I am the most popular character in Naruto!

Sai asked Yamato a thought-provoking question, and Yamato sighed deeply, "I also want to know the answer to this question."

"His chakra isn't unlimited."

Sakura heard their question and turned to say, "At least, in my opinion, the only person with unlimited chakra is Master."

Chiaki himself is of royal blood from the Uzumaki clan, and his chakra reserves are terrifyingly large.

In addition, the fully developed Yin Seal stores a large amount of chakra, making Chiaki's chakra reserves truly exaggerated.

Naruto?

He's just a brat who acts recklessly because he relies on the Nine-Tails' chakra. If you really want unlimited chakra, you'll have to wait and see.

Well.

Despite Sakura's words, Yamato and Sai still felt that Naruto had gone too far.

This guy isn't very good at math. What he sees as a few hundred shadow clones is actually over a thousand.

At the same time, it drives these thousands of people to search and provides them with chakra and other necessities for combat...

That's just too much.

What's even more outrageous is that this guy didn't feel anything at all, which means that a mere thousand people is far from Naruto's limit.

Although Naruto is not a qualified ninja, he still possesses the basic reconnaissance abilities required of a ninja.

After the shadow clones of thousands of people spread out, intelligence from the entire underground base gradually came back.

Having already been told the "secret" that shadow clones can transmit information, Naruto is now using shadow clones with incredible skill.

Just like a human computer, it can make a shadow clone run to the end of a path, then automatically dissolve and send the message back.

In terms of intelligence gathering capabilities alone, Naruto's troop-rush tactic is even more effective than Sai's intelligence-gathering rats in this kind of open and aboveboard reconnaissance mission.

"This way, this way!"

After Naruto closed his eyes to process the information for a while, he waved to Yamato.

Yamato nodded in agreement and they proceeded. The four of them soon arrived at the location where they had discovered Naruto's shadow clone, which resembled a laboratory.

"This underground base must have been completely abandoned. My shadow clone didn't see any trace of anyone living there."

Naruto spoke earnestly, and Sakura glanced at him, feeling that the kid had become quite smarter after training with Jiraiya...

"The other shadow clones are still investigating, but this is probably the most likely place to hide the information."

"Well done, Naruto!"

Although I'm not used to Naruto's flamboyant style of doing things, the ultimate goal of the mission is to obtain information. As long as we achieve this goal, the means to achieve it are not very important.

Chapter 669 He's Here

"It seems the data is most likely in this lab."

"In that case, let's begin the search!"

Yamato observed the surrounding environment. Following Orochimaru's habit of hiding things, he would usually put the data in a secret room closest to the laboratory.

So, the next step is to gather intelligence and clues, and then use those clues to decipher the secret room...

"Alright—since we're here, Sakura-chan, let's get started!"

Naruto thumped his fist against his palm, showing that he was ready to fight.

Sakura nodded and gestured to Naruto.

"Naruto, you go over there, I'll take care of this."

"Oh!"

Naruto enthusiastically accepted Sakura's assignment and happily went to the other side of the wall.

"Hey... what are you guys planning to do?"

A sense of foreboding flashed through Yamato's mind, while Sai tilted his head with a smile, curiously observing Naruto and Sakura's actions.

After all, the way those two carried out their missions was completely different from how I carried out my missions in the Root.

"Oh, right, Captain Yamato and Sai, you two should stay away, just in case there are any traps or flying rocks that might hit you."

Sakura thoughtfully reminded Yamato and Sai, and then raised her gloved fist.

"Hey Hey hey--"

Yamato's bad premonition came true immediately. He grabbed Sai, who was still standing there staring blankly, and pulled him back. With a press of his hand, a wooden wall quickly appeared in front of him.

"asshole!!!"

Sakura let out a loud shout and unleashed a powerful punch at the wall.

At the same time, Naruto raised an enormous Rasengan and slammed it down against the wall.

"Ninpo! Otama Rasengan!"

Boom!

Two explosions rang out from the underground stronghold, shaking the entire stronghold and causing countless insects, ants, and beasts to flee.

After three years of training, both Naruto and Sakura have reached the level of Jonin. Some, like Naruto, who are highly talented, have even reached the threshold of becoming elite Jonin.

However, compared to Sasuke, Naruto is still somewhat weaker.

After all, under Orochimaru's training, Sasuke had long since broken through the threshold of elite Jonin and was now fully exploring his own Kage path in order to achieve Kage level.

"My God..."

After the dust settled, Yamato, covered in dust and grime, packed up his tattered wooden wall and stared blankly at Sakura and Naruto.

Sai's face also showed a shocked expression at the right time; well, he was genuinely a little shocked.

How could two Jonin create such a tremendous commotion?

What would happen if they grew to the level of a Kage?

"Over here! The data has been found!"

Naruto excitedly waved his arms, acting as if nothing had happened, completely oblivious to the extent of the impact his attack had caused.

After all, he was already used to such wide-range attacks.

Which of those monsters around us isn't capable of using such wide-area attacks?

"Tch, so he's with Naruto?"

Sakura patted the dust off herself, glanced at the completely shattered wall, and regretfully turned away.

The moment she turned her head, the entire wall shattered, revealing mottled dirt underneath.

What stealth?

What is quiet warfare?

What is the search for and deciphering of clues?

The best way to quickly clear a dungeon is to destroy it directly!

"Yes, I need to write this down."

Sai stroked his chin. Although he was quite versatile, he was, after all, carrying out covert missions and lacked such explosive means. Perhaps he could learn a little about it in the future.

"You are really..."

Yamato walked over to Naruto with a headache and took the documents from the proud-looking Naruto.

"Hmm... these are indeed the documents we need."

After studying the material that he couldn't understand but found very impressive, Yamato nodded in approval.

"Does that mean our mission is complete?"

"Can we go back and collect our reward now?"

Naruto said with a grin, wondering who it was that was initially unwilling to do the mission.

Although he usually pays for his own living expenses, being able to earn his own money is something to be happy about.

"Fortunately, we didn't encounter any other ninjas on this mission. We just need to clean up this place and check if there's anything else."

Yamato nodded and said to Naruto, relieved that the B-rank mission had been completed so easily.

"Then leave the cleanup to me, I'm a professional."

Sai walked over with a smile and took the initiative to accept this dirty and tiring work.

After all, his super beast imitation paintings are widely applicable and can be used to complete various odd jobs very well.

"Oh, then I'm going to deactivate the shadow clone."

Naruto nodded upon seeing this, but before he could make a move, his expression suddenly changed.

Immediately afterwards, the previously empty and silent underground base was suddenly filled with a large number of Naruto's screams.

The screams rose and fell, and the plumes of white smoke showed that Naruto's shadow clones were being rapidly slaughtered.

"who?!"

Yamato became alert, and Sai raised an eyebrow and pulled out his scroll.

The ninja who could defeat Naruto's shadow clone so quickly must be a powerful one.

Sakura, on the other hand, came to Naruto's side, her heart filled with unease.

"Naruto……"

She had never seen the usually carefree Naruto make such a fuss. Even when his shadow clones were destroyed in large numbers, he would never show such a shocked expression.

After all, there are far too many ninjas in this world who could eliminate Naruto's shadow clones so quickly.

Unless this ninja is...

"Sakura-chan..."

"he came."

Naruto took a deep breath and turned to look at Sakura.
