120: Chapter 120: Trick Tsunade"Thank you, Uzumaki Naruto!" The village representative Maki solemnly thanked Naruto.
"Gaara and I are buddies, there's nothing to thank me for!" Naruto said indifferently.
"Lord Kazekage, please enter the village!" Maki, Gaara's former instructor, was extremely respectful at this moment.
The villagers now made way for Gaara and the others in an orderly manner, and then quietly saluted them.
The sense of ceremony reaches its maximum at this moment!
"Let Grandma Chiyo walk in front.She is the most respectable person!" Gaara gave up the leading position.
The stretcher carrying Chiyo's body slowly walked in front of Gaara.
"Pray for Grandma Chiyo!A moment of silence." Maki said solemnly.
Then everyone in the village bowed their heads slightly and began to observe a moment of silence.
Naruto didn't plan to stay here for long, so they went to the Kazekage Building to say goodbye the next morning.
"Are you going back so early, Naruto-kun?You have helped the Sand Village so much this time.You should at least stay for two more days so that we can treat you well!" Temari said anxiously.
"Although I also want to stay for two more days, the situation in the village is not optimistic now!I can only wait for a chance to come back in the future.But Miss Temari, would you like to go to Konoha with us to play for a few days?" Naruto explained the situation and made an invitation.
"We also need to report this matter to Lord Hokage as soon as possible!" Kakashi added.
"Naruto-kun, the Sand Village is also short of manpower now, so I can't go with you." Temari said to Naruto.
"I have already reported the situation briefly to Hokage-sama, but did not mention the personnel losses of Akatsuki," said Maki.
"Let's go back and report this in person.Akatsuki has been taking frequent actions recently, so we won't be staying here long!" Kakashi said goodbye.
Afterwards, Naruto and his party paid their respects at Grandma Chiyo's tombstone and then set off back to the village.
Gaara watched them go away from the high wall at the entrance of the village.
Soon after, the news of the Sand Ninja reached Konoha via carrier pigeon.
"Lady Tsunade, Chiyo of the Sand Ninja was killed in the battle, and the Kazekage was successfully rescued.Naruto and the others are on their way back." Shizune reported.
"I understand." Tsunade said a little tiredly.
"Well, isn't it inappropriate for Lord Jiraiya to propose placing Naruto on the front line against the Akatsuki organization?It's obvious that what they want is to capture the Jinchūriki!" Shizune hesitated for a moment but couldn't help asking.
"This is the fate of being a Jinchūriki, there is no way to avoid it!Besides, Naruto has incredible potential, and we all believe that he can create miracles!" Tsunade said firmly.
At this time in the Root's secret base, a young man about the same age as Naruto was half-kneeling in front of Danzo.
"I have made arrangements and will now place you in Kakashi's class.Because you are about the same age as Naruto and have an amazing painting heart.From now on your name will be Sai!" Danzo said in a low voice.
"Sai.huh?" He raised his head and looked at Danzo, his face filled with a smile that seemed extremely happy, but it was too stiff.
"Don't give me that fake smile!" Danzo shouted.
"I'm sorry, the textbook says that if you want to gain other people's trust, you must learn to smile first!Although I have practiced, I can't control my facial expressions skillfully yet!" Sai removed his fake smile and said woodenly.
Danzo no longer dwelled on this issue: "From now on, you will terminate all missions and bring Uzumaki Naruto to me as soon as possible!"
He couldn't wait any longer.Naruto had been with Jiraiya for three whole years!Now he just wanted to get Naruto in his hands as soon as possible.
Naruto and his group quickly returned to Konoha because Gai and Rock Lee suddenly started a speed competition, and the others had to keep up.
Naruto was very happy about this, so that he could see Hinata earlier.
Kakashi didn't overuse his Sharingan this time, so he was in good shape.
The group went directly to the Hokage Building to report the situation to Tsunade.
"Sister Tsunade, this time I directly eliminated a member of the Akatsuki organization, and also completed the task of rescuing the Kazekage!This is enough for me to be promoted to Jonin, right?" Naruto said impatiently.
"Is this the reason why you're so excited?Well, based on your performance in this mission, I think those old stubborn people have no reason to stop you." Tsunade thought for a moment and responded.
"Yeah.I knew that Sister Tsunade is the best to me!" Naruto said happily.
"Master, Orochimaru may not be far from his next reincarnation.I'm worried about Sasuke." Sakura hesitated for a long time before finally bringing it up.
"I know you're worried, but it's a pity that there hasn't been any news about Orochimaru for some time!" Tsunade said with a headache.She didn't want to give up Sasuke either.
At this moment, Naruto's alarm clock suddenly gave him an idea, and he remembered a piece of news from the original work.
"I have information about Orochimaru.Seven days from now at noon, Orochimaru will meet with the undercover agent arranged by Scorpion at the Tiandi Bridge in Kusagakure Village!" said Naruto.
"Really?" Sakura's eyes lit up.
"What!How did you get this information?And the time and place are so clear!" Tsunade said in surprise.
"Scorpion told me himself!" Naruto said confidently.
"Scorpion said that!Why didn't I hear it?" Sakura looked at me with a look that said, "Don't lie to me."
"Why would I lie to you?You must have been too nervous to hear me." Naruto confirmed.
"Six days later, the Sky Bridge?What if it's a trap?Using Orochimaru as bait and letting the Akatsuki people inIt's not impossible that they're lying in ambush nearby!" Tsunade analyzed.
"In that case, let's fight them!" Sakura immediately became fearless when it came to Sasuke.
"Lady Tsunade, in this case, why not send other teams?This way, Naruto can be prevented from being caught by them!" Shizune immediately suggested upon seeing this.She had always been against Naruto meeting with the Akatsuki organization.
"No!The ninjas in Akatsuki are not ordinary ninjas.If we send other people, they might get killed by mistake!" Naruto objected immediately.
"Sister Tsunade, I have a suggestion!Actually, we could have kept Deidara this time, but I still lack a ninjutsu!If I can learn that, I will be more confident facing the Akatsuki organization in the future!" Naruto coaxed.
"You kid, so you dug a trap here to wait for me, right?What kind of ninjutsu do you want?" Tsunade said with a smile, as if the fox's tail was finally revealed.
"I want the Flying Thunder God Technique!Not only will my attack methods be more flexible, but if I'm defeated, I can also escape with my teammates, right?" Naruto continued to induce.
"That's a forbidden technique in the Sealed Book.Can you learn it whenever you want?" Tsunade refused immediately.
