Naruto just wants to be a god of death.

Chapter 77 What is he doing in Kirigakure? (th update!)

As soon as Team 8 returned to Konoha, they were summoned by the Anbu.

Kakashi, who had just become Hokage, was overwhelmed.

He was not prepared at all and was suddenly pushed into this position - Jiraiya's reminder, no matter what, probably cannot be regarded as "preparation".

It doesn't matter if you're not prepared.

At such a critical moment.

They had to negotiate compensation with Sand Village, deal with the temptations of Kumogakure and Iwagakure, and also deal with Kirigakure. They took the opportunity to send people to put pressure on them, urging them to demand the demon Zabuza Momochi and the ice escape bloodline limit beside him.

He needs to deal with all these things.

The war is on the verge of breaking out, and if we are not careful, we will end up with bloodshed.

The only good news is that the village is relatively stable.

Jiraiya, one of the "Three Ninjas", strongly supports it.

Although some people in the jonin class disliked Kakashi, Nara Shikaku's authority was there and no one objected to his words.

Although the senior consultants were reluctant, they had no choice but to accept the situation.

But at this time.
Such a thing happened in the Land of Fire.

He asked Team 8 to come over, hoping to get some useful information.

There is indeed good news, but this good news...is once again related to Naruto.

"What's bothering you?" Utane Koharu walked over and looked at Kakashi.

Kakashi showed her the report of Team 8.

Utane Koharu remained calm and said, "What's the problem with this?"

"Report to the Daimyo and tell them that the Konoha ninjas encountered enemy ninjas who sneaked into the Land of Fire without permission and killed them."

"And then apply for some funding in the name of environmental improvement."

Kakashi looked at her in surprise.

"Any questions?" she asked.

Kakashi smiled bitterly.

Big problem!

Can Naruto still be considered a Konoha ninja now? And the identity of the ninja who was killed has not been found out yet, so why is it so hasty to identify him as an enemy ninja?
What is the application for funding?

"You are the Hokage now, correct your thinking." Utatane Koharu said sternly, "You should consider it from the perspective of the village, not Team 7 instructing the Jonin!"

Kakashi nodded and agreed dully.

Is this the life of a Hokage?
When I was young, I admired the position I once admired, and the person my best friend wanted to be.
So that's how it is.

Konoha, the third training ground.

Sasuke was training alone, sweating profusely.

Haruno Sakura came over: "Sasuke, Hinata said that they ran into Naruto while on a mission."

Sasuke didn't stop training.

"They said Naruto had a battle with a very powerful ninja." Haruno Sakura continued, "and the topography of the entire forest was changed."

Sasuke paused.

But the next moment, he threw the two shurikens in his hands with all his might.

The force was so great that it penetrated the target.

Scarlet appeared in his eyes, and the tomoe pattern was rotating. His left eye already had "three magatama", while his right eye was still one step away, with only two magatama rotating. Faintly, he could already see the shadow of the third tomoe pattern.

"Really?" Sasuke said softly, "Naruto is getting stronger."

His thoughts were not on the blond boy.

Obviously so much time has passed.

Uchiha Itachi's voice still lingered in my ears, extremely clear.

"Kill your best friend".
Even if I really want to do what he says.

But since you can get the power to kill Naruto, wouldn't it be better to use this power to kill Uchiha Itachi directly?
"Sasuke, can you take a break?" Haruno Sakura said worriedly, "You've been training all day."

She was worried about Sasuke's condition.

As soon as I came out of the hospital, I plunged into training without stopping.

From morning to night every day, I hardly give myself any time to rest.

Sasuke wiped the sweat off his face, shook his head, and said firmly and decisively: "No, this is not enough."

“No matter who you try to catch up with, it’s not enough.”

After replenishing some water, he wiped the sweat from his forehead and continued training.

The inner thoughts became more and more firm with each release of ninjutsu.

Don't listen to that man!

You must become stronger in your own way.

Naruto and Karin left the Sound Village, crossed the border and returned to the Land of Fire.

"Where are we going next?" Karin asked.

I got a lot of useful information from Orochimaru.

"Let's follow the original plan first." Naruto thought for a moment, "Continue to visit the shrine in the Land of Fire." "Then go to Kirigakure."

Karin nodded.

There are more shrines in the Land of Fire than they expected. Sometimes there are even five or six shrines and temples in one town. In addition, there are rumors that there may be great monsters or gods in the deep mountains and valleys, which slows down their progress even more.

But the world in the eyes of ordinary people and the world in the eyes of "ninjas" are very different.

Most of the so-called "monsters" and "gods" are just beasts that master chakra. They have great power, wisdom, and unusual behavior, so they are called "gods" by humans. They are far from the real gods that Naruto expects.

However, some traces of the existence of gods have been found.

But over the years, it has been almost completely lost, with only stories passed down by word of mouth to prove it.

The temple in the Fire Nation's capital city was the most interesting place they had ever visited.

This temple is completely different from other shrines in specifications. It is magnificent, tall, and majestic.

The bronze door is nearly three meters tall, with stone statues of Mingwang standing on both sides, taller than the door.

But even the Jizo statues on the roadsides in the countryside are worshipped by people, but this place is deserted. When Naruto wanted to pay a visit, he was stopped by the monks in the temple. Only with the approval of the daimyo would they let people in to worship.

That night, Naruto sneaked in with Karin.

There was nothing interesting in there, though.

There are no gods in shrines where people worship, let alone temples like this where almost no one worships.

On the border of the Fire Nation, there is a small seaside town.

It is the end of Naruto and Karin's journey and the starting point of their next journey.

On the dock.

Two people sat on the sightseeing chairs waiting for the ferry.

Xianglin flipped through the inscriptions that she had just copied from the shrine in this town: "There is no reliable information here either."

More than half a year has passed.

All they got was a bunch of specious intelligence.

"How many so-called gods have we encountered in total?" She put away the scroll and counted on her fingers. "Not counting those that we have proven not to be gods, about thirty-seven or thirty-eight?"

"Thirty-seven." Naruto gave a definite number.

Ordinary people like to worship "gods".

Forget about the beasts that possess chakra, they are indeed special.

But an ordinary stone standing upright, an ancient tree, or a deformed livestock can all be worshipped as "gods".

"Even if most of them are fake, we should have met one or two real ones." Xianglin muttered, "But no, where did all those gods go?"

Naruto shook his head and said nothing, flipping through Jiraiya's letter.

They have basically relied on correspondence for the past six months.

After learning the information about the Akatsuki Organization from Orochimaru, Naruto immediately passed it on to Jiraiya. Of course, Naruto did not mention his cooperation with Orochimaru.

Jiraiya was surprised at Naruto's ability to gather information, but he didn't ask any more questions.

Just keep a close eye on the Akatsuki Organization and send any new information to Naruto in time.

But that organization has been very well behaved recently.

Wait till you finish reading this letter.

Naruto and Karin sat for a while longer.

The whistle sounded and the cross-ocean cruise ship docked at the pier.

They boarded the boat and sailed to the Water Kingdom.

The Kirigakure, once known as a "closed country", has now reversed its original reputation and become a welcoming "open village".

Whether ninjas or tourists, they are all warmly welcomed.

But it is open.

Those ninjas who come ashore will still be closely scrutinized in private, especially those powerful ninjas who are already famous.

The Hidden Mist Anbu.

The current Anbu chief Qing is handling affairs.

A man instantly came to his desk and said, "Master Qing!"

"Uzumaki Naruto was found on the list of the new batch of passengers visiting Kirigakure."

Qing looked up suddenly: "Is it the Uzumaki Naruto from the Land of Fire?"

The ANBU responded.

His face immediately darkened.

More than half a year had passed, and they had already figured out the relationship between Naruto and Konoha. It was not the kind of closely connected relationship between Jiraiya and Konoha, but more like the relationship between Tsunade and Konoha, close yet distant, or in other words, Konoha was shamelessly determined to tie itself to them.

Therefore, the team never uses the title "Konoha Uzumaki Naruto" but instead "Fire Country Uzumaki Naruto".

What does a person who has been active in the Land of Fire for a long time want to do by suddenly coming to Kirigakure?
"Did you see it on the passenger list?" Qing asked.

The Anbu replied, "Yes."

"Then treat them as ordinary passengers first." Qing thought for a while and gave the order, "Notify Lady Terumi Mei and ask her to approach Uzumaki Naruto."

There were too many codes at once, so the quality has indeed dropped a bit. This won't work! We still have to ensure the quality. Mee Mee will be scolded QAQ. The money in brackets doesn't count.)
