Naruto: Mikoto and Tsunade, don't let either of them go.

"Chika, I also have a lot of things to do. I'll come and keep you company when I have time, okay?"

Hearing her father's words, Uchiha Chinatsu nodded reluctantly, agreeing with a touch of helplessness:

"Alright, then Father, please be careful."

Hearing his daughter's words, Uchiha Kakuyama's smile deepened.

Compared to his son, he still prefers his sweet and soft daughter.

Just a short while later, led by Qing, Lei Dao-Ya followed him in.

Just then, Raida noticed Uchiha Kagami standing nearby with a smile on his face. After being startled, he bowed to him and said:

"It's been a long time, Lord Uchiha Kakuyama."

He never expected to see Uchiha Kakuyama again here.

At this moment, Lei Dao-Ya's aura was much better; he no longer had the violent and gloomy temperament he had before, but was much gentler.

Chapter 428: The Tailed Beast of the Hidden Rock Village

Uchiha Kakuzan simply nodded in response to Kiba's greeting and said nothing more.

Although he and Mei Terumi were very close, she was still the Mizukage of Kirigakure, so he naturally wouldn't interfere with her decisions.

After simply accepting Kiba's surrender, Mei Terumi said nothing more.

In this ninja world, there is basically no such thing as eternal loyalty, so even if Kiba returns to Kirigakure, he cannot be completely trusted now.

After taking care of the teeth, Mei Terumi looked at Okayama-kun again and asked:

"Kiu Shan-kun, what are you going to do this time, and when will you be back? If you can't come back in time, I'll take them to Konoha Village first."

Mei Terumi only knew that Okayama-kun was going to do something, but she didn't know the specifics, which is why she asked that question.

Given the distance between Kirigakure and Konoha, without Qiushan-kun's escort, one would have to set off immediately to make it to the Chunin Exams; otherwise, it would be impossible to get there in time.

Upon hearing Mei Terumi's words, Uchiha Kakuyama reached out and gently pinched her pretty cheek, then said:

"I'm going out this time to visit Iwagakure and pick up some things."

I'll be back soon. When I return, I'll take you and Chika to Konoha Village.

In that case, you won't have to endure the hardship of traveling.

Hearing what Qiushan-kun said, Terumi Mei nodded gently and said:

"Then be careful and come back soon."

Knowing the strength of the Mountain Lord, even though Iwagakure was a powerful ninja village that had surpassed Kirigakure, Mei Terumi wasn't too worried about the Mountain Lord's safety, so she only gave him a simple instruction.

Upon hearing Mei Terumi's words, Uchiha Kakuzan simply nodded, gave her a smile, and then disappeared from the spot.

Uchiha Kakuzan was quite familiar with Iwagakure, after all, he had caused a great disturbance there before, not only copying Onoki's Kekkei Tota but also stealing the Scroll of Sealing, which threw Iwagakure into chaos for a long time.

When Uchiha Kakuzan arrived at the mountain peak not far from Iwagakure, he had already donned camouflage techniques. Combined with the concealment techniques he had obtained from White Zetsu, his arrival was completely silent, and no one could detect his presence.

"Whirlpool Secret Technique - Kagura's Mind's Eye - Open"

With Uchiha Kakuzan activating his sensory technique, the entire Hidden Stone Village held no secrets from him.

Ok?

However, just as Uchiha Kakuzan was carefully sensing the Hidden Stone Village, he frowned slightly, because he only found a huge chakra cluster in the Hidden Stone Village, which meant that there was only one Jinchuriki in the Hidden Stone Village.

This is also what puzzled Uchiha Kakuzan. In his memory, Iwagakure was a powerful ninja village with two Jinchūriki: the Four-Tails Son Goku and the Five-Tails Kokuō.

However, in his perception, only the existence of one Jinchūriki was detected.

Sigh, this is getting a bit troublesome!

Uchiha Kagami sighed inwardly as he expanded the range of Kagura's Mind's Eye. Even after carefully sensing the area within a 20-mile radius of Iwagakure, he still found nothing, which made him frown slightly.

Well, let's catch one if we can.

Uchiha Kakuzan originally thought there should be two tailed beasts in Kirigakure.

With his strength, suppressing them together would be a very easy task, saving me a trip.

In the end, things didn't go as planned.

After sensing it carefully once more, he found that the chakra cluster was quite far away from others. Without any hesitation, he transformed into Onoki's appearance and used the Light-Heavy Rock Technique to fly over to that location in a grand manner.

Yanyin Village Guard Post

At this moment, two ninjas dressed in Iwagakure (Hidden Stone Village) uniforms were on duty.

Suddenly, one of them seemed to sense something flashing across the sky, and his nerves immediately tensed up as he looked in that direction.

Seeing the Tsuchikage Onoki flying leisurely in the sky, the man breathed a sigh of relief, wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, and subconsciously said:

"So it was the Third Tsuchikage. You startled me."

Since the inexplicable attack on Iwagakure last time, and the apparent loss of something very important from the Tsuchikage's building, Iwagakure has not only dispatched a large number of ninjas to investigate,

Even the village itself has very strict checks, so those on duty are on high alert.

Upon hearing his words, his companion beside him instinctively looked at the Tsuchikage who had already flown past and replied:

"The Earth Shadow Lord's technique is the Light and Heavy Rock Technique, the most difficult Earth Release technique to master. There are very few people in the entire Hidden Stone Village who can master it."

Moreover, the Tsuchikage is the most esteemed person in our Iwagakure village; how dare anyone impersonate him?

As he spoke, he watched the figure of the earth shadow depart, his eyes filled with longing.

This longing is not only for the Tsuchikage, but also for the longing for flight. As long as one is human, one basically has the desire to fly in the sky. However, there are very few ninjutsu that can make one fly in the sky. The Light-Weight Rock Technique used by the Tsuchikage is one of them.

After entering Iwagakure, Uchiha Kakuzan didn't foolishly rush into the center of the village. Instead, he skirted the edges of the village and approached the huge chakra cluster.

The low-level henchmen on guard duty outside were obviously not very clear about Onoki's whereabouts, so Uchiha Kakuzan could use Onoki's appearance and his signature ninjutsu—Light-Heavy Rock Technique—to swagger past them.

However, if his whereabouts were discovered by those close to Onoki, or by Onoki himself, they would definitely recognize him immediately and launch an attack.

Fortunately, the Jinchuriki living in Iwagakure was located in a remote part of the village, which is why Uchiha Kagakuyama used this method.

Nothing unexpected happened along the way. After all, with the appearance of the Tsuchikage, who would dare to cause him trouble?

Just as Uchiha Kagami finally approached the location he sensed, he saw that unusually tall figure.

The man was sitting on the rooftop, looking at the distant scenery. He was wearing a tan armor, a bright red hat, and a red mask, leaving only his red eyes visible.

Chapter 429 The Man Who Came to the Door

Although Uchiha Kakuzan made no sound while flying through the air, the person still noticed him as he approached, turned around and looked at him, but did not show any hostility in his eyes.

Seeing this, Uchiha Kakuyama's heart stirred slightly. He nodded to him, and while subtly approaching, asked:

"Han, what are you doing sitting here?"

Indeed, the moment Uchiha Kakuyama saw this burly man, he immediately recognized him as Han, the Five-Tails Jinchuriki.

Upon seeing Uchiha Kakuyama, Han also stood up. His imposing figure appeared to be more than twice the size of Onoki.

"Lord Third Generation, I was just staring blankly at the village, what brings you here?"

Upon hearing Han's words, Uchiha Kakuzan nodded imperceptibly, and as he approached Han, he said:

"I just had nothing else to do, so I came over to take a look."

As Uchiha Kakuzan said this, he reached out and gently patted Han's shoulder with his right hand. With his current proficiency in space-time ninjutsu, as long as he patted him, he could take the Five-Tails Jinchuriki to an uninhabited place. At that time, this guy would be at his mercy.

Squeak~

Just as Uchiha Kakuzan's hand was about to touch Han's shoulder, a large amount of white mist rose from his body, and at that moment, Han quickly moved away from Uchiha Kakuzan.

When Uchiha Kakuzan looked expressionlessly at Han not far away, Han's eyes were already filled with hostility, and he roared:

"You are not the Third Hokage. Who are you? How dare you impersonate the Third Hokage? Do you want to be an enemy of Iwagakure?"

Upon hearing Han's words, Uchiha Kagakusan's expression remained unchanged, and he said in a very calm tone:

"Oh, it seems we've been found out. What a pity. I didn't want to turn Iwagakure upside down."

However, although Uchiha Kakuzan said it was a pity, there was no trace of regret in his tone. Instead, there was a hint of excitement.

Han was already wary of the cowardly fellow in front of him, but after hearing his words, he was shocked. In that instant, he felt that the guy he was facing was far more terrifying than a tailed beast.

Buzz~~

Han was not one to hesitate. Upon sensing the abnormality, he immediately activated his Tailed Beast Cloak, covering his body with an orange-red chakra cloak, and a tail formed of chakra extended from behind him.

Han, who was now ready for battle, no longer held back. After letting out a roar, he charged towards Uchiha Kakuyama at an even faster speed, releasing a large amount of white steam from his body.

"Boil Release - Unparalleled strength! You cowardly coward, die!!"

As Han, clad in a tailed beast cloak, approached, a large amount of steam emerged from his body. This steam seemed to come alive, instantly increasing Han's power, which he then unleashed towards Uchiha Kakuyama.

"Superhuman strength? I'll give it a try."

Uchiha Kakuzan had initially intended to dodge, but at this moment he changed his mind. Without any unusual physical signs, he simply raised his fist to meet the charging Han as usual.

"Bang~~"

With a muffled thud, a red shadow shot off in the opposite direction like a cannonball, crashing into buildings along the way and creating a continuous booming sound.

As a gust of wind swept by, a figure hidden in the white steam was revealed. The person was very clean, without any signs of fighting. It was Uchiha Kakuyama.

"Well, this power is just average."

Uchiha Kakuzan flicked his hand lightly, looking at the man who had been sent flying far away by his punch, and muttered to himself.

Since acquiring the Sage Body and learning Tsunade's superhuman strength, Uchiha Kakuyama has never encountered anyone who could rival him in terms of power.

However, Uchiha Kakuzan did not wait for Han to stop completely. With a light tap of his foot, he transformed into a bright white lightning bolt and chased after Han.

Meanwhile, at the Tsuchikage Building, Onoki was floating in mid-air, looking at the map spread out on his desk with a serious expression, seemingly lost in thought.

Just then, a little girl with black hair rushed in, shouting at Onoki:

"Grandpa, something bad has happened! The sensory team reported that there's a large-scale chakra eruption in the northwest corner of our village, and there might be an enemy invasion."

Hearing his granddaughter's words, Onoki's face also showed anger. At the same time, he looked at the map hanging on the wall and subconsciously muttered:

"Northwest corner? Oh no!!!"

Just then, Onoki finally reacted, and while flying towards the window, he shouted:

"Kurotsuchi, immediately issue a level one alert. That intruder is very likely targeting the Five-Tails Jinchuriki."

As soon as Onoki finished speaking, a rumbling sound came from the northwest corner.

"Damn it, don't let me catch you!!"

Upon hearing this sound, Onoki realized that a fight had broken out over there, and he flew towards it as fast as he could, cursing loudly.

Hei Tu, who was left behind, immediately realized what his grandfather was saying and ran off in another direction.

······

"Boiling Escape - Steam Advancement"

At this moment, Han's tailed beast cloak had revealed three tails, and the large gourd behind him was like a steam train, spewing out a large amount of steam, making Han's already tall body look like a heavily armored tank as he charged towards Uchiha Kakuyama.

Seeing the unstoppable man before him, Uchiha Kakuzan raised his eyebrows. Instead of confronting him head-on, he lightly pushed off with his feet and flew into the sky.

"Damn guy."

When Han saw the person in front of him fly into the sky, a look of annoyance flashed in his eyes, but he could only abandon his attack.

However, even so, Han did not give up. The three tails that appeared behind him then swept towards Uchiha Okayama.

Seeing the tails about to hit him, Uchiha Kakuzan's eyes flashed with amusement, but he did not refuse this freebie. He simply reached out and grabbed the three tails.

"The Hungry Ghost Realm of the Six Paths—Devour!"

Chapter 430 Absorbing Tailed Beast Chakra

Originally, Han, the Five-Tails Jinchuriki, upon seeing his enemy not even flinching from his attacks, a cold smile flickered in his red eyes.

Heh, damn it, you're so arrogant when facing the chakra of a tailed beast. Well then, I'll show you how terrifying the chakra of a tailed beast truly is.

Tailed beast chakra is completely different from ordinary chakra because it has a terrifying corrosive power that ordinary people cannot resist. Even Naruto, who possesses the terrifying regenerative ability unique to the Uzumaki clan, had his skin completely corroded before he had fully mastered the Nine-Tails' chakra.

Therefore, when he saw this cowardly fellow dare to touch the tail formed from the tailed beast's chakra with both hands, he sneered inwardly. Instead of controlling the tail to avoid him, he further increased the amount of chakra on it.

However, just as a cold smile appeared on Han's lips, the three tails formed from the tailed beast's chakra swept towards him.

Bang~~
