Chapter 55

Naruto was investigating the chakras in Sasuke's body, which he held on his shoulder. A short time later, he involuntarily grinned when he found Indra's chakra, which was hiding deep inside.

Then, he began to extract the Indra chakra from Sasuke, slowly and secretly, and take it for himself.

After a while, he finally absorbed the entire chakra. He realized that inside his body, the Indra and Asura chakras were trying to merge. But he blocked them because he was not in a suitable environment at the moment.

Naruto set Sasuke down as it was time to rest. At that moment, Sakura suddenly appeared next to him and began to check Sasuke's situation.

Naruto looked at Sakura and gave a short sigh, then went and sat next to Karin.

"We haven't talked much since the day I came to the village. Tell me, what have you done in the village all these years?" Naruto asked.

Karin was very eager to talk to Naruto because she had very little time alone with him.

"I trained as Tsunade-sama's disciple after you left. I am very skilled in medical jutsu according to him. Frankly, I realized that I like to heal people. I hated it before, but then I liked to heal someone without using my special situation." Karin said.

"I saw you last time using Adamantine Chains. You looked pretty novice using them, I can train you on that if you want." Naruto said.

"Really? But how? Do you too have Adamantine Chains?" Karin asked eagerly.

Naruto made chains resultant on his back and moved it, then he said, "As you can see, I have it. I'd also like to point out that I'm pretty good at using it."

After the two of them talked for a while on different topics, there was silence for a while. Karin looked like she wanted to say something.

She then took a deep breath and said shyly, "Umm... I saw you last time with T- Temari. Are you with h- her?"

"You're asking if Temari is my girlfriend, yes I'm with her." Naruto said, frankly wondering how Karin saw them.

Karin blushed as she recalled her memories of that night, then said, "H- How many girlfriends do you have?"

"To say it clearly, I have three right now." Naruto said after considering if there was anyone else.

"Right now? How many more girlfriends are you going to make?" Karin asked.

"Hmm... I don't know exactly, but I feel like I won't be limited to that." Naruto said. Naruto had decided to let go of everything about the girls now. He didn't want to think about the harem anymore. If it would happen spontaneously it would.

After a while, it was finally morning and it was time for them to move on.

Naruto wasn't carrying Sasuke this time. Instead, Sakura immediately took Sasuke in princess-carrying style and carried him with a big grin on her face.

Naruto had no problem with that, after all, he had already taken everything from Sasuke. NowSasuke was useless now, he had no future potential.

Kakashi was carrying Sai's lifeless body on his back. His purpose was to tell the Hokage what had happened.

Some time passed, and eventually they returned to Konoha.

They then went directly to Tsunade to present the mission report.

When Tsunade entered, the first thing that caught her eye was Sasuke's condition.

"Sigh* At least he's still alive." Tsunade thought.

But then she saw Sai's lifeless body, which Kakashi was carrying behind him.

"What happened to him?" Tsunade asked Kakashi.

"He was killed by Naruto." Kakashi said.

"What!" Tsunade glared at Naruto angrily. It was clear from her eyes that she wanted an answer.

Naruto said as puts the documents from Sai's bag in front of Tsunade, "He was sent by Danzo to put a seal on me. Frankly, I said at the previous meeting that if such a situation were to occur, I would clearly react harshly. But as the head of the Uzumaki clan, I would like to discuss this in private later."

Tsunade thought after examining the documents, "Damn, I should have thought Danzo was planning something like this when he sent this boy."

Sai was absolutely someone sent by Danzo to place a control seal on Naruto.

"Okay, we'll talk about this later. Now report on the mission." Tsunade said after putting the documents in a secret seal.

Naruto and Kakashi looked at each other for a short while, then Naruto stepped forward and began to speak.

"When we got to the bridge, I went to talk to the agent. The identity of the agent was Kabuto Yakushi."

Tsunade interrupted and said, "Old Konoha ninja. The traitor who was among the attackers during the previous Chunin exam, right?"

"Yes, that person. Later it turned out that this meeting was a trap. In an instant, Orochimaru started to attack. After fighting for a while, Orochimaru managed to escape, but we caught his partner Kabuto." Naruto said.

After Naruto extended his hand forward, in a flash of red, Kabuto, who was sitting on the ground holding his knees, suddenly appeared.

Naruto had been cultivating the Hiraishin skill for a while. At his current level, he was able to teleport other people to his side thanks to the seal he placed on their bodies.

There was no sign of life on Kabuto's face or eyes.

"As you can see, he is in a broken state and still answers any question. After questioning him, we learned where Sasuke was hiding. When we got there, Sasuke started attacking us. So I cut off his leg and arm forever to stop him and make sure he didn't run away again. Oh! I also destroyed his eyes, so he will live blind from now on." Naruto said.

Sakura and Kakashi's faces twitched as they heard these.

Tsunade had a troubled expression on her face, but she thought at least he was still alive. That way he could still be useful for the village.

Tsunade then looked at the others and asked, "Do you have anything else to add?"

Kakashi stepped forward and said, "I noticed that Naruto was using the Mangekyou Sharingan during the fight. I would like to inform you about this."

Tsunade looked at Naruto in surprise for a moment, then said, "Okay, I'll talk to him about this privately. I order not to spread this subject in any way. I don't want to cause any more trouble for me."

After nodding their heads in agreement, they started to come out.

Tsunade said to Naruto before he went out, "Come to talk to me tomorrow."

Naruto glanced at Tsunade for a moment, then he nodded and walked out from behind his team.
