Chapter 79 Target Orochimaru (Additional update for Derrick in the Forest)
Six days later, the funeral of the third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen was held as scheduled.
At noon, the clouds covering the sun over Konoha dispersed. Although the sun was hot and unbearable, it also awakened the vitality of all things on the earth.
Next to the newly erected tombstone, green branches have grown.
After lining up to lay flowers for those who died in the chaos, Naruto, dressed in black mourning clothes, followed the crowd and gathered in the center of the square in front of the cemetery.
Under the leadership of Jiraiya and Konoha's senior officials, countless people from Konoha lowered their heads at this moment and mourned for the ninjas who died in the chaos.
"The dilapidated windmill needs new fans. The dead Third Hokage is the best fuel for Konoha to rotate."
After a while, Naruto, who was drowsy due to the scorching sun, took a break and leaned on Sasuke's shoulder in front of him, closing his eyes and falling asleep.
Sasuke glanced at it but said nothing.
Iruka, who was not far away, saw this scene and walked over slowly, patted Naruto on the shoulder and comforted him: "Don't be too sad Naruto, death is like a light extinguishing, so be grateful and accept the change."
Naruto trembled and looked at Iruka: "I'm fine, Iruka-sensei, I'm just a little tired."
"I know you."
Iruka sighed: "Although the third generation has passed away in reality, he will always live in our hearts. Let's be open-minded."
Oh my god, that was terrifying.
If you, Iruka-sensei, died, I might still be sad for a while, but the third generation should just forget about it.
"Well, don't be too sad, Iruka-sensei."
Facing Iruka's concerned eyes, Naruto felt that his words might become more confusing, so he simply stopped explaining and nodded to admit that he was sad.
The funeral lasted about three hours, as the sun moved westward and the crowds dispersed.
Jiraiya waved Iruka to his side and asked, "What did you and Naruto talk about just now?"
Upon hearing this question, Sarutobi Hazuki, who was about to leave, paused and listened quietly.
"Naruto is very sad because of the death of the Third Generation. I just comforted him a few words." Iruka said.
"Naruto is sad?"
"Well, he was crying on Sasuke's shoulder."
"Alas!" Jiraiya let out a long sigh. During this time in Konoha, he probably already knew what the Third Generation had done, including the plan to deal with Naruto.
It can only be said that the third generation is really unauthentic.
Now Naruto was mourning for him.
"Old Sarutobi, if you wake up again, I really want to punch you."
Jiraiya said something silently, and he didn't know who he was talking to.
Sarutobi Hazuki lowered her head and pursed her lips before leaving. Naturally, she also knew the plan that the Third Generation had implemented against the Jinchuuriki.
"Jiraiya-sama, you don't need to tell me, I also know that our family owes Naruto, and I will compensate him."
Ye Yue will probably never forget the little boy's back blocking her.
At the same time, the four members of Team 7 were all present except for Kakashi who was still recovering in the hospital.
The first reunion after the Chunin Exams took place at Ichiraku Ramen Shop.
This was the second time Naruto came to eat Ichiraku Ramen after he made Ino and Hinata run away at the same time last time.
"Uncle, three portions of tonkotsu and barbecued pork ramen, one with spicy sauce and two with clear soup."
"okay!"
The three of them sat on the small table at the entrance of the store, feeling more comfortable eating with the wind blowing.
"Naruto, I was in the hospital for so many days and you didn't even look at me."
Sakura gritted her teeth and poked the bowl with her chopsticks, as if to poke Naruto.
"I'm very busy, Sakura."
"what are you busy at."
"He is busy asking his eldest sister to help him wash himself every day."
"???" Sakura looked up at Sasuke who was speaking and raised her eyebrows: "What's going on?"
"Sasuke, please speak properly and don't slander people out of thin air." Naruto said angrily.
Sasuke rolled his eyes: "You are so forgetful. Last time I came to see you, what did you hear that you didn't understand?"
Thinking of that gentle voice, the innocent Erzhu still feels a little blushing.
Unexpectedly, at such a young age, Naruto started asking his elder sister for help.
"Come on, what did you hear?" Sakura was particularly concerned about this question.
But neither Naruto nor Sasuke answered her question.
Naruto was too lazy to say it, and Sasuke was because he didn't know how to describe it.
"You two, talk quickly."
Until they finished eating the ramen, neither Naruto nor Sasuke gave Sakura an answer. In the end, she broke down and cursed each of them angrily before turning and leaving.
Because there have been too many ninjas doing high-intensity missions recently, many people have been injured, and the continuity has resulted in more patients needing treatment.
So Sakura's work is still very busy, and she almost has to stay in the hospital every day.
It will probably take another three to five days. When Konoha's work is almost cleared, she will have time to rest.
And Sasuke is also very busy. Every day he not only has to complete his own tasks, but also helps Naruto do it.
In addition to tasks and exercises, there is only time to eat, drink and sleep.
"Naruto, let's have another fight today."
"Okay, if I win, the task will still be yours tomorrow."
"Can!"
"."
When Naruto returned to the small apartment after beating Sasuke every day and opened the bedroom door, he saw an old man sitting on his big bed looking back and forth at his few photos.
"Hey, Naruto, why did you come back?"
Jiraiya, who was very familiar with Jiraiya, kept Naruto silent for a while.
"Jiraiya-sama, do you have anything to do with me?" Although he knew what was going on, Naruto still asked.
Jiraiya smiled slightly and said: "I heard Iruka said you were sad, so I plan to take you out to relax. You can pack your luggage and prepare to go with me."
"Okay!" Naruto agreed decisively.
Even if Jiraiya didn't come to see him, he would still find an opportunity to leave Konoha and meet up with Shiro in a while, so as to finish the unfinished business as soon as possible.
"Aren't you afraid that I will be a bad person when you agree so simply?" Jiraiya asked.
"Not afraid."
"Why?"
A faint smile appeared on Jiraiya's face, and he was wondering whether Naruto was like what the book said, seeing him was like meeting a kind elder.
I can't help but feel friendly.
However, Naruto's answer was: "Because you look vulgar. In this world, vulgar people usually don't go that bad."
Jiraiya was furious: "Pervert, who is this wretched kid?"
While the two were talking, Naruto had already packed a change of clothes and put them into his backpack, walked to the window and looked up at the sky.
White clouds were reflected in the blue eyes.
As the breeze blew by, Naruto tucked his hair behind his ears with a melancholy expression. He said to Jiraiya: "Handsome guys are all humorous. Only ugly guys like you can be called wretched."
Depend on!
How could Minato and Kushina's son need spanking so much.
For the first time in his life, Jiraiya wanted to teach a child a lesson.
"."
On the other side, four people wearing red auspicious cloud costumes entered the border of the Kingdom of Fire.
Kakuzu was walking at the front, counting the deposit he had just received over and over again. After confirming that it was correct, he put the money into the space scroll and carefully put it into his cuffs.
"The deposit of five million taels is correct. After catching Orochimaru, you will need to pay another 45 million taels."
"You don't have to worry about money, we won't rely on you."
A clear female voice sounded from under the mask, and Shiro said: "But the prerequisite is that you must ensure that Orochimaru cannot escape."
Hidan said disdainfully: "As long as the information you gave me is correct, I guarantee that Orochimaru will die a hundred times."
Zabuza said, "Don't be too crazy yet. Orochimaru is one of the Sannins of Konoha and is famous for his cunning and cunning. Are you sure you are strong enough to kill him?"
"Hmph!" Kakuzu snorted coldly: "As long as you give me the money, even if Orochimaru goes to the sky or burrows into the soil, I will dig him out."
"I hope you are not talking big words." Bai responded coldly.
After exchanging a few words, the four of them stopped talking and walked forward quietly.
Entering the forest of the Kingdom of Fire, the sunlight penetrated the leaves and branches, and the light spots shone on Bai's mask.
Zabuza looked at Haku, and he found that he couldn't understand Haku anymore.
He no longer listens to his words and often acts on his own initiative.
Last month, they started fighting with him over the issue of whether to control the Country of Waves.
In the end, he gave in and cooperated with Shiro to seize the power of the country of waves.
Just when he thought Shiro was going to learn from Kato and become the Earth Emperor of the Land of Waves, Shiro suddenly had a sudden idea.
Inexplicably, he took him to join this organization called "Akatsuki", and also spent a lot of money to invite two annoying guys to travel thousands of miles to find trouble for Orochimaru.
Zabuza knew very well that they had never had any grudges with Orochimaru.
Bai, it was as if he had suddenly changed into a different person.
What changes happened to her that she didn't know about?
Zabuza stared at Haku out of the corner of his eye, trying to figure out what Haku was thinking, but in the end he could only sigh.
What he didn't know was that when he looked at Bai, Bai was thinking about another person.
"Naruto-sama, we are finally going to meet you."
The excitement of being stepped on is so exciting just thinking about it, if you can be humiliated again this time.
Then all the hard work these days will not be in vain.
