Chapter 1434 Return

Chapter 1434 Return
In the sunlight, two figures were as fast as two afterimages, shuttling through the forests and mountains, speeding towards the research institute.

After a long time, they stopped at the battlefield where Orochimaru and Yamada Shigeichi had fought before.

One of them asked curiously, "Hey, what happened here?"

Another person stopped and looked around: "The soil on the ground is still fresh. This group of mountains must have collapsed not long ago!"

The person asking the question scratched his head and said, "How could such a large mountain collapse suddenly? Did an earthquake happen here?"

His companion said speechlessly: "Naruto, you are such an idiot! If there was an earthquake here, those buildings in the distance would not be preserved so well!"

There is no doubt that the people speeding towards the research institute were not others but Naruto and Sasuke, who were entrusted to the Six Paths Sage by Shinji.

After more than half a year of training, the two of them finally completed the training tasks assigned by the Six Paths Sage and returned to the Ninja World.

Following Sasuke's gaze, Naruto looked at the buildings in the distance: "Really? The buildings over there are intact. It looks like it wasn't an earthquake!"

"Of course it's not an earthquake!" After a pause, Sasuke snorted, "If I'm not mistaken, the collapse of this mountain was caused by a battle."

Naruto was surprised: "Fight?!"

Sasuke said: "Yes, it's a battle between strong people of the same level as us!"

At this moment, accompanied by two sounds of breaking through the air, Yakumo and Bai fell from the sky and landed in front of Sasuke and Naruto.

Yakumo asked, "Sasuke, Naruto? Didn't you go to practice with the Sage of Six Paths?"

Naruto looked very proud: "We have completed the training task arranged by Grandpa Liudao!"

Bai Yi heard this and asked happily, "Could it be that the two of you have successfully advanced to the 'Six Paths Level'?"

Without waiting for Naruto to answer, Sasuke, with one hand on his waist, condensed a 'Seeking Truth Jade': "Of course!"

Then, Naruto also condensed a 'Seeking the Way Jade' and said with a smile: "Look!"

"'Seeking the Way Jade'!"

Bai's eyes lit up.

The 'Seeking the Way Jade' can be said to be the symbol of the 'Six Paths Level', because the core requirement for condensing the 'Seeking the Way Jade' is to master the 'Power of All Things', to fuse together the seven chakras of Yin and Yang, the Five Elements, and to condense the 'Seeking the Way Jade'.

Therefore, strictly speaking, the experimental subjects created by the research institute through the ritual can only be regarded as having "Six Paths Level" combat power, but not the real "Six Paths Level".

Looking at the 'Seeking Truth Orb' condensed by Sasuke and Naruto, Yakumo sighed softly: "I'm still left behind by you!"

After learning that Sasuke and Naruto were training with the Sage of Six Paths, Yakumo knew that she might lose to Sasuke and Naruto in the competition to become a "Six Paths Level". But she did not give up and has been working hard to train during this period, hoping to surpass Sasuke and Naruto.

Now seeing that Sasuke has reached the 'Six Paths Level', even though Naruto feels a little unwilling in his heart, he has to admit that he has lost.

As if he had noticed Yakumo's dejection, the usually arrogant Sasuke said to Yakumo: "Hey, you've been suppressing us for so long, it's time for us to overtake you once!"

Naruto nodded heavily: "Yes, Yakumo, you have kept the fact that you are the 'D' of Akatsuki from me for so long, and I haven't settled the score with you yet. A barbecue is a must!"

"Okay, this barbecue is on me!"

Yakumo smiled and felt much better. Naruto looked at Bai again: "Bai, you owe me a barbecue too!"

Bai nodded: "Okay, okay!"

After a few jokes, the classmates quickly got over the strangeness of not seeing each other for half a year and became familiar with each other.

At this time, Sasuke asked Yakumo and Bai, "What happened here? Was it caused by a fight?"

"It should be considered a testing accident."

Yakumo then told Sasuke and Naruto in detail about the battle between Orochimaru and Yamada Shigeichi.

Hearing that it was Orochimaru and a wanted criminal named Yamada Shigeichi who collapsed the mountains, Sasuke immediately showed an eager expression on his face: "It seems that your research institute has come up with a lot of interesting things during this period!"

Naruto was shocked and said, "Were these mountains really shattered by fists?"

Bai nodded gently, "Yes, after being strengthened by the ritual, Orochimaru and Yamada Shigeichi, the experimental subjects, have the combat power of the 'Six Paths' level. Every move they make has the power to move mountains and seas. They only fought for a short moment, and the mountains were destroyed."

"Six Paths-level combat power? Humph!"

Sasuke snorted.

He had practiced for more than half a year, and he had been practicing with the legendary Sage of the Six Paths. He had shed countless sweat and suffered countless hardships before he became a "Six Paths Level". That was why he did not believe that a mere ceremony could turn a wanted criminal into a "Six Paths Level".

Yakumo asked, "By the way, why did you suddenly come to the research institute?"

Sasuke said: "I went back to the fortress. There was nothing going on there for the time being, so I wanted to come over and take a look!"

Yakumo frowned, "Does your Excellency know?"

Sasuke smiled and said, "I haven't had time to report yet, but we are just here to take a look. It won't affect the research of the institute!"

Yakumo nodded slightly, "It's not a bad thing for you two to come to the research institute. The ritual creates batches of experimental subjects with 'Six Paths' combat power. Unfortunately, these experimental subjects are not good guys. Bai and I have very limited control over them. The research institute has been in a mess for a while now!"

Sasuke was stunned: "Is there such a thing?"

Bai said: "There has indeed been some chaos in the institute during this period. The main reason is that we failed to live up to the adults' instructions and failed to calm down those experimental subjects."

With the accumulation of combat experience, Bai and Yakumo, who are becoming more and more experienced, are now both super shadow-level fighters. But even so, they are still not good enough when facing the "Six Paths-level" fighters, so neither Owl before nor Yamada Shigeichi later are too afraid of them.

Currently, the people who are truly responsible for suppressing the experimental subjects in the research institute are actually Orochimaru, Aida, and the brother and sister Damon.

The cause of all this was naturally Shinji's genuine fear of divine arts, so he isolated his direct subordinates from the research on divine arts and only sent Yakumo and Shiro to sit in the research institute to be responsible for daily monitoring and communication work.

Of course, this also led to Akatsuki's control over the research institute rapidly declining as the institute's strength rapidly expanded.

Sasuke patted Bai's shoulder and smiled confidently, "Don't worry, we're here!"

"Ok!"

Naruto also nodded. He actually didn't quite understand the situation in the research institute, but he habitually stood on Sasuke's side.

The first update is here!
