Konoha: Naruto, trained by Aizen

A handsome man dressed in a kimono, resembling a girl, sat in front of a stall, smiling as he watched the passing crowds and calling out in a clear, melodious voice:

"Handmade jewelry, don't miss it when you pass by."

A boy and a little girl sat next to the man and joined in the cheerful shouts.

Passersby occasionally linger, admiring the jewelry with expressions of amazement.

These exquisite little items are indeed delightful.

But in this era of war and chaos, survival was difficult enough; how could anyone afford to buy small items?

So after a whole morning, only a handful of items remained on the stall.

"Sister Bai, is it because we didn't do a good enough job? Why isn't anyone buying?" The girl looked at the man with a worried expression.

The man gave a gentle smile, as warm as the sun, and said, "Perhaps they didn't have enough time to linger."

"Tch, they're just too poor," the little boy pouted, somewhat annoyed.

Bai smiled and ruffled the boy's soft hair, his smile as gentle as Naruto's.

The boy blushed and awkwardly turned his head away.

Suddenly, Bai's expression changed, and he looked seriously into the distance.

A moment later, a joyful expression appeared on his face: "Naruto-sama is calling me."

Naruto-sama?

The two children looked puzzled.

"Brother Bai, is that the Naruto-sama you've always talked about who saved you?"

"Yes, I have to go. You all stay home these next few days and don't go out unnecessarily," Bai said with a smile and a nod, then gave her instructions.

"Xiaoqin, you have to take good care of your brother. Xiaoning is very careless, so you have to keep an eye on him."

"And Xiao Ning, don't go out and run around. You have to protect your sister."

Seeing the two children's reluctant expressions, Bai also felt a little reluctant to part with them.

"I should be back in a few days," he said. He then helped the two children tidy up their stall and took them home.

The next moment, it disappeared from its original spot and reappeared a hundred meters away.

Chapter 143 Reuniting with Bai and Heading to the Land of Snow

Bai moved through the forest like a light swallow, and the branches she touched with her fingertips didn't even tremble.

This is enough to show that his control over power has reached a level of perfection.

His talent was already quite good, and with his stable training during this period, his strength has far surpassed what it used to be.

After traveling for a while, he finally met Naruto, who was still waiting, in an open space.

It was noon, and the sunlight shone on Naruto's warm and gentle smile, adding a touch of tenderness.

"Long time no see, Haku." Naruto's eyes, hidden behind his thick black-rimmed glasses, gleamed with an unusual light.

Currently, Shiro's chakra and spiritual pressure have just reached the level of a Jonin, so I believe he can win even against stronger Jonin.

"Naruto-sama!" Haku approached Naruto with a respectful expression: "It's been a long time."

How have you been lately?

I'm living in seclusion in a small town...

Bai recounted his life during this period in detail.

He adopted two children who were homeless because of the war, and then used some money given to him by Naruto to rent a house. Every day he would go to the market to sell some handmade ornaments.

Secretly, they would take on some commissions from underground organizations.

Because of his strength, he was quite famous in the local underground organization.

However, he has very strong principles when accepting commissions.

One should not kill.

Secondly, we will not accept commissions that are morally reprehensible or harmful.

So the ninjas all gave him a code name: Angel.

Naruto listened with a smile, and was happy for everything Haku did.

Having experienced homelessness himself, Haku has a deep compassion for homeless children, which would be a fatal flaw for a ninja.

“I admire your kindness, Haku.” After Haku finished speaking, Naruto slowly said, “But you must know that the path we are about to take is very cruel, and you must be prepared.”

Bai understood Naruto's meaning and nodded firmly, saying, "Don't worry, Naruto-sama, if that day really comes, I won't hesitate!"

Sensing Haku's will, Naruto nodded in satisfaction and then explained the contents of the request to him.

When Haku learned that Naruto had joined the dark Root organization, his eyes showed a hint of heartache.

He understood that the gentle Naruto must have gone through a great deal of mental preparation to make such a decision.

"You will encounter many rogue ninjas in the Land of Snow this time, which may give you a new understanding of Ice Release."

......

After a long journey, Naruto and Haku quickly followed Sasuke's team to the Land of Snow.

At the same time, Sasuke's team was also besieged by rogue ninja from the Land of Snow.

Several genin emerged from their hiding place, rapidly forming hand seals.

"Ice Release: Swallow Snowfall".

"Ice Release: Ice Pillar".

The snow trembled, and several icicles shot out from it, heading straight for Sasuke and the others.

Amidst the swirling snowflakes, several snow darts materialized, flashing with a cold light as they hurtled towards the scene.

"A mere trick." Sasuke sneered, his body erupting with blinding lightning, and in the next moment, his figure flashed among several genin.

Accompanied by screams, lightning exploded.

The smell of burning filled the air; those low-ranking ninjas had been dealt with in an instant.

"Wow, that's amazing." Kazama Koyuki stared at Sasuke in astonishment, her mouth agape.

"Hey, Sasuke has improved a lot." Haku, who was secretly observing, covered his mouth and chuckled.

“Let’s go. The Snow Country’s rogue ninjas will need to send at least their core members to take them down. We can take advantage of this chaos to loot all their treasure,” Naruto said calmly.

"Oh, I'm going to be a thief with Naruto-sama, I can't wait," Bai chuckled.

"No, we are robbers," Naruto corrected seriously.

"Yes, yes, yes." Bai covered her mouth and chuckled.

As Naruto was leaving, he noticed that Sasuke's team was surrounded by several Chunin.

Sasuke's team did not receive accurate intelligence, so they did not know that the person they were protecting, Kazahana Koyuki, was the princess of the Land of Snow.

The Snow Village in the Land of Snow is not strong; in fact, it can be described as weak.

Most of the Snow Ninjas inside wear a unique chakra armor. With the enhancement of this armor, their chakra can be greatly amplified. However, given their level, there are very few ninjas who can reach the Jonin level.

but.

Their mastery of ice magic is quite remarkable.

Since almost all the Snow Ninja they encountered along the way were only Genin-level, Naruto and Haku had a smooth journey.

Considering Haku's kind nature, Naruto did not kill the genin directly, but instead used Kyoka Suigetsu to control their vision.

Firstly, these ninjas were too weak to be killed, and their bodies had little research value.

Secondly, they didn't want to expose their whereabouts through killing.

After all, their target was the rogue ninja leader and his treasure.

As he traversed this snow-covered landscape, even with his Ice Release bloodline limit, Bai couldn't help but feel a sense of joy.

The Land of Snow is shrouded in ice and snow all year round.

For ordinary ninjas, the low temperature is unbearable, but for Haku, it is comfortable.

Beneath the ice and snow, he felt his spiritual pressure and chakra flow more smoothly.

After infiltrating the palace, they successfully entered.

The target, the leader of the rogue ninja, sat on his throne with a smug smile on his face.

"The princess actually dared to come back, and even brought Konoha ninja with her. How ridiculous! Capture them alive and humiliate the princess properly, and show her who the real king of the Land of Snow is."

This is the leader of the rogue ninja from the Land of Snow, Fuuka Nutō.

According to intelligence, Fuuka Nutō's strength should be at the level of a Special Jonin, but he is still not enough to compete with Naruto.

"It's a pity that such a beautiful, snowy land has been occupied by such an ugly fellow." Naruto's slightly sighing voice echoed in the vast, empty palace.

Upon hearing this, Feng Hua Nu Tao's expression changed drastically. He stood up abruptly and shouted angrily, "Who is it? Guards!"

After a long silence, not a single subordinate arrived, and Feng Hua Nu Tao's face immediately turned ugly.

He recalled the intelligence his subordinates had previously sent him.

This time, Koyuki is being escorted by ninjas from Konoha Village.

Could it be that the people who infiltrated the palace this time were Konoha ninjas?

When did the princess start flirting with Konoha?

How could this be? I clearly had contact with the Konoha ninjas; they would have secretly helped me.

Did they betray them?

Feng Hua Nu Tao's face was extremely ugly.

He recalled the mysterious Konoha ninja who had arrived here a dozen days ago.

After some negotiation, he, on behalf of Konoha, stated that he would not interfere in the struggle for the position of leader of the Land of Snow and would not accept any requests from Fuuka Koyuki.
