In less than a moment, Uzumaki Ena opened her eyes. "I've found their location," she said, her voice filled with anticipation. Although she was quite happy now, with her enemies before her, she still couldn't maintain complete composure. Sasame smiled, stroking her head as a gesture of praise. Uzumaki Ena always felt that in front of him, she was treated like a child. Yet, he was technically the child. But this feeling was quite pleasant, making up for her previous lack of security.

Sasame then took out a mask, put it on, and said, "Let's go." He was currently Konoha Village's Hokage. If news accidentally got out, it would undoubtedly be troublesome. Especially since he would also have to explain to Tsunade. After all, he couldn't say it was for his little lover. Uzumaki Ena nodded, and with a few leaps, headed towards the Hidden Grass Village. Sasame followed closely. The two easily bypassed the gate guards and entered the village.

Long ago, Sasame had hired Sasori of the Red Sand and Kakuzu to rescue Uzumaki Ena and Karin from this very place. At that time, a group of ninjas were killed. Now, there were no traces left; it had recovered well. Sasame stroked his chin, hoping that the four high-ranking officials, Shen (Monkey), Wei (Goat), Wu (Horse), and Chou (Ox), were not dead. But on second thought, no Destiny Value had popped up, so they were probably still alive. Looks like they were lucky.

Uzumaki Ena stopped in front of a two-story wooden house. She glanced at Sasame, took a deep breath, and pushed open the room door. The sound woke the ninjas inside. Instantly, a middle-aged man appeared before the two. He frowned slightly. The man wore a mask, so his appearance was unknown. But the woman seemed familiar; he felt he had seen her somewhere before. He thought for a moment, then his expression changed. "It's you, Uzumaki Ena!"

"I didn't expect Lord Shen to still remember me," Uzumaki Ena's lips curved into a smile. She didn't lose her composure despite her enemy being in front of her. Over the years, as the head of the Sunny Company, handling business in several countries, she had become very composed. Except when it came to Sasame. She was still willing to cheer him on.

Shen's face changed slightly after she admitted it. He remembered that Uzumaki Ena and her daughter were rescued by three mysterious strong individuals. At that time, their Hidden Grass Village suffered heavy casualties. Now seeing Uzumaki Ena again, with a mysterious masked man beside her, was history about to repeat itself? Shen's body tensed, ready to escape. If Uzumaki Ena didn't have absolute certainty, how could she return to the Hidden Grass Village?

"What do you want from me? If I can help, I'll try my best," Shen forced a smile. "After all, our Hidden Grass Village took you in back then. Otherwise, you would have died."

Uzumaki Ena's red eyes flashed with a cold light, and she directly launched a punch.

Chakra Enhanced Strength!

The wind howled. Shen's smile froze. Just as he was about to use the Body Flicker Technique to escape, the punch struck his chest.

"Ah!" A scream followed the sound of bones breaking. Shen felt unbearable pain, and a mouthful of fresh blood rushed up, which he spat out. He was sent flying backward, crashing into the wooden house, kicking up dust everywhere. But he wasn't dead. Because Uzumaki Ena had held back.

"How is that possible?!" Shen struggled to look up, his eyeballs already bloodshot. He stared at Uzumaki Ena, whose hair was fluttering in the distance, his face filled with disbelief. Only a few years had passed since she left, yet her strength had soared to such an extent? It's simply unbelievable.What on earth did she experience?

"Enemy attack!" Such a commotion immediately attracted nearby Hidden Grass Village ninjas. Seeing Shen's tragic state, they screamed in alarm. Soon, many ninjas gathered, surrounding the three of them.

"Uzumaki Ena?" The leading captain recognized the red-haired woman. Her distinctive features and many years in the Hidden Grass Village made her identifiable. After a slight pause, his face drastically changed, and he shouted, "Everyone, be careful!" Clearly, Sasori of the Red Sand and Kakuzu from a few years ago had left a deep impression on him.

Uzumaki Ena glanced at Shen, then ignored him and turned to face the crowd. Although many years had passed, she still recognized the ninjas who had treated her as a human medicine. Without a word, she quickly formed hand seals. Golden chains surged from her body, and under her control, quickly attacked the ninjas of the Hidden Grass Village.

Earth Release: Earth-Style Wall! The captain quickly performed a defensive ninjutsu. When an earth wall rose before the golden chains, he breathed a sigh of relief. But the next second, the chains, like sharp blades, pierced through the wall, then impaled him. Blood splattered outwards. Everyone was horrified.

Water Release: Water Formation Wall! Another defensive ninjutsu. But it still couldn't stop them. In an instant, the golden chains were like the grim reaper, claiming lives; no one could escape. The Adamantine Sealing Chains, capable of restraining the Nine-Tails, were certainly overkill for killing people. But precisely because of this, they created a mowing-down effect. After all, even Tailed Beasts couldn't withstand them.

People kept falling. But because the two were in the center of the Hidden Grass Village, the number of ninjas rushing to the area was increasing. As Uzumaki Ena continued killing, her gentle demeanor faded. However, it had a different kind of charm. Shen, who had been defeated, glanced around, then fled without hesitation. Even though he was almost paralyzed, he had an inexplicable surge of adrenaline, a medical miracle.

"Trying to run?" Sasame instantly blocked Shen's path, reaching out to grab him.

"Die!" Shen roared, stabbing a kunai towards his neck.

Clang!

The kunai broke. Shen stood rooted to the spot, his eyes wide. He blurted out, "You... what kind of monster are you?!" Sasame glanced at the kunai. He suddenly thought of Hashirama Senju. When he tried to commit suicide with a kunai, Madara Uchiha actually believed his nonsense. Is this what they mean by love makes you blind?

Sasame grabbed Shen's shoulder and activated his Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan. He quickly learned the jutsu to open the Box of Ultimate Bliss and Ryūzetsu's location. Ryūzetsu was a relatively rare movie heroine who didn't fall for Naruto Uzumaki. This was because she and Muku were close friends, with childhood sweetheart sentiments. Although she sacrificed herself to save Naruto Uzumaki in the end, it was only out of gratitude. After Ryūzetsu joined the Hidden Grass Village's Anbu, she learned about Muku and had already gone to Hozuki Castle.

Sasame casually tossed Shen aside. More and more Hidden Grass Village ninjas gathered around them. But it was useless. Anyone who came within three meters of Uzumaki Ena would be greeted by the Adamantine Sealing Chains. However, her efficiency was indeed relatively slow. The Uzumaki clan's sealing jutsu was suitable for one-on-one combat, not group battles.

Water Release: Great Exploding Water Colliding Wave! Sasame formed hand seals, took a deep breath, and then opened his mouth. Surging chakra transformed into endless waves of water. Centered on him, it rushed in all directions, engulfing the nearby Hidden Grass Village ninjas. Accompanied by immense water pressure, many instantly lost their lives. More ninjas were enveloped by water, unable to move. The houses along the way were also completely destroyed.

Uzumaki Ena was slightly startled, then put away her chains and floated on the water, stepping on chakra. Sasame formed hand seals again, and the water waves disappeared, leaving only the unconscious Hidden Grass Village inhabitants scattered on the ground.

"Ena, find Wei (Goat), Wu (Horse), and Chou (Ox) for me."

"Okay," Uzumaki Ena quickly stepped forward and pointed out the three unconscious individuals. Sasame activated his Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan again, searching their memories. After obtaining the jutsu to open the Box of Ultimate Bliss, he nodded and said, "They're yours to deal with." Uzumaki Ena picked up a samurai sword from the ground and killed them without hesitation. Sasame also received one hundred twenty points of Destiny Value.

"What about the others?"

"No need," Uzumaki Ena dropped the samurai sword, exhaled, and said, "I've killed those who needed to be killed." She then stood in a daze for a moment. Complex emotions appeared on her face: the joy of having avenged a great wrong, and also the fear of killing for the first time. She instinctively ran to Sasame and hugged him. The unease in her heart gradually settled. But soon, she pushed him away in a hurry, saying embarrassedly, "I'm sorry, I'm covered in blood."

"Then let's go bathe together," Sasame picked her up by the waist. "Hmm, it saves water resources." Uzumaki Ena's face immediately turned crimson, but she didn't refuse; instead, she nodded.

Leaving the "lovers bathing" aside for a moment. At this time, Hozuki Castle welcomed two special prisoners. Mui scrutinized Naruto Uzumaki and Sasuke Uchiha. The two had changed their appearances, so he didn't recognize their true identities. After all, the Fourth Hokage's son and the Uchiha orphan were too famous in the ninja world. Delivering them to prison untouched felt like a conspiracy no matter how he thought about it. Mui expressionlessly scanned the documents submitted by Konoha Village. Sasuke Uchiha's alias was Kojiro, and Naruto Uzumaki's was Musashi. Their crime was attempted assassination of the Hokage. Mui's eyes flickered slightly. These two were quite bold. The new Hokage of Konoha, Sasame, had recently suppressed the Kazekage Rasa and Shukaku, the One-Tail, single-handedly, making him famous throughout the ninja world. Even Mui himself wouldn't dare to do such a foolish thing. Because it was a guaranteed death sentence.

Mui raised his hand, and red flames appeared on his white glove.

"Hey, what are you trying to do?" Naruto Uzumaki felt danger and struggled uneasily. Sasuke Uchiha's eyes also narrowed. Mui paid no attention, slamming his palm onto Naruto Uzumaki's body. Instantly, his clothes shattered, and red flames, like chains, entered his body.

"What is that?" Naruto Uzumaki instinctively covered his groin, feeling a chilling sensation. Sasuke Uchiha's body stiffened, already considering whether to give up this mission. But his teacher was the Hokage; if he gave up the mission, it might have a negative impact on the Uchiha clan.

"This is our castle lord's ninjutsu, called Fire Release: Heavenly Prison," the nearby jailer began to explain. "If you try to escape, the Heavenly Prison curse mark will turn into flaming chains, burning your body. And if you go too far from the caster, you'll also be burned to death." Mui raised his hand again and slammed it onto Sasuke Uchiha's body. Naruto Uzumaki looked curiously at his teammate. He subconsciously made a comparison.

"I'll definitely kill you!" Sasuke Uchiha said, red with anger. Mui had heard such threats countless times and showed no reaction. The two were immediately sent to a cell.
