Chapter 508 Pursuing Your Own Path

Chiba told Orochimaru and Kabuto Yakushi with certainty that the Ten-Tails and Kaguya Ōtsutsuki would definitely be resurrected.

Yakushi Kabuto also understood what Chiba meant: "Master Chiba wants the ninja world to learn from the experience of dealing with Kaguya Ōtsutsuki and Isshiki Ōtsutsuki, and be prepared to deal with other Ōtsutsuki clans, right?"

Qianyu nodded: "That's right, facing the enemy, it is useless to hide blindly. We have to find a way to be stronger than them, so that we will not be threatened by them. Otherwise, this threat will always exist, and when they come, we will be completely helpless and at their mercy.

Now is a good time to accumulate experience. Otsutsuki Isshiki has not yet been resurrected, and Otsutsuki Kaguya is still sealed. They are now the best whetstones."

Orochimaru and Kabuto Yakushi agreed with Chiba's words.

Especially since the two of them are researchers, when they encounter problems during the scientific research process, they try to find ways to overcome them instead of leaving them alone.

Orochimaru then asked, "Then will Nagato, who has the Rinnegan, be in trouble now that he is following Jigen?"

Qianyu shook his head and said, "It won't be troublesome. We still have a trump card for Nagato. Yahiko is Nagato's best friend. When the time comes, we can just let Yahiko solve it. Even if Yahiko can't solve it, it won't be difficult for Nagato to solve it.

The importance of Nagato lies solely in his pair of Rinnegan. Nagato himself is actually very easy to deal with. Jigen's purpose in recruiting Nagato is probably to grasp the progress and monitor Black Zetsu.

Since Black Zetsu felt the power of Ōtsutsuki from Jigen, there is no reason why Jigen could not feel that Black Zetsu was the product of Ōtsutsuki Kaguya's will."

Orochimaru suggested: "Chiba, I think we can expand the number of members of our Owl Organization and improve their strength. At present, it seems that they can't help you at all with their current strength."

Qianyu asked doubtfully, "Teacher Orochimaru, how do you want to improve their strength?"

Orochimaru replied: "The Heaven and Earth Curse Seal is the most effective and direct way to improve your strength. Although the members may only be able to help you to a limited extent even with the Heaven and Earth Curse Seal, in the current situation, any increase in strength is a good thing, and I will continue to conduct research on improving strength."

Chiba agreed, "Alright, but we should still ask their opinions. Orochimaru-sensei, how is Kakashi's preparation for surgery going?"

Orochimaru nodded and said, "Kabuto and I can start at any time. As for the chance of success, I can only say that if this fails, then Kakashi's luck is extremely bad."

"Okay then. I'll ask Kakashi when he's free. When he's free, I'll go to Ryuchi Cave and help Kakashi with the surgery. I don't have any way to contact Jigen, so I can only wait for him to come to me. Then I'll find a way to get the body tissue from him."

Chiba returned home after leaving Orochimaru's base.

Not long after she sat down on the sofa to rest, Qianyu's ring began to flash.

Qianyu raised an eyebrow and muttered, "Are they so tacit? I just wanted to find Kakashi, and Kakashi called me himself."

Chiba establishes a connection with Kakashi.

After establishing contact, Kakashi said to Chiba: "Teacher, Sasuke came to me for help. He hopes that I can help him leave Konoha. I will help him leave Konoha in the evening, so tell the teacher in advance."

Qianyu replied: "Well, okay, after helping him leave Konoha, you don't need to worry about him. Let him solve the problems on his own and let him come to the Yinyin Village to find me. By the way, Orochimaru's surgery is ready. When you are free, do the surgery as soon as possible."

Kakashi agreed, "Okay, Sensei, I got it."

After Kakashi cut off contact with Chiba, he began to prepare.

Although he now knew the shielding method of Konoha's barrier, he could not tell Uchiha Sasuke about this method.

Because he told Uchiha Sasuke, Namikaze Minato immediately knew that it was he who helped Uchiha Sasuke leave Konoha.

Moreover, Qianyu had previously told Kakashi not to do this himself, but to let others do it for him.

Kakashi thought about it and suddenly had an idea.

Kakashi created two shadow clones and quietly left Konoha through the shielding barrier.

...

Uchiha Sasuke found Uchiha Izumi who had just returned from a mission.

"Sasuke!"

Uchiha Izumi happily came to Uchiha Sasuke and asked with concern: "Sasuke, are you feeling better?"

Uchiha Sasuke looked at Uchiha Izumi with a complicated expression.

Uchiha Sasuke has always known that Uchiha Izumi loves his sinful brother, even though Uchiha Itachi has done something unforgivable.

Perhaps it was because he loved Uchiha Sasuke so much, Uchiha Izumi cared about him very much and treated him very well, and Uchiha Sasuke could feel it as well.

After his parents passed away, although Uchiha Sasuke had fallen into darkness, the little light that Uchiha Izumi brought him still made Uchiha Sasuke happy.

Uchiha Sasuke said to Uchiha Izumi with a serious look in his eyes: "Sister Izumi, forget him and start a new life. You are such a gentle, kind and considerate person, he doesn't deserve your love!"

Uchiha Izumi's face froze instantly, and he laughed dryly: "Sasuke, what are you talking about?"

Uchiha Sasuke didn't say anything, just kept looking at Uchiha Izumi.

Uchiha Izumi could no longer maintain the forced smile on his face, and he lowered his head with a sad expression.

Uchiha Sasuke sighed and said, "I'm sorry, goodbye Sister Quan."

Uchiha Sasuke turned and left.

Uchiha Izumi raised his head and glanced at Uchiha Sasuke's departing back. Suddenly, his heart tightened. He felt that this "goodbye" from Uchiha Sasuke might mean that he would never see him again.

Uchiha Sasuke went to the place where Uzumaki Naruto was training and found Uzumaki Naruto.

Uzumaki Naruto, who was training, stopped and asked, "What's wrong?"

Uchiha Sasuke walked up to Uzumaki Naruto and said, "Naruto, you are right. I will no longer be confused, and I will not deny myself. I will turn my hatred into motivation to become stronger. So, I will pursue my own path."

Uzumaki Naruto said in surprise: "It looks like I won't be able to see you for a long time."

Uchiha Sasuke nodded and said, "I hope that next time we meet, I can catch up with you and be truly qualified to fight alongside you."

Uzumaki Naruto smiled and said: "Then you have worked hard."

"Work hard... I am not afraid of working hard, I am just afraid that the hard work will not yield any results. However, I think this time, my efforts will definitely bring me great rewards. So, see you later, Naruto."

Uchiha Sasuke extended his fist.

Uzumaki Naruto also stretched out his fist and bumped it with Uchiha Sasuke's fist.

"See you later, Sasuke."
