Chapter 34

A redheaded masked man was walking through the dilapidated buildings of Uzushiogakure. This person is, of course, Naruto Uzumaki.

As for why his hair was red, it was to hide his identity. Since he is an Uzumaki, he immediately thought of changing his hair color to red.

Nearly 1.5 years had passed since Naruto came to Uzushiogakure. Naruto has grown so much stronger in the past 1.5 years.

First, he had developed ninjutsu techniques. He had fully mastered Rasengan and was gradually able to wield Rasenshuriken.

Also, thanks to the information he received from his father and the Uzumaki clan, he made his own sign to use in the Flying Thunder God Technique (Hiraishin) and he started teleporting at short distances.

He hadn't tried teleporting long distances yet because he didn't think he could make it. After all, he didn't want a part of his body to be lost when he reached the target location.

He had greatly improved his Mangekyou Sharingan and started using it without any problems. To mention, Naruto's Mangekyou was very different from the others. While the others only had a few abilities, Naruto was able to use all abilities. On top of that, he didn't have the disadvantage of being blind.

He was able to use the 9-tailed version 2 form for a long time without losing consciousness while controlling Kurama's chakra. He could also do partial transformations.

There was a pause in developing Shinju's form. Along with Kurama and Shukaku, he could only transform into his 6-tailed form. If he wanted to evolve further, he had to either catch new tailed beasts or get used to using natural energy.

Naruto's current goal was to capture the 3-tailed monster Sanbi, aka Isobu. So he was on his way to Kirigakure to capture Yagura Karatachi, who is now Isobu's jinchuuriki.

As Naruto knew, there was a civil war in Kirigakure right now. So he was thinking of using the civil war to fight Yagura and take Isobu.

Naruto had left Uzushiogakure and was on his way to Kirigakure. He sneaked around trying to locate the rebel camp after he approached Kirigakure.

After wandering around for a while, he saw two groups of ninjas fighting.

Naruto realized that one side was the Kirigakure Anbu and the other was the Rebels, after spying on them for a while. He also understood that the rebel side would lose if they continued like this.

"Should I help them? But they might think I'm a spy trying to infiltrate them. Anyway, I'll think about that then." Naruto thought.

Naruto came out of his hiding place and quickly started attacking the Anbu.

The rebels were taken aback because they had already accepted that they would die. But they saw a shinobi appear suddenly, running towards them.

At first, they mistook him for the enemy, but later they rejoiced when they saw him attack the Anbu. However, they remained awake against him.

In a short time, the Rebels won the war with Naruto's help.

"Thank you for helping, but why did you help us? Who are you?" He asked nervously, who seemed to be the leader of the group. Because they realized that Naruto was strong, and he felt that even though they outnumbered him, they couldn't win against him.

"You don't need to be nervous, I'm not your enemy. In fact, I was wandering around looking for the Rebels' camp. Luckily, I came across you while searching the camp." Naruto said calmly. He also stated that he would not do anything that would harm them by using body language.

"Why are you looking for our camp?" He asked.

"There is something I want to talk to the leader of the Rebels. This thread will be beneficial for both parties. Because both of our goals intersect at some point." Naruto said.

Seeing them looking at each other hesitantly, Naruto continued, "I don't need to go to your camp. I just want to talk to your leader. If he wants, we can have our conversation at a place designated by him."

After they listened to Naruto, they talked among themselves for a while and made a decision.

"Okay, one of us will go to inform the leader. We will wait along with you at that time." The leader of the group said.

Naruto nodded, then someone from the group left.

After someone left, Naruto and the others hid somewhere and began to watch for possible movement.

They waited for a while, then the person who went for information returned, went to his group and informed them.

After a while, the leader of the group approached Naruto and said, "Our leader has agreed to talk to you. Please follow us to the meeting place."

After they saw Naruto nod, they went ahead. Naruto followed behind them and was also trying to sense his surroundings for a possible attack.

After a while, they finally reached their destination.

When Naruto got to their destination, he saw a tall woman with green eyes and auburn hair standing in front of many shinobi.

Naruto noticed many more shinobi hiding around when he sensed the surroundings.

"Sigh* I just want to talk…" Naruto thought.
