After a few days of careful observation,
Jiraiya finally found a way to drag "his team" out of the "pigsty".
"How dare you steal our big fat pigs from Konoha!" Sasuke looked at the note in his hand silently.
He shouted himself hoarse.
Naruto, on the other hand, didn't need any hint board to dance around.
"I've been eating fish all day and I'm about to turn into a cat. I'm just relying on these pigs to eat some meat.
My pork belly! My little pork ribs! "
"This is unforgivable." Sakura looked at her two teammates speechlessly.
She then looked at Jiraiya, who had a threatening look on his face.
She ended the one-act play with a sigh.
"Hurry up and chase after them!"
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh."
Four figures rushed out of the pigsty.
They stepped on the bricks and grass and climbed over the tall fence.
They left the base under the gloomy gaze of the Black Sentinel.
At the border of the Fire Nation, ten minutes away from Konoha's base, by the cliff.
In a small cave. The Vulture family trembled as they watched the two-legged bandits who suddenly barged in. However, the bandits didn't seem to have much interest in birds.
"Domestic pigs aren't as tasty as wild boars." Jiraiya poked at the fire, took a sip of wine, and shaved his teeth with a kunai.
"The main problem is that we don't have enough seasoning." Naruto lay in the haystack, stretched out his legs and farted silently.
Sasuke silently turned his head and covered his nose, distancing himself from Naruto.
Sakura stood up and gave Naruto a kick. "That's enough.
We're full now.
We're out of the base in broad daylight.
What's next? "
"You're getting less cute as you grow older." Jiraiya shook his wine gourd.
He thought that he could go to the port to store some savings. "Since we left the base under the pretext of stealing pigs, we have to catch a thief before we can go back.
"Moreover, this Thief can't be too ordinary. Otherwise, how could he sneak into the heavily guarded base?" Naruto's face was filled with joy, but his heart was surging with emotions. He could finally complete a mission like a normal ninja! It was great to be the son of the Golden Flash, but he couldn't live under his father's halo for the rest of his life.
Sasuke took out a handkerchief and carefully wiped his shuriken. His face was still calm, but his eyes were shining with an uncontrollable flame. His brother, Itachi, was really nice. As the second child in the family, he didn't want to compete with his brother. But he couldn't possibly be the second young master of the Uchiha family for the rest of his life. "This thief should still be on the list. Perhaps his bounty ranking isn't high, but at least he should be recognized as having some standard."
"Of course." Jiraiya finished the last mouthful of wine in his gourd. "The border of the Fire Kingdom has always been full of rebellious ninjas and bandits. Let's go out to sea to catch pirates when it's dark!"
"Out to sea!" Earlier, when everyone said that they wanted to find an opportunity to go out and have fun, as a teammate, she didn't object. But this precocious girl had a precocious best friend, and this best friend's father was Konoha's former chief of staff. Sakura felt that she might understand the meaning of their team better than Jiraiya, who "never grew up" sensei. "If we're going out to sea, let's report to Kai-sama."
"Childish." Jiraiya knocked Sakura's head. "What's the difference between telling Guy and telling the whole world?"
"Kai-sama isn't as unreliable as you." Sakura protested. "Besides, it's such a simple trick. Do you really think that the people on duty don't know what you're up to? Out to sea? Humph, maybe you'll see the Anbu members standing at the bow of the ship as soon as you board. "
"But they didn't decisively chase after us. Little girl, do you know how many unregistered ships come and go at the port every day? He knows when we're going to board which ship. " Jiraiya looked around and said disdainfully, "According to my observations these days, the Anbu members are just helping Naruto keep an eye on his son's movements. Hahaha, Konoha has always been understaffed. How can there be someone to keep an eye on him? Besides, everyone knows … Naruto, now, you — take off your clothes. "
"What, what, what." Naruto took a few steps back and almost stepped on Vulture's family of birds. "You're jumping around too fast!"
"Is it fast?" Sasuke felt that he would never forget the "interesting thing about Naruto" that his brother accidentally let slip. Naruto's father was a golden flash who could run to his son's side and peep at him with just a simple hand gesture. "Sakura, back off."
"Hey, hey, hey, Sakura, don't go. Look at Sasuke. Ahhh, Sasuke, what are you doing? Don't take off my pants. You're angry. " Naruto shivered when Sasuke's cold hand touched him. "No, don't do that. It's itchy. Don't, ah ~ Yamato, Yamato ~"
Jiraiya also shivered when he heard Naruto's scream. He quickly grabbed Sasuke and threw him aside. "You two, be serious. Naruto, take off your clothes and take out all your weapons. Let me check if your father put Thor's coordinates on you! It's not easy to meet a rebellious ninja, but after just one round, your father is already standing in front of you. "
"My father …" Naruto curled his lips. "This isn't Konoha. Thor can't be so far away."
"Cut the crap. Don't you want to go out to sea to catch traitors?"
Naruto puffed up his cheeks and took out his belongings seriously. Shurikens, explosive charms, military ration pills … soy sauce, vinegar, and a pair of iron chopsticks.
Jiraiya quickly took out a large magnifying glass and checked everything carefully.
"I said … Is this necessary?"
"Yes." Jiraiya didn't even raise his head. "You don't know. Your father loved to carve words on cockroach wings."
But after looking around, Jiraiya didn't find anything. He rubbed his chin and stripped Naruto naked. He didn't even let go of his underwear. "Oh, it's starting to grow fur."
"Hey, my father wouldn't be so bored as to draw his underwear!" Naruto hurriedly protected the key parts. "Also, if you want to check my underwear, I'm not afraid of you looking, but don't touch it with your oily hands that have eaten barbecued pork, okay?! You'll get pimples! "
"Pimples? Pimples? Pimples on your butt are called boils." Jiraiya threw the underwear in his hand into the fire. He thought for a moment and threw all of Naruto's clothes into the fire. "I don't care if your father wrote or not. Sasuke, give your clothes to Naruto."
Sasuke was reluctant. His clothes weren't like Naruto's. They were sewn by his mother. "I don't think it's useful to change my clothes. Maybe the seal is still on Naruto."
"Then there's no other way. Do you want to bet?"
"I'll bet."
"Wait, I said …" Naruto looked at Sasuke and Jiraiya. His heart sank. "Isn't my clothes burned?"
Sasuke opened his face and looked outside.
Jiraiya grabbed Naruto's arm and checked it. "Forget it … You two wait here."
Half an hour later, Jiraiya returned to the cave with two small bags. He pinched his nose and said, "Our master owns a restaurant in the Fire Country. This year, business is so good that he can't go home. He asked us to send the young lady and this year's profits back to the Water Country for the New Year."
Naruto put on his potato colored jacket and trousers. He held his tomato-colored hair cap and blinked at the black-haired, white-lipped Sakura. "You're the young lady and I'm your attendant?"
Sasuke unfolded his navy blue samurai outfit and looked at Jiraiya who was also wearing a samurai outfit and had a sword hanging from his waist. "We're guards."
"Yes." Jiraiya patted his waist and revealed his golden hair. "Remember, we're nouveau riche."
"Yes, we do look like fat sheep." Sakura played with the gemstone bracelet on her wrist and frowned. "But two young men, a young girl, and a tall old man. It's easy to tell that it's us."
"It's dark under the light." Jiraiya smiled like a sly old fox. "Think about it carefully."
Sakura was not satisfied with Jiraiya's answer. She stared at Naruto. "Also, you have to think about it carefully. If the Lord of the Four Generations knows about this, he'll be very angry."
Naruto certainly did not want his father to worry about him. However, he was unwilling to live the rest of his life according to his father's plan. Besides, if he were to go back now … Naruto looked at Sasuke's eyes that were filled with determination. He gritted his teeth and said, "Ah, my father is actually very easy to appease."
…
At the border of the Cauldron of Fire, Konoha's station.
In the office building, Metke's office.
"To a certain extent, Naruto is indeed very easy to appease."
Metke wanted to flash his 24 white teeth, but it was as if his lips were glued together. No matter how hard he tried, he could not open his mouth. He did not like the current Lord of the Four Generations. He was hypocritical, cunning, and not at all kind. He did not seem like a good person at all. However, he could not deny that Bo Fung Watergate was a great Naruto. As a good subordinate of the Hokage, he never thought that one day he would …
"Especially the leader of the Four Generations, Naruto. Every day in Konoha, he doesn't step out of the door. He knows everything from the reports. "
Metke wanted to spit out to refute this argument, but his throat felt dry as if he had just swallowed sand.
"So, it's just a document. Usually, Lord Naruto won't find out if we do something."
"No!" Metke finally slammed the table and was able to open his mouth. "This is deceiving! Yasuji, this is deceiving! "
Hinata Yasuji tilted his head. He was not afraid of his ferocious teacher at all. "Then what do you plan to do?"
Metke let out a long sigh and rubbed his hair. "I thought they were bored and wanted to go out to play … Jiraiya -sama has mentioned it to me several times."
"The old man wants you to hesitate when making a decision." Yasuji shrugged. His teacher's strength was outstanding, and his IQ was not as low as what was written on his face. Was he too gullible? Perhaps. "Anyway, you didn't try to stop them just now. Now, don't complain about why the Anbu is so embarrassing."
"Maybe they just went out to play, and it's dark. Or maybe they'll be back early tomorrow morning?" Guy winked at Yasuji, barely revealing eight teeth.
"Then they wouldn't have suddenly disappeared."
"Maybe we can look carefully. As long as they haven't gone out to sea, we can always find them."
"Don't lie to yourself, Kay-sensei." Yasuji shattered Guy's optimistic fantasy. "Although they're doing D-level missions every day, they're still an elite team, and the one leading them is still the experienced Jiraiya -sama. Unless you directly declare martial law at the port and make a big fuss. But don't forget, first, we don't have that many people at our disposal. Second, if we make a big fuss, Konoha will know faster. "
Guy jumped on the back of the chair and squatted like a frog.
Yasuji sighed. "Whether it's true or not, it's normal and understandable for a Genin team to arrest a thief. So why are we in a dilemma? "
Guy straightened his back and began to stand on the back of the chair. "Because we can't predict how the Four Generations -sama will react when they hear that their son is missing."
"Maybe they'll just ignore it and go catch the pig thief. Good luck to them. Maybe … "Yasuji, who was now 15 years old, was already sensible at that time. He didn't want to recall the terrible Chakra that Uncle Naruto released when he couldn't find Naruto for an entire afternoon." Think about when Naruto was five years old. "
Guy also shuddered. He was at the scene at that time. He saw with his own eyes that the Four Generations found the mini three-pronged kunai that was supposed to be on Naruto's neck under the bed, and then the chaotic Konoha. "But there's always a time when we can't deceive them anymore. If they come back in a few days, then everything will be fine. But what if something happens?"
Yasuji licked his lips. "My father always told me when I was young that if one day I made a mistake, I shouldn't foolishly think that honesty is a virtue. For example, if I didn't pass the Shapeshifting Jutsu, I'll just say that I didn't pass. It's completely different from saying that I failed because I laughed like crazy when I saw a classmate turn into a monster. "
"That's why we have to tell the truth. The truth is that Jiraiya -sama led a team of ninjas to catch the pig thief." Guy covered his head. "As for the rest … they didn't go missing. It's just that it's difficult to contact them while they're on a mission?"
"No, it's better if you don't say that last sentence." Yasuji helped his teacher lay out the paper and twisted the cap off his pen.
Guy jumped off the back of his chair and picked up the pen. He chewed on the pen. "I hope nothing bad happens."
"Jiraiya -sama is Naruto's Jonin sensei."
"You're right."
…
Meanwhile, in the Land of Fire, Konoha
Naruto Building, Naruto's office.
Bo Fung Watergate put down his pen and rubbed his wrist. It was 4: 33 pm. There was still some time before his dinner time, but he was already a little flustered. "Yamato, give me a cup of hot cocoa."
Yamato frowned slightly under his cat mask. In fact, he had already noticed that Four Generations' expression was a little off. "My lord, are you tired?"
"Don't learn that from Genma, okay?" Watergate sighed and took out a packet of biscuits. "I didn't eat enough for lunch. I'm probably a little hungry."
Yamato made a large cup of hot cocoa and brought it over. Then, he began to crack open the walnuts.
"…" Watergate was speechless, but he wasn't in the mood to stop him today. He drank a lot of sweet and greasy cocoa, but he still felt flustered. Moreover, it didn't seem to be a sign of hypoglycemia. "I have a feeling that something is going to happen."
Yamato didn't say anything. He put the walnuts next to Naruto's hand and began to peel an apple.
"I already had an apple this morning." Watergate crushed the walnuts one by one into the cocoa and stirred it with a spoon.
Yamato put down the half-peeled apple and began to peel a pear.
Watergate drank his cocoa and looked at the fist-sized pear. He suddenly felt that the nutrition injections and vitamin pills weren't particularly unacceptable. "How's Kakashi these days?"
"Oh." Yamato put down the half-peeled pear, wiped his hands, and flipped through the pile of documents for a while before he found the information about Kakashi. "Well, he didn't say anything. He only said that everything was going well."
"When?"
"Three days ago."
"Okay." Watergate rubbed the cup and analyzed. He still felt that with Kakashi's current strength, even if something happened, he would be able to escape. As for what trouble he caused? Getting into trouble was part of the plan, and he wasn't afraid of Kakashi causing trouble. Then, what else could this panicked premonition be? Watergate suddenly felt even more panicked. "Yamato, stop peeling pears, find me the information about Naruto."
"Oh, oh, oh." Yamato didn't even wipe his hands this time and went straight to Naruto's folder. "Well, he's still helping at the pig farm."
Watergate reached out his hand and pulled the folder over, "I'll see it myself."
Yamato looked at Naruto's frown and suddenly felt a little panicked. He knew that a powerful and experienced ninja always had a sense of foresight for danger … Could it be that something really happened to master Naruto?
But fortunately, Watergate was soon relieved and buckled the folder, "It's true that you can't sit for so long every day. People who lack exercise are not strong enough."
Yamato was also relieved. He looked outside and saw the dry and cold northwest wind blowing in the gloomy sky, "If the weather is good, you can go out for a walk."
"If the weather is bad, it's fine." Watergate stood up and stretched his shoulders. He picked up the pear that he hadn't finished peeling and began to gnaw on it. As he gnawed on it, he still felt that something was wrong. He put down the pear and took out the
Thor's communicator. After a few keystrokes, a "beep beep beep" sound came from the communicator – it was turned off. "It better be Jiraiya -sensei forgot to charge it."
"Maybe it's broken." Yamato heard the words "Jiraiya" and began to panic again, "Lord, don't worry, Thor's communicator sometimes malfunctions, otherwise it would have been distributed to Konoha."
"That's true." Watergate put away the communicator and prepared to continue working, but he just couldn't sit still, "Even if the malfunction rate is high, I should have given Guy one first. Even if he might think that I'm controlling him and don't trust him, I should have given him one alone. Have the Covert Unit send a message to Guy. Speed it up and confirm why Jiraiya didn't turn it on."
"Yes, Lord." Yamato clapped his hands and made a few gestures, then advised again, "Lord, don't let your imagination run wild."
"Okay." Watergate nodded and finally sat down at his desk, "Even if there's a communicator, the phone line should have been laid to the base. We shouldn't have saved that little bit of money."
"Lord, it's not that little bit of money." Yamato could only comfort Naruto, who was getting more and more anxious. He felt that he should find an opportunity to inform Genma, "Besides, it's just a little bit of your sixth sense. You should know that you haven't been on a mission for many, many years."
"Uh." Watergate suddenly felt a little embarrassed, "Now that I think about it, it seems that my brain is really cramping up … Why don't I ask the Covert Unit to come back? Hmm, no, it's better to confirm it so that I can feel at ease. Ahem, actually, it's better to have a false alarm than to be frightened. "
"Yes, Lord."
A false alarm was indeed better than being frightened.
