When Naruto and Sasuke returned to the residential area of the village, they saw a large group of ninjas rushing across the rooftops.
Naruto saw a familiar figure among these ninjas, and immediately shouted: "Red-sensei!"
Yuhi Hong turned around and looked at Naruto.
"Oh, you are Naruto from Team 7 led by Kakashi? What's wrong? Do you have anything to do with me?" Kurenai stopped and asked.
Naruto took the opportunity to ask: "Teacher Hong, what are there so many ninjas in the village doing?"
Hearing this, Yuhi Hong couldn't help but sigh: "I shouldn't have told you this in the first place."
"But you are Kakashi's disciple, so I will make an exception. The examiner of the third round of your Chunin Examination was killed. Now the village is investigating who killed him."
"The ninja leading the team is your guiding jounin, where is Kakashi."
Is Moonlight Hayate dead? Naruto thought about it carefully and indeed remembered the death of Moonlight Hayate.
In his memory, he eavesdropped on the secret conversations of the Sunagakure ninjas, and was then killed by the Sunagakure ninja Maki.
This only occupies a very small part of the original work, but its significance is very significant.
Someone once joked that the death of Moonlight Hayate kicked off the story of Shippuden. This is half true and half false.
But one thing is certain, after the death of Tsukiko Hayate, the entire ninja world seemed to be on an accelerator, with waves of enemies coming one after another.
The first one to bear the brunt is the "Konoha Collapse Plan" jointly launched by Sunagakure and Oto Ninja this time.
Sasuke looked at Naruto deep in thought and asked directly: "What's wrong with you?"
Naruto 'picked' himself out of the complicated thoughts in his mind and said to Yuhi Kurenai and Sasuke: "It's nothing. It seems that the village is not very safe recently, so it's better to stay at home."
Yuhi Kurenai nodded approvingly, obviously agreeing with Naruto's words: "That's right. At this time, it is right to stay at home safely."
Sasuke curled his lips in disdain, considering Naruto's strength, who is unsafe?
But he is not stupid and will not say it in front of Yuhi Hong.
He said goodbye directly to Naruto: "I still want to continue practicing. I'm going back to the dojo first."
"Well, go ahead."
After Sasuke left, Naruto also said goodbye to Yuhi Kurenai and returned to his home.
He thought about it: "It seems that the ninjas of Sunagakure have already started to take action. I can't just defend them, I have to take the initiative to see how far they have planned."
That night, while others were enjoying the nightlife under the feasting lights, Naruto changed into black night clothes and quietly went to the hotel where the Sunagakure ninja was staying.
In Sunagakure's room, Maki made sure there was no one outside before talking to Gaara and Gaara with confidence.
Kankuro was the first to ask: "Teacher, now because of the death of the examiner, there are Konoha ninjas everywhere chasing us. Is there any danger of our plan being exposed?"
Ma Ji shook his head: "Don't panic. Who will doubt us? By the time they really find out something is wrong, the time has already passed. By then, we have already started the Konoha collapse plan."
Temari had questions: "Teacher, didn't you say that there is no need to contact me again before the plan officially starts?"
Maki replied: "The situation is special. I am here to deliver the order of the fourth generation Kazekage."
The trio of Gaara were stunned for a moment.
Although the Yondaime Kazekage is their biological father, the three of them are not close to him, and they are more like subordinates than family members.
"What is the Yondaime's order?" Kankuro asked.
Having said this, Ma Ji couldn't help but shake his head: "The Fourth Generation ordered Gaara to deal with a guy named Uzumaki Naruto."
"I don't know the specific intention." Marky looked at Gaara and the three of them: "What? Do you know anything about him?"
Gaara didn't care: "A little insect, I will crush him to death very quickly."
Kankuro also echoed: "A kid who dreams of becoming Hokage has nothing to be wary of."
When Ma Ji heard this, he nodded with satisfaction: "Okay, you should have such ambition."
"We Sunagakure must tell them with practical actions that these guys in Konoha Village, who have been at peace for a long time, are not worthy of occupying such a good land as the Land of Fire!"
Among the three people, the only one who didn't speak was Temari.
Although she always felt in her heart that things would not go so smoothly, she had so many things to say that she finally kept them in her chest and did not say them out.
She walked to the glass window of the hotel and saw a crow with red eyes flapping its wings and flying away with a cry of "yaaa".
Konoha, Uzumaki Naruto's family.
"Sure enough, Orochimaru wants to use one tail to deal with me." Naruto didn't feel strange about this.
Orochimaru was definitely not the type to stand around and let others beat him. When he had 'blackmailed' him several times before, he knew that he must be waiting for him with a big move behind him.
However, it has been so long since time travel, and I haven't seen Kyuubi yet, which makes him quite surprised.
Among the senior time travelers I have seen in novels, not long after birth, their consciousness entered the sealed space and saw the Nine-Tails.
Then with just a few words, Kyuubi can be coaxed into being stunned, obediently offering chakra and acting as a thug in times of crisis.
But I am different.
The seal set by the Fourth Hokage was like an unbreakable Maginot Line to the senior time travellers; while the seal set on himself was as fragile as the Pavlov Building in Stalingrad.
Naruto thought to himself: "If I can't summon the Nine-Tails, the battle with Shukaku will be really troublesome."
It's not that he can't defeat Shukaku.
With his speed, he could kill Gaara directly in his half-tailed beast state without even having time to react. However, in this way, he would not be able to meet his own requirements.
In Naruto's imagination, the perfect ending of the Chunin Exam should be like this: the Sandaime died in the battle with Orochimaru.
A Shukaku broke out in the center of Konoha and wreaked havoc, no one could stop it.
At this critical moment, Naruto stepped forward and at the same time divided hundreds of clones to evacuate and rescue the villagers of Konoha.
Then he summoned the Nine-Tails, defeated the One-Tailed Shukaku, and foiled the conspiracy of Sunagakure and Orochimaru.
Afterwards, the villagers learned that Naruto was the son of the Fourth Generation, the son of a true hero.
With the power to defeat the One-Tail and the prestige of the Yondaime's son, Naruto can instantly rise to the upper echelons of Konoha and in turn control the entire Konoha.
This is the perfect script in his mind.
"If you move a tree to death, you will move a person to life. Since Kyuubi won't come out to see me, I can only go and see Kyuubi by myself."
Naruto finally made up his mind.
"Unlock the seal formation on your belly a little. Only in this way can you enter the sealed space!"
