Chapter 600 Konoha Begins Feeding the God Tree

No one knows who spread the rumor that the Lord had been defeated by the Otsutsuki clan, so all sorts of demons and monsters hidden in various places came out.

Heiji was just an ordinary person who was preparing to enjoy his retirement. However, after handling his last political affairs, he was assassinated on the way, and his body is now cold.

Poor Heiji could have lived another twenty years. Not only him, but Ida Kota was also assassinated. It's just that he was stronger and the assassin who was looking for him died.

If he didn't kill him, it was his child who did it, just one punch.

The group was still considering that they might become a decent fighting force in the future and were worth investing heavily in developing.

Before leaving, Kakuzu left a sum of money, telling Wuwei to rebuild properly, using good materials, not just blueprints, and to restore it to its original state as much as possible.

He can be vague about other things, but when it comes to restoring Longyin Village to its original state, he won't care about money. Perhaps this is not just because of Aburame Shisei, but because he also has feelings for the village.

Meanwhile, in Konoha Village, let's rewind to two days earlier.

Kurama Yakumo encountered the prophecy again in his dream. This time, the dream was incredibly vivid, and the old man's words remained clearly in his mind.

The demons will be trapped for five years, which is their best chance to grow.

The next day, she told Naruto and Sasuke about it, and that's how the previous incident happened.

This time, Kakashi Hatake still led the team, with Naruto and Sasuke joining in. The Tailed Beast Prison was guarded by Shii Aburame and the Holy Knights led by Tina.

After the One-Tailed Beast was captured, no one needed it, so it became a sand sifter. Its daily task was to sift through the sand in the desert, turning the highly saline sand into the most suitable building material.

Although life was miserable, he was also comfortable, since no one here feared him, and no one would think of imprisoning him inside their stomachs to make him a human jinchūriki.

Of course, he didn't trust anyone, and even harbored some hatred towards them, after all, they had killed his best friend.

His words when he was captured were, "I will never, ever forgive you. The Hyuga clan killed my best friend, and the others trampled on my dignity."

However, when those Mangekyou Sharingan appeared, he almost cursed inwardly. Why was it him again? He was already so weak; anyone could easily beat him. Why did they still need to capture him?

Why? Naturally, to feed him to the Ten-Tails. Of course, if he's obedient, he can also become Gaara's pet.

Shukaku was speechless. He was treated like a plaything. Sometimes he really wondered if the Sage of Six Paths created them just to divert power and prevent his mother from being resurrected.

As for the woman guarding him, Shino Aburame, she was undoubtedly knocked down by Sasuke's single glance. He originally wanted to finish her off, but at the crucial moment, Shino Aburame intervened and saved his father. While running, he shouted that he had notified the others and they would be there soon.

Sasuke Uchiha stopped pursuing him and quickly disappeared.

Meanwhile, Naruto used a different tactic. "Oni-gyu, return to our embrace! The Sage of Six Paths needs your help!"

Upon hearing that it was the Sage of Six Paths' order, this licking beast immediately fawned over him. If it weren't for the fact that it had no waist or buttocks, it would probably kneel on the ground, stick its butt out, and swear an oath of loyalty to the death.

However, Dina was not so lucky. Originally, it was Wuwei who controlled the Ghost Bull, but he was suddenly transferred away because of the war.

It was already weak and couldn't win. Naruto's appearance only fueled the Eight-Tails' arrogance. Naruto didn't kill many people, but the Eight-Tails began to go on a killing spree.

Fortunately, Kakashi Hatake appeared in time and notified them to evacuate immediately, and also took Kisame Hoshigaki, who was in labor camp, with him.

God knows, he'll be released after serving his full five-year sentence. Now, being forced to join a villainous organization is an even bigger crime. If he gets caught next time, he might face the death penalty.

Next, they planned to launch a surprise attack on the Three-Tails and the Six-Tails, but Yukimaru did not participate in that battle and did not die and come back to life.

While their strength wasn't enough to kill the three, it was enough to keep them occupied.

"We were already missing the Seven-Tails, so losing a few more won't matter. Let's give up." Kakashi Hatake timed it out and, seeing that he still couldn't capture it, led the group back to Konoha.

Unfortunately, Kisame Hoshigaki was too stubborn. No matter how Naruto and the others tried to persuade him, he refused to join Konoha. In the end, the only option for such a stubborn person was to feed him to the God Tree.

Looking at the white bodies hanging there, trapped in the Eternal Dream for the first time, both Naruto and Sasuke were a little confused. Some things, no matter the reason, once done, are the beginning.

Next up are Temari and Kankuro, because they have been completely brainwashed. Now that they have escaped control, they are preparing to cause trouble in the village and even plan to inscribe special spell formations to leave coordinates for the enemies outside.

"Gaara, stop being so stubborn. Look at your village now, look at their living conditions, look at yourselves. How are you any of the winners? How do you represent justice?"

"Sister, brother, I always thought we were together. Perhaps I can make up for this feeling by being with you, but it's not me who has changed, it's you. With Naruto, I'm enough!" Gaara said expressionlessly, closing his eyes for them. "Hang them on the Divine Tree. Perhaps in their dreams they will at least be happy."

After saying that, he turned around and hugged Naruto. "Naruto, now I really only have you left. I'm in so much pain."

"Yes, me too. I feel the same way. Don't worry, we'll work together, and one day we'll change this twisted world."

"No! No, what are you doing? What are you going to do? I don't want to go back!" Shukaku, the One-Tailed Beast, cursed loudly as he was dragged back to the Divine Tree.

But the demon pulled him along into the sacred tree, saying, "Shukaku, your life was given to you by the master. Now do you want to rebel?"

"You're fucking crazy, don't drag me into this!" Shukaku cursed, but he was no match for Gyu-oni.

"You've been bewitched by them too!"

"I may have misled your grandmother, but I only listen to myself. Is that not allowed?"

"It seems you've truly been bewitched." The two tailed beasts fought and cursed each other before merging into the divine tree. Two more eyes opened on the divine tree, and its vitality became even stronger.

Gaara looked at Shukaku without a trace of pity in his eyes; he only had eyes for Naruto.

Five years have passed in the blink of an eye…
