Konoha: Otsutsuki from the Earth

"What about Sasuke?" Kakashi's serious expression gave Naruto a bad feeling from the bottom of his heart.

"Well." Kakashi looked directly at Naruto and said, "Because Sasuke killed Danzo, the village is planning to officially list Sasuke as a traitorous nin of Konoha Village, and a wanted order should be issued tomorrow.

"

"Rebel nin?" Naruto knew very well what the word "Rebel Ninja" meant. He recalled the rebel Ninja Zabuza of Kirigakure Village whom he had met, and what Kakashi had described to them at that time as a rebel Ninja.

end.

The rebellious ninjas in each village not only have to face the assassination troops of each village at all times, but also have to be wary of the ubiquitous bounty hunters in the ninja world. At the same time, they also have to guard against other rebellious ninjas. No one can guarantee whether the other party will attack them.

The bounty generated interest. After all, the village was only interested in the corpse of the traitorous ninja, and it didn't matter who killed it.

Although Naruto felt that with Zuosuke's strength, others basically couldn't do anything to him.

However, the previous battle made him keenly aware that something was wrong with Zuosuke's condition. His strength and body seemed to be weakened for some reason, so Zuosuke's safety could not be guaranteed.

Kakashi's words made Naruto sit there blankly, not even touching his favorite ramen, and fell into a deep tangle in his heart.

Naruto has always wanted to bring Zuosuke back to the village, but now that Zuosuke has been classified as a rebel ninja, the possibility of returning to the village has basically been cut off. And if Zuosuke, a rebel ninja, is killed by others, Naruto will

I ask myself, I will definitely try my best to avenge Zuosuke...

"What should I do?" Naruto finally said to himself.

I thought that Naruto would be so excited that he went to find Tsunade. Kakashi prepared countless words of persuasion in his heart, but he didn't expect that Naruto would fall into such a strange silence. To be honest, this made Kakashi uncomfortable.

Worried even more.

With a sad look on his face, he looked at Qi Fei, who had been eating noodles next to him, to see if he had any ideas. After all, Qi Fei and Naruto had a pretty good relationship.

"Hugh~ We are indeed short of ingredients. Why is the soup today a bit watery? Is the boss reluctant to add salt?" Qi Fei pretended to be stupid and ate the ramen, ignoring Kakashi's look for help.

"Oh~ I really have to say it myself..." It seemed that he was going to die, so Kakashi had no choice but to accept his fate.

He said to Naruto: "Naruto, you don't need to worry, this is not your fault. Since Zuosuke attacked the village, this consequence is inevitable. Although he was once a member of Team 7, but...

…”

As he said that, even Kakashi himself became entangled. Thinking of Team 7, which was enjoying themselves again not long ago, he didn't even want to say the words "Sasuke is no longer a member of Team 7" in front of Naruto. At least.

He didn't want to say it in front of Naruto.

"I know, Kakashi-sensei. In fact, when Zuosuke and I fought, we both went into our own hearts. I could feel the hatred and helplessness in his heart. Unfortunately, Zuosuke was not willing to say more to me.

What……

"And after Zuosuke was captured before, the Lustful Immortal and Qi Fei both told me this worst-case scenario, but I didn't believe it at first."

"That……"

"Now I still have the same answer as before: I will definitely bring Zuosuke back!" Naruto declared firmly, "If I can't bring my companion back, I am not worthy of becoming Hokage."

Naruto's idea was simple and straightforward. As long as he brought Zuosuke back to Konoha before everyone killed him, all conflicts would be avoided. And as long as he was there, he didn't need to worry about Zuosuke being raped by others.

Kill. As for the issue of betrayal, we can wait until Zuosuke is actually brought back to the village.

"That's it!" Kakashi looked at Naruto who had regained his energy, and did not choose to interrupt, but smiled and agreed with his decision.

After all, everyone has their own solution. Since Naruto still maintains hope and goals, the best thing to do as a teacher is to firmly support him behind him.

But for the battle-hardened Kakashi, if Zuosuke really doesn't cooperate and continues to deepen his sins, he will definitely choose to clean up the family.

"I didn't expect that it would end up like this in the end. Third generation, did you feel the same way at the beginning?"

Kakashi couldn't help but think of the former Third Hokage. His relationship with Orochimaru was similar to Kakashi's current situation. As an apprentice, he chose to betray Konoha. As for the student who finally killed him, Kakashi hoped that he

Don't fall into that situation.

"That's true, but if you want to reach that point, your current strength is not enough."

Putting the finished empty bowl on the table, Qi Fei said: "I think you should have discovered that the gap in strength between you and Zuosuke is still a bit big now. If it weren't for the battle between Zuosuke and Danzo that consumed so much

With your strength, the two of you might not have been a draw in the previous battle."

"That's right..." After hearing Qi Fei's words, Naruto just nodded silently.

"Next time you see Zuosuke, he will definitely become stronger. If you don't think of ways to improve your strength, you still can't bring Zuosuke back with your current situation. Strength is the reason for you to achieve your goals."

"That's right, I should continue to practice and improve my strength now!" Agreeing with Qi Fei's words, Naruto became full of energy again and ate the cold ramen again, "I want to be full quickly.

, I will go find the lustful immortal to practice in a moment. Teacher Kakashi, please come and help me improve my strength!"

"Okay, no problem!" Kakashi replied with a smile. At the same time, he silently gave Qi Fei a thumbs up, thanking Qi Fei for successfully diverting Naruto's attention.

[Don’t be too happy, there is a little Sakura waiting for you. I won’t go over and join in the fun.]

After paying for them to settle the bill, Qi Fei left Ichiraku Ramen and returned to his dormitory to rest.

A few days later, members of the joint investigation team sent by other villages arrived in Konoha Village one after another, injecting new vitality into the originally negative and depressed village.

Moreover, the lineups sent by other villages this time were far more luxurious than previously discussed. For example, Yunyin Village, in addition to Xi and Daruyin, also sent the Sam Yin team from the original work; Yanyin Village, in addition to Red Earth and Black Earth

, dispatched Onoki’s son, Kurotsuchi’s father, Huangtu...

The reason is that after the Kage from other villages returned, they also received news that Konoha Village was attacked by the Akatsuki organization. Considering the damage caused by this attack, everyone made the decision to "defend the enemy from outside."

Send more people to support Konoha, and at the same time limit the battle and battlefield to the Fire Country. In this way, you only lose some people in exchange for peace in your village. This deal is very cost-effective.

At the same time, Tsunade also happened to need more manpower to deal with the attack of the Akatsuki organization. The interests and demands of all parties were consistent, and such a situation was achieved.
