Chapter 952 Aries

As long as the person is brought back safely, it's good. But why did Naruto disappear?" Tsunade looked at Tenzou seriously.

Tenzo bowed his head, "Hokage-sama, we are still investigating. Our initial guess is that someone deliberately lured Naruto to a certain place. But we have no clues as to who it is."

Tsunade crossed her arms over her chest, thought for a moment and then said, "We must find out as soon as possible. Naruto is an important force in Konoha Village and we must not let him fall into danger again. And there may be a bigger conspiracy against Konoha behind this matter."

At this moment, there was a commotion outside the door. Then Shikamaru rushed in, "Hokage, I have a clue! I just analyzed Naruto's movements and some abnormal signs in the surrounding area, and found that there were Anbu members from the Sand Village who were around. It is very likely that they are related."

Tsunade frowned, "The Sand Village? Why are they doing this? Is it to destroy the relationship between Konoha and the Kingdom of Demons? Tenzang, you must take people to the Sand Village to negotiate immediately, and be sure to give me a satisfactory answer." Tenzang took the order and left in a hurry, leaving Tsunade's solemn face alone in the room.

Tenzou led a team of ninjas and rushed towards the Sand Village. In the Sand Village, Gaara was sitting in the house thinking. He knew the seriousness of this incident. In fact, he did not instruct the Anbu personnel to participate in Naruto's disappearance, but Konoha Village must have doubts. At this time, his subordinates came to report the arrival of the Konoha messenger. Gaara tidied his clothes and went out to greet him.

After seeing Gaara, Tenzo directly stated his purpose. Gaara responded calmly, saying that the Sand Village had no ill intentions and was willing to cooperate with the investigation. He also said that some mysterious people had been active around the Sand Village recently, and it was suspected that someone deliberately disguised himself as the Sand Village Anbu to provoke relations between the two villages. Tenzo was skeptical. At this moment, several kunai were suddenly fired from the distance, and everyone hurriedly dodged. A group of black-robed people appeared, and one of them laughed wildly and said, "You really fell into the trap. When Konoha and Sand Village are suspicious of each other, it is our opportunity to take action." It turned out that this was done by a group of wandering ninjas who had been coveting the resources of the two villages. After both sides knew the truth, they decided to join forces to fight the enemy. A melee broke out, and finally successfully repelled the enemy. Konoha and Sand Village also resolved the misunderstanding and jointly searched for Naruto's true whereabouts.

After some discussion, Tenzo and Gaara reached a consensus and decided to integrate the intelligence of both parties to re-sort out the clues of Naruto's disappearance. They speculated that the group of black-robed wandering ninjas might just be pawns being used, and there was someone else behind the scenes.

Therefore, the Sand Village sent out ninjas who were good at tracking to follow the route that the black-robed man had taken, while the Konoha ninjas carefully searched for suspicious places in the surrounding area. Soon after, the ninjas of the Sand Village found a secret cave with traces of remaining seal runes.

Tenzo realized that this might be related to the Nine-Tails power in Naruto, and perhaps some forces were trying to control or extract the Nine-Tails power. At this time, they received news that someone saw someone who looked like Naruto being taken into an abandoned testing ground.

The two sides quickly rushed there and found the imprisoned Naruto. It turned out that the remnants of an evil organization many years ago wanted to use the Nine-Tails to destroy Konoha and Sunagakure and rule this land. But they didn't expect that Konoha and Sunagakure had reconciled and arrived, and they were eventually caught in one fell swoop, and Naruto was also rescued safely.

After being rescued, Naruto had a deeper understanding of his own shortcomings. He found Jiraiya and said firmly: "Teacher, I want to accept more rigorous training, improve my vigilance, and never want to drag everyone down because of my weaknesses." Jiraiya nodded with satisfaction.

So, Jiraiya brought Naruto to a mysterious valley. It was full of various unknown dangers, which could train Naruto in all aspects. At the beginning, Naruto was always embarrassed by the traps and attacks that suddenly appeared, but he was not discouraged.

As time went by, Naruto gradually learned to sense the slightest movement around him. One day, a group of wild beasts suddenly rushed towards them. Naruto's eyes changed, and he instantly realized the direction of their attack, easily avoiding and subduing the beasts.

Jiraiya laughed when he saw this: "Naruto, you've made a lot of progress." Naruto clenched his fists confidently, "Teacher, I will become even stronger. It's up to me to protect the village in the future!" After that, Naruto trained even harder, and Konoha Village became more stable and prosperous because of Naruto's continuous strengthening. He became a truly trustworthy hero in the hearts of the villagers.

A few years later, Naruto has grown into a powerful ninja who can stand on his own. However, under the peace, there are undercurrents. One day, an envoy from a distant country came to visit Konoha Village. He brought a shocking news - an ancient and evil power is about to revive, and once this power awakens, it will threaten the entire ninja world.

Tsunade urgently summoned the ninjas in the village to discuss countermeasures. Naruto stepped forward and volunteered to explore the source of this evil force.

He embarked on a journey and encountered many unprecedented challenges along the way. During a journey across the desert, he was attacked by a giant sandworm, and Naruto used his newly learned ninjutsu to cleverly resolve the crisis.

Finally, Naruto found the hiding place of the evil power, which turned out to be a cursed ancient ruins. Here, he met his former enemy Sasuke. It turned out that Sasuke also heard the news and rushed over. The two smiled at each other and put aside their past grudges.

They worked together, fought hard, and successfully sealed the evil force.

When Naruto returned to Konoha Village, he was warmly welcomed by the whole village. From then on, Konoha Village established closer ties with other countries to jointly protect the peace of the ninja world.

After that, Naruto did not let down his guard. He often thought of the battle in the cursed ancient ruins, and knew that there were still many unknown dangers in the ninja world.

One day, Naruto was teaching young ninjas in the village how to practice ninjutsu. Suddenly, a strange light flashed across the sky, and then the ground trembled slightly. Naruto had an uneasy premonition in his heart. He immediately arranged for the young ninjas to hide in a safe area, and he rushed to the source of the light.

After arriving at the destination, he found a formation that exuded a strange aura. There was a faint figure swaying in the formation, as if some powerful creature was about to appear. Naruto took a deep breath and prepared for battle.

At this moment, Sasuke also sensed something was wrong and rushed to help. The two looked at each other and launched attacks at the same time to try to destroy the formation. However, the formation was too strong and each attack could only make it flicker a few times.

Just as they were anxious, Naruto had an idea and thought that combining the two's strongest ninjutsu might be able to break the formation. Sasuke understood, and the two of them worked together to perform an amazing joint ninjutsu. With a dazzling light, the formation was finally broken, the potential crisis was eliminated again, and Konoha Village returned to its former tranquility and peace.
