It's better to be a rebel ninja than to be a Hokage

The Intelligence Department should be a terrifying place for ninjas who call themselves "intelligence lives."

They should hide in unknown corners, where they should use all possible tortures in the world to squeeze out all kinds of intelligence held by the enemy that has fallen into the hands of the Intelligence Department.

However, Konoha's Intelligence Department was counterintuitively built in a very impressive architectural style in a conspicuous place in the village.

From the open-air public rest area inside the Intelligence Department, you can even see the Kage-face Rock with carvings of successive Hokage.

For the Konohagakure, the place where the Hokage with determined eyes carved on them look out at at Kagegao Rock represents the bright future of Konohagakure.

But light always comes with shadows.

Completely different from the respected Medical Department, the Intelligence Department, which represents all that is bad in the world, is intimidating just by being mentioned.

Those who move forward cannot see the shadow behind them. Everyone tends to ignore the darkness, but no one can deny its existence.

"I……"

Sakura clenched her hands into fists and pressed them against her chest.

She has a clear understanding of her current situation.

The sunlight shone on Sakura who was sitting alone on a bench in Tsubo-san.

…herself, Haruno Sakura is undoubtedly a person who lives in the sunshine.

But what about Naruto and Sasuke?

The angle of the light caused the shadow that was supposed to be behind Sakura to be reflected in front of her.

Darkness has always existed, so when people realize the darkness they have forgotten, they have already fallen into the darkness and understand the despair of not being able to escape from it no matter how hard they struggle.

"What are you talking to yourself about?"

The girl's voice abruptly interrupted Sakura's increasingly delusional thoughts.

Sakura looked up at the girl who asked the question. The long light golden hair shining in the sunlight was very familiar to Sakura.

"Ino?"

Sakura couldn't hide her confusion on her face as she didn't expect to meet her best friend in the Intelligence Department.

"Why are you here?"

"I'm here for the same reason as you, of course."

Ino shook her hair and moved closer to Sakura.

Sakura subconsciously moved her position in the middle of the bench to make room for Ino to sit on the bench next to her.

As Sakura changed her sitting position, the angle of the sunlight changed, and the shadow that originally covered Sakura tilted, allowing Sakura to catch her breath in the bright spot.

"Same?"

"It's related to the female ninja from the Hidden Rain Village that Master Jiraiya brought back."

As Sakura asked the question, Ino, who was already sitting on the bench, also gave the answer.

Ino turned to look at Sakura, blinked, and continued, "It's not just me, Shikamaru and Choji—the entire Team 10 is here."

As the Intelligence Department is an important agency in the Konoha Ninja System, it is not surprising that the ninjas are on guard against it.

However, Team 10 does not belong to the Intelligence Department in Konoha's ninja system. This unusual ninja team transfer actually shows that the seemingly ordinary Konoha is in an extremely special situation.

As for the reason, Ino has already said it - the female ninja from the Hidden Rain Village who was brought back by Jiraiya - or to put it more clearly, the Intelligence Department will further choose to mobilize external ninja teams from the original ninja deployment to strengthen the Intelligence Department's defense force, all for Naruto.

And all of this comes from Jiraiya's judgment.

The female ninja from the Hidden Rain Village who was brought back to Konoha by Jiraiya was undoubtedly marked by the Flying Thunder God Technique by Naruto.

Ever since Konoha lost the sealed book that recorded the Flying Thunder God Jutsu, Jiraiya, one of the three ninjas of Konoha who taught the Fourth Hokage who also mastered the Flying Thunder God Jutsu, is now the ninja in Konoha who knows the Flying Thunder God Jutsu best.

Based on Jiraiya's judgment, Tsunade, the fifth generation Hokage, began to prepare for the transfer of the intelligence department of the Konoha ninjas.

If Naruto really dared to invade Konoha in this way, Konoha would keep him here forever.

The topic involved Naruto, and Ino and Sakura, the close friends who could talk about anything, were rarely in a strange situation where they had nothing to say.

"Sakura, do you think Naruto... will show up?"

After hesitating for a moment, Ino finally asked about Sakura.

Ino had already heard about Konoha's decision on how to deal with Naruto and Sasuke.

Jiraiya, who returned from the Hidden Rain Village, reassessed the threat posed by Naruto and Sasuke to Konoha.

Different from the previous ambiguous rumors.

This time, how to deal with Naruto and Sasuke was proposed by Jiraiya and finally agreed by the fifth Hokage Tsunade. It has been conveyed as an official order to all the ninjas of Konoha.

Kill the rebel ninja Uzumaki Naruto and Uchiha Sasuke without mercy.

Jiraiya and Tsunade, who originally gave Sakura the greatest support in bringing Naruto and Sasuke back to Konoha, one was Sakura's guide on the road of ninjutsu and the other was Sakura's master. These two highly respected people have now given up this insistence.

Pronounced the crimes of Naruto and Sasuke.

If... Naruto really chooses to invade Konoha, then there will be no possibility of recovery.

All of Sakura's persistence over the past three years will be wasted.

However, Sakura showed no sign of responding to Ino's question.

Perhaps Sakura and Ino already knew the answer in their hearts.

That cruel answer that is hard to express in person.

Or maybe, it is because reality makes the answer to the question lose its meaning of existence.

"I-No?"

Sakura was startled when Ino suddenly stood up from the bench without any warning.

However, Ino just frowned, her eyes flickering.

He whispered in disbelief: "Impossible, this chakra..."

Among the many ninja clans in Konoha, the secret techniques mastered by the Yamanaka clan give them extraordinary perception abilities.

The reason why Ino looked so abnormal at this moment was because she sensed chakra that shouldn't have appeared.

Naruto!

Sakura finally reacted belatedly. She stood up suddenly like Ino. Without even caring about Ino, Sakura immediately ran towards the Intelligence Department!

……

……

"Long time no see, Mr. Haiyi."

Facing the siege of Konoha ninjas who were several times more numerous than expected, Naruto ignored them and exchanged a casual greeting with the middle-aged man with long ponytail hair in front of him: "The last time we met was at the Ninja School."

Yamanaka Inichi just stared at Naruto who suddenly appeared in the Intelligence Department. The shadow of his old friend began to appear on the face of the sixteen-year-old boy.

Yamanaka Inoichi saw the phantoms of the Fourth Hokage Minato Namikaze and his wife Kushina Uzumaki in Naruto at the same time.

However, the child of the two who died to protect Konoha and became a hero has now become Konoha's enemy. While the pain they brought to Konoha three years ago has not yet been completely healed, they invaded Konoha again without hesitation three years later.

"That meeting with you still leaves a deep impression on me, Naruto."

Naruto in front of him did not have any fighting posture, so Yamanaka Inoichi followed Naruto's thoughts and started chatting with him.

But this is just the surface of dealing with Naruto.

As Jiraiya had judged, the moment Naruto used the Flying Thunder God Technique, Yamanaka Inichi used the mind-opening technique, one of the secret techniques of the Yamanaka clan, and began to coordinate in his mind the Konoha ninjas who were surrounding Naruto at the moment.

"I have almost forgotten it."

Naruto seemed not to notice anything unusual around him and started chatting with Yamanaka Inoue about trivial things in the past.

But the three-magatama Sharingan in Naruto's left eye was always staring at Yamanaka Inoichi's face:

"That's enough of the meaningless chatter. Have you completed the deployment of the battle plan during this period of time?"

Naruto's sudden question startled Yamanaka Hai.

Naruto had completely seen through his thoughts from the very beginning!

But it doesn’t matter!

Although Yamanaka Inoichi didn't know why Naruto could see through his thoughts, he still let it go.

But Naruto's arrogance allowed Yamanaka Inoichi's plan to be carried out without any obstacles!

"Shikamaru, now!"

Secret technique: the technique of confusing the mind and body!

Yamanaka Inichi used his own spirit to disturb Naruto's mind, thereby restraining Naruto's movements and blocking the possibility of Naruto using space-time ninjutsu to escape.

"Naruto, don't even think about using the Flying Thunder God Technique and Kakashi's eye in front of me!"

The Flying Thunder God Technique, which was created by the Second Hokage and then learned by the Fourth Hokage and used to save Konoha many times, and Kakashi's Sharingan, are techniques to protect Konoha and should never be used by Naruto against Konoha!

At the same time as Yamanaka Inoichi performed the Mind-Ran Body Technique, a black shadow that had been lurking not far from Naruto also rapidly extended from the ground and rushed towards Naruto.

However, Yamanaka Inoichi's sudden attack did not make Naruto panic.

Everything was going according to Naruto's plan.

Shikamaru's shadow was blocked by the sudden protrusion of the ground, forcing Shikamaru to "force" miscalculate the distance between the shadow and Naruto, and was unable to restrain Naruto within the optimal time.

The reason why the ground was bulging was because of the ochre-colored coffin summoned by Naruto.

Reincarnation of dirty soil!

The coffin separated Shikamaru's shadow and Naruto, and Naruto achieved his goal and successfully performed the Impure World Reincarnation.

Naruto, who was originally controlled by the Mind-Ran Shen Technique, instantly turned into a ray of white mist.

"Shadow clone!?"

Naruto's true form has never set foot in the Intelligence Department.

But now Naruto's shadow clone has disappeared from Yamanaka Inoichi's sight, but the coffin standing in front of the Konoha ninjas is real.

The coffin lid fell from the coffin, and the person who returned from the Pure Land to the real world was wearing the black robe of the "Akatsuki" organization embroidered with red auspicious clouds.

A huge amount of chakra gathered in the body of this "resurrected" young dead man, causing his body to expand to an extremely terrifying size.

"This guy is...Everyone get out of here!!!"

Yamanaka Inoichi, who had previously peeked into Konan's brain, recognized the member of the "Akatsuki" organization who was resurrected by Naruto - Deidara, a former rebel ninja from the Hidden Iwagakure Village who was good at creating explosive attacks!

他 说:

"Art is—"

explosion!

boom--! ! !
