Chapter 471: Naruto is hit hard, and Akatsuki is attacked unexpectedly

The next morning.

Naruto and Sasuke came to the Otogakure Village Photo Studio again, and Orochimaru, under the instruction of Liuyun, assigned some bloody tasks to the two.

"Your mission is to go to the Fire Nation with the others and eliminate all the followers of the old nobles and the rebellious forces within the Fire Nation who refuse to submit..."

"Remember this: kill all those who disobey you, and don't spare any resistance!"

Orochimaru threw an intelligence scroll to the two of them, which marked the coordinates of the enemy's location.

"As the vanguard, you only need to be responsible for suppressing the rebellion and clearing out the enemy. Administrators will naturally take over the cities you conquer later..."

"Yes!"

After hearing Orochimaru's task arrangement, Sasuke quickly straightened up and responded loudly, while Naruto was slightly distracted as he looked at the scroll in his hand.

"Namikaze Naruto, do you have any questions about the task I assigned you?" Orochimaru asked coldly as he looked at Naruto who was distracted.

"No...no..." Naruto answered subconsciously.

"Lord Onkage, Naruto has just arrived here, so he might just be a little uncomfortable with it..." Minato quickly spoke up to rescue his child.

At this time, he was wearing a forehead protector from the Otogakure Village, and his identity had quickly changed from a Konoha Jonin to a Otogakure Village Jonin. However, Naruto and Sasuke did not even have a forehead protector now, and theoretically, they were not Otogakure Village ninjas yet.

As a ninja who possesses the Flying Thunder God Technique, Minato was also included in the ranks of the vanguard army. The Otogakure Village sent him to attack cities and seize territories. This mission was bloody, but it was undeniable that it was also an excellent job.

After all, the one who rushes to the front is naturally the first to eat the meat. Although the target of the strategy is the Fire Nation, there is some psychological burden, but the Fire Nation is also the most profitable among all the nations...

To deal with a group of ordinary people who have lost their chakra, one ninja can unilaterally massacre those forces. All the senior ninjas of Otogakure Village have been instructed that after conquering the city where the mission is located, 5% of the net profit of the spoils harvested by Otogakure Village will be distributed as the reward for the senior ninja mission.

With this mission, every member of the vanguard can eat himself into a big fat man in one go and lay a solid economic foundation for a better life in the future.

"Now that we've received the mission, let's carry it out..."

Orochimaru dismissed everyone without even looking up. He had a lot of work to do, a series of important documents that felt like they would never be finished. This was the amount of work left after a team of people screened it...

The world is too big, and there are too few ninjas in the Hidden Sound Village. If they want to conquer all the countries, it will take a lot of time for the ninjas to travel, not to mention the subsequent governance work.

So for this reason, Orochimaru decided to conquer the five major countries first, and then gradually erode the series of small and medium-sized countries.

"Naruto, what were you daydreaming about? The Hidden Sound Village is not like Konoha. The discipline here is strict, and Lord Orochimaru doesn't tolerate any grain of sand in his eyes. Besides, you're not a Hidden Sound Village ninja yet... You should be careful about everything. You can't let yourself get distracted while taking a mission like that happen again!"

Minato couldn't help but groan in reproach.

"I just... I just can't accept this task..."

The first task assigned to him by the Otogakure Village was to wield the butcher knife against his former compatriots. This kind of task caused Naruto to feel very resistant.

"If you really can't accept it, then don't be a ninja... Ninjas are never good people. If you become a ninja, you must be aware of it. If you accept a mission and don't carry it out well, the consequences may be very serious..."

Sasuke said with a sigh.

He knew that Naruto was a very kind person, even a little saintly, and that such a person was actually not suitable to be a ninja.

When they were in Konoha, others would still give them care and tolerance because of their status as the son of a hero. But now that they and their son have come to Otogakure Village, they no longer receive such treatment.

Especially since Orochimaru is still the head of the Otogakure Village, Liuyun rarely interferes in the affairs of the Otogakure Village.

"Who said I won't carry out the mission well?" Naruto retorted stubbornly with a red face.

"Can you kill all the resistance?" Sasuke asked after glancing at him.

"I... Of course I can do it..."

Naruto's voice dropped significantly, and Minato couldn't help but sigh heavily upon hearing this:

"Let my shadow clone follow you..."

"Dad! Don't you believe me, too?"

His father's actions undoubtedly showed that he was incapable of standing on his own, which was a huge blow to Naruto. He was a Six Paths-level expert recognized by everyone before, and the hope of the entire village...

Unexpectedly, in just a few days, the people closest to him thought he was not a good enough ninja...

……

The plan to conquer the world is proceeding in an orderly manner. Compared with the busy ninjas of Otogakure, the Akatsuki organization, as the guardian of the sacred tree, seems a little bored.

"I'm so bored... I really want to find someone to fight..." Deidara sighed as he lay on a branch of the sacred tree.

"Who said it wasn't... There's obviously no enemy at all, yet I still have to guard this broken tree every day... I feel like my sickle is about to rust..." Feiduan's complaints were heard from the top of the tree.

"Since both of you are so belligerent, why don't you continue your fight on the ground..." Scorpion of the Red Sand suggested.

"Brother Scorpion is right. Why don't you two have another fight? It will be a good way for us to pass the time by watching the fight..." Kisame suggested with a smile.

"What are we fighting for? Deidara is a coward who only knows how to fly around and drop bombs. He uses the same tactics every time. I won't fight with someone like him..." Feidan couldn't help but complain.

"Haha...you are a defeated general, so all you can do is talk big..." Deidara glanced at him disdainfully.

"Asshole! If you have the guts, don't fly. Let's fight to the death on the ground!" Feiduan cursed angrily.

"I can fly, why should I fight you on the ground?"

"That's enough. You keep arguing about the same things. It's annoying to you, but we are. If you can just fight, then stop arguing..." Kakuzu said impatiently.

The two of them snorted coldly upon hearing this, and were too lazy to continue arguing...

"Is this fruit about to ripen?"

Xiaonan murmured as she looked at the huge chakra fruit in the barrier. Even through the tight barrier, she could feel the surging breath emitted by the chakra fruit, and she could even faintly smell some tempting fragrance emitted by the fruit!

"Well... it should be soon. This fruit has integrated the chakra of everyone in the ninja world. I can't believe how powerful Ryuun-kun will become after eating this fruit..." Nagato said with emotion.

Just when all the people in Akatsuki were diligently guarding the sacred tree, a strange space vortex suddenly appeared on the top of the tree. Everyone thought that the boss had arrived, but the next moment, the terrifying murderous intent emanating from the space vortex made everyone in Akatsuki's face change drastically.

"careful!"

Countless six black sticks shot out from the space vortex, and almost all members of the Akatsuki organization were within the shooting range of the black sticks!
