Naruto the Genius

Chapter 281: Alliance with Eight-Tails
Hinata's strength was not only recognized by Tsunade, but also by Koharu and Kado En who came to watch the game. They could see that Tsunade did not let Hinata off at all, and Hinata's strength could be said to have surpassed Hiashi by a lot. This was all because Naruto gave Samehada to Hinata. Originally, it was a chakra-dominated technique, and when the chakra became stronger, the effect of the technique would be greatly enhanced.

After confirming Kakashi and Hinata Hyuga, Tsunade said, "So, two members of the team have been confirmed, and the other member will be chosen from among the outstanding jonin of Konoha." Naruto said, "The guy who calls himself Madara has not taken any action for such a long time. There must be some big conspiracy. We must choose the strongest team member." Tsunade nodded and said, "Indeed, so the ninjas of Konoha will give priority to your choice." Naruto said, "But I don't plan to choose a ninja from Konoha."

When Naruto said this, Tsunade frowned. If she formed a team with ninjas from other countries, there would be too many variables and it might cause big trouble. Men Yan said, "Are you going to choose a ninja from the Wind Country? Not to mention that we have to get the consent of the Wind Shadow, we must also consider it carefully." Naruto shook his head and said, "No, I didn't choose a ninja from the Wind Country, but Killer Bee from the Lightning Country, the Eight-Tails' Jinchuriki."

After these words were spoken, Tsunade did not react much. She had already had a hunch before, but she did not expect Naruto to really choose the Eight-Tails' Jinchuriki. Koharu said, "We should still consider such matters carefully. Although the Land of Lightning obeys our leadership on the surface, it is not the case in reality. Besides, the Raikage may not send the Eight-Tails to fight."

"The Raikage has agreed to let the Eight-Tails take on the challenge." Shikaku said as he walked in from the door. Shikaku had come in to report the situation, and happened to run into a few people discussing the Eight-Tails. Naruto said, "There aren't many ninjas who are strong enough to fight against Akatsuki. I'm afraid Akatsuki will use the power of the other tailed beasts this time. The power of the tailed beasts is unimaginable. I guess only the tailed beasts can resist them."

Shikaku said: "I agree with Naruto's point of view. I don't know what Akatsuki is planning now. The terrifying number of white monsters before has also disappeared. Next, they will probably launch a technique against Naruto, and the Eight-Tails of the Land of Lightning is also their target. From the standpoint of protecting the tailed beasts, we are the same as Kumogakure, and there is no need to worry about whether they are willing to cooperate."

Shikaku is indeed Konoha's genius military strategist. With just a few simple words, he has already pointed out the key to the problem, and Tsunade and others also agree with his analysis. Then the only thing left is to discuss the team members with the Raikage. But it is certain that the Raikage will be very happy to agree to this matter. For Kumogakure, the stronger the team is, the safer the Eight-Tails will be. It is impossible for Kumogakure to form such a team alone.

After all the problems were solved, Naruto, Kakashi, Hinata, and Killer Bee finally formed a team. Judging from the strength of the team members, it can be said that it is unprecedented. Kakashi is the weakest in the team. In fact, the main reason why Naruto wanted to bring Kakashi along was because of Kamui.

If Obito keeps using Kamui to dodge, he will have to rely on Kakashi's Mangekyō Sharingan in the end. Obito, wearing a new mask, has already set off, and a large number of White Zetsu also begin to attack. However, this time, their target is no longer the Kumogakure side, but the coalition led by Konoha.

White Zetsu was still walking underground, intending to attack the Fire Nation through the nearby Hot Spring Nation. However, with Konoha's excellent perception ability, it was not difficult to detect such a large-scale action. However, such a large number still frightened the ninja in charge of perception, and he immediately ran over to report to Tsunade and others.

Upon learning of this situation, Tsunade said, "The coalition forces on the Konoha side will set off immediately. Jiraiya and the Kazekage will go to fight in person. In addition, Naruto will lead the strongest four-man team that has just been formed and set off with Jiraiya. We must completely destroy the enemy!" The situation was urgent and everyone did not say anything extra. They all did as Tsunade said.

Naruto also led the four-member team. Unlike Kakashi and Hinata, Killer Bee was not a ninja from Konoha. Before this, Konoha and Kumogakure had fought many wars, and the relationship between the two sides was not good at all. In fact, in a sense, there were some personal grudges between Naruto and Killer Bee. If it weren't for the fact that Killer Bee didn't hold grudges, it is estimated that this team would become very disunited.

This time, Naruto, who is younger than Kakashi, was appointed as the captain, and Kakashi had no objection to this. While leading the team forward, Naruto said, "From now on, I will always be aware of the enemy's presence. We will lie in ambush and try to gain an advantageous position. Before that, we may have some personal grudges, but I don't want it to affect the cooperation between the teams."

As he said this, Naruto looked at Killer Bee. Killer Bee naturally understood what Naruto meant and started another rap, which basically meant that they should put aside their past grudges and join forces to defeat Akatsuki. Hinata suddenly said, "The enemy is very close and will soon reach directly below us. What should we do?"

Naruto created several shadow clones and said, "I will take care of digging out the enemies. You will be responsible for destroying the enemies I dug up." Naruto and his clones joined forces and began to form seals. "Earth escape, super earth excavation", and by performing it together with his clones, several craters appeared and a large number of White Zetsu spewed out of them.

What surprised Naruto was that the number of White Zetsu seemed to be more than expected. It was very likely that Akatsuki had hidden and created some White Zetsu before. Although there were a lot of these White Zetsu, their strength was not particularly strong, just the level of ordinary ninjas. Killer Bee took advantage of the situation and used a Tailed Beast Ball, and a large number of White Zetsu became cannon fodder. The power was no less than Naruto's combined ninjutsu.

This move greatly boosted morale, and the other ninjas who had been hiding before also immediately joined in. Naruto immediately used earth escape technique to build fortifications, and combined it with wood escape technique to make the fortifications more solid. With Naruto's current chakra, these were simply a piece of cake.

Naruto created several more clones, and prepared to take the opportunity to destroy a large number of White Zetsu to relieve the pressure on Konoha. Naruto had reason to believe that as long as he used his combined ninjutsu, he could destroy a large number of White Zetsu in an instant. Just as Naruto was about to destroy White Zetsu, a figure suddenly appeared out of nowhere and blocked Naruto's way. It was the masked man with a new mask.
