Naruto: Start By Punching Trees And Shocking Kurama!

"Damn it, why isn't it ready yet?"

Standing at the entrance, Sasuke was pacing back and forth in front of Naruto, like an anxious father waiting outside a delivery room.

He was eager to make up for the mistake he had made unintentionally.

But he was helpless against those monsters that absorbed Chakra.

If it weren't for Uzumaki Stark's modification of the Heavy Xuan Ruler, granting it the ability to absorb Chakra and restore vitality...

He estimated that he would've died in the Land of Grass a long time ago.

There wouldn't have been any of those earlier scenes where he fought the white monsters to a standstill.

Sasuke couldn't even imagine the devastation those creatures would unleash if they escaped into the wider world.

"Can you just calm the hell down?!"

Naruto watched Sasuke's restless fidgeting and didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

Before coming here, he'd already gathered intel on the situation in the Land of Grass.

It is said that the entire Cult Mechanicus is heading there now, and the Land of Snow's Scientific Truth Society is also heading there.

Naruto believed that containing those monsters for a few more days shouldn't be a problem.

So, time was still on their side.

Besides, Naruto had even asked Kurama how hard it would be to wipe out those white monsters...

At that time, the big fox smiled contemptuously.

Then, he said something like 'erasing them with a flick of his tail'.

He sounded even more arrogant than Sasuke.

Although Kurama's statement may seem a bit exaggerated, at least he should be able to solve the problem if he comes out.

If worst comes to worst, Naruto still has the Golden Rinnegan in his laboratory. If he really can't handle the problem, he can just use the Rinnegan to seal the monsters away.

There are many ways to deal with those monsters, and there is no need to worry about them spreading.

The only thing that worries Naruto is the two cults...

Right now, the two factions were fighting like rabid dogs.

And as any seasoned warrior knew...

Technological leaps often came hand-in-hand with war.

Maybe it wasn't obvious yet, but in a decade or two, the entire world's aesthetic would be completely warped by their influence.

Naruto felt tired just thinking about this.

'If I had known earlier, I should not have bothered with those muscular men and let them stab each other in the village back then.'

'Sigh…'

'Who could possibly save this derailed Shinobi World now?'

After being scolded, Sasuke was stunned for a moment, then pointed at the conference room's door and started shouting, "What the hell's taking so long?!"

"If we keep dragging our feet, those monsters are going to break out!"

"Couldn't they at least send someone over first!?"

The Five Kage have been in there for four hours, and Sasuke really can't stand the efficiency of these village chiefs.

In his mind, they should just gather their forces, have Naruto open a portal, and charge in together.

There are no need to overcomplicate things!

"How about we go check out the situation first?"

Naruto thought that since they had nothing else to do, they might as well take a look at the situation in the Land of Grass and assess just how strong those monsters really were.

After all, they were even able to beat Uchiha Xiao Yan, who possessed Heavenly Flame, and made him flee in panic.

"Okay."

When Sasuke heard Naruto say this, he finally relaxed a little.

Although Naruto is always unreliable when it came to planning, the results always worked out in the end.

Anyway, as long as those monsters got dealt with, that was all that mattered.

Naruto casually tossed out a portal, and then he and Sasuke arrived at the Land of Grass one after the other...

Meanwhile, Tsunade in the conference room and Jiraiya, who had just left for a while, did not know that the two boys had sneaked out again.

"Impossible!"

"To put it bluntly, this matter was caused by your Konoha's Missing-nin, Orochimaru!"

"If you expect everyone to get involved..."

"Konoha can't just walk away without paying a price, can you?"

Onoki had a sour face and was very unhappy with Tsunade's behavior of taking advantage of everyone for free.

While those monsters are indeed dangerous, isn't it a bit too much to ask his Iwagakure to take the lead?

Moreover, everyone has to cover their own supplies, equipment, and medical costs.

Isn't this clearly taking advantage of everyone?

Tsunade closed her eyes slightly and leaned back in her chair. When she heard what Onoki said, she wasn't angry at all. Instead, she felt like laughing, 'Pay up??'

'Sorry, but Konoha had everything except money right now!'

But even if they did have funds, Tsunade wouldn't spend them.

At this time, Tsunade stood up and brushed off her clothes, then spread her hands and said in a very rogue manner, "You want money, right?"

"Go ask the Daimyo for it."

"I believe the Daimyo would be very willing to pay for it."

"Anyway, that's all I have to say. It's up to you to intervene or not..."

"At worst, we'll all die together."

The entire afternoon, no matter what she proposed, the Raikage and Onoki had always found something to nitpick.

'And that Kazekage brat...'

Tsunade had noticed that there was always murderous intent in this boy's eyes.

'He must be still angry about me dragging Naruto back from Sunagakure.'

As for the Mizukage, her attitude was the best among all of them. She helped whenever she was asked to, without any intention of shirking her responsibility.

After Tsunade said this, she turned around and was about to leave, which made Onoki and the Raikage very angry.

'Damn it!'

'We just want Konoha to pay a price...'

'This was just like haggling! Couldn't the Hokage at least leave some room for negotiation?!'

'How can you just leave without reaching an agreement?'

"Hokage!! Wait!"

"Calm down, calm down..."

Fortunately, Mei stepped in and stopped Tsunade first, otherwise, the alliance that had just been formed today would have fallen apart already.

Finally, under Tsunade's shameless negotiation, the Five Great Shinobi Villages agreed to form a Shinobi Alliance and march on the Land of Grass.

However, it will take another day to deploy the Shinobi in the village.

Gaara immediately assured them it wouldn't be a problem. He said that Sunagakure had long since discovered the problems in the Land of Grass and had sent people there early on.

With these people, they could hold the line until the reinforcements arrived.

Of course, whether they were there to 'judge heretics' and glorify the Cult Mechanicus or to actually eliminate the monsters was anyone's guess.

…

As Tsunade stepped outside to look for Naruto, she saw Jiraiya holding a bottle of sake and staring blankly in the corner outside the door...

This scene made Tsunade so angry that she almost went berserk again. She walked up to Jiraiya and grabbed his collar with one hand.

"TELL ME!!"

"WHERE ARE NARUTO AND SASUKE!?"

"DIDN'T I ASK YOU TO KEEP AN EYE ON THEM!?"

"WHERE DID THEY GO!!!"

"DON'T TELL ME THEY RAN OFF TO THE LAND OF GRASS?!!"

Jiraiya's face twisted into a pained grimace, as he could already feel the beating coming.

'I was only gone for a few minutes!!'

'How the hell had that damn brat vanished in the time it took to buy a bottle of sake?!'

After not seeing Naruto anywhere, Jiraiya felt like the sky was falling. He didn't even need to think to know that he had most likely run away to the Land of Grass...

"Tsuna... Tsunade..."

"Just... calm down first..."

"Naruto... and Sasuke... they'll be fine."

Jiraiya tried to break free from Tsunade's restraints, but her grip was inhumanly strong. No matter how hard he struggled...

Tsunade's hand that was grabbing his collar remained motionless like a pair of pliers.

Bang…

With a deafening crash, Jiraiya was directly embedded in the wall.

Tsunade had no intention of dealing with Jiraiya today, but what he said just now was really infuriating.

'I am worried about those two guys!?'

'I was just afraid that the situation in the Land of Grass would only get worse with that brat around!'
