After transforming, I became the wife of all Naruto fans.

Chapter 156 Questioning

"What?! The Kazekage has been captured by Akatsuki? Gaara chased him into the desert and disappeared without a trace?!"

In the Hokage's office, Tsunade frowned as she listened to the Anbu's report.

"Yes, and according to the description in the Sand Village's letter, Gaara initially left them a message, but it was quickly deleted. Akatsuki seems to be very familiar with the Sand Village's communication methods."

The Anbu continued, "Therefore, Elder Chiyo of the Sand Village has requested that we send another search team to help search for the Akatsuki members. Of course, their search will not be interrupted!"

"Just in case!" Tsunade understood. "That's typical of Chiyo."

"I remember, the Red Squad seems to be resting in the village?" Tsunade looked at Shizune.

"That's right, Lady Tsunade, the Red Squad has been resting for a week!" Shizune said quickly, flipping through the document in her hand.

"Alright, call the Red Squad over!" Tsunade said decisively.

At the same time, considering the vastness of the desert and the limitations of human power, she thought for a moment and then said, "Add Asmaban as well!"

"Asuma Squad?" Shizune hesitated and looked at Tsunade. "But Lady Tsunade, Asuma Squad just finished an A-rank mission."

"It's alright, they won't say anything!" Tsunade waved her hand, then looked at the Anbu: "Did Chiyo say she needed any support?"

"Yes!" The Anbu nodded: "According to the letter from the Sand Village ninja, an extremely troublesome poison was also found on the surviving members of the Kazekage Building's Shadow Guard!"

"Chiyo finds it troublesome?" Tsunade thought seriously for a moment, "Then... let's call Sakura over too! Naruto, go find them!"

"Yes! Multiple Shadow Clone Technique!" Having finally received Tsunade's order, Naruto, who had been itching to do so, instantly split into dozens of clones and leaped out of the Hokage's office window.

Seeing Naruto leave, Kakashi finally had a chance to ask Tsunade the question that had been bothering him:

"Lord Hokage, according to the information from the Sand Village, there are only two Akatsuki members attacking. Is it really necessary for us to make such a large fuss?"

What surprised him even more was that Tsunade did not deny the idea of ​​a large-scale mobilization: "A large-scale mobilization? Maybe!"

"I also hope this time it's a big mobilization! But I'm afraid it won't be!" Tsunade said with a helpless bitter smile.

"What do you mean?" Kakashi's expression hardened. "Hokage-sama, are you saying there might be other enemies?"

"That's exactly what I mean!" Tsunade nodded, thinking of Guren and Yakushi Ryo, who had been out of contact for some time, as well as the information she had gleaned from Karin.

"Who is the enemy?" Kakashi pressed.

"..." Tsunade paused for a moment, then looked at Kakashi and sighed, "I didn't intentionally want to be a riddle teller."

"But Kakashi, knowing some things too early can be a form of torture. Just like when you're on a military campaign, overly specific orders can interfere with a commander's judgment."

"In short, I'll put you in charge of the team this time. We'll make a decision based on the actual situation once we get to the scene!"

"Kakashi, I believe in you!"

Tsunade ended the sudden conversation with these words.

Since Tsunade had already said that, Kakashi felt it was even more inappropriate to ask her anything.

Moreover, after they set off, Kaiban will be arranged to provide support.

With the Konoha F4 all gathered, let alone one Akatsuki, or even two or three, what would he have to fear?

With this in mind, Kakashi easily embarked on his journey.

Three days later, outside the sealed cave in the Land of Rivers, Kakashi, who had been tracking them all along, saw two all-too-familiar figures.

"You trust me too much, Lady Tsunade!" Kakashi gave a wry smile and stopped in his tracks.

At the same time, the others also noticed Chiba and Sasuke blocking their way and all showed surprised expressions.

Naruto was the most agitated: "Senba!!! Sasuke!!! What are you doing here?!"

With that, an excited Naruto was about to move forward to meet up with Chiba and Sasuke, who were blocking his way.

Fortunately, Shikamaru, the external brain, was still online and stopped Naruto: "Calm down, Naruto, something's not right!"

"Something's not right? What's not right?" Naruto belatedly glanced around and was shocked to find that everyone's expressions were a bit strange.

"What's going on, everyone?" Naruto asked, still puzzled.

Seeing this, the hot-tempered Tooth could no longer contain his temper: "You idiot, can't you even pay attention to what Qianyu is wearing right now?"

"Clothes?" Naruto looked at Chiba and then noticed that Chiba was wearing a strange black robe today.

For some reason, Naruto felt that Chiba's black robe looked very familiar, but he just couldn't remember what it was.

Fortunately, Kurenai Yuhi reminded him.

Looking at Chiyu, the elegant and poised woman took a step forward, her expression solemn: "Phoenix Temple Chiyu Jonin, why are you wearing Akatsuki's clothes?"

"At this time, in this place, wearing these clothes and blocking our way... Phoenix Temple Jonin, have you already betrayed Konoha?!" Kurenai Yuhi asked sharply.

"Betrayal!" Hearing Kurenai's words, Naruto felt as if he had been struck by lightning, and his whole body shuddered!

Because no matter what, he couldn't associate the word "betrayal" with Qianyu!

However, Qianyu's black robe with red clouds was so eye-catching at this moment!

Anxiety, doubt, and anxiety began to grow in Naruto's heart. Looking at Chiba, who had been silent since their arrival, he anxiously called out, "Chiba, say something!"

Naruto's heart-wrenching voice finally moved Chiba.

Qianyu spoke softly: "It wasn't betrayal."

Before Naruto could show any joy, Chiba quickened her pace: "I just chose a path different from that of a ninja, to do my own thing."

"Yeah, just think of me as the second Sasuke."

"The second one... Sasuke?" Naruto muttered to himself, his mind racing.

Sasuke was his friend, but Sasuke left Konoha and became a rogue ninja.

Now, Chiba says he is the second Sasuke, which means—

"Chiba, are you going to leave Konoha like Sasuke did?!" Naruto suddenly realized.

But Sasuke has a blood feud to settle.

"I don't understand!" Naruto's face turned bright red. "Chiba, why?"

"Aren't we friends and teammates? Whatever you want to do, Kakashi-sensei will help you, and I will help you too. Why do you want to team up with those Akatsuki guys?!"

Naruto shouted, "Have you forgotten how badly Sasuke was beaten by Itachi Uchiha before?"
