Witty Naruto Life

Chapter 259 Xiao Nan: Who is this powerful expert?
"In other words, this operation might mean we'll encounter the leader of Akatsuki head-on, right?"

Leaf Border.

After Shino finished packing quickly, he asked Naruto this question just before leaving the village.

“That’s right, but you don’t need to fight him. You just need to help me pinpoint his location.”

As Naruto spoke, he summoned two shadow clones, had them sit cross-legged on the ground, and began to gather natural energy.

Aside from Sage Mode, Naruto prepared an Anbu outfit for each of them as a disguise.

In addition to his Anbu uniform, Naruto also carried a huge scroll on his back for special summoning.

This time, Naruto will use the same trick again, employing Sage Mode-enhanced Wind Release to fight Pain and quickly kill him before he can reveal his true identity.

However, unlike before, Naruto has learned many Wind Release techniques. With the support of Sage Chakra, his ninjutsu strength is no weaker than that of Danzo Shimura in his prime.

Naruto: "I'm ready, are you?"

Shino: "We can set off at any time."

The two immediately left Konoha and headed south towards the Land of Fire.

rustling...

Shino stared straight ahead, forming a hand seal with one hand: "Secret Technique: Cocoon!"

A large number of parasitic insects suddenly appeared around him, then quickly dispersed in front of him, and began to search for all living things around him.

This secret technique allows the use of chakra to create cocoons, which then rapidly hatch into large numbers of insects to participate in the operation.

"Naruto."

"What's wrong?" Naruto turned around.

"Did you tell Yusuke anything beforehand?"

Naruto frowned and pressed for an answer: "What's wrong with him lately?"

“It’s nothing,” Shino said in a neutral tone. “He has gathered many outstanding young people from the same period to form a support group for you.”

"A fan club? Is it the kind of fan club I'm thinking of?" Naruto was full of questions.

He immediately thought of a comical scene:

Naruto Uzumaki sat in a pink-decorated room, where a long line stretched from the doorway to the edge of Konoha. He then smiled, shook hands with fans, and signed autographs for them.

“No, Yusuke said it’s more like a support force, a unit that you can call upon at any time, and it’s limited to young people.”

Naruto suddenly realized, "Isn't this the same method 'Root' uses to recruit people?"
Danzo Shimura: I have a group of loyal confidants, and I am their leader, Kaka.

Naruto Uzumaki: I have a group of loyal confidants, and I am their leader, Kakashi.

Shino pushed up her sunglasses: "Yusuke asked me to tell you..."

“Stop, Shino,” Naruto took a deep breath and said slowly, “Let’s talk about this later. Let’s take care of the important matter first.”

"I understand. I was just afraid you'd completely forget me later, so I took this opportunity to tell you." Shino's tone was low, and a hint of sadness flickered in his sunglasses.

It seems that his presence only becomes slightly stronger when he is on a mission.

Naruto turned to him with a complicated expression and nodded.

The two continued on their journey.

rustling...

"Naruto."

"It's not going to be that incident again?"

"No, I detected signs of a battle."

A glint flashed in Naruto's eyes, and Shino nodded before speeding up. The two arrived at a certain spot in the dense forest, one after the other.

Countless tree trunks around were covered with pieces of white paper, scattered haphazardly.

Shino's tone became more serious: "There are obvious traces of chakra on these white papers."

"Naruto, what are your thoughts?"

Naruto stared at the blank sheets of paper, his heart sinking.

"Yes... these blank sheets of paper are traces left by a powerful paper-style artist within the Akatsuki organization, and she was the Akatsuki leader's right-hand woman."

Naruto's tone was heavy; the situation he least wanted to happen had still occurred.

Shino nodded, then stroked the scratches on the tree trunk and said, "Then these marks must have come from a Wind Release ninja?"

"Yes, it's probably Temari from Sunagakure... Shino, could you continue following their trail?"

"Hold on."

Shino closed his eyes and began to quietly sense his surroundings. He quickly opened his eyes and pointed out a direction to Naruto.

"here!"

The two quickened their pace, stopped chatting, and the atmosphere around them became heavy.

rustling...

Naruto couldn't help but start calculating the time.

From the moment Pain attacked Gaara and his group, defeating him took time, defeating him and taking him away took time, but there is an additional time factor involved.

The time required to seal the tailed beasts.

If the masked man captures Killer Bee's true form and chooses to seal the Eight-Tails first, then Pain will need to remain stationary for several days.

This means that Naruto and his team will have more time to search for Pain.

"Calm down, the situation isn't at its worst yet..." Naruto thought to himself.

This is not only a manhunt, but also a psychological game, involving factors such as time and the location of the seal.

Whoever makes more mistakes will lose first.

Suddenly, Naruto saw a large number of white papers appear in front of him.

He looked ahead, his pupils suddenly shrinking: "Damn! Temari!" The two hurriedly rushed to a tree in sight.

At this moment, under the tree was a body wrapped tightly in white paper. Judging from its graceful and slender figure, it was a woman.

Naruto came to her side and immediately took off the white paper that was covering his face.

But the moment he took it off, Naruto didn't hear any heavy breathing.

Generally, when someone is suffocating and the suffocating object is removed, the victim will instinctively breathe and inhale fresh oxygen.

If the victim is unresponsive, or if the airway is completely blocked and breathing is impossible, the heart will stop beating within just one minute.

"Damn it! Damn it!"

Naruto immediately laid Temari flat, pressed his hands against her chest, and began performing CPR on her.

"Naruto, let me do it."

Shino switched hands, and this time he added artificial respiration.

A moment later, the two heard Temari cough violently, followed by her chest heaving violently.

"I'm alive... phew..."

Naruto and Shino collapsed to the ground. If they had arrived even a little later, or if CPR had not been performed in time, Temari would have left this world forever.

"I never expected... that Wind Release would lose to Paper Release." Shino looked at Temari and said in a low voice.

Naruto shook his head, indicating his disagreement.

Temari and Konan are both masters in their respective fields, but ninja battles are affected by various other factors.

Although Wind Release can cut white paper into pieces, Konan is extremely adept at using her own weaknesses in combat.

"Temari was probably defeated by the Paper Release ninja while she was severely injured by Pain or after expending a lot of chakra," Naruto concluded.

"Alright... what do we do now, Naruto?" Shino looked at Naruto after confirming Temari's breathing.

Naruto swallowed hard and said, "Summon your insect clone to take her back to Konoha, while the main body and I continue the pursuit."

"Yes."

Shino formed hand seals to summon a clone, while his main body closed his eyes and continued to sense Konan's location.

The two continued their journey, and Temari's appearance meant they were not far away.

rustling...

Half a day passed.

They traversed most of the dense forest, and as time passed, their hearts grew heavier.

Naruto is now almost certain that Gaara has fallen into Pain's hands.

Judging from the time and the strength of both sides, Gaara and the other two combined might not be able to defeat Pain, let alone with Konan's help.

The defeat was almost inevitable.

Then, the two saw a desert area whose environment had been profoundly altered.

This desert area is very strange; it is located in the middle of a dense, green forest, which seems very incongruous at first glance.

Judging from the surrounding trees that have been cut into pieces, it is clearly the result of human intervention, rather than a natural occurrence.

"Gaara is fighting Pain right here... but where is Granny Chiyo?"

Naruto frowned slightly, a variety of questions arising in his mind, his thoughts racing, but he shook his head, dismissing those random thoughts.

"Shino, do you have any clues?" Naruto had just looked at Shino when he suddenly noticed Shino raising his hand to him, and his brows quickly furrowed.

"It's just ahead!"

Shino suddenly accelerated and dashed towards a certain place. Naruto immediately followed. The surrounding scenery rushed past, and Naruto took out his Flying Thunder God kunai.

Suddenly, the two saw a figure in the far distance ahead, with white wings sprouting from its back.

"Xiao Nan!"

Naruto gathered chakra at his feet to speed up his journey. At the same time, he summoned a shadow clone to take down the scroll from his back.

The shadow clone landed on the ground and immediately unfurled a huge scroll covered with complex runes, with a large "人" (person) character in the center.

Without hesitation, the clone exclaimed, "Summoning Technique!"

"Bang!!"

The Sage Mode Shadow Clone was summoned here, and the next moment, the Sage Mode Shadow Clone dispelled the ninjutsu.

boom! !

Shino suddenly looked at Naruto, and he felt that the aura of the person next to him had changed drastically in an instant!

An overwhelming pressure suddenly came over, and Naruto's speed instantly increased, shooting forward like a rocket!

Immortal Ming silently chanted in his heart: "Immortal Technique - Vacuum Jade!"

"Bang!! Bang!! Bang!!"

He exhaled bullets of wind-escape energy from his mouth, and with the enhancement of Sage Art, the area covered by these wind-escape bullets expanded several times!
If ordinary vacuum jade is like a machine gun bullet, then the power of the current vacuum jade is amplified to that of an armor-piercing incendiary round of an anti-material sniper rifle, and the power is only greater!
If it hits a person in the waist, it can blow them in two!
Xiao Nan, who was far away, sensed this terrifying aura and her body instantly disintegrated into countless pieces of paper to avoid the cannon fire.

"boom!!"

The tree trunk beside her was cut in half, scattering wood chips into powder, which made Xiao Nan's eyelids twitch.

Who exactly is the powerful figure behind them?
But before she could think, she was as if she were locked onto by cannons, and a series of explosions began to rang out!
"boom!!"

"boom!!"

"boom!!"

One of the shots hit a part of Konan's body, and that part was instantly cut into pieces by the thin air blades inside the powerful wind-style cannonball!
"The pursuers from Sunagakure? No, it wasn't them."

Xiao Nan narrowed her eyes, abruptly adjusted her position, and began to run diagonally, trying to avoid the remaining cannons.

The next moment, she saw a long wind-style weasel-like creature, like a bulldozer, cut all the trees behind it in half and pounce towards her!
