Chapter 785 Meeting the Hokage
Hinata was still in a daze, but Sakura reacted first, picked up Hinata's account and rushed out of the cafe without even settling the bill. She rushed to the Naruto trio who were blatantly wandering the streets of Konoha and blocked their way. .
Among the trio, except for Sasuke's clothing style which has changed slightly and has changed into the standard thick rope waist-tie suit of Orochimaru's forces in the original plot, Naruto is still wearing an orange-red jacket and a scientific white coat. Kabuto Yakushi is also the same as before.
The heights of Naruto and Sasuke have changed a lot. They have both grown much taller. Their skin is slightly pale. This is due to years of training underground without exposure to sunlight.
"Hey, it's Sakura. Long time no see. She's become more beautiful!"
Naruto saw the appearance of the girl blocking the road clearly and quickly greeted her with a smile on her face, while Sasuke just nodded slightly.
"You...you bastard! Why did you take Sasuke away?"
Sakura originally had a mixture of joy and melancholy on her face, but when she saw Naruto's heartless smile, she couldn't hold back her anger and hit him with her fist.
However, the punch was in vain. Naruto raised his hand casually and received Sakura's strange punch.
"Now, it's hard for me to pretend to be beaten."
Naruto sighed a little, shook his head slowly, and said to Sakura in a self-deprecating tone: "I'm sorry, my body's instinctive reaction blocked it, otherwise you hit me again, this time I will try not to move..."
Sakura was stunned, and suddenly realized that Naruto had changed a lot. The previous Naruto looked like a young adult, and the whole person looked young and mature, but now the Naruto is really an "adult", no matter it is Both his tone and expression were so mature that there was almost a generation gap between him and Sakura.
After listening to Naruto's words, Sakura also calmed down, and then she realized that the strength gap between herself and Naruto was too big. It would be difficult for the other party to get beaten even if he wanted to, so she had no nerve to do anything again.
"Sasuke-kun...you...you are back, you won't leave in the future, right?"
Sakura abandoned Naruto, her cheeks turned red with embarrassment, and asked Ai Ai.
Sasuke smiled slightly at her, but shook his head and said, "Not sure yet... there is a lot to do."
Hinata was so nervous that her whole body tensed up, and she had the courage to come to Naruto. She wanted to say something, but she didn't know where to start. Her voice was as small as a mosquito, and she whispered: "Naruto-kun...this, Well, I..."
Naruto then noticed her and asked, "Uh, who are you?"
This question was like a bolt from the blue. Hinata's eyes turned red on the spot, and she stared at Naruto blankly, with tears flowing out uncontrollably.
After thinking about it carefully, Hinata remembered that except for one conversation with Naruto during the Chuunin exam more than two years ago, Hinata had no other interactions with him since then. It was all Hinata who was secretly stalking, peeping and having unrequited love. .
However, even so, it would be too heartbreaking for a girl to forget about her.
"ah!"
Naruto suddenly thought of something. He stared at Hinata carefully for a while and said, "I remembered that you are Neji's sister. He said some strange things in the chuunin examination room, saying that I have always had feelings for you. Chaos ends in abandonment or something!”
Hinata's face turned red all of a sudden, feeling secretly happy at the same time, but also so embarrassed that she wanted to crawl into the cracks in the ground.
"Well, I remember that you used to have short hair, but now you have long hair and you have become very feminine. I almost didn't recognize you."
Naruto scratched his head and smiled.
Hinata was completely stiff after being praised, she didn't dare to move, and her face was as red as an apple.
"Speaking of long hair..."
Naruto narrowed his eyes and suddenly came close to Hinata, staring at her hair and observing her carefully: "Your hair color doesn't seem to be pure black, it's dark blue-purple... a bit like the color of the night sky... is it the girl in your dreams? Woolen cloth?"
Ever since the White Snake Sage told Naruto about the dream prophecy, Naruto had unconsciously paid attention to the black-haired girl. After all, he was fifteen years old and had entered puberty, and he read a lot, but he was not like he was two years ago. Such ignorance about the time between men and women.
In a sense, Naruto's actions can be regarded as harassing the little girl. Hinata's hair was pulled up first, and then she heard the words "dream girl". Her brain shut down for a moment and her body swayed. , fell on his back and fainted.
Hinata suddenly fainted, and Naruto was also startled. He quickly leaned down to check, but found that the girl was just too nervous and excited and passed out. There was nothing serious, so he was relieved a little.
Sakura wanted to say a few more words to Sasuke and ask why he and Naruto returned to Konoha, but suddenly several ANBU ninjas wearing masks fell beside them, and those people surrounded Naruto and others. One feels like facing a formidable enemy.
"Uzumaki Naruto, Uchiha Sasuke, Yakushi Kabuto..." the leader of the ANBU captain said nervously: "How did you get in, and why didn't the warning barrier react at all?"
"Konoha's sealing technology comes from the Uzumaki clan, and it is too easy to crack." Naruto smiled: "You guys reacted very quickly. We were discovered by you not long after we were walking on the street."
The ANBU captain no longer dwelled on the issue of the barrier's failure, and asked nervously: "What is your purpose of sneaking into Konoha?"
"You have no right to know, take me to see the Hokage." Naruto raised his head and said solemnly: "We came to Konoha just to talk to the Hokage."
"Impossible!" The ANBU captain shook his head and said, "We will never let dangerous people like you get close to Hokage-sama. If you want to see Hokage, surrender obediently and be captured without mercy. We will naturally take you there..."
"You are not ANBU."
Naruto's face sank and he said coldly: "You are root ninjas, so I have nothing to say to you. Get out of my way!"
When the Konoha ninjas surrounding Naruto saw that Naruto noticed their identities, they all took out their kunai and drew their ninja swords. The two sides were at war with each other and were about to fight.
Naruto, Sasuke and Kabuto Yakushi looked at each other and smiled. The three of them just flashed. Standing aside, Sakura only felt a breeze passing by. It felt like something had happened, but it was like the illusion that nothing had happened.
At this moment, another group of ninjas arrived, jumped from the surrounding buildings, and surrounded the root ninjas surrounding Naruto. This group of ninjas also wore masks.
"Put down your weapons immediately and retreat! They are guests of Lord Hokage!"
One of the ninjas who arrived later stepped out and took off his mask, revealing a paralyzed face. This person was none other than the ANBU Captain Kazuzu.
Yamato had been in the ANBU for a long time, and his unique wooden style was very famous. Most of the ANBU ninjas knew him and knew that he was an elite jounin with extraordinary strength.
After Danzo failed to assassinate Hiruzen Sarutobi more than ten years ago, Yamato was rescued from the roots by Kakashi and joined the ANBU led by Hiruzen Sarutobi. After Kakashi left the ANBU, Yamato took over as captain.
"No need." Naruto sneered: "I don't know what the purpose of these root ninjas is. They should all be captured and let the ninjas of the Zhongshan clan investigate. I suspect it is Danzo's conspiracy again!"
Captain Yamato secretly sighed. Over the past year or so, the Anbu ninjas under Danzo's command had made many small moves and tried their best to oppose Jiraiya, but it was not to the point of breaking out. The Anbu and the Anbu could only maintain superficial harmony. After all, they were ninjas from the same village, but they couldn't fight in broad daylight.
What happened today, even if the root ninja is suspicious, they can only write it down and treat it as invisible, just like during the time of Sarutobi Hiruzen.
Captain Yamato smiled bitterly and said: "Naruto-kun, Anbu and Genbu are Konoha ninjas after all. It would be inappropriate to start a war in the village..."
"We have helped you subdue them, don't tell me that you don't even dare to catch the fainted root ninja." Naruto interrupted him and sneered.
As soon as the words fell, the root ninjas were like marionettes whose strings were cut. They lost consciousness as soon as their eyes rolled back and fell to the ground almost at the same time!
The ANBU ninjas all took a breath of cold air. They were lying in wait nearby, keeping watch. They could still remember the whole process just now, but they watched helplessly and didn't even see clearly how Naruto and the three of them were able to bring down everyone. Root Ninja.
Naruto looked coldly at the root ninjas who fell on the ground, shook his head slightly, said goodbye to Sakura, told her to take care of Hinata who fainted, and led Sasuke and Yakushi Kabuto to follow the ANBU ninjas to the Hokage. Home.
