Chapter 20: Pursuit of Beluhu, the debut of Jiaodu
Konoha's eighth team, positioning reconnaissance team, led by Jonin Yuhi Kurenai, and the team members include Hinata Hinata, Kiba Inuzuka and Shino Aburame.
At this moment, Kurenai Yuhi led three team members to stand in the Hokage's assistant office, waiting for Naruto to announce the mission.
"It's unbelievable. I saw him before as Kakashi's disciple, and now he has become the Hokage's assistant..." For such a big change in Naruto's identity, Yuhi Kurenai just felt incredible, but she could not accept it.
After all, this is the Fourth Hokage, the son of Lord Namikaze Minato!
In the ninja world where blood is paramount, this statement alone is enough to dispel most people's doubts about Naruto's succession to the position of assistant to the Hokage.
What's more, compared with Sunagakure next door, he was directly promoted from a fifteen-year-old genin to the position of the fifth Kazekage. In comparison, Naruto's promotion speed is quite slow!
"According to the news from the ninjas stationed at the border of the Land of Fire, a Konoha rebel named Beiruhu is moving around the border and attacking Konoha's ninjas." Naruto introduced the background of this mission.
Naruto continued: "Your mission is to find the exact whereabouts and location of this traitorous ninja."
When Yuhi Hong heard that the task was so simple, she took the initiative and asked: "Don't we need to take him down?"
Naruto shook his head: "The enemy is a ninja who was in the same team with the three ninjas. He is very powerful. If you encounter him, don't fight, just avoid the fight."
"Once you find him, use the reverse psychic scroll and I will arrive immediately."
Shikamaru, who was standing aside, took out four scrolls tied with red strings and handed them over.
"Reverse channeling scroll?" Yuhi Hong knows about channeling, but this is the first time she has heard of reverse channeling.
Naruto nodded: "That's right. Press your palm on the center of the reverse psychic technique, then inject chakra to activate it, and I can reach the battlefield in an instant."
Hearing Naruto explain the effect of the reverse psychic scroll, Yuhihi Kurenai was severely shocked. If there were more such reverse psychic scrolls, it would increase Konoha's combat power to a terrible extent!
Think about it, while the main force of the enemy leaves the village, as long as one ninja sneaks into other ninja villages, and then starts to reversely channel the powerful people out of the village one by one, such as Naruto, Tsunade, Jiraiya, Kakashi and others.
....Yuhi Kurenai couldn't think of any village that could withstand Konoha's attack in this state.
"You go and prepare first. Hinata will stay here for a while," Naruto said.
Kurenai Yuhi, Kiba Inuzuka and Shino Aburame all left as instructed, and even Shikamaru followed them. Only Hinata stayed in the office, alone in the same room with Naruto.
"Naruto-kun..." Hinata couldn't think of why Naruto left her alone, and her shy nature made her face turn red.
"Hinata, you have to be extremely careful on this mission." Naruto said sternly. He left Hinata alone, of course, not to do anything inappropriate for children, but because he had something very serious to talk about.
"The enemy has a secret technique that can devour and absorb the blood of others. You have the blood of the Byakugan, and you are a member of the Hyuga clan. The enemy may be interested in you and want to steal your eyes."
"So you have to be even more careful and always be wary of this guy, understand?" Naruto said.
Although Hinata's face was still blushing shyly, it was obvious that after hearing what Naruto said, Xiaolu's heart was relieved: "I will pay attention, Naruto-kun!"
After saying this, Hinata felt that although her heart felt much more settled, a feeling of loss and disappointment was flowing in her mind, and even she couldn't explain why.
When Hinata went out, Shikamaru naturally came in again.
"If you were worried about her, why did you let her out?" Shikamaru asked his own question.
Naruto is the majestic Hokage's assistant. With his order, Hinata will not need to go on any missions from now on.
Because of this, Shikamaru felt strange.
He even didn't think it was necessary for Team 8 to carry out this mission.
"Shikamaru, with my current power, it is not difficult to overthrow the entire ninja world. Guess why I don't do this?" Naruto asked Shikamaru.
He's not bragging. With his current strength, if Otsutsuki doesn't show up, who can compete with him?
"Because... afraid of trouble?" Shikamaru answered based on his own situation.
Naruto shook his head: "No."
"Then, I really can't guess." Shikamaru shook his head and gave up guessing.
"With my strength, it is not difficult to level the ninja world. Genin, chuunin, jounin, and then the shadows of each village. As long as I control those shadow-level experts, I can definitely become an emperor of the ninja world!"
"But this is not what I want!" Naruto stretched out his hand and pointed to the sky.
There, there is a huge fireball hanging high in the blue sky, emitting endless light and heat, illuminating the earth and nourishing thousands of living things.
"The Konoha we are in is just a small piece of land within the Land of Fire. The Land of Fire is just a piece of the Ninja Continent. And the entire Ninja Continent is just a part of an entire planet!"
"And this planet, in the vast universe, is like a grain of sand in the desert or a drop of water in the ocean. It is really too small and inconspicuous!"
This is a world with limited human power and infinite universe.
The so-called ninja world only exists because Kaguya Ōtsutsuki planted the sacred tree, allowing the power of chakra to penetrate into the entire planet. And the countless stories of this ninja world can be summed up as "Kaguya Ōtsutsuki's family"
That little thing".
And Kaguya is just one of the Otsutsuki tribesmen who have footprints on countless planets.
In the vast sea of stars, are there beings more powerful than the Otsutsuki clan?
As soon as he thought of this, Naruto couldn't bear to limit his sights to a ninja continent.
When Shikamaru heard this, he was shocked by Naruto's 'dream' for the first time. In his opinion, just the two or three things in the documents every day were annoying enough, and looking up at the stars... that was really too far away
Got it!
"Okay, let's not talk about this anymore." Naruto knew that a journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step. If he couldn't even integrate the ninja continent, heading towards the stars and the sea would be nothing more than a false dream.
"You came to see me, what's the matter?"
Shikamaru had already left before, so if he came in now, he must be looking for something.
"It's about the mission to the Kingdom of Snow."
Shikamaru's answer stunned Naruto. This matter had long passed in his mind, but he didn't expect it to come up again at this time.
Shikamaru continued: "The seventh team is led by Jonin Tenzo Yamato, and the team members are Haruno Sakura, Sai and Shiro. Among them, Captain Yamato, Haruno Sakura and Sai met a man who called himself 'Kakuzu' on the way back.
The ninja blocked it."
"Kakuzu?" Naruto muttered. This guy was a rebellious ninja from the former Taki Ninja Village, and later joined the Akatsuki organization. I didn't see him when he made a big fuss at the Akatsuki organization base. It turned out that he went to the country of snow.'
On business trip'.
"Is he alone?" Naruto asked again.
"Yes. This guy is said to have immortality and is extremely difficult to deal with." Shikamaru said: "Because he had to escort the film crew back to Konoha safely, the journey was extremely slow and he has not returned yet."
"Their reply this time is to hope that the village will send manpower to respond. At least take away the film crew members. In this case, they will have enough manpower to deal with the ninja named Kakuzu."
