Chapter 242 Determination
Steel Hand also showed a sad face after listening to Kakashi's confession. She was one of the few people who knew the inside story about the relationship between Naruto and Anko. Considering that Naruto took love so seriously, the blow he received was so severe. It was unimaginable. She had been through it herself, so she knew very well how deep the pain in Naruto's heart was at this time.
Steel Hand said: Then you didn't see Naruto appear again after that? Didn't you find any clues?
Kakashi shook his head and said: We waited for three days in the ruins of the headquarters of the Evil God Cult and searched for three days, but we couldn't find it. Not even a trace of breath was left. It seemed that Naruto and Ben were not there. It’s like I’ve been there.”
Hearing Kakashi's words, Tsunade said excitedly: This is impossible, even if he dies, he will leave some breath. Naruto didn't even leave any breath, which means that someone deliberately erased Naruto's breath. If you look at it this way, Naruto is probably not dead yet.
After hearing Tsunade's words, Kakashi, Sakura and Sai were immediately excited. Sakura asked uncertainly: Master, is Naruto really not dead?
Tsunade nodded and said: Well, the probability of Naruto speaking should be very high. If Naruto dies, there is no need to erase his aura, so I speculate that Naruto should be killed by someone. He was rescued, and the person who rescued him also wiped out his breath. The purpose should be to prevent people from finding Naruto, and not wanting anyone to disturb the conversation between him and Naruto. Now I I no longer worry about Naruto's safety. What I worry about is how to tell the little girl in the Hinata family about this matter. I'm worried that if I don't handle it well, the little girl will do something stupid, which will be bad.
Kakashi asked doubtfully: Hinata? and then said with certainty: This is indeed quite troublesome. With the relationship between Naruto and Hinata, if Hinata knows that Naruto is missing, I will trust Hinata a little bit. I will be very anxious and may leave the village to find Naruto's whereabouts. Hinata has already exposed her strength in the Moon Country. If people in other villages know about Hinata leaving the village, I am worried that someone will It's not good for her, Hokage-sama, we can't let Hinata know about Naruto's disappearance.
Tsunade returned: Of course I know this. Although I don't have much contact with Hinata Hinata, I still know this little girl. She usually looks weak, but as long as Naruto is involved, she will do anything. Gotta come out.”
At this time, Sakura interrupted: There are also Karin and Hanabi. That idiot Naruto may not know, but Ino and I both know very well that Karin and Hanabi, Hinata's younger sister, both like Naruto. It's just that Naruto He is relatively slow and doesn’t know it yet. I think if Master and Kakashi-sensei want to hide it, it’s best not to let them know.”
Hearing that there were two girls who liked Naruto, Tsunade suddenly said helplessly: It's really troublesome. Let's do this. Naruto's disappearance is classified as a confidential matter and is rated S. None of you can tell anyone. , especially you Sai. Regarding Kakashi and Sakura, Tsunade is relatively relieved. Whether the relationship between the two of them is with Naruto or with herself, there is nothing to say. They will never The only thing Gang Hand was worried about when Naruto was leaked was Sai. After all, Sai was Danzo's man and there was no room for Gang Hand to be careless.
When Sai saw Steel Hand looking at him, he immediately knew that Steel Hand's order was actually given to him. Sai immediately replied seriously: I know Lord Hokage, I will not convey Naruto's news, Bao Tuan Zang-sama, so please don’t worry, Hokage-sama.”
After hearing Sai's assurance, the steel hand nodded with satisfaction and continued: I will publicize Uzumaki Naruto to study with Jiraiya, and stay with Jiraiya temporarily, just so that he can use him to deceive everyone. You also need to discuss your own excuses, and I will send a message to Jiraiya to ask him to cooperate. In the end, we will secretly find Naruto's whereabouts. Let Jiraiya handle this matter.
Kakashi nodded to express his understanding and then continued: Then who from Team 7 will temporarily take Naruto's place?
Tsunade shook her head and said: We are not planning to add more people to Team 7 to replace Naruto for the time being. I plan to let Sakura receive training in lower body techniques in the recent period. As for Sai, you should also learn more sealing techniques recently. , this will be helpful to you in the future.”
The three of them nodded to express their understanding, and Steel Hand ended the interview after seeing that they understood. After Kakashi and the others left, Steele stood in the office and looked into the distance through the floor-to-ceiling windows, softly saying: You brat, you have to cheer up.
More than three months have passed since Naruto disappeared. On this day, many rebellious ninjas and some wandering samurai gathered in the underground exchange on the edge of the Land of Fire. They are all busy accepting and submitting some dangerous tasks.
At this time, the door of the underground exchange was opened, and a man wrapped in a huge black cloak walked in, with a ghost mask on his face. After he came in, the originally noisy underground exchange suddenly became quiet. down.
The cloaked man seemed to be used to the strange thing. He went directly to the counter where the task was submitted and said, Let me submit the task. After saying that, he took out a scroll and placed it on the counter. Then he took out another scroll and said: This is the target of this mission.
The counter lady picked up Naruto's mission scroll and read it carefully. While the counter lady was checking the mission scroll, some people in the exchange were whispering: This kid wearing a cloak and an oni mask is the blood Shura?
You don't want your life. Why do you dare to say anything? Stay away from me. I don't want to bring disaster to Chiyu. Don't drag us with you if you want to die. After saying this, he stayed away from the person who asked the question.
The counter lady quickly finished reading the mission scroll, and then opened the mission target scroll. A corpse appeared in front of the counter lady. The counter lady nodded and said: Well, it is the goal of this mission, the finance of the Country of Fire. Minister.
Who is actually the Minister of Finance of the Country of Fire? He is indeed a Blood Shura. He can actually kill the Minister of Finance of the Country of Fire. It is really amazing. You must know that the Minister of Finance of the Country of Fire is very afraid of being assassinated. Therefore, he often has dozens of ninja bodyguards with him, and a dozen of them are at the level of jounin, and the weakest ones are at the level of elite chuunin. Unexpectedly, they are still assassinated. Haha, how ironic. Seeing that it was the Minister of Finance of the Country of Fire, these people began to whisper again.
Someone else was curious: Who is this Blood Shura? He is so strong that he can even assassinate the Minister of Finance.
Someone replied: Blood Shura is very mysterious. I heard that he came here three months ago and took on an S-level mission as soon as he came. The most incredible thing is that he actually completed it in only half a day. Tasks, in the next three months, he has been accepting some S-level tasks, and each time he completed the task, he completed it in less than half a day, which is amazing.
I heard that he killed people when he first came here. Is this true? someone else asked.
The person next to him returned: Well, it's true. He also got the title of Blood Shura that day. I was there that day. I remember that when Blood Shura first arrived, it was too cold and attracted some people. Unconvinced, he went up and provoked a few words, but without saying a word, Blood Shura cut into pieces the bodies of those who provoked him in an extremely cruel way.
Someone else added: I know those people. They were rebel ninjas from the Kingdom of Earth and the Kingdom of Water. They were all elite jounin. They were killed at the hands of Blood Shura without even the ability to resist. That's called What a cruel person, torn into pieces alive. After saying that, he shuddered.
At this time, Blood Shura finished handing over the task and turned around. Everyone suddenly became quiet. Blood Shura ignored these people and walked out of the underground exchange directly. Everyone breathed a sigh of relief after Blood Shura came out. ,
Some of the timid ones even got cold and sighed: I finally left. I was really scared to death. I thought I was going to be killed.
After Blood Shura walked out of the underground exchange, he came to a nearby hidden cave. He sat down cross-legged, and the natural chakra around him was continuously absorbed into his body. After an unknown period of time, Blood Shura slowly opened his eyes and said: The speed of practicing this way is really too slow. It seems that Find some time to find the lustful immortal, and learn the immortal mode as soon as possible so that I can practice the Nine Transformations of the Demonic Dragon without so much effort.
Blood Shura took off his mask and said: It seems that I haven't worn a mask or this black cloak for a long time, and now I'm not used to it.
I saw Naruto's face revealed after Blood Shura took off his mask. This Blood Shura was the missing Uzumaki Naruto that Tsunade and Jiraiya were desperately looking for.
Naruto walked out of the cave. It was already dark. Naruto looked at the bright moon in the sky and said softly: Sister Anko, don't worry. No matter how difficult it is, I will try my best. , I will definitely resurrect you, don’t worry.”
