Chapter 679 The plan cannot keep up with the changes

Seeing Kawaki somewhat collapsed, Sasuke frowned slightly.

He could naturally feel Kawaki's real emotional fluctuations at the moment. He was truly feeling self-blame and fear, not just a deliberate performance.

However, Sasuke would not hug Kawaki and comfort him as gently as Naruto did.

But he also has his own style and code of conduct.

"Naruto is not dead!"

"What? How did you know?"

Kawaki suddenly looked up and looked at Sasuke, with a glimmer of hope in his eyes.

"Naruto won't die that easily, and I have my own sources of information!"

To be honest, Sasuke couldn't confirm Naruto's condition right now.

But his intuition and years of trust made him believe that Naruto would not get into trouble easily.

Besides, the Yudao Sage just said that Naruto is fine for the time being, so he would not deceive himself about such important information.

So Sasuke would rather believe that Naruto was just sealed by the evil Jigen.

This severed the chakra connection, making Kawaki's prosthetic limb unable to sense Naruto's chakra.

"Really? Is the Seventh Hokage really still alive?"

Kawaki was overjoyed, jumped up, and quickly grabbed Sasuke, looking expectantly at him.

"If you want to save Naruto, cheer up and stop being so depressed!"

"I need your intelligence, and I need your strength."

"If you're willing to help, maybe we can rescue Naruto sooner!"

Sasuke shook off Kawaki's hand and scolded him sternly.

He despises people who shrink back when faced with difficulties the most. If it weren't for the fact that Naruto trusts Kawaki very much, and the wedge in Kawaki's body is also very important.

Sasuke didn't even bother to pay attention to the little brat.

"Okay! I promise you!"

"I am willing to cooperate. I can do anything as long as I can save the Seventh Hokage!"

Kawaki finally cheered up and a spark of hope ignited in his heart. He immediately made a firm and powerful promise.

He was not familiar with Sasuke, but he knew that he was the most trusted partner of his adoptive father Naruto.

And no matter what, the other party is a ninja who was able to escape from Jigen alive, so he must be powerful.

Then it may not be impossible to rescue Naruto!

See this.

Shikamaru was still a little worried: "Sasuke, this guy's identity and motives have not been confirmed yet, will it be possible? ..."

Sasuke has made up his mind: "I believe in Naruto, and naturally I believe in him. And now everything has to prioritize rescuing Naruto and protecting the village. We must use all available power!"

"If he really betrays Naruto in the future, I will be the first to put an end to him!"

Seeing how tough Sasuke was, Shikamaru could only agree.

Anyway, he has already believed in these two Konoha war gods many times, so it doesn't matter if he believes in them one more time.

...

then.

Kawaki told Sasuke all the information he knew about the Kara organization and Jigen.

Of course, Kawaki didn’t know much information. After all, he had always been trained by Jigen as a resurrection vessel. A chess piece and a container did not need to know too much of the truth.

But Sasuke has fought against Otsutsuki Momoshiki and others after all.

It is already known that the fundamental goal of the Otsutsuki clan is to plant the sacred tree and steal the chakra fruit.

Thinking of the same wedge mark that Otsutsuki Momoshiki carved on Boruto, I can roughly guess the meaning of the word "container".

"In other words, Kawaki is very likely the guy Jigen, or the tool used by the Otsutsuki behind him to resurrect! Just like what Otsutsuki Momoshiki did to Boruto." Sasuke analyzed.

Shikamaru suddenly realized and immediately had a plan:

"I see, that makes sense. No wonder Boruto and he can both open that strange space portal."

"So, the resurrection container of Jigen and the young Ten-Tails that will achieve the goal are now in our hands."

"Then we may not have no chance to counterattack the opponent!"

Sasuke was not optimistic: "Theoretically, yes, but that guy is extremely cruel and may not be threatened by us."

"That's not necessarily the case!"

“The secret of negotiation lies in who can least bear the cost of losing.”

"Whether it's Kawaki or the Ten-Tails, they may be more important to him than we thought!"

Sasuke frowned: "You want to exchange Kawaki for Naruto?"

Shikamaru shook his head: "I originally thought about it, but I know you and Naruto will definitely not agree. And if Kawaki is really the enemy's resurrection container, then sending him back is equivalent to helping the enemy have an extra life in disguise. I am not stupid enough to help the enemy..."

Shikamaru just doesn't trust Kawaki, he's not stupid.

Of course he knew how terrifying it would be to give the enemy an extra life; if Six Paths Madara or Kaguya Ōtsutsuki also had an extra life.

By now the entire ninja world would have probably turned into White Zetsu's amusement park, and Konoha would not have existed until today.

"So you mean the Ten-Tails?"

"Yes! This young Ten-Tails should be a good bargaining chip. If it really doesn't work, maybe we can use it to exchange with the other party. At least there is a chance to get Naruto back!"

Sasuke shook his head, "It's still not safe."

"Without sufficient strength, it is difficult to reach an exchange agreement with the other party."

"Even if they agree to exchange Naruto for the Ten-Tails, they can turn hostile and kill us all the moment we hand over the Ten-Tails..."

No one knows Jigen's terrifying power better than Sasuke.

If you don't have a force that can match theirs, let alone negotiation and exchange, you will just be swallowed up by the other side!

Just like only people can negotiate on an equal footing.

Between humans and dogs, no matter what good things a dog holds in its mouth, as long as it lets go, it will soon become a delicious meal of dog meat.

In the eyes of the Otsutsuki, these native ninjas of the ninja world are probably worse than dogs...

"Are you strong enough to fight against it? This is not going to be easy! Even you and Naruto can't beat it together. How can you possibly gain strength to match it in such a short time?"

Shikamaru sighed helplessly, Naruto and Sasuke are already the ceiling of the ninja world, how can they be easily improved?

"Wait... can this Ten-Tails be sealed?"

"it should be OK."

"Sasuke, then you..."

Sasuke understood the hidden meaning of Shikamaru's words.

Perhaps they wanted him to seal the Ten-Tails and become its Jinchūriki, so that he could gain power to rival Jigen.

By then, there would be no need to consider any negotiations or exchanges...

"Unfortunately, although this young Ten-Tails can be sealed, it doesn't mean much."

Sasuke glanced at the Ten-Tails cub within the barrier and weighed the matter in silence.

The chakra of this young Ten-Tails is barely comparable to that of the Nine-Tails, or even slightly worse. It cannot be compared with the full Ten-Tails at all.

It can't even compare to the half-complete Ten-Tails that Obito sealed during the Fourth World War.

Even if such a young Ten-Tails was sealed into his body, allowing him to become the Ten-Tails Jinchūriki, it would probably not improve his power much.

It is impossible to advance from the quasi-six paths level to the true six paths level.

Without the true Six Paths-level power, Sasuke would still be defeated if he fought against Jigen. Sasuke knew this very well.

"That's going to be difficult!"

"Anyway, let's move this young Ten-Tails and hide it."

"As long as the other party can't find the Ten-Tails, we can at least have one more bargaining chip..."

Sasuke nodded, approving the proposal:

"it is good!"

"Once I have recovered a little more chakra, I will send the young Ten-Tails to the base at the mountain cemetery."

"There are barriers and facilities left by Madara, which are enough to isolate and seal the Ten-Tails!"

Shikamaru agreed that it would be safer to move the Ten-Tails out rather than leaving it in the village.

"One more thing, I think since Jigen's target is Kawaki and the Ten-Tails."

"In order to prevent Jigen from invading the village again, why don't we move him outside of Konoha as well?"

Shikamaru pointed at Kawaki and suggested again.

"No! He must stay by my side. Without me, as long as Cixian finds him, he will be captured in an instant..."

Sasuke is well aware of how terrifying Jigen is, and the only way Kawaki can have a chance of survival is if he stays by his side.

"Then place him underground in the village first?"

"Under the village, there is a secret Root barrier left by Danzo. It can prevent the Byakugan from spying. Why not move it inside?"

"This way, Jixian's Byakugan won't be able to see through and find him."

Sasuke shook his head: "I don't think this will work."

"Naruto said before that the wedge will connect Kawaki and Jigen, no matter where Kawaki is hiding, even in some different space."

"As long as Wedge is still there, he can sense and find Kawaki's location..."

“Hiss… can he locate me no matter where I am? He actually has such a tricky ability. This guy can’t escape from Jixian’s grasp at all!”

Shikamaru sighed helplessly.

Put yourself in their shoes and imagine if you were marked and located like this, and the enemy was incredibly strong.

That is really despairing!

now.

If you can't beat Jigen, you have to find a way to protect the Ten-Tails and Kawaki, save Naruto, and defeat Jigen...

Triple Hell difficulty stacks.

Even the resourceful Shikamaru felt that it was as difficult as ascending to heaven, and there was no good solution at all...

"Let's take action first."

"We don't know how long it will take for the enemy to attack again, so it's always a good idea to prepare early."

Shikamaru nodded and took action immediately: "Okay! I will start organizing the villagers to evacuate. I'll trouble you to arrange for the Ten-Tails and Kawaki to be relocated."

"Ah."

Sasuke did not hesitate and immediately led Kawaki to the Ten-Tails.

Prepare to transfer the Ten-Tails first, and then consider how to deal with Jigen.

Kawaki followed Sasuke with a gloomy look on his face.

He had just listened to the entire discussion between Sasuke and Shikamaru and basically understood the general idea.

But the more he understood, the more he realized how difficult his current situation was; facing the terrifying Cixian, it seemed that all he had left was despair...

It might even affect the entire Konoha Village and Boruto and the others...

“Maybe my existence is a mistake!”

"If I die, will Jigen's purpose of resurrection fail? In this way, can the Seventh Hokage and the entire Konoha Village be saved?"

Under the dual control of fear and despair, Kawaki also gave up on himself and couldn't help but ask Sasuke.

Sasuke frowned, feeling that he had no time to comfort this brat, but for Naruto's sake, he still said something encouraging:

"That guy Cixian is not a good person."

"You're going to die. There's no way he'll let Naruto go just to vent his anger!"

"If you still have the energy to think about random things, why not think about whether Cixian has any weaknesses?"

"Naruto recognized you, not to make you a coward!"

Sasuke's words were very rude and harsh, but they also slightly aroused Kawaki's confidence.

Yes!

For Naruto's sake, he couldn't just give up like that.

A bastard like Jigen will definitely not let the Seventh Hokage go if he fails to achieve his wish.

"I understand. I'll do my best!"

Kawaki clenched his fists and strengthened his conviction.

On Sasuke's side, he also had the barrier class break the barrier and come into contact with the Ten-Tails.

can.

At this moment, a dark red space portal suddenly opened above Konoha.

The furious Ci Xian flew out quickly.

Invade Konoha again with a sudden attack speed that no one expected!
