In the Hokage's office, Naruto suddenly heard the news and was a little caught off guard.
"What do you think?"
Tsunade rolled her eyes at him, "Who else could it be besides Kakashi?"
Too.
If it weren't for Kakashi, this plot would be very wrong.
Naruto looked at the mission authorization letter and said, "Aren't I surprised?"
"What's so surprising to you?"
Tsunade turned her eyes slightly and said with a smile, "I remember that you seemed to be the one who brought Kakashi and Karin together, but I didn't expect you to have the potential to be a matchmaker."
But in this matter, Naruto did a good job and deserves praise.
Because Kakashi's psychological problems have already gone through the third generation of Hokage.
From Hiruzen Sarutobi to Minato Namikaze to her, they were all trying to find ways to enlighten him.
Without Naruto, it would be difficult for Kakashi to get out of the shadow of the past.
"As the saying goes, it is better to demolish ten temples than ruin one marriage."
Naruto raised his head, looked at her, and said with deep meaning, "Sister Tsunade, if you have any ideas, you can come to me. There is no charge."
Jiraiya on the side suddenly became unhappy and cursed: "Evil disciple, what are you talking about? What a shame!"
"..."
Naruto twitched his lips.
Has your emotional intelligence been eaten by a dog?
Didn't you hear what I meant?
It’s really hard for me!
Tsunade was also speechless, even swallowing her words to tease Naruto.
Harmful.
If Jiraiya was half as smart as Naruto, he wouldn't have made her so angry.
"you shut up!"
Tsunade glared at him.
Jiraiya gritted his teeth and felt a little sense of crisis.
It's just that prophecy is a sword hanging over his head.
If it wasn't completed, he would really feel uneasy.
Naruto finally finished reading the mission information.
He had heard that it was Sunagakure Village asking for help, and he thought it was the Akatsuki organization starting to capture the tailed beasts, but it was not the case.
Although the targets are indeed Gaara and Shukaku, the enemy is the Shishou Celestial Being from the Craftsman Village.
Four ninjas using scientific ninja tools.
It relies entirely on the strength accumulated from external objects.
Recalling the plot, Naruto said: "Let Shikamaru come with me."
This is really what the matchmaker does to the end.
In the original work, it was Shikamaru who took the mission, and it was even named Operation Repayment.
Well, the name is quite appropriate.
I just don't know whether it's Shikamaru who pledges his body to me, or Temari who pledges her body to her?
Of course, it was originally to repay the help of the three people from Sunagakure Village during the mission to recover Sasuke.
But because of Naruto, there was no such drama of escaping.
Even the current act of repaying gratitude will be robbed.
"Shikamaru?"
Tsunade asked curiously, "Why Shikamaru? I thought it was Hinata."
"We have received too little information, and the border of the Country of Fire is too vast. We need someone who is good at commanding."
Naruto explained casually, "As for Hinata, she is currently busy practicing the Flying Thunder God Technique."
Even if he had Kagura's vision, it would not be easy to catch those guys.
With Shikamaru, he can save a lot of brain cells.
Of course the focus is still on the blind date.
"Flying Thunder God Technique?"
Tsunade's attention was attracted by the second half of what he said, and she asked, "Does Hinata have this talent?"
The implication was that he did not blame Naruto for using the forbidden technique.
Naruto is the son of the Hokage and a jinchuriki.
Hinata is the eldest daughter of the Hyuga family.
Both identities are sufficient.
There is no need to waste too much time on this kind of thing.
"Who knows, let's try it."
Naturally, Naruto couldn't guarantee it.
If you say this with such certainty, there will be problems.
"Okay, go find Shikamaru yourself."
Tsunade didn't hold out much hope after hearing this, "He happens to be free."
Naruto put away the mission authorization letter and left the Hokage's office.
"I feel like I'm in trouble."
Shikamaru saw a yellow-haired man walking towards him from a distance, and Fu Lingzhi complained, "Can you give me another day to rest?"
"No." Naruto replied.
"Hell, you can hear it from this far away?"
Shikamaru was startled by Naruto who suddenly appeared in front of him.
"As long as you have enough chakra."
Naruto smiled and said, "You can turn on perception anytime and anywhere."
"You think everyone is like you!"
Shikamaru shook his head helplessly.
His own chakra is really average.
Every time you use it, you have to put a lot of effort into it, and not a single thing is wasted.
If he had as much chakra as Naruto, he wouldn't have to worry so much when fighting.
Oh no, why should I think about fighting?
Aren't you happy being a salted fish?
Naruto patted him on the shoulder, brought him back from his thoughts, and said, "You must like this mission."
"No, it's a task and I don't like it."
Shikamaru spread his hands, "Besides, a task that requires you to find me specifically is definitely more troublesome than a woman."
"Then you are wrong." Naruto shook his head.
"Oh?" Shikamaru wondered, "Isn't that troublesome?"
"It might be a little troublesome for you."
Naruto handed him the mission authorization letter and said, "But I think you should want to go."
"Yeah?"
Shikamaru didn't believe it at all, but when he saw Temari's name, he felt a little dazed.
His father said that no matter how troublesome a woman is, she will always have a smile that makes men fall in love with her.
Temari is undoubtedly a very troublesome guy.
"Are you going?" Naruto asked.
"Can I not go according to Hokage-sama's order?"
Shikamaru pretended to be cool and said, "Let's go, go early and come back early."
I always feel a bit arrogant.
But stronger than Jiraiya.
At least take the initiative.
With the shadow imitation technique, Temari will definitely be happier in the future.
But according to her character, she is probably an attacker.
Naruto grabbed Shikamaru's shoulders and went directly to the southwest border of the Land of Fire.
"This ninjutsu is really useful."
Shikamaru looked envious and said, "It's fast and convenient, but what I want to say is that we still need a teammate, Aburame Shino."
"Then you wait."
After a few seconds, Naruto pulled Shino out.
"What's happening here?"
Shino adjusted his sunglasses, looked around, and asked, "You two can hang out together, are you on a mission?"
"good."
After Shikamaru explained the mission content a few times, he said, "I need your bugs."
"no problem."
Shino raised his arms, and a black swarm of insects flew out of his sleeves and quickly disappeared towards the surrounding forest.
Naruto closed his eyes and opened Kagura's inner eye, but found nothing.
He threw two kunai to Shikamaru and Shino and said, "I'll walk around."
Because there is no mark of the Flying Thunder God, he really walks on his feet.
It's just incredibly fast.
When passing through the town, I was accidentally seen by someone.
Just a few words.
Wife, come out and see God.
Naruto felt like he was playing a game of Minesweeper.
After half an hour, we finally found our target.
Not just one, but three.
Kankuro, Temari, and Gaara are divided into three battlefields.
Naruto reappeared in front of Shikamaru and Shino and asked: "Who do you want to save?"
"What's the meaning?"
Shikamaru's face changed slightly.
How come this is the same as protecting the elder and the younger?
"Three people, each one saves one."
Naruto knew that he had misunderstood, and quickly added, "All three of them are fighting."
"I'm going to save Kankuro."
Shino said without any hesitation.
His bug was afraid of Shukaku in Gaara's belly.
And he didn't like Temari's personality.
Shikamaru secretly breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this.
He preferred Temari, but it didn't feel right for him to say it out loud.
Especially Naruto seemed to know something.
"Then I'll save Temari..."
Naruto paused, noticing the unexpected expression on Shikamaru's face, and smiled, "Well, her brother Gaara."
"..."
Shikamaru was immediately silenced.
What the hell!
Naruto pointed in the direction and said, "Be careful."
Shikamaru came back to his senses and said hesitantly: "There seems to be something wrong with these three directions coming together, like some kind of formation."
His IQ shines at this moment.
Naruto only knew there was a problem after reading the original work.
But Shikamaru didn't, he relied solely on his clever mind.
"Save people first."
It's hard for Naruto to explain either.
Shikamaru couldn't think of any formation for a moment and could only nod.
The three people went in three directions.
Naruto was shocked when he saw Gaara.
The handsome boy who was originally fair and chubby turned into a muddy color.
Reminded him of an emoticon.
So scared that the color faded.jpg.
It's like comics going from full color to black and white.
"Is this water?"
Naruto quickly figured out the situation.
There is a layer of fine sand attached to the surface of Gaara's body, which is the so-called sand armor.
But sand becomes extremely heavy when mixed with water.
Correspondingly, more chakra is needed to control them.
The person he was fighting against was a muscular man wearing a pair of armor that didn't look very good.
It is very similar to the Chakra Armor of Feng Hua Raging Tao, and even its functions are very similar.
Can absorb chakra.
This also led to Gaara's dilemma.
Internal and external troubles.
His sand was soaked in water, and another strong man was sucking his chakra.
While typing, the battery suddenly ran out.
But fortunately, unlike the original work, Shukaku has a good relationship with him.
When the tailed beast chakra was poured into him, Gaara became more alive again.
Naruto touched his chin.
It seems that I don't need myself.
But Gaara never transformed.
The reason is that what the Four Elephants Celestial Being told him before was that they came to challenge Shukaku.
He was worried that something terrible would happen if Shukaku was released.
"What a shame!"
Jiu Lama looked at it for a while and felt it hurt his eyes.
Naruto's excellence invisibly raised the upper limit of the jinchūriki.
In comparison, Gaara is indeed almost boring.
But the Nine Lamas think differently.
It felt that Shukaku was dragging down the Jinchuuriki.
"You are dead again, Nine Lamas."
Naruto had previously cast a genjutsu on it.
The Nine Lamas blushed upon hearing this and argued: "How can you say that the tailed beast is dead? I am immortal, but your illusion is aimed at me!"
Well, the sealed space is filled with happy air inside and outside.
Naruto smiled and said: "It's okay. It doesn't matter if he dies. This is Patriarch Bodhi, a man with great supernatural powers."
"Hmph! A little trick!"
Ninth Lama is still speaking harshly.
Mainly because there is a character named Sun Wukong in it, which reminds me of the Four Tails.
But this guy is more powerful than that.
Naruto shook his head.
Seeing this, Kurama quickly changed the topic, opened the tailed beast channel, and smiled to cheer Shukaku up.
During the fight, Gaara suddenly burst out a large ball of chakra.
The leader of the Sixiang Celestial beings in the center of the distance who was not involved in the battle was not surprised but overjoyed.
This huge chakra will definitely resurrect their ancestors.
Because its own strength was too weak, the Artisan Village provided weapons to the five major countries, but suffered setbacks at every turn.
The Four Symbols decided to change this situation and wanted to summon the ultimate weapon, their ancestor Qingming.
The reason for challenging Shukaku is that this formation requires a huge amount of chakra.
He had actually noticed Shikamaru and Shino, but still didn't pay attention.
It doesn't matter if three people die.
Naruto raised his head.
Because Gaara has Shukaku, he won't be sucked dry for a while, so he doesn't need rescue.
He thought about it and realized that there was a high probability that these people would not achieve anything.
In this case, should we keep them for the New Year?
Naruto appeared directly in front of the middle-aged man.
"A ninja from Konoha?"
The middle-aged man was suddenly startled and didn't notice how he appeared.
But seeing his too young appearance, I laughed again.
He raised his sword and said, "Don't you have any adults in Konoha?"
Naruto said nothing and picked up the sword.
“Don’t overestimate your capabilities!”
The middle-aged man swung his sword, and a huge tornado appeared. He roared, "It is impossible for a mere ninja to defeat the ninja tools of my craftsman village!"
"What's this?"
Naruto teased, "Your fencing skills are not very good."
He waved his sword as he spoke.
I saw the twisting space tearing apart the tornado.
After a ripple, it seemed like nothing happened.
"Nani?!"
The middle-aged man's face was full of shock.
Offensive time and space ninjutsu?
Damn it.
How could such a thing exist?
As the leader of the craftsman village, he has extensive knowledge.
Under intense crisis, he raised his sword high and saw three ninja tools flying from all directions.
Armor, double swords, dark knives.
Naruto raised his eyebrows.
This scene seems familiar.
Armor fusion?
The middle-aged man suddenly changed his appearance.
In front of him is armor, behind him are the tentacles extending from the hidden sword, and in his left and right hands are two swords.
"A new era is coming!"
The middle-aged man regained his confidence after his transformation, "There is only one last step left. The ultimate ninja tool of the Artisan Village will be completed, and the ninjas of the five major villages will no longer need to exist. Boy, let's start with you in Konoha! Yali Dark Saber
!”
The tentacles made of swords on his back soared into the sky, shooting at extremely fast speeds.
Naruto directly picked up the Yama sword and chopped it down.
The three tentacles immediately rolled down.
It's like a salted fish jumping around on the ground.
"impossible!"
The middle-aged man's voice trembled, "Our ninja tool is the best in the world! How could it be cut off?!"
But Yama is from another world.
Sorry, the rules of the ninja world don't work.
After all, Newton can't control other worlds.
The middle-aged man roared again.
He doesn't believe in evil.
Then the knife on his body was chopped off until only the handle was left.
The middle-aged man was already doubting his life. He gritted his teeth, picked up his big sword and rushed over.
Naruto blinked.
You are not Galen. If you take the lead in charging, you will only lead to death.
But he suddenly changed his main force.
It would be such a waste to kill him.
At least the Artisan Village must be taken over.
No matter where you are, being a weapons dealer is an extremely profitable profession.
It's just that the Artisan Village is too weak and can only survive through cracks.
But he is different.
It's time for Destiny to organize itself.
I haven't done anything for half a year and I'm still a little used to it.
