Chapter 210 Dinner
at a barbecue restaurant.
"Naruto, were you really kidnapped by the Akatsuki organization?"
Choji asked inarticulately, chewing barbecue in his mouth.
As he asked the question, all the fellow students around him stopped their chopsticks and looked at Naruto who was also munching on the barbecue.
Although those present were all students from the Ninja School.
But most of them are from ninja families, some are blood descendants, and some are secret arts families, so they are all well-informed.
The fact that Naruto was kidnapped by the Akatsuki organization is still a secret to ordinary villagers, but many of them have heard about it, but they have not yet confirmed it.
So now when Choji asked, everyone looked at Naruto.
Naruto spared his head: "Why are you all looking at me? Okay, okay, that's what happened!"
Sakura asked curiously: "I heard that everyone in the Akatsuki organization is an S-class wanted criminal. , Why did they kidnap you?"
"How did I know!"
Naruto curled his lips.
Although he enjoyed everyone's attention, he was still a little embarrassed about being kidnapped, and he really didn't know what happened. He didn't understand what happened until he was rescued back to the village.
Ziyuan, who had not interrupted, now stretched out her hand: "I know, I know!"
Everyone looked at Ziyuan again.
"The Akatsuki organization kidnapped Naruto, but it was actually for the tailed beasts!" Shion, who was pretending to be sophisticated, crossed his arms and continued: "This is the secret of the Five Kage Conference, I only told you!" After listening to Shion's
words , many students at the table changed their expressions and looked at Naruto thoughtfully.
Various rumors about Naruto and the fox demon have been circulating in the village. Some say that Naruto is the son of the fox demon, and some say that there is a fox demon hidden in Naruto's body.
So even if they don't know what a tailed beast is, many students still think of this rumor.
Of course, there are also many people who are ignorant.
Xiao Li was one of them. He asked blankly: "Tailed beast? What is that thing? Does it have anything to do with Naruto?" "Of course it is a
tailed beast."
Shion was stunned for a moment, realizing that he didn't know the tail beast either. What exactly is the beast?
Seeing Ziyuan speechless, Tiantian smiled and said, "You don't know, right?"
"Of course I know! But it's all secret, I can't tell you!"
Ziyuan sat back angrily.
In fact, the issues that can be discussed by the Five Shadows Conference are no longer confidential. Ziyuan just wants to show off, and there is no problem of leaking secrets at all.
"Hmph!" Sasuke snorted softly at this time, and glanced around the audience coldly: "Tailed beasts are not something you need to understand at your level. There is no need to know too much!" Sakura and Ino were impressed by Sasuke's words
. One set, stars immediately appeared in the eyes.
Shikamaru asked: "Sasuke, I heard that you participated in the rescue this time, and it was you who rescued Naruto in the end?" "
Yes!"
Sasuke raised the corner of his mouth and nodded proudly, his eyes subconsciously He glanced at Shinji, Kimimaro and Neji.
no doubt.
This time, not only Naruto, who had just returned to the village, but also Sasuke attended the freshman gathering. Even people like Shinji, Kimimaro, Neji, Shiro, and Karin who also quietly returned to the village through various channels also participated one by one.
The reason for this was to cover up the fact that he had sneaked out of the village a few days ago.
In fact, when they sneaked out of the village, the forces behind them provided cover in time and arranged for substitutes to take over temporarily.
It was just that Naruto was kidnapped by the Akatsuki organization in the village, which led to a round of strict scrutiny within Konoha, so they had to participate in activities publicly to reduce Konoha's suspicion of themselves.
Otherwise, they, who had just sneaked back to the village, would not be willing to attend such a gathering.
And their caution is not unreasonable, because just next door, separated by a wall, there are two ANBU secretly monitoring them at the moment.
This shows that the village has included the students around Naruto into the scope of monitoring and investigation.
Because from the kidnapping of Naruto, it can be inferred that the kidnapper is very familiar with Naruto's life trajectory, so it is very likely that there is a secret informant of the Akatsuki organization around Naruto.
Sakura hurriedly asked: "Sasuke, please tell me how you rescued Naruto?" The
memories were aroused by Sakura's words, and the pride on Sasuke's face gradually disappeared, and he shook his head: "There is nothing to say!"
"Wow, as expected of Sasuke!"
Sakura said with admiration.
Sasuke ignored Sakura and looked at Shinji who was concentrating on eating meat: "Shinji, I have something to tell you later!" Shinji raised his head: "What did you say?"
Sasuke
said: "It's about the Sharingan. !"
Upon hearing the words 'Sharingan', Kimimaro's expression was obviously startled, as if he felt a dull pain in his chest again.
But in fact, with the powerful restorative power of the 'Corpse Vein' and Yakushi Kabuto's medical ninjutsu, his previous injuries had long since recovered.
The reason why he felt a dull pain in his chest was because this trip to the Kingdom of Thunder left such a deep impression on him.
He was impressed by the power of 'Shang Xian No. 1'.
And the powerlessness of such a powerful 'Shang Xian Yi' in the face of 'A' made him feel an unprecedented shock.
This also caused a new change in his evaluation of the Sharingan.
Also affected by the words 'Sharingan' was Neji.
During this trip to the Earth Country, he saw the nearly complete and huge 'Susanoh' of Karin, and he was stunned.
He couldn't imagine how the Hyuga clan's soft fists alone could fight against a strong man with this kind of pupil technique, so he was completely confused on the way back.
Xianglan didn't know what Neci was thinking. She huddled in the corner and ate in a low-key manner.
In the previous war in the Kingdom of Earth, she was temporarily forced back by a group of ghosts because of fear. But after Ningji successfully destroyed the 'anchor point', the ghosts immediately fled, and she returned to the cave where the 'anchor point' was located, and activated the 'Susanoh' to completely level the cave.
Afterwards, she changed into the Red Cloud uniform of the Akatsuki organization in a deserted place, found the Kusanagi Village team that would assist her, and returned to Konoha all the way.
Bai, who was also in the corner, had a smile on his face.
During his trip to the Kingdom of Water, he suffered more than a dozen injuries all over his body, and he didn't have Kimimaro's strong physical fitness. If it weren't for the treatment with fragrant phosphorus, he might have been exposed by now.
However, he has no complaints about it.
No matter what, the ninja world was saved. For this, no matter how much it cost, it was worth it in his eyes!
Shinji, who saw all this, remained calm and continued eating barbecue
