Chapter 262 Is Also To Protect Naruto
Tsunade nodded, yes, but this plan is a bit special and requires some ninjas as 'sacrifice'.
Kakashi's eyes became serious, and I understood that this was a difficult decision. But if it helps us win the war, then it's worth doing.
Tsunade smiled slightly, and I thought so too.
And soon.
Tsunade sat in the office with a thoughtful look on his face.
Naruto and the others must not be allowed to find out about the sacrifice.
This was to protect Naruto after all.
If Naruto knew of this plan, he might rush into battle without hesitation.
Trying to save the ninjas designated as sacrifices.
This could ruin the whole plan and allow Mikio's area of power to be concentrated.
The next day.
Tsunade stood at the door of Hokage's office, watching Naruto walk away, feeling a little uneasy.
Naruto, this mission is very important. You must find the prophesied octopus. This may be the key to defeating our enemies. Tsunade's voice was full of seriousness.
Naruto nodded, understood, Hokage-sama. I will definitely complete the task.
Tsunade smiled slightly, I believe you will.
Naruto walked to the pier of Konoha Village, where Inwa, Guy and Ye were already waiting for him.
You're here, Naruto. Yamato said with a smile.
Well, let's go. There was a hint of determination in Naruto's voice.
Four people boarded a small boat and prepared to go to sea. But at this moment, the sea suddenly surged, and a huge water column rose into the sky, overturning their boat.
What's going on?! Guy yelled.
Don't know, but we have to solve this problem as soon as possible! Yamato said nervously.
Kearns felt uneasy, and his instinct told him that Naruto and the others might be in trouble. He decided to temporarily leave the observation position and check it out for himself.
He moved quickly, passing through several hills and forests, and finally arrived at the coastline of Konoha Village. He saw Naruto and the others fighting a giant water monster.
It seems I have to take action. Kearns thought to himself.
He quickly made a few hand seals and then shouted: Water Style·Water Dragon Bomb Technique!
A huge water dragon rose from the sea and rushed directly towards the water monster. The water monster was hit, let out a scream, and then slowly sank into the sea.
Naruto and the others breathed a sigh of relief when they saw this scene.
Thank you, Mr. Kearns. Naruto said with emotion.
It's okay, this is what I should do. Kearns responded calmly.
It's time for us to move on. Yamato said.
Well, we can't let Master Hokage down. Guy said firmly.
Kearns watched them reboard the ship and prepare to go to sea, thinking to himself: Naruto, you still have a long way to go, but you are no longer walking alone.
He turned around and left, disappearing at the edge of the sea.
Kakashi stood in front of the window of Hokage's office, looking at the coastline in the distance.
Kearns, I know you have been protecting them in 193, but this time, I hope they can learn to protect themselves. He thought to himself.
Kearns felt Kakashi's gaze, smiled slightly, and disappeared into the night.
That night, Konoha Village was unusually quiet, but everyone knew that this was just the calm before the storm.
In this upcoming war, everyone has something to protect, whether it is the Hokage, ordinary ninjas, or those who observe silently.
Kearns returned to his observation position and continued to pay attention to everything in Konoha Village.
He knew that no matter what happened next, he would stand by his students until the end.
