One Dragon Tail Kick will shatter your Susanoo dream!

On the other side, Karin and her group, led by Obito, easily crossed the Konoha Village barrier and arrived in the village's most prosperous commercial district in an instant. They then split up to gather intelligence.

Because of the previous invasion, Konoha Village strengthened its defenses, even setting up a barrier underground, so their team had to find the location of the Jinchuriki on their own.

At this moment, Obito is dressed as a middle-aged man wearing glasses, walking confidently through the wealthy district.

"As Minato's child and the hero who saved Konoha, Naruto must be living a life of being pampered and adored. Searching for him in the most expensive area of ​​Konoha is definitely the right choice!"

Karin, meanwhile, was enjoying food with Kimimaro and Hozuki Suigetsu in a bustling street when she suddenly stopped eating hot noodles.

A somewhat thin, blond-haired boy, carrying several buckets of instant noodles, looked at the three of them with longing on his face, and it seemed that saliva was dripping from the corner of his mouth.

Hozuki Suigetsu was about to complain, but seeing that the other person's clothes were obviously old, he shut his mouth.

Karin suddenly stood up and then said in a low voice.

"Suiyue, you idiot, brother, we'd better leave. Konoha's Anbu are hiding nearby. This kid's identity is not simple!"

Hozuki Suigetsu smirked, completely unconcerned.

"Just a little brat, does he deserve the protection of the Anbu?"

"It couldn't possibly be Naruto from the intelligence report!"

Kimimaro remained silent, only looking at Karin, awaiting her decision.

Karin lowered her head, quickly searching for a solution in her mind.

"With Obito-sensei gone, Suigetsu is useless, and while my brother is strong enough, he can only handle one Jonin at best..."

Karin's eyes darted around, then a sly smile appeared on her lips. She ordered another bowl of ramen from the owner and spoke towards the child.

"Hey little blondie, call me 'big sister,' and I'll treat you to ramen!"

"Really?!"

The child, who looked no more than four or five years old, wiped the drool from the corner of his mouth and bowed slightly to the three of them.

"Thank you, sister, but I have my own money, so there's no need to treat me!"

The child tried to find money or proof of possession on his person, and the instant noodles he was holding immediately fell to the ground.

"That's what Hozuki Suigetsu is saying."

"Troublesome little devil!"

Her body, however, honestly helped pick up the instant noodles, while Kimimaro secretly kept watch behind Karin, scanning the surroundings for any potential enemies.

Suddenly, the customers eating at the ramen shop recognized the child and showed expressions of disgust. They started talking loudly without any restraint, and some even took out chopsticks, toothpicks and other small objects to throw at him.

"That's the monster!"

"What if I wander around the village and suddenly go on a rampage again!"

"Lord Danzo, didn't you say last time that it should be under control...?"

Amidst the commotion, Naruto silently picked up his instant noodle cup, glanced at the cold-faced shopkeeper, lowered his head, and prepared to leave in the direction of home.

Just then, a pair of delicate white hands grabbed him.

"Why leave? We'll eat here!"

"Boss, a large bowl of tonkotsu ramen, please!"

"Thank you sister!"

Trees, bushes, and even disguised passersby all looked at the white-haired boy with questioning eyes, but he simply shook his head calmly.

"Captain... are we just going to watch like this?"

"Um……"

"Ignore them, they're just kids!"

Kakashi, hidden behind the mask, slowly withdrew the shock from his eyes. When he saw the yellow flower shadow on Karin's chest, he already knew her identity. However, he was also half a Kusagakure member, so he didn't intend to expose her. In fact, he was willing to cooperate to some extent!

Karin affectionately rubbed the child's face. Soon after, the shop owner, dissatisfied, brought a bowl of ramen to the table. Everyone began their meal. Half an hour later, they were burping and rubbing their bellies, leaning back halfway.

Karin patted the child's back repeatedly, her tone sincere.

"Although I don't know what you or your family did to deserve this treatment in the village, I'm here to protect you from now on. If all else fails, I'll just take you somewhere else to stay!"

"Thank you, sister. My name is Naruto Uzumaki. It's nice to meet you!"

After hearing this, the same thought flashed through the minds of the three of them.

"Mission objective!"

Suddenly, Hozuki Suigetsu, who had stepped out of the store to investigate the situation, turned around in terror and grabbed the door, his legs trembling uncontrollably.

"Stop talking, you stupid woman! There are a lot of people outside!"

Kimimaro didn't speak, but two bone spikes appeared in his palm, blocking Karin's path.

Not far from the three, an old man who looked somewhat gloomy slowly walked forward.

"Kids, can you leave Naruto to me?"

"no way!"

"dream!"

"Um……"

The man paused in his advance, then raised his right hand, and several Root ninjas stepped forward.

"Take the Jinchuriki and those three brats back to base!"

The Anbu members who were about to step forward to stop them immediately stopped. One of them went to the Hokage's residence, while the other two teams silently stood in front of the Root ninjas.

Danzo Shimura, leaning on his cane, calmly stepped forward and met the gaze of the newcomer.

"I'll take over here. Root will handle things. Everyone else, leave!"

The other members of the ANBU exchanged glances and retreated in silence, leaving only one figure standing in front of Shimura Danzo.

"Lord Danzo, I'm sorry!"

"This is fire..."

With a "whoosh," a wind blade grazed Kakashi's cheek, instantly tearing a corner of his face. Shimura Danzo's face darkened.

"Get out of the way, this is the last time!"

A flash of hatred crossed Kakashi's eyes beneath his mask; he hadn't forgotten why his father had "disappeared"!

However, he was only a squad leader in the Anbu and was not yet qualified to challenge Shimura Danzo, so he had no choice but to step aside and make way for the Root ninja.

The three little ones from Kusagakure were completely focused and had a clear division of labor. Karin was positioned at the rear, with the awakened chains behind her ready to strike.

Kimimaro stood before Karin, holding slender bone swords in both hands, with thick bone shields growing from his shoulders and other vital points on his body, ready for battle.

Due to his age, Hozuki Suigetsu was about the same age as Naruto, so he had to take out a weapon similar to a guillotine and stand on the other side of the group, with tears constantly dripping from his face due to fear.

"Hey, hey, hey, you stupid woman, you don't want to fight in the enemy's headquarters like this, do you? I'm still a child..."

"my brother……"

Kimimaro, displeased, swung his bone sword, cleaving a crater beneath Hozuki Suigetsu's feet, and said coldly.

"Shut up, protect Karin!"

"Bang! You bone fragment! You only know how to bully me. When I get back, I'm going to tell my brother!"

Despite his outward displeasure, Hozuki Suigetsu remained vigilant, protecting Karin. As for Naruto…

He's trying to squeeze himself and a bunch of instant noodles under the counter where he eats!
