Infiltrating a Konohagakure Cannon Fodder Team, Running into Kushina, and Making a Quick Escape

Naruto extracted some information from the boy, then clapped his hands and had the Impure World Reincarnation Jonin the boy repeatedly.

Each time he narrowly escaped death but always recovered, after the ordeal, Naruto would always ask a random question. If he found that the boy's answer was different from what he had just said, then another round of torment would follow.

Within this Evil God Altar, time flows much more slowly than in reality. So he questioned and tormented the boy again and again until the boy stopped telling a single lie.

In a sense, the boy didn't actually lose out. He escaped with his life and received brutal combat training, even if he was unilaterally crushed.

The most important thing is that I didn't lose out; I survived, and that's more important than anything else.

As a consequence, he has now been replaced.

Naruto used his Transformation Jutsu to become the boy's appearance. The boy was about the same height as Naruto, and the difference was barely noticeable. After looking around to make sure it was safe, they headed straight for Konohagakure.

After handing over the paperwork, we were able to enter the gate smoothly.

He silently followed the man's instructions and returned the mission first. The boy's name was Beihiko, a commoner ninja. After the team completed their mission, they were attacked, and he was the only one who escaped.

"They're all dead?" The fat man in the mission management office glanced at the bloodstains on Naruto, then looked down at the blood-stained mission scroll. "Beihiko, right? Go register over there."

"Oh, okay." Naruto glanced around and found it to be similar to the second floor of the Hokage Building in his memory.

The room was round like a gourd, with an arched floor-to-ceiling window behind the junior official in the management office, making the entire second floor brightly lit. Naruto could even clearly see the nonchalant expression on the junior official's face, his excessive disdain accentuated by the wrinkles that appeared on his face.

During this period, deaths were all too common. Konohagakure was at war with the major ninja villages, and both sides were locked in a fierce battle, neither willing to back down.

"One of the five from Team 13 survives; he's transferred to Team 17." The chubby little officer was still putting on airs, not even glancing at Naruto, who was just a commoner ninja.

He lacked both talent and family background. He couldn't become Minato Namikaze, nor could he catch the eye of Jonin. Aside from struggling on missions, he had no other use.

The status of commoner ninjas isn't very high, but in Chunin still holds some prestige. However, this isn't peacetime; although it's not wartime, it's still a special period.

The Konohagakure Village (Konoha) is constantly clashing with the Sand (Sunagakure) and the Iwagakure Village (Kumogakure), and the Kirigakure) also getting involved.

Friction occurs daily among the Five Great Nations, creating a highly Yakumi. A single misstep could trigger a war between them, and if war does break out, Five Great Nations will almost certainly intervene.

However, war is unlikely to break out anytime soon; it's just that the young Beihiko was unlucky. He ran into the cunning ninjas of Kusagakure and was ambushed.

The ninjas of Kusagakure grew up wildly, and the village had almost no decent Ninjutsu. They could only steal Ninjutsu from everyone like little shiba.

Despite its hostility towards everyone, if the Five Great Nations were to actually attack it, the Land of Grass would undoubtedly be the first to kneel down.

However, these affairs between major powers are none of Naruto's concern for the time being. He's using a fake identity to research information and needs to find a way to infiltrate the Medical Unit.

However, he doesn't know Medical Ninjutsu, and he's already been transferred from the fallen Team 13 to Team 17. It's too late to change it now; it's not something he can decide.

We have no choice but to settle for second best and find a compromise.

The moment Naruto stepped out of the Hokage Building, the Nikko shone down like blades. Standing inside the yin-yang line, Naruto squinted. Since he couldn't join the Medical Unit, he'd just have to win over one of the female ninjas in the Medical Unit to be his mole.

Naruto wasn't bothered by this. This wasn't peacetime; nothing on him would leave a trace. He could simply walk away, and even a drop of sweat would disappear with him.

He's now Chunin boy Beihiko, so deduct his merit points as much as you want! With that thought, Naruto instantly felt relieved. Heaven, earth, and I know what's going on.

Traveling through time is so much fun!

Naruto paused on either side of the street, somewhat disoriented. After hesitating for a long time, he tentatively walked into an alley.

After taking the wrong turn several times, he finally returned to the home of young Beihiko. It was more of a low-ceilinged storeroom than a home; dark, damp, and impoverished.

Fortunately, Beihiko is an orphan, so he doesn't have to worry about his family finding out anything. This saves him some trouble, and he can finally get some rest.

However, Naruto wasn't picky; he boiled water for a bath and went to sleep as usual.

As a ninja, there is nothing he cannot endure. He can live in a fully furnished house, and he can also live in this dark and damp little room.

He slept until he naturally woke up and then sorted out the current situation.

He is now a civilian ninja Beihiko, and has been transferred to Team 17. It is quite common for civilian ninjas to be in situations like his, escaping death and then being transferred to another temporary team.

A few lucky guys got together, and after some time getting to know each other, they became new partners.

Thinking of this, Naruto glanced at the somewhat worn green vest on the wall. He could still vaguely see some bloodstains, and couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of saliva.

"Damn it, the Will of Fire! Was that Third Hokage so stingy? He didn't even give out a piece of clothing!"

The Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, was actually unaware of these matters. Powerful figures lurked within the village, while external forces lurked in a menacing manner. His focus was always on the big picture, balancing the forces within and outside the village.

He spends all day either puffing on his cigarette or sitting at his desk reviewing documents submitted by his subordinates. The old man isn't completely blind yet; he's still in his prime.

With formidable strength and a clear mind, he is like an old wolf or a falcon.

When I went outside, the weather was a bit gloomy.

Konohagakure looked somewhat unfamiliar, but thankfully the layout hadn't changed too much. Apart from some minor alterations to the alleyways, the locations of the Hokage Building and Konoha Hospital remained the same.

He can't go anywhere in his current state; his immediate priority is to get something to eat. He's not worried about anyone recognizing him now that his comrade has died in battle.

After using the Transformation Jutsu, he even wore Beihiko's clothes. He also ransacked Beihiko's hiding place, finding only a mere ten thousand taels.

He was a little stunned when he found Beihiko's savings account: 10,000 taels?

Even after he entered the Evil God Altar and tortured Beihiko repeatedly, he cried and begged for mercy but still wouldn't reveal where the rest of the money was hidden! Damn it!!

Are you kidding me? Even if prices are low now, a bowl of ramen only costs 15 ryo, which is clearly not enough for Naruto.

Although he wasn't a big spender, he was planning to get close to a female medical ninja. But right now, this amount of money was definitely not enough.

His clothes were old, and his place of residence was rather dilapidated. Could it be that he relied on his looks? But the problem was that the boy he had chosen was quite ordinary-looking.

It's too late for regrets; Naruto has no other choice.

He slurped up the Ichiraku Ramen and then gulped down the broth. Finally, a warm feeling settled in his stomach, and his lower abdomen swelled up.

Naruto looked down and touched his stomach, then glanced at the man who had gotten him pregnant. He muttered under his breath, "Young Ichiraku's Teuchi Ichiraku are really nothing to brag about."

Which Otsutsuki Mother Tree took a liking to him and gave birth to the adorable little Ayame?

Little did anyone know that his muttering was seen by Teuchi Ichiraku, who, thinking the guest had a problem, immediately teleported over and asked nervously.

"Sir, is the ramen not to your liking?"

Naruto was startled by Ichiraku's Ichiraku face as it leaned in, and instinctively wanted to deny it. Honestly, the ramen broth was rich and the portion was generous.

"I'm sorry, if you're not satisfied, how about we give you a free one-day voucher?"

Upon hearing this, Naruto swallowed the words he was about to say. He coughed, nodded solemnly, and said...

"There are indeed some things I'm not satisfied with, for example, the ramen."

Seeing Naruto's hesitant and sighing expression, Teuchi Ichiraku felt even more guilty.

It was a quiet time in the shop, and he thought that perhaps the ramen had been too crowded earlier and the ramen was served too late, so the taste had changed. This customer couldn't bring himself to say it; he was so kind.

"Here's another coupon for you!" said Teuchi Ichiraku sincerely.

"No, no! How can I accept this?" Naruto looked guilty and opened his mouth, "It's all my fault for having such unique tastes, I don't deserve to eat ramen."

Teuchi Ichiraku was stunned. He had seen difficult customers before, but he had never seen such a kind customer.

"This is a two-week free voucher, please be sure to accept it."

"Isn't this a bad idea?"

"Welcome back next time." Teuchi Ichiraku greeted Naruto with a broad smile as he left.

Walking down the street, Naruto counted the free meal coupons in his hand, estimating that it would be enough to eat for free for a month, and immediately beamed with joy. He'd probably have to be careful with his money during this time, saving where he could and spending where he could.

When Teuchi Ichiraku leisure, that's when his mind goes a little crazy. Perhaps that's what a craftsman strives for, and Naruto doesn't feel any guilt about it.

He stored the ramen coupon in his Sealing Space, planning to first meet up with some teammates who had also escaped death as lucked as he was. He wanted to see if these survivors truly possessed superhuman abilities.

Team 17, numbering about four or five people.

Whatever, no one's more reckless than me. I'll just try to figure out a way to get by, but finding the information is more important; there are still many taboo research topics in Konohagakure at this time.

Lost in thought, Naruto wasn't paying much attention while walking and bumped into someone at a corner with a bang.

Fortunately, the other person was also very agile. After swaying for a moment, they regained their balance, rubbed their forehead, and groaned as they looked at Naruto, saying in an annoyed tone.

"How old are you? Don't you watch where you're going?"

Judging from the voice, it was a rather feisty girl. Naruto looked up apologetically, but he was stunned the moment he saw who it was.

"What's wrong with you? Have you gone mad?" Little Chili lived up to her name.

Kushina rubbed her head, wondering what was wrong with her today. Losing money was bad enough, but to make matters worse, she ran into an idiot who bumped into her and didn't even apologize.

"Oh, I'm sorry." Naruto at a ninety-degree angle, feeling slightly guilty.

Upon encountering his own mother on the street, he felt both physically and psychologically uncomfortable. After apologizing, he wanted to run away, feeling a bit guilty and not wanting to be associated with the Minato couple.

"Why are you running?!" Kushina grabbed Naruto.

"I lost money!" Naruto blurted out without thinking.

Kushina's pupils dilated slightly as she looked at Naruto with a surprised expression, and she exclaimed "Eh?"

"What a coincidence, I also lost money today."

"But... I didn't find any money either. Why don't you let me go, and next time I find money, I'll give you half?" Naruto said urgently, trying to run away.

"If you found the money, it's yours. Why should you share half with me?" Kushina tugged at Naruto's clothes, refusing to let go, and continued to struggle. "Hey, why do you look like you're about to run away?"

"No." Naruto really wanted to run away and didn't want to stay there any longer.

He thought that Konohagakure was so big, and the identity he was using was just that of a commoner ninja. He figured he wouldn't run into Minato and his wife, since they weren't ninjas on the same level.

His goal was simple and direct: to check the information and get his hands on it. Following the principle of "a thief never leaves empty-handed," he would look at whatever he could find, since nothing from this time and space could be taken away anyway.

He'd like to observe more, memorize things, and take them with him. However, he wouldn't dare to change the fate of the main characters; it would be awkward if he ended up losing his own life.

Therefore, he particularly wanted to avoid contact with the parents of the second generation, especially the Minato couple who were directly related to his original self. He would avoid them if possible.

"That's weird," Kushina muttered, but still let go of Naruto.

Naruto felt like he'd been granted a pardon and quickly made his escape.

After calming himself down in a small alley, he patted his Chunin his chest and let out a long sigh of relief. He walked along Konohagakure Street for a while and then entered the Ninja Academy.

The Hokage Building isn't a place anyone can go; at least his Team 17 isn't qualified to gather there. Even when teammates meet, they can only do so in abandoned classrooms at the Ninja Academy.

As he went upstairs, he was still thinking about how to get close to the Medical Unit, considering whether he should get injured to sneak in. When he looked up, he was already at the door of the abandoned classroom.

Push open the door.

To his surprise, there were four people standing inside: three men and one woman. The three men were equally unremarkable in appearance, and like Beihiko, they were cannon fodder Chunin.

However, the only girl standing there made Naruto pause for a moment. What attracted him was not that the girl had a face that looked just like Rin Nohara, but the white cross armband on her right arm.

He remembered that Sakura also had one; it seemed to belong to a member of the Medical Unit.

With a gulp, Naruto stared at the girl's armband and swallowed hard. Who would have thought that he'd just dozed off, only to have his pillow handed to him by itself?

Naruto's actions were noticed by the three boys, who inwardly sneered. They thought to themselves, "This guy looks ordinary, but I never expected him to be so shameless."

In broad daylight, swallowing saliva in front of a young girl. Ugh! Disgusting! He always swallows secretly.

It's not their fault; these days, the Chunin squad is just cannon fodder, their lives Chunin a thread. Suddenly, a beautiful medical-nin girl appears, and no one can withstand the test.

"Ahem, now that everyone's here, let's introduce ourselves." A somewhat mature-looking boy said, "I'll go first, my name is Yamashiro Nobiyori."
