Su Mu was not a saint.
If he were to intervene, he would need to see some tangible benefits.
However, he had no interest in managing these trivial matters below at the moment.
Both Uzumaki Kushina and Chang'e had appeared simultaneously.
He needed to seize the time to bring them both back. This Eight Treasures Glazed Pavilion truly needed a few proprietresses to maintain it.
Tsunade watched Su Mu's departing back with a sense of loss.
Jiraiya patted her shoulder and said faintly, "Perhaps he and we were never meant to be in the same world."
"Regarding the Leaf Village, do you truly have no intention of returning to explain things?"
Tsunade sighed helplessly, "I never wanted to be Hokage, and I have no intention of sacrificing my life for those people in the village."
"You seem quite suitable for it; why not let you have it?"
Outside the pavilion.
Chiyo was being held back by Sasori and Deidara.
Maki's escape route was blocked by Konan.
Gaara, without any hesitation, scooped up sand with his hands and launched an attack at Konan.
"The situation in Sand Village is dire, Gaara is being targeted," Jiraiya said with a hint of bitterness.
Suddenly, Naruto inside the building pushed open the door and rushed out with reckless abandon.
"Wait, Naruto! What are you doing!"
Jiraiya and Tsunade hurried after him.
Kakashi and Might Guy followed closely behind.
"Gaara! Hold on!"
With Naruto's appearance, Pain's gaze shifted. "The Nine-Tails Jinchuriki..."
"How interesting..."
"If you had remained in the restaurant, perhaps you could have escaped today."
Kakashi and Might Guy leaped forward, positioning themselves in front of Naruto.
"Get Naruto back to the restaurant!"
The combined assault of Kakuzu and Konan shattered Gaara's absolute defense.
As the explosive tags detonated, the sand on Gaara's face slowly drifted away in the wind.
Naruto's eyes turned crimson, and a red chakra cloak appeared around his body.
"It's the Nine-Tails' chakra..."
"Do you feel the pain in your heart?"
Pain kicked Killer Bee and Yugito Nii aside and then quickly moved towards Naruto.
"Watch out! He's coming this way!" Kakashi shouted urgently!
Tsunade removed her coat, raised her right fist, and slammed it forcefully onto the ground.
Instantly, the road ahead collapsed.
Seeing this, Pain leaped away, dodging the powerful blow.
"Almighty Push!"
In mid-air, Pain's movements suddenly stopped as he unleashed a powerful gravitational pull from his hand.
The target was the rapidly berserking Naruto.
Because Almighty Push was an area-of-effect attack.
Everyone in the locked direction would be affected by the gravitational force.
For a moment, Kakashi and the others lost control of their bodies.
Jiraiya, without hesitation, bit his finger and slapped it onto the ground.
"Summoning Jutsu!"
*Poof!*
A massive cloud of white smoke slowly rose around them.
The appearance of Gamabunta directly blocked Pain's gravitational pull.
"Wind Style: Great Breakthrough!"
"Paper Ninjutsu: Dance of the Shikigami!"
From the eaves of the building behind them, Kakuzu and Konan in mid-air simultaneously unleashed their attack ninjutsu.
Seeing this, Neji quickly leaped in front of them. "Eight Trigrams! Rotation!"
A blue barrier rapidly spun, deflecting the attacks.
But the moment Neji stopped, over a dozen explosive tags suddenly appeared before them.
*Boom!*
A massive explosion kicked up thick smoke.
Might Guy paused slightly, seeing a sand wall defense appear before them.
Gaara knelt on the ground with a thud, gasping for air.
It was clear that he had reached his limit.
It was precisely because of Gaara's timely assistance that Tsunade and Jiraiya changed their previous decisions.
"Deidara, Gaara is yours."
"Understood!"
Deidara piloted his giant bird, rapidly closing in on Gaara.
Jiraiya faced Gaara, rapidly performing hand seals. His white hair swiftly wrapped around Gaara's body, pulling him closer.
Observing the situation, Konan spoke to Pain, "Should we deploy the other five Pains?"
Pain slowly shook his head. "They are not yet qualified..."
Naruto had now entered the Two-Tails state.
The situation was gradually spiraling out of control.
Might Guy slowly walked to the front of the group, his eyes filled with unprecedented confidence.
"I'll hold them off, you guys first find a way to suppress the Tailed Beast's power within Naruto."
Kakashi was taken aback. "There are three enemies opposing us now, you can't handle this, Guy!"
"Kakashi!"
Suddenly, Guy extended his right thumb.
"Trust me."
The moment Might Guy turned his head, his teeth flashed brilliantly.
Kakashi, with a helpless sigh, rubbed his forehead. "Naruto will be left to Lady Tsunade and Lord Jiraiya, I will assist you in the attack."
Might Guy said no more, his fists clenched slightly, and a powerful aura instantly erupted from his body.
"Opening the First Gate: Gate of Opening!"
A fierce whirlwind suddenly swept through the area.
Kakashi stared at Might Guy in shock. "This is the Eight Inner Gates technique, Guy!"
"Ah! Kakashi!"
The moment Might Guy took a step, he instantly vanished from his original spot.
Konan, standing next to Pain, was a beat too slow to react.
Might Guy appeared behind the two, his right fist channeling all his power as he ferociously smashed downwards.
"Shinra Tensei!"
Pain reacted extremely quickly, instantly forming a repulsive barrier around himself.
However, he was shocked to find that Might Guy's body was forcefully withstanding the power of Almighty Push.
Might Guy's reddened face involuntarily curved into a smile. "Morning Peacock!"
Pain used the repulsive force to push Konan directly away.
Then, Might Guy, like a beast, unleashed a barrage of flames in the air.
Nagato suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood, a trace of shock evident in his eyes. "I didn't expect someone could cultivate their taijutsu to this extent..."
"I underestimated you..."
"However, you must have a limit, right..."
Might Guy delivered his final blow, heavily slamming Pain into the ground.
*Boom!*
The ground instantly shook with immense tremors.
Thick smoke billowed upwards. At this moment, everyone stared in astonishment at Might Guy in mid-air.
"So... strong..."
Might Guy gasped for breath, then deactivated the Eight Inner Gates and landed on the ground.
Seeing Pain slammed into the ground, Konan, enraged, launched a surprise attack on Might Guy.
"Paper Shuriken!"
"Guy!"
Kakashi rapidly closed the distance between them, simultaneously revealing his Mangekyo Sharingan.
"Kamui!"
He diverted Konan's attack, then arrived beside Might Guy, helping him up.
"Ahhh!!!!"
At the same moment, Naruto's berserk state accelerated. He had now grown four tails and his appearance had drastically changed.
The Raikage of the Cloud Village arrived with reinforcements.
Including the Third Tsuchikage, Onoki, of the Stone Village.
However, their purpose for coming here was solely to ensure the safe departure of their respective Jinchuriki.
As for the events unfolding in the Leaf and Sand Villages, the Raikage chose to ignore them.
Onoki, on the other hand, was here for Deidara.
Meanwhile, Su Mu had arrived at a village near the Ancient City of Loulan.
The Ancient City of Loulan had now become ruins.
And many residents would still venture inside to pan for gold.
The system informed Su Mu that Uzumaki Kushina was in the Ancient City of Loulan.
However, it did not specify her exact location, which caused Su Mu some frustration.
Therefore, Su Mu decided to actively inquire with the nearby villagers to see if he could find any clues.
