In Konoha, Naruto lies down

There was no way he could release it, so he'd just keep it locked up for now. Naruto didn't have any other ideas for the situation at hand. There were too many thorny issues to deal with, and he had to sort them out one by one.

Wearing the green Chunin vest that symbolizes the weak, Naruto felt as if his presence was weakened a little, and he couldn't help but gasp.

Damn it! Is this why Konoha Chunin has no sense of existence?

He looked up at his familiar friend. Every day, Neji was dressed normally, but Choji wasn't wearing anything because they didn't have his size. Seeing his good brother standing out from the crowd, Naruto felt a little sorry.

So he took off his vest and stood next to Shikamaru, bumping into his tumbler-like body and said.

"Chouji, I'm not wearing clothes either."

Hearing this, Choji was confused.

"I'm dressed."

Naruto: “…”

"I'm talking about the Chuunin's clothes."

"Oh, that, I can't find clothes that big." Choji patted his belly and said, "And if I activate the multiplication technique, my Chunin vest will burst."

As soon as these words were spoken, Naruto's head snapped towards him and began to look him up and down.

Shikamaru felt a little uncomfortable under his disgusting gaze. He took a step back with a chill and said while covering his chest with his chubby hands.

"If you have something to say, just tell your brother. Don't look at me like that."

"I just want to ask if the clothes in your family are heirlooms?" Naruto lowered his voice and asked mysteriously, with an expression that said I won't tell anyone.

Honestly, even he envied the ability to change size at will. But he was also very curious whether Choji's clothes and the Hulk's trouser pockets were purchased from the same store.

"What a mess." Choji was a little embarrassed, but when he saw that everyone around him was familiar, he simply let go of his pride and said, "Just put some chakra into your clothes."

"Oh wow, it's so convenient to be able to grow bigger or smaller." Naruto exclaimed sincerely.

The speaker may not mean it, but the listener may take it seriously. Tiantian, who was waiting on the side, accidentally heard the conversation between the two. Her face suddenly turned red and she lowered her head quietly.

I thought to myself, the conversations between boys are so perverted.

There was still some time before the gathering, and Xiao Li couldn't sit still. While doing push-ups, he overheard the conversation between the two. After standing up, he joined the conversation between Naruto and Choji.

The round eyes looked at the clothes on Choji, then looked at his own green training clothes. Suddenly he became excited and pointed at the clothes on Choji.

"Amazing! It can grow bigger and smaller!"

Tiantian couldn't stand it anymore, so he hit Xiao Li on the head and yelled.

"Xiao Li! Don't say that!"

"Ah! Why?" Xiao Li was caught in the crossfire for no apparent reason, and he had no idea how wonderful it was that age was changing. Simply put, as one grows up, one's mind becomes corrupted.

The mountains don’t look like ordinary mountains, and the water doesn’t look like ordinary water.

Shikamaru had a bitter face. As the leader, he didn't join in the casual conversation. This mission was difficult, the raid was long, and it involved diplomacy.

More importantly, you may encounter unknown dangers on the road. The pressure of leading a team of seven or eight people is extremely great.

Listening to Choji, Naruto and Lee discussing the topic of growing bigger and smaller, a wry smile appeared on his face.

I've run into trouble again, and the problem is that I can't avoid it.

Shikamaru's eyes wandered casually, and suddenly stopped on Naruto's neck for a moment, and he asked.

"Naruto, what's wrong with your neck?"

"It was a mosquito bite." He blurted out instinctively without even thinking.

Those who make up their own stories are mediocre, and Naruto, after being beaten several times, has reached the level where he can tell lies easily. Fortunately, Shikamaru didn't care and just asked casually.

However, Neji glanced at him, and his white eyes made Naruto feel a little uncomfortable.

"Are there mosquitoes at this time of year? It shouldn't be summer yet, right?" Xiao Li asked.

"Mutant mosquitoes. The world is so big, it's normal to have a few different mosquitoes." Naruto casually fooled around and changed the subject.

"Xiao Li, did you get your hair cut?"

"No ah."

Sakura and Tenten were standing together chatting. She glanced at Naruto who was playing around nearby, then lowered her eyes to the ground with a faint smile on her face.

After a while, Ino also ran over panting, finally arriving.

Naruto looked at the pink band-aid on her neck and immediately understood what she had been doing. Tenten, however, looked at Ino with some curiosity and asked.

"Ino, what's wrong with your neck?"

"Oh, I was..." She was about to say that she was bitten by a bug, but her eyes met Naruto's involuntarily. Her sixth sense suddenly told her that something was wrong, so she changed her words and said, "I was accidentally rubbed by a flower."

"Oh, Ino has a hard time too." Tenten sighed.

"Don't sound like an uncle, Tenten." Ino said, holding her forehead.

The three girls were playing together, but Sakura looked thoughtful. She turned her head and glanced at Naruto, but her eyes disappeared immediately.

"Okay, now that everyone is here, let's go!" Shikamaru gave the order.

"Yes!"

After entering the mission mode, everyone put away their relaxed and joking attitude and became serious again. Shikamaru led the way, Neji conducted scouting, and Naruto brought up the rear.

The team's composition is relatively balanced. Sakura is responsible for medical ninjutsu, and Ino also knows some simple medical ninjutsu. The two of them together make up half of a medical team.

In a team of eight, having one and a half medical ninjas is already considered quite abundant.

Neji was in charge of reconnaissance, while Team 3, skilled in long-range and short-range combat, was responsible for raiding. Team 10 possessed secret control ninjutsu, with Naruto in charge of output. Even an ordinary jonin team could be easily dealt with by these few.

The journey was long and monotonous. After several days of travel, the group finally arrived at the Sand Village.

As the wind and sand filled the air, they saw the people who were meeting them at Sunagakure. There were one or two jonin and a few female ninjas, with Temari standing in the middle.

Chapter 268 The person I want to see most, reincarnation under the wind and sand

The Kingdom of Wind is filled with sand and dust, and there are flying sand and rocks everywhere.

In order to prevent sand and dirt from entering their eyes and hair, most ninjas chose to wrap their heads and add curtains on both sides of their cheeks, which was simple and convenient.

Temari is a wind-style ninja, and she is also the princess of Sand Village, so there is no need for this.

But at this moment, Temari looked a little tired, and there was a gloom around her eyes. Seeing the arrival of the Konoha group, she had to force herself to step forward.

"Kyuhou Daijia, everyone in Konoha, did the journey go smoothly?" Temari asked.

"Ah, fortunately nothing unexpected happened." Shikamaru scratched his head, revealing an expression that something was very troublesome. "Anyway, the mission is urgent, take us to see it."

"Ah."

On the way, Temari and Sakura exchanged words, and everything went as expected. Kankuro was seriously injured, and Gaara was kidnapped.

Naruto followed at the end of the group, looking somewhat idle. He had anticipated this outcome. However, Sand Village was too far away, and there was no reason for him to do anything strange to interfere.

Anyway, he doesn't really care about other people's lives. Besides, Gaara still has the resurrection armor.

After thinking about it, I decided to just sit and wait.

Temari walked and talked to Sakura, cold sweat already on her forehead, "Can it be cured?"

"I'm not sure. I'll know after I get there and see what's going on." Sakura was always very serious about work, and she tied her pink hair neatly.

"Anyway, don't worry, I'll do my best."

Sakura looked like a doctor striding towards the operating room, her eyes gleaming with determination and seriousness. Temari's face was pale and she was in a state of panic.

The atmosphere within the Sand Village was extremely oppressive. Only wisps of smoke could be seen from the sandy village, and the streets were deserted. Every household had its doors and windows tightly closed, and there was complete silence.

Walking on the street, a group of people, led by Temari, rushed towards the Sunagakure Hospital.

Choji's chubby body bumped into Naruto and winked at him. However, Naruto couldn't really read the little fat man's pea-sized eyes, so he leaned over and asked in a low voice.

"how?"

"Why does this village feel like someone has died?" Shikamaru deliberately distanced himself from the person in front of him, and the two of them communicated in a lower voice.

"Get rid of the feeling, their village's shadow man is gone." Naruto said calmly, "You'd better be careful with your words, or you won't be dragged out and beaten."

"Is it that serious?" Dingci immediately shut his mouth and laughed dryly, "What you said makes me a little scared."

"Look at how those people in Sand Village look like they've lost their parents, and didn't you just hear what the Sand Village princess said?" Naruto coughed.

"The Fifth Kazekage was severely injured and captured. The Kazekage's brother, Kankuro, is near death and waiting for Sakura to save him. The village is filled with the smell of blood; the bodies must have been collected not long ago."

"Where are they?" Choji looked forward and saw that Shikamaru, Neji and the others had disappeared.

"Let's go first." He didn't look anxious at all, but instead looked at the appearance of Sunagakure leisurely.

"Shouldn't we ask someone for directions before following them?" Choji looked confused. Why did he feel that Naruto was not panicked at all, and even seemed to be holding something bad in his mind?

"Why are you following me? Are you watching Sakura having surgery without anesthesia?" He glanced at Shikamaru and said with a curled lip.

No anesthesia?

Just thinking about that scene made Choji's scalp tingle. Sakura's style really meant that she would do that; it was a chakra ninjutsu after all. If she could press it, she would press it. If it was really dangerous, she would use anesthetic.

"Then... let's wait a little longer."

Naruto was just trying to scare him, so he turned around and started to take Choji for a slow stroll around, not too far away. He just pretended to be lost and looked around.

It was not until the people from the Sand Village Building came out to look for them that the two of them followed them back.

"The operating room is just ahead." The man leading the way bowed and slowly retreated.

Only Naruto and Choji were left in the huge corridor. Outside the window was the silent Sand Village. At the end of the corridor was a khaki door.

"There's something strange about this place." Shikamaru said in a low voice.

"where?"

"People are not united." Shikamaru said bluntly.

"As expected of you, Choji, you can see it at a glance." Naruto opened his mouth with habitual praise, "The pride of the Akimichi clan, the figure of an emperor."

As the guy's praise became more and more outrageous, Shikamaru's chubby face twitched.

"Stop, what use are we making of this information?"

"It's completely useless." He turned around and said.

"It's useless for us to wander around for so long?" Choji was a little speechless. He rolled his eyes and sighed, "Let's go find Shikamaru quickly."

"Don't worry, stay in Sunagakure for a while." Naruto leaned against the wall and said, "We can't help if we go in now, you go in first, I'll get some fresh air at the door."

"This..." Shikamaru hesitated for a moment, then turned and entered the operating room.

Naruto didn't go in, so there was no point in so many people crowding together. Currently, Kankuro was probably the only one who had clues about the Red Sand Scorpion, which was why the situation was so passive.

Even Shikamaru had to wait quietly in the absence of any clues. Everyone placed their hopes on Sakura, waiting for her to rescue Kankuro.

He stood at the window, his gaze moving towards the sky above Sunagakure.

Scorpion of the red sand.

Let me say sorry first, I will stop being a human being.

........

The door to the operating room was pushed open, and the Konoha group was sitting outside waiting. Temari, as a family member, followed the Sand Village medical ninja into the operating room. Sakura was currently operating in the operating room herself.

Shikamaru turned around and saw Choji was stunned for a moment, and asked seriously.

"Where's Naruto?"

"He said it was stuffy inside, so he went outside to get some fresh air." Choji said, but before he finished speaking, he saw Shikamaru's face change immediately and he couldn't help stuttering.

"What...what happened?"

Shikamaru held his forehead and sighed.

"You'll know if you go to the door."

Shikamaru didn't understand what was going on, so he turned around, opened the door and went out. After a while, he came back with a pale face.

"Naruto is missing."

Ino stood up suddenly, completely losing her composure. She looked at Chouji, then turned to look at Shikamaru, and asked in a panic.

"Did he just go to the bathroom?"
