In Konoha, Naruto lies down

Tsunade was furious. It just so happened that all the Jonin had already gone on missions, and the remaining Anbu were understaffed. If the Root organization was not called upon, the only option left was to use the Konoha Genin.

In desperation, Tsunade decided to summon Shikamaru, Neji and Naruto, who had not yet gone on a mission, to the Hokage's office and appointed the dog-headed military strategist Shikamaru to lead the team.

No unnecessary words, just say that we will do everything we can to get the person back.

"Hokage-sama, we still need more manpower." Shikamaru said bluntly, "If it's just the three of us, it's not enough to complete the mission."

"Pick the ninjas who haven't been on a mission yet, and submit the names before you leave." Tsunade said after a moment's silence, "Hurry, and don't let Uchiha Sasuke escape the border of the Land of Fire."

"Yes," Shikamaru replied and hurried away, followed by Neji.

Naruto turned around and tried to leave, but was suddenly stopped by Tsunade.

"Naruto, please stay for a moment."

Hearing this, Naruto stopped and turned to look at Tsunade. Looking at that jade-like face reminded him of the sword on his chest, and his face immediately fell.

"I'm very busy. Please don't give me any other tasks besides chasing Sasuke!!"

Tsunade's face suddenly darkened, the corners of her mouth twitched slightly, she lifted Naruto's collar and spoke fiercely with her face close to his.

"I'm telling you to be careful, little brat!!"

"Give me back that sword!!" Naruto glared back, not showing any weakness. "If you don't, it's hard to say whether I can come back alive."

"What did you say, kid?" Tsunade stretched out her hand and squeezed Naruto's face into a piece of plasticine. "Who do you think you are? Bargaining with the Hokage, do you want to die?"

"It hurts, it hurts!!!" Naruto, who was being ravaged by Tsunade, still spoke with a tough attitude, "I don't have a sword, so Tsunade-sama, please prepare flowers for me."

"Who cares about the life and death of a Genin like you!!" Tsunade became more and more angry. "If you keep being picky, I'll send you back to the ninja school!"

"Well! Do you have anything else to say?"

"You spit on my face," Naruto said.

"Get out!"

With a bang, Naruto was thrown far away by Tsunade, and Kusanagi's sword pierced into his side with a clang.

Seeing the Kusanagi sword in hand, Naruto's expression suddenly changed. He carefully drew out the sword as if he was holding his wife. Then he looked at Tsunade with a serious face, and his posture suddenly straightened up.

"Yes! I'm sure he won't die."

"roll!"

"Yes, Hokage-sama."

Naruto decided to quit while he was ahead, took the equipment that Tsunade had dropped, moistened it, closed the door and ran downstairs.

Upstairs, Tsunade became angrier and angrier as she thought about it, her chest heaving.

He grabbed the chair and threw it down the building. The sound of glass shattering was heard, and there was a scream from downstairs, followed by Naruto's scream.

“Ah!! Who the hell threw something from a high place!!!”

Listening to Naruto's shouting downstairs, Tsunade impatiently leaned half of her body out of the window. Naruto below was immediately silenced when he saw this, and ran away without saying a word.

As soon as Naruto left, Sakura found Tsunade and begged her to join the operation to retrieve Sasuke.

Tsunade narrowed her eyes and flatly refused, citing the fact that medical ninjas were not allowed to participate in high-risk operations. She also told her that she had already arranged for someone to retrieve Sasuke, so she didn't need to worry.

On the other side, Naruto put the Kusanagi sword into the sealed space, prepared some simple equipment, and immediately embarked on a pursuit journey with the team led by Shikamaru.

While rushing through the forest, Naruto suddenly thought of Tayuya and the other three Sound Ninjas. If they ate his ice cream and dared to attack him, he would beat them up if he caught them.

Chapter 95 Ah, No, I Didn’t

"Sasuke is so proud that even the genius of the Hyuga clan is here."

Naruto muttered as they rushed.

"Heh." Neji glanced at him coldly and said nothing.

Naruto gave up during the Chunin Exam and did not fight with the Twelve Young Warriors, but it was no secret that Team 7 defeated the Sand Village Jinchuriki.

"Naruto, stop talking too much." Inuzuka Kiba grinned and added fuel to the fire with ill intentions, "You can't beat him anyway."

"Yes, yes, you're the one who stole Akamaru's dog food." Naruto agreed and continued to attack, "You have probably lost the ability to communicate with humans, right?"

"Maybe Akamaru will be married, and you're still a single loser."

"Damn it! Do you want to fight?" Inuzuka Kiba's defense was broken.

"Naruto, stop talking. We are all companions." Choji narrowed his eyes, smiled, and turned his head back to smooth things over.

"it is good."

"Why do you listen to Choji so much? Damn it!"

"Chouji eats potato chips and barbecue, but not dog food." Naruto snorted, looked at Inuzuka Kiba with disdain, and said silently. "Damn it."

"Can we eat dog food?" Xiao Li asked curiously at the back of the team.

"Alright, alright, stop arguing." Captain Shikamaru said with a pair of dead fish eyes, a little headache, "The mission is important. If we fail, we might get scolded when we get back."

"The existing clues don't indicate that Sasuke was kidnapped. Sasuke might be a bad guy..."

Shikamaru's eyes became serious, he glanced at Naruto beside him, and spoke carefully in the silence of everyone.

"It's defection."

"That kind of thing has little to do with us." Naruto was the first to speak and break the silence, "Just bring Sasuke back, and as for other things, we don't have to worry about it."

No one spoke, even the most active Inuzuka Kiba fell silent.

Although they are noisy, they have deep feelings for their teammates. If they ask themselves honestly, they will definitely not be able to bear it if their teammates defected.

Naruto took it all in, feeling absolutely nothing.

He recognized the camaraderie of companionship; humans were emotional and social creatures. But when it came to the interests of the village, that had nothing to do with him. It wasn't that he despised the village, but Konoha wasn't worth his life.

Normal efforts are acceptable, but risking one's life is not. He doesn't want to be a so-called savior.

It was as if, if the village had not given him an umbrella, he would simply run naked in the rain in the village, happy to disgust others.

In his mind, the village is like a large gaming guild: if he joins the guild and contributes benefits or labor, the village should return him corresponding resources.

Perhaps because he was obsessed with becoming a regular employee when he traveled through time, Naruto always had the resentment of a worker. More importantly, he didn't need the resources provided by the village, the system was enough.

In other words, he was just an ordinary ninja enjoying the conveniences brought by the village. Apart from completing missions and defending the village, he would not do anything else.

Unless, there are enough benefits.

On this basis, Naruto clarified his responsibilities and obligations: treat his companions sincerely, enjoy life, be friendly to others, and be a pure good person.

After a few seconds of silence, Naruto spoke again.

"Actually, I'm very sad that Sasuke would do such a thing! I must bring Sasuke back."

This time, the password is correct.

Shikamaru, Choji, and Lee all offered words of comfort, automatically ignoring Naruto's previous outrageous statement, thinking he was just feigning composure. In reality, Naruto must have been in great pain.

In fact, in Naruto's mind, Sasuke is just a tsundere colleague. It's a bit embarrassing to say that he traveled through time late and didn't have such a deep bond with Sasuke.

"I'm fine." Naruto said the truth in his heart.

Seeing this, Shikamaru and Choji stopped talking and just continued on their way.

About half a day later.

Neji was the first to spot the target, opening his Byakugan and accurately locating the enemy. The Hyuga clan's ninjas were popular for a reason; their advantage in pursuit was clear.

"Four people, one sealed barrel. Sasuke should be in the barrel."

"Don't act rashly. Follow my instructions." Shikamaru thought for a moment, "I'll control those people. Naruto, Rock Lee, Choji, and Neji will each keep an eye on one person. Kiba will be quick and responsible for grabbing Sasuke."

"Try to injure them severely, and then we will retreat."

The plan was clear to everyone, and with the exception of Inuzuka Kiba, the four of them each picked an opponent. Neji chose Kidomaru, considering his absolute defensive advantage, while Choji chose the stout Jirobo, considering his size.

In the end, only Sakon, Ukon and Tayuya were left for Lee and Naruto. Naruto spoke to Lee earnestly.

"You choose first."

Lee chose Sakon and Ukon without hesitation, and Naruto sighed and reluctantly chose Tayuya.

"At least leave me one who can fight!" he pretended to complain.

"It's okay, just let me do it this time. I don't want to fight a female ninja." Xiao Li comforted Naruto and said seriously, "I'll treat you to ramen when we get back."

"Okay!" Naruto agreed without missing a single meal.

He had gotten a Flying Thunder God option from Xiao Li last time, and he'd always remembered it. Xiao Li could treat him to ramen or dried radish.

Hearing this, Xiao Li turned around and gave Naruto a thumbs up, revealing a row of straight white teeth.

"Alright, that's enough." Shikamaru was disgusted by the interaction of the two people's burning youth and interrupted, "Get closer, I will attack immediately after I succeed!"

"Understood." Everyone responded.

......

Shadow Binding Technique!

Shikamaru's ninjutsu suddenly activated, and a narrow, elongated shadow moved along the tree trunk. Just as it was about to reach the four people's feet, Kimimaro, looking pale, dropped from the sky.

With a loud bang, the ground was shattered.

The slender shadow was affected and immediately lost its power. Shikamaru and the others were forced to dodge, allowing the wave to destroy the ground, leaving a long mound of earth.

A large area of ​​dense smoke and dust spread in all directions, and everyone except Neji lost their vision instantly.

"Back off!" Neji roared out the most concise instructions.

Shikamaru and the others didn't dare to delay and suddenly jumped back. With their vision obscured by the smoke and dust, Neji's judgment was completely reasonable.

Naruto does have a wind-style ninjutsu, but it's a wind blade. If it was a large-scale wind-style ninjutsu like Temari's... maybe he would have just used a fan to defeat it.

The six people from Konoha quickly jumped out of the smoke and dust circle. When the smoke and dust dissipated, only Kimimaro was left there, watching them indifferently.

"Damn it! We can't let them get away like this!" Shikamaru shouted, "I'll stay, Naruto, you guys go chase them..."

Chapter 96 He said, I am a good boy (please read)

Before Shikamaru could finish his words, Naruto pulled out a long sword from somewhere and jumped directly in front of Kimimaro, speaking in a serious tone that he had never used before.

"I'll stop that guy, you guys go chase him."

"Naruto, you..."

"It's okay, I'll be there in a minute." Naruto interrupted directly, "You guys go now."

Kimimaro's face was expressionless, and without the slightest hesitation, he directly activated the first curse seal with a single stroke of his hand. His entire body was covered in bones, like a demon crawling out of hell.

While Shikamaru's face was filled with horror, he also knew in his heart that if he didn't leave now, it would be too late.

"Let's go!" Shikamaru led the way.

The other four followed, quickly leaping away in four curved paths. Logically speaking, no matter how formidable Kimimaro was, he couldn't stop four people in front of Naruto at once.

This is also the knowledge that has long been taught in ninja schools, escaping from the track during battle.

Corpse Veins·Dance of Chun

Kimimaro's speed suddenly increased, and bone swords suddenly appeared on his arms, rushing towards the five people who were about to escape. Naruto didn't indulge him either. With a clap of his hands, he directly activated the ninjutsu Kongo Blockade with the system.

Thick golden chains rose from the ground, blocking every direction Kimimaro was pursuing. Like vines with eyes, they continuously locked onto Kimimaro.

This sealing technique was originally used to lock up the Nine-Tailed Fox, so using it against Kimimaro is a complete waste of talent.

"What was that just now?" Choji and his four companions successfully escaped from Kimimaro, but they were still frightened. "Will Naruto be in danger?"

"Who knows." Inuzuka Kiba's face became even more solemn. "It must have been that guy Naruto who did it. Instead of worrying about him, why not worry about us?"

The five of them chased in the direction the Sound Four had left, and Shikamaru said through gritted teeth.

"That guy Naruto should be able to handle it. Speed ​​up and we must keep Sasuke!"

the other side.

Trapped in the Vajra blockade, Kimimaro realized that he might not be able to break free from the chains. After a brief thought, he suddenly entered the second state of the curse seal and activated the Corpse Vein: Dance of the Early Ferns.

Dense masses of bones began to grow from the ground, their number apparently even greater than the chains of the diamond blockade. Almost instantly, the once dense forest was covered with spiky white bones, like a forest of bones.
