This was the first update, the second update at 7 pm.
Naruto Building, Koba Ninja Village.
Ape Flying Sun Slash smoked as he looked at Hatake Kakashi, Uchiha Sasuke, and Haruno Sakura in front of him. He was silent for a long time before he opened his mouth and said,""Alright, I understand everything. You can go back. Let the three children stay and live in the village.”
"Yes, Lord Naruto." Kakashi nodded slightly and prepared to leave with Sasuke and Haruno Sakura.
A hint of worry appeared in Xiao Ying's eyes.""Lord Naruto, Naruto is so strong. Even if the person chasing him is a Jounin, he might still be able to escape and survive.”
"I know what I'm doing. You can leave first.”Flying Ape Sun Slash waved his hand, indicating that Xiao Ying didn't need to say anything more.
"Oh."
Xiao Ying turned around and left, feeling a little lonely.
……
Sakura and Sasuke met Kakashi not long after they parted with Naruto. They ran all over the mountain but did not see Naruto. Kakashi had fought with Boss Pu before and knew the strength of this group. Naruto was likely to have been captured, or... He was killed. Realizing the seriousness of the situation, and the three ruthless characters in the Zhensong Mountain Range, he decided to bring everyone back to the village first.
Returning to the village, Kakashi reported the news that Naruto was very likely to be in danger to Yuan Fei.
"Sigh, we owe Naruto and his family too much.”
After remaining silent for a long time, Yuan Fei could not help but sigh. His wrinkled old face could not help revealing a trace of fatigue and apology. He glanced at the Dark Group member standing beside him."Have the third squad send out a few teams to find Naruto. Whether he's alive or dead, we have to bring him back to the village.”
"Yes."
The Dark Group member nodded slightly, and then with a whoosh, he quickly disappeared from the room.
Five minutes later, about twenty to thirty members of the Dark Group flew out of the village.
……
Muye Street.
Ino, Shikamaru, Ding Ji, and their teacher, Asama, were preparing to carry out their mission when they ran into Haruno Sakura.
Xiao Ying walked down the street in loneliness. She did not care about anything, as if she had lost her soul.
"Xiao Ying!"
Ino couldn't help but call out, but Sakura didn't respond. He couldn't help but ask in surprise,""What's wrong with Xiao Ying? She's usually very active…He wanted to ask her if Naruto was with her, but forget it. It was pointless to ask.”
"Ino, if you don't hurry, you'll fall behind.”
Asma's voice came from the front.
"Coming!"
Ino retracted his gaze and jogged toward Asma and the others.
"I killed Naruto... If only I were stronger. If I were stronger, I wouldn't be useless.”Xiao Ying muttered softly, her lonely face filled with self-blame and pain.
"Little girl, your name is Haruno Sakura, right? You and Naruto Uzumaki are in the same group, right?”
Just as she was walking forward with her head lowered, an old and seemingly kind voice suddenly sounded in front of her. Sakura looked up and saw an old man in his fifties or sixties. Half of his face was covered with white gauze, and he had a pineapple head. There was also a cross-shaped scar on his jaw.
At this moment, the old man was smiling at her. Sakura did not know who this old man was, but he actually asked about Naruto. She nodded listlessly and said with a dejected expression,"Yes, but... Naruto, he's probably already... No! Naruto was so strong, he would definitely survive!”
"Oh? Was Naruto Uzumaki very powerful? I've been paying attention to him since he was in the Ninja Academy. He barely passed the graduation exam and became a ninja. His strength shouldn't be that outstanding.”the old man asked, feigning surprise.
"Hmph, that's because we were blind. Naruto is actually very powerful. He was able to save us from the hands of two Jounin during this mission.”
As Xiao Ying spoke, she immediately felt that this old man in front of her was very suspicious. Why was he asking her this for no reason? She immediately stared at him suspiciously and asked,"Why are you asking this?"
"Oh? Hehe…Looks like I forgot to introduce myself. I'm the Chief Elder of the Elder Group, Shimura Tanzou.”Shimura Tenzo smiled and introduced himself.
" You're Lord Tuan Zang!?" Although she had never seen him before, Xiao Ying had heard of the name of Shimura Tanzou. Her face immediately lit up and she suddenly begged,"Lord Tanzo, please save Naruto. We reported the situation to Lord Naruto, but he didn't take any action. If we're late, Naruto will really be in danger!”
"This is not easy to do. If I don't know if Naruto is really alive, I don't dare to rashly send people.”Tuan Zang said with a troubled expression.
"Naruto is definitely still alive! Hurry up and save him."
Seeing Haruno Sakura's confidence, a glimmer of light flashed in Tanzou's eyes. However, he smiled and asked,""He's a Genin. How can he survive against three Jounin at the same time?”
"No, Naruto will become like a fox, and he knows a kind of ninjutsu that travels through time and space! He could escape at any time!”Xiao Ying subconsciously continued. When she blurted it out, she felt that she was a little rash and secretly cursed herself for being an idiot. Kakashi Sensei had already told him not to tell anyone about Naruto turning into a fox and traveling through time. Haruno Sakura, oh Haruno Sakura, you're such an idiot!
"What? You said Naruto turned into a fox and could travel through time?”Tuan Zang's eyes were wide open. His old hands grabbed Xiao Ying's shoulders tightly, trembling with excitement.
"It hurts…" Xiao Ying said uncomfortably as her shoulders were pinched.
It was only then that Tuan Zang realized that he had been too excited. He looked younger on the surface but was actually more than seventy years old. An old man who was over fifty years old was actually so excited. It was not surprising that he had lost his composure. The news that came out of Sakura's mouth was too shocking!
Becoming a fox? Why?
That was because it was a tail beast transformation!
Space-time travel? And why?
It could only be the second and fourth generation Naruto's Flying Thunder God!
"I'm sorry. I was too happy to hear that Naruto might still be alive, so I was a little excited.”He released his hand and took a deep breath."If that's the case, I'll go back now and send someone to search for Naruto. However, you can't tell anyone about this.”
"I understand." Haruno Sakura nodded repeatedly and said happily in her heart," This was great. There was finally a big shot in the village who was willing to think for Naruto. However, he did not know what the relationship between this Danzou Lord and Naruto was...
……
"I didn't expect that the little brat would learn from me in the end.”After Tuan Zang returned to the mansion, the amiable expression on his face had long been replaced by malevolence and gloominess. He narrowed his eyes and said in a deep voice,"Ah Feng."
"Your subordinate is here."
A figure slowly appeared behind him. This person bowed slightly and replied respectfully.
If Ino was here, he would definitely exclaim in shock when he saw this person. This person was called Shan Zhongfeng, and he was also a member of their mountain clan. In terms of seniority, Ino would have to call him uncle.
"Immediately order Sai and Takeda to each lead a team to find the Nine-tailed Devil. We must bring him back alive.”
Hearing Tuan Zang's orders, Shan Zhong Feng nodded slightly and left.
