Endless Journey from Naruto

tread!

Even if Toad Stone walked slowly, when the sun completely set, Naruto and his party still reached Konoha.

At the Konoha gate.

Bang!

Toad Stone put the cage on the ground with his tongue.

"Naruto-kun, I have already arrived at Konoha, so I will go back first."

Toad Stone said to Naruto.

"Okay, thank you for your hard work, Toad Stone. Goodbye."

Naruto waved his hand at Toad Stone.

"Where, goodbye."

boom!

After Hamashi finished speaking, he returned to Mount Miaomu.

"That's Jiraiya-sama's psychic toad? Naruto, I didn't expect you to sign a contract with them too."

A sound came.

Naruto looked at the person, it was Shikamaru's father - Shikahisa Nara.

As early as when Naruto summoned Toad Stone to bring Gaara and the three back, he found Sasuke and Shino father and son not far away.Let them report back to Konoha first.

Nara Shikohisa and others who got the news have been guarding the door.After all, the Gaara trio is quite important whether it is the identity of the criminal who attacked Konoha or the identity of the son of the fourth generation of Kazekage.

Now that the attack is full of doubts, it is better to be cautious when dealing with Gaara trio.To avoid an all-out war, that would be detrimental to Konoha and Sha Yin today.

"Oh, it's Uncle Lujiu. That's right, this is the psychic contract I got from Master Jiraiya."

Naruto replied.

"Master Zi Lai Ye? It seems that you already know your own life experience."

Lu Jiu was stunned for a moment after hearing Naruto's words, but he quickly reacted.

"Almost. Then, these three people will be handed over to Uncle Lu Jiu."

Naruto didn't say much, he just signaled Lujiu to send someone to take over Gaara and the three of them.

"Leave it to me. The situation is unclear now, but there is no need to torture the three of them, so let's send them to prison for custody. Shikamaru, you are responsible for this task."

Shikahisa signaled Shikamaru, who was beside him, to be responsible for this task, and Shikamaru had already put on a vest representing the Chunin.

"Understood. Seriously, it got me into trouble again."

Shikamaru reluctantly accepted the task.

"Not bad, Shikamaru. You're already a Chunin."

Naruto stepped forward and patted Shikamaru on the shoulder.

"Honestly, I don't want a Chunin at all. I'm in trouble."

Shikamaru replied with eyes wide open.

"Okay, I won't tell you so much, finish the task early and go home early to sleep."

Shikamaru greeted a group of people, found a car, put the cage in the car, and drove towards Konoha Prison.

"Well, it's really Shikamaru's style."

"Oh, this kid has always been like this. Naruto, you have worked hard today, go back and rest."

Lu Jiu said.

"I see, then I'll go first. Goodbye, Uncle Lu Jiu."

After Naruto said goodbye to Shikaku, he walked towards Jiraiya's house.

-

two days later.Naruto dressed in black and attended the funeral of the third generation.

After it was over, Naruto was about to practice when he was stopped by Jiraiya.

Then the two prepared their luggage and appeared at the Konoha gate.They have to find the Fifth Hokage, Tsunade.

"Okay, let's go."

Jiraiya was just about to set off when he was interrupted by a voice.

"Master Ziraiya, the three advisors invite you."

Anbu suddenly appeared and said to Jiraiya.

"Tsk, it feels like a bunch of troubles again. Naruto, you can go shopping by yourself first, and wait for my news."

Jiraiya scratched his head helplessly, and said to Naruto.

"learn."

Naruto said indifferently, and then walked towards Konoha's commercial street.

-

At the same time, two guys wearing bamboo hats and red cloud robes with a black background stepped into Konoha.

"As expected of Konoha Village, the most ninja village, even though it was attacked just now, it is still very prosperous."

said one of them.From the gap in the bamboo hat, one could vaguely see his shark-like appearance.

"Compared to before, it's still a bit worse."

said the person standing beside him.

"Oh? Even you, will you miss your hometown? Mr. Itachi?"

The shark-faced eccentric looked at his companion with interest.

"It's just a feeling."

His companion replied and walked forward.Through the gap of the bamboo hat, one can vaguely see a pair of scarlet eyes.

"It's rare to come back, so let's take a stroll. Let's go, Guishui."

"Yeah, you're really willful, Mr. Itachi. We have a mission."

The weird man named Kisame said so, but he didn't object to Itachi's behavior.

-

The training ground of the Uchiha clan.

【Fire Escape·Dragon Fire Art】

boom!

laugh!

As a fire dragon swept over, a large amount of water in the lake was evaporated by the high temperature, and the steam emitted made the training ground look like a fairyland.

"Huh~huh~ No, it's not enough. This kind of power is not enough."

Sasuke was panting heavily. He had been training intensively since he returned from the funeral of the third generation.

Two days ago, the battle between Naruto and Gaara stimulated him a lot.

"Based on who I am now, how long will it take to kill that man, bastard!"

Just when Sasuke was unhappy with his progress.But he didn't realize that there were two people watching him in the forest.

"Huh? Same hair color, similar looks, and most importantly, those sharing eyes."

Kisame looked at Sasuke and asked Itachi.

"Mr. Itachi, shouldn't you explain? I heard that you killed all your fellow clansmen."

"..."

Itachi was silent, and replied to Kisame for a long time.

"He is my own brother. It is the nourishment I left for myself for promotion."

"Oh? The nourishment for promotion?"

Kisame's face was full of disbelief.

"Forgive me, Mr. Itachi. Although that kid is your own younger brother, I don't see the slightest possibility that he can be compared to you."

Ghost shark said so.

Although Kisame and Itachi formed a team, part of the reason was to monitor Itachi.But even he has to admit that Itachi is an extremely powerful and reliable guy.

But looking at Sasuke in front of him, Kisame didn't see any aptitude comparable to Itachi.

"...Let's go, Kisame, go get something to eat."

Itachi was silent, then suddenly turned and walked away.

But an accident interrupted him.

"Sasuke-kun! I brought you a bento!"

It was a girl's voice.

Itachi turned around and saw a girl with long pink hair.With two bento boxes in her hand, she ran towards Sasuke.

But the moment he saw the girl, Sasuke, who had been extremely irritable just now, calmed down and smiled.

"That is?"

Itachi stared blankly at Sasuke, that kind of smile he had often seen on Sasuke's face before.

Seeing Sasuke and the girl sitting together eating bento, Itachi's face was expressionless, but he was extremely relieved in his heart.

"It seems that you have found someone you love too, Sasuke. That's great!"

Itachi took a look, turned his head and left resolutely.

He can no longer look back, seeing his favorite brother living happily is already the greatest satisfaction.

As a spy, he came back this time, although he had a legitimate reason to complete the task assigned by the organization.But in fact, he just wanted to come back and warn some people that he was still alive.Warn them not to think anything about Sasuke.

Now, it's time to start deterring those with ulterior motives.

"Yeah, yay, young people nowadays, they've started dating at a young age."

The ghost shark's voice rang in Itachi's ear.

"By the way, Mr. Itachi and your younger brother are both handsome guys who are popular with girls. Has anyone expressed love to you before?"

"How can people like us have something like that."

Itachi said so, and a figure who likes to eat meatballs could not help appearing in his mind.

"Ah, indeed. How can a fellow like us have such a thing."

Kisame agrees with Itachi.But he couldn't help but think of the foggy girl who asked him to eat together.

tread!tread!

"I know a good meatball shop, let's eat there."

"Sweet food? Itachi-san really likes it. I want to try a restaurant that Mr. Itachi admires."

-

"Then, what do the advisors want me to do? I'm still looking for Tsunade. By the way, even you are here this time, Advisor Danzo. It seems that something terrible has happened."

Jiraiya also came to the conference room of the Hokage Building.Seeing several consultants sitting neatly, they asked.

"It's indeed a big deal. The matter of you going out of the village to find Tsunade will be temporarily put on hold."

Mitomon said.

"The specific situation, let's talk about it after the deer comes for a long time."

"Master Jiraiya, some advisors. Here I come."

Just as he was talking, Shikahisa Nara walked into the conference room.

"Well, Lu Jiu, explain the situation."

Jiraiya also signaled Nara Shikahisa to start.

"Yes. Today's topic mainly has two aspects. First, Sa Yin sent an emergency communication today. They found that the fourth Kazekage and his guards were killed by Orochimaru long before the Chunin exam. Sa Yin The people said that they are also victims and hope to get Konoha's understanding. Continue to maintain the covenant with Konoha."

"Is that so? I see. It seems that the second matter is really serious."

Jiraiya saw that Danzo, who was originally the most radical, didn't comment on Sha Yin's request, so he knew that the second thing to talk about today was a big problem.

"Indeed, just this morning, our spies in the Land of Thunder reported that Lei Yin Village is planning to attack us."

Danzo said.

"Advisor Danzo is right. We also received a communication from Leiyin Village not long ago. They arrested Konoha's spies in the village yesterday. Using this as an excuse, they accused Konoha of taking the initiative to sabotage the relationship between the two countries. peace. And ask us to compensate a large amount of resources and the blood of the Hyuga clan, otherwise we will officially declare war on us.”

Shikahisa Nara added.

"Tsk, is it Leiyin Village again? They really don't change their minds."

Back then, Leiyin Village threatened Konoha to hand over Hyuga Hyuzu with the death of the regiment members, even Jiraiya who traveled abroad has heard about it.

"Yes, on the surface, it seems that Lei Yin Village is obsessed with Bai Yan. But according to our judgment, we have reason to believe that Lei Yin Village is targeting Naruto. Or, it is targeting Mu Dun."

Nara Shikahisa said.

"Naruto? It seems that the reappearance of Mu Dun has had a big impact on some people."

Zilai also nodded thoughtfully.

"Then, why did you come to me this time? Regarding the situation in this regard, the consultants should have already started to act, right?"

also asked.

"That's right, it is impossible for us to agree to Leiyin Village's conditions. In recent years, Leiyin Village has become stronger and stronger. They just want to find a reason to weaken Konoha, so as to reach the top position."

Turning to bed, Xiaochun said.

"We have urgently dispatched elite ninjas and formed a special response force, ready to support the front in the direction of the Kingdom of Thunder at any time. However, we are short of one person now..."

Mitomon looked at Jiraiya.

"Huh? Do you want me to lead this army?"

also asked.

"No, judging from the current situation, Leiyin Village will not launch a full-scale attack. Although they have an alliance with Yanyin Village, Leiyin Village, which was attacked in the past, cannot trust Yanyin Village, and will inevitably maintain a part of it. The power is holding Yanyin Village. But Shayin Village is too busy to take care of itself now, and Wuyin Village is now focused on development and has no intention of fighting against the outside world. Therefore, the situation this time will not be the same as the previous two ninja world wars."

Nara Shikahisa analyzed.

"That's right, our judgment is the same as Shikaku's. Therefore, this time the special response force will be led by Danzo. And you, Jiraiya, you have more important tasks."

Mitomon said.

"Hey, could it be? Hokage?"

Zilai also looked speechless.

"Yes, the war is about to start. It's not good without a leader. Of course, we also know that you don't want the position of Hokage. So, after discussing with the daimyo, we decided that you will temporarily act as the fifth Hokage until Tsunade is brought back. Come, let her officially inherit the position of Hokage."

Turning to bed, Xiaochun said.

"Is that so? Oh, okay. But, who are you going to ask Tsunade to find? That guy is not easy to talk to."

also asked.

"Under the current circumstances, we can only send a large number of Anbu to find Tsunade."

Mitomon said.

This is also a helpless move. If Jiraiya, who is also a Sannin, can also play the emotional card with Tsunade, it might be easier.But now Jilai also has a heavy responsibility, so he can only send Anbu.

"That's not okay. In this way, I have a very suitable candidate."

Said also.

"who is it?"

"Uzumaki Naruto. I'm going to let him find Tsunade."

Zilai also suggested.

"What? Nine-Tails Jinchuriki? No, he is what Lei Yin Village is looking for now. The whole ninja world is paying attention to him who made Mu Dun reappear. It is too risky to let him go out now. We cannot afford such a loss. "

Hearing Jiraiya's proposal, Danzo was the first to object, and the other two advisors also seemed to agree.

"Advisor Danzo, I have to remind you that Naruto has a name. And, since you have already elected me as the acting Hokage, of course I also have the right to be Hokage. Remember, now, I am Hokage."

Jiraiya first strongly refuted Danzo.Then he continued.

"What's more, letting Naruto who knows how to escape to persuade Tsunade may have a miraculous effect. In addition, I plan to let the little girl from the Uzumaki clan go with her. When Kushina came to Konoha, Tsunade Hands take good care of her. If you let Kaorin go with you now, maybe it will be effective."

"Well...if you decide so, fine."

Mitomon Yan agreed first, and then Xiaochun followed suit.

After all, Jiraiya is also Hokage now, and they are old.Neither status nor strength can compare to Zilaiye.

"Humph."

Although Danzo was dissatisfied, it was useless for him to raise opinions when the other two advisors and Jiraiya, Hokage, had agreed.He could only snort coldly and walked out of the conference room.

"Then, it's decided. For this war, the logistics issues will be handled by the two advisers. Lu Jiu, hurry up and make a battle plan. Then, bring Naruto and Kaorin."

Following the orders issued by Jiraiya, everyone took action one after another.
