The so-called Three Great Sage Locations are not worlds that transcend the shinobi world; they exist within a corner of the shinobi world itself. It's just that ordinary people find it difficult to find their traces.
Each sage location has its unique ecological environment and creatures. Mount Myōboku has Toads, Shikkotsu Forest has Slugs, and Ryuchi Cave has Snakes. Among them, the Toads of Mount Myōboku are the most secretive. The other sage locations have been found by people to varying degrees, but only Mount Myōboku is almost impossible for anyone to find except those chosen by them.
And now, Naruto has vaguely sensed the location of Mount Myōboku. It's far away, but still within the transmission range of his Flying Thunder God Technique.
Naruto didn't choose to teleport directly to Mount Myōboku. There was still a mess to clean up at the scene.
He looked at Kakashi, who hadn't left in the distance.
Naruto's figure appeared in front of Kakashi and Ao, his eyes playful as he said, "One-Eyed Uncle, long time no see."
Kakashi's single eye turned into a dead fish eye: "It really has been a long time, Naruto."
Ao, who happened to be able to make a pair of normal eyes with Kakashi, also showed shock. He didn't expect that Kakashi was also an old acquaintance of the other party.
And that group of Uchiha, I am afraid they are all Konoha's traitors. I can only say that it is worthy of being Konoha, even the traitors are not comparable to the ninjas of other villages.
"You guys are quite self-aware."
Naruto's words carried a hint of teasing. Although even if the two chose to escape, it would only take him a little more effort, he was still very gratified by their sensible attitude.
After all, it's a Mangekyo Sharingan and a Byakugan that can be disassembled at will. Now that they've taken the initiative to come to his door, he certainly won't let them go so easily.
Kakashi couldn't help but roll his eyes: "What do you plan to do with me?"
Even in this situation, Kakashi was still very calm. For him, he had long put life and death out of his mind. Or rather, the ninja named Kakashi Hatake had already died a few years ago. What remained here was just a tool that only knew how to complete tasks.
What's more, even if he gave his life, he might not even be able to touch the other party's clothes. And, from now on, he probably won't be able to see the sequel to Make-Out Paradise anymore, and suddenly felt that the future was bleak.
Dying in a mission was the best ending for him.
Ao didn't even dare to breathe now. If Kakashi hadn't pulled him away when he was still in a daze, he would have been directly shocked to death by the aftermath of the battle.
Naruto just smiled and said, "Kakashi, your strength is not bad. Are you interested in being a Teacher in Wave Country?"
Naruto didn't want to kill Kakashi, because Kakashi and Jiraiya were completely different. He was muddleheaded, like a walking corpse. It would be good to give a person without faith a faith.
Kakashi fell silent, not answering the question. He was a Konoha ninja. He could accept his death calmly, but he wouldn't choose to betray just to live.
If he betrayed Konoha, wouldn't he also be betraying his Teacher, betraying Obito who once saved his life at the cost of his own life?
Naruto didn't try to persuade him any further. He just looked at Kakashi with a smile.
The next moment, with a "poof" sound, a cloud of white smoke suddenly rose, filling the area around Naruto. Immediately afterward, a figure appeared beside Naruto.
After seeing this figure, Kakashi suddenly widened his eyes, his expression frozen, as if he had seen a ghost. Well, that's not wrong, Minato Namikaze was now almost a ghost.
"T-Teacher Minato!"
Kakashi's voice trembled slightly, his eyes filled with disbelief. He never thought that he would see his Teacher, who had passed away for many years, again here.
A complex emotion rose in Kakashi's heart, including nostalgia and respect for his Teacher, as well as confusion and incomprehension about all of this.
"Long time no see, Kakashi."
Minato Namikaze also had a complex expression on his face. He didn't want to interfere in this matter, but Naruto suddenly brought him out.
The atmosphere suddenly became a little silent.
"Kakashi, this is just a wisp of Chakra I left behind before my death; my actual body is indeed dead."
In the end, Minato Namikaze explained with a smile.
Hearing this, Kakashi's eyes glazed over for a moment. He finally understood why Naruto had suddenly learned the Flying Thunder God Technique, because Minato Namikaze was inside Naruto's body.
If that's the case, then Minato Teacher must have seen Naruto's experiences in Konoha over the years. So, whether it was Naruto destroying Konoha or killing Jiraiya-sama, he didn't come out to stop it.
Even Minato Teacher is incredibly disappointed in the current village.
Kakashi also thought about his actions over the years, opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but didn't know where to start. After hesitating for a long time, Kakashi only managed to utter three simple words.
"I'm sorry."
Minato Namikaze's eyes also became somewhat dim. He knew what Kakashi was apologizing for, but he just smiled and shook his head, not saying anything. He wasn't qualified to forgive anything on Naruto's behalf, and besides, the current Naruto didn't seem to care much about the things of the past.
"Naruto-sama!"
At this moment, Uchiha Inaho and his group of five, along with Hyuga Natsu, walked over together, carrying Chojuro and Hiramekarei in their hands. Their eyes were filled with fervent admiration, and even Hyuga Natsu's eyes were full of respect, completely devoid of the resentment from being forced into this situation.
After truly witnessing the great power that Naruto displayed, everyone felt that even the legendary God of Shinobi World was probably no more than this. They had not seen the former God of Shinobi World, but they were fortunate enough to see the current Naruto.
Naruto also waved his hand at them, then came to Kakashi and Ao's side, restricting the Chakra within their bodies, preventing them from using Ninjutsu.
"Alright, leave the aftermath here to you guys for now."
"Once Izumi has dealt with Mei Terumi, you can all return together, just in case something unexpected happens."
"Understood!" Uchiha Inaho and his group of five, along with Hyuga Natsu and Minato Namikaze, nodded in agreement at the same time.
"Lastly, Kakashi, I hope you can lend me something." Naruto once again looked at Kakashi with a smile, who was being supported by Minato Namikaze to prevent him from falling into the water.
"What is it?" Kakashi looked at Naruto in confusion, wondering what he had on him that would attract the other party.
"Your eyes!"
Naruto swiftly removed the eye under Kakashi's forehead protector.
Then he grabbed it and instantly refined it.
On the distant sea surface, a Pitcher Plant slowly submerged into the sea after seeing this scene.
"Damn it!"
