Naruto: Start by chopping down a tree and shocking Kurama!

The battle lasted for a long time and the two did not return until late at night.

During this period, no matter how angry Naruto was or how he beat Sasuke, this kid just wouldn't open his Mangekyō.

This made Sasuke very angry, and now he doesn't say a word to him.

In the end, if Naruto hadn't sworn that he would never plot against him in public, Sasuke would have calmed down a lot and even treated the kid.

Before leaving, Sasuke said something about going back to kill Orochimaru.

It seems that this kid really wants to kill Aunt Snake.

However, he said he would wait for Orochimaru to summon the God of Death before taking action.

After sending the boy away, Naruto waited for Jiraiya for a while before the two of them opened the light gate and went back.

The only difference is that they returned to Konoha Village instead of Myoboku Mountain.

"Why did you return to Konoha?"

Naruto looked up at Jiraiya, confusion in his eyes.

"I'll discuss this with Tsunade..."

"Orochimaru said he would come back with me if he could convince Tsunade."

Naruto: .......

Jiraiya smiled happily, and his silly look left Naruto speechless.

Is there a possibility that...

Is Orochimaru fooling you?

Naruto estimated that if he dared to talk about this matter with Tsunade, Tsunade would beat Old Deng so hard that he would not be able to get out of bed for three days.

"Which road has more?"

"Didn't you go to Myoboku Mountain to train?"

"Why are you back again?"

At this time, Sakura and Shikamaru were walking towards them. Naruto almost couldn't help but go to Sakura to complain, but when he saw the attire of the two.

Obviously he was planning to go out of the village to complete a mission.

strangeness.....

Can Tsunade let Sakura leave the village without worry?

Thinking of this, Naruto looked at the two of them and asked.

"I'll come back and take a look."

"Do you have a mission?"

Shikamaru was holding a toothpick in his mouth and was too lazy to talk. Sakura clenched her pink fist, waved it twice, and then spoke.

"Well, there's a C-rank mission this time."

"I was commissioned to find a lost ferret."

After hearing the key words, Naruto's eyes widened and he leaned back slightly.

It's a story mission!!

Snow Ferret = Grayer Stone!

Let's look at the two people who participated in the mission, Sakura and Shikamaru...

Naruto was just 100% sure that he had encountered the second side quest.

It's just...

He always felt that Tsunade was going to have a headache again.

After all, the villain named Hyde kept talking about building an ideal country, but in reality he was engaged in waging war.

Um......

This guy seems to be a weird uncle who likes to kidnap children.

"I'll go as well."

"No."

Shikamaru crossed his arms, his whole body filled with resistance.

He is very troubled to take part in the mission with Sakura this time. If Naruto is added, this C-level mission may become an S-level mission.

And he really couldn't imagine what the reaction would be if two people who wanted to destroy the world got together.

"Shikamaru! You're not fair!"

"I even asked Temari to come back with you."

"You can't refuse such a small request."

"Besides, what can go wrong with just an animal?"

Naruto lacked confidence when he said the last sentence, and he didn't dare to look at Shikamaru at all.

But he felt that nothing serious would happen this time.

You can defeat each small early-stage BOSS without even needing the big fox to take over.

It's totally within his grasp.

"You can go if you want..."

"We must get the Hokage's consent."

bang——

As soon as Shikamaru finished speaking, the three of them heard a loud noise in their ears, and then saw a white-haired man flying out of the Hokage Building.

"Tsunade!"

"I will definitely bring Orochimaru back--"

Jiraiya in the air shouted in grief and anger, his figure gradually moving away.

“Forget it… forget it.”

"I think our Hokage is in a bad mood, so why don't we bother him?"

Naruto witnessed his master being beaten away, and he didn't dare to go to Tsunade at this time.

"Let's go!"

"It's the same whether you look for the Hokage or not."

"Even if I disagree, I will follow you."

"Shikamaru...you still can't do anything to me?"

Hearing Naruto's bad idea, Shikamaru covered his face and sighed.

Okay...

You are being a scoundrel.

"Forget it, let's go together."

"But you have to promise me that you will obey my orders and never cause any trouble for me."

Sakura: ? ?

No?

Shikamaru, if you talk about Naruto, then why did Naruto bring me up?!

What happened last time was just an accident!!!

Why are the people in the village talking about themselves with this matter?

"rest assured!"

"I definitely won't cause any trouble!"

Naruto stood at attention and put on a well-behaved expression, which made Shikamaru even more frightened.

Ugh......

Hope this mission goes well.

There shouldn't be any trouble in finding a lost animal, right?

When Naruto saw that Shikamaru agreed, he left a clone to find Jiraiya, while his real body followed Shikamaru and Sakura out of the village.

Half a day later...

The moment Naruto caught the snow ferret, Shikamaru finally felt relieved.

so far so good!

The mission was finally completed successfully!

The ferret licked Naruto's finger and nimbly jumped onto his shoulder, bending its body slightly and transforming into a ferret collar on the spot.

"Naruto, it seems this guy likes you very much."

Brother Ying was extremely envious when he saw this.

After all, what little girl can resist such a cute little animal.

"Okay, let's go find the client."

Shikamaru took out a map and hurriedly interrupted their conversation.

He now just wants to complete the task and return to the village.

Because he always had a bad feeling in his heart.

Suddenly, a fat man in armor appeared behind Shikamaru, holding a weapon similar to a meteor hammer in his hand and smashing towards him.

Boom——

"Shikamaru get out of the way!!"

Naruto, who had been waiting for a long time, gave a reminder, dodged and took the opponent's attack, then raised his foot and kicked the guy ten meters away.

The two people who reacted looked at the distance in shock.

"I knew it!!"

Shikamaru looked at Naruto, then at Sakura, and he was about to collapse.

Although they didn't know who attacked them, they saw the armor and weapons on their bodies...

Big guy... Armor...

He had every reason to suspect that the enemy was from the Mechanicus or the Scientific Truth Society!

"Did you two get into trouble outside again?"

"Is this the Scientific Truth Society or the Adeptus Mechanicus?"

Shikamaru sighed and pulled out his kunai.

Helpless, he could only accept the fact at this moment.

"Not the Mechanicus!"

"Not the Scientific Truth Society!"

The two former church leaders spoke up at the same time.

Both Naruto and Sakura felt extremely wronged.

Mudd!

How can this guy fit the aesthetics of the Mechanicus/Scientific Truth Society? !

Shikamaru: ? ?

After hearing what the two said, Shikamaru was stunned and the expression on his face kept changing.

No way...

Is there a third evil cult in the ninja world???

Soso——

After a few noises in the bushes, several fat men in black armor appeared in front of the three people with heavy steps.

Without any conversation, they rushed towards the three people with their helmets flashing red.

"Come!"

"Let me show you how powerful Foshan is!"

"Shikamaru! Sakura-nii, don't do anything!"

"I'm going to fight ten today!"

Hearing Naruto's arrogant remarks, Shikamaru stopped making hand seals and Sakura also put down his scientific ninja tools.
