Naruto: Naruto Hosted by the System

That's why Gaara closed himself off, believing himself to be alone and refusing to love anyone.

But today, Naruto told me again, "Your mother loves you."

In other words, what Yashamaru said earlier was not false; his mother's will truly existed in the sand, and she genuinely loved him.

"Mother......"

Thinking of this, Gaara couldn't help but burst into tears.

Seeing Gaara like this, Naruto was also filled with many thoughts.

"I still need to become stronger, strong enough to defeat the Sage of Six Paths, become the master of the world of the dead, and then... I can see my mom and dad again."

Chapter 69 Akatsuki Attacks (3/10) - Seeking first subscription!

Naruto's reputation among the villagers of Sunagakure is currently at its zenith.

The mere half-hour of daily genjutsu instruction has changed the fate of countless people, enabling them to embark on the path of ninjutsu training.

The differences between Sunagakure and Konoha are quite significant. Konoha already had excellent teaching staff, and Naruto even sent special Jonin or higher to the Ninja Academy to further improve the teaching quality, so there was no need for him, the Hokage, to provide guidance.

The Sand Village leadership didn't pay much attention to this. After hearing that Naruto was just helping some ordinary villagers learn basic literacy, they stopped caring, since they were just villagers with little talent anyway.

As a result, Naruto's reputation within a small circle is even showing a tendency to surpass that of the Sand Village government.

On this day, Gaara arrived at the laboratory as usual to wait, while Naruto was still teaching in Sunagakure.

After learning from Naruto that his mother actually loved him very much, Gaara's respect for Naruto reached an unprecedented level. He even secretly vowed that when he became the Kazekage, he would definitely build a good relationship with Konoha.

After all, if it weren't for Naruto, he might not have had the chance to learn such an important fact for a long time.

Gaara glanced listlessly at the traces left by Naruto when he experimented with ninjutsu, and couldn't help but purse his lips.

Even though he was the Jinchūriki of the One-Tailed Beast, Naruto's use of Shukaku's chakra actually made him stronger.

It was at this moment that two strangely shaped "large birds" came into his view.

Huh? What is that?

Just as Gaara was wondering, several "spiders" that looked like they were made of clay suddenly fell from one of the large birds.

Gaara instinctively sensed something was wrong and was about to retreat back into Sunagakure when the spiders that had landed near him suddenly exploded!

"Brother Sasori, it seems we're in luck. We've got the One-Tailed Jinchuriki." The blond man exclaimed in delight upon seeing the spectacular explosion.

"Don't let your guard down, Deidara," his companion cautioned.

Sure enough, after the smoke from the explosion cleared, Gaara, who had been protected by sand, was revealed.

Gaara felt a sense of impending doom upon seeing the two people before him.

Are they targeting me?

With this in mind, Gaara abandoned his plan to escape back into the village and instead decided to deal with the two enemies outside the village.

"Hey, this kid isn't running away. He must be moved by my art and wants to see it a few more times."

"Let's finish this quickly, we still need to find the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki later."

Upon hearing that they still intended to harm Naruto, Gaara immediately manipulated the sand beneath his feet to rise from the ground and attack the two of them.

"Brother Scorpion, don't interfere. I want him to experience my art properly."

"Remember not to kill them in the heat of the moment. I'm going to find the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki and the guy who broke my technique back then."

After saying that, Sasori flew away from the place and headed towards the interior of Sunagakure. Gaara wanted to stop him but was stopped by Deidara and could only watch Sasori leave.

"Where is the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki...?" Sasori gazed at Sunagakure, pondering how to find his target.

But suddenly, he felt a chill, as if he were being watched by a predator at the top of the food chain.

Are you looking for me?

Scorpion hurriedly turned around and spat out dozens of poisonous sage sticks behind him, but the opponent easily dodged his attack with a mere flash of movement.

Sasori scrutinized Naruto before him, his expression turning serious.

This guy... you can tell he's not simple just by looking at his chakra.

"Should I call you the Fifth Hokage... or the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki?"

Sasori removed his Akatsuki uniform, revealing the full form of his puppet shell—a giant scorpion.

While launching hidden weapons at Naruto, he also used his scorpion tail to block Naruto's dodge positions.

Theoretically speaking, if Sasori's poisonous hidden weapons grazed Naruto even slightly, it would be enough to secure victory.

However, theory is just theory. With Naruto's current physical strength and reaction speed, even in his normal state, he would not be able to be hit. He even seized the opportunity to break Sasori's tail with a punch.

Seeing this, Sasori realized that Hiruko alone could not capture the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, so he casually broke out of his shell and revealed his true form.

Naruto looked at the red-haired boy in front of him and realized something: "You actually turned yourself into a puppet?"

Sasori chuckled dismissively. Seeing Naruto's surprised expression, he concluded that Naruto was also someone who couldn't understand the eternal art.

However, Naruto's eyes were actually shining: "What a groundbreaking idea! It solves the problem of the puppeteer's physical weakness to some extent. So you're also a person who is good at scientific research!"

Scorpion paused for a moment, then became interested.

However, he hadn't forgotten that they were in a battle, so he took out the Third Kazekage puppet.

It's not too late to discuss eternal art after we capture him.

The system also reminded Naruto to focus on the battle, but suggested leaving one alive.

The biggest difference between human puppets and ordinary puppets is that human puppets can use the ninjutsu of the deceased, especially the Third Kazekage who was skilled in Magnet Release. He was known as the strongest Kazekage.

Under Sasori's command, countless iron sands transformed into sharp spears and were thrown at Naruto.

To show respect, Naruto also activated his transformation – Kurama Mode!

Naruto, now entirely golden, looked more like a golden flash. With the aid of the Nine-Tails' chakra, he could easily condense a golden hand to block the iron sand while closing in on his opponent.

Seeing that things were not going well, Sasori quickly manipulated the Third Kazekage to create a giant iron sand triangular pyramid.

Meanwhile, the main body was not idle either, once again taking off the Akatsuki organization outer garment it was wearing, revealing four scrolls on its back.

The first two scrolls lit up first, providing energy to the scorpion.

Then, Sasori pointed his palms at Naruto and launched powerful Water Release and Fire Release techniques, attacking together with the Iron Sand Triangular Pyramid.

Seeing this, Naruto used the Giant Rasengan.

However, this time the Giant Rasengan is not for attack, but rather it is similar to the Hyuga clan's Rotation, forming around Naruto to protect his body as a defense.

The high-speed spinning Giant Rasengan was quite effective at defense, successfully blocking Sasori's three-hit combo.

When Naruto reappeared, he had already conjured a Wind Release Rasenshuriken in his hand, which was about to hit Sasori.

Sasori quickly had the Third Kazekage puppet form a wall of sand and iron in front of him, protecting him.

Although Naruto had held back, the Wind Release: Rasenshuriken was still quite powerful, breaking through the iron sand wall and severely damaging the Third Kazekage's puppet, which could only unleash one more attack at most.

Naruto broke through the sand iron wall, only to find that Sasori was no longer inside.

It turned out that this was his escape route. He used the sand iron wall to block his view and was already running out of Sunagakure while retrieving the Third Kazekage puppet.

Sasori ran to the outside of Sunagakure. Deidara's battle was almost over, and Gaara was kneeling on the ground, looking as if he was about to faint.

"Hey Sasori, I'm almost done here. You still haven't found the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki?" Deidara greeted him.

But he soon noticed that Scorpion's current state was not right. He had even been forced to reveal his true form, and he looked quite disheveled.

With a gloomy face, Sasori hurriedly shared information with Deidara.

"The situation is not good; the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki is no ordinary person."

"Oh? So you actually think I'm not simple, Brother Scorpion?"

Deidara turned his head to look at the gate of Sunagakure, where a blond, blue-eyed man with delicate features appeared. Most importantly, the chakra emanating from him alone showed that he was no ordinary person.

"Another one? Do you have any innovative inventions? Show them to me, or you might get killed by me if you're too slow."

After Naruto came out, he noticed that Gaara was in poor condition, so he went over and used the Healing Palm Technique to heal him.

Gaara, panting, cautiously watched Deidara and Sasori, warning Naruto, "Be very careful, that blond man's ninjutsu is explosive clay."

"Hey, what kind of ninjutsu is this? This should be called art!" Deidara protested indignantly.

Upon hearing this, Naruto also became interested in Deidara's clay and couldn't wait to see it.

"Gaara, you go back first. Let me see what this clay is for."

Gaara, however, seemed uneasy: "Can you handle them all by yourself? That blond man is no less powerful than the Kazekage, and his companions are probably just as strong."

"Huh? Kazekage? I think I just beat one to a pulp."

Gaara was taken aback, only then noticing who the tattered puppet opposite him was.

"The Third Kazekage?!"

So, the red-haired boy next to him is Sasori of the Red Sand, known as the strongest puppeteer? Why does he look so disheveled?

Gaara remained silent.

He knew Naruto was very strong, strong enough to defeat Shukaku and Orochimaru, but in his opinion, even if Naruto won, it would only be a narrow victory.

But judging from Naruto's calm demeanor now, he probably didn't even use his full strength when he was dealing with Sasori.

Having understood this, Gaara silently withdrew.

I'm afraid that if I'm here, I won't be able to help, and I might even get in Naruto's way.

Just then, a giant clay bird flew to Naruto's side and exploded. Fortunately, Naruto reacted in time and used his golden hand to protect himself.

"Hey, have you two finished chatting?"

While the two were talking, Deidara and Sasori on the opposite side had already prepared to attack.

Deidara rode a giant clay dragon, constantly spitting out clay birds that flew towards Naruto.

At the same time, Sasori was not idle either, controlling the Third Kazekage to unleash his final move.
