Konoha: Otsutsuki from the Earth

After hearing Jiraiya's suggestion, Shikaku fell into deep thought.

As a consultant who is deeply trusted by the top management, Shikaku prefers safe choices and prefers to implement strategies that have less risk and will not cause much loss even if they fail.

The purpose of the Akatsuki organization's attack on Konoha was obviously to target Naruto, the Nine-Tailed Jinchuuriki, so it was the safest arrangement for Naruto to stay in the hidden Mt. Myoboku to practice.

However, Jiraiya's suggestion reminded him of what Tsunade had said to him before leaving: "Although our goal is to protect Naruto, we can also let Naruto join the battlefield when necessary. He is no longer

A child, but a trusted Konoha ninja, we should trust him."

After hearing that the two "Sannin" expressed their trust in Naruto, Shikaku also decided to believe in Jiraiya and Tsunade's decision, and in Naruto.

"Since Lord Jiraiya has said so, I agree to summon Naruto back to Konoha." Shikaku announced his decision.

"Huh?!" Shizune said with some surprise after hearing Shikaku's decision, "In that case, is it really okay? What if..."

"Both Tsunade-sama and Jiraiya-sama have chosen to believe in Naruto. We have no reason to doubt Naruto's strength." After making up his mind, Shikaku seemed relaxed, "What's more, we also need more strength now.

That’s a lot of fighting power, isn’t it?”

"But..." Seeing Shikaku's determined look, Shizune had no choice but to sigh, "Well, you are the one who is arranging the battle."

"Then I'll channel him back! That boy should be very happy." Jiraiya took out a scroll from his body, unfolded it and spread it on the ground, and formed a seal with his hands, "The art of reverse channeling!"

Peng! Along with a puff of smoke, a Toad Immortal stood on his shoulder. Naruto, wearing a long red coat and carrying a huge scroll, appeared in the Hokage's office.

"Naruto?"

Seeing Naruto for the first time in a long time, Sakura was about to step forward to say hello, but she felt an inexplicable powerful aura from Naruto, which made her breath stop.

As if sensing Sakura's thoughts, Naruto turned his back to Sakura and greeted: "Young! Long time no see, Sakura! Long time no see, everyone!"

"Long time no see, Naruto." Shino said silently with his hands in his pockets, "You seem to have become stronger. If you ask why, it's because the parasites in my body have become restless..."

Seemingly not hearing Shino's words, Naruto asked Sakura seriously: "Sakura, I sensed several huge chakras in the village, and it seems that there is also Sasuke's chakra. Is he back?"

Facing Naruto's question, Sakura glanced at Naruto's "toad eyes" with orange eyeshadow, lowered her head and said nothing.

"...I see, I understand." Naruto turned to Shikaku and said, "Uncle Shikaku, can you hand Sasuke over to me?"

Shikaku glanced at Jiraiya, nodded and said, "No problem, Zuosuke's position is not far away. I'll ask the ANBU to take you there..."

"No need, I can sense his chakra, I'll go there now." Naruto said and set off immediately.

"Wait, it's too dangerous for you to go alone, at least..." Shikaku stopped him.

"Don't worry, it'll be fine with me here, little Naruto." Fukasaku Sage replied on Naruto's shoulder.

Looking at Naruto's disappearing back, Jiraiya said helplessly: "Really, he's become a sage, but he's still so frizzy... Let's set off quickly."

Shikaku said: "Please, Lord Jiraiya."

Whoa! Everyone in the beheading team immediately teleported to the roof of the Hokage Building.

Whether it was Naruto or Jiraiya, the first thing they did when they came outside was to turn their attention to the two giant creatures in the forest of death in the distance, who were fighting hand to hand.

Feeling the occasional vibrations under his feet, Jiraiya sighed: "It's really an exaggeration. How terrifying it would be if that kind of attack landed in the village."

"Jiraiya-sama, do we really not need to help Senior Brother Qi Fei?" Sakura asked with some worry.

"Don't worry, that kid is more than that, just trust him." Jiraiya, who was running at the front, said, "Our task now is to kill Nagato, the leader of the Akatsuki organization, as soon as possible."

"yes!"

On the other end, Naruto relied on his senses to reach a remote underground entrance. Along the way, there were bodies of various "root" ninjas and ANBU lying scattered.

Turning the corner, deep in the extremely dark corridor, Naruto relied on his extraordinary eyesight to see an extremely familiar figure in the distance: "Zosuke..."

"Naruto?"

In front of Zuosuke, the original corridor seemed as smooth and empty as if someone had dug it out with a spoon. As if he felt Naruto's presence, Zuosuke turned his head and said, "I didn't expect you to come."

"Sasuke, you..." Seeing that Sasuke's original three-magatama Sharingan turned into a cherry blossom pattern like a six-pointed star, Naruto asked in surprise, "Why do you want to hurt people in the village? Why?"

"Because I learned the truth, I decided to kill all the high-level officials of Konoha." Covering his cheek with blood and tears, Zuosuke said happily, "Now one has been solved, and the next one is hiding in the Hokage Building.

Those two old immortals."

Dong! Removed the scroll from behind and stood beside him. Naruto looked at Zuosuke and said: "Zosuke, there must be some misunderstanding. I will not let you continue to fall into the darkness. We will always be members of Team 7."

Member, I will definitely bring you back."

"Hahahaha!" Zuosuke covered his eyes and laughed, "Impossible! I have already killed Danzo, and Konoha and I will not let each other go. Although I don't want to take action against you, if you want

If you stop me, I will kill you too."

"Even so, I will bring you back." Feeling the gradually cold chakra on Zuosuke's body, Naruto knew that Zuosuke could only "physically persuade" now.

Drop of winter~A drop of water dripped from the ceiling on Naruto's forehead.

Then, countless water droplets condensed on Naruto's forehead and formed the figure of a white-haired young man. His thick arm waved a big knife and chopped at Naruto's head: "You are not allowed to hinder Zuosuke!"

Cang! The sharp beheading sword struck Naruto's raised elbow and broke on the spot.

"What?!"

While Suigetsu was surprised, Naruto put one hand on the upright scroll, flew up and whipped Suigetsu in mid-air, and kicked him directly from mid-air to the corner of the wall.

"Ugh!" Shuiyue's body smashed directly into the surrounding walls, and he didn't even have time to use the "Water Transformation Technique".

"Rasengan!"

Before Suigetsu could breathe a sigh of relief, Naruto who landed on the ground raised his hand to form a seal, and a shadow clone rushed out instantly, holding the Rasengan and shooting towards Suigetsu's location.

Boom! The wall around Shuiyue shattered and collapsed, and water splashed everywhere. The shadow clone after the attack did not disappear, but looked to the side corner.

"Huh~ I almost died. Isn't this guy a little too strong?" In the corner, the scattered water splashes gradually condensed into the shape of a water moon.

"Does it have the same ability as Qi Fei?" Looking at Suigetsu's moves, Naruto directly thought of Qi Fei's commonly used "elementary" moves.

"Stay back, Shuiyue, I will handle that guy."

From a distance, seeing Naruto being able to seize the moment when Suigetsu materialized the attack and counterattack, he couldn't help but sigh: "You have become stronger, Naruto."
