Just after returning home, Naruto sensed someone in the yard.
He pushed open the door of Training Room, walked up, and saw two people sitting in the courtyard.
Jiraiya was seen with his arms folded across his chest and a solemn expression on his face.
And Tsunade crossed his hands and pursed his lips into a line.
When the two heard the sound, they looked up at Naruto at the same time, and then exchanged glances, but neither of them spoke first.
Looking at the expressions of the two of them, Naruto guessed that something must be up.
Then he asked, "What happened, Pervy Sage, Tsunade mother-in-law?"
Naruto walked up to the two of them and glanced between them.
For two Sannin to appear in his yard at the same time with such expressions, it is definitely not a small matter.
"Um...Naruto, hold on still, something happened."
Jiraiya scratched the back of his head and shifted his gaze to Tsunade.
"What's wrong?"
Naruto frowned.
Jiraiya usually laughs and laughs even if the sky falls, but now he is hesitant about how to speak.
Tsunade took a deep breath, looked at Naruto, and did not beat around the bush again.
"This afternoon, after I finished teaching Karin and Sakura Medical Ninjutsu, I found that a member of Root was secretly observing."
"The guy committed suicide on the spot after I found him, and I didn't ask anything."
"I felt something was wrong, so I asked ANBU to conduct a comprehensive investigation, and found that Iruka and Ino were missing."
"After ANBU investigated, it was confirmed that Root took the person away."
"That damn old thing won't stop even without Root."
Speaking of this, Tsunade looked furious, and then after calming down, he said to Naruto:
"Naruto, Danzo arrested them obviously because they came for you."
"I have asked ANBU to track them. I left Karin and Sakura in Hokage Tower. They are guarded there by ANBU, so they are safe for the time being."
After listening to Naruto, the expression on his face did not change much, but the Chakra in his body overflowed a little, and a leaf on the table was blown over by this Chakra.
He did not ask such irrelevant questions as "Why is Sakura also following Tsunade to learn Medical Ninjutsu?"
Instead, Good and Evil Perception and Mind's Eye of the Kagura are turned on at the same time, spreading out full power.
In an instant, the entire Konoha, including all the Chakra in the forest outside the village, entered his range of perception at the same time.
A moment later, Naruto captured Danzo's Chakra in the mountains northwest of the village.
Danzo Chakra There are more than a dozen Chakra next to it, as well as two familiar Chakra.
Naruto recognized that this was the Chakra of Iruka and Ino. Their Chakra was weak but still alive.
Naruto opened his eyes and glanced in that direction.
Then with a thought in his mind, Light Release Chakra surged out of his body, and his body instantly lit up Golden Radiance, and his whole person was like a lit lamp in the night.
"Naruto, why is your body glowing?"
Jiraiya opened his eyes wide and looked at Naruto, whose whole body was glowing, with a look of disbelief on his face.
Naruto did not answer.
It turned into a golden light and soared into the sky, flying towards the northwest of the village.
A few leaves on the ground were picked up by the air waves, swirling in the air and slowly falling.
Jiraiya looked at the golden light disappearing in the night sky. It took him a few seconds to come back to his senses. He turned to look at Tsunade and asked, "Is this the power of Nine-Tails?"
Tsunade stood up and grabbed the Hokage bamboo hat on the table.
"No, it wasn't like this at all when he showed me the Nine-Tails Chakra form before."
"No? Could this be that kid's trump card again?"
"How many moves does he have that he hasn't shown yet?"
Jiraiya secretly guessed after hearing this.
Tsunade did not answer. He put the hat on his head and immediately ordered to a waiting ANBU: "Notify all ANBU that the target is in the northwest mountainous area and set off immediately."
After saying that, Tsunade grabbed Jiraiya who was still in a daze and said, "Stop talking nonsense and follow me quickly."
"This kid rushed over alone. He was late. Danzo probably didn't even have any bones left."
In the sky over Konoha, a golden light flashed across the village.
A little girl lying on the window sill on the street pulled her mother's sleeve and shouted, "Mom, look, there's a shooting star!"
The little girl's mother looked up at the dark night sky, rubbed the little girl's hair, and said with a smile, "Tenten has meteors everywhere. Have you been playing outside for too long?"
When the little girl heard that her mother didn't believe her, she angrily threw away her mother's hand, her whole face bulging into a bun.
A meatball shop owner who had just closed his stall also saw this golden light. He rubbed his eyes and thought he was dazzled by standing for too long today, so he didn't take it to heart.
"That's..."
Some Jōnin saw the fleeting golden light, with thoughtful expressions on their faces.
Northwest mountainous area.
Danzo stood on a flat rock platform with a cane, with more than a dozen Root members standing behind him. Each person's position was carefully arranged to form a semicircular encirclement.
The unconscious Ino and Iruka were thrown on the ground at the edge. Several Root were squatting next to them, Sealing Technique ready, just waiting for the order from Danzo.
"Sir Danzo, Hinata Hyuga has been at Hyuga's residence all day today and has not gone out. Root's people cannot attack without alerting Hyuga Clan."
"Karin Uzumaki and Sakura Haruno have been practicing Medical Ninjutsu in Hokage Tower all day today. Fire Fox, who was responsible for monitoring, was discovered on the spot by Fifth Hokage and committed suicide."
A Root ninja knelt on one knee in front of Danzo and reported point by point in an emotionless tone.
Danzo listened with an expressionless face, and tapped the crutch on the ground gently.
"So, you only captured two people in today's mission."
Hearing this Root Ninja trembled slightly and lowered his head.
"Yes, Master Danzo, please punish me."
"Humph, what's the use of punishment? Now Root you are the only ones left."
Danzo snorted coldly and glanced at Ino and Iruka who were unconscious on the ground, thinking about the importance of these two people to Nine-Tails Jinchuriki.
Ino Yamanaka, and Naruto Uzumaki have been in the same class since childhood. They have a close relationship with Naruto Uzumaki. They were also close to Naruto Uzumaki at a previous party.
Iruka, Naruto Uzumaki's closest teacher during the Ninja Academy period.
The two of them combined should be enough to lure Naruto Uzumaki over.
After being lured, as soon as he steps into the range of Sealing Formation and Kotoamatsukami is activated, no matter how strong Naruto Uzumaki is, it will become the sharpest knife in his Danzo hand.
At this moment, Root, the person responsible for sensing and alerting at the edge, suddenly opened his eyes.
Just now, a Chakra signal crossed the edge of his perception range
This Chakra signal was so fast that as soon as he caught it, it was no longer within the sensing range.
"Master Danzo, I sensed a flash of Chakra!"
This Root ninja immediately reported to Danzo.
"What does fleeting mean?"
