A Journey to the Heavens Beginning with Pirates

A farce just ended.

A few minutes after Su Yu left, the ninjas who had been stunned by the overlord's domineering energy also woke up leisurely.

They rubbed their still dizzy heads, and then came to the Hokage's office one after another.

When they saw Hiruzen Sarutobi standing numbly and Danzo lying on the ground, they were shocked.

"Hokage-sama, what happened? Is it a surprise attack force from another ninja village?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at the anxious-looking people and said nothing, just shook his head feebly.

Seeing this, everyone is a little confused, right?That is how the matter?They clearly felt that Danzo, lying on the ground, had lost his breath!

Could it be that Danzo made a surprise attack on Hokage-sama and was shot to death by Hokage-sama?

At this time, Kakashi and Metkai also woke up. They shook their heads to shake off the dizziness, and then stood up to check the situation.

However, they found that Danzo, who was lying on the ground, had lost his breath, and Su Yu was also missing.

The two fell silent for a moment.

On the other side, Su Yu was walking home, followed by Naruto and others.

Naruto had been holding back for a long time, and now he couldn't hold it in any longer. He asked:

"Su Yu, what happened? Why did that cold and strange uncle attack you?"

Although Su Yu was an outsider, he had always done his duty. Naruto really couldn't figure out why Konoha would take action against Su Yu.

Su Yu looked at the three little birds with curious eyes, spread his hands and said:

"Actually, it's nothing. The weird uncle you are talking about is a high-ranking person in the village. He saw that the three of you were still very weak a month ago, but after you stayed under me for a month, your strength changed qualitatively, so he fell in love with my teachings. He wants me to teach his subordinates for him."

"However, because of his character, this person didn't believe in anyone except himself, so he wanted to use other gods to forcibly control me, and he didn't expect that other gods would do nothing to me. This was the beginning of everything. "

After listening to Su Yu's explanation, Naruto held his head in his hands and said:

"Oh, then it's all that person's fault in the first place! Grandpa Hokage still favors him, it's true!"

Su Yu smiled and said nothing.

Naruto is still too young and does not understand the way managers think, but it is actually quite good not to understand this...

After a while, they walked all the way and came to Ilela.

Su Yu suddenly said: "Naruto, you said before that you want to treat me to ramen, or can you just eat it?"

Hearing this, before Naruto could speak, his stomach growled first.

He smiled sheepishly, and then said: "Of course, of course, I do what I say! Sasuke, Sakura, let's eat ramen together!"

After a while, several people left Ichiraku Ramen with satisfaction, while Naruto held the dying frog wallet in his hand and wanted to cry without tears.

A few days later, the buildings that had been destroyed by the invasion of Orochimaru and Sand Ninja had been repaired, and the Hokage's office that was half destroyed by Su Yu was also renovated as before.

And the envoys of Suna Ninja who came to negotiate, or rather gave in, also arrived at Konoha Village.

After some discussion, the Suna Ninja paid some price, extinguished Konoha's anger, and made Konoha agree to release the Suna Ninja's one jinchūriki, Gaara.

Naruto was also present when he said goodbye to Gaara and left.

In fact, because of the same identity and similar childhood experiences, Naruto would visit Gaara basically every day when Gaara was in prison, and sometimes he could even say a few words.

Naruto told Gaara his entire experience, and at the same time, he also learned about Gaara's past.

This made him feel a little uncomfortable, but at the same time he felt lucky to have Iruka in his life.

When they parted, Naruto and Gaara said their final goodbyes.

Gaara had regained his composure at this time, and there was no hint of the murderous madness on his face.

He stared at Naruto for a while and said:

"Can I really find the meaning of my existence?"

In addition to confusion, there was also a fragile feeling unique to a young man in his voice.

Naruto showed a sunny smile and said with great certainty:

"It's definitely possible! You have to believe in yourself! You also have to believe in the people around you!"

"and--"

Naruto said, stretched out his hand towards Gaara and gave a thumbs up, and then said:

"I also hope to be your friend! No matter what, you can find a sense of presence here!"

Looking at Naruto's blond hair that looked like sunshine and his equally bright face, Gaara was stunned for a moment, then showed a slight smile.

Seeing this smile, Temari and Kankuro standing next to Gaara were a little surprised.

It had been a long time since they had seen Gaara smile normally, and they couldn't help but look at Naruto with a hint of gratitude.

Afterwards, Gaara stopped his smile, then looked at Naruto seriously and said:

"Thank you, Naruto!"

Maybe you saved me.But Gaara kept the second half of the sentence in his heart.

After saying goodbye, Gaara and others followed the Suna Ninja envoys and embarked on the road back to Sunagakure Village.

After that, the final round of the Chunin Exam, which was disrupted by Orochimaru, started again.

However, there was no fanfare this time. After all, there were only two contestants left, Aburame Shino and Nara Shikamaru.

A battle only lasts for ten minutes. It doesn't make for a big scene. Just let the two of them compete internally.

In the end, the two fought to a draw, and at this point, the Chuunin Exams officially came to an end.

The five people who were successfully promoted to Jonin were Naruto, Sakura, Sasuke, Shino and Shikamaru.

They are all Konoha ninjas, and all members of Kakashi's Team [-] have been successfully promoted!

However, while Kakashi was happy for the children, he was also a little melancholy, because he knew that Naruto and the others' ability to pass the Chunin Exam actually had little to do with him...

Looking at the five youthful and energetic new generation of Konoha standing in front of him, Sarutobi Hiruzen's originally gloomy mood due to Danzo's death could not help but improve a lot.

Sarutobi Hiruzen's eyes especially stayed a little longer on Naruto and the other three.

Especially these people, whose strength is not much worse than him, especially Naruto.

He had heard from Jiraiya that Naruto was already proficient in using the Nine-Tails chakra, but because the battle ended hastily, he didn't know how far Naruto's control over the Nine-Tails had reached.

If the Kyuubi is included, Sarutobi Hiruzen is really not sure whether he can defeat Naruto.

He sighed in his heart. It seemed that he was really old. Maybe Konoha should be left in the hands of young people...

Although they were successfully promoted to chuunin, they were still temporarily led by their original jounin teachers.

Kakashi naturally formed a combination with Naruto and others. Their combination can be regarded as the strongest combination.

Although the three Narutos were weak in experience, in terms of strength alone, few of the Jounin of Konoha were sure they could defeat them.

The first mission of this combination is to find the wandering legendary ninja, Tsunade, one of the Sannin of Konoha!

For some reason, Tsunade left the Leaf Village and wandered around. To be precise, she gambled wherever she went.

The reason why Tsunade was suddenly wanted to be brought back was because Sarutobi Hiruzen suddenly wanted to retire.

He was tired, not only physically but also mentally.

In fact, the best successor in Sarutobi Hiruzen's mind was Jiraiya. When the fourth generation sacrificed, Sarutobi Hiruzen wanted Jiraiya to succeed him, but Jiraiya didn't agree.

Sarutobi Hiruzen also tentatively mentioned this matter to Jiraiya before, but was rejected without any suspense.

So, the one who can choose now is Tsunade-hime, who is also one of the three ninjas.

To be able to become a Sannin, one's strength is unparalleled, and he is also a rare medical ninja. More importantly, the opponent is the granddaughter of the first generation, so there is basically no problem.

Naturally, besides Jiraiya, he is the most suitable candidate.

But the problem is that Sarutobi Hiruzen has no way of knowing where the other party is at the moment.

Therefore, there is the mission of Team Kakashi this time.

Doing the math, this is the second time he has left Konoha Village for a large-scale mission, and it is also the first mission after being promoted to Chunin. Even Sasuke, who has the most reserved personality, is excited.

However, just as they were about to set off to perform their mission, Konoha Village once again welcomed an uninvited guest.

The two newcomers were wearing the same black auspicious cloud robes, and their forehead protectors were slashed with a sharp weapon.

These are members of the Akatsuki organization.

At this time, the two people were standing on a tree in the forest outside Konoha Village. Konoha Village not far from them was reflected in their eyes.

"Haha, I remember, you seem to have a younger brother staying in Konoha... Itachi!"

The person who spoke grinned, revealing a mouth of shark-like teeth.

This is Kirigakure's traitorous ninja, Gansaki Kisame!

And the person he was speaking to had a pair of Sharingan eyes in his half-open eyes!

Combined with Kisame's words, this person's identity is already clear - Uchiha Itachi!

As for why they suddenly came to Konoha, On the surface, Itachi came to find out information about Kyuubi.

But if you think about it carefully, you will realize that it is nonsense. Due to some restrictions, the Akatsuki organization must put the capture of the Nine-Tails last. At this time, the work of the Akatsuki organization to capture the tailed beasts has not really begun yet!

Kisame naturally knew it, but it didn't matter. The Akatsuki organization was very strange, because the members had no loyalty to the leader at all. The reason why they gathered together was because they thought the goals of the Akatsuki organization were interesting.

But speaking of it, it is ridiculous to make a group of rebellious ninjas become loyal.

But Kisame admired his partner Itachi very much. Since Itachi wanted to come, he would accompany him...
