Chapter 782

"Lin Cheng, stay safe. We'll wait for you at the arena."

Naruto simply kept his girl's form, didn't use the Transformation Technique, and planned to return to Konoha this way.

Walking beside Kakashi, she took a few steps, then turned back and waved at Lin Cheng and the others.

"Let's go. They'll arrive soon—just don't know who'll be first. If it's you, you'd better give it your all!"

Lin Cheng's shadow clone reached out, grabbed Naruto's hand, and pulled him along to follow the person ahead. This affair will grow huge; for now, no one knows how far it will go.

What they must do now is delay the match timing.

"Let's go too. First, find Elder Danzo and have a good chat—he's already gone to find the other party."

Lin Cheng glanced at Sasuke, wrapped his arm around him, and in the next instant rushed toward the Root base area of Konoha.

Today has many tasks; the first is to eliminate Danzo.

As for Uchiha Obito, he is still just a shadow clone—the real body left long ago, entering through Tobi's Kamui space to find Uchiha Itachi, who had never separated from him.

"Aaaah!"

Tobi was lying on the hillside watching the sunrise when his Kamui activated automatically, spitting out a living person—he instantly leapt up and dashed aside. His terrified expression made adult Lin Cheng laugh.

"Tobi, it's been so long. You see me and immediately run away? That's hurtful—I brought you something delicious."

Adult Lin Cheng shook the box of pastries in his hand; instantly, it was snatched away. Beside him, two hands clutched the snacks, emitting strange laughter.

"You didn't come just to deliver snacks to this guy, did you?"

Uchiha Itachi expressed disgust at Tobi's twisted appearance, turned his head to stare at Lin Cheng, refusing to look over there again.

"I'll trade you a box of pastries for a trip with me. Tobi should be willing to swap, right?"

Lin Cheng reached out and gripped Uchiha Itachi's shoulder, gazing tenderly at Tobi.

He believed this guy would agree—after all, even if he refused, it wouldn't matter.

"Take me too! You must take me too, or I'll sneak along!"

Tobi tucked away the pastries. He knew this guy had come for a reason; driven by curiosity, he wanted to take a look.

"There are people there you won't want to see—or rather, they're beyond your ability to handle. If you don't want to die, behave yourself. Once you're dead, you can't play anything anymore!"

Lin Cheng had anticipated this guy would want to follow.

But bringing him along would be a huge problem—Senju Hashirama, Senju Tobirama, and the Water Gate couple were all there.
