Naruto: Who made him a ninja?

“Let's prepare to act, but before that.”

Kakashi took out a signal flare from his pocket and fired it into the sky.

This signal flare was a beacon to summon the remaining Anbu to join the battle. The remaining Anbu would act immediately upon receiving the signal.

Looking at the signal flare rising slowly into the sky, Kakashi sighed inwardly.

“Hopefully, there won't be any trouble.”

“Itachi, the target is over there.”

Amidst the chaotic crowd in Kusagakure, Shisui Uchiha and Itachi Uchiha had already transformed into Kusagakure ninja, hiding in the crowd.

Their mission was to gather information about Kusagakure's experiments and see if they could find anything of value.

Therefore, what they had to do was not to join the battle from the beginning, but to directly blend into the crowd. At this moment, they had already locked onto the head ninja of Kusagakure!

“You support me, I'll capture him and obtain information, be careful.”

Shisui assessed the situation of the Kusagakure head ninja and found that there were many ninjas gathered around him. This situation was really unfavorable for them.

However, Hidezawa and the others had already taken action, so he absolutely couldn't hold them back, even if it meant launching a direct assault.

“Isn't it too risky?”

Itachi Uchiha opened his mouth with some worry, but Shisui shook his head.

“Don't worry, I have my own plans, prepare to act.”

As soon as he finished speaking, Shisui quickly ran over. Seeing this, Itachi Uchiha sighed inwardly.

The first mission was like this, which was really beyond his expectations.

But now was not the time to dwell on it. Watching Shisui's figure constantly approaching, he took a deep breath and then activated his Sharingan.

When Shisui reached the right distance, he immediately took out several shurikens and shot them towards the area beside the Kusagakure head ninja!

“Fire Style: Phoenix Sage Flower Claw Crimson!”

The Phoenix Sage Flower Technique covered the shurikens, and in an instant, these shurikens all possessed scorching high temperatures.

The shurikens scattered instantly, like scattered phoenix sage flowers falling all over the sky, pouring towards the side of the Kusagakure head ninja!

“Be careful!”

“Enemy attack!”

The ninjas standing near the Kusagakure head ninja were obviously not weak. The moment they discovered the problem, they immediately blocked the Kusagakure head ninja behind them.

However, this action happened to completely expose the back of the Kusagakure head ninja to Shisui!

And Shisui also took advantage of the chaos to accelerate and rush over. As if silently, he came behind the Kusagakure head ninja and pulled him back.

“Huh?”

The Kusagakure head ninja realized that something was wrong. He turned his head back instantly, preparing to attack, but what entered his eyes was a pair of scarlet eyes!

“Sharingan.”

The Kusagakure head ninja's face changed drastically, but in an instant, a strange power had already rushed into his mind along with his eyes.

“Bastard.”

Huangtu's whole body was bound by Wood Style, and he couldn't break free at all, he could only keep cursing angrily.

Not far from him, Hidezawa was looking at him leisurely, which made him even more annoyed.

This guy's weird and seemingly ubiquitous Flying Thunder God Technique really made him a little dazed.

He clearly didn't see this guy throwing kunai, but he could attack him as if he was everywhere.

Such a battle really made him suffer a lot. If he hadn't been proficient in Earth Style and used Earth Style to defend himself, he might have been killed by now!

But no matter how much he defended, it was useless. This guy actually directly used Wood Style to subdue him.

Feeling the chakra constantly draining from his body, he now had no other choice but to curse!

“You're the bastard, right?”

Hidezawa looked at Huangtu, who was cursing, and couldn't help but scold him as he shook his numb hand.

“Is your Earth Style only used for defense? What about your offense?

Or is this the characteristic of Iwagakure? Do you only know how to shrink back and defend?”

“Damn it, what nonsense are you talking about!”

Being ridiculed by Hidezawa, Huangtu became even more angry.

“Isn't that so? You yourself are shrinking back like a turtle, and some of the things Iwagakure does are the same.

Being so hard only makes you a turtle, what else would you be if not a bastard?

Moreover, you hire various ninja organizations to help you do the hard work, but you shrink back and rarely participate. Isn't this your style?

The organization that ambushed us this time was hired by you, right? It really is your consistent style.”

“Then what about you? Haven't you been hiding all the time? Is this the style of Konoha? If you have the ability, let me down and fight like a man!”

Huangtu was a little exasperated. He was not very good at arguing with others. He was already a little unable to hold back after being ridiculed by Hidezawa like this.

However, he regretted it as soon as he said this. He knew very well what a ninja was.

Cursing others for being insidious was simply because he was not strong enough. It was just that he was really a little broken by Hidezawa's elusive fighting style.

He understood more and more why his father chose to cease fighting after the Kannabi Bridge failed, because Minato Namikaze's fighting style really made them helpless.

This was completely having a body of strength but nowhere to use it, and could only watch himself being beaten constantly. Who could stand this?

However, he also knew that this kid in front of him didn't seem to have any intention of killing him. Otherwise, these Wood Style would not be binding him, but would really pierce through him.

“Please, didn't your old man teach you what 'winner takes all' is, and what 'history is written by the victors' means?”

Shūzawa tilted his head, his eyes full of doubt, and such a look made Huangtu feel a little embarrassed.

However, Shūzawa then nodded, as if he had understood something.

"I finally understand why you Iwagakure haven't had a Fourth Kage until now. So the problem lies here."

"You—"

Huangtu's face flushed red, and he felt humiliated again, but this time, Shūzawa didn't give him a chance to speak.

He bowed slightly, and as the Tree World Advent behind him continued to expand and encroach, and with the screams of the surrounding ninjas, Shūzawa said with a smile.

"Alright, Lord Huangtu, it's all over. And by the way..."

"Konoha welcomes your visit."

Chapter 89: A Great Harvest!

Konoha, inside the Hokage's office.

Hiruzen Sarutobi was looking at the documents in his hand, but he couldn't help but think about Shūzawa and the others' current situation.

To be honest, he felt somewhat helpless about Shūzawa's mission this time.

Because according to his thoughts, he really didn't want this kid to go out.

"He's too much of a troublemaker."

Recalling the various difficulties the Fourth Raikage caused when he was 'a guest' in Konoha, he now felt a headache.

Admittedly, capturing the Fourth Raikage was indeed helpful in boosting Konoha's morale, but the subsequent problems were too numerous.

What if Kumogakure directly started a war?

What if the fight triggered a new round of the Shinobi World War?

Of course, Shūzawa also came up with some plans to go along with the capture, which indeed made the Fourth Raikage save face and gave them no excuse to start a war directly.

But Hiruzen Sarutobi could completely foresee the small actions in the dark.

"It would be great if there weren't so many troubles and problems."

Hiruzen Sarutobi sighed a little, but there was nothing he could do. Besides the external problem of the Fourth Raikage, there were also many internal problems.

Danzo was one thing, but Tsunade was also giving him a headache.

"Old man!"

Just as he was thinking, the door was suddenly pushed open violently, and Hiruzen Sarutobi saw Tsunade rushing in angrily.

"Lady Tsunade, don't be impulsive!"

Shizune desperately tried to hold Tsunade back, but her small arms and legs couldn't hold Tsunade at all.

"Old man, when exactly will Shūzawa be back, and what exactly is the situation over there?"

Tsunade ignored the anxious Shizune and slammed her fist on the table, asking in a low voice.

"This kid went out so quietly for so long, and you haven't given me a definite answer. Isn't this a bit too much?!"

"Don't be impulsive, Tsunade."

Hiruzen Sarutobi helplessly rubbed his eyebrows. He first waved his hand at Shizune to indicate that it was okay, and then continued.

"There's no big problem on Shūzawa's side, and this mission was urgent in the first place. Haven't I said all this?

Don't come here once a day. I know you're worried about his safety, and so am I.

If this mission wasn't impossible, I wouldn't want him to go out."

The troublesome part of this mission was that Kusagakure was biased towards Iwagakure, and it also involved secret research.

It was impossible for them to send some ordinary ninjas to carry out the mission. They could only choose from the Anbu.

Besides, Ōnoki had clearly expressed his interest in this matter, and it also involved the Uzumaki or Senju clan on Konoha's side.

For both emotional and rational reasons, they had to send a relatively strong team to deal with this matter.

Shūzawa and the others were good at attacking and defending, especially at running...

So no matter how you looked at it, this mission would eventually fall on these people. There was no other way!

"And there's really no need to worry. Shūzawa and the others also have the Flying Thunder God Technique. Running away is no problem.

And there are other Anbu units to reinforce them. I believe nothing will happen to him."

"Tch."

Tsunade still snorted with some dissatisfaction. She had finally encountered a kid who had awakened Wood Release, and it wasn't an experiment.

She had subconsciously regarded Shūzawa as family, and she had also slightly approved of this kid.

Now this little guy had run out again, and was still going to carry out such a dangerous mission. How could she be in a good mood?

"Hokage-sama, urgent report!"

Just then, a ninja suddenly rushed over, but when he saw the situation in the office, he didn't dare to move.

"Bring it over."

Hiruzen Sarutobi calmed down and nodded to the ninja.

He was also stunned after receiving the scroll, because this scroll was obviously transmitted from Kusagakure.

"It seems to be a report from Shūzawa and the others. Let's take a look together."

Tsunade didn't speak, but walked over and stood behind Hiruzen Sarutobi, her meaning already very clear.

Hiruzen Sarutobi didn't waste any time and directly unfolded the scroll. However, both he and Tsunade were stunned by what they saw!

"This... this is..."

Hiruzen Sarutobi quickly scanned the report, but the corners of his mouth couldn't help but twitch.

Tsunade on the side was also staring blankly at everything, as if she couldn't quite believe it!

In the report, Shūzawa and his team mobilized the border troops to cooperate, which was some of the rights they could obtain, as long as they didn't enter Kusagakure.

But this time, the mobilization directly made Kusagakure even more like a frightened bird, dispatching more teams to the front line!

And that wasn't all. They also mobilized the Anbu who were ready to reinforce them at any time, and...
