Chapter 161 A New Peace
Pain exchanged a look with Konan and prepared to take Uchiha Sasuke back to Akatsuki.
Seeing this, Sakura's heart tightened and a feeling of despair and helplessness surged in her heart.
How could she let Sasuke be taken away?
So she shouted loudly: "Sasage! Can you come back to Konoha Village with me..." There was a hint of urgency and pleading in Sakura's voice.
Uchiha Sasuke just shook his head slightly, his eyes were firm and resolute, as if he had made a decision that could not be changed.
Sakura looked at the boy in front of her who had grown up with her and fought side by side with her, and her heart was filled with pain and helplessness.
She didn't understand why Sasuke became like this. Was there really no way to change his mind?
"Sasuke, we can go back to Konoha Village together. There are your teacher and friends there, and everyone will welcome you back." Sakura tried to persuade Sasuke, but her voice sounded a little weak.
Sasuke looked at Sakura coldly, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, revealing a sarcastic smile.
"Sakura, Konoha Village is no longer the home I feel in my heart." His voice was low and powerful, and every word was like a hammer, striking the hearts of everyone present.
When Sakura heard this, her face turned pale instantly and tears welled up in her eyes involuntarily.
She didn't expect Sasuke to be so decisive and not leave any room for negotiation.
"Sasuke, how can you say that? Konoha Village is our home!" Sakura's voice trembled slightly, and her heart completely collapsed at this moment.
Sasuke's eyes were still cold. He slowly raised his hand and gently stroked his forehead.
"My path is revenge and destroying the place where I lost everything."
His voice was deep and powerful, as if it contained endless anger and hatred.
Sakura's eyes widened as she looked at Sasuke in disbelief.
She knew that Sasuke had always held a deep hatred for Uchiha Itachi, but she had never thought that this hatred would lead him down a path of no return.
Sakura finally couldn't hold back her tears and she reached out to grab Sasuke's clothes, hoping to stop him from leaving.
Sasuke ruthlessly shook off her hand, turned around and walked away.
Sakura stood there blankly, looking at Sasuke's departing back, her heart filled with despair and helplessness.
She didn't know how to face all this, nor did she know how to save Sasuke's heart that was blinded by hatred.
At this moment, Black Zetsu cautiously came behind Kaguya Otsutsuki.
Hei Zetsu's face was filled with joy as if he saw his mother, and his eyes were shining with excitement.
It bowed its head respectfully, its body trembling slightly, and shouted excitedly: "Mother!"
Kaguya Otsutsuki did not respond to his call as Black Zetsu expected.
She turned around slowly, her eyes deep and mysterious, as if she could see through everything.
There was a kind of indifference and alienation in her eyes that made people shudder.
Black Zetsu looked up in surprise, looking at the woman in front of him who looked exactly like Kaguya Otsutsuki in his memory, but he sensed a completely different aura.
Kaguya Otsutsuki looked at Black Zetsu expressionlessly and said softly, "I am not the Kaguya Otsutsuki you know. I am Kaguya from another world."
When Black Zetsu heard this, the joy on his face froze instantly, as if it had been doused with a basin of cold water.
He took a few steps back in disbelief, muttering to himself, "So that's it..." His eyes revealed deep disappointment.
Kaguya Otsutsuki sighed softly and continued, "But you don't need to be too disappointed."
"Yuxi has rescued the original Kaguya Otsutsuki of this world. She is now resting on the moon, waiting for the opportunity to return to the human world."
When Black Zetsu heard this, a gleam of light flashed in his eyes.
He raised his head and stared at Kaguya Otsutsuki, and asked excitedly as if he had grasped the last straw: "Are you telling the truth?"
Kaguya Otsutsuki nodded and replied firmly, "Of course!"
Hei Zetsu couldn't help but look back at Yu Xi, his heart was filled with complex emotions - awe, gratitude, and a hint of indescribable fear.
Yuxi remained calm and composed the entire time, as if all this was within her expectations.
Her eyes were deep and distant, as if she had seen through all the possibilities of the future.
With the departure of Black Zetsu, Pain and Konan were also ready to leave with Uchiha Sasuke.
Their figures gradually disappeared into the distance, leaving behind silence.
The scene was dead silent, as if time had stopped at this moment.
The air was filled with a solemn atmosphere that made people feel suffocated.
Kakashi, Sakura and Yamato stood there quietly, their eyes revealing unspeakable helplessness.
Naruto Uzumaki, lying on the ground, closed his eyes and fell into a coma. His weak breathing became the only sound in the silence.
Sakura bit her lips tightly, tears welling up in her eyes, but she tried hard not to let them fall.
Her eyes remained on Naruto the entire time, her heart filled with worry for him.
Kakashi looked into the distance silently, with a hint of confusion in his eyes.
He thought back to the days he had spent with Sasuke, and the memories came flooding back to him, making him feel heartbroken.
At this moment, Sasuke had disappeared into the distance.
Only a receding figure was left behind, which was deeply imprinted in everyone's heart.
Yamato also remained silent, as he was well aware of the pain and loss this battle had brought to everyone.
Yuxi took light steps and slowly walked towards the crowd.
Her eyes exuded an aura of indifference that was otherworldly, as if she had seen through everything in the world.
"Sister Kaguya and I are about to leave this world and return to where we belong." Yuxi said softly, her voice calm and gentle.
"I have destroyed many ninja villages. Now, only Konoha Village and Rain Village remain in the ninja world."
"I hope you can maintain this rare peace." Yu Xi's gaze swept across everyone present, deep expectations revealed in his eyes.
Yamato stood there quietly, and after a moment of silence, a hint of determination flashed in his eyes.
"That's right. No matter how bumpy the road ahead is, we will always be Konoha's ninjas."
"To protect the village, even at the cost of life, this is our mission." Kakashi turned his head and stared at Yuxi.
Yuxi nodded slightly to show her agreement.
She turned her gaze to the unconscious Naruto and said gently, "Please give my regards to Naruto and tell him that the world needs him and Konoha cannot do without him."
As a breeze blew by, Yuxi took Otsutsuki Kaguya's hand, and the two figures gradually disappeared from the spot.
Kakashi, Sakura and Yamato looked serious, they knew very well that the days ahead would probably not be easy.
They have to shoulder the heavy responsibility of protecting Konoha Village and are determined to fight for peace in the ninja world.
On the way back to Konoha Village, Kakashi looked into the distance thoughtfully.
He knew that peace was hard-won and the road to safeguarding peace was destined to be full of difficulties and obstacles.
But he firmly believes that as long as they have faith, they will be able to overcome all difficulties.
Sakura clenched her fists tightly and vowed to herself to work hard to become stronger.
Not only do they have to protect the village, but they also have to find a way to win back Sasuke.
They returned to Konoha Village and reported the situation to the Fifth Hokage Tsunade.
Tsunade was a little surprised, but then that surprise turned into a warm smile.
It was like the first flowers blooming in spring, bringing a touch of vitality to the Konoha Village that had experienced countless storms.
Only Konoha Village and the Hidden Rain Village remain in the ninja world, and it is the beginning of new challenges and responsibilities.
She patted Kakashi's shoulder and said in a deep voice: "Kakashi, the real test is still to come."
"What we need to do is not only to protect this land, but also to protect the peace and hope in people's hearts."
Tsunade gave the order and the Anbu personnel quickly followed it and left.
Their figures disappeared into the night, like guardians in the darkness, silently carrying out orders.
When Danzo learned the news, his initial anger and resentment were like dark clouds before a storm.
But soon, reason and the overall situation made him make a decision.
He sat in a dim secret room, tightly holding the ring that symbolized power.
A trace of determination flashed in his eyes: "Root Organization, it's time to end its mission."
He spoke slowly, his voice low and powerful, every word was like a heavy hammer, knocking on the shackles of the old times.
Following Danzo's order, the Root organization, once a secretive and powerful entity.
Like weathered rock, it gradually disintegrates and disappears.
Its members were reassigned into the Anbu, becoming a more solid backing for Konoha Village.
This change not only marks a reshuffle of power, but also an important step for Konoha Village to move towards a new era.
When Uzumaki Naruto woke up, it was already early morning the next day.
The sunlight shines through the window onto his slightly tired but determined face.
He rubbed his temples, trying to recall the last scene before he fell into a coma.
When he learned the news that Yuxi and Kaguya Otsutsuki had left this world, a complex emotion flashed in his eyes.
"Sister Yuxi, thank you for everything you have done for this world." Naruto said silently in his heart.
After recovering, Naruto did not rest for a moment and quickly plunged into even more arduous training.
He knew very well that only by constantly improving his own strength could he better protect Konoha Village and everything he cherished.
