Naruto the Genius

Chapter 171 Sai
The two ninjas guarding the door of Konoha suddenly felt the ground shaking strongly, and they looked in the direction of the sound. They saw two people coming in a cloud of dust, and they were Gai and Kakashi. This was obviously not the first time, and the two guarding the door quickly made way. Gai drove at the highest speed and shouted, "Final sprint, Kakashi, I will definitely win this time." Kakashi was not to be outdone, and he sped up and sprinted. In the end, Gai rushed through the door first with a slight advantage, and shouted, "First place!"

Kakashi rushed past the finish line, stopped, and said lazily, "Second place." Then, another figure rushed over from behind, it was Lee. When he rushed past the finish line, Lee shouted happily, "Third place!" At this time, Naruto walked out of Konoha Village and said, "No, all of your rankings will be pushed back one place. Although it's a pity, I still have to tell you that I have already put away my luggage and walked out."

Xiao Li said: "You are indeed a genius. In the end, you still took the first place. I will work harder." Then, Tenten, Sakura, and Neci came together. Tenten said: "It seems that we are not too slow." Sakura looked at Naruto and said: "Naruto is indeed the first place." Naruto smiled at Sakura, and when he looked at Neci again, he felt that Neci was relieved and stood there speechless.

After this passionate competition, several people went to the Hokage's office to report the situation to Tsunade. In addition to reporting the situation of Akatsuki in detail, Sakura also brought back a piece of news, which was what Scorpion said at the end. "Ten days later, at the Tiandi Bridge in Kusagakure Village, we will meet with the spies planted by Orochimaru." To be honest, it is difficult to tell the authenticity of this news. However, Konoha must not give up such a clue easily, and still prepare to arrange the task.

Unlike the previous mission of just supporting, this time the mission will come into contact with Orochimaru, which may be more dangerous. And now, the main problem is that Kakashi's class has only three members, not a complete organization. For such a problem, Tsunade must add a new member. However, the personnel of other classes are basically fixed now. If you want to add new personnel, you can only choose from the Anbu. Since Tsunade took over as Hokage, there are not many ninjas that she can trust from the bottom of her heart. There are also certain difficulties in the arrangement of personnel, which requires careful consideration.

At this time, at the root of Konoha, Danzo called a young ninja and said, "I have arranged everything. You are about the same age as Uzumaki Naruto, so you will join the team that Uzumaki Naruto is in from now on. Among your peers, you are already very good. However, you need to pay attention that Uzumaki Naruto is better than you. In fact, he already has stronger strength than most Kages. No matter what the situation, try not to conflict with him. From now on, your name will be Sai."

The young ninja in front of Danzo nodded and said, "Yes, Danzo-sama!" He kept smiling while speaking. Danzo looked at his smile and said, "Don't put on that fake smile in front of me." The ninja said, "I'm sorry, Danzo-sama, I read in a book that smiling can bring people closer together." Then he put away his smile and became expressionless.

Tsunade was considering candidates when two advisors from Konoha came over. Advisor Koharu said, "Tsunade, I heard that you are going to send Uzumaki Naruto, who is a Jinchūriki, to carry out a mission. You must know about Akatsuki. Naruto has a special status and cannot go out on a mission." Naruto said, "Although he is a Jinchūriki, Naruto is extremely powerful and has performed very well in many battles. Moreover, Naruto is now a Jonin, so it is natural for him to go out on a mission." Advisor Koharu added, "If it weren't for Akatsuki, there might not be a problem. Akatsuki's people are extremely powerful, and Naruto's team is said to have personnel shortages, which is absolutely not allowed."

Tsunade seemed to have sensed that the two had something to say, so she said directly, "Just tell me what you two have to say!" Koharu and the other man looked at each other and said, "Our request is very simple. If Uzumaki Naruto wants to continue to go out on missions, the members of Kakashi's team will be decided by us." Tsunade had no idea how many times she had encountered something like this. Although she was very unwilling, she finally nodded helplessly and said, "Okay, let's do as you say."

Seeing Tsunade nod in agreement, the two men seemed to have been prepared and said, "Danzo, come in." Tsunade was still unhappy as always when she saw this person. Tsunade had always disliked many of Danzo's practices. If the personnel this time were arranged by Danzo, then the purpose was self-evident. However, since she had already agreed, Tsunade had no choice but to let Danzo's people come in.

Danzo said, "Princess Tsunade, I haven't seen you for a while." Tsunade also looked at Danzo and said, "Since it's you, I see, the new member is a ninja from the Root of Anbu." Several people were in the meeting room of Konoha and basically finalized the matter. Although they were very dissatisfied with Danzo's monitoring of Naruto, they didn't have much to do.

Naruto came out of the Hokage's office and took some time to meet his companions in Konoha. Hinata, Kiba, Shino and others were in the village. They hadn't seen each other for a while, so they chatted with each other. Time passed quickly while they played around. Because they all had to go out to perform other tasks, Naruto said goodbye to them and walked alone on the road. Unexpectedly, he met Shikamaru again soon, and he didn't know why Shikamaru was wandering on the street.

After a brief greeting with Shikamaru, Naruto saw a person sitting on a very high roof in Konoha. If Naruto guessed correctly, it was Sai, one of Danzo's men. Naruto did not expect Sai to appear in this way. However, this time Sai did not launch an attack. It seems that he has already known Naruto's strength and dare not be arrogant.

Naruto just glanced at him intentionally or unintentionally, and continued to chat with Shikamaru. At this time, Choji also came over. He and Shikamaru have a very good relationship. They are in the same class and often spend time together. Fatty's mind is usually kind. As soon as he saw Naruto, Choji greeted Naruto happily. Not long after, Ino also came over. She was very happy to see Naruto and shouted directly: "Naruto." At the same time, she ran over happily.
