Chapter 265 Something Happened to Sunagakure, and It Was an Eventful Time Before Leaving.
Hinata went in and out seven or eight times in a row, and finally took all of Naruto's gifts.
Holding the last stuffed bear in her hands, Hinata's mouth dropped, looking like she was bullied. Naruto's mouth twitched and he asked seriously while suppressing a smile.
"What’s wrong with you?"
"It's too much," she said hesitantly, looking like she was about to cry. "It won't fit in the room."
"It's okay, just find a place to put it." He liked to bully Hinata, looking at her aggrieved expression that she wanted to cry but couldn't, and he had to hide it.
I wondered for no reason whether Hinata would be the introverted type who covered her mouth and tried not to shout out in the future.
In mid-March, something happened to Sunagakure.
When Naruto heard the news, he jumped up from the bed in excitement and looked at the messenger secretary Uzuki Yugan standing outside the window.
"real?"
"Can Lady Tsunade's news be false?" Uzuki Xiyan said helplessly, secretly cursing an idiot in her heart, "You know the Hokage Building."
After saying that, the person disappeared instantly.
With the light and shadow dancing, Naruto stood on the bed and thought for a while. If the Akatsuki organization was already working on extracting the tailed beasts, then he probably wouldn't be able to deal with the Akatsuki organization alone.
The best helpers are Jiraiya, Kakashi, and Metkai, but these people are already the mainstay of the Konoha ninja lineage.
Letting them all participate in the action is almost equivalent to the direct hollowing out of the Konoha Hokage faction. Such a large battle requires sufficient intelligence to support it, and the decision can only be made through high-level decision-making.
Danzo does have talents at his core, but Danzo is the kind of old Yinbi who would rather watch the destruction of Konoha than preserve his strength. My heart has long been twisted, and the root of it is a time bomb.
Besides, the two old advisors in Konoha would not interfere under normal circumstances. For those old guys like them, it is a shame for a village to be in such a state of decline that it requires consultants to take action.
Shaking his head, Naruto came back to his senses and frowned slightly. The biggest problem now is that Jiraiya doesn't know what happened, and it keeps dragging on.
Said to be the son of some prophecy, Asura's chakra has found the reincarnated enemy again?
After washing up a bit, he shuffled to the entrance to change his shoes. Kyuubi was still lying there resting, looking quite drunk.
Before going out, he turned his head and glanced at Kyuubi, showing a thoughtful expression.
The evil god's lackey locked the Kyuubi, and also limited the external force extraction of the Akatsuki organization, which was equivalent to putting on a layer of armor for this dead dog. If Pain raided Konoha, it would be enough to throw the Kyuubi out and get beaten.
The door closed with a bang. Kyuubi didn't know that it had been plotted, so he turned over comfortably and continued to sleep.
Hokage Building.
In the corridor, dense sunlight hit the wall, and Naruto pushed open the door. There was a dense circle of people standing inside, with the Ino, Deer, and Butterfly trio standing at the innermost side, and then Neji's third class.
Sakura stood alone, her pale arms hanging down.
He was stunned for a moment, thinking that this mission still required so many people? He could understand the deployment of Neji's third squad, but what about Shikamaru's tenth squad?
Ino glanced at Naruto, her mouth slightly deflated.
He saw it, but he didn't know what offended her, so he simply pretended to be blind. He coughed and pretended to knock on the door.
"Naruto Uzumaki, I'm glad you can knock on the door." Tsunade looked at him speechlessly, "But I don't like it if you stand inside the door and knock."
Whether you like it or not doesn't stop me from knocking on the door, he retorted silently in his mind.
After a while of commotion, Tsunade got to the point.
"A message for help has been sent from Sunagakure. The Akatsuki organization injured and took Gaara Kazekage away. The opponent we face this time is the Akatsuki organization. We cannot take it lightly."
"Where's Kakashi-sensei?" Naruto couldn't help interrupting Tsunade and asked.
Where's Brother Kaz? What about the older brother Kazi? The two people responsible for capturing Gaara in the Akatsuki organization are most likely Scorpion and Deidara. It is really inconvenient not to have Kazi.
But in front of all his friends, he can't just say that the enemy is too strong, I'm afraid you can't. Words are like water thrown out and cannot be taken back.
It doesn't matter if you are younger, it's childlike.
But right now, the friends around me are all sixteen or seventeen years old, half-footed into the eighteen-year-old ban. Bah, they are eighteen years old.
There is no shortage of self-esteem. The closer the relationship is with friends, the more careful they must be to maintain them. Otherwise, it is true to that sentence. The older you grow up, the lonelier you will become.
"Kakashi is on a mission and won't be back soon. A message has been sent to him. He will rush directly to the Sunagakure Village for support." Tsunade crossed her arms and said.
"Oh, there's no need for Kakashi-sensei at all, there are enough of us." Naruto said.
"Konoha doesn't know much about the members of the Akatsuki organization, but according to the information from Sunagakure, their strength far exceeds that of ordinary jounin."
Tsunade frowned and looked at the crowd and said.
"This mission will be completed by the eight of you. Shikamaru will be the captain, and Uzumaki Naruto will be honest. The mission content is to support Sunagakure Village, and the mission is tentatively designated as A."
"Yes." Shikamaru cheered up and accepted the task.
"What do you mean I should be more honest?" Naruto was speechless. Isn't he honest enough? After staying in the village for so long, I didn’t even bully a dog.
Tsunade ignored him and looked directly at Ino.
"Ino, watch him carefully, don't let that kid ruin the relationship between the allies."
"Hmm!" The sudden roll call caught Ino off guard. His whole body straightened subconsciously, and his face turned red after hearing the content clearly.
Sakura stood aside, her expression unchanged. She had known about Naruto and Ino's relationship for a long time, and she had never thought deeply about it in the future, just squandering her time with the mentality of living one day at a time.
For her, it is difficult for her to be excited by traditional moral values, let alone fall in love.
Shikamaru didn't look at Ino, but glanced at Naruto with dead fish eyes, thinking that this person is really boring. Being able to have passionate fights with several girls proves that Naruto himself has some brains and is even very smart.
But every time I asked him to play shogi, the guy would always come up with various excuses to refuse. What's so fun about women? It will only affect the speed of his thinking when playing shogi.
A smile appeared on Choji's face. The last time he had a barbecue, he planned to kill Naruto, but Ino ended up paying for it.
He didn't know if the barbecue was full, but the dog food was already full.
Regarding the close relationship between his best friends, he specifically asked Shikamaru how he felt. Choji remembered clearly that Shikamaru looked up at the sky, and it took him a while to utter an idiotic sentence.
Tenten's eyes were fixed on his idol, Tsunade Hime, and he didn't notice anything wrong with that sentence. There was no woman in Xiao Li's eyes, so he naturally didn't react.
Neji understood, but the cold man didn't care.
Naruto looked indifferent, and his psychological quality was quite strong. Tsunade's words didn't make any waves in his heart, and he even felt that the words were too childish.
"I, Tsunade-sama, I can't do that kind of thing." A shy expression appeared on Ino's face, and she subconsciously waved her hands to deny it.
But inside, I felt a little confused and happy, and my face turned red. Perhaps he could feel the focused gazes from all around, and Ino could hardly lift his head.
Before Tsunade could reply, Naruto spoke first.
"Okay, okay, I'll just be honest."
Hearing this, Tsunade grinned slightly and looked at Naruto deflated, as if she had discovered his little secret, and suddenly showed a successful smile. But he soon realized that this was a formal occasion, and immediately restrained himself.
Naruto also saw Tsunade's expression, his eyelids suddenly jumped and he felt something bad. Based on his understanding of Tsunade, that unscrupulous woman, she would probably rely on Ino to defeat him.
But he didn't care.
"Alright, as usual, prepare yourselves and set off in two hours." Shikamaru turned around and said to everyone.
The dog-headed military advisor was still very reliable, so he left after a few words. Everyone dispersed, Ino was about to leave, but was directly grabbed by Naruto.
"What's wrong?" Ino turned around, Tsunade was still sitting there.
Naruto looked at Ino's blushing cheeks with some confusion and wondered what was going on with the cute expression his wife was currently wearing. No, Tsunade is a woman.
Hum, Tsunade stared at the boy and girl holding hands in front of her with interest, at least that's what she thought. Leaning lazily in the chair, he subconsciously touched the wine bottle but found it was empty. He couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.
She remembered that there was half a bottle of wine just now, why was it gone again?
"Why are you nervous?" Naruto secretly squeezed Ino's hand without changing his expression and asked, "Wait for me downstairs for a while. I have something to tell you."
Ino didn't answer immediately. He glanced cautiously at Tsunade who was obsessed with drinking, and then hummed in a low voice. She gently broke away from his hand and quickly turned around and left.
Over there, Tsunade was still frowning as she recalled how much she had drunk in the morning, and Naruto coughed and spoke.
"Stop looking for it, I confiscated the wine."
"You!" Tsunade was immediately so angry that she wanted to turn over the table and punch him into the wall, unable to dig him out.
"Don't drink and fish during working hours. Only by working hard can you be a good Hokage." Naruto said with a stern and old-fashioned look.
"What's wrong with your brain? Let me check it out for you." Tsunade looked at no one around and simply put her legs on the edge of the table and rested her head on the soft chair.
"If you need to do it, you have to do it. Treat it as soon as possible and recover quickly."
Hearing the word "che" pop out of Tsunade's mouth, Naruto always felt a chill. He frowned and said straight to the point.
"Can Kakashi-sensei provide timely support?"
Hearing this, Tsunade's face became serious and she retracted her calf. She pondered for a while, knocked on the table again, and then spoke.
"It should work."
"Don't do it. I just wanted to say it. The more people there are, the easier it is to cause trouble." He said, "Seven or eight chuunin, if they encounter the Akatsuki organization, everything will be over."
"I know." Tsunade pinched her eyebrows and sighed, "The incident happened suddenly. There is no news from Jiraiya yet, so the Akatsuki organization's intelligence cannot be fed back in time."
"Even if you want to deploy elite jounin, it will be very troublesome. After all, there is no precise information to round up the members of the Akatsuki organization. If it fails, it will leave a reason for wasting the village's resources."
"And this mission is only to support Sunagakure. Some elders of Sunagakure are still die-hards and have deep prejudices against Konoha."
Speaking of this, Tsunade subconsciously touched the wine glass, and then gave up after feeling it was empty, and then continued.
"Including that old advisor of Sunagakure, they don't believe that Konoha can easily reach reconciliation with Sunagakure. Their minds are still stuck in the Third Ninja World War."
Hearing this, Naruto was stunned for a moment, he didn't think that deeply.
"Wouldn't it be more appropriate to send a jounin to lead the team? If only a few of us chuunin minnows go there, wouldn't it mean that Sunagakure and the others are being blamed?"
"I've been busy with tasks lately, so just leave it alone. Those people think that every dog in Konoha is black, so it doesn't matter." Tsunade waved her hand and said casually.
Seeing Tsunade's bastard behavior, Naruto didn't know what to say for a while.
"Anyway, I don't want you to get into trouble by asking you to follow up." Tsunade continued, "Don't cause too much conflict with Sunagakure. After all, we are allies."
"Besides, don't let those kids suffer too much. If anything happens, I'll take care of it for you."
Tsunade had subconsciously ignored Naruto's age and excluded him from the group of children. Naruto didn't feel anything was wrong when he heard this and nodded.
"As long as we don't run into the Akatsuki organization on the road, that's just in case." He said with some worry, "Isn't there any news from the lustful immortal?"
"No." Tsunade shook her head, "He has always been used to freedom. He will not convey information at will until he has detected the exact information."
The conversation ends here.
Naruto slowly went downstairs with his thoughts on his mind, and saw Ino pacing downstairs.
Her eyes were not directly on Naruto, but looked behind him. She breathed a sigh of relief until she was sure that Tsunade had not gone downstairs.
The mental pressure facing Naruto was still too great. Naruto could chat with Tsunade at will, but that didn't mean that the rest of the people could. Although Tsunade has always been very kind and has no airs.
But after all, she is the idol of all Konoha ninjas and Princess Slug, one of the three ninjas. No matter what, I still can't be as casual as Naruto.
"What are you looking at?" He waved his hand casually in front of Ino.
"It scared me to death. What Tsunade-sama just said." Ino said, patting her chest in fear, with a guilty look on her face, "Are you scared?"
"Oh~, scared." He said.
Ino couldn't help but hit him, and instantly realized that wasn't this a disguised admission? I suddenly felt flustered and a little confused, as if this was good.
But she was a little unsure of Naruto's thoughts, and her brows furrowed when she thought of Hinata, and her tone became dissatisfied.
"What do you want to say to me?"
"Huh?" Naruto was a little amazed at Ino's expression for a few seconds, and thought to himself: Does this woman's face change faster than the sky? I was happy just now, but it changed in the blink of an eye.
Still available tonight.
