Chapter 165: Ryūchi Cave
Naruto had been gone for over forty years.
Yet, the ninja world had hardly changed.
The scars from the battle with Nagato still marred the ground.
Yin Nine-Tails slipped away, eager to roam freely, and soon disappeared without a trace.
Meanwhile, Yang Nine-Tails, uninterested, perched on Naruto's shoulder, dozing off.
"Aren't we going to do experiments anymore?" Karin trailed behind Naruto, her tone laced with disappointment.
Naruto nodded. "We'll head to Rock Village first."
Mayuri Kurotsuchi might have been despicable, but his research skills were unmatched.
After spending years learning under him, Naruto revisited his earlier experiments upon returning to the ninja world, only to find them crude and lacking.
