At this moment, under the influence of the forbidden technique, even though her body was already overwhelmed, Hotaru forced herself to turn her head and look at Gensou behind her, to make sure she hadn't misheard.

"Milord, can... can I really?"

"Yes, release Anger of the Heavens," Gensou nodded again.

Although the longer the Anger of the Heavens technique accumulates, the more powerful it becomes, Gensou wasn't using it to destroy anything.

In comparison to the release of Anger of the Heavens, the process of gathering chakra and natural energy was what intrigued him more.

Even if Hotaru hadn't mentioned it, Gensou would have had her release Anger of the Heavens soon. Starting over once, twice, three times... this could greatly accelerate his research.

Relieved by the confirmation, Hotaru kindly reminded him, "Milord, please step back; the power of Anger of the Heavens is very strong."

"You have a kind heart," Gensou remarked, glancing at her. He didn't refuse her suggestion and flashed back a hundred meters.

Seeing this, Hotaru didn't hesitate and decisively released Anger of the Heavens.

In an instant, a blinding white light pierced the sky.

Centered on Hotaru, a violent surge of energy composed of chakra and natural energy erupted from the black orb, sweeping out in all directions.

BOOM!!!

A deafening explosion roared.

Within a fifty-meter radius, everything material was instantly reduced to nothing.

"In such a short time, it can create this level of destruction. A forbidden technique that once destroyed a town indeed lives up to its name," Gensou commented calmly from outside the explosion's range, observing everything.

"However, the energy released isn't exactly senjutsu chakra as I imagined. The chakra and natural energy within the orb merely coexist, without merging proportionately. The release process seems more like a deliberate collision between chakra and natural energy, resulting in greater destructive power."

"Even so, understanding how chakra and natural energy can peacefully coexist without harming the user is a significant discovery."

The challenge of senjutsu lies in the proportional merging of natural energy with the body's chakra.

Originally, the entire process, from absorbing natural energy to merging it with chakra, could not be paused.

However, through the Anger of the Heavens forbidden technique and the black orb, Gensou saw an opportunity for chakra and natural energy to coexist peacefully, even if only for a brief moment.

This realization sparked his interest.

As the blinding light faded, Hotaru, exhausted, was standing in the newly formed massive crater, hands on her knees, panting heavily.

Gensou approached her, took out a secret medicine, and handed it to her. "Take this; it will relieve your fatigue and increase your chakra reserves."

Fully aware of the value of the secret medicine, Hotaru quickly shook her head in refusal.

She wasn't worried about being poisoned; after all, if Gensou had wanted to harm her, he would have done so long ago. It was just her nature to be cautious.

However, Gensou insisted, and eventually, she took the medicine.

As expected, Hotaru soon felt her fatigue fading away, and her chakra reserves noticeably increased.

Overjoyed, Hotaru was about to express her gratitude to Gensou, who was so different from the bad people she had encountered before and even gave her a sense of reassurance.

But just then, Gensou spoke up, "Now that your body has recovered, let's continue releasing Anger of the Heavens."

Hotaru's smile instantly froze.

"...Huh?"

In that moment, she realized she had greatly misunderstood Gensou.

The commotion caused by Anger of the Heavens was not small.

Approaching Katsuragi Mountain, Kakashi's team looked up and noticed the white beam of light rising into the sky in the distance.

"It seems the battle at Katsuragi Mountain isn't over yet," Kakashi breathed a slight sigh of relief. Fortunately, as they tracked Sasuke and his companion, they found that their path coincided perfectly with the direction of Katsuragi Mountain.

This meant that Sasuke and his companion were indeed the ones who attacked the Tsuchigumo Clan, and they wouldn't need to split up.

Kakashi's team quickened their pace.

Soon, they emerged from the forest and arrived at the outskirts of Katsuragi Mountain.

"Be careful, there are many traps here," Hinata, using her Byakugan, warned as all the traps became visible to her.

Following Hinata and Neji's lead, the group advanced rapidly without injury, closing in on Katsuragi Mountain.

"They've arrived?"

On the mountain, Sasuke noticed the familiar faces below and his expression shifted slightly. He then glanced back at the ongoing release of Anger of the Heavens.

With his right hand on the hilt of his sword, Sasuke turned back to face Kakashi's group and said coldly, "No one is allowed to take another step."

Kakashi's group swiftly scaled Katsuragi Mountain.

As they reached the summit and were about to rush towards the source of the Anger of the Heavens, a dozen shuriken clashed in mid-air, ricocheting off each other at sharp angles, forcing them to stop.

"This throwing style..." Kakashi, who had already lifted his forehead protector to reveal his Sharingan, narrowed his eyes, drew a kunai, and deftly deflected the incoming shuriken.

He then looked up towards a nearby residence.

On the roof, dressed in Uchiha's blue kimono, stood Sasuke, who hadn't been seen for a long time. With his hand on his hip and his three-tomoe Sharingan activated, he coldly looked down at them.

"We meet again, Sasuke," Kakashi said with a sigh.

It was a pity Naruto and Sakura weren't here.

Otherwise, this moment would have been filled with echoes of the name "Sasuke" across all of Katsuragi Mountain.

Sasuke glanced at Kakashi, his expression unchanged, and briefly stated his stance, "Leave."

At these words, Kiba smirked knowingly, "That guy, Sasuke, is still as annoying as ever."

Although he didn't share the deep bond of the former Team 7, Kiba had once hoped to catch up with Sasuke and have a proper reunion. But seeing him still acting all cool, unchanged from before, left Kiba disappointed.

"Even so, we're all comrades at the end of the day, and we still need to bring Sasuke back!" Lee said, thrusting his thumb up with a bright smile, full of determination. "Right, Neji?"

Last time, despite facing many hardships, they failed to bring Sasuke back.

This time, they had a new chance, and Lee was determined to seize it.

Neji, who had also been part of the previous mission to retrieve Sasuke, silently nodded.

He didn't have a deep connection with Sasuke, but since he had accepted the mission, he would do his best to complete it.

Not just for himself, but for Hinata as well.

Neji glanced at Hinata.

At this moment, while looking at Sasuke, Hinata's thoughts were focused on Naruto's relentless pursuit of Sasuke and his unwavering determination. Her expression became resolute.

For Naruto, she was determined to bring Sasuke back!

So...

"Sasuke, come back to the village with us. If not, I'll have to break your arms and legs and drag you back," Kakashi said, tightening his grip on his kunai, his tone flat as he delivered his final ultimatum.

To be precise, at this moment, Konoha had not officially labeled Sasuke as a rogue ninja, unlike how they typically dealt with defectors.

The influence of Naruto and others was minimal in this; it was more a matter of political considerations.

As the last surviving member of the Uchiha Clan in Konoha, Sasuke's identity was too unique.

Even though the outside world mocked Konoha for one of its founders, the last of the Uchiha, defecting, the fact remained that as long as Konoha hadn't officially declared it, there was still room for negotiation and explanation.

Sasuke wouldn't be officially branded a rogue ninja until after Danzo came to power.

For now, Sasuke hadn't been defined as a rogue ninja.

This meant that if Kakashi and the others brought him back to the village, with Tsunade as Hokage and Danzo out of the picture, there was a good chance he could return to his former status.

However, Sasuke, the person at the center of all this, didn't appreciate it.

"Boring," he replied indifferently.

Return to Konoha?

What was there worth returning to? Could it make him stronger, give him the power to defeat Itachi? He had tried before.

But even Kakashi, who taught him ninjutsu, was powerless against Itachi. What was the point of training under him?

Besides Kakashi, who else in Konoha could teach him? As for emotions, bonds...

Yes, Naruto held an important place in his heart.

But he wasn't living for Naruto.

Moreover, he had found new bonds now.

Zanki, Izumi —the blood relatives he had discovered.

And the Hagoromo Clan, who treated him well, unlike the villagers of Konoha who had always looked down on the Uchiha.

In the village of Locks, he had felt warmth he hadn't experienced in a long time. With Gensou, he could continue to grow stronger without worrying about plots or dangers.

So why should he go back to Konoha?

Just because he was once a part of it? Just because of something called the Will of Fire?

As he looked at Kakashi and the others, who seemed to think they were doing what was best for him, a sneer curled on Sasuke's lips.

They all thought he was arrogant.

Little did they know, they were the truly arrogant ones.

"It seems we can't reach an understanding," Kakashi sighed.

"Then... we'll fight!"

Whoosh! Whoosh! The sharp sound of something cutting through the air filled the scene.

With no Naruto present to use his Talk no Jutsu, the group didn't waste any more time with words and moved directly into battle.

"Fire Style: Great Fireball Jutsu!"

Sasuke immediately gathered chakra in his throat and expelled flames.

In an instant, a massive fireball, four or five meters tall, surged toward the Konoha team.

Kakashi's group quickly dispersed, avoiding the incoming fireball.

Sasuke wasn't surprised when the fireball missed its targets.

After all, neither he nor many other Uchiha had ever killed anyone with the Great Fireball Jutsu.

The reason they favored this fire technique wasn't just because it was low-cost and high-impact but also because it could scatter enemy formations and disrupt the rhythm of battle.

Just as now, knowing Kakashi and the others would charge in from the sides of the fireball, Sasuke was already throwing a barrage of shuriken to preemptively block their paths.

Clang, clang, clang! The sound of metal clashing echoed again.

Faced with the tricky and nearly unstoppable Uchiha throwing techniques, the Konoha team was forced to halt and defend.

Unexpectedly, TenTen, who had been mostly quiet and low-profile, effortlessly dodged the shuriken and, with a flick of her wrists, unfurled two scrolls. A multitude of ninja tools shot out like a dragon, sweeping toward Sasuke.

Sasuke, slightly surprised, dodged the barrage and was about to draw his sword when his Sharingan suddenly spun faster.

He saw a green blur charging at him with incredible speed.

"Leaf Strong Whirlwind!" Amid a thunderous sonic boom, a powerful spinning kick came at him with astonishing force.

"So fast!"

Even though his Sharingan could see it, Sasuke's body struggled to keep up in such a short time, and he could only raise his left arm to block.

Boom! The impact sent waves of air rolling out as Sasuke's feet dragged long marks across the ground, forcing him to retreat rapidly.

"Now's our chance!"

Kiba's eyes lit up as he and Akamaru, who had transformed, used the Fang Over Fang technique, turning into two rapidly spinning whirlwinds that charged straight at Sasuke.

As Sasuke continued to retreat, lightning flickered in his hand.

Swish, swish! In a flash, lightning coursed through the whirlwinds, striking Kiba and Akamaru.

Feeling their bodies go numb, Kiba and Akamaru couldn't maintain the technique and collapsed to the ground with a thud.

"Is the gap really this wide?" Kiba, whose secret technique had been easily broken, looked up at Sasuke in frustration.

But Sasuke didn't even glance at him.

Just as Sasuke regained his footing, he noticed Neji and Hinata, dressed in white, activating their Byakugan and approaching him with rhythmic strikes.

"Eight Trigrams Sixty-Four Palms!"

Sasuke's Sharingan spun rapidly.

Sharingan versus Byakugan!

With Byakugan's 360-degree field of view, Neji and Hinata didn't have to worry about making eye contact with the Sharingan like other ninjas.

With both sides possessing exceptional insight, the ensuing taijutsu battle was intense.

In just a few seconds, Neji, Hinata's Gentle Fist, and Sasuke's Uchiha-style taijutsu clashed numerous times. They exchanged blows at angles and speeds that were almost impossible for an ordinary person to perceive or follow, making it difficult for outsiders to intervene.

However, "outsiders" didn't include Guy.

Another enthusiastic cry of youthful spirit echoed across the battlefield.

Having just fended off Neji and Hinata's attacks, Sasuke wisely chose not to engage further and retreated under Guy's pressure, dodging Neji and Hinata's strikes.

What Sasuke didn't expect was that Kakashi, who had been out of sight, suddenly appeared behind him, one hand grabbing his neck tightly while the other held a kunai to his temple.

"It's over, Sasuke," Kakashi calmly announced.

"Is it?"

Sasuke's eyes narrowed.

Chidori Nagashi! In an instant, lightning surged from Sasuke's body, enveloping him entirely.

Caught in the initial wave, Kakashi frowned but didn't have time to react as his body crumbled into dirt and collapsed.

"An Earth Clone. As expected of you, Kakashi," Sasuke noted, unimpressed.

Having spent time together, Sasuke wasn't surprised by Kakashi's penchant for using clones in battle.

Pressing his hand to the ground, Sasuke sent a wave of lightning that spread out in front of him, forcing the approaching Konoha ninjas to retreat.

As Sasuke glanced around at them, he had already formed a clear judgment of their strength.

"It's still not enough..."

Knowing that all he could do was stall for time, Sasuke reached behind him and, with a metallic "clang," drew his long blade.

"No matter what, I must accomplish what Lord Gensou entrusted to me."

Sasuke's Sharingan spun again as he prepared to go on the offensive and take control of the battle.

But suddenly, a hand rested on his shoulder.

"You've done well."

As the words fell, Sasuke's tense body relaxed.

Gensou had arrived.
