A family with an elder is like possessing a treasure.
As long as this elder is not a puppet of Akihara Kagura.
The words of the Third Tsuchikage, Onoki, visibly invigorated many ninjas, even causing other mature-thinking ninjas to nod secretly.
As long as they are doing the right thing, as long as the purpose is to protect the Ninja World, nothing the enemy does should ever shake their will!
Accompanied by the speech of the Third Tsuchikage, Onoki, the Will of Stone from the Hidden Rock Village quickly spread, saving the precarious Ninja Alliance...
Unfortunately.
Their opponents were no longer interested in entangling with the Ninja Alliance.
Land of Thunder.
On a gigantic Turtle Island.
Nobody knows how old this turtle is; it has been roaming in the Land of Thunder, with its back having evolved into a massive forest and a complete ecological chain.
Similarly.
This is also the training ground for the Jinchuriki of The Hidden Cloud Village.
The most critical two Jinchurikis of this war are here.
This is the training place for the Jinchuriki of The Hidden Cloud Village, which is also why the Hidden Cloud Village can always deploy Jinchuriki to participate in wars; each generation of Jinchuriki would train here, reflecting their inner self in front of this waterfall.
The Eight-Tails Jinchuriki, Killer Bee, is considered the most exceptional Jinchuriki in the Ninja World; since childhood, he has been free-spirited and took the responsibility to lead Naruto Uzumaki to this waterfall, hoping Naruto could unlock a complete Tailed Beast Transformation to have the power to protect himself in this war.
Yamato led a team of Anbu Ninja to protect them, also worried about any mishaps happening to Naruto Uzumaki, ready to restrain Naruto, who might run amok at any moment.
During this time, Killer Bee has been serving as Naruto Uzumaki's teacher, consistently teaching him how to train under the waterfall, until reaching today's level.
Almost...
It's time for Naruto Uzumaki to proceed to the next step of training.
"Behind the waterfall!"
The Eight-Tails Jinchuriki, Killer Bee, made a gesture and stepped into the waterfall: "Let me show you... The Hidden Cloud Village's training ground!"
Under Killer Bee's lead, the group walked into the area behind the waterfall, which was a world unto itself; the waterfall served as a natural barrier, blocking all intruders.
After passing through the waterfall, they saw the buildings hidden within its depths, several varying towers stood inside, with headless statues placed on both sides.
"It's right here..."
The Eight-Tails Jinchuriki, Killer Bee, raised his finger, pointing towards the depths of the building: "Begin the battle with the Nine-Tails!"
After saying this, Killer Bee walked further inside.
"Is it here?"
Naruto Uzumaki followed Killer Bee, stepping in step by step.
"That's right! Idiot!"
Killer Bee nodded while leading them further inside, actively introducing the place: "This is the guardian ground of the spirits of our Hidden Cloud Village ancestors; we will go inside to open the door, sit down inside! Close your eyes! Concentrate your mind!"
"..."
Naruto Uzumaki slowly nodded and followed inside.
No matter what happens inside, Naruto Uzumaki will not be surprised anymore.
Because during this period, he experienced the return of his companion who became a traitorous ninja and also saw his biological father, the Fourth Hokage, Namikaze Minato, accepted the teachings of his father reanimated using the Reanimation Jutsu on the nature change of Rasengan, and strived to learn Sage Mode from his father, when he thought the future of his life would be all bright, he saw his most respected brother become the most terrifying mastermind behind the scenes in the Ninja World.
Honestly...
Fortunately, Naruto Uzumaki's mindset is strong enough.
If his mindset were weaker, he might not be able to accept the reality.
At that moment, a figure suddenly appeared beside him using Flying Thunder God Jutsu, startling everyone present, causing them to instinctively raise their guard!
"It's me."
Uchiha Sasuke extended his hand, grabbing the about-to-draw-sword Killer Bee, and said in a deep voice: "I just came to inform you, the Ninja Alliance has been defeated, Kagura will probably be heading over soon..."
"The Alliance was defeated?"
Everyone present was shocked!
The Ninja Alliance had nearly a hundred-thousand people!
Even if it were a hundred thousand pigs, Akihara Kagura couldn't finish them off in three days!
"If I remember correctly..."
Yamato's forehead dripped a bead of cold sweat, cautiously saying: "Today should be the gathering day for the Ninja Alliance..."
They had just gathered...
And they were already directly defeated!
"That's right."
Uchiha Sasuke nodded and explained in a deep voice: "The alliance commander, Salamander Hanzo, is Kagura's puppet; he used Hanzo to directly enter the alliance's midst, defeated the hundred-thousand Ninja Alliance all by himself, and Madara and I came specifically to protect you..."
"Big Brother... what about them?"
Killer Bee also had cold sweat trickling down his face.
"You know..."
Uchiha Sasuke glanced at Killer Bee and said: "At least until now, no one has been a match for Akihara Kagura; even Madara considers himself not a match for Kagura..."
"And one more thing..."
A tall figure stepped through the waterfall, walking in step by step, with a cold voice: "If truly in the worst-case scenario in the Ninja World, I hope you two Jinchurikis could sacrifice yourselves, allowing me to gain the power to defeat that guy..."
"Madara!"
Yamato gazed at the newcomer, a flicker of surprise flashing across his face!
"Madara!"
Uchiha Sasuke furrowed his brow and said coldly: "Wait... are you implying... wanting to seize the Nine-tails from within Naruto?"
