Above Naruto

Back in Konoha, Naruto and his team came to the Hokage Building.

"Dong dong" Akai knocked on the door of the Hokage's office.

"Come in"

Inside, Tsunade's clear voice came out.

Akai opened the door and a group of people walked in one after another.

"Naruto, you are finally back!" As soon as they entered the door, Sakura and Ino trotted to Naruto's side and said happily.

Hinata on the side was also very happy, looking at Naruto with concern, and she finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Ever since they knew that Naruto went out alone to look for Sasuke, they had been worried and stayed at Tsunade's place, hoping to know the news about Naruto as soon as possible.After all, the opponent this time is Orochimaru, the dangerous man who single-handedly planned the collapse of Konoha and the killing of the Third Hokage.

Now that Naruto is back safely, everything is happy, and I can finally feel at ease.

"I'm sorry for making you worry." Naruto apologized sincerely, feeling warm inside and feeling good about being cared for.

"Naruto, how was the mission this time?" Tsunade sat upright and said loudly.

She glanced at everyone and already had the answer in her heart, but she still had to beat Naruto and not weaken the majesty of her own Hokage.Naruto was too presumptuous this time, completely ignoring her status as Hokage, not listening to advice, acting on his own, and making everyone worry about him. It was really outrageous.

"Sister Tsunade, this mission failed, and Sasuke was captured by Orochimaru." Naruto lowered his eyebrows and said in disappointment.

Snapped!

Tsunade slammed the table hard and raised her eyebrows, showing a calm but intimidating attitude.

"I told you not to act on your own a long time ago. It's okay now. Sasuke was still captured by Orochimaru and all the clues were lost. Naruto, you must reflect on yourself and don't be so reckless next time." Tsunade shouted. He scolded and glared at Naruto, as if he hated iron for not being able to turn into steel.

Naruto lowered his head obediently, blaming himself in his heart. The three Hinata girls looked at Naruto worriedly, not knowing what to say for a moment.

Akai and others also felt guilty and lowered their heads silently, looking like they were being taught.

"Tell me about the situation this time. Are you sure it was Orochimaru?" Tsunade sat down and calmed down.

Akai stood up and said: "It was indeed Orochimaru's fault. The four sound ninjas who induced Sasuke were the ninjas who appeared next to Orochimaru during the Chunin exam, and Orochimaru himself was also present."

"Has Orochimaru arrived too?" Tsunade glanced at Naruto and the others and ordered: "You guys can leave here. Naruto can go back and reflect on himself. Don't worry about Sasuke. I will send someone. Investigate this matter." After saying that, she glared at Naruto.

Xiaoqiang took the order and retreated.

On the streets of Konoha, Naruto and the three Hinata girls walked together.

"Naruto, don't be sad. After all, you have tried your best. There is nothing that can be done about Sasuke. After all, Orochimaru is also there." Sakura came to Naruto and comforted him.

"Yeah, Naruto, don't be depressed anymore, you have done your best regarding Sasuke." Ino also comforted.

"Naruto..." Hinata blushed and wanted to comfort her, but she couldn't speak and was anxious inside.

Naruto glanced at the three women and gradually smiled. Being with them would always make people feel relaxed and the gloom would disappear.

"I'm not depressed. I believe Sasuke will not die like this. We will definitely meet again." Naruto said firmly.

He had a feeling that Sasuke wouldn't end like this, and they could meet again in the future.

"Huh, that's good. We've been worried for nothing." Sakura and Ino rolled their eyes at Naruto, crossed their waists, and were very unhappy.

"Well, that Naruto, that's not good." Hinata blushed and scolded in a low voice.

"Then let me treat you to something to eat, red bean paste, red bean soup balls and pudding." Naruto looked at the three of them with a smile.

 "Let's go." The three said in unison.

Naruto Office

"Akai, please tell me in detail what happened this time." Tsunade frowned and said solemnly.

"Yes, Tsunade-sama." Akai responded respectfully, and then told Tsunade about the battle process with Naruto and Naruto's murderous aura.

"Unexpectedly, if Orochimaru's matter is not settled, a big problem will arise on Naruto's side." Tsunade leaned on the chair, feeling irritable.

"I believe that Naruto is a person who will not do anything harmful to Konoha." Akai said seriously.

He believed in Naruto and saw in Naruto a firm will and an upright heart like Xiao Li.

"Why don't I know? The problem now is no longer about the Kyuubi, but it still involves areas that none of us know about. Who can possess the kind of murderous intent that is visible to the naked eye like you said." Tsunade He said helplessly.

"I also possess murderous intent, but it is unheard of to be able to use murderous intent visible to the naked eye. If Naruto is controlled just once, what will happen to Konoha?" Tsunade said.

Akai was silent and speechless. Even if he opened the first five gates of the Eight Gates, he could not suppress Naruto. In Konoha, there are no more than five fingers who can fight Naruto.

If it was true as Tsunade said, it would indeed be a disaster for Konoha.

"Tsunade-sama..." Shizune said anxiously.

"I know what you want to say, Shizune. I won't do that. After all, he saved our lives." Tsunade turned her head to look at Shizune, smiled slightly, and nodded.

"Akai, don't announce this matter to the outside world yet. Let's take a look at Naruto's situation first," Tsunade said.

"Well, I will definitely keep it a secret, Tsunade-sama." Akai showed his white teeth.

"Tsunade-sama, when will Xiao Li's injury be treated?" Akai said carefully with his face close to his face.

"Oh, that brat, in two days, I will go to Konoha Hospital with Naruto to treat Xiao Li." Tsunade said.

"Thank you so much, Tsunade-sama, woo woo woo!" Akai cried excitedly, wiping his tears and saying gratefully.

The corner of Tsunade's mouth twitched and she immediately told Akai to go back. She really didn't want to see Akai like that.

Konoha dark part, root

"Is the news accurate?" Danzo said, looking at the two ANBU members half-kneeling in front of him.

"That's right, Lord Danzo, there is indeed something wrong with Uzumaki Naruto. He seems to have some unknown blood inheritance limit." The person on the left said.

"I really didn't expect that in just a few months, Uzumaki Naruto's strength would become so terrifying." Danzo sighed and sighed.

It was only a few months before the Chuunin Examination, and Naruto's strength was growing like a rocket, even he was caught off guard.

"Don't cause trouble for Uzumaki Naruto now. Let's lurk for a while. This news will definitely be useful by then." Danzo ordered, walking into the darkness.

The two took orders, turned into smoke, and disappeared.

When Naruto returned home, Kakashi was standing at the door of his house, holding a copy of "Intimate Paradise" and reading it with relish.

"Kakashi-sensei, I'm really sorry for not bringing Sasuke back." Naruto bowed slightly and apologized sincerely.

"It'll be great if you can come back safely. I will continue to investigate Sasuke's matter. Don't blame yourself too much." Kakashi said slowly.

It was Sasuke's choice to follow Orochimaru. Naruto had no fault. How could he blame Naruto?

"But..." Although Naruto thought Sasuke would not die like this, he was still worried. After all, they were companions together, and he cherished this friendship.

"When the time comes, I will go with Master Jiraiya to look for clues about Sasuke. Trust Sasuke," Kakashi said.

Naruto nodded, bid farewell to Kakashi, and returned home.
