Yuki Haku

"So that's how it is." It took Haku a long time to recover. She pestered Ryoha and did not want to let go. She only wanted to stay in Ryoha's arms forever.

"Yes, I have succeeded!" At this time, Bulma did not even have the heart to be jealous. She had no choice. She had already tried her best to hold herself, but she really could not bear it. In addition to what Ryoha had done in these two years, she really could not afford to be jealous.

What's more, this matter was created by her own hands. She had long been mentally prepared. If it was some other woman, she could afford to be jealous, but the woman this time was Haku, a pure girl like snow. She really could not afford to be jealous.

"We'll be there soon!" Originally, Naruto had to work together with Kakashi to repel Itachi's sudden attack. This was a clone of Itachi, made by Pain using Shapeshifting Technique with Yuura as the medium. The clone had 30% of Itachi's powers, including Bloodline Limit.

However, because Naruto's growth was too fast, his current strength could be said to have completely reached the elite Jonin level. In other words, it was a bit higher than Sasuke, who had barely reached the elite Jonin level, but his actual combat strength was definitely much higher than Sasuke.

As a result, he was able to remove Itachi's genjutsu. Not only that, but he also displayed his use of shadow clones to the peak of perfection.

Itachi's Sharingan was unable to see through which one was Naruto's real body. As a result, he was captured by four of Naruto's shadow clones. The young ninja finished the battle with his Odama Rasengan.

"I really didn't expect that Naruto's strength would actually reach such a level." Sakura was also strong. Although she didn't know Tsunade's monstrous strength fist, she had taken another path to increase her combat strength. However, she didn't expect that the previously weak Naruto would actually reach this level. No wonder even Sasuke was not his match back then. He was really powerful.

"This kid is really not simple." Chiyo, who originally thought that Naruto had no ability, was shocked by his strength.

Only Kakashi was relatively calm because he was the only one here who knew how Naruto spent these two years. Naruto spent at least 27 days a month training. He was not training alone since he used the shadow clone training method with a bunch of other Narutos.

He succeeded in cultivating with hard work and sweat. He was able to train for a long time without stopping. Not everyone had this kind of perseverance and toughness. But Naruto was able to bear it.

This was also the reason why his strength surpassed Sasuke's. He had put in countless times more effort and sweat than him. He relied on his own efforts to obtain power that was completely under his control. Compared to Sasuke, who sold his soul to the extent of not being able to control it, Naruto was indeed much better.

"If Sasuke could have half of Naruto's perseverance and toughness, he would not have become like this." To be honest, although he was the son of the Fourth Hokage, Naruto didn't look like he had so much talent before Jiraiya took over and used the best way to draw out Naruto's potential.

Kakashi was only able to see that Naruto's talent seemed to be ordinary. He could not do anything, but in fact, it was not that Naruto did not have talent. It was that his teacher did not have the ability to teach properly. Moreover, he did not have the heart to teach him or even carefully observe where to dig out his talent.

It's a pity that although Konoha's reinforcement came early, the Akatsuki were not to be trifled with. Konoha and Suna might have a powerful strategy, but the Akatsuki also had a counterplan. Since Itachi's clone and Kisame were not enough to stop Naruto's group, they just needed to send more to stop them. In any case, the members of Akatsuki did not care about human lives.

However, in order to not expose the secrets of the other members, this time after Itachi and Kisame's first defeat, they learned how to do better.

Because they knew that this time, they were not going to defeat the other party but to buy time, they used all their strength to constantly stall the people on both sides of Guy and Kakashi's team.

This time, they were able to stall Naruto and the others, albeit barely, using the Five-Seal Barrier and booby traps placed at the hideout's entrance.

Naruto and the others were able to solve the problem. However, they were still a step too late in the end. If they had come in earlier to break the seal, Gaara would still have a breath left, and he could still be saved. Unfortunately, Just as they broke through the rock and entered the hideout, Gaara also fell from the sky in front of them.

"Gaara!" Although Naruto did not have such a deep relationship with Gaara as in the original work, he was also a jinchuuriki. They were birds of the same feather. The relationship between them was not bad. In the past two years or so, Gaara had also asked Naruto to complete all kinds of missions.

A Jonin was also there with him just in case he encountered Akatsuki in his missions. During this period, Naruto had gone to the desert to complete missions many times. He often met Gaara there. Of course, they had some spars.

Therefore, the relationship between the two sides was quite good. Now that Naruto saw Gaara die in front of him, and the person who killed him would also aim for his life in the future, it would be strange if Naruto was in a good mood. He almost rushed over in anger.

On the other side, Temari, who was carrying out a major mission to guard the border of the country, suddenly felt very agitated. This kind of feeling was sudden and without any forewarning. She felt as if someone who was connected to her had completely left this world. When this thought and feeling appeared, Temari's face turned pale.

She immediately found a place where no one was around and took out a special-looking Kunai with a small horn on each side. Then, she destroyed it.
