In fact, Naruto had already noticed the arrival of people nearby.
Now that he had gained initial control of the Nine-Tailed Power, his five senses were extremely sharp. He could clearly sense every movement within a hundred meters. He could even know the people and things around him without looking.
When Shui Mu had arrived, he had already noticed him and knew about his situation and the hostages he was holding.
He didn't move because he had a plan in mind. He wasn't afraid of Shui Mu's sneak attack. He was waiting for the latter to arrive and give him a thunderous blow.
However, he thought that he had guessed the ending, but he did not guess the real process.
Hatata's delay was undoubtedly to ruin Mizuki's sneak attack plan. Naruto was aware of this when he noticed the changes in the battlefield.
When Hatata was injured and fell to the ground, Naruto opened his eyes at the same time. He instantly removed the heavy objects tied to his body and jumped up to catch Hatata's delicate body.
"Woo! It hurts..." Hatata's face was pale, and her body was trembling slightly. Her eyebrows were twisted into a ball, and it was obvious that she was enduring intense pain.
"I'm sorry." Naruto suddenly apologized. Even he himself did not know why he did this, but he felt that he was indeed apologetic.
Hearing the apology, Hatata opened her eyes, but her vision was already blurry. She could only see a hazy golden light in front of her. She forced a smile and then fainted.
Naruto lowered his head to check that Hatata's life was not in danger. After that, he turned around and faced Mizuki.
At this moment, Shui Mu was standing on a branch, looking down at Naruto with killing intent in his eyes.
"Brat, no one will come to save you today!”Shuimu sneered and threw a shuriken at Naruto." Die!"”
"Humph!"
Seeing Mizuki throw his shuriken at him, Naruto sneered.
"Are you trying to escape? Hiding from pursuit?" He analyzed coldly.
"Oh? You're very smart!" Shui Mu was shocked, but he forced himself to remain calm. He threw out all the shurikens he had on him, then turned around and fled.
He did not dare to delay any longer because the village had already noticed him when he left the village.
And just now, he saw that Naruto's strength had greatly improved---even he couldn't have rushed over to catch him.
"How did this brat suddenly become so powerful? If I were to fight him, I would definitely be entangled. When the Muye Guards arrive, I would be finished.”Shui Mu was a little angry and regretful." If I knew this would happen, I wouldn't have ambushed you. There wouldn't have been so much trouble.”
He fled quickly, using all the skills he had learned over the years to escape, but even so, he still could not escape the pursuit.
However, what he did not expect was that the person chasing after him was not the Jounin from Koba's guards, but Naruto, alone.
"You little brat, don't look for death!”Shui Mu warned coldly, his eyes filled with killing intent.
Naruto ignored him and leaped forward.
"Ding!"
Sparks flashed in the darkness. At that moment, the two of them clashed and quickly separated before charging forward again.
The second time they engaged in close combat, the two of them still refused to give in. Neither of them could break through the other's bitterness.
Just as they were in a stalemate, a light suddenly flashed behind Naruto. The light disappeared in a flash, and then Shui Mu felt a sharp pain in his waist.
"Woo! What did he use…Me?" Shui Mu only had the time to think about this before his body crashed heavily onto the ground. His entire body made a series of cracking sounds as countless bones were broken.
"Chi!"
Naruto descended from the sky and gave him the final blow. The pain pierced deep into his heart.
"Wu, you, you actually grasped nine, nine..."
Mizuki's eyes were wide open as he stared behind Naruto. His face was filled with shock and fear as he died with grievances.
Naruto pulled out the Kuna, and Mizuki fell to the ground softly, without a trace of life.
"What is this?" He noticed that there was a huge scroll on Shui Mu's back. It looked very powerful.
He untied the scroll and unfolded it. At a glance, he saw four big words: The Book of Seals.
"Book of Seals? It seemed to be a forbidden item in the village. Did he steal it?”Naruto frowned as he read the contents of the scroll." These ninjutsu... It was very complicated! I won't be able to learn it in a short time…"
"I can help you record it." At this moment, a voice sounded in his heart. It was the System." Unroll the scroll. I'll scan the contents on it. This way, I can record the contents.”
"Record the contents? This is a good idea."
Naruto nodded and unfolded the huge scroll according to the system's method. The latter quickly scanned and recorded the contents of the scroll.
The process was very simple. Naruto only needed to take a look at the scroll to scan it.
When the system finished scanning and recording the contents of the scroll, Naruto began to put away the scroll. The sound of wind breaking could be heard from the forest in the distance. Someone was running quickly.
Not long after, those people arrived in front of Naruto, who was about to finish collecting the scrolls.
"Eh? It's the Nine-Tailed Human Pillar Strength."
The group of people who had arrived were the guards of Kinoha. Some of them recognized Naruto and turned to report to their captain.
The captain wore a ghost mask on his head, making it impossible to see his true face, but one could be sure that he was a member of the Dark Group.
He walked in front of Naruto and looked at the unfurled Book of Seals scroll on the ground. A sharp light flashed in his eyes as he said coldly,""Little brat, what are you doing here?”
"I'm cultivating." Naruto put away the scroll, stood up, and responded.
"Cultivation?" The captain glanced around and found that there were many collapsed giant trees nearby. They had been kicked down by someone.
After confirming the veracity of Naruto's words, his eyes remained cold as he looked down at Shuimu's corpse.""What's going on?"
"He wanted to kill me, so I killed him.”Naruto said calmly.
“...”
Hearing this, the other team members were shocked, but the captain narrowed his eyes and sized up Naruto again.
"Come back with us! I need you to report to Lord Naruto.”In the end, he spoke coldly.
"Alright." Naruto dusted off his clothes and brushed off the dirt on his body. Then, he turned around and leaped up to Shinata's side." It's not good to carry the injury on my leg…"
After some consideration, he reached out and picked up the unconscious Hatata by her waist.
"Oh, why does it seem like…It's a little heavy…" He muttered to himself.
