Naruto Uzumaki was the last team member to arrive, carrying a huge package on his back. It seemed that he was not going to perform a mission, but to move. He gritted his teeth with every step he took and gathered all his strength.
Faced with this situation, Jiraiya of course reprimanded Uzumaki Naruto without any tact and asked him to go back to pack the package.
By the time Uzumaki Naruto came back to the gate of Konoha in disgrace, it was already almost half past nine. He did not hide his poisonous tongue attribute, or in other words, his original intention was to close the distance with Uzumaki Naruto. But being emotionally blank, he will obviously only mess up things.
"Are you really a ninja, Naruto-kun?" The corners of his mouth twitched, his eyes narrowed into slits, showing a fake smile that could be seen through at a glance, and he said to Uzumaki Naruto: "Or are you actually not a ninja at all? School!?"
Uzumaki Naruto didn't have a good impression of the fake smile on his face. When he heard this, he frowned and became angry, and retorted: "Shut up, you guy with a fake smile on his face!"
"That's enough, Naruto!" Jiraiya grabbed Uzumaki Naruto who wanted to say something, glanced at Shikamaru, and said to Shikamaru and the others: "This time our mission is to find and protect the Fifth Hokage. , and there is news that Orochimaru is likely to have the same purpose, so our time is very tight, we need to find the Hokage as soon as possible, and then take her back to the village, don't waste the mission time with unnecessary quarrels!"
"鶗鴃." Jiraiya looked at 鶗鴃 and said aloud: "Shimura Danzo recommended you because your ninjutsu can be used for investigation. Our next stop is Yi Town, and then we go to Tanshu Street, you must search for traces of the Fifth Hokage as soon as possible, you should have seen some of her information."
"Understood!" Weihe nodded and answered Jiraiya.
It is not easy to find traces of Tsunade, but it is not impossible to find. Tsunade, who is addicted to gambling and owes a lot of debt, is very well-known and often haunts major casinos. In addition, in this world, when it comes to living environment, fire The Country of Fire is the well-deserved first choice. Its huge territory and sufficient force ensure the prosperity and peace of this country. Many prosperous cities are located in the Country of Fire, and there is no shortage of casinos of all kinds.
The latest news is that Tsunade was in a prosperous capital city in the Land of Fire not long ago, not too far from the Leaf Village.
…………
Not long after Jiraiya, Shikamaru and others left Konoha Village, the village that had just experienced the war welcomed two uninvited guests.
The two men were dressed almost exactly the same. There were strips of white cloth hanging down around the bamboo hat, covering their faces. They were wearing a windbreaker with a black background and red clouds. One of them, a tall man, was carrying a handful of utensils wrapped in white cloth strips behind him. An object similar to a handle is revealed, possibly a weapon.
The protective power of Konoha Village seemed to have no effect on the two of them. The process of entering the village was smooth. It was obvious that there were ninjas who had worked for Konoha Village among them, and the two of them were not weak in strength.
"Konoha Village used to be so prosperous," the tall man and his companions stood on the tall city wall outside Konoha Village, looking at some collapsed buildings in the village, and sighed: "Orochimaru is really cold-blooded, listen. He said he would kill all his teachers."
When the tall man's companion heard this, he turned to look at him. He knew very well what kind of virtue the other person had. When these words came into his ears, he felt extremely harsh.
"Hey!" The tall man didn't seem to notice his companion's reaction, but he seemed to find his own words a bit funny, and bursts of laughter came from under the bamboo hat.
"Stop lamenting, Kisame, don't forget that we still have a mission." The shorter man turned around and jumped off the city wall, and said to his companions at the same time.
"Don't you miss your village at all, Itachi?" Kisame Akisaki asked aloud with a big grin hidden under his bamboo hat.
These two people turned out to be Itachi Uchiha and Kisame Ingaki. This time Orochimaru attacked Konoha Village, not only killed Sarutobi Hiruzen, but also met Uchiha Sasuke, achieving his two major goals, and also reminded the people who had relaxed.
Countries that are wary of war may break out at any time, and the business of the "Akatsuki" organization has suffered a major blow.
Uchiha Itachi used this as an excuse to capture Uzumaki Naruto, the Nine-Tailed Jinchūriki, and dragged Inikaki Kisame back to the village.
For the senior management of Konoha who are familiar with the massacre of the Uchiha clan, the two surviving brothers Uchiha Itachi and Uchiha Sasuke are actually dangerous people. Sarutobi Hiruzen died, and without the persistence of the Hokage to protect Uchiha Sasuke,
If Shimura Danzo, who is known for his toughness, comes to power, he will probably assassinate Uchiha Sasuke. This is something Uchiha Itachi cannot accept, so the first thing that comes to his mind is to remind the top management of Konoha Village and let them know that he is Uchiha Itachi.
In the human world, not only does he know all the inside story of the massacre, but he also has the strength to be fearful to the top management of Konoha Village!
Uchiha Itachi's original purpose was just to cause trouble in the village and attract the attention of Konoha's top brass, so he didn't even hide his appearance. He and Mikigaki Kisame were still wearing the unusually conspicuous "Akatsuki" organization clothes.
Next, he was actually wearing a bamboo hat, which was very eye-catching.
Kisame Mikigakaki might also be aware of Uchiha Itachi's abnormal behavior in his heart, but he didn't say anything about it.
The two outsiders who were dressed unusually and whose faces were hidden could easily attract the attention of the Konoha Ninjas, especially when the Konoha Village had just experienced a war and the Konoha Ninjas were most vigilant.
Sarutobi Asuma, who successfully made an appointment with Yuhi Kurenai for a walk, had already noticed something strange about Uchiha Itachi and Inikaki Kisame who were mixed in the crowd. After her prompting, Yuhi Kurenai also noticed it, but a few of them were now
Being in a busy street, fighting in such a place is likely to hurt innocent Konoha villagers. Therefore, Sarutobi Asuma and Yuhi Kurenai did not have an attack. They hid their emotions well and just observed each other secretly.
"Hi, you two have a good relationship. Are you dating?" A slightly frivolous greeting came into the ears of Sarutobi Asuma and Yuhi Kurenai, which shocked the two of them. When they looked back, they found that
It was Hatake Kakashi who was wearing a mask and holding a book in his hand, looking at them thoughtfully.
After hearing Hatake Kakashi's words, Yuhi Hong blushed and moved a step to the side as if to distance herself from the relationship. She waved her hands and made an excuse and said: "Idiot, it's Anko who asked me to buy some meatballs for her!"
Compared with Kurenai Yuhi's overt expression, Sarutobi Asuma seemed much calmer. He smiled brightly, pointed at the small book in Kakashi Hatake's hand and said, "You read while walking? Be careful to bump into it.
people!"
Kakashi Hatake smiled, then his pupils shrank, and he noticed that Asuma Sarutobi pointed at the book in his hand, slightly raised his index finger, and pointed in the direction of Itachi Uchiha and Kisame Inikasaki.
.
"I'm going to buy some things first, and then I'll find you two something to eat later!" Hatake Kakashi said to Asuma Sarutobi with a smile, acting as if nothing had happened.
However, at this time, Kisame Inikaki and Itachi Uchiha seemed to have noticed that the three Konoha jounin had discovered something unusual about them. While the three were talking, they used the teleportation technique to quickly leave the place.
"Follow me!" Sarutobi Asuma shouted when he saw this, and with a brief signal to Yuhi Kurenai and Hatake Kakashi, he immediately chased Uchiha Itachi and Inikaki Kisame in the direction they left.
Uchiha Itachi had no intention of simply escaping from Konoha, nor did he want to continue chasing Sarutobi Asuma and others behind him. Seeing that he could not get rid of the pursuit quickly, he joined Iniki Kaki and Kisame at the edge of a rarely visited forest.
Stopping, Asuma Sarutobi and Kurenai Yuhi also arrived one after another.
"You two are not from the Leaf Village!?" Sarutobi Asuma took a step forward and asked the two of them with a serious face: "You'd better tell us your purpose truthfully!"
