Naruto the Genius

Chapter 223 News about Sasuke

Kakashi and Yamato, as captains, brought the news of the Three-Tails back to Konoha. Tsunade frowned and said, "So, the Three-Tails is likely to have been taken away by Akatsuki." Kakashi said, "Of course, it is not ruled out that other big countries intervened and captured the Three-Tails when we were not paying attention." Tsunade said, "Anyway, this is not good news for us."

Only Naruto knew that most of the Three-Tails' chakra was in his body. Not only that, Naruto also possessed the chakra of other tailed beasts. The only thing missing now was the chakra of the Six-Tails. Naruto was thinking: "What would happen if the chakras of all nine tailed beasts were gathered? Would their strength be greatly enhanced?" Although Wood Release could suppress the power of the tailed beasts, Naruto had not yet tried to seize the Nine-Tails' power. For the time being, the power of Senjutsu was enough.

The Three-Tails incident had not been over for long, and Naruto was preparing to take further action. Tsunade received a piece of news, and summoned Kakashi and others for this purpose. Tsunade sat behind her desk and said, "It is said that Orochimaru is dead." This news was also explosive news to many people in Konoha. Jiraiya, who was standing next to Tsunade, had obviously heard it first, and his face changed because of it. Kakashi said, "Then, who killed Orochimaru..."

When Kakashi asked, everyone else stared at Tsunade, looking forward to her answer. Tsunade said, "It is said that Uchiha Sasuke killed Orochimaru." Jiraiya said, "The source of the information is very reliable, and it is definitely correct."

Naruto said: "Orochimaru has always wanted to get Sasuke's body, but now he was killed by Sasuke. After so much effort, he still didn't get the Sharingan. But on the other hand, Sasuke is safe now." Sakura said: "So, where is Sasuke now? He shouldn't return to Konoha so soon." Jiraiya nodded and said: "Indeed, Sasuke's purpose is revenge, and he is probably looking for Uchiha Itachi now."

Naruto adjusted his hair out of habit and said, "I didn't expect that I would have to fight Itachi again so soon. Granny Tsunade, the personnel for this mission should have been basically determined, so I will go back to prepare first." As he said that, Naruto was about to leave, but when he noticed Jiraiya beside him, Naruto immediately stopped, walked up to Jiraiya and said, "Teacher Jiraiya, I'm afraid you will have to carry out a very dangerous mission this time. Although it's just collecting intelligence, in fact, there will definitely be many opportunities to fight with the enemy. Am I right, Jiraiya teacher?"

Jiraiya put on a nonchalant expression and said, "If it's dangerous, it's nothing compared to you guys who are fighting Akatsuki directly. You are the ones who need to be more careful, you don't have to worry about my affairs." Naruto knew that Jiraiya might not be telling the truth, so he shook his head and walked in front of Jiraiya. Naruto stretched out his hand and patted Jiraiya on the shoulder, and a small seed drilled into Jiraiya's skin. After doing this, Naruto said, "This makes me feel a little more at ease. Don't force yourself, Jiraiya-sensei."

Jiraiya smiled and said, "Your worries are unnecessary. Don't treat me as an old man. I'm more energetic than you." Naruto walked out of the office and said, "Okay, I'll go back and prepare." The others also left one after another, leaving only Jiraiya and Tsunade.

Soon, a team arranged by Tsunade set off. In addition to Kakashi, Sakura, Sai, and Yamato, there were also Shino, Kiba, and Hinata who were good at tracking.

Everyone followed the previous intelligence and after arriving at a place, Kakashi asked everyone to stop and said: "From now on, in order to improve the efficiency of tracking, we will act separately." Naruto said: "Both Sasuke and Itachi are very strong. If the scattered individuals meet, wouldn't it be very dangerous?" Kakashi said: "I have thought about this a long time ago, so." Kakashi made hand seals and called out his summoned beasts, eight ninja dogs.

Kakashi said, "Everyone act with the ninja dog. If anything happens, you can ask the ninja dog to contact me immediately. To prevent accidents, Sai, Sakura, and Shino, each take two. I will take one. Kiba already has Akamaru. Yamato and Hinata are in a group, so take one as well. As for Naruto, you act alone." Kiba has always been unwilling to admit defeat, and shouted, "Why is he the only one who doesn't want to take a ninja dog? Even if he is a jonin, his sense of smell is not sensitive." Shino said, "Naruto really doesn't need it. If you ask why, Naruto himself has excellent strength, and Naruto's perception ability is also very good. If we take a ninja dog, it may affect the speed."

Kiba wanted to continue arguing, but Shino said, "Kiba, stop talking. What I said just now has made everyone here more supportive of Naruto. If you continue, more people will oppose you." Kiba snorted, very dissatisfied. Kakashi said, "Whether it's Itachi or Sasuke, notify me immediately if you find either of them. Try not to fight. Our goal is to capture Itachi or Sasuke alive." With Kakashi's shout, everyone immediately started to act separately.

After walking a distance, Naruto used the Sage Mode to sense the surroundings and said, "At this time, Sasuke should also be in trouble. In addition to Itachi, there should be other people who want to deal with him on the Akatsuki side. Let's not disturb him for now." As he said that, Naruto simply made a seal, made a small wooden house on the ground, and went to sleep. Lying on the bed, Naruto said, "Sasuke should have formed a team, and the members should still be the same. In the end, I'm afraid he will still have to fight Deidara. I deliberately left Deidara to you."

At this time, Deidara was looking for trouble with Sasuke. After Pein told the members of Akatsuki that Orochimaru was dead and that it was Sasuke who killed Orochimaru, Deidara was very upset. According to him, Sasuke was not only Itachi's brother, but also killed his original target Orochimaru. No matter how he looked at him, he felt that Sasuke was not pleasing to the eye.

Therefore, now he and the masked man Afei are looking for Sasuke. Using the ability to fly in the air, Deidara quickly found Sasuke. The masked man jumped off Deidara's bird and stood directly in front of Sasuke. While Sasuke's attention was focused on Afei, Deidara launched an attack.

Sasuke's figure disappeared in the explosion, but how could such an explosion hurt Sasuke? He was surrounded by a big snake, blocking Deidara's attack.
