Naruto: Reincarnated as Sasuke Uchiha with Perfect Talents.

Until Sasuke and Kimimaro swaggered out of the Hidden Sand Village,

Not a single Sand Ninja dared to stop them.

Having just Sasuke was already terrifying enough, but adding another ninja with completely Kage-level strength?

The intimidation factor was overwhelming in such a situation.

Even the elite Jonin of the Sand Village dared not make a move.

"Damn it…"

A Sand Ninja now wept bitterly, perhaps because half of the village had been destroyed, or perhaps out of shame for his cowardice moments ago.

The other Sand Ninjas remained silent as well.

The prestigious Hidden Sand Village, one of the Five Great Nations, faced an invasion. The village was devastated, and their Jinchuriki was taken.

And yet, the Sand Ninjas didn't even dare to fight back.

"Why doesn't the Hidden Sand have any Kage-level ninjas, while those who come out of nowhere always do?"

"Are we really doomed to forever remain the weakest ninja village of the Five Great Nations?"

"The Fourth Kazekage was killed by Orochimaru, a rogue ninja from the Hidden Leaf, and now our Jinchuriki has also been captured by Sasuke Uchiha, another rogue from the Hidden Leaf. The Hidden Leaf... the Hidden Leaf must take responsibility for this!"

The Sand Ninjas began to feel some anger. They couldn't deal with Sasuke or Orochimaru,

But demanding an explanation from the Hidden Leaf was still possible!

"If only we had a Kage-level ninja, we wouldn't have to cower like this in front of those two or even the Hidden Leaf! We wouldn't be bullied like this!"

A Sand Jonin muttered.

But the next moment, another voice rang out.

"Who says the Hidden Sand doesn't have a Kage-level ninja?"

Hearing the voice, everyone turned toward its source.

Kankuro and Temari had arrived at this moment.

They had been outside the village when the battle began, and then the village was sealed by Gaara's sand barrier.

They had no way of getting inside!

The Jonin looked at the two.

As the bloodline of the Fourth Kazekage, both were indeed outstanding, with combat power comparable to Jonin at such a young age.

But when it came to Kage-level strength, they were still far off.

"Kankuro, Temari, maybe one day you two could become Kage-level ninjas, but now... you're still..."

Kankuro smiled. "I wasn't talking about the two of us!"

As he spoke, Kankuro stepped aside, revealing an elderly woman with a face full of wrinkles.

She looked so frail that a gust of wind might knock her over, but there wasn't a single Sand Ninja present who didn't recognize her.

"Chiyo-sama!"

"Are you coming out of retirement?"

Hearing the question from the two young Jonin, Chiyo sighed helplessly. "If this old woman doesn't step in, the Hidden Sand might truly collapse."

These words made the Sand Ninjas feel a bit ashamed.

"All right! Enough talk for now. Who took Gaara?"

"The Hidden Leaf's rogue ninja, Sasuke Uchiha!"

Uchiha?

Hearing that surname brought back unpleasant memories for Chiyo. "Another Uchiha. Can't this clan ever give people peace of mind?"

"If it's a rogue from the Hidden Leaf, then the Hidden Leaf must be held accountable. Why didn't they deal with their own people? And now they're wreaking havoc in the Hidden Sand Village!"

"If the Hidden Leaf doesn't give us an explanation, the Hidden Sand will not let this go!"

"Send someone to notify the Hidden Leaf, in my name!"

After Chiyo's statement, the Sand Ninjas felt a sudden sense of hope.

So this is what it feels like to have someone to rely on?

Even though Chiyo was elderly, she was undeniably Kage-level, known throughout the ninja world for her mastery of puppetry.

"Chiyo-sama, if we proceed this way, the Hidden Sand might lose face in the ninja world!"

Hearing this, Chiyo sneered.

"The Hidden Sand already has no face left!"

"Why care about that now?"

Though harsh, her words were true.

The Sand Ninjas looked uneasy.

Meanwhile, Sasuke and Kimimaro, who had left the Hidden Sand Village, were heading to a pre-arranged Wind Shadow location.

At the same time,

Zetsu was reporting Sasuke's battle performance to Obito.

"Sasuke Uchiha keeps surprising us!"

Obito looked at Zetsu. "Go on."

"Ninjutsu, Genjutsu, Taijutsu! In every category, Sasuke Uchiha excels. He's fully reached Kage-level in all aspects."

"To beat a Tailed Beast with just Taijutsu probably only the Third Raikage could manage that!"

Hearing this, Obito frowned slightly.

Capturing the One-Tail wasn't difficult. With Sasuke's strength, using Susanoo combined with his powerful Lightning Release made capturing the One-Tail a simple task.

But the problem was

He never expected Sasuke to use… just Taijutsu!

Obito knew very well how terrifying a Tailed Beast's power was. To overpower one with Taijutsu alone

That was no easy feat!

"How much more power is Sasuke Uchiha hiding from us?"

Zetsu observed Obito, who was already shocked, but there was more to reveal.

"This time, Sasuke used two forbidden Taijutsu techniques simultaneously. The power... was terrifying. Even just with the explosive force of those techniques, he could rival Hashirama Senju or perhaps... Madara Uchiha!"

Hearing this, Obito's pupils contracted sharply.

Just with Taijutsu...

Sasuke Uchiha he must be closely monitored.

As Obito pondered this, Zetsu suddenly sensed a summon from Pain.

"The sealing process has begun!"

Obito nodded. "Go."

The sealing of the One-Tail officially began.

It was Sasuke's first time participating in such a process, combining the power of ten individuals to seal the One-Tail into the Gedo Statue.

However, this time there were only nine participants Itachi Uchiha was absent.

Nagato didn't seem to care to inquire.

No one knew what Itachi Uchiha was doing at this moment.

At the same time, back in the Hidden Leaf,

Tsunade was dealing with a major headache.

'Sasuke, why did you have to capture the One-Tail…'

'Wasn't Kimimaro's situation already resolved?'

Although she wanted to confront Sasuke directly, she couldn't leave now, especially with the Hidden Sand's strong demands.

If the Hidden Leaf didn't provide an explanation, the Hidden Sand wouldn't let this matter rest.

And the best explanation?

For the Hidden Leaf to deal with Sasuke and rescue Gaara to return him to the Hidden Sand Village. Only then might the Hidden Sand calm down….
