful people were fighting. They could sense the chakra fluctuations caused by the battle even at the entrance.
Sasuke didn't dare to delay and immediately rushed towards the depths of the cave dwelling at full speed.
Upon arrival, Sasuke saw Naruto toying with a hideous giant beast. This giant beast looked very much like the Gedo Statue, with ten tails swaying in the air behind it, and a body size of fully one hundred meters.
Naruto sensed someone approaching, turned his head to see Sasuke and the four Kage, and said with an unfriendly expression: "You dare chase me here..."
*Boom!*
Before he could finish speaking, the ten-tailed giant beast spat a Tailed Beast Ball at him, interrupting him abruptly.
"It looks like this giant beast is also a guardian of the Sage's cave dwelling. This way, we have another helper to deal with Naruto!"
Sasuke said while putting down the other four Kage. Then he controlled Susanoo, holding a chakra greatsword, and pounced towards Naruto, intending to coordinate with the giant beast.
However, he never expected that as soon as he approached the battle circle between Naruto and the giant beast, the giant beast immediately turned its head and spat a Tailed Beast Ball at him.
Sasuke had put all his attention and guard on Naruto. Caught off guard, he took a solid hit, and the huge Susanoo was blown away by the explosion.
"Damn it! I shouldn't have trusted these brainless guys in the Sage's secret realm!" Sasuke gritted his teeth.
Seeing this opportunity, Naruto flew directly above the giant beast. Then, his Rinnegan moved, and the repulsive force on his body erupted suddenly.
"Chō Shinra Tensei (Super Almighty Push)!"
A huge sphere of repulsive force expanded from above the giant beast. The giant beast's body was directly flattened, embedded entirely into the floor tiles of the Sage's cave dwelling, letting out a miserable scream.
The heavily injured giant beast's body rapidly shrank, collapsing towards a single point. Finally, this hundred-meter-large giant beast shrank into a green fruit the size of a palm.
Sasuke, who had been blown away by the Tailed Beast Ball, saw this, and his pupils shrank violently: "Oh no, that giant beast wasn't a guardian of the cave dwelling, but the Chakra Fruit itself!"
The four Kage were also pale with shock. Who could have thought that the massive giant beast was transformed from a small fruit!
However, it was too late to say anything now. Naruto grabbed the green fruit, and with a light smile on the corner of his mouth, said to Sasuke: "Although this little guy isn't worth mentioning to me, I still have to say, thanks for your help."
Hearing this, Sasuke's eyes turned crimson, almost spewing fire.
"Amaterasu!"
Naruto turned slightly sideways, and the black flames attached to the wall behind him.
Just then, the Fourth Raikage, covered in Lightning Release Chakra Armor, rushed fiercely in front of Naruto.
The Fourth Raikage possessed the fastest speed among the four Kage, so when they wanted to stop Naruto, he was the fastest to reach him.
His speed was extremely fast, rushing in front of Naruto in almost the blink of an eye.
"Brat, don't be too arrogant! You will pay for your actions! Hell Stab!"
However, just as the Raikage's fingers were about to pierce Naruto's chest, Naruto's right arm was quickly wrapped in golden chakra.
Immediately after, he grabbed the Raikage's wrist. The Lightning Release Chakra Armor covering the Raikage sizzled in Naruto's palm, but it didn't hurt him in the slightest.
With a force of his hand, Naruto easily twisted and broke the Raikage's entire right arm, then kicked the Raikage away.
The dignified Raikage lost an arm without lasting a single move against Naruto. Naruto didn't even use ten percent of his strength.
"Well then, the playtime ends here. My purpose this time has been achieved, so I won't play house with you anymore," Naruto said as he saw others wanting to rush up. "Although I said last time that I would kill you all next time we meet, let's leave it for the *next* time. Killing you now would mean less fun in the future."
"No parting gift this time. Just wait in fear for the day I destroy the Ninja World."
