Konoha: Naruto From a Wolf

Chapter 173 The Sixth Hokage Candidate [Please subscribe]

Half of the black and white Zetsu's head poked out of the tree trunk, carefully observing the battle not far away.

"Oh, we seem to have created a monster." Bai Zetsu opened his mouth in surprise when he saw that Nagato's casual blow caused such horrific damage.

"Grel's Stone not only replenished his lack of life energy, but also further stimulated the recovery of the Samsara Eye." Black Zetsu's single eye also flashed a hint of solemnity, which was not within the scope of the plan.

"Can A Fei cope with it?"

"……I don't know either."

Tiandao Payne jumped to his companion's side and glanced at her. Xiaonan immediately understood. She waved her white wings and quickly flew away from the battlefield.

"Huh?" Darui looked at this scene, a trace of doubt flashed in his eyes, but without giving him a chance to think, Tiandao Payne raised his right hand.

"Again?!" He turned around and ran away without any hesitation.

"Shinra Tenzheng!"

Boom!

Darui jumped into a hole, and a large amount of soil, gravel, and broken branches rushed in, burying him in it.

"Aren't you going to solve it directly?" Xiao Nan turned his head and looked at Tiandao Payne who was chasing him.

"It's not necessary, our target is the tailed beast." Tiandao Payne shook his head, "Rather than wasting time on him, it is better to extract the tailed beast's chakra quickly."

…

Yaya~

Several vultures hovered in the sky, vigilantly observing the creatures below. From each other's thin body, they felt the fear originating from the source of life.

Those are creatures lower down the food chain, facing the instinctive fear of top predators.

"I probably know why the Akatsuki organization tricked you here." Looking at Sasuke who was collecting the body, Naruto suddenly said.

Bang!

Uchiha Sasuke quickly formed seals with his hands, put his companion's body into the scroll, and turned to look at him.

"Yukito? Or another jinchūriki?"

The only ones who can make such a big move against the Akatsuki organization are the jinchuriki, or the tailed beasts.

"That's Yukito." Naruto nodded slightly, "Just now, the leader of the Akatsuki organization took action personally, and she was already captured."

"Where is the location?"

"In the land of grass."

Uchiha Sasuke fell into deep thought. Since the establishment of the Akatsuki organization, they have become the pillars of the five hidden villages active on the stage of the ninja world. The targets of cleaning are mostly underground organizations that are so evil that it is difficult for a single ninja village to clean up.

But except for the top leaders of the Five Kages and the Five Hidden Villages, few people know that since their ninja team was established, the Five Kage Conference has given them a top-secret mission - to eliminate the Akatsuki organization.

The Akatsuki Organization has indeed been the focus of their work this year, but for some reason, the Akatsuki Organization, which has only been relatively inactive for a long time, has strangely chosen to go dormant.

Coupled with Bai Jue's imperceptible detection ability, the difficulty of their mission has skyrocketed.

I was lucky enough to catch the tail of the Xiao organization several times, but Bai Jue got the information in advance and avoided them.

"Naruto, are there any strange chakra sources around?" Sasuke asked.

The lag in intelligence directly caused him to be led by others, and this feeling made him very unhappy.

Ordinary detective ninjutsu could not find any trace of White Zetsu.

He knew that Naruto possessed the unique ability of the Nine-Tailed Jinchuuriki to sense malice, so he placed his hope on this, hoping to get some unexpected gains.

After Naruto felt it carefully, he shook his head slightly.

"Is it because you knew Naruto's ability that you avoided it in advance?"

Uchiha Sasuke thought in his mind.

His brother told him about Bai Jue's existence. It was impossible to detect the existence of this guy just by relying on the intelligence system of the Five Hidden Villages.

Um?

Naruto's expression moved slightly.

"How's it going?" Thinking he noticed something, Uchiha Sasuke asked quickly.

"It's my own private matter." Naruto stood up, "I may need to go to Konoha, do you want to come with me?"

"No, I still have things to deal with."

Naruto nodded slightly, feeling the Flying Thunder God Technique in the direction of Konoha and disappearing in place.

Hidden Leaf Village.

Shikamaru was lying on the lawn, looking up at the white clouds in the sky boredly, when a black shadow suddenly blocked his sight.

"It's finally over." He stood up straight, "Dad, what's the result?"

"The Jonin have decided through voting, and they will start running for the Sixth Hokage candidate in three months." Nara Shikaku nodded.

"Passed in one try? How many times did I think I had to wade through?"

"There is no way, the Konoha collapse plan launched by Sunagakure has already made us taste the bitter pill of not having a Hokage candidate."

Shikamaru recalled the various overt and secret struggles among the real power faction at that time, and nodded slightly. If Tsunade-sama hadn't stood up at the last moment, I'm afraid the Fifth Hokage would have fallen into the hands of Shimura Danzo.

We cannot rule out the possibility that after Shimura Danzo takes power, Konoha will develop better than it does now.

But compared to Tsunade-sama who has a more sunny style, I am afraid that not many people in Konoha would like the cold Shimura Danzo.

"Jiraiya-sama recommended Uchiha Sasuke, Inuzuka, Sarutobi, and the Shimura clan jointly recommended Kakashi."

"Two places have basically been decided." Shikamaru bit his nails, "There is still one place left."

"How do we push Naruto up?"

"The final quota will be decided at the next Jonin meeting. We still have time to help Naruto build momentum."

Compared with him, Nara Shikaku's expression seemed much more relaxed, as if he had already made a plan in his heart.

"Compared to this, have you informed Naruto?"

"According to his speed, we should be there soon." Shikamaru estimated the time. He informed us in the morning. According to the guy's speed, it probably won't be long.

"Um."

Nara Shikaku nodded. Although his son was a little lazy, he was quite relieved when he got things done.

"You can explain the situation to Naruto later, and I'll try to finish the matter before dinner."

"I will discuss the specific arrangements at that time."

Shikamaru nodded, and after his father's figure disappeared from sight, he lay down on the lawn again.

This kind of leisurely time is extremely rare.

Watching the white clouds floating one after another above his head, his thoughts gradually became distracted.

Sometimes, he really envied Baiyun, who could float carefree in the sky every day without any endless tasks burdening him one after another.

There is no need to consider the responsibilities of chuunin or the family's arrangements for promotion to jounin.

Envy...

"Have you got a sweetheart?" Looking at the longing look on his face, Naruto asked doubtfully.

Shikamaru hurriedly got up from the ground, but suddenly realized that he had done nothing shameful, why was he so scared, and lay back on the lawn again.

"It's been less than two hours. Where were you before?"

Shikamaru asked after looking at the time.

"The Kingdom of Birds." Naruto replied.

"Becoming stronger again..."

Shikamaru was speechless, how could it be that the increase in strength on this guy was as easy as eating and drinking?

"The campaign for the Sixth Hokage has begun..." He told the reasons one by one.
