Naruto: Naruto Hosted by the System

Naruto brought Kankuro and Gaara back to Momoko Nohara.

Momoko Nohara, who was fetching water, was even happier when she saw another older brother arrive, the same one who had demonstrated his impressive ninjutsu before.

"Yay! There are more people now, it's even more lively! Xiao Tao loves a lively atmosphere!"

Naruto and Gaara went over to help process the sweet potatoes, and Kankuro, after a moment of silence, also went to help.

The Hokage, the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, and the One-Tails Jinchuriki all gathered together, their purpose being to roast sweet potatoes...

Unfortunately, Kankuro was the only normal person who thought this way. Naruto, Gaara, and Momo all enjoyed roasting sweet potatoes.

"Brother Gaara, here's some of my grilled food for you to try."

"Mmm, it's delicious."

"Come and try my sweet potato porridge too."

"Wow, Naruto is so talented!"

……

When the time came for his mission to Sunagakure, Sasuke was already waiting at the gates of Konoha with his entourage.

The people going to Sunagakure this time are Naruto, Sasuke, Gaara, Kankuro, Temari, and some accompanying personnel.

However, of the most important people, only Sasuke arrived.

That's so slow, did you learn it from Kakashi...?

Just as Sasuke was thinking this, he saw Naruto and the others walking over, each carrying a lot of sweet potatoes.

"Hey Naruto, don't tell me you met an old lady who needed help on your way here," Sasuke said, displeased.

"Would you believe me if I said it was true? Although it's not an old lady, it's a little girl." Naruto was also a little helpless.

Before going to Sunagakure, Naruto left a shadow clone to handle government affairs and had Kakashi assist him.

When it was time to depart, he went to find Gaara and the others himself, and Temari happened to be there as well.

When Momo knew that Gaara and the others were leaving, she insisted that they take some sweet potatoes to eat on the way, which confused Temari. Did Gaara and Kankuro really get along so well with the villagers of Konoha?

"Brother Gaara, were you happy during your time in Konoha? Was Konoha fun?" Momo asked innocently.

What's so great about being a prisoner?

Kankuro kept thinking.

However, Gaara gave an affirmative answer: "Happy."

Kankuro:? ? ?

Hey kid, are you even from Sunagakure?

Gaara ignored Kankuro's expressive face and murmured as he stared ahead, "I'll probably never forget what Konoha gave me."

Temari looked thoughtfully at Gaara, who had changed so much.

"Alright everyone, we should go now, or Sasuke will beat me up," Naruto joked.

Hearing Naruto's words, the sensible Momo knew she couldn't delay everyone's trip, so she waved goodbye reluctantly.

Goodbye, Gaara-nii.

Goodbye, Momo.

After saying goodbye, the group embarked on their journey to Sunagakure.

……

The group sat in a carriage and traveled along the main road to the Land of Wind. On the way, they would pass through a small country called the Land of Rivers.

The five major powers are not far apart, but each is separated by at least one small country as a buffer zone. The small countries are sandwiched in the middle, which makes trade convenient, but it also means that when war breaks out, their country becomes the battlefield.

This is the tragedy of small countries.

For example, right now, Naruto has noticed that something is wrong.

"Sasuke, there's an enemy."

Sasuke, who had been silently refining his chakra, suddenly awoke with a start and asked cautiously, "How many people are there? What is their chakra level?"

"Fifteen people, five Jonin and ten Chunin."

"Is it Iwagakure?"

The closest villages to Sunagakure are Konoha and Iwagakure, so it's no wonder Sasuke suspected them.

But Naruto shook his head.

"It's probably Cloud Village."

"Kumakuya?" Sasuke asked, somewhat puzzled.

"Why did they travel all this way? Are they after the Nine-Tails and the One-Tails?"

"No, the enemy's chakra level is not high enough to deal with the tailed beasts, and the Raikage is probably not here either, so this is just a test."

"As for why we suspect it's Kumogakure, it's because chakra doesn't lie. One of them is a Storm Release ninja, who is most likely Darui from Kumogakure."

Sasuke knew Darui, and had heard that he was a master of lightning. Thinking of this, a fighting spirit appeared in his eyes.

"Naruto, don't do it. Leave these people to me."

"Perfect timing to test just how powerful the Mangekyou Sharingan is!"

Chapter 62 You Chose the Wrong Opponent

"Let me emphasize this again: the main objective of this mission is to test Naruto's strength. If we have the chance, we can try to take away the Nine-Tails and the One-Tail. If not, then forget it."

As Darui stealthily made his way towards Naruto and the others, he gave instructions to his teammates.

Upon learning that the Fifth Hokage was actually a child, the first reaction of the Cloud Village was that the information was wrong.

Konoha is indeed in a period of transition: the Fourth Hokage is dead, the Sannin have left, and the younger generation has not yet come of age.

But shouldn't it be Jiraiya or Tsunade who becomes Hokage? Naruto Uzumaki? Isn't that just a kid?

Therefore, after confirming that the intelligence was accurate, the Raikage felt that this was a good opportunity to attack Konoha.

Of course, some probing is still necessary, especially since both the Nine-Tails and the One-Tail Jinchuriki are present this time. If they are successfully brought back to Kumogakure, the title of the strongest ninja village will change hands.

"Sigh, I have a bad feeling about this." In the line, a white-haired man with a lollipop in his mouth suddenly sighed.

"Omoi, here we go again. Can you stop sighing all day long? It's really annoying." Darui was also a little annoyed.

"Everyone be quiet, it sounds like someone's coming." The sensory ninja, hope, quickly silenced everyone.

"Your perception is far inferior to ours."

An unfamiliar voice sounded from behind, and the Cloud Hidden Forces quickly turned around to defend themselves, only to be met with blinding lightning.

At the critical moment, it was the squad leader, Darui, who reacted in time and released black lightning to neutralize the enemy's attack.

"Raikiri! The enemy is using Raikiri!"

"Is the enemy Kakashi Hatake?"

"No, that's not right, he has two Sharingan!"

Sasuke's figure appeared in front of the Cloud Village troops, making them feel as if they were facing a formidable enemy, because the aura emanating from his Sharingan was simply too terrifying.

"How could it be Sasuke Uchiha? Didn't Naruto Uzumaki come? Have we fallen into a trap?"

"What is that Sharingan? I've never seen it before."

"Be careful not to make eye contact with the Sharingan!"

Darui hurriedly warned everyone to be careful of genjutsu, but it was too late. Five Chunin were caught in the genjutsu because they made eye contact with Sasuke.

During the war, the Uchiha clan left a deep impression on other countries because those with the three-tomoe Sharingan possessed at least the strength of a Jonin.

At the same time, because the Uchiha's genjutsu is also very sophisticated, when facing the Uchiha alone, others have no choice but to run away, otherwise they won't even know how they died.

"Don't be afraid, he's all alone. Let's use ninjutsu together!" Seeing that the morale of the troops was wavering, Darui quickly directed everyone to take action.

Damn, this is definitely a troublesome task.

Despite this thought, Darui quickly formed hand seals.

"Water Release: Water Wall Formation!"

Darui spewed water from his mouth like a waterfall while his hands continued to move.

"Lightning Release: Gratitude Wave!"

Darui attached Lightning Release to Water Release, utilizing the electrical conductivity of water to greatly enhance the power of his ninjutsu.

The others also tried their best to overcome their fear and used ninjutsu on Sasuke.

Just as everyone's attacks were about to hit Sasuke, Sasuke hesitated to make a move.

Everyone quickly checked their chakra levels to prevent being affected by genjutsu.

It wasn't an illusion? Then why didn't he use ninjutsu to defend against it?

Amidst the puzzled gazes of the Cloud Village troops, a barrage of ninjutsu was unleashed upon Sasuke.

Seeing that there was no turning point, a Chunin in the group immediately mocked Sasuke: "What kind of Uchiha is this? You think someone of this level can make the seniors tremble with fear?"

Omoi, standing beside him, frowned, secretly feeling that things weren't that simple.

The next moment, a purple glint appeared in his eyes, and he quickly shouted, "Watch out!"

A giant purple skeletal hand swept across, crushing the Chunin into a pulp while its power remained undiminished as it attacked Omoi.

Omoi hurriedly used all his skills to defend himself. He was skilled in swordsmanship, but his sword was no match for Susanoo. He was sent flying and seriously injured.

hope rushed forward and used the Palm Healing Technique to heal him, but as a result, two Jonin lost their ability to fight.

"It seems Susanoo's defense is quite good; your attacks are completely ineffective." Sasuke said arrogantly. The reason he didn't defend against the Cloud Village troops' attacks was to test Susanoo's defensive capabilities.

Sasuke's Susanoo has already taken on a human form, resembling the upper body of a skeleton. Not only is it incredibly powerful, but its body is also protected by a skeleton, making it difficult for ordinary attacks to even penetrate its defenses.

At this moment, two Cloud Village Jonin stepped forward and came up behind Sasuke, using ninjutsu to focus their attacks on a single point in Sasuke's body, trying to find a breakthrough in this way.

"So didn't I say that your attacks are ineffective against me!"
