I, Naruto, started out with Hinata feeding me imported candy.

After the previous mission to capture Sasuke failed, Tsunade immediately summoned the ninjas and ordered them to track down Sasuke's whereabouts, determined to capture him.

Later, Tsunade learned from the Aburame clan that there was a fragrant insect outside Konoha Village.

Finding this insect will allow us to locate Sasuke's whereabouts.

Upon learning of the situation, Tsunade immediately issued a mission.

Class 7 and Class 8 went out of the village together to search for the micro-fragrant insect.

The entire eighth class was present.

As for Team 7, only Naruto remains.

Sasuke defected, Kakashi was caught in Itachi Uchiha's Tsukuyomi and was too exhausted to go on missions, while Sakura Haruno was taken in by Tsunade and was diligently training in medical ninjutsu.

In other words.

At this moment, Naruto represents Team 7.

Naruto heard that he was going to leave the village, and that he would be doing a mission with Hinata.

He doesn't care.

You can also go fishing outside the village and spend some quality time with your cute little wife.

It smells so good!!!

After Naruto realized what was happening, he naturally took Hinata's hand and walked towards the village entrance.

"Let's go."

...beg.

Chapter 108 Naruto: Let Kurenai live a life of widowhood? How can that be allowed? I have to make sacrifices and seize every opportunity?

Konoha Village, at the village entrance.

Kurenai, Kiba, and Shino were standing there bored, waiting.

Soon, Naruto and Hinata came into view.

"Naruto, over here."

Upon seeing the newcomer, Kiba Inuzuka immediately raised his arms above his head and waved them from side to side in greeting.

Within minutes, Naruto and Hinata reunited with the others.

Kurenai looked at Naruto in front of her, her beautiful red eyes filled with curiosity.

She had seen Naruto before and knew he was the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki.

At the same time, she had also learned about Naruto from Hinata before.

in particular--

She also learned about Naruto from Kakashi.

Kurenai Yuhi remembers it very clearly.

Kakashi once said that Naruto should never be underestimated.

even! !

His every move likely has an important purpose.

Moreover, Naruto has an endless stream of tricks up his sleeve.

Especially in terms of ninja tools, it is even more surprisingly impressive.

Thinking back to what Kakashi mentioned back then, Kurenai Yuhi always felt that it might have been a bit of an exaggeration.

At this moment, she looked at Naruto in front of her, his hands in his pockets, chatting and laughing with Hinata. He seemed very relaxed and comfortable, and it didn't seem as serious as Kakashi had said.

Just as she was pondering this, Naruto's voice rang out.

"Teacher Hong? Is something the matter?"

"Ah, it's nothing." Kurenai Yuhi, who was deep in thought, realized what was happening and waved her hand repeatedly, replying with a smile.

Naruto scratched his head when he saw the stunningly beautiful Kurenai Yuhi before him, feeling utterly bewildered.

But——

have to say.

Kurenai is truly beautiful; her entire being exudes an alluring charm.

Soon, Naruto thought of something else.

In the original story, Asuma dies, leaving Kurenai Yuhi to live a life of widowhood.

Thinking of this, Naruto secretly shook his head.

How is this possible?

How could he bear to let such a beautiful young woman live a life of widowhood?

If given the chance, I wouldn't mind taking a chance and making some sacrifices for Kurenai Yuhi.

To change Kurenai's tragic fate, he arranged for her to move into his mansion, where there were plenty of rooms and no fear of overcrowding.

At this moment, Kurenai Yuhi stopped focusing on Naruto.

She waved to everyone.

"Let's go find the fragrant insects."

evening.

The border of the Fire Nation.

Two men and one woman, dressed in red robes with auspicious cloud patterns, appeared here.

"what the hell?"

"Didn't we agree that it would just be me and Sasori going out to carry out the mission of capturing the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki?"

"Xiao Nan, what brings you here?"

"Could it be... that you've come to appreciate the beauty of my art?"

"Yes, that must be it!!!"

Deidara, who was walking at the front, turned to look at Konan behind him, scratched his head and said.

Especially towards the end, a hint of excitement appeared on his handsome face.

They even started imagining the scene of Minami being shocked by the explosion art.

"..."

"..."

At this moment, Sasori glanced at the excited Deidara and sneered, "Deidara, stop being so narcissistic. How could Konan possibly appreciate your useless art?"

"Huh? You actually said I'm useless art?!" Deidara's lips twitched violently, his face dark with displeasure.

“I’m just stating a fact,” Scorpion replied.

"You..." Deidara turned around, raised his right hand and pointed at Sasori, stomping his foot in anger, "Hmph, your Eternal Art is just trash, it's useless art!! Hmm!"

Upon hearing this, Scorpion's face contorted in anger, and he said with a serious expression, "You possess the beauty of eternity but will never understand it, just as you cannot understand why Konan came along mainly to see me display my puppet artworks."

When he finished speaking, he inadvertently praised himself and gave a self-aggrandizing speech.

Xiao Nan: (aich) "..."

Deidara: "..."

At this moment, Xiao Nan, who had been silent all along, was completely speechless. She looked at the artistic duo in front of her and glared slightly with her light orange eyes.

"Stop being so narcissistic, all of you."

"I came along purely to keep an eye on you guys and prevent you from fighting amongst yourselves."

After learning the reason, Sasori and Deidara both sighed inwardly.

They were there to supervise our mission, not to appreciate art.

Happy for nothing.

at this time.

A paper crane flew in from the sky.

Xiao Nan reached out and the paper crane landed steadily in her palm.

Open the paper crane and look at what's inside.

Her expression gradually became serious.

"what happened?"

Deidara, seeing Konan's serious expression, couldn't help but ask.

"Hiss!!" Konan took a deep breath, looked at the two people in front of her, and said in a deep voice, "We have found the target. The Nine-Tails Jinchuriki is not in Konoha Village."

"???" Deidara was taken aback at first, then quickly asked, "Where is he?"

“It’s right next to a stream, about twenty kilometers away from us,” Xiao Nan replied.

"Why is the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki running off to the outside of Konoha instead of staying in the village?" Deidara stroked his chin, puzzled.

"The message from the paper crane says that there are several people with the Jinchūriki. They must be on some kind of mission, right?" Konan said, looking at the paper crane in her hand.

Deidara and Sasori nodded in agreement.

It is indeed possible.

Deidara looked up at the sunset, waved his hand, and said, "Never mind that, let's finish the mission before it gets dark."

"Let's go." Xiao Nan waved to the two of them, and the three of them quickly left.

however--

Shortly after they left, the space suddenly began to distort.

Soon, a man wearing an orange swirling mask appeared from the distorted space.
