Gyuki and Killer Bee also stopped at the same time, standing with their arms crossed.

Killer Bee, sitting on Gyuki’s nose bridge, was even more puzzled.

"Little Eight, Little Eight~ This guy can also seal both of us~ So strong, so strong~ Yo!"

Gyuki extended a claw and scratched his big head, saying in a simple voice.

"Well, given this situation, should we keep fighting?"

Killer Bee extended a fist and bumped it with Gyuki’s fist.

"That kid can’t fight anymore~ Looks like he’s going to run away~ I’m still the strongest Jinchuriki, yo ho~ yo ho~"

Killer Bee and Gyuki switched control of their bodies and simultaneously canceled the Tailed Beast Bomb.

The powerful aura of the Tailed Beast finally receded, and the people of Konoha all breathed a sigh of relief.

Naruto’s Tailed Beast transformation cloak had disappeared, and he fell from the sky, unconscious.

Jiraiya whistled, and Gamaken leaped forward sharply, catching the falling Naruto with its sturdy back.

Yamato stared, looking at the scorched ruins of Konoha before him, unsure of what had happened. He could only ask blankly.

"This... is this the trace left by Gyuki and the Nine-Tails after their fight?"

Jiraiya quickly interjected.

"Don’t blame the wrong person! Konoha is like this because of Pain..."

As he said this, Jiraiya remembered his two deceased students and fell silent.

Nagato and Yahiko, two gifted youths, one died in war, and the other committed suicide after starting a war.

Nagato’s heart was pierced by his friend’s death, and he vowed to make the whole world feel his pain. To achieve his goal, he could only start a war.

Even with the Rinnegan, Nagato did not see the true nature of war before his death. Instead, he placed all his hopes on Naruto.

However, Hatake Satoru understood this to some extent.

After all, knowing the outcome, he had long understood that Nagato was merely a tool being used.

Just then, Hatake Satoru sensed Killer Bee’s gaze from a distance.

Before Hatake Satoru could speak, Killer Bee had already started singing on his own.

"Yo! This brat~ actually has the Nine-Tails hidden inside~ One careless mistake and I’m dragged down with him~"

Hatake Satoru’s mouth twitched slightly.

"Brother, can you stop singing... Your rap is like a pale yellow long skirt and fluffy hair!"

Killer Bee, arrogant and proud, immediately retorted when he heard Hatake Satoru disrespecting his art.

"You little white-haired kid~ How dare you laugh at my Jinchuriki? Be careful, or I’ll smack you into the sky with two slaps! Yo yo!"

As the two bickered, Sakura ran over from a distance with a complex expression.

She had finally managed to mostly treat Hinata’s injuries before rushing over to check on Naruto.

Seeing the unconscious Naruto, Sakura felt even more lost.

This confusion led the young girl to overthink.

"Sasuke... where are you now?"

Then Sakura shook her head, wiped away her tears, and began to treat the heavily injured Naruto.

Meanwhile, Killer Bee and Hatake Satoru’s bickering was finally coming to an end.

Hatake Satoru hit the nail on the head, leaving Killer Bee speechless.

"You brute, you definitely ran out here without your brother’s permission, didn’t you? Believe me, the people he sent are already on their way to find you and take you back to Konoha!"

As soon as Killer Bee heard this, he felt Hatake Satoru was absolutely right. He crossed his arms, put on an arrogant and stern demeanor, and said in a hip-hop tone.

"You idiot, you think you can make me hide in Konoha?~ I can teach this kid~"

Hearing this, Hatake Satoru immediately showed a triumphant expression.

This was exactly what Hatake Satoru wanted.

Fortunately, the Nine-Tails’ rampage this time had a backup plan left by the Fourth Hokage. During the rampage, Vice Admiral Naruto’s Nine-Tails had been suppressed, preventing Konoha’s further destruction.

However, for Naruto to control the Nine-Tails’ power, he needed Killer Bee’s guidance to travel to the Land of Thunder.

But Hatake Satoru played hard to get with Killer Bee, waving his hand unhurriedly.

"Don’t rush! The people from the Land of Thunder will be here any minute!"

Killer Bee immediately settled down.

"Ahem! Brother Satoru! You promised me those song lyrics... you’ll still give them to me, right!"

Hatake Satoru burst into laughter.

"Of course! I never go back on my word!"

"But right now... let Naruto enjoy some long-awaited relaxation!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a shadow quickly approached from Hatake Satoru’s side.

"Brother! Are you okay!"

The person who arrived was Hatake Kakashi, who had just gone through a fierce battle and even sacrificed himself once.

Seeing the bloody gash on Hatake Kakashi’s forehead, Hatake Satoru let out a long sigh of relief.

"I put in a lot of effort, but I’m still pretty comfortable. You, Kakashi, on the other hand, look truly disheveled!"

Facing Hatake Satoru’s taunt, Kakashi could only adjust his mask and wipe away the blood left from the great battle. Yamato also relaxed his tense expression and looked at the recovered Naruto in bewilderment.

"We were just lucky... Naruto has truly endured much more hardship!"

Hatake Satoru looked at Sakura, who was treating Naruto, and couldn’t help but sigh.

"Alright! I’ll take this little guy back to Konoha first!"

Kakashi nodded.

Hatake Satoru leaped down and instantly appeared beside Sakura, patting her pink hair.

"You did a great job. Leave the rest to me!"

After saying that, Hatake Satoru gave a devastatingly charming smile.

Kakashi stepped forward, helped the exhausted Sakura up, and then coolly said to Hatake Satoru.

"Let’s go!"

With a whoosh, Kakashi and Sakura left the open space.

Hatake Satoru smiled behind them, waving politely.

"Be careful on your way!"

Then he pulled Naruto up and secured him tightly on his back.

Afterward, Hatake Satoru spoke, turning to Yamato.

"Naruto’s future path, he will have to walk it on his own eventually. Just like a seedling in the field, you can shield it from wind and rain, but it must ultimately grow strong on its own to become a mighty tree that shades the sky!"

Hearing this, Yamato finally understood Hatake Satoru’s intentions.

So he lowered his head without a word.

"It’s fine for me, but... Satoru, I feel so useless!"

Upon hearing this, Hatake Satoru adjusted his sunglasses and chuckled awkwardly.

"Haha! Yamato, how can you say you’re useless... You’re one of the top elites in our Anbu!"

Seeing that Yamato’s expression didn’t lighten up with his encouragement, Hatake Satoru thought for a moment and changed his approach.
