All the ninjas present frantically retreated at once!
The confrontation about to unfold between the two hundred-meter-tall Complete Forms of Susanoo was definitely not something these regular ninjas could approach!
Even being slightly touched by the aftershocks could lead to severe injury or even death. Based on the slash from Uchiha Madara's Susanoo, the power inadvertently leaked by these two Susanoo was enough to annihilate all of them!
"Go report the situation here to Lady Tsunade."
Kakashi Hatake glanced at the group of Anbu ninjas and spoke in a deep voice: "Guy and I will monitor their fight here..."
"Alright."
A few Anbu ninjas quickly nodded.
"We'll stay as well..."
Sarutobi Asuma and Yamato wanted to stay.
"Kakashi-senpai, let me stay too."
Hyuga Neji made his request, speaking seriously: "At the very least, my Byakugan can help you and Guy-sensei see the battlefield..."
"I can help too!"
Hyuga Hinata quickly expressed her stance!
"Let me stay..."
Uchiha Sasuke had no intention of leaving. He wanted to talk to Akihara Kagura again after the battle was over.
"Stop!"
Kakashi Hatake saw the enthusiastic young ninjas. After thinking for a moment, he solemnly ordered: "Neji, Sasuke, Guy, stay with me, the others return to Konoha immediately, Asuma, Yamato, take these kids back!"
The personnel Kakashi Hatake selected included Hyuga Neji for reconnaissance. Might Guy and Uchiha Sasuke could quickly run to escape, ensuring he and Sasuke could escape with Might Guy and Hyuga Neji.
Of course.
Besides them.
There's also Uchiha Obito.
The fight between Uchiha Madara and Akihara Kagura left no time to worry about Uchiha Obito. Uchiha Obito finally got a breather, his injuries had already healed.
This guy...
Still wanted to find a chance to kill Uchiha Madara!
Kakashi Hatake couldn't bring this former friend back to Konoha, nor could Konoha ninjas capture Uchiha Obito who possessed the Kamui Mangekyo Sharingan.
Naruto Uzumaki's identity was of utmost importance.
This group of Anbu came here to take back Naruto Uzumaki.
A group of Konoha ninjas left, leaving Kakashi Hatake and few others to observe the impending battle between the two Susanoo.
Besides these people...
The group of Root Ninjas also quickly retreated.
Because Karin had been secretly observing the battle from a distance, protected by Senju Tobirama and Senju Hashirama, she noticed the impending battle between Uchiha Madara and Akihara Kagura and quickly went to take away the oblivious Root ninjas.
"That's... Karin!"
The young ninjas in retreat all saw their former classmate.
The Root ninjas saw Karin, but there was no conflict, seemingly still a family, or many of them grew up together.
"Karin must have defected with Akihara Kagura..."
Nara Shikamaru clearly understood Karin's choice and said in a low voice: "Akihara Kagura brought her to Konoha, gave her life, a new life, and always kept her by his side. She would never betray Akihara Kagura..."
In this world, anyone could betray Akihara Kagura, except Karin. No one was even surprised by Karin's defection with Akihara Kagura.
"..."
Naruto Uzumaki had complex feelings.
In fact, his life...
Also changed because of Akihara Kagura!
The current Naruto Uzumaki knew of the darkness within Konoha. He never thought of defecting from Konoha, and he hadn't forgotten his dream to become Hokage...
"I will bring Kagura back."
Naruto Uzumaki bit his teeth, looking at the distant tall white Susanoo, and declared: "I will go bring Kagura back to the village!"
"Let's go back and get more information first!"
Nara Shikamaru shook his head, sighed, and said: "You have to understand one thing, Akihara Kagura and his ancestors have always strived for their goals. It's not something your words can change..."
"Moreover…"
"He wasn't originally a Konoha ninja."
Nara Shikamaru hoped his good friend would see reality and not have some inexplicable fantasy: "Joining Konoha was just a step in his plan to achieve his goal..."
"Even so, I will bring him back!"
Naruto Uzumaki's expression remained resolute.
After he finished speaking.
Naruto Uzumaki thought of someone else, and whispered: "Sister Anko must be very upset knowing Karin and Kagura defected, right?"
"Let's go now."
An Anbu ninja quickly wanted to take them away.
Actually, this Anbu ninja also knew some stories about Special Jonin Mitarashi Anko. Mitarashi Anko's teacher, Orochimaru, had also defected...
However...
Fate was a bit different.
When Orochimaru defected, he didn't take Mitarashi Anko, and Anko didn't defect. But when Akihara Kagura defected, he chose to take Karin with him, or rather, Karin followed him in defection...
Elsewhere.
A group of Root Ninjas followed behind Karin.
Karin also learned some good news from the Root Ninjas, such as Uchiha Sasuke being expelled by Akihara Kagura, as well as Uchiha Sasuke being expelled by Akihara Kagura.
