anwhile, inside the fortress where the Five Kage Summit was taking place.
The Konoha delegation was being checked by the samurai of the Land of Iron before entering the eting room.
Naruto's sudden turn made the others curious.
"Naruto? What's wrong?" Kakashi asked.
"Nothing. Just felt like soone was watching, a weird feeling. Maybe I'm just too tense..."
Naruto didn't see anything suspicious, then shook his head.
"Maybe the Land of Iron samurai are watching from hidden places?" Sakura guessed innocently.
The vigilant Kakashi frowned, then said to Sai:
"Sai, please check with your jutsu."
"Okay."
Sai drew an ink bird and sent it to the back of the second floor of the room to investigate.
◆━⊰✧⊱━◆
"Danger! Sothing's approaching!"
Karin's senses were very sharp. Even without looking, she felt Sai's ink bird approaching.
"There's nowhere to hide here! We'll be found out!" Suigetsu shouted in panic.
"Can't escape, huh!" Zetsu mocked with a sneering tone.
"Sasuke, what should we do?" Juugo asked firmly.
"Kill!"
Since they had been discovered, there was no need to hide anymore.
The confident and angry Sasuke didn't want to think too much.
After all, Danzo was right in front of his eyes, it was better to kill him directly before he joined the other Kage...
No one was allowed to stop him from avenging his beloved brother!
*KIIIIII!*
A sharp bird cry suddenly echoed in the empty room, followed by a blue flash of Chidori Eisou piercing Sai's ink bird.
Then, the figure leaped into the air and landed gracefully, appearing before everyone.
"Sasuke!"
Naruto and Sakura imdiately exclaid joyfully.
While Kakashi, Yamato, and Sai were wary. They were happy to see Sasuke, but his presence here was very inappropriate.
This wasn't a good place to et.
In the middle of this crowd, there was no chance to negotiate or protect Sasuke!
"There's an intruder!"
"That's the wanted Uchiha Sasuke!"
"Quick! Inform Mifune-sama and the Kage, send for reinforcents!"
The Land of Iron samurai imdiately panicked upon seeing Sasuke, starting to call for backup.
Naruto stepped forward, his face eager:
"Sasuke, why are you here? What are you doing?"
"What? Of course, killing this bastard Danzo! You and the Konoha higher-ups ordered Itachi to massacre the Uchiha clan, didn't you?"
Sasuke's gaze briefly flickered over Naruto and Sakura, then turned to Danzo with hateful eyes.
Danzo narrowed his eyes, not answering.
Although annoyed that Itachi had leaked this secret to Sasuke, his heart was actually rejoicing.
'He ca alone? How foolish! But good, the situation is very advantageous for .'
'Whether Naruto and the others capture Sasuke, or let the Kage kill him—both are good options!'
So Danzo deliberately shouted: "Kakashi, what are you waiting for? Imdiately capture this Konoha fugitive!"
"Wait, let persuade Sasuke! Give a chance!"
Naruto imdiately pleaded.
"Fool. The Raikage and the others will arrive soon, they won't hesitate!"
"Uzumaki Naruto, this is your only chance to save Uchiha Sasuke. Or do you want to fight all the Kage and drag Konoha into war?"
The cunning Danzo threatened again.
Naruto's choices were only two:
- Capture Sasuke himself quickly.
- Let the Raikage and the others kill Sasuke.
The first, Sasuke might survive.
The second, Sasuke would definitely die!
Naruto had no choice.
Danzo used his status as Hokage and Sasuke's wanted status to force him.
Of course, Danzo also considered that the Five Kage Summit hadn't started yet and he still had Naruto as an "ace."
Otherwise, when Sasuke appeared, he would have imdiately used Kotoamatsukami to control him.
"I... I..."
Naruto clenched his fists. After Jiraiya's death, he was no longer as naive as before. He knew this was a bad situation.
If not handled properly, he, Sakura, and the others would beco traitors to Konoha, even triggering a war...
The best way was to defeat Sasuke as quickly as possible, then escape from the fortress.
But while Naruto hesitated, Sasuke had already made his choice.
*SWISH!*
Suigetsu and Juugo jumped down, landing beside Sasuke.
"Can only exploit others for dirty purposes? You damn old dog! You guys deal with the others, I'll kill the old man!"
Sasuke hissed coldly. Then he himself attacked Danzo, his eyes full of killing intent, clearly already mad.
"No choice, stop him!"
Kakashi also had no way out.
It was impossible for them to just stand by and let Sasuke kill the current Hokage, right?
If Sasuke succeeded in killing the Hokage in front of them, they would all be considered traitors to Konoha.
If they failed, when the Kage arrived, Kakashi was sure Sasuke couldn't fight them...
"Mokuton: Jukai Koutan!"
Yamato imdiately attacked, releasing many wooden branches to capture Sasuke.
Sasuke drew Kusanagi, agilely dodging and cutting all the branches, then continued his attack on Danzo.
Yamato wanted to block again, but was intercepted by Juugo who ran quickly.
Kakashi also attacked, but was stopped by Suigetsu swinging his large sword.
Sakura bit her lip, clearly disagreeing with Sasuke's actions, but not firmly opposing him.
Sai tried to intercept, but couldn't keep up with Sasuke's speed.
"Leave it to !"
Naruto put his hands together, imdiately entering Sage Mode.
He disappeared from his spot, directly intercepting Sasuke.
Sage Mode's senses made Naruto's movents very sharp, successfully blocking Sasuke's attack with a kunai.
The two faced each other, noses almost touching.
"Sasuke, get out of here, or you'll die!"
"Oh? You loser, you think you can kill ? Forgot your defeat before? Where did your confidence co from?"
"No! I an you can't fight the Kage, stop this before it's too late! Let go of your hatred!"
"Let go? If you can bring back my father, brother, and the entire Uchiha Clan killed by Konoha, I'll stop!"
"I can't..."
"Can't? Then what are you wasting ti for? Naruto, if you keep getting in my way, I'll kill you!" Sasuke roared, his hatred reaching its peak.
"In that case, Sasuke, I have to defeat you here!"
Naruto also beca more resolute.
Sasuke in this condition clearly couldn't be reasoned with. But no matter what, Naruto wouldn't let others kill him.
So the only way was to defeat him here, knock him unconscious, and then take him ho to talk!
