This Naruto is a player

Don't ask, Obito Uchiha will take responsibility for this.

If all else fails, even Danzo Shimura, a veteran retainer of Root and a traitor to Konoha, will claim responsibility.

Look, Shimura Danzo is the true loyalist of Konoha. Even after his defection, he still remained loyal to Konoha, working tirelessly like an old ox, taking the blame for Konoha and Root!

He loved Konoha deeply!

The survey that Karin presented was actually a questionnaire, allowing the Roots staff to choose which department they would work for in the future.

Of course, the main decision-making power still rests with Naruto.

After taking a closer look at the personnel selection, Naruto had a basic understanding that, barring any unforeseen circumstances, things would generally proceed according to the arrangements listed above.

After all, their abilities are roughly the same, but

Naruto's eyes flickered slightly upon seeing a certain name.

"Is Shigaraki Tanuki going to the intelligence department?" he asked, turning to Karin, who was sniffing herself.

When her act of sniffing was discovered, Karin blushed and quickly adjusted her glasses, putting on a serious face: "Yes, cough cough, yes."

"Let's move him to the protection department." Recalling Shigaraki Tanuki's ability to flatter, Naruto felt that it would be a waste of his talent to send him to the intelligence department.

As a hard-working ox who has devoted himself to Root, Konoha, and the ninja world, Naruto Uzumaki also needs some 'psychological massage'!

"Protection department? Who are they supposed to protect?"

Naruto replied matter-of-factly, "Of course, it's to protect me!"

"Oh, okay!" Karin quickly grabbed a pen and jotted down the change.

After confirming the list, Karin withdrew.

Naruto smiled knowingly as he watched her leave.

Although Naruto didn't want to 'take action' too early, in his original plan he was to start changing the ninja world when he was 16 years old. Besides, he hadn't even found a reliable clone who could be an 'emperor' yet.

Once they rule the ninja world, they probably won't even have holidays.

However, the ninja world forced him to do so.

The changes to Root were Naruto's first step in changing the ninja world.

The roots will become his most useful tool!

If the ninja world is a flock of sheep, then Root is Naruto's sheepdog, used to restrain the ninja world from developing in the direction he wants!

Although it was a forced action, that's just Naruto's personality: as still as a mountain, and as powerful as thunder.

There is only one possible future for the ninja world!

With this in mind, Naruto used Flying Thunder God Technique to reach the Hokage Rock, standing atop the Fourth Hokage's head and admiring the view of Konoha.

Although a gentle breeze was blowing, the sky in the distance had already changed color. Dark clouds were approaching from beside the sun overhead, and soon the sun would be covered by clouds. The sky was filled with layers of clouds, and dark clouds pressed down on the mountains, as if a rainstorm was imminent.

"The wind is picking up!" Naruto said softly.

If that's the case, then let's start a war that will completely transform the ninja world!

Let's use this war to completely shatter the shackles of the ninja world!

Let the sun's brilliance shine upon the ninja world!

Chapter 203 It's all Naruto's fault!

sunset.

The last rays of the setting sun cast a golden glow on the western desert, creating a dazzling golden landscape.

The fine sand on the ground was dyed golden by the setting sun, a breathtaking sight.

The grains of sand occasionally stirred up by the gentle breeze are crystal clear.

Yura watched all of this silently.

"Isn't it beautiful?" a voice came from beside me.

A person came up to him, staring intently at the west, and admired the beautiful scenery with him.

You don't even need to look at Yura to know that this is Yuno.

This is outside the walls of Sunagakure. The two of them, no, they, along with dozens of ninjas, high-ranking Sunagakure officials, and many more Sunagakure residents, are waiting here for the return of the hostages captured by Konoha.

"What a pity! It only looks golden. If it were real gold, how wonderful that would be! If it were all gold, would our Sunagakure be saved?" Yuno sighed sincerely, a lingering sorrow on her face.

Yura did not answer and remained silent.

Yuna had already gotten used to it.

His friend had become even more taciturn since leading a group of people on an S-class mission.

Yuno knew part of the mission; it was a mission of betraying one's country for personal gain. Therefore, she understood Yura's change.

Moreover, after returning from that mission, everyone in the team except Yura was left with deep psychological trauma and is still recovering.

By comparison, Yura is quite a tough guy!

Recalling the person she met during Yura's mission, Yuno realized the reason for the failure of this campaign against Konoha.

He sighed deeply, "It's been three days, they should be back by now, right?"

"Hmm." Yura nodded perfunctorily.

“Yura.” Yuno paused, thinking about the culprit behind the failure of this expedition, and finally couldn’t help but say it.

He turned his head, his eyes filled with confusion, "Is Naruto Uzumaki really that strong?"

Yuno didn't understand. Was Naruto Uzumaki, as advertised in the newspaper, really that strong?

Yura paused for a moment, then nodded slightly.

"Ah."

Yuno knew that although Yura was a man of few words, she understood her childhood friend, Yura, who never lied.

"hehe."

Yuno smiled, a smile tinged with helplessness.

In the distance, one, several, a dozen, and more and more figures crossed the high sand dunes and appeared in everyone's sight.

"They're back! They're back!" a ninja shouted.

Everyone rushed forward immediately.

"Welcome back, heroes!"

Welcome home, heroes!

In no time, all sorts of slogans were shouted.

The public gave it a warm welcome, and the atmosphere at the scene was incredibly enthusiastic.

Although these returning people were hostages defeated and imprisoned by Konoha, they were still people who risked their lives for the future interests of Sunagakure, and they are all heroes of Sunagakure!

The saying "their enemy is our hero" is nothing more than this.

In stark contrast to the jubilant crowd, the hostages were dejected and disoriented, some even looking utterly defeated.

Among the returning heroes, someone in the welcoming party spotted a friend, went up to him, patted him on the shoulder, and encouraged him, "Why are you so discouraged? Next time, next time we'll definitely win!"

He was ambitious; although he lost this time, he was sure he would win next time.

Will they oppose war?

No, it's just about opposing defeat!

The scene was very lively, and the hostages were so caught up in the atmosphere that they felt much more at ease.

On the makeshift stage, the elderly woman Chiyo delivered an important speech.

Looking back on the past and looking forward to the future, the meeting continued until everyone present had swallowed several mouthfuls of sand before the meeting was officially disbanded.

Then, a grand welcome banquet was held in the village.

This is a victory banquet, a banquet of pride!

This banquet is a message to everyone in Sunagakure: Sunagakure has not been defeated!

It's just that we didn't win!

Yura didn't get to eat, so he wasn't hungry.

The main point is that the food on the table was rather meager, not even enough for the returning 'heroes'.

Yura's task was to patrol the venue, moving back and forth. This was a task he actively sought out, as he could gather a lot of information through it.

"Ugh~~~ This tastes awful!"

A returning hero spat out a sand cake covered in sand.

Yura turned his head and recognized the man as Daiku, a Chunin who had participated in the battle against Konoha.

He had one arm in a sling, as if he had been wounded in battle.

Thinking back to his treatment in Konoha prison, and looking at the few dishes on the table, Da Jiu couldn't help but complain, "Is this all? It's not even as good as what I ate in the Konoha prison cell."

"Say less!"

The person next to him tugged at his good arm.

“Look at you,” Da Jiu pointed to his cheek, “See? This is how Konoha treats me. I even gained weight in prison! Look at you!”

Da Jiu pointed at the person who was advising him, "Look at the fat on your belly, didn't you get fat while you were in prison?"

"We ate so well in Konoha, and look at how we're being treated now! We're heroes who risked our lives for Sunagakure! Is this how we're being treated?"

This little bit of food, not to mention the taste, isn't even enough to fill our stomachs! One bite of bread, half a mouthful of sand! Ugh~~~

As he spoke, he spat out a mouthful of sand.

"Be careful what you say! Watch out for the Anbu!" warned another elderly middle-aged ninja standing nearby.

"Humph!"

Da Jiu snorted, glanced up at Yura standing next to him, and finally shut his mouth.
