Chapter 367: The Road of Ninja
on screen
【Movie Version: Road to Ninja】
Naruto's voice rang out.
[What is a ninja? I once asked this question.]
[A ninja is someone who can endure. My master once told me this.]
On a tree not far from him, stood eight ninjas wearing Akatsuki uniforms. They were members of Akatsuki and its leader, Pain.
Kakashi leaned against a tree and looked back.
[It agrees with the report. Yes, it is indeed Akatsuki. ]
In the woods
Xiaoying said solemnly: [What is going on? Why did those guys we killed show up again? ]
Shikamaru's voice came through the communicator.
[I'll tell you the reason later. There are eight enemies in total. Although we are fully aware of their abilities, it's still not easy to deal with them.]
And a voice appeared in Shikamaru's communicator.
【Ready. Please give the order.】
Shikamaru replied: [I understand.]
But at this moment...
【Rasengan! 】
Shikamaru's pupils shrank.
【What? ! 】
……
Ninja World
"Our Naruto is like this."
"Naruto's IQ... never mind, he's got a lot of temperament."
"Naruto is actually very smart and has a high combat intelligence, but it's just not very obvious most of the time."
"Naruto is the Sage Twenty! Are you scared? The ninjas of Konoha! Are you excited? The enemies on the other side!"
"By the way, who does Naruto's IQ come from... It's impossible for Minato to do that. He has a very high IQ, so that means... Ahem!"
"Smart, cautious, careful, and steady have always been Naruto's most obvious characteristics. Not only is he handsome and perfect, but he's also so smart. No wonder Sasuke defected from the village because he didn't want to live under his shadow."
"The last time Naruto was so reckless, I remember he was killed by Kakashi at the age of Thousand Years."

--boom
As the smoke dissipated.
Naruto appeared in front of all Akatsuki members.
[I can neither hide nor run. Come on, you bastards!]
He looked at Pain who was rushing towards him.
Naruto jumped up.
"And... I am..."
Thinking of this, he was kicked down by Kakuzu who suddenly appeared above him.
Naruto quickly stood up and dodged Pein's kunai attack.
With a determined look on his face, he continued to think: "…Uzumaki Naruto! He's a ninja!"
Behind a tree.
Sakura slapped her forehead.
[What's going on? You're a ninja, but you can't be patient. ]
Watching Naruto and the Akatsuki members fighting back and forth, Kakashi said: [However, he also successfully served as bait. ]
Kakashi said into the communicator: [Shikamaru.]
Shikamaru and the other two stopped.
[Group warfare is disadvantageous to us. The best strategy is to defeat the enemies one by one. So...]
not far away
Naruto was still dodging the attacks from the Akatsuki members.
……
Rain Country
The corner of Scorpion's mouth twitched slightly.
Biwa Juzang made a "qi" sound.
"Your acting is nothing like Aoi-sister."
"If this is the real Akatsuki, they won't be able to save this area if a fight breaks out."
on screen
Naruto, who was dodging, was grabbed by Choji's hand using the partial multiplication technique.
Dingci said: [Really, don't always make me worry. ]
Ino looked at Naruto who was caught and complained: [I say, are you crazy? ]
Naruto instantly exploded.
【What did you say? 】
Ino turned her face away.
Dingci said: [Although the preparations are insufficient, it is time to start. ]
【The art of multiplication! 】
【Human Bomb Tank! 】
Watching the big ball rolling towards the Akatsuki members, Ino said to Naruto: "Go back to your post."
Shino controlled the bugs and entangled Pain.
【I won't give you a chance.】
[If you ask why, it's because your technique is very troublesome. 】
Payne, who was waving his arms to swat a bug, was suddenly hit on the lower back by Yatongya.

Future Sasuke frowned subconsciously.
This... looks painful...
Ninja World
"I've unlocked a new ability of the Rinnegan, the art of randomly swatting bugs!"
"Hiss~ If my waist was hit like this, I wouldn't be able to hold on for two minutes."
"Are Akatsuki and Pein so weak? Being chased by this big meatball?"
"If my guess is correct, this should be a drill... Konoha ninjas have paid too much for this drill."

【See? Our perfect match.】
【Woof~】
the other side
Hinata uses the Gentle Fist to knock Konan down.
Naruto shouted: [Hinata! Come on! ]
Hinata's face turned slightly red.
【Naruto……】
the other side
[Power prelude! ]
"boom!"
Itachi was kicked away by Xiao Li.
Kisame, who was holding Samehada, had his facial features distorted by Kai's kick.
[Although I have fought hard before, I have been reborn now! Diligence is my trump card! ]
Kai grinned and said, "Well said, Xiao Li! Let's show them our shining youthful vitality!"
……
Ninja World
"Ah? Emperor Kai is out?"
"Isn't this a drill? Why, the person playing the Akatsuki member is a Konoha death row inmate?"
"It seems that the guy who plays Akatsuki is someone else."

the other side
Tenten stood in front of Hidan.
【Don't even think about escaping! 】
Neji also appeared behind Hidan.
【Yes. 】
"Shh!"
He rushed towards Hidan.
the other side
Naruto quickly moved through the forest.
At a certain moment, he seemed to realize something and turned to look at the house on the cliff in the distance.
[I remember that place...]
[This is the training cave used by the lecherous immortal and my father. ]
Soon, he arrived beside Sakura.
In front of Sakura was Scorpion, who was being bitten by a group of dogs and was unable to move.
[Sorry for the long wait…]
"boom!"
Sakura punched Naruto in the head.
【Don't be rash all the time. 】
At this moment, several kunai with detonating tags tied to them suddenly appeared in front and flew towards them.
Kakashi slapped the ground.
【Earth Escape: Earth Flow Wall! 】
--boom
Sai took out a brush and drew a lion on the scroll.
[Ninja Technique: Super Beast Fake Painting! 】
Deidara smashed the lion into pieces with one kunai, and ink splashed everywhere.
[Damn it! Look at me!]
Naruto had just taken two steps when a hand emerged from the ground and grabbed his ankle.
[What's going on? Bastard! ]
He looked back and suddenly screamed in fright.
[There are hands...hands...hands! 】
Sai walked over and cut off the hand that was holding Naruto's ankle with a knife.
[It is the enemy's earth escape technique.]
the other side
Kakuzu pulled his severed hand back from the ground.
He merged into the ground with Itachi and Kisame behind him.
at the same time
And there is Konan in front of Hinata.
[The enemy's aura disappeared? ]
Ino cheered: [Great! ]
[It seems that the enemy was successfully repelled. 】
【Teacher Kakashi.】
Hearing Shikamaru's voice, Kakashi looked at him, then looked at Kakuzu's hand on the ground.
[It's very strange.]

Future Sasuke frowned in thought.
"This is a bit weird."
"I didn't expect that something like this would happen..."
