Chapter 249 Uzumaki Naruto and Uchiha Sasuke return to the village
Konoha Village.
Two figures walking a long way into the village.
It was Jiraiya and Uzumaki Naruto who had returned from training for several years.
Uzumaki Naruto reached out and dropped his bag, stepped all the way up the telephone pole, and stood on a tall and thick telephone pole, overlooking the scenery of Konoha Village.
"I miss you so much..."
Uzumaki Naruto stretched out his arms, his face missing the scenery here very much: "There really isn't much change in the village!"
"Tsk..."
Jiraiya touched his chin.
"Naruto!"
Haruno Sakura, who had already matured into a slender girl, ran towards this direction with the three little gangsters from Konohamaru's team. They were all Uzumaki Naruto's former followers in the village, and at this time they had all become members of the village.
Genin.
"Sakura!"
Uzumaki Naruto jumped down from the telephone pole, and the joy of seeing his old friend immediately overflowed on his face: "Long time no see, Sakura..."
"..."
Haruno Sakura looked at the grown-up Uzumaki Naruto.
The yellow-haired young man in front of him had a very calm look on his face. He didn't look like he was out of touch when he was a child. He seemed to have changed into a different person in two or three years.
"Brother Naruto, the art of seduction!"
Konohamaru very proudly used the seduction technique taught to him by Uzumaki Naruto, transformed into a naked black-haired woman, and blew a kiss to everyone!
"How about it?"
Konohamaru showed off proudly: "How's it going? How's it going, Naruto-nii, is this sexy and coquettish enough?"
"Konohamaru, I am no longer a child..."
Uzumaki Naruto chuckled like an adult and whispered softly: "Don't do this kind of ninjutsu. That kind of ninjutsu is really too low-level..."
Konohamaru lowered his head in disappointment, a heavy atmosphere appeared around everyone, and they were all a little disappointed with the passage of time.
indeed…
Children will grow up...
However, the next second, Uzumaki Naruto's steady temperament disappeared without a trace, and he clenched his fists suddenly: "Your seduction technique is too weak, let you see the new one I developed.
The art of seduction!”
After saying that, Uzumaki Naruto planned to show Konohamaru the new seduction technique he had developed during his training!
Bang!
Haruno Sakura was so angry that she punched someone away!
When this side is very lively, the other side seems particularly quiet.
Two figures wearing hoods and cloaks passed by them. The two people seemed to be uninterested in the farce next to them and walked past them intently.
"Um?"
Uzumaki Naruto's nose was bleeding, but he looked back curiously, as if a familiar face flashed past: "Hey, wait..."
"Shh!"
Haruno Sakura raised her finger and quickly stopped Uzumaki Naruto from provoking the two guys: "Don't talk, those two are wearing hoods and cloaks with the Root logo on their backs. They are Root ninjas, don't provoke them!
"
"Roots?"
Uzumaki Naruto thought of the roots and Akihara Kagura, and asked in surprise: "I remember that wasn't Kagura's subordinate..."
"yes."
Haruno Sakura's expression became solemn, and she said in a deep voice: "The root is now the most powerful department in the village. It has even taken over the power of the police force in the past, supervises all ninjas in the village, and can arrest people directly at any time without restraint..."
"..."
Jiraiya frowned slightly.
"Let's go see Tsunade-sama first."
Haruno Sakura's eyes were a little worried.
the other side.
The two figures wearing hoods and cloaks were still communicating in a low voice.
One of them took off his hood, chuckled and asked, "Sasuke, how does it feel to see an old friend?"
"snort…"
The other man still refused to take off his hood, raised the corners of his mouth slightly, and snorted contemptuously: "That guy... is really an idiot..."
"Let's go back to the roots."
Kabuto Yakushi smiled and took Uchiha Sasuke back to the root.
Originally they didn't need to pass through here, but they just happened to see Uzumaki Naruto and Jiraiya returning to the village, so they might as well go here.
However…
Within the root base.
When Akihara Kagura saw Uchiha Sasuke, she waved him to take off her coat, revealing the curse mark on the back of her neck: "Okay, you passed the test, first let me see what Orochimaru-sama left.
The curse mark on your body..."
"Um?"
Uchiha Sasuke looked at Akihara Kagura with some curiosity.
The curse seal has always been of great help to him and can greatly enhance the power of the spell. Uchiha Sasuke did not feel the danger hidden in the curse seal.
"The Seal of Eliminating Evil."
Akihara Kagura stretched out her palm and poured her own chakra into the curse seal. The chakra from the curse seal immediately turned into a long snake and emerged from it.
The long snake suddenly opened its mouth!
Orochimaru's body crawled out of the long snake. When he saw Akihara Kagura in front of him, his eyes suddenly solidified, and he had some bad speculations in his heart.
"How is this going?"
Uchiha Sasuke was shocked!
Because he personally killed Orochimaru and devoured Orochimaru's chakra, why could Orochimaru be resurrected in this way?
"This battle is also a trap for Lord Orochimaru."
Akihara Kagura glanced at Orochimaru who was standing next to him, and took the initiative to talk to Uchiha Sasuke next to him: "Because there is a curse mark on your body, Orochimaru-sama has never been killed by you and is lurking in your body.
, the corpse reincarnation requires the consent of the caster to reincarnate perfectly. He can always hide in your body and wait for opportunities to devour your body..."
"You guy, you ruined my good deeds again..."
Orochimaru took a deep breath, filled with dissatisfaction with Akihara Kagura.
Because after Orochimaru failed to seize Uchiha Sasuke's body, he lurked directly in Uchiha Sasuke's body and wanted to seize Uchiha Sasuke's body through the method Akihara Kagura said, but he didn't expect that he would be captured just after he hid it.
Akihara Kagura pulled it out.
"!!!"
Uchiha Sasuke was about to draw his ninja sword.
"alright."
Akihara Kagura pressed Uchiha Sasuke's palm and ordered: "When I arranged for you to go to Lord Orochimaru, it was for the preparation trial. I guessed this situation, so I asked you to kill him quickly.
Send Orochimaru-sama back to Konoha..."
"etc…"
Orochimaru narrowed his eyes and looked back and forth at the faces of Uchiha Sasuke and Akihara Kagura: "Kagura-kun, I have a question. When I took Sasuke away from Konoha..."
Why do these two guys get together?
What does Akihara Kagura’s arrangement mean?
"I arranged it in advance."
Akihara Kagura nodded and did not deny the matter: "Sasuke, I arranged for him to agree to defect and serve as an intelligence officer by your side. He has been reporting your whereabouts to me..."
"This is to prevent Orochimaru-sama from distrusting Kabuto, so I arranged for Sasuke to become another assistant hidden next to you..."
"What a good idea..."
Orochimaru was so angry that he laughed, not knowing what to say.
but…
Probably because I have experienced a worse past...
Orochimaru actually felt less desperate in his heart.
"It's just a small gesture."
Akihara Kagura shook his head, raised his palm, reached out and patted one of his curse seals on Uchiha Sasuke's shoulder: "My curse seal should be safer than Lord Orochimaru's curse seal, you should
You will be able to master it quickly. The purpose of letting you leave Lord Orochimaru's curse seal was to avoid being suspected by Lord Orochimaru. You should get used to it yourself and ask others if you don't understand..."
"yes."
Uchiha Sasuke nodded slowly.
"You go down first."
Akihara Kagura waved her hand towards Uchiha Sasuke and said proactively: "In the afternoon, I will arrange a trial for you and then assign you a new task..."
"yes."
After Uchiha Sasuke nodded, he made his request: "When can I kill Uchiha Itachi? That guy's information..."
"You may meet that guy on the next mission."
Akihara Kagura's words made Uchiha Sasuke's heart tighten.
"yes!"
A glimmer of fighting spirit appeared in Uchiha Sasuke's eyes, as if he remembered something again, and continued: "There are two other guys in Orochimaru's base, Kiden Suigetsu and Jugo. I think those two guys are very suitable to become..."
"It's up to you."
Akihara Kagura looked at Uchiha Sasuke, a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, and she directly said to Uchiha Sasuke: "I heard that you and Xiang Ling are going to compete for the position of the future leader of the roots, because you have completed this task well.
That’s right, Sasuke, starting from today, you have the qualifications to compete with Xianglan for this position..."
"If you become the leader of the root group in the future, you will definitely have your own team, but don't tell them in advance and let them follow you!"
"yes!"
Uchiha Sasuke immediately felt confident.
Now it seems that after his first mission, the leader Akihara Kagura also treated him differently and even allowed him to compete for the position of future root leader...
"Okay, you go and get used to the curse seal."
Akihara Kagura waved Uchiha Sasuke away and said softly: "Xiang Lian has developed the curse seal to the extreme, don't fall behind your opponents."
"yes."
Uchiha Sasuke's palms suddenly clenched.
The future position of root leader must be his!
but…
Competition pressure is not small either.
Because Xianglan was raised by the leader Akihara Kagura since he was a child, and he showed great talent when he was in the ninja school. He has always lagged behind Xianglan...
"Kagura-kun, your methods are getting more and more terrifying..."
After Orochimaru watched Uchiha Sasuke leave, he grinned and said: "Obviously he didn't promise anything, but he seemed to have done a lot for him..."
"I've done a lot for him..."
Akihara Kagura smiled and shook her head, her eyes falling on Orochimaru: "Of course, I have done a lot to help Orochimaru-sama..."
"No need to be so fake and kind."
Orochimaru sneered, not believing Akihara Kagura's words at all.
"Peace of mind."
Akihara Kagura quickly comforted her allies and said softly: "After Uchiha Sasuke kills Uchiha Itachi, I will not be involved in anything between you and Sasuke in the future..."
if only…
that time…
If Orochimaru can still defeat Sasuke.
"Lord Orochimaru, a bigger storm is coming."
Akihara Kagura looked at Orochimaru and said softly: "This storm will flood the entire ninja world. If you want to leave the root, I'm worried that you may encounter something unexpected. It just so happens that you stay in the root and have a good rest for a while. If you want to experiment, just
Go find Kabuto and Xianglan..."
Akihara Kagura sighed and said softly: "The news that you were killed by Sasuke has spread throughout the ninja world. You are already over fifty years old this year. It was you who raised me, and now it is my turn to
You have taken care of yourself..."
"..."
Orochimaru's narrow eyes flashed with a hint of coldness.
Is this bastard going to support himself in old age?
Orochimaru is worried that he will not live to be sixty!
I am only in my early fifties, my body is still very strong, and I am not old enough yet. This guy wants to imprison me at the root!
"I am not kidding."
There was a hint of sincerity in Akihara Kagura's eyes, and she continued softly: "Because I have received information about the Akatsuki organization, and they are about to start taking action..."
"dawn?"
Orochimaru's eyes immediately became alert, and he quickly thought of another thing: "Wait a minute, I remember that you and Nagato were colluding..."
"Um…"
Akihara Kagura nodded, sighed and said: "I have to go to the Hokage Tower for a meeting in the afternoon, and then I have to leave Konoha in the evening and go to the base of the Akatsuki organization to discuss the Akatsuki with Senior Brother Nagato and the others.
The implementation of the organization’s plan…”
"You really have a lot of responsibilities..."
A mocking smile appeared on Orochimaru's lips.
This smile is a satire on the collusion between Akihara Kagura and various forces in the ninja world.
"There's nothing we can do about it..."
Akihara Kagura reached out and picked up the forehead protector on the table, and put it on her forehead calmly: "However, as long as the real plan is implemented, these burdens can be lifted immediately..."
