Discussion: How the Nine-Tails led Naruto astray

The two of them were very close.

When asked this question, Naruto was silent for a while, and then he answered hesitantly after a while: "I don't know why, but I think that guy is very similar to me. We are both Jinchūriki, so I want to talk to him."

"Is that so?" Jiraiya nodded, "No problem, I can arrange it for you, but you need to be accompanied by the Anbu when you meet him."

The main concern is Naruto, after all, Naruto's body is seriously injured now. Of course, it's just a scene. After all, Gaara's chakra is completely sealed, and there is a sealing team guarding it 24 hours a day, so there is no problem.

"Okay." Naruto also nodded in agreement.

In short, if you have to say it, Konoha's losses in this war were not that great. Civilians were relocated long before the war began, and the Anbu had been guarding Konoha all the time. It seemed that Konoha was destroyed a lot, but in fact, with Jiraiya on the front line, there were not many ninjas lost.

The biggest loss should be the death of the third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen, but compared to those who don't know, Jiraiya should be considered to know Sarutobi Hiruzen better.

He probably knew what the old man was thinking, so he didn't feel sad, but was a little fortunate that his teacher, the third Hokage, died on the battlefield instead of dying of old age in the position of Hokage.

The only problem is probably the rumors in the ninja world. Konoha, as the first major country, was invaded by a joint force and lost a Hokage. If it weren't for Jiraiya's pressure, the other three major countries would not be as quiet as they are now.

So, old man, you left this mess to me, and you are really derelict in your duty as a teacher.

…

The place where the Sand Ninjas were imprisoned was in the Anbu, which was jointly guarded by the Sealing Squad, the Interrogation Department and the Anbu. The captains were Moriya Ibiki of the Interrogation Department and Tenzo of the Anbu. They had the right to mobilize all the people in the two departments. If they encountered a counterattack or riot, they were allowed to kill the enemy directly without taking any responsibility.

After understanding Naruto's thoughts, Jiraiya also asked Kakashi to bring Naruto here. He went back to prepare the things he needed to go out. Sakura and Sasuke were temporarily called back by Kakashi. After all, not everyone can come to the Anbu.

The moment they walked into the Anbu gate, a figure suddenly appeared in front of the two. He was wearing a cat mask and a black robe, and it was impossible to tell whether he was a man or a woman.

The Anbu glanced at the two: "Warrant."

You can't enter the Anbu without a warrant. This is the rule.

Kakashi was not vague and threw Jiraiya's warrant directly. The Anbu caught it with his backhand, opened it and took a look, silently made a seal, and nodded to the two of them after confirming that there was no problem: "Passed."

After that, the figure disappeared on the spot.

Naruto asked curiously: "Are all Anbu like this?"

"Almost." Kakashi took Naruto inside, "The main tasks of the Anbu are basically above A-level, which are extremely dangerous, so they cannot be easily exposed, and the Konoha Ninja Regulations clearly state that all ninjas need to cooperate with the Anbu."

"If you encounter the Anbu, and the Anbu's mission is contrary to your mission, you must unconditionally support the Anbu's mission. If you don't cooperate, the Anbu can directly attack you, they will not be punished, and you will be charged with treason."

Just like law enforcers, their deployment represents the law. No matter what you are doing now, you need to cooperate with them unconditionally. Of course, if you are really in a hurry, you can also tell them that they are not unreasonable. If you make trouble, you will bear the consequences.

Naruto scratched his head: "I understand."

"We're here." Kakashi stopped.

Just as the two were talking, a little light appeared in the dark basement. It looked like the faint light of a candle, but it was not obvious. Naruto squinted his eyes for a long time before he saw the three black-robed people standing in front.

The three people didn't say anything after seeing the two. They just checked the items they carried as a routine and let them go. After crossing the three people, there was a dark dungeon, and Naruto saw several familiar faces.

Like the Sand Village ninja Maki who closed his eyes with a calm face and didn't know what he was thinking, the puppeteer Kankuro who looked sluggish with a doubtful look on his face, and Temari who leaned against the wall with a weak face and a wound that had not healed.

Of course, the innermost is also the most luxurious single room, and the entire wall is hung with the sealed Gaara.

But Gaara is not in a good state now. His chakra is sealed, which causes his breath

It was so faint that Naruto could hardly feel it. His face was still indifferent, but there was a kind of broken doubt about life.

70% indifference, 10% helplessness, 10% broken and 10% doubt about life.

It was like a pie chart, which was magical.

Probably because they heard the sound of footsteps in the calm, everyone except Gaara looked up at Kakashi and Naruto. Maki opened his eyes and his pupils shrank sharply when he saw Naruto, but he didn't say anything, just staring at Naruto's figure.

Kankuro swallowed his saliva, and his doubt about life became more obvious. As for Temari, a strange look appeared in her eyes, like relief and happiness, but more complicated.

Well... they are all pie chart bosses.

Kakashi stood outside Gaara's cell and looked at Naruto sideways. Naruto was not vague either. He opened the cell door and walked in, standing in front of Gaara and looking at him.

Gaara still didn't look up, he just stared at the ground, the whole person seemed to have completely lost his strength, and then he was punched in the face by Naruto, the force was not great, but Gaara, who had no means of defense, was knocked to the ground by a punch, covering his cheek that was hit, his face full of disbelief.

Not only Kakashi, but also the Anbu and the Sand Ninjas in other cells behind him were completely stunned, Maki's calm face was no longer, and he looked at Naruto as if in a daze.

The sand floated up faithfully, but because Gaara's chakra was sealed and the gourd was confiscated, the floating sand was more like dust blown by the wind, and it couldn't even protect Gaara.

Naruto retracted his fist and looked down at Gaara: "I said I would punch you, and you would be knocked down by a punch without that tortoise shell. So it seems that you are just an ordinary person."

Maki, Kankuro, and Temari were completely dumbfounded when they heard Naruto's words, and turned to look at Gaara lying on the ground.

"Don't come over here..." Gaara lay on the ground, like a puppy abandoned by its owner. He looked at Naruto with wide eyes, "Don't come over here!!!"

Gaara waved his hands frantically, as if he wanted to force Naruto back. The floating sand slowly floated along with his hands, like a special effect, which was quite beautiful.

Naruto suddenly stepped forward and grabbed Gaara's waving hands. Their eyes met, and the flying sand separated them in the middle. Even if it was so thin, he still tried his best to protect Gaara.

Kakashi stretched out his hand to stop the Anbu who wanted to come forward and shook his head gently.
