Chapter 715: Let Pain Descend Upon This World Again!
"This blow! There's no way that guy could have withstood it, right?" Boruto said.
Sasuke smiled. "Of course, he couldn't. This was your dad's full-power attack!"
If even a full-power attack from Naruto could be blocked, then this Shibai would truly be invincible.
However, while Sasuke and Naruto were teaming up to deal with Shibai, back in Konoha Village, Shikamaru, who was swamped with dealing with the four great ninja villages, was on the verge of collapse.
"News from the Cloud Village! The Cloud's vanguard has entered the Land of Iron and will soon cross it to enter Konoha!"
"News from the Mist Village direction! The Mist's ninja forces are already preparing to attack the port of the Land of Waves!"
"On the Sand Village front, the Sand's vanguard is in steady retreat under the fierce attack of Lord Third Hokage Hiruzen. However, the Sand Village's main army is rushing to the battlefield."
"At the same time, the Fourth Kazekage has also arrived at the front lines ahead of schedule and is currently in a standoff with Lord Third Hokage Hiruzen."
"From the Stone Village, their ninja are entering the Land of Fire. According to the original plan, we are luring the Stone ninja deep into the heartland of the Land of Fire to then encircle and attack them."
The Cloud ninja were powerful, so the strategy was to delay. The Mist ninja were strong in both quality and quantity, so the strategy was to obstruct. The Stone ninja were numerous but slightly weaker, so the strategy was to encircle and annihilate. As for the final Sand Village, their individual strength was astonishing, but their teamwork was poor, so the strategy was annihilation. This was Konoha's strategic policy for the Fifth Great Ninja War.
Different ninja villages required different methods of response. If the Sand was dealt with, the next step would depend on the situation: whether to deal with the Mist or the Cloud, or to take the opportunity to finish off the Stone. It was hard to make a judgment right now.
Shikamaru looked at these reports, then at the Anbu ninja on the other side. "Still no news of Naruto?"
The other party shook his head. "No news for now."
Shikamaru sighed helplessly. Although everything had been going relatively smoothly so far, he always felt that something was not right. A strong sense of unease lingered in his heart. He looked at the map over and over again but couldn't find anything wrong or anything he had overlooked. Even if problems arose on the front lines, he had arranged for troops. Konoha's ninja forces were the largest in the shinobi world; there was no battlefield they couldn't reinforce.
The reason he hadn't committed all his forces from the beginning was that battles between ninja were not about numbers. The clash of top-tier combatants could often decide the course of a battle on an entire front. So Shikamaru preferred to decide the outcome in this way, which could minimize casualties to the greatest extent.
Every ninja, even a genin, had parents. If they died in battle, their families would be heartbroken. Shikamaru knew this well. It was precisely for this reason that he had arranged the battlefield situation this way.
But now, this feeling of unease was too strong, and he didn't know where it was coming from!
At this moment, within Konoha Village, in a hotel room, Nagato looked out the window at the bustling Konoha Village. Konan walked up beside him. "The Great Ninja War has clearly broken out, yet Konoha is still a picture of peace and prosperity!"
"It's as if this war has nothing to do with them at all!" As she spoke, Konan found it somewhat hard to understand. Why was it that even though the war had already begun, Konoha seemed completely unaffected? Why was that?
Kakuzu suddenly spoke up at this moment: "Konoha's scale is too large! I'm not talking about the size of Konoha Village, but the manpower, resources, and financial power of the Land of Fire!"
"One country facing the invasion of four countries simultaneously, and they can manage to keep their domestic affairs completely unaffected!"
"This shows that the strength of this country has far surpassed that of the other countries!"
Hearing this, Nagato snorted coldly. "However, all of this is built on the blood of other nations!"
"Because of Konoha, other countries have become desolate, causing people from other countries to leave their homes!"
"These sins are hidden beneath Konoha's peace and prosperity!" Nagato said, a fierce light flashing in his eyes.
This was something that couldn't be helped. With the development of the times, the population would naturally concentrate in developed cities. Less developed places would have fewer and fewer people. This was something that couldn't be helped. However, Nagato saw all of this as a sin. Now, he was going to mete out so-called punishment to Konoha.
In this world, there wasn't so much black and white; most of it was gray. But Nagato clearly didn't agree with this view.
"Konoha has enjoyed a peace it doesn't deserve. Then let Konoha feel the pain!" Nagato said, and the members of Akatsuki in the room stood up one by one.
"Are we finally going to make a move, Leader?" Hidan asked, carrying his scythe, a chilling smile on his face.
Kakuzu on the side also seemed to look forward to it. Sasori and Deidara were equally eager. Both of them had basically perfected their art. In this situation, both of them couldn't wait to show off their art to everyone.
Kisame Hoshigaki looked at his arm. Samehada, which had been thoroughly integrated with him through technology, also seemed very excited. The current Kisame could truly be called a Tailed Beast without a tail. White Zetsu also stood up silently. Without Black Zetsu, he was now indeed an obedient fellow.
Before starting, Nagato wanted to see one more person. This person was none other than Obito.
At this moment, Obito was at home with Rin, trying to cook a new dish. However, when Obito sensed Nagato's chakra, he was stunned.
"Rin, I need to take you somewhere. Don't be afraid, just wait for me there obediently."
Rin trusted Obito very much and nodded. Obito then absorbed Rin into his Kamui dimension. And at this time, Nagato appeared in front of Obito.
"So, this is what you wanted?"
"A house, a woman!"
Hearing this, Obito smiled. "To be precise, a world with Rin in it!"
"Are you deceiving yourself?" Nagato smiled. "Even if you've gotten what you wished for now, you seem to have forgotten that if this continues, Sasuke Uchiha will eventually send everyone who doesn't belong to this world back!"
Obito nodded. "Of course, I know! But I will absolutely not let that happen!"
"It seems there's nothing more to say!" Nagato said, preparing to leave.
But Obito called out to him. "You came here just to say these things to me?"
Hearing this, Nagato stopped. "No! I came just to tell you, if you don't want to get involved, you'd better take your woman and leave Konoha!"
"You're going to... make a move on Konoha?"
"Nagato, are you courting death? Even the Sage of the Six Paths is currently..."
"Can you still feel that man's presence? Is he really still in Konoha?" Nagato said with a half-smile.
Suddenly, Obito was stunned. Why! Why couldn't he feel the Sage's presence... What on earth was going on...
📢 An Important Announcement Regarding the Translation and New Directions! 📢
Hello, dear readers and fellow ninja journey companions! ❤️
Firstly, I want to sincerely apologize for my disappearance in the last few days and for the absence of new chapters of our beloved fanfic. I know you eagerly await each update, and I'm very sorry for this unexpected pause.
I have an important announcement about the future of our translation of "Naruto: Reincarnated as Sasuke Uchiha with Perfect Talents." To maintain the quality and consistency you deserve, I had to make a difficult decision: from now on, we will be posting one chapter per day.
"But why?" you must be wondering. The truth is, the process of bringing this story to you has been more complex than I imagined. The website where I find the original Chinese version inserts several slashes (□) in the middle of the words. This makes the image-to-text conversion process enormously difficult. Each chapter requires a meticulous review to ensure no words are lost and, most laboriously, for every word containing these slashes, I need to manually rewrite the Chinese passage to ensure the translation is accurate. 😫
As you can imagine, this consumes a gigantic amount of time, and to avoid compromising the quality of what I deliver to you, I had to slow down the pace.
✨ But here comes the good news and a special invitation! ✨
If you love "Sasuke Uchiha Perfect Talents" as much as I do and would like to see more chapters posted daily, I invite you to consider supporting me on Patreon! With your support, I can dedicate more time and resources to speed up this process.
Check out our goals:
🎯 With 20 paying members, we'll go back to posting 2 chapters per day!
🌟 With 30 paying members, we'll increase to 3 chapters per day!
🚀 With 40 paying members, we'll have 4 chapters per day!
🔥 And with 50 paying members, we'll reach the incredible milestone of 5 chapters per day!
Every contribution, no matter how small, makes a huge difference and helps me continue bringing this and other stories to you.

I sincerely thank you for your understanding, patience, and all the affection you show. I will continue to do my best to bring you the best possible content!
A big hug and see you in the next chapter! Leanzin
