Chapter 253 Return to Uzushio Village

The colorful shadows nodded in agreement.

They understand that in this challenging time, every decision may affect the final outcome.

Temporarily avoiding conflict with the Nine-Tailed Fox and concentrating on completing other goals can not only avoid unnecessary risks, but also better prepare for future battles.

Jue also secretly breathed a sigh of relief, not having to take the risk of monitoring Naruto relieved him of a lot of pressure.

He began to think about how to use his special abilities to collect intelligence from other channels and provide the team with more valuable information.

At Orochimaru's base, all preparations for relocation have been completed.

After arranging Kabuto's mission, Naruto threw him a scroll of spiritual stones and some necessities for training.

Naruto then took everyone else into the spiritual dimension, leaving behind Sasuke, Orochimaru and Kimimaro.

Accompany him all the way to the Land of Whirlpools.

The four of them set out on their journey, the sunlight shining on them, casting long shadows.

Sasuke remained silent as always, but his eyes revealed a hint of mixed emotions.

Naruto told him that there was a surprise waiting for him in the Whirlpool Country and the Whirlpool Village.

Orochimaru seemed relaxed, as if this journey was just a fun adventure.

Kimimaro followed Naruto closely, loyal and steadfast, always ready to fight for him.

Along the way, they passed through dense forests and crossed towering mountains, and the four of them seemed to be on a tour.

The sunlight shines through the gaps between the leaves, forming spots of light, like a dream.

The gentle breeze brings the fragrance of grass and trees, making people feel particularly comfortable.

As they got closer to the Land of Whirlpools, Naruto became more and more excited.

He went to Myoboku Mountain to practice in seclusion for two years. During these two years, he had almost no contact with his mother Uzumaki Kushina, and he didn't know how she was doing.

Naruto's heart was filled with anticipation and worry. He was looking forward to reuniting with his mother and worried about whether his mother had encountered any difficulties in the past two years.

He recalled every detail of his mother's resurrection, and those warm memories surged into his heart like a warm current.

Sasuke seemed to notice Naruto's change of mood and turned his head slightly to glance at him, but said nothing.

Orochimaru still looked nonchalant, as if he didn't care at all about Naruto's emotional fluctuations.

Kimimaro silently guarded Naruto and gave him silent support.

Finally, they saw the outline of Uzushio Village.

Naruto's heart beat faster involuntarily. He couldn't wait to see his mother and tell her about his experiences and growth in the past two years.

He quickened his pace and ran towards Uzushio Village, with Sasuke, Orochimaru and Kimimaro following closely behind.

But the moment they stepped into the territory of Uzushio Village, Sasuke's eyes suddenly widened.

Because Sasuke saw an extremely incredible scene.

That is the emblem of the Uchiha clan.

Sasuke's heart was filled with shock. He never expected to see the family emblem in this place, which should have disappeared with the demise of the Uchiha clan.

His eyes were filled with confusion, shock and complex emotions.

Naruto looked at Sasuke with a smile on his face, as if he had anticipated his reaction.

"Sasuke, you're surprised, right? There are many things here that you can't imagine." Naruto said softly.

Sasuke stared at the clan emblem, then slowly turned to look at Naruto, waiting for his explanation.

Naruto raised his chin slightly, with a hint of mystery in his eyes. "I'll keep going." Naruto took the lead and went deeper.

Sasuke's brows were furrowed, questions flooding his mind like a tide.

He couldn't wait to know the truth behind it all, and Naruto slowly led him to uncover the mystery.

Just as they were about to arrive at Uzushio Village, several figures appeared in front of Naruto and the others.

Naruto looked carefully and saw that it was Shisui.

When Shisui saw the person coming, he was stunned at first, and then he was ecstatic.

There was a gleam of excitement in his eyes, as if he saw the dawn of hope.

Then, he and the Uchiha members behind him knelt on one knee: "Leader, you are finally back."

Naruto watched this scene helplessly. After two years, Shisui still looked like this.

He sighed softly, knowing that Shisui's loyalty and persistence had never changed.

Sasuke, who was standing beside him, had a look of shock on his face.

Uchiha Shisui, Uchiha Ergou, Uchiha Gousheng, Uchiha Goudan... familiar faces appeared in his eyes.

"Aren't they dead? Wasn't the Uchiha clan exterminated by that guy? Why, why are they still alive."

A series of questions emerged in his mind, and then his heart couldn't help but beat wildly.

If they were still alive, did that mean that my parents were also alive? It was just that I saw with my own eyes that the guy had indeed killed my parents.

Sasuke's eyes were full of confusion, desire and pain, and he desperately wanted to know the truth behind it all.

Naruto smiled as he watched Sasuke's reaction. He could understand his shock and confusion. He walked over, patted Sasuke's shoulder gently, and said, "Sasuke, why are you standing there? Come on."

Sasuke came back to his senses a little after being hit by Naruto, but his eyes were still full of doubt and confusion.

Shisui was also surprised after hearing what Naruto said: "You are little Sasuke? After so many years, you have grown up."

As he said this, Shisui walked up to Sasuke and touched his head.

Sasuke subconsciously tilted his head slightly, a little uncomfortable with Shisui's sudden closeness.

However, looking at Shisui's familiar and warm eyes, Sasuke felt a surge of mixed emotions in his heart.

Past memories came flooding back like a tide, those days spent with the Uchiha clan, those times mixed with happiness and pain.

Orochimaru watched this scene with interest, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised, as if he was thinking about the various connections involved.

Kimimaro remained vigilant, silently observing the situation around him.

Led by Shisui and a group of Uchiha members, Naruto and Sasuke continued to walk towards Uzushio Village.

Sasuke looked at Shisui, his lips moved, but he didn't know what to say.

Shisui seemed to see what Sasuke was thinking, and said with a smile: "Sasuke, don't worry, we can talk about many things slowly."

The group continued to move forward and soon arrived at the center of Uzushio Village.

The buildings here have been completely renovated. I haven't been back for two years and the village has become more prosperous.

Naruto looked at everything around him, feeling a lot of emotions in his heart.

He knew that Uzushio Village had a special meaning to him. It was not only his mother's hometown, but also a place he had to protect.
