In Konoha, Naruto lies down

The fat man was finally carried out, still breathing. The stretcher was suddenly pushed down, and the green body, like a body bag, creaked and twisted out.

He was looking at the mission scroll nervously under the tree, when he suddenly saw Naruto coming over. He was immediately frightened and his face turned pale.

"What are you doing?"

"Just take a look." He said with a smile.

Seeing this, he walked away from the tree and huddled with Noma, saying that the man was probably a fool who could still laugh even though he was about to die.

Of course he could laugh. He had the files and the sleep. Once this mission was completed, Bei Yan's identity would either disappear completely or he could escape.

Either Beiyan goes back alive, but his abnormal behavior will definitely be noticed, and he will die if he goes back.

Before releasing him, explain the pros and cons to him and let him make his own choice. If Beiyan had a little bit of brains, he would have known where to escape and become a wandering ninja.

However, the strength of wandering ninjas these days varies greatly, with most being no better than beggars. They cower when faced with a strong opponent, but quickly draw their swords when faced with a weak one.

The second floor of the Hokage Building was in chaos for a while, but it was finally arranged.

Yamashiro Nobi was always one step ahead of Naruto, never even glancing at him. He also read the mission scroll in his hand, which required him to rush to the front lines and intercept the Sunagakure's rear supply lines.

With just a few words, dozens of cannon fodder squads were mobilized, one-third of them at the level of Genin. Only when they actually went to the battlefield did they realize the danger of the mission.

The Sunagakure's rear is not empty. There are frictions on both sides of the front line, but no fighting has yet taken place. The Fire Nation suffered a setback at Sunagakure some time ago, and now they are probably preparing to retaliate.

Whether the mission would succeed was uncertain, but as long as there was movement in the rear of the Sand Village, fighting would break out on the front line. If both sides succeeded, it would be a decisive battle.

If the mission failed, it would buy time for the front line. Once the Sand Village people made a move, the situation instantly became lively, with leaks everywhere.

"Hey, the missions on the front line should be done by the Root group, right?" Shuxia lowered his voice and spoke to Noma, falling behind Naruto.

Nobi Yamashiro was the only one in the front, clutching the quest scroll, while Naruto was hanging in the middle, walking slowly. Two people followed behind, talking anxiously.

As we were about to leave the village, we suddenly saw a commotion ahead.

Naruto thought about what he had just heard about the Root, and wondered if he should trip up Danzo. Although killing Danzo would definitely affect the timeline, tripping him up should be no problem.

Uh...or why not just take advantage of the fact that this body's biological father is about to become Hokage and enact the Konoha system that allows polygamy under certain circumstances. After all, the power of the Hokage is unlimited.

Even if it's not infinite now, if I set my mind to it, I can still make it infinite. But first I have to deal with the Sandaime, and the Uchiha...

After thinking about it, I decided it was too much trouble. It was not necessary to fight the entire heaven for a peach.

"Who is that?"

"Why does it look like Nohara Nao!"

Noma's words brought Naruto back to his senses. What was she doing here at this time? He walked forward quickly, and when he passed Yamashiro Nobi, he saw that his face was a little dark.

"Make way." He was not idle either, and directly pushed away Yamashiro Nobita.

He always felt that Yamashiro Nobi's last look at him was filled with complicated emotions, like a piece of wire tied into a knot, framed and hung in a museum.

The front gate of Konoha was in tatters, and I don't know how many times it had been trampled on. Sometimes the closest the Sand Village fought was to rush directly into the heart of the Land of Fire.

I heard that Konoha was in danger at that time, but the Third Hokage came out with his men and rushed in that direction, and the situation was resolved immediately.

The Sarutobi clan has over 3,000 members, making them no small clan. Otherwise, with so many people in Konoha, Sarutobi Hiruzen was able to take over the position of Hokage from the Nidaime.

The Shimura clan had a number of men, but they were still inferior to the Sarutobi clan. Back then, during the war, the Kage of every village had fallen, and being a Kage wasn't exactly a peaceful and happy job.

There are so many families in the village, and everyone took off their clothes to show off their muscles. This brother is noble, that brother is noble, and the tallest one among the short ones will be the leader.

Sarutobi Hiruzen is the brother with the most developed muscles. As soon as he takes off his clothes, you can tell who is the boss. He always thinks that he is invincible under the second generation and he is invincible under the second generation.

The Second Hokage was passing on the throne in a critical moment, so of course Sarutobi Hiruzen had no room to be timid. After all, he was the Second Hokage's top fighter, so how could he be timid when he heard that he was going to die?

Following the second generation to cover the retreat of teammates, wow, if he survives this kind of thing, he will be the next generation Hokage. If he dies, his tombstone will be ranked before that of his ancestors in the cemetery of the Sarutobi clan.

If you say Danzo could never defeat the Sandaime, then he's not as smart as the Sandaime. Otherwise, he wouldn't have proposed that the Will of Fire be passed down to three generations, and that the village spirits could be passed down to the next three generations after a person dies.

Although Naruto didn't like the old man Sandaime very much, the fact is that he was awesome. On the other hand, dealing with Danzo was much easier. He was dark and solitary when he was alive.

When did they betray him, wiping out half his life's work? Killing someone and destroying their heart, just wipe out his existence. In a dozen years, no one will even remember he existed.

For Danzo, who always wanted to be famous for generations, this was the most painful thing.

The crowd stood there, refusing to move forward. They were all talking and watching, some whistling, as if they had never seen a woman before.

Nao Nohara was standing on a higher platform at the entrance of the village. On it lay a huge old tree, like a small park, which provided shade and provided shade in the summer.

There used to be some shelves on top, with some words written on them: "Pay attention to hygiene." The village was too big and too chaotic, with fights and deaths from starvation, making it easy for diseases to breed.

She stood there, her dark skirt billowing in the wind, a sign of farewell. Her pale hands lifted the stray hair from her ears, leaning forward to look down.

The clamoring crowd stopped, which made her a little panicked. She took two steps back, holding onto the railing and bravely searching for something.

People of this era are very distinctive, restless and passionate. However, the long-term war and oppressive atmosphere have made many people feel inferior or have distorted personalities.

There are very few people like Yong Daimei who are open about flirting with girls. Most people are very reserved. They clearly want to be in a relationship but are afraid to speak out.

I just watched the girl being carried away, and cursed her in private when I couldn't get her. I felt so lost as if I had also been heartbroken.

When Nao Nohara bravely glanced down, the group of people who had just been making a fuss immediately became timid again, cursing in low voices which bastard was taking advantage of the beauty.

"Give it!"

"Why are you pushing so hard? Are you looking for death?"

"Ah!! Who hit me?"

"Don't look at me, it's not me!"

Before leaving, Naruto has always been low-key but he is not a shy person. There is no such thing as feeling guilty and not daring to meet. If he dares to draw his sword, he is a scumbag.

Once you start, there's no going back.

There is absolutely no such idea as "I have to take responsibility after sleeping with you" or "I will stay here and not go back". We are all children of the underworld, who would believe such words? Isn't it hypocritical?

There is a saying that goes, either be completely devoted or be ruthless to the end.

"Sorry, please make way." Naruto was patiently pushing through the crowd from the back of the team, and Nao Nohara naturally saw him.

In her eyes, Naruto was struggling to get to her through the crowd. In fact, that person had no manners at all, kicking several people along the way and forcing his way through.

"Why are you pushing? What does it have to do with you? I'm not looking for you!" The ninja in front was getting impatient from being squeezed by the people behind him and shouted back.

"Who's blind? The stick is about to poke me in the gut!"

There was a mess ahead, but Naruto finally reached the front, leaping onto the stairs and reaching the higher ground. Amidst a burst of exclamations, he immediately hugged Nohara Nao.

"Who is that kid? Damn it!"

The scene became even more chaotic. Someone threw a kunai, and Naruto unscrupulously reached out to Nao Nohara's waist and kissed her in front of everyone.

Kunai rustled through the wind, and Naruto pulled Nohara Nao, whose heart was pounding, into hiding. No one knew him anyway, so he could just act cool and then run away. It was really exciting.

No one really knew the ninja who suddenly appeared and picked peaches. He looked plain from the side and his clothes were dingy. The more I thought about it, the angrier I got. I wished I could kill that guy.

The three members of Class C17 knew Naruto and knew that Beiyan was their teammate. They were stunned when they saw the ordinary Beiyan licking Nohara Nao away like this.

Yamashiro Nobi didn't react much, but his expression didn't look good.

"Let's go." He said expressionlessly, tightening the ninja tool bag around his waist.

On the other side, Naruto pulled Nohara Nao aside and asked casually.

"Aren't you at Konoha Hospital? Why are you here?"

"I was worried and bored, so I came to see you." Nao Nohara was in a daze, as if she was infatuated with love.

Although she was a little confused, and her brain hadn't been working much lately, the Nohara Nao who used to handle things with ease was gone, and seemed very distant.

Naruto opened the door to her heart, both physically and psychologically. He has many ways to coax people and is patient enough to take good care of them.

This contrast was something she had never experienced before. It was so intense, she had no time to process it. She was completely lost in thought, her mind clouded as she looked up at him and smiled.

It is hard to repay the favor of a beautiful woman. Naruto looked at Nohara Nao's silly smiling face, pinched it, and lied without blushing or beating his heart.

"I will return."

"Is the mission dangerous?" she asked. Before he could answer, she added, "Take me with you. I'm also very strong and good at medical ninjutsu."

"No need, just stay in the medical team." Naruto tidied her long hair that was blown by the wind, his eyes full of affection. In fact, he looked at everything with affection.

This happens when you're talking absentmindedly, your brain slowly becomes empty and your eyes lose focus.

"Yeah, I'll be back." After comforting Nao Nohara, he touched her before leaving, and was patted by Nao Nohara with a red face.

He turned around and jumped into the crowd in two or three steps and disappeared.

Beiyan will indeed come back, probably in the form of a corpse. He didn't say Naruto would come back, and the outcome was hard to predict, but he just didn't say anything out of habit.

Chapter 356 Namikaze Minato: I Saw a Ghost

Watching Naruto's figure disappear in the distance like ripples, Nao Nohara frowned, feeling depressed and unable to breathe. She always felt like she had lost something important.

Naruto was still in the group. As they left Konoha Forest, hundreds of people followed their respective squads. No one knew the others' specific routes, supposedly to prevent information leaks.

In fact, they were just worried that someone would slip away midway. There weren't many Chunin with a solid foundation. Some were lucky enough to have survived the previous mission and were recruited again.

Knowing their own limitations and feeling they couldn't get their lives paid back, they might just decide to flee en masse. If their plans were exposed, they would suffer huge losses.

Yamashiro Nobi didn't want to talk to him, and since what happened just now, Shuxia and Noma also didn't talk to Naruto. A sadly thick barrier had been built between them, and they were no longer on the same path.

There was nothing I could do. The whole team was newbies, and he was the only one who was being shameless. He should have just kept quiet, but he acted like he had gotten something for nothing.

From time to time, he would run over to chat with Yamashiro Nobi, saying a few words here and there. Yamashiro Nobi was annoyed by him and didn't respond at all, but he still couldn't prevent this show-off from running over to provoke him.

The four of them crossed the mountains and trekked around the edge of the Fire Nation forest. The scenery along the way was unremarkable; it was all old. They probably thought a war would flatten the place.

The four of them followed the winding route for about three days, starting from the front lines of Konoha and circling all the way to the rear of Sand Village.

This is the Land of Rivers. Sunagakure directly moved the front line to the Land of Rivers, right at the border with the Land of Fire, and used force to constantly test the other side's bottom line.

This is a game of testing each other's underwear to see how strong the other person is.

A little to the north of this place is the Rain Country, which is attacked from both sides by the Wind Country and the Fire Country. The ninja power is not formed, and can only let the Sand Village make decisions.

The long journey made the four of them silent.

During the breaks, Yamashiro Nobi never paid any attention to Naruto, but Naruto didn't mind. For them, getting close to the rear of the Sand Village was suicide, but for him, it was freedom.

What is hell to others is blessing to others.

Just as Naruto was leaning against a rock and resting his eyes leisurely, Yamashiro Nobita suddenly spoke up and said something.

"Yellow Flash also participated in this mission."

"what?"

The three people, including Naruto, were shocked and looked up at Yamashiro Nobi. This person was always silent and basically said nothing except what was necessary.

The mission was about to begin, and the people were already in the rear. He was afraid that he could not delay any longer, so he suddenly opened his mouth and told them the truth.

"Nobi! Is that adult here too?" He stood up directly from under the tree, looking excited, as if he had put life and death aside, with an extremely happy look in his eyes.

"That's great! If that adult were here, our mission this time wouldn't be to die!" Noma clenched his fists and was about to cry.

Naruto was a bit stunned, looking at the two people, and suddenly he vaguely understood something. Namikaze Minato, the cheap dad of the original body.

Apart from the flattering words such as genius and Hokage, after losing all the halo, Minato Namikaze is left with only strong strength.

In the eyes of these civilian ninjas who have no power and no background, doing the same mission as Minato Namikaze is equivalent to picking up a card that increases the chance of survival.

To put it more intuitively, Namikaze Minato is almost the god of civilian ninjas.

Shuxia and Noma were extremely excited, feeling fortunate that their chances of survival had greatly increased. However, Naruto was somewhat dumbfounded by the mixed feelings.

If Beiyan survived, wouldn't he become a clown?

He didn't dwell on it for too long, though. Their chances of survival were reasonable, but not infinite. Namikaze Minato was indeed a god, but he couldn't do everything in his power.

After some thought, Naruto continued to act according to his plan.

Another day passed, and the group had already approached the rear of Sand Village. There was a strict guard force here, and it looked densely packed at first glance.

The four of them stood hidden in a forest and did not dare to act rashly.

"Wait for news." Yamashiro Nobi said in a low voice.

They were waiting for the order to launch the general attack, with only about a hundred people participating in it. But secretly, Root ninjas and Anbu ninjas had already infiltrated the rear of Sand Village.

Those more than one hundred people were just peripheral auxiliary forces, attracting firepower to delay time.

The overall commander of the operation was Minato Namikaze, and the captain of the Root coordinated the command. No one else could command the Root members to fight. Wow, his status was immediately highlighted.
