Naruto the Genius

Chapter 203 News about Sanwei

After killing Hidan and Kakuzu without much loss, the group happily returned to Konoha. The first thing Shikamaru did when he returned to Konoha was to meet Asuma and return the chakra knife to him. Naruto and Sakura took a walk together and wandered around Konoha Village. Only Kakashi had to report to Tsunade, but fortunately, the mission was successfully completed this time, and Tsunade was also very happy.

In contrast, it was not good news for Akatsuki. Not only did the plan to capture the Jinchūriki fail, but they also lost two people. For Akatsuki, which had a small number of people, this was already a loss of a lot of combat power. When Pein received this news, although he still looked calm, he was actually shocked by Konoha's strength.

Naruto finally had some free time again, so he naturally wanted to go to Chunlai Villa. Compared to before, Naruto only met some more important people here. Although Naruto is the spiritual core of Chunlai Villa, he doesn't show up very often. Chunlai Villa has been completely on the right track, and Naruto doesn't need to worry too much. What Naruto pays most attention to is the top talents of Chunlai Villa.

In Naruto's office, Tianyu was summoned by Naruto. Tianyu, who was in the lower position, bowed to Naruto and said, "Master, may I ask what you want me to do?" Naruto smiled and said, "Tianyu, don't be too reserved. There is no one else here. But speaking of it, you are quite quick." Tianyu said, "Because I heard that the master of the manor was back, I hurried over to see him."

Naruto nodded. Tianyu still had deep feelings for Naruto. When he was in the most difficult time, it was Naruto who gave him everything he has now. Motioning Tianyu to sit down, Naruto asked, "When will Hongye and the others come?" Tianyu said, "They are already waiting outside. They will come in soon. It depends on the owner's opinion."

Naruto said, "In that case, let them come in right now." Tianyu had just informed them when several people rushed in. They all bowed to Naruto, and Naruto said, "You don't have to be polite, just sit down first." Hearing what Naruto said, Dali sat down carelessly. Hongye and Xiaofen sat down next to Naruto, looking very close.

Naruto said: "It's been a while since we last met. You all should know that I'm very busy. It's my negligence that I don't have much time to guide you." Tianyu immediately said: "No, the manor owner has given us so much. Everything we have is given by the manor owner, and the manor owner has also guided us in our training. It's really..." When Tianyu said these words, everyone else was deeply touched and had the same idea as Tianyu.

Naruto interrupted Tianyu and said, "We are a family, there is no need to say more. This time I came back mainly to see your strength. I hope you have not been lazy during my absence." Dali said, "During this period, we have been practicing hard every day and constantly improving our actual combat abilities. We have made a lot of progress compared to before."

Naruto said: "No matter what, it still depends on your strength. I'll wait for you at the training ground." With that, Naruto disappeared and came to the largest training ground in the villa. Several people followed.

Naruto stood in the middle of the training ground and said, "Let's start with the strongest among you." Several people looked at each other, and finally Hongye stepped forward and said, "Let me go first." Naruto thought to himself, "Although the others are also good at training, Hongye still has the best talent in the end."

Hongye created a shadow clone, and both the main body and the shadow clone began to quickly form hand seals "Wind Style, Tornado", "Fire Style, Dragon Fire Technique", and combined ninjutsu "Tornado Gale". A huge fire tornado was immediately formed, and in terms of power, it was no less powerful than Naruto's normal ninjutsu. Naruto smiled and said, "Not bad, this ninjutsu is pretty good." Naruto also quickly formed hand seals and used a water tornado to block Hongye's ninjutsu. But Hongye reacted quickly and immediately performed the next ninjutsu, and also coordinated the attack with physical techniques. In order to test her strength, Naruto did not use ninjutsu such as Sage Mode and Flying Thunder God. The two fought back and forth for a long time, and Hongye's chakra still did not show any signs of being insufficient. If she mastered the Sage Mode, Hongye might be able to surpass the average shadow immediately.

After the test, Naruto also gave guidance on Hongye's shortcomings and was about to test the other people. Naruto received news from the clone who stayed in Konoha, which was the tailed beast that Naruto had been paying attention to. Naruto said to the others, "That's all for today. I have something important to deal with. You all need to practice harder." After smiling at the others, Naruto disappeared.

Dali said, "Really? It's the same as last time. I haven't shown my strength yet." Hongye said, "The owner of the manor has a lot of things to do. It's not easy for him to take time to teach us. Are you dissatisfied with him?" He waved his fist. Dali waved his hand and said, "No, I was just talking. I don't mean to blame the owner at all."

Naruto had returned to Konoha at this time. An Anbu of Konoha risked his life to find Orochimaru's base, and Kurenai Yuhi was pregnant again. Kakashi had taken Kiba, Hinata, and Shino to investigate Orochimaru's base. Naruto could roughly guess the result of the investigation, and this time he should meet the legendary Crystal Release Ninja. Sure enough, Tsunade soon began to gather members of Kakashi's team.

Because Kakashi had been sent out, Yamato was still the captain this time. As if she had a premonition of what would happen, Tsunade asked Yamato and Naruto not to go out for the time being, and to transfer Sakura back as soon as possible to prevent any unexpected situations from happening.

Orochimaru certainly attaches great importance to the tailed beasts and will definitely send an elite team to the area. In order to successfully control the three-tailed beast, Orochimaru specially sent Kabuto Yakushi to retrieve the leader of one of the strongholds. Not only that, he also asked her to lead some of his men. She wanted the monsters in the stronghold to fight each other, bring out the remaining ones, and then destroy the stronghold. This is the destroyed stronghold that Kakashi and his team found before.

Kakashi and others have been searching for the enemy's traces. Shino's ninjutsu has the largest search range, releasing a large number of insects. Fortunately, they happened to encounter a crystal escape ninja performing ninjutsu, and Shino's insects were also hit.

Following this clue, Kakashi and others found Shino's bug and also found transparent crystals. Shino's bug had also turned into crystals. But one of Shino's bugs was lucky enough to survive, and Shino had to go find it. Kakashi called Parker to send the crystals back to Konoha for testing, and he led the team to continue looking for Orochimaru's base.
