Akatsuki

The Akatsuki was a mysterious organization. It was said that there were many Kage-rank powerhouses.

Toad Sage, Jiraiya, had always been wandering the Shinobi world. While he was collecting materials and writing books, he was also collecting all kinds of information.

In these few years, he noticed a mysterious organization called Akatsuki.

This organization was filled with Kage-rank powerhouses.

They were active in all the major commissions, and all the commissions they accepted could be completed with high efficiency.

No one knew what the purpose of these members was.

No one knew who could organize these strong people of Kage-rank together.

Jiraiya had tried to investigate deeply, but the Akatsuki was too mysterious, and in the end, it was left unsettled.

It was reported that Konoha's Kage-rank betrayed the village and joined the Akatsuki organization.

No one expected that this mysterious organization was going to start its plan.

Collect all the Biju, making all of the Shinobi worlds feel pain.

Only when they felt pain would they yearn for peace.

This was the idea of the leader of the Akatsuki, Uzumaki Nagato.

"We have been dormant for a long time, and we have collected enough funds."

"Now that both Konoha and Suna have been significantly weakened after the collapse of Konoha, it is the perfect opportunity to gather the Ichibi and Kyubi"

"Now! The plan to collect the tail beasts begins."

As soon as Pain finished speaking, the members of the Akatsuki began to express their opinions.

"Interesting, leave that Shukaku to me. Jashin Sama will let him understand fear." Hidan said arrogantly.

"Yes, Sunagakure indeed. Heh, I remember that Sasori was a rogue ninja from Suna."

Deidara looked provocatively at Sasori.

"Kyubi will be entrusted to Itachi and Kisame. Is there any problem?" Pain looked at Itachi and Kisame and spoke.

"By the way, Konoha belongs to Mr. Itachi..." Kisame looked at Itachi.

"Don't worry, I will be fine." Itachi said expressionlessly.

He only cared about Konoha and his younger brother, Uchiha Sasuke.

As for the mission.

As long as he failed.

This time, he might be able to see Sasuke.

He wondered how far his foolish brother had grown.

I'm looking forward to it.

Thinking of this, the corner of Itachi's mouth slightly curled up.

"As for Ichibi, it will be entrusted to Sasori and Deidara." Pain looked at Sasori and Deidara.

Sasori was Sunagakure's betrayal, so he was more familiar with Sunagakure and it was more convenient for him to carry out missions.

The combination of him and Deidara was already unstoppable by Sunagakure.

The only thing that made Pain a little worried was Itachi's group.

Although Itachi's strength is impressive, Konoha is home to many hidden talents. This mission may not go as smoothly as expected.

"Have any of you heard of Hollow?" Pain asked after distributing the commissions.

"Hollow? What is that? Jashin Sama can easily kill it," Hidan said disdainfully.

"Hollow? I seem to have heard of him. It is said that in the current plan of Konoha's collapse, he has the same ability as Jonin." Itachi said flatly.

Pain nodded. "That's right."

"This is a new species that is neither human nor summoned beast. They are not afraid of ordinary shuriken and are immune to pain. Their combat power is formidable, and even upper-level Jonin are no match for them. No one knows where they came from, so be vigilant and gather any information about the Hollows during your mission."

Pain scanned the expressions of the members.

Almost all of them were disdainful.

Obviously, in front of Kage-rank, Jonin's strength was not enough.

Nagato was a little helpless in his heart, but he also knew that the arrogance in Kage-rank's heart was hard to change.

After the members left, Nagato said to Konan, "Go investigate Hollow. I feel a little uneasy."

"I think Orochimaru should know something."

...

Konoha.

Sasuke found Naruto who was resting.

It had been almost a month since he last saw Naruto, and he missed him very much.

But after seeing Naruto, the proud him snorted.

"Humph, Naruto, I am very strong now. If there is a chance, we can have a spar."

He also saw that Naruto was tired after a long journey, so he did not directly ask for a spar.

They chatted for a while, and Sakura also arrived in time.

"Naruto, I miss you so much!" Sakura, with her brute force, charges forward like a wild boar, attempting to throw herself into Naruto's arms.

Naruto subconsciously dodged, and in the next moment, the big tree beside him was knocked down by Sakura.

This scene made Naruto secretly speechless.

If he did not dodge, several of his ribs might break.

After doing all this, Sakura did not realize his abnormal strength. Instead, he held up the big tree shyly and looked at Naruto shyly. She explained,

"Oh, why did this tree fall down~~I didn't use any strength at all~"

"Boom." The big tree fell to the ground again, stirring up dust.

Sakura awkwardly grabbed Naruto's arm. "Since you're here this time, you shouldn't be leaving for a short period."

Naruto smiled gently and shook off Sakura's hand without a trace.

For him, feelings were a burden.

He had no intention of falling in love.

The life of a human was too short.

With Shinigami's power, he was destined to not have a good end with a human.

Moreover.

Once love is found, the heart also gains its bonds.

This meant that there was a weakness.

There was a weakness.

Naruto could feel Sakura's love for him.

But in this regard, he would shake his head and say to himself, "This is not love, it is just a girl's longing for herself."

He was adored by so many people in Konoha, but no one really understood him.

What they admired was only the Uzumaki Naruto that he had shaped.

It wasn't the real Uzumaki Naruto.

...

A few days of peace passed.

In the past few days, Naruto had decreased the amount of training and enjoyed a rare relaxation.

At this stage, training was no longer of much help to him. Only when he was in the Pure Land would his Reiatsu rise rapidly.

Naruto's talent was very good. Even in the Shinobi world, Reiatsu could grow at all times.

Although the extent was so low that it was almost negligible.

After the amplification of the Pure Land, Naruto's current strength had already reached Kage-rank.

Naruto couldn't wait to fight with Kage-rank and feel how strong he was.

During these few days, the Twelve Guardians also arrived one by one.

Everyone was also improving.

The talent of the twelve guardians was not bad, and now they all had the strength close to Jonin.

A few people had already at Jonin.

In the past few days, Hinata also found Naruto.

Unlike the shy Hinata in his impression, when they met again, Hinata was wearing sexy casual clothes. With a smile on her face, she grabbed Naruto's hand.

Under Naruto's slightly dazed gaze, the corners of Hinata's mouth curled into a rather evil smile.

She placed her left hand on the wall and gave Naruto a wall slam. Her eyes were extremely invasive.

"Hey, Naruto, I won't pretend anymore. I like you. I want you to be my boyfriend."

After saying that, Hinata's little face leaned closer and pouted as she kissed him.
