Naruto: From Kushina Uzumaki onwards, a traitor

However, Hiruzen Sarutobi soon became worried.

Chiba, having awakened the Mangekyou Sharingan, was indeed able to control the Nine-Tails.

However, it is still very risky and not very safe.

After thinking for a long time, Hiruzen Sarutobi decided not to agree to change the Jinchuriki.

Chiba's value is indeed great, but not so great that it would lead him to decide to change the choice of Jinchuriki.

Hiruzen Sarutobi began drafting a transfer order, reassigning Chiba and Kakashi to the Land of Hot Springs.

...

Qianyu looked at the transfer order in her hand and a smile appeared on her lips.

Hiruzen Sarutobi only agreed to let him go to the Land of Hot Springs and encouraged him in his letter, without mentioning anything else.

This shows that Hiruzen Sarutobi did not agree to use Miyuki Uzumaki as the Nine-Tails' jinchūriki after learning that Hiruzen Sarutobi knew about it.

Moreover, he plans to handle this matter quietly, as if it never happened.

This was exactly as he had guessed.

This must have been the result of Hiruzen Sarutobi's careful consideration after learning that Hiruzen had acquired the Mangekyou Sharingan.

Now that the weighing of options has begun, things are starting to take a turn for the better.

Miyuki Uzumaki has been escorted back to Konoha by two Konoha ninjas.

"Lord Jiraiya, Kakashi and I will be taking our leave now."

Chiba and Kakashi left the Land of Grass without looking back.

Chiba and Kakashi eventually arrived at the battlefield in the Land of Hot Springs.

When they met Orochimaru again, Orochimaru hadn't changed at all.

Orochimaru glanced at Kakashi beside Chiyu and gave a smile: "It seems you're making very good progress, Chiyu."

Chiyu nodded: "Yes, it went fairly smoothly. We just found the Uzumaki clan members who were lost in the Land of Grass and have already sent them to Konoha."

Orochimaru asked, "So what's your plan next?"

Chiba activated her Mangekyou Sharingan and said to Orochimaru, "Orochimaru-sensei, what I want to do next is... make a name for myself in the ninja world!"

Orochimaru was stunned for a moment when he saw Chiba's Mangekyou Sharingan, then smiled and said, "I see, you've already awakened the Mangekyou Sharingan. Then Chiba, you are indeed qualified to make a name for yourself in the ninja world."

I won't assign you any tasks from now on. You're free to act as you see fit. If you want to make a name for yourself in the ninja world, then naturally you'll need your rivals to help you with that.

Chiba understood Orochimaru's meaning.

That is to make a name for myself by fighting against the Cloud Ninja.

Chiyu nodded and said, "I understand, Orochimaru-sensei. By the way, please take good care of Kakashi, Orochimaru-sensei. It won't be suitable for me to bring Kakashi with me in the upcoming battles."

Orochimaru looked at Kakashi: "Yes, I understand. I'll make the arrangements."

After Chiba and Kakashi left Orochimaru's room, Minato Namikaze, Obito Uchiha, Rin Nohara, and their other teammate Katsuhiko Takei stood not far away.

Upon seeing Kakashi, Obito Uchiha excitedly waved to him: "Kakashi!"

Rin Nohara looked at Kakashi with a flushed face.

Katsuhiko Takei bowed towards Qianyu and said, "Lord Qianyu."

Minato Namikaze's gaze remained fixed on Chiba.

Chiyu said to Kakashi beside her, "Kakashi, from now on you just follow Orochimaru-sensei's instructions. I'm off."

"Yes, please rest assured, Teacher Qianyu. Also, please be careful."

Qianyu smiled and said, "You're worried about your master now? I know, I'll be careful. Don't slack off in your cultivation, I might come back to check on your progress at any time."

After saying that, Qianyu disappeared using the Body Flicker Technique.

Obito Uchiha ran up to Kakashi: "Kakashi, what's wrong with you? Didn't you hear me calling you?"

Kakashi's expression was cold: "I have nothing to say to you."

Kakashi missed Obito Uchiha and planned to leave.

Chapter 116 Encirclement and Suppression

When Kakashi saw Obito Uchiha again, he was very indifferent and didn't want to say anything more to them.

Obito Uchiha grabbed Kakashi's arm, his voice low and menacing, "Kakashi, I've heard about your father..."

Kakashi said indifferently, "And then? What are you trying to say?"

Obito Uchiha looked intently at Kakashi and said, "Kakashi, I know you're feeling terrible right now, I understand how you feel..."

Kakashi interrupted Obito Uchiha, saying, "Let's stop here, Obito. You don't understand my feelings at all. If you're trying to comfort me, there's no need. Besides, we're not even close, and I don't have anything to say to you."

Kakashi broke free from Obito Uchiha's grasp and walked forward.

Rin Nohara looked at Kakashi with a sad expression.

She couldn't understand why Kakashi had become so cold and unapproachable.

Obito Uchiha shouted at Kakashi, "Kakashi, aren't we friends?"

Kakashi stopped in his tracks and replied coldly, "Friends? Don't flatter yourself, I don't have any friends!"

Just as Kakashi continued walking forward, Minato Namikaze stood in front of him: "Kakashi, what Sakumo-sama did was actually right. Comrades are very important. It's just that the people in the village are too repressed because of the war, which led to this tragedy."

Kakashi looked up at Minato Namikaze and asked, "You say my father did the right thing, but you also say the people in the village were too repressed, which led to the tragedy. So tell me, whose fault is it all?"

Minato Namikaze frowned, then said in a deep voice, "It's the war's fault. If it weren't for the war, this tragedy wouldn't have happened."

Kakashi scoffed, "Just like what Chiba-sensei said. You clearly don't know anything, yet you make some inexplicable explanations, as if no one is wrong."

You don't need to lecture me. In everyone's eyes, my father was wrong. As a ninja, you shouldn't have the concept of comrades; comrades are just someone who will drag you down!

After saying that, Kakashi ignored Minato Namikaze.

Minato Namikaze's words disgusted Kakashi.

Minato's voice came from behind Kakashi again: "So you also think that Lord Sakumo did something wrong?"

Kakashi answered without hesitation, "That's right, Father was wrong!"

Because... Konoha isn't worth it!

Minato Namikaze watched Kakashi's retreating figure with a heavy heart.

In a daze, Kakashi's back and Chiba's back overlapped.

Obito Uchiha and Rin Nohara lowered their heads, looking very disappointed.

They considered Kakashi a friend, but Kakashi distanced himself from them.

Minato Namikaze approached Obito Uchiha and Rin Nohara, comforting them, "Kakashi might just not have gotten over what happened with Lord Sakumo yet. As Kakashi's friends, you should help him get through this."

At that moment, Obito Uchiha, who was still a bit of a simpleton, immediately regained his fighting spirit: "I will definitely make Kakashi recover!"

Minato Namikaze laughed and said, "Alright, it's time for us to go carry out our mission."

...

After leaving the base, Chiba immediately began his plan to make a name for himself in the ninja world.

Every day, Chiba would activate his Observation Haki and search everywhere for Cloud Ninjas.

Any Cloud Ninja that Qianyu finds will be killed by him.

Two months passed in the blink of an eye.

The Cloud Ninja were seeing their men being lost every day. Although each loss was small, it added up to a considerable number.

This couldn't go on, so the commander of the Cloud Ninja immediately decided to gather troops and encircle and annihilate Qianyu.

A 20-person ninja squad, consisting of 8 Jonin and 12 Chunin, an elite force, has assembled and begins searching for Chiba.

At this moment, Chiba had just killed a Cloud Ninja squad consisting of one Chunin and three Genin.

Dealing with enemies of this caliber is a piece of cake for Chiba now; he doesn't need to take it seriously at all.

Just as Chiba sheathed his ninja sword, his Observation Haki suddenly detected 20 Cloud Ninjas rapidly advancing in his direction.

"Eight Jonin? Hah, are they here to ambush me? They've come at the right time. Killing these small fry isn't enough to make a name for myself in the ninja world. These 20 should be enough."

A fierce killing intent flashed in Qianyu's eyes.

Twenty Cloud Ninjas arrived at the location of the four Cloud Ninjas who had been killed by Chiyu.

Seeing that four more of their comrades had been killed, all the Cloud Ninja were enraged.

The leader of the cloud ninjas said coldly, "They were just killed not long ago. Let's hurry and give chase. We might be able to catch up!"

"You don't need to chase me anymore, I'm waiting for you. You've been so slow to arrive, I've been waiting for ages."

Chiyu jumped down from the tree trunk and faced the 20 Cloud Ninja head-on.

All the Cloud Ninjas glared at Qian Yu with bloodshot eyes: "Blood-Eyed Asura, Qian Yu!"

"Huh, what do you want? You don't think I'll just surrender obediently just because you call my name, do you? Alright, enough talk, let's fight!"

Chiyu drew her ninja sword, pointing the tip at the 20 Cloud Ninja opposite her.

The leader of the cloud ninjas shouted, "Use that move! Finish him off immediately, don't give him any chance to retaliate!"

Five Chunin and Cloud Ninja simultaneously formed hand seals.

"Lightning Release! Lightning Pull!"

After completing the hand seal, place both hands on the ground.

Five pillars stood around, with lightning surging between them. When they connected, they formed a vast lightning prison.

Chiyu and the 20 Cloud Ninja were all in this lightning prison.

When Qianyu was about to use Thunder Flash, she discovered that the lightning on her body was being drawn by an electric barrier.

"I see. So you've already developed a ninjutsu to counter my Lightning Breathing?"
