Chapter 407 Assassination
Communication difficulties, transportation inconveniences, and manpower shortages mean that even if the ninjas are extremely skilled, they are still unable to maintain the security of such a large country in real time with tens of thousands of armaments.
Such a long period of preparation for war is enough to make some restless forces who were ready to take advantage of the situation but still have hesitations feel that they can seize the opportunity. We all know that it is unrealistic to repeatedly visit Ninja Village, but in order to achieve other goals, this moment is a God-given opportunity.
Just after the second meeting of the Five Kages, Naruto Uzumaki, the Nine-Tailed Jinchuuriki of Konoha, sneaked into Kumogakure Village and attempted to assassinate the Raikage, causing several casualties. Kirigakure and Iwagakure have also been attacked by Naruto recently.
The three ninja villages unanimously issued a joint arrest warrant to Konoha to arrest Uzumaki Naruto.
Anyone who thinks about it will know clearly that there is a hidden secret in this, and there must be a big article. Three ninja villages are thousands of miles apart. How could one person attack three places at the same time and still maintain Naruto's appearance? There is no way to sow discord. Such a low-end gameplay.
Of course, we must let the situation develop and lure the snake out of its hole to make a big fish in the long run.
Naruto was called to the Hokage's office, thinking he had some new tasks, but there seemed to be a lot of people in the office.
"Captain Yamato and Kakashi-sensei are both here?"
Still a big task?
All I can say is that my guess is correct.
Tsunade showed the three wanted posters directly to Naruto. Naruto frowned, feeling that something was not quite right.
When it comes to using his words to evade his enemies, Naruto should still be able to impress people with his hot-blooded and explosive talk, but when it comes to explaining something clearly, he often seems clumsy and clumsy.
"Grandma Tsunade, please listen to my explanation, someone must be trying to frame me!"
"Then tell me, who wants to frame you?"
Naruto naturally didn't know anything for a while.
This is a plain fact and you still need Naruto to say it? Yes. No matter what, even if it is known that it has nothing to do with Naruto, even if the three ninja villages know that this matter has nothing to do with Naruto, for the sake of diplomacy, politics, and face, some action must be taken to give an explanation to the outside world.
Amidst waves of injustice, Naruto was deprived of the Konoha Ninja forehead protector, locked in Yamato's wooden escape cage, and escorted to the Ghost Light City Marine Prison in the Country of Grass, waiting for further investigation of the matter.
Naruto was escorted out of the village. Sasuke's crow had been staring at Konoha, so he naturally got the news as soon as possible.
The target is Ghost Lantern City? Coupled with Naruto, these two elements only need to be briefly related, and Sasuke will have an idea of what is going on.
"Naruto Uzumaki was captured and taken to Ghost Light City."
Leng Buding was told this by Sasuke, but Xiang Ling didn't react for a while.
"Caught for what?"
"He ran to assassinate the Raikage, Iwakage, and Mizukage."
"Are you kidding me? Konoha's brain is broken?"
... After thinking for a moment, Xiang Phosphorus also realized what was strange.
"Konoha was destroyed again?"
"Kyuubi is fine, Naruto didn't even resist."
"What a fool."
Whether it was Naruto being captured without any help, or it was a group of people's miraculous manipulation.
"I'm going to go, will you come?"
"Ghost Lantern City...the Country of Grass, go, why don't you go."
"This isn't really a date."
“I don’t want to go on a date anywhere like that!”
"Then go and come back quickly."
"We're all going together?"
"It doesn't cost that much."
"Open the barrier? I can do it alone!"
"There's no need to tire yourself out."
"Where do you plan to place Naruto?"
-
Ghost Lantern City is a city of castles.
A fortress-like prison was built on a small island located in the border waters of the Country of Grass. It is specially used to detain ninjas or criminals who have given up in each village.
Those whose crimes are not serious enough to die, but who cannot continue to stay in the village, are thrown here to serve as disguised life sentences in order not to occupy the prison resources of each village. Avoiding killing people in the same village with your own hands, doing this will make the villages look more merciful.
Originally, the business here (seemingly) was mainly for small villages that could not afford prisons. It was really unnecessary for the existence of the five major countries. However, in order to find out some secrets hidden in Ghost Lantern City, spies would come from time to time and be deliberately targeted. They are called "criminals" and are sent to this prison from various countries with different crimes one after another.
It's two days' walk from Konoha.
As soon as the seal of Konoha was lifted, the Lord of Ghost Light City Wuwei immediately carved the seal of Ghost Light City on Naruto.

Tracks or markings like thick hemp ropes appear crisscrossed on Naruto's body. Any concentrated chakra will be absorbed by the seal and converted into blazing temperature to burn the body, making it impossible for the practitioner to use or even refine the chakra. As long as there is no chakra, no matter how powerful the ninja is, he is just an ordinary person, so it is naturally not difficult to manage like this. Of course, a pure taijutsu ninja would definitely not send it here.
Wuwei told the new group of prisoners that they were abandoned by the village, but Gui Deng City was only responsible for detaining them and not for interrogating them. If they want to leave, they can wait until their original village comes to pick them up. Of course, they can also try to escape.
If a prisoner without chakra wants to escape, he cannot tread water and can only rely on swimming. Even if you don't consider the ferocious sea beasts, the outside of the island is full of reefs, turbulent undercurrents, and continuous whirlpools. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is a meat grinder.
However, relatives came to the island today, and the whirlpool around Ghost Lantern City did not roar to welcome all the prisoners as in the past. It became calmer as time passed, as if it was trying to reduce its sense of existence as much as possible in front of some plague god.
The miraculous workmanship of nature cannot change at will, unless it is human interference, so of course it is human interference.
Saving people requires choosing the right time. At least let the person being rescued know that they are in distress, otherwise it will be meaningless. If you are confident in the disparity in strength, you don't have to wait for a long time to take action.
"Where are the people captured by Konoha now?"
sneak into? For Sasuke, it was no different than taking a walk. He didn't need to bother looking for it. Just ask and the jailer would "enthusiastically" point the way to the room near the prison entrance.
Naruto was stripped naked, his hands and feet were shackled, and he lay on the stone bed, twisting and turning. After cleaning, he was groped to see if there was any entrapment... the scene was once unsightly.
At this moment, Sasuke was glad that he didn't let Karin follow him in.
The jailer stopped moving his hands, stopped touching him, and walked aside. Suddenly his own voice was the only one left in the room. Naruto realized something was wrong and turned around to see Sasuke and Yakushi Kabuto who were speechless.
"Sasuke!"
"Are you here to save me!"
"I was wronged!"
Sasuke snapped his fingers and all the shackles were opened.
"Where are your clothes?"
"It should be outside the room. They asked me to take it off outside."
"You take off your clothes when they ask you to do so. You are so obedient."
Even if you don't throw away the dirty clothes, you don't have to wear them again. Sasuke doesn't have the habit of burying his own people, so he reached out and dug through the void, and threw the casual clothes he found to Naruto.
"Hurry up and change and let's go."
Uchiha's little tricks were so many that Naruto got used to them and never thought too much about them. It was precisely because of this that Sasuke relaxed his restrictions on the use of his methods in front of Naruto.
Naruto put some clothes on himself, feeling happy that he had been wronged.
