Naruto the Genius

Chapter 131 Goodbye Sasuke
Naruto was not out for too long, and when he returned to the base, there was no emergency. Hinata was quite happy to see Naruto back, but she was too embarrassed to show it. Naruto walked up to Hinata and said, "Hinata, the base didn't receive any information during my absence." At this time, several other ninjas were also present. Hinata hadn't answered yet, so Hinata Kenko said, "Sir, we didn't receive any help messages during your absence. It seems that the whole Konoha is very stable now."

However, just as he finished speaking, the communicator rang. Hinata Miko was a little embarrassed and immediately ran over to receive the message. After receiving the message, Hinata Miko ran over and said to Naruto a little embarrassedly: "Sir, I just received a message from Asuma, it seems that there is some trouble there." Naruto said helplessly: "It seems that there is no way to rest, sweetheart, let's go." Then he signaled to Hinata and took her to Asuma's base.

Using Flying Thunder God, Naruto and Hinata arrived quickly. There were no enemies here for the time being, but Naruto noticed that Asuma looked very nervous. Seeing Naruto appear, Asuma said, "Luckily you arrived in time. Let me show you this first." Then he handed over a scroll. Naruto took the scroll from Asuma, opened it and found that it was actually a letter of challenge, which specifically requested Konoha's people to duel in a village at the border of the Land of Rice. If Konoha's people did not go, he would send a large number of troops to attack the stronghold. The last signature on the letter of challenge was, Orochimaru!
Naruto put away the letter of challenge and said to Asuma, "Who sent this letter of challenge?" Asuma shook his head and said, "I don't know. This letter of challenge was tied to a shuriken and thrown over. We don't know who sent it yet. Naruto said, "Could it be that the people of the Hyuga family didn't find anything?" Asuma sighed and shook his head and said, "I don't know what means the other party used. Anyway, we didn't find any traces."

Naruto thought: "Those who can have such means are probably not ordinary forces. However, this style of behavior is not like Orochimaru. If Naruto insists, this style of behavior is very similar to Kabuto Yakushi. But the problem is, what is the purpose of Kabuto Yakushi doing this?" At this time, even Naruto had no idea about his purpose. Looking at Asuma who was worried, Naruto comforted him: "Asuma, don't worry too much, you just need to guard the stronghold. As for this matter, leave it to me."

Asuma said, "Do you need any other people? I think it's better to form a team of four." Naruto waved his hand and said, "No, leave the things here to me and Hinata. I'm more worried about the base." Asuma lowered his head slightly. Naruto's words were not without reason. Relatively speaking, the strength of the base might be weaker. He said to Naruto and the others, "Then, I'll leave this matter to you two. I will do my best for the base." Naruto nodded and took Hinata to the agreed place.

Because of Hinata, Naruto couldn't be too fast, but even so, it only took about two hours to reach the agreed location. Naruto couldn't help but sigh that the other party seemed to be very shrewd even in the choice of location. The distance was neither far nor close, so it would not take too long to arrive, and it could prevent the enemy from reinforcing in a short time. Naruto split into two clones and hid in the dark, and at the same time he entered the Sage Mode.

Hinata opened her Byakugan and checked the surrounding terrain to prevent any ambush or trap set by the enemy. Naruto said to her, "Hinata, don't look. This is a grassland, which is not conducive to an ambush. And the enemy will definitely not be so clever. An ambush in such a place is meaningless for a very powerful ninja." Hinata turned her head and looked at Naruto and said, "But I always have a bad feeling. It's too quiet around here. Moreover, our opponent has not appeared. I don't know what conspiracy he has."

Hinata's gentle voice expressed her inner worries. Didn't Naruto have the same thought? However, many things can only be judged after contacting the enemy. Now all he can do is wait. Suddenly, Naruto sensed the chakra of two people. The two were walking slowly, one in front and one behind, as if they were taking a leisurely stroll. This familiar feeling, one is Kabuto Yakushi, and the other is "Uchiha Sasuke!"

Hinata also opened her Byakugan and looked into the distance. She immediately exclaimed: "This person is actually Sasuke, but his chakra is relatively stronger." Naruto said to Hinata: "Hinata, no matter what happens later, you must do as I say. Also, everything that happens here must be kept secret from everyone, including the Hokage of Konoha." Hinata saw that Naruto was serious, and nodded seriously, indicating that she would do as Naruto said.

Taking out the Thunder God Sword, Naruto looked ahead cautiously. Kabuto Yakushi finally walked in front of Naruto, he stopped and said: "Black Thunder of Konoha, you are here as expected! However, your opponent today is not me, but..." A man walked out from behind Kabuto Yakushi, with black hair, a very loose white suit, a handsome face, and a calmness at all times. The most noticeable thing is the pair of three-magatama Sharingan. He pulled out a grass cone sword from his back and said lightly: "Kabuto, is he the powerful opponent you mentioned? I hope he won't let me down."

Yakushi Kabuto sneered and said, "We must return as soon as possible after we have dealt with the matter here. We are running away from Orochimaru-sama, so we must not be discovered." Then he disappeared. The young man did not even look at Kabuto, but snorted, obviously looking down on Yakushi Kabuto.

Naruto sensed that Kabuto Yakushi had left at a very fast speed, so he took off the mask on his head and said, "Sasuke, it's been a long time since we last met in the Valley of the End. I didn't expect that we would meet under such circumstances this time." Hinata was very surprised. According to the rules of the Anbu, masks cannot be taken off casually.

Sasuke was more surprised than Hinata. Seeing Naruto, he, who was always calm, showed some excitement. Although Sasuke tried his best to hide it, Naruto could sense his excitement at seeing his old friend. It was a very special feeling. Sasuke tilted his head slightly out of habit and said, "It's Naruto. No wonder you have such a strong chakra. How strong are you?"
