In Konoha, Naruto lies down

"I was about to get a permanent job, and my boss was about to get a new sister-in-law and a new car, and suddenly I came to this world. What a lousy place, what a lousy identity."

Only when the mind is clear can one achieve victory. Naruto knows all this too well. The reason why people suffer is because their beliefs are not pure enough. He is very pure.

If you're going for excitement, then go all the way. Getting halfway in is not what a real man does.

The next day.

He had originally planned to go find Lee to reminisce about the past. Whenever Naruto had time, he would keep an eye on news from his old friends and visit them when he learned they were free.

Friendships are always carefully maintained, even in adulthood when interests are tied together. But it still requires time and emotion, and Xiao Li is an exception.

There is no interest between the two of them. Xiao Li is just a pure martial arts fanatic.

So the two of them got along better, with Naruto simply standing in the shade and watching him train, then offering all sorts of inhumane training suggestions.

"Why not do a handstand long jump? Maybe it will be more effective." Naruto rubbed his chin and said to Rock Lee in training ground No. 5.

"That makes sense. I'll try it."

Thick-browed Xiao Li suddenly realized what was going on and immediately flipped over and stood upside down, supporting himself with one hand and preparing to use the power of one hand to make a long jump. He actually did it, and Naruto couldn't help but stare in amazement.

People really cannot be compared. You have to know that Xiao Li didn't use chakra at all. How can we reason with this?

The sun is scorching in the blue sky, and the shade of the trees is cool.

"Nine hundred and ninety-six, nine hundred and ninety-seven......" Xiao Li was training under the scorching sun, while Naruto squatted in the shade, squinting his eyes and watching the green figure moving little by little on the training ground.

"What should I eat later?" Naruto took out a comic book from Tsunade from the sealed space, thinking about something that everyone would be thinking about.

What to eat for lunch.

Just as he was lost in thought, he suddenly saw a figure passing by. The familiar fragrance lingered, and he couldn't help but put down the Huang Man in his hand and looked up.

"day by day?"

"Why are you here?" Naruto didn't even bother to hide, he just held the comic book in his hand, nothing to show.

Tiantian wore a bun tied with a red silk string and a traditional hanbok. Her skin was fair and smooth, but her chest was bulging and she looked worried.

"I'm here to look for Xiao Li. I don't know what happened to Neji recently. I haven't seen him for a long time."

"Um, are you looking for Rock Lee or Neji?" Naruto simply stood up, a head taller than Tenten, scratched his head and pointed towards training ground No. 5.

"Little Lee is right there, and Neji should still be at the Hyuga base."

"Um..." Tiantian turned around a little embarrassedly, "I'm looking for Xiao Li."

After saying that, she ran away. Naruto looked at the dazzling sunlight in the distance and couldn't help but squint his eyes. It was natural for her to like Neji every day.

However, Neji seems to have little time to think about marriage, and...the Hyuga family is basically domestic, and the clan leader's wife is specifically a Hyuga clan member.

This is to ensure the purity of the Hyuga clan's bloodline. Given Neji's personality, if he really became the clan leader, he probably wouldn't refuse such a thing.

Tsk tsk, Naruto stared at Tenten's running away and shook his head, thinking that this was another clichéd story of unrequited love.

Tenten happened to be there, so Naruto decided to invite her along for lunch. It wasn't for anything else, but simply because Tenten was a wealthy woman and she wouldn't let him pay the bill.

Alas, life is not easy, the poor sigh.

He invested all his money in the Intelligence Department, but the return on investment curve was very long, and Naruto believed that he would not see any returns within ten years.

Now, he only had the one million taels that Mao Yue Xi Yan gave him. During this period, he also spent a lot of money to purchase supplies and store them in the sealed space, and his money was suddenly reduced by two-thirds.

The remaining 300,000 taels were not enough to spend, and Naruto's rent alone was enough to make him drink a pot. His house was quite big, but he had never bought it before.

The rent was a bit expensive, but fortunately it wasn't monthly. He didn't mind it. Even if he ran out of money, he had no intention of buying a house in Konoha. He would just rent it.

Even though Nagato was currently an ally and wouldn't suddenly go crazy and launch a Shinra expedition, he really didn't need the property. It had nothing to do with whether he had money or not, it was just an attitude.

Konoha wasn't his dream town, nor was it his home. It didn't really matter where he lived; it was just a place to stay.

"It looks like something happened to Hinata," Tenten said as she sat down after returning from paying the bill.

"Well, the branch family will probably be abolished." Naruto never hesitated to speak to his financial sponsor, and he told them everything he knew. "The branch family's caged bird has been released. There is no difference between the main family and the branch family anymore."

"How could... this happen?" Tenten seemed a little surprised. "What about Neji?"

"It's also been solved." Naruto didn't want to explain it in too much detail, as it would be detrimental to Neji's image among his companions. He himself didn't care, as everyone knew that he was narrow-minded and scheming.

The Uzumaki clan’s motto can be changed: The Uzumaki clan will avenge any grudge.

"That's great. Neji has always been brooding over that mark." Lee is a straightforward person and is really happy for Neji.

Tiantian was obviously thinking more, his brows slightly furrowed, and no one knew what he was thinking.

"Yeah, it's really good." Naruto had already picked up his chopsticks and gobbled the food as if he hadn't eaten before. "But... I'm afraid the Hyuga clan will have to reshuffle."

"So Neji is very busy now? Now that he has freed himself from the...caged bird, shouldn't he be training?" she asked tentatively.

Based on Tenten's understanding of Neji, he once said that if he had the opportunity to free the bird from the cage, he would definitely work hard to surpass everyone in the history of the main family and prove that the branch family could also be much stronger than the main family.

However, this was Neji's wish when he was young, and now Neji's mood has long changed.

"Practice?" Naruto looked up from his bowl, a look of surprise on his face. "Why does a caged bird need to practice? Is there any special meaning?"

Tenten repeated what Neji had said before, and Naruto was immediately embarrassed. Neji is really a middle school student. I should have recorded it with a video recorder earlier.

Surprised? Dark history is all in high-definition infantry version.

During this era, a large number of movies were produced, and VCRs were naturally not uncommon. However, ninjas dominated the discourse of war, and generally ninjas would not touch such electronic products.

But now... times have changed. The communicator developed by Ino has become a popular gadget in Konoha. Tenten also has a pink communicator in her hand, which is currently placed on the table.

"Then why don't you just ask Neji directly?" Naruto pointed to the pink communicator on the table.

"Ningji doesn't use this thing. Are all Hyuga people old-fashioned?" Tenten was immediately discouraged, supporting her head with her hands and looking frustrated.

Not all Hyuga people are old-fashioned. For example, Hinata uses a communicator, and I even bought a new one specifically to contact her.

Each person has one communicator, it's so funny, there's no chance of losing money.

It is precisely because of this that he is now shamelessly eating for free. Every day, rich women compete with each other, and it would be best if they could pay the bill a few more times so that he can eat for free in a decent manner.

"Does Xiao Li have a communicator?" Naruto suddenly thought and turned to look at Xiao Li.

Thick-browed Xiao Li looked confused, looked at Naruto and then at Tian Tian, ​​scratching his head and asked.

"What's a communicator?"

The rich woman couldn't stand it anymore, so she took out a scroll and produced a new black communicator and handed it to Xiao Li.

"I'll give you one, take it."

Xiao Li was stunned to receive a gift from the wealthy woman. Scratching his head, he thought that given their relationship, there was no point in refusing, so he simply accepted it.

Chapter 389 The Whirlpool Clan, Revenge

Naruto, who was eating at the side, was so shocked that his eyelids jumped. Wow, that thing should be prepared for Neji. But it is not ruled out that the rich woman has a lot of money and may have bought a lot of it.

Tiantian has always taken good care of Xiao Li. After all, Xiao Li is a martial arts fanatic. Apart from practicing, he doesn't care about many things in life and is unwilling to spend time on them.

The rich woman is just a housekeeper in Team 3, the teacher is insane, and the teammates are also outrageous. Neji is the only normal person, so it's normal to have some dependence on him.

As for the temporary worker Naruto... let's not mention him.

"Naruto, you should have it, right?" she asked. After all, it was Ino who developed this thing.

“Um…yes.”

Naruto actually wanted to say no, but that during these special times, it was nice to be able to take advantage. After all, it was a gift from a wealthy woman, but explaining it was too much trouble, so he gave up.

After lunch, the three of them parted ways.

This was just a daily dinner to keep in touch with each other. Although Naruto liked to lie down, he was not stingy in spending time with his friends. His efforts would eventually be rewarded.

Friendship is only effective if it is constantly maintained and will not be washed away by time.

After returning home, Naruto rested on the sofa for a while, but he didn't see the Nine-Tails. So after washing up, he chatted with Hinata for a while using the communicator that was exclusive to him.

It's worth mentioning that he had tricked his sister-in-law, Hinata Hanabi, into buying this communicator, for which he paid ten times the price, and it hurt him deeply.

Even if you pull up Hinata's call log in the background, you can only see the deep sisterly love. As for why they use a communicator when they live together, it's probably because they're lazy.

After all, with this thing, parents are not willing to yell at their unfilial children to finish school and eat.

After chatting with Hinata for a while, Naruto went out and dove into the shade of the trees before the afternoon sun faded. He walked out of the village along Konoha Street without having to report.

This is a privilege he has earned. After all, there is no second-generation in Konoha with stronger connections than him. He is strong in every aspect.

After leaving the village, he first wandered around the Konoha Forest, but found no special traces. However, he did not lose his patience and continued to search for Uchiha Sasuke.

The second pillar is probably here for revenge, and it is unknown whether Uchiha Itachi sacrificed himself. This pair of stupid and unnatural brothers is also a perfect match, each one more crazy than the other.

Even if Fujimoto came, he would have to call Sasuke brother.

"Where are you, Nizhuzi? Now that you're here, you have to show up. I have some good news to tell you, damn it." Naruto muttered as he continued to sneak.

Time passed quickly and it was night, with the moon rising above the branches.

Naruto was tirelessly searching for a man. The last time he was so serious was in the Land of Snow. But now, he was anxious to find the honest and upright Nizhuzi.

He was eager to kill Danzo before leaving, preferably with Sasuke. Only a dead Danzo was a good Danzo, and the old man had to drop some gold coins.

........

"Is Shuiyue back?"

A deep voice echoed from the depths of the jungle. The owner of the voice seemed to be very young. The tone was a little cold and serious, but it couldn't hide the faint charm.

Accompanied by a rustling sound, a woman's voice answered.

"almost."

After a while, a figure approached from afar. When it came back, it ran directly into the bushes and was stunned when it saw the scene inside.

"Karin, why are you taking off your clothes? You're such a slut!"

"Get lost!" Xianglin's angry voice echoed in the darkness, followed by a rustling sound. "Why didn't you die on the road?"

Even though her plan to seduce Sasuke failed, Karin was not discouraged. After all, it wasn't the first time she failed. After putting on her clothes, Karin didn't forget to glare at Suigetsu fiercely.

Shuiyue has short white hair that reaches her ears, a row of teeth as sharp as steel clamps, and a wicked smile on her face.

"The Konoha gang is still too weak. How could they possibly discover my whereabouts? I can just find a random hole to hide in, and no one will notice my presence."

Karin knew Suigetsu's ability was liquefaction, a bloodline limit that allowed the entire body to turn into water. To her, such extravagance was a form of illness.

Except for her Sasuke, of course.

At this moment, a hint of impatience flashed in Sasuke's ink-black eyes.

"Enough, stop arguing. Did Suigetsu find out? Why can the Nine-Tails appear alone? Is Naruto, the Jinchūriki, already dead?"

"I found out. Uzumaki Naruto is alive and well." Suigetsu said with a grin, his mouth full of sharp teeth. "But I heard that the Nine-Tails has disappeared for a long time. Uzumaki Naruto is no longer a Jinchūriki."

"Explain clearly." Uchiha Sasuke was a little annoyed.

He had just killed his own brother, Uchiha Itachi, who was also his greatest enemy. He had been traveling the world for years, seeking revenge.

I thought that if I killed him, the matter would be over.

But everything that happened later was beyond his expectations. Uchiha Itachi was just a knife. I hope he can accept the hatred of the family and accept his eyes.

His eyes were infused with pupil power by Uchiha Itachi, and damn it was him who accepted this hatred.

Revenge brought him endless pain. Uchiha Itachi died in his hands, but he gave up his life as easily as giving up a piece of candy.

This made Sasuke very angry, like a punch on cotton.

Then, a masked man suddenly appeared, claiming to be the long-dead Uchiha Madara. He spoke a lot, revealing the ugly truth of Konoha.

After a lot of verification, it was proven that Danzo was indeed related to the night of genocide. That's why he came to Konoha, ready to kill Danzo and ask the truth of that year.

But now it seems that the mission failed, as he had inexplicably run into a wild Nine-Tails. Because they were near Konoha, Sasuke didn't dare to do anything.

The result was that I had been huddled here for a few days without making any progress. I felt like a savage, suffering silently in this jungle.

"What's the news about Danzo?" he asked.

"Well..." Suigetsu smiled, "A lot has happened in Konoha recently. The Root organization has been eradicated by the Fifth Hokage, and Danzo and a group of Konoha's high-ranking officials have abdicated."

"Abdicated?" Sasuke frowned. He had rushed here in such a hurry, but he didn't expect such a thing to happen. "Then where is Danzo now?"

"Probably somewhere in the village. Konoha is not easy to infiltrate, and there are Anbu watching everywhere." Suigetsu shrugged and said indifferently.

"If we really want to investigate, I'm afraid it will take some time."
