Naruto the Genius

Chapter 161 What is a Ninja?

Rasengan was raised high in his hand, Naruto was very imposing. The Akatsuki people could not move for the time being and could only let Naruto be arrogant. Hidan was the first to explode, shouting: "Boy, don't underestimate me, the evil god will not let you go." Naruto pointed the Rasengan shuriken at him and said: "I wanted to kill you, but since your real body is not here, I can only vent my anger on the big guy behind you." As he said, Naruto pointed the Rasengan shuriken at the Outer Path Demon Statue. Scorpion suddenly said: "In this case, I will let you see my art, but please wait a moment."

In fact, Scorpion was a little afraid that Naruto would attack directly. As the main person responsible for this mission, even if he finally saved his life, Pein would definitely blame him. Now, they had only one idea, which was to delay time and complete the stripping of the tailed beast. Naruto stopped the Rasengan shuriken in his hand and said, "Since Scorpion, who is known as a genius stylist, wants to delay time, then I will give you face and wait until you finish the task in front of you?"

Originally, they didn't hold much hope for such a delaying tactic, but they didn't expect Naruto to stop, and even then he had seen through it. Pein looked at Naruto below and said, "Uzumaki Naruto, you really surprised us. Can you tell me why?" Naruto looked at Pein, staring at the special pair of reincarnation eyes and said, "Because, I have a question for you, and I think only under this circumstance will you have time to explain it to me."

Pain said, "I see. So what's your question?" Naruto said, "So, what is a ninja to you?" Nagato, who was controlling Pain, began to think deeply about Naruto's question. He was not a simple-minded person who only knew how to kill. He was not the kind of person who was stimulated by emotions and only knew how to achieve some crazy goals. To a certain extent, Nagato also hoped for peace. Naturally, he had to think carefully about Naruto's question.

After a while, Payne began to speak: "In this world, conflicts of interest lead to the continuous occurrence of wars. War is originally an extremely cruel thing, which will bring pain to every country involved. And ninjas are at the center of this pain. Whether it is for the enemy or for themselves, they are the existence that carries this pain. So, for me, ninjas are in this world. People who influence wars and are also affected by wars, and have to endure pain."

Naruto wanted to say something, but he saw that Gaara's chakra had been completely drained, Shukaku of the Sand had entered the Outer Path Demon Statue, and the Phantom Nine Dragon Seal was complete. Gaara also fell to the ground, with only the last breath left, and he would be completely out of breath in another minute.

Pein looked at Naruto and said, "You came here to save him, but now he has been stripped of his tailed beast. Although he still has a breath, he will definitely die. Your mission has failed!" Naruto immediately picked up Gaara and used a secret technique to control Shukaku's chakra in his body. He said to Pein, "Nothing in the world is absolute, just like Gaara, I will definitely save him!"

Pein said: "The Jinchūriki who has been stripped of the tailed beast must die. This is an iron law, and no one can change this fact." While Pein was speaking, Naruto triggered the chakra of Shukaku in his body and injected it into Gaara's body. Although Naruto has not tried to control the power of the tailed beast in his body, it is not a problem to draw out some of the power.

Gaara received a bit of the power of the tailed beast from Naruto, and his body, which was losing vitality, suddenly stabilized. Naruto then used Sameji to inject some chakra into his body, allowing his body to recover quickly. Gaara, who was originally on the verge of death, was still in a coma, but he was no longer in danger. Naruto broke what Pein had just said with his actual actions.

Seeing this, Nagato, who possessed the Rinnegan, was also very surprised. He looked at Gaara on the ground and said, "Uzumaki Naruto, I was wondering why you didn't just save Gaara directly, but wasted time asking me questions. It turns out that you already had a way to save him. What a shocking ability."

Naruto said: "No, the reason why I asked you this is not because I have a way to save him. Rather, I want to save you as well as him. What needs to be saved most is often not a person's body, but a person's heart!" Nagato didn't expect Naruto to have such an idea, and for a moment he was really puzzled, but Naruto's words were obviously not enough to shake him. Nagato said to Naruto: "This is the end of our chat. We will definitely have the opportunity to meet again in the future, Uzumaki Naruto!"

Then, Pein said to the others, "The stripping of the tailed beasts has been completed. Everyone leave. I'll leave this to Sasori and Deidara." The figures of the others disappeared one after another, and Sasori and Deidara also jumped down from the big hand. Pein's figure made a few seals, and the Outer Path Demon Statue also disappeared.

Sasori and Deidara knew Naruto's strength, and they didn't dare to take any action until Naruto took action. Even if Sasori was unwilling to wait, he had to wait patiently in such a life-and-death situation.

Outside the cave, the people from the Kai team finally arrived. Kakashi and the others were looking for the location of the other talismans, and Neji's arrival was like timely help. Using the Byakugan, Neji was able to understand the situation inside the base, which also put Kakashi and Sakura at ease. The next task of finding the talismans was also very easy for the Byakugan, and soon Neji found the locations of the four talismans.

Then, the only thing left was to tear off the talisman paper. Because of Kaiban's arrival, the number of people was no longer a problem. Several people used the radio to communicate and tore off several pieces of talisman paper at the same time, and the barrier was indeed opened. At the same time, Sakura punched the gate with a powerful punch, and the originally very thick stone was smashed to pieces by Sakura after it was no longer protected by the barrier.

Kakashi and Chiyo took the opportunity to enter the cave. Naruto was holding Gaara and checking his physical condition. Sasori and Deidara, who were standing not far from Naruto, did not dare to attack. Naruto handed Gaara to Sakura, who came in later, and stood between Kakashi and Chiyo, releasing a murderous aura towards Sasori and Deidara.

The two of them were not sure about Naruto, and now with Kakashi and the others, they had no chance of winning. Deidara immediately transformed into a big bird, rushed out of the cave first, and flew high into the sky. This move was Deidara's signature skill.
