Naruto: Set a goal, conquer the universe.

Page 76

Hearing Hinata's soft, pleading voice, Naruto reluctantly nodded and agreed to her request.

"Is Hinata's eye uncomfortable?" Kakashi asked with concern after returning from registering the conversation.

"It's just that my eyes sometimes itch when I'm practicing Sage Mode, but it doesn't affect them," Hinata quickly explained.

She was afraid Kakashi wouldn't agree to her going with him; she just wanted to be with Naruto.

"Is that so?" Kakashi saw through her thoughts but didn't point it out. Since Hinata herself said she was fine, Kakashi naturally believed her.

Don't forget, Hinata also learned medical ninjutsu.

"We've registered, let's go," Kakashi said, glancing at the three of them.

Naruto and his two companions nodded, and the four of them vanished from their spot in an instant, leaving only a cloud of dust behind.

How fast can four ninjas skilled in taijutsu travel?

It only takes less than half a day to get from Konoha to Sunagakure.

And it doesn't require any rest.

This is the advantage of taijutsu ninjas: their physical strength is extremely formidable.

Unlike ninjas who specialize in genjutsu, they might be able to achieve speeds similar to taijutsu ninjas by using chakra bursts over short distances, but they would never be able to match the speed of taijutsu ninjas during long-distance sprints.

The four had not gone far from Konoha Village when they saw someone running towards Sunagakure Village.

Of course, their speed is far inferior to that of Naruto and his group of four.

"That's... from the Sand Village? I remember she was in Gaara's team!" Naruto said, looking at her back and the large fan she was carrying.

"I'll just ask her what information she has," Kakashi decided.

In the blink of an eye, the four of them caught up with Temari, who was hurrying ahead.

Temari, who was rushing back to Sunagakure, suddenly saw four figures appear around her in a blur, surrounding her.

Teramari was so frightened that she broke out in a cold sweat and instinctively grabbed the three-star fan behind her to defend against the enemy's attack.

"Calm down, we are not the enemy!" Kakashi said in a deep voice.

Temari then realized who it was.

But after seeing it clearly, I became even more afraid.

She recognized all three boys in front of her!

Sasuke Uchiha cornered Shukaku, but Naruto Uzumaki defeated Shukaku with a single blow!

And then there's Hinata Hyuga. When she looks at me and Kankuro with her Byakugan, it's as if she can see right through people's hearts!

I and Kankuro were captured by them.

Temari still harbored some fear towards them.

"Don't worry, you're not an enemy anymore, I won't lay a hand on you." Naruto saw the worry in Temari's eyes and waved his hand as he spoke.

Upon hearing Naruto's words, Temari was taken aback. That's right, they're no longer enemies!

Thinking of this, Temari felt much more at ease.

He let go of the Samsung fan.

"Is there something you need?" Temari asked, looking at Kakashi and the others.

They won't stop me unless there's something wrong.

Chapter 4 Calm Down, Naruto

"Gaara has been captured by Akatsuki. How much information do you know about him?" Kakashi asked directly, without beating around the bush.

"What? Gaara has been captured?" Temari's eyes widened, looking bewildered and panicked.

"You don't know?" Naruto asked curiously, looking at her.

"I don't know. I came to Konoha on a mission and I'm now preparing to return to Sunagakure. When was Gaara captured?" Temari quickly explained.

“He was captured last night. Since you don’t know the details, we need to go and rescue him. You can take your time and head back to Sunagakure.” Naruto waved his hand and said, turning to continue on his way.

"Wait, I'll go with you!" Temari called out to them.

"Bringing you along will only slow us down, making it even slower to save Gaara," Sasuke replied coldly.

Temari was speechless after being choked by Sasuke's words, feeling as if she had been stabbed in the heart.

"Don't worry, now that we've taken on this mission, we'll definitely bring Gaara back safely!" Naruto glanced at Temari, saw the worried look on her face, and couldn't help but say.

It seems Gaara has finally found someone who cares about him.

"Alright, let's go!" Kakashi said, and the four of them disappeared in front of Temari in an instant.

Temari couldn't even make out their departing figures.

A bitter expression involuntarily appeared on his face. Sasuke was right.

Bringing her along will only delay the time needed to save Gaara.

"Gaara, please stay safe," Temari thought to herself.

Since the Konoha invasion, Gaara seems to have slowly lowered his guard again.

The relationship between the siblings improved, and they gradually developed the affection that comes with family.

Temari didn't care about conserving her energy anymore and pushed her speed to the limit as she headed towards Sunagakure.

The sentry standing on the wall saw four dark figures approaching at an extremely fast speed in the distance.

The alarm was sounded immediately.

At this time, Sunagakure was in a sensitive period because the Kazekage had been forcibly taken away by the Akatsuki. Any slight disturbance would alarm their sensitive nerves.

The shrill alarm shattered the tranquility of Sunagakure in an instant.

The sentry's shouts echoed across the dusty walls: "Enemy attack! Quick, prepare for battle!"

Almost simultaneously, the village ninjas stirred up like a flock of startled birds.

Even a few blurry figures in the distance were subconsciously interpreted by them as a new threat.

On the wall, several Chunin didn't even have time to confirm the identity of the shadowy figure before forming hand seals and activating Wind Release ninjutsu. A violent sandstorm whirlwind rose up and rushed towards the approaching shadowy figure, as if it wanted to devour anything suspicious.

However, as soon as the sandstorms approached the dark figures, they were sliced ​​in two, having no effect on them whatsoever.

The four dark figures leaped and landed steadily on the wall of Sunagakure.

"Hey, is this how you treat reinforcements?" Naruto said, dissatisfied.

Kakashi pointed to his headband and said, "Don't be nervous, we are Konoha ninjas, here to rescue Gaara at the request of your village!"

The Sand Ninja around them looked at each other in confusion, but someone recognized Kakashi.

After all, he was a renowned figure in the ninja world.

"They are indeed allies of Konoha," a Jonin stepped forward and said loudly, gesturing for the surrounding ninjas to put down their weapons.

"Simasa, I really didn't expect you to arrive so quickly," he said, bowing to Kakashi.

"Ah, after all, it concerns the safety of the Kazekage, so Konoha takes it very seriously," Kakashi said, scratching the back of his head.

"Thank you so much!" He bowed again to express his gratitude.

"Stop talking nonsense, do you have any information about the Akatsuki members who kidnapped Gaara?!" Naruto was too lazy to waste time on their nonsense; Gaara might be finished in the time it took to say a few words here.

"Well, Lord Kankuro was originally chasing after the Akatsuki, but he was also knocked down by the Akatsuki and was also poisoned severely. He's currently in a Sunagakure hospital," he said quickly.

"Tsk, so you don't even know where those Akatsuki members are headed?" Sasuke said, raising an eyebrow.

"Yes, that's definitely true." The Sand Village Jonin lowered his head in shame.

"Did the Akatsuki leave any clues?" Kakashi asked in a deep voice.

"Well, when our ANBU arrived, they only found Lord Kankuro lying on the ground; they didn't find anything else," said a Sand Village Jonin.

Upon hearing this, Kakashi frowned slightly. They had arrived quickly to provide support, but it would be all for naught if they couldn't find anyone.

"Let's go find Kankuro first and see if we can get any information from him," Naruto said.

"Yes, I'll take you to the hospital right away. Please follow me." The Sand Village Jonin quickly led Kakashi and the others to the hospital.

As soon as I entered Kankuro's hospital room, I saw several people gathered around the bed with worried expressions.

One of the old men heard the door open, glanced at the entrance, paused for a moment, and then rushed over with a murderous look, launching an attack on Kakashi.

Naruto's eyes turned cold, and with a flash, he appeared in front of Chiyo. Before Chiyo could react, he punched her and sent her flying.

They came to support the Sand Village.

But being attacked as an enemy time and time again, do you really think they're easy to bully?

"Calm down, Naruto, Sasuke, Hinata!" Kakashi shouted quickly.

With Naruto's intervention, Sasuke and Hinata had already activated their eye techniques and were preparing to launch an attack.

Kakashi broke out in a cold sweat. They came to support the Sand Village, not to destroy it.

"Calm down, sister, look closely, he's not Konoha's White Fang!" Ebizo sensed something was off and quickly stopped Chiyo, who was about to rush forward.

Chiyo then took a serious look at Kakashi and realized that it was indeed not White Fang, so she stopped what she was doing.

Then, she said with a playful laugh, "Haha, I'm really getting old, I have presbyopia now."

Seeing Chiyo's old age and her still-acting-young-and-cute smile, Kakashi and Naruto were speechless, staring at her with deadpan eyes.

"Who are you?" Ebizo asked.

"Lord Ebizo, they are reinforcements from Konoha, here to help rescue Lord Kazekage." The Sand Village Jonin, who had finally come to his senses, quickly explained.

The fight between Naruto and Chiyo just now was too fast; he couldn't even see how Naruto managed to defeat Chiyo.

In the blink of an eye, Chiyo was sent flying backward.

"Reinforcements from Konoha?" Ebizo muttered to himself.

"They arrived so quickly?" Chiyo also looked surprised.

She originally thought that Konoha would only send some minor characters to make a cameo appearance and get by.

After all, alliances between major powers are like a piece of paper, easily torn up, just like their sudden invasion of Konoha.

What does the Kazekage's safety have to do with Konoha?

To be realistic, the weaker Sunagakure is, the more advantageous it is for Konoha, isn't it?

Chapter 5 Hinata's Medical Ninjutsu

But she didn't expect that Konoha would value them so much.

Even Kakashi, the face of Konoha's Jonin, was sent here, along with that blond brat who sent her flying with a single punch; their strength is simply terrifying.

If she wasn't mistaken, the two kids next to Kakashi who hadn't made a move had Byakugan and Sharingan respectively!

Both of Konoha's two major clans have come. The fact that Konoha could send such an elite force clearly shows that they value the Sand Village ninjas highly.

All of her previous statements were wrong.

Seeing Chiyo acting cute despite her age, Naruto decided not to argue with her.

"Konoha ninja, what's your name?" Chiyo asked Naruto.

"Naruto Uzumaki!" Naruto responded.

"You are the son of the Fourth Hokage?" a Sand Village Jonin exclaimed in surprise.

His words startled Ebizo and Chiyo, two old men who had long since retired from worldly affairs.

I never imagined that Naruto was actually the son of the Fourth Hokage!

Why does Konoha Village value Sunagakure Village so much, even sending ninjas of such high status?

The two looked at each other, completely baffled by Konoha's plans.

As for genuinely helping the Sand Village, don't be naive. How can there be such a thing as genuine friendship between great nations!

Naruto nodded slightly.
