Naruto the Genius

Chapter 39: The Coward of Iwagakure

The reason why Naruto ran away without looking back was because the Wood Clone discovered that there were no less than 30 Grass Ninjas who began to surround the forest. No wonder the Iwagakure Anbu threatened to kill Naruto in that situation, it turned out that a large number of Grass Ninjas were acting with them. The Grass Ninjas were not only numerous, but also used ninjutsu that Naruto was not familiar with. In addition, this was the Land of Grass, and it would be very dangerous if they were surrounded.

Naruto's sudden escape made the other Iwagakure gritting their teeth in anger. The Kusagakure ninjas who arrived later also came up empty-handed. They didn't expect that such a large group of people would still fail.

Although Naruto escaped successfully, he also felt that the situation was very unfavorable to him. The enemy had an absolute advantage in numbers and was more familiar with the terrain. It was very likely that Naruto would be discovered again soon. Naruto's first thought was to escape immediately after getting the treasure. As for the Kusagakure and Iwagakure, he should just ignore them. But they followed him like ghosts, and it was difficult to get rid of them. Moreover, the Kusagakure must be doing their best to find Naruto now that he was in the limelight.

In addition to these, Naruto also thought that if the treasure was found, there would be other problems. First, will anyone come to rob it after it is found? If the Grass Ninjas go out in force, it is very likely to be robbed even if it is found. Second, even if it is found, how to transport it out of the Grass Country? Naruto is alone, and even if he asks someone to help, it is easy to be discovered on the way. Third, even if it is successfully transported out, where to put it? Naruto does not have his own base or other safe place. If it is brought back to Konoha, it will belong to the Fire Country, and Naruto will be given some rewards at most. Combining the above factors, it is better to leave the treasure there first and wait until the time is right in the future instead of digging it out now. Anyway, the treasure map is in his hands, and the treasure will not be taken away by others.

Naruto took Sagi Mori back to the Land of Fire quickly. As a ninja of Konoha, Naruto could do things much more conveniently here. Moreover, the Land of Fire had a large area and many uninhabited places. Naruto found a forest that was not too far from the town and was rarely visited by people. He used ninjutsu to build a base underground. Soon, he used earth escape to open up a space that was much larger than the previous temporary base. Then he used wood escape to build the structure inside. Soon, a base that could accommodate dozens of people was completed. Sagi Mori saw that Naruto could actually build a base of this scale in a short time, and worshipped Naruto like a god in his heart.

After building all this, Naruto handed some of the money he earned from the mission to Sagi Mori and said, "Sagi Mori, we have no way to dig for the treasure for the time being. You can use this money to live in this base, and I will let you manage it. I will continue to find people to come here in the future. This is the treasure map, and I will give it to you before I come back." As he said that, Naruto took out the treasure map and handed it to Sagi Mori.

Lu Sen took the treasure map and said, "Sir, please rest assured. I promise to complete the task."

Naruto said: "I will go to the Land of Grass again, and this time I will definitely kill your second uncle and help you get revenge."

Lu Sen said gratefully: "Thank you very much, sir."

Naruto then came to the Land of Grass again, but this time Naruto changed his outfit, and it was difficult for ordinary people to associate Naruto with his previous identity. Even so, Naruto still did not take action immediately, but pretended to be traveling around, and occasionally gave some food to two teenage orphans out of kindness. In such a small country, the probability of people dying in accidents is very high, so there are many orphans. The reason why Naruto did this is that he really needs manpower now, and these orphans are usually more loyal. Seeing that the two orphans quickly finished the food in their hands, Naruto said: "As long as you are willing to follow me, I promise that I will never let you go hungry again. Are you willing?" Just as Naruto expected, the two were happy to follow. After staying in the Land of Grass for a few days, Naruto chose to sneak into the original home of Lu Sen one night and began to look for Lu Yuan's traces. For such an ordinary person, it is relatively easy to find, and Naruto, who was hiding in the dark, soon found his figure. Lu Yuan was walking back and forth in the room, and he seemed very anxious in his heart, and kept muttering what to do, what to do.

Naruto went in in a flash, covered Lu Yuan's mouth with one hand, cast Flying Thunder God to come to his hotel, took the two newly taken in orphans, and cast Flying Thunder God again to come to the newly established base. Flying Thunder God can be easily cast for long-distance transmission in Naruto's hands. Although the longer the distance, the more chakra will be consumed, but it is very suitable for traveling.

When Sagi Mori saw Naruto suddenly appear with a few people, his eyes were soon attracted by Lu Yuan, and his anger was evident. Lu Yuan was also stunned when he saw Sagi Mori, knowing that he was in danger this time. Naruto let him go and said, "I'm afraid that if I don't take you away, those Anbu will come to kill you right away."

Lu Yuan fell to the ground, his feet completely out of control, and he said in horror: "Devil, it's absolutely a devil, not only did you suddenly bring me to this place, how come you even know this." Naruto thought to himself that his guess was indeed correct, and used Wood Release to tie up Lu Yuan, then said to Lu Sen: "These two guys are in your hands, you can teach them some survival skills first, or ask them to help you do something, as for Lu Yuan, you can do whatever you want with it."

After Naruto finished speaking, without waiting for Sagi Mori's answer, he used Flying Thunder God to come to the place where Sagi Yuan lived, used the transformation technique to transform into Sagi Yuan's appearance, and waited for Iwagakure to appear. According to Naruto's speculation, after Sagi Yuan was no longer useful, Iwagakure would most likely come back to kill him and silence him. Naruto rested while waiting for Iwagakure to appear. Unknowingly, it was almost dawn, and Naruto thought that Iwagakure would not appear.

At this moment, a voice appeared: "Are you glad that you survived tonight so quickly? It's a pity that I told you that you won't see the sun tomorrow." Then, six Anbu pushed open the door and walked in. They were wondering why Lu Yuan was not as frightened as last time. Suddenly, a flash of lightning flashed, and the two people in front of them lost their heads without any reaction. The two people in the middle quickly took out kunai for defense. Unfortunately, they were not melee ninjas, and Naruto's powerful lightning escape directly cut them in two with one sword. Naruto disguised himself as Lu Yuan and instantly dealt with four jonins. The remaining two turned around and started to run away. They were the two ninjas who were guarding the door before.

Naruto chased them and knocked them down with lightning. The two knew that they were no match for Naruto. When they saw Naruto raise the Thunder God Sword, they felt that they would die tragically like the previous few people. They did something that surprised Naruto. They actually knelt down and begged for mercy, and it didn't look fake at all. It was rare for ninjas to beg for mercy, because most ninjas were prepared to die, but these two people were obviously defeated by their fear.

Seeing the two men kneeling on the ground and begging for mercy, Naruto still wanted to kill them with one sword, but then he thought that he could just ask for information about the Land of Earth, so he used Flying Thunder God to bring the two men to Naruto's base.
