Naruto: Reincarnated as Sasuke Uchiha with Perfect Talents.

Looking at Deidara, who had nothing to say, and Sasori, who just silently observed him.

Sasuke turned around and watched as Kimimaro and the others headed in a different direction.

They had just stepped into the border of the Land of Lightning.

There was still a long way to go to reach the Hidden Cloud Village, yet Sasuke proposed splitting up at this moment.

This made Sasori feel that something wasn't quite right.

However, no matter how odd it seemed, Sasuke couldn't possibly be an enemy. After all, he had fought Konoha right in front of them and was nearly encircled by the Sand Village's ninja forces.

These were facts that couldn't be faked.

Sasuke was definitely not from one of the Five Great Shinobi Villages, but… there was no guarantee that he wouldn't do something surprising.

Thinking about this, Sasori felt he might be overthinking it.

Even if Sasuke caused chaos in the Hidden Cloud Village, it seemed irrelevant to him.

The one who should be troubled would be the Raikage of the Hidden Cloud or perhaps Pain.

It had little to do with him.

"Hey, senior, aren't you going to stop him? Just let him leave like that?"

Hearing this, Sasori was speechless.

"What? Do you have something in mind?"

"Didn't we agree to catch the Two-Tails together? How can we let Sasuke go just like that?"

"What else do you want to do?"

"Of course, we should bring him along to deal with the Two-Tails! Sasuke's Kekkei Genkai I've been dreaming of studying it!"

Deidara still hadn't forgotten the scene of being instantly defeated by Itachi's genjutsu.

He had even created tools to counter genjutsu, ensuring it wouldn't affect him again.

Now that Sasuke had left, Deidara was naturally very unwilling.

But Sasori just gave him a cold glance. "If you don't want him to leave, go call him yourself!"

Uh…

Deidara didn't dare. If Sasuke's strength was provoked even slightly, the consequences could be severe.

"Then forget it!"

This answer made Sasori's anger surge.

This guy kept calling him senior, acting as if he was very respectful, but in reality, he was a scoundrel.

He wanted to use him to achieve his own goals.

None of the members of Akatsuki were decent people.

Sasori looked at Deidara with disgust.

Meanwhile, Sasuke and Kimimaro, who had already left, were hurrying toward the Hidden Cloud Village.

Deidara and Sasori wouldn't take much longer to get there either.

After all, they could ride Deidara's large bird and fly directly to the Hidden Cloud Village.

Traveling through the air was much faster than on land.

However, if Sasuke and Kimimaro sped up a little, they could roughly ensure they'd reach the Hidden Cloud Village around the same time as Deidara and the others.

The reason for splitting up before reaching the village was to reduce unnecessary trouble.

If those two discovered that Sasuke's target was the Eight-Tails, it would be problematic.

"Lord Sasuke, are you really going to challenge the Fourth Raikage?"

Challenge the Fourth Raikage?

Sasuke smiled. "Of course not!"

Hearing this, Kimimaro showed an expression as if he had expected that answer. Although he couldn't tell if Sasuke was lying,

he instinctively felt that the Fourth Raikage was not Sasuke's target in the Hidden Cloud Village.

"Then, Lord Sasuke, our target is…"

"The Eight-Tails Jinchuriki, Killer B, the brother of the Fourth Raikage!"

Hearing Sasuke reveal their true target, Kimimaro wasn't too surprised.

He was just curious why Sasuke wanted to deal with the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki.

But such matters didn't require his questioning. For Kimimaro, whatever Sasuke did wasn't important.

He just needed to know the target.

Kimimaro didn't ask further.

Sasuke, however, chuckled. "I thought you'd keep asking me why we're going after the Eight-Tails!"

Kimimaro remained silent.

After a moment of silence, Sasuke continued, "Perhaps it's fate! Destiny has ordained that I must battle the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki, so I must go!"

It was such an absurd explanation, yet Kimimaro believed it without a doubt!

"Then, Lord Sasuke, what do you need me to do?"

Sasuke glanced at Kimimaro.

Speaking with great seriousness, he said, "There's only one thing you need to do: ensure no one interferes with me until I'm done dealing with the Eight-Tails!"

Hearing this, Kimimaro's blood boiled.

To face the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki, the commotion would undoubtedly be significant.

If discovered, countless powerful ninjas from the Hidden Cloud would surely converge on them.

At that point… stopping them would become his responsibility.

He might even encounter the Fourth Raikage…

In such a situation, how could Kimimaro not be excited?

"Lord Sasuke, please leave it to me!"

Saying this, Kimimaro showed a look of eager anticipation.

Even Sasuke was a little taken aback.

As expected of someone from the Kaguya clan their battle-loving nature was ingrained in their very bones.

"But before we start, we need to do one more thing!"

"What is it?"

Kimimaro asked.

Sasuke smiled.

"Of course, we need to divert the Hidden Cloud Village's attention!"

Divert?

Kimimaro seemed to understand what Sasuke intended, but this would likely… make things difficult for those two.

They might even get killed by the Hidden Cloud Village.

After all, the Hidden Cloud wasn't as weak as the Sand Village. The Hidden Cloud was arguably the strongest shinobi village in the world, aside from Konoha… No! At this point, it was likely the strongest.

Konoha's current situation was far worse than the Hidden Cloud's!

"Once inside the Hidden Cloud Village, spread the word that someone is targeting the Two-Tails Jinchuriki."

"Then we'll go after the Eight-Tails!"

Kimimaro nodded. "Understood!"

The two continued to hasten toward the Hidden Cloud Village.

Within a day, they reached the village.

Meanwhile, Deidara and Sasori also appeared on the other side of the village.

Their target was the Two-Tails. Before arriving, they had already obtained intelligence on the Two-Tails Jinchuriki's exact location.

Their plan was to lure the Two-Tails Jinchuriki out of the Hidden Cloud Village to make their move.

Otherwise, with Deidara's abilities and Sasori's puppets, any commotion would draw the entire Hidden Cloud Village's attention, which was not a good idea.

However, from the very start, the two encountered unexpected obstacles.

First, there were many ninjas around the Two-Tails Jinchuriki. After taking them down,

they found themselves surrounded. The Hidden Cloud ninjas' response time was far faster than they had anticipated.

Facing the Two-Tails Jinchuriki and at least a dozen elite Hidden Cloud jonin, this lineup was not easy to break through.

Sasori observed the enemies surrounding them.

His expression changed rapidly.

'What's going on…? Could that ominous feeling have been pointing to this moment?'
