Chapter 16: Kumogakure's Hidden Intentions
After returning home, Naruto couldn't wait to open the gift.
Inside was a pair of warm gloves, which were similar to the style he had obtained through the system before. In addition, there was also a note full of blessings.
It's a pity that it's spring now, and gloves are no longer needed to keep out the cold, so they won't work for the time being.
However, this is the first time he had received a gift from his peers.
At this moment, Nine Tails' voice sounded inappropriately, "Little kid, what are you smirking at? Could it be that you like that little girl with white eyes?"
Naruto put the gloves in his pocket, and replied unceremoniously, "Big fox, have you ever been in love? Has the opposite sex ever given you a gift? Don't be sour here."
Nine Tails was stunned for a moment, then assumed the attitude of someone who didn't care.
"I'm a tailed beast, there is no gender distinction, and there is no place to talk about love, but I have lived for thousands of years, and I have never seen any kind of love or hatred. I have much more experience than you."
"If you beg me, I will reluctantly become your mentor and give you advice."
Naruto directly showed a look of distrust, and the unconvinced Nine Tails directly said a few love tricks, such as hugging a beautiful woman under the moon, and so on.
Hearing this, Naruto was stunned for a while, and looked at Nine Tails with a slightly surprised expression.
However, as far as he knows, love mentors are often magicians, and someone like Nine Tails should be a great magister, and the experience they impart is not reliable at all.
Nine Tails felt the malice from Naruto, and his speech became slow.
It is not good to be able to perceive malice.
Although Naruto listened to himself seriously on the surface, he seemed to despise himself in his heart, and he exuded a faint malice.
But how could Nine Tails give up so easily at the moment of pretending to be great, so he could only continue talking.
Half an hour passed, Naruto obviously showed his impatience, and Nine Tails ended his endless talk of experience, and continued to lie in the sealed space, waiting for Naruto to go away for the night.
After dinner, Naruto didn't take a bath or read a book, but stood by the window, looking at Konoha under the darkness of night, where the Hyuga Clan is located.
"It's normal for young people to receive gifts, don't think too much, don't get too excited, go to bed early."
Nine-Tails' voice sounded again, and Naruto shook his head.
"It's not because of this, I feel that something will happen to the village tonight, so I deliberately took a favorable position and am prepared to watch the excitement."
"Look at the excitement?" Nine Tails didn't take it seriously.
Could it be that there will be a masked man again tonight?
Naruto explained, "The Kumogakure group recently came to the village. I feel that they have another purpose besides signing a peace treaty as Shikamaru said. In short, tonight will not be peaceful."
"Kumo Ninja? They are indeed a group of lunatics. There were two leaders who tried to capture me before, but they failed in the face of my enormous strength."
When mentioning Kumo Ninja, Nine Tails showed a dismissive attitude.
Naruto had a smirk on his face, and deliberately exposed the short story, "If you're so strong, how were you sealed by Konoha?"
Nine Tails is no longer the Nine Tails of the past, and said coldly, "I was sealed by the first Hokage. Back then, the first Hokage was invincible all over the world, suppressing the ninja world casually, and Kumogakure dared not be so arrogant. "
"Now you, Konoha, are afraid to even deal with a little Kumogakure."
Naruto was about to fight back when he noticed a few jumping figures on the distant city wall, and said to Nine Tails, "Don't argue, big fox, the excitement I told you is coming soon."
Nine Tails also tried to sense something, and immediately said in doubt, "So many ninjas have been dispatched, it seems that there will be excitement to watch tonight, but you have already guessed that Kumogakure will do something tonight, why didn't you tell your grandpa Hokage."
"Will the Third Hokage believe my words? I can't change anything if I say it, and it will attract his suspicion. It's better to watch the fun honestly, so as not to cause trouble."
After speaking, Naruto took out the potato chips he got from Choji and ate them.
'Naruto said not to remind anyone, but he still reminded Hinata, this kid has always been a hypocrite. I wonder who he inherited this character from.'
'Is it Kushina, or that annoying Namikaze Minato?'
...
When Naruto and Nine Tails watched the excitement in peace, the Anbu, who was in charge of protecting Naruto, couldn't sit still.
After discovering the movement of the Hyuga Clan, they hesitated whether to go to support.
But the task they are performing is to protect Naruto who is the Nine Tails Jinchuriki.
After a short thought, Moonlight Hayate made a judgment, and said to Uzuki Yugao, "Yugao, continue with the task, I and other colleagues will deal with the other matter."
After finishing speaking, Moonlight Hayate coughed a few times, and the face under the animal mask coughed blood.
Uzuki Yugai nodded, looked at the moonlight Hayate with a worried face, and said, "Hayate, your lung disease has become much more serious, why don't we leave Anbu together."
Moonlight Hayate shook his head, "If we stay for another two or three years, we will be able to become Jōnin. Only by becoming Jōnin can the Moonlight family flourish."
Uzuki Yugao sighed, and was about to say something when she spotted a few sneaky figures not far away.
Moonlight Hayate also found those figures, frowned and said, "Aren't those members of the Kumogakure envoys? Why did they appear near the Jinchuriki? Do they want to attack him?"
Uzuki Yugao guessed, "It's hard to say, but we have to keep an eye on them so that nothing goes wrong."
Moonlight Hayate coughed, and said, "You continue to monitor, and I will find a way to notify Captain Kakashi. At this time, we need Captain Kakashi."
When Uzuki Yugao and Moonlight Hayate were monitoring Kumo Nin, Kumo Nin was also monitoring them.
One of them said to the team leader, "Captain, are we really going to attack Jinchuriki? I didn't expect the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki to be regarded as a demon fox by Konoha villagers, and he is still mistreated everywhere."
The captain took a deep look at the young subordinates, he really wanted to say, in fact, it was the same in Kumogakure.
Killer Bee was treated as a bull ghost, and he would be discriminated against no matter where he was.
.
But right now, there is still important business. He quickly explained, "Attacking Jinchuriki means starting a war. The village has no intention of continuing the war. Our task is to contain some Konoha Anbu and buy time for the boss."
"It's a pity. If Jinchuriki can be taken away, the village will become stronger."
Several Kumo ninjas still felt a little pity when they heard the captain's words.
If Nine-Tails Jinchuriki is taken away, it will be a good thing for both the Jinchuriki himself and Kumogakure.
Although Kumogakure also discriminates against and fears the Jinchuriki, they believe that whoever has the strongest fist is right.
Nine-tails Jinchuriki would definitely get enough attention and resources in Kumogakure.
