Chapter 66 Payne
After leaving the meeting room, Chiyo found Temari and Kankuro waiting outside.
"Um, Chiyo-sama..." Temari seemed hesitant to speak, her eyes filled with uncertainty and hope. "Gaara...
Kankuro also wanted to say something: "Lady Chiyo..."
Chiyo gestured for them to quiet down before slowly saying, "Don't worry, I will personally go find him this time, and I will definitely bring Gaara back!"
As she spoke, Granny Chiyo looked at Temari as if recalling something, her gaze softening slightly. Even though she was about to retire, she still had to be so active. The younger generation of Sunagakure, you need to grow up quickly…
"Sasuke!" a surprised voice rang out.
"?" Sasuke stopped his training when he heard the familiar voice. However, the moment he released the clone, he felt dizzy and was suddenly grabbed by the neck by Naruto.
"Cough...cough, you bottom-of-the-class kid! Let go of my hand right now!"
Noticing Sasuke's uneven breathing, Naruto awkwardly let go of his hand, coughed twice to cover it up, and said, "Sorry, I got a little excited after not seeing him for a few days."
Ignoring Naruto, Sasuke shook his head. This method of training was indeed much faster, but if he created too many clones, he really couldn't handle it. He really didn't know how Naruto could mentally withstand creating so many clones for training.
Sasuke looked around, somewhat puzzled, and asked, "Where's Jiraiya?"
Upon hearing this, Naruto seemed to remember something and said indignantly, "The perverted sage, Kakashi-sensei, and a guy with a stern face who calls himself Yamato were discussing something with Shion-sensei, and they kicked me out like a kid on the spot."
"..."
Seeing Naruto's expression, Sasuke rubbed his temples speechlessly: "So you don't know what this mission is, right?"
"No, I know the mission is to rescue people!"
"Who are you saving?"
Naruto was speechless for a moment, then awkwardly changed the subject, saying, "...By the way, what about that guy without eyebrows, what's his name, Gaara?"
Sasuke: "...Disappeared."
"?! That's right, it's about saving him." Upon hearing this, Naruto suddenly had a flash of inspiration and said.
Upon hearing this, Sasuke's lips twitched slightly, and he sighed, saying, "This mission is to rescue Reikawa Uzumaki. He was captured by the Akatsuki. As for Gaara, he was very likely captured by the Akatsuki as well."
"What?!" Naruto was stunned when he heard the news.
After hearing the news that the Konoha ninjas had come to provide support, Temari, Kankuro, and Mari also came over. Looking at the two of them, Naruto seemed much easier to talk to than Sasuke, who had a cold expression.
So, Temari and two others asked Naruto if they could do their best to find Gaara.
However, Naruto hadn't yet recovered from the news of Reikawa's capture, and hearing the three of them talking at once, he felt a little dizzy.
Seeing this, Sasuke pulled Naruto away and said coldly to the three of them, "Alright, if we can find him, Konoha will definitely bring Gaara back."
Temari and the other two exchanged glances, but they weren't dissatisfied with Sasuke's attitude. After all, they were the ones asking for his help. Temari turned around and gestured to Jasmine.
Jasmine took a deep breath, stepped forward, and said cautiously, "Please accept this. It's a small token of our appreciation. Although it may not be as good as Konoha's, we just wanted to do something for you."
Seeing that Naruto and Sasuke were somewhat puzzled, Temari explained, "This is a medical kit. The medicine inside can deal with most of the toxins made by Sunagakure. And here are some soldier pills that we specially made. They have a very good recovery effect... Of course, we don't expect you to need them, but we're just doing this in case."
Sasuke wasn't interested in any of this, but Naruto scratched his head and accepted it half-heartedly. In his eyes, saving people was definitely something he had to do, especially since both Reikawa and Gaara had been captured by Akatsuki: "Don't worry, fan-wielding sister, we'll definitely bring Gaara back."
However, at this moment, Kakashi suddenly appeared next to Naruto, grabbed Naruto's head and scolded him, "Naruto, don't make promises about things like this."
"Kakashi-sensei!"
Ignoring Naruto, Kakashi, with his eyes half-open, turned to Temari and the other two and said, "We will do our best to find Gaara's whereabouts, but whether we can bring him back, whether he is dead or alive, is not guaranteed. Moreover, our people from Konoha have also been captured this time. If anything happens, rescuing our people from Konoha will definitely be our priority."
Temari paused for a moment after hearing this before slowly saying, "Well, we just wanted to help out in a way. Now that the items have been delivered, we'll take our leave."
After saying that, Temari gestured for Kankuro and Mari to leave together.
After they left, Jiraiya and the others came over: "Naruto and Sasuke, are you ready? We should go. The enemy this time is very strong, so you two better not run around, or I'll have someone send you back immediately!"
"Yes!" ×2
As if struck by a thought, Sasuke suddenly asked in confusion, "Speaking of which, so much time has passed, how are we supposed to find the past?"
Upon hearing this, Aburame Shiki took out a small, relatively enclosed cage from her pocket and explained to everyone, "This is a Scent Insect, an insect that is on the verge of extinction in the ninja world. Its characteristic is that it can track and find any scent it smells, no matter how faint it is."
Upon hearing this, Naruto curiously stepped forward to take a look, but after observing for a while, he could only remark, "I don't see anything special about it."
Seeing this, Yu Nuzhi's eyes twitched slightly, and she began to explain: "The female of the 'micro-fragrant insect' lays eggs once every few years when it rains. The eggs hatch the next morning and instantly form pupae. When the adult insect emerges from the pupa, it can lead us to the location of the scent by letting it smell an item that has a certain person's scent. However, the downside is that it can only recognize that one scent after that."
Furthermore, the use of the micro-fragrant insect has been discontinued due to its scarcity; I only managed to obtain one through special privileges. I had been suppressing its growth as a precaution, and I didn't expect it to actually come in handy.
……
Meanwhile, on Uchiha Gen's side, when they were halfway there, Konan blindfolded him with several sheets of white paper: "..."
With his vision gone, Uchiha Gen couldn't even complain that he already knew where Akatsuki's headquarters was. And with no scenery to see, he got so bored that he fell asleep on the way.
Traveling by air, the group quickly arrived at their destination. Meanwhile, Uchiha Gen regained consciousness as his surroundings changed. Had they finally arrived?
Now that the white paper was no longer obscuring his vision, Gen Uchiha opened his eyes and saw a black cavern all around him, the entire environment exuding a faint, cool feeling.
What appeared before Uchiha Gen was a person dressed in black clothes with red clouds, with black sticks stuck in his body, orange hair, and the Rinnegan.
