Chapter 358 Prince and General Xiang Ning has the guts

Naruto growled through gritted teeth.

"With only unfounded suspicion, they attempted to destroy Konoha and put it in ruins. This is truly an injustice that cannot be tolerated by heaven! From the past to the present, the Konoha ninjas have fought for the Fire Nation, risking their lives and protecting this vast land without any effort. But now, how could they be treated so heartlessly?"

In Naruto's eyes, angry red flames burned fiercely, and that majestic momentum was like a raging torrent, violently stirring in the tavern. The surrounding tables and chairs seemed unable to withstand this force and began to tremble and shake slightly.

"Granny Tsunade, you can rest assured. I will personally handle the matter and make everything right."

After saying this, Naruto paused for a moment, bowed slightly, lowered his voice, and muttered to himself as if in deep thought:

"Granny Tsunade, look, the Lord of the Fire Country is so cruel and unjust, treating Konoha like grass, fiddling with it at will, and abandoning it like a worn-out shoe. Then why should we be so blindly loyal? You should really think carefully about the proposal I mentioned to you before. As the ancient saying goes, 'Are kings, princes, generals, and ministers of different species?' Can our Konoha Ninja Village only be a chess piece controlled by others forever? If we can break free of these shackles and let the serfs sing, Konoha will surely rise to the top of the world and will no longer be subjected to such humiliation and threats."

Tsunade's face instantly turned extremely ugly. Naruto once revealed his intention to rule the ninja world.

Now that it came out of his mouth again, she didn't know how to face it for a moment.

Naruto seemed to see the struggle in her heart, and he also knew that forcing her would be useless.

Then he slowly stood up, took the wine glass from Tsunade's hand and drank it all, and then said firmly:

"Granny Tsunade, I know my words have embarrassed you. But please believe me, I am not completely blinded by ambition. Konoha is my home and my belief to me. I just don't want to see it destroyed so easily. I will bury this 'rebellious' thought deep in my heart and go all out to resolve the crisis at hand, find Obiru, and clear Konoha's name."

Shizune stared at the scene in a daze, not daring to breathe.

She knew the seriousness of the matter and understood Naruto's character. Once he made up his mind, it would be difficult for him to change his mind. But at this moment, she could only pray silently that Tsunade could handle it properly and prevent Naruto from going to extremes.

Tsunade was silent for a long time, then slowly said: "Naruto, you little brat, you are underage, how dare you drink?"

At this time, Naruto had already walked to the door. He suddenly turned around, a bright and fearless smile appeared on his face, and he said loudly:

"Granny Tsunade, what I drank was not liquor, but my determination and courage for Konoha, which was as hot as a raging fire and as endless as a surging river. They surged in my heart and flowed in my blood, making me unable to restrain myself for a moment. I was eager to throw myself into the fight for Konoha."

After he finished speaking, he strode out first, followed closely by Sasuke and Kimimaro. The figures of the three of them quickly disappeared into the dark night of Konoha, leaving only the sound of footsteps gradually fading away.

After Naruto left, Tsunade and Shizune turned their heads and looked at the empty doorway.

Tsunade's face was full of worry and sorrow. She knew very well that Naruto's current strength was unfathomable. That power was like a giant beast lurking in the dark night. Its deterrent power made her still fearful and she dared not face it easily.

She fully hoped that in future turmoil, Naruto would be able to restrain his anger and strength, avoid bloodshed as much as possible, and be less involved in killing.

Naruto was now hidden in the darkness, his face shrouded in shadow, and the only thing that could be seen was a pair of eyes flashing with an icy cold and vicious light.

He snorted in his heart: "Humph, you are worthy of being the leader of a country, but you act so decisively and cruelly, trying to uproot Konoha based on groundless suspicion. Do you really think that the throne is as solid as a rock and your position is as stable as Mount Tai? If you are stubborn and insist on forcing Konoha into a desperate situation, don't blame me, Naruto, for turning your Fire Country upside down in the future and making you regret what you did today."

In a quiet place in the forest, Naruto stopped and turned to look at Sasuke, his eyes searching: "Sasuke, what do you think? In the current situation, Konoha is in danger, and the Lord of the Fire Country is so determined. I'm afraid our actions will be difficult."

Sasuke frowned slightly, his eyes were cold and deep: "Humph, there must be something fishy behind this. That Beiluo suddenly appeared and spoke nonsense, and then all countries were on the verge of attacking Konoha. I'm afraid someone deliberately planned to use this incident to stir up disputes and reap profits. We can't be led by the nose. We must find Beiluo first and dig out the truth from him."

Kimimaro nodded gently at the side: "Sasuke's words make sense, but the whereabouts of that Hiruko are unknown now, and it may not be easy to find him. And we have to be careful of the people from other ninja villages. They now regard Konoha as an enemy. Once we meet, it will be a fierce battle."

Naruto clenched his fists: "No matter what, I will not let Konoha be destroyed. The Lord of the Fire Country treats Konoha like this, I must let him know that Konoha is not a pawn that can be discarded at will."

At this moment, Naruto seemed to be struck by a flash of inspiration, and his thoughts raced in his mind.

Then, the light in his eyes flickered, and in an instant, a deep and mysterious space crack appeared out of nowhere.

It was the spiritual world of space that Naruto controlled. Its unique spatial force fluctuations caused slight ripples in the surrounding air.

The moment the crack opened, three figures rolled out in a panic like kites with broken strings.

Kakuzu, Deidara, and Sasori, the three famous members of the Akatsuki organization, appeared here in a slightly embarrassed manner.

Sasuke and Kimimaro reacted as fast as lightning, their nerves tensed in an instant, their waists lowered, their legs slightly separated, and their hands drew their weapons swiftly. Chakra surged around their bodies, and they entered a state of high alert as if facing a great enemy.

Their eyes were sharp and cold, fixed on the three uninvited guests, as if they would launch a fierce attack without hesitation if the other party made the slightest movement.

"Ahaha, ahaha, ahaha, big brother, we're out!" Deidara's signature wild laughter instantly broke the silence of the forest. He danced with excitement, completely ignoring the situation he was in. "We finally got out of that damn cage!"

However, while he was still immersed in the ecstasy of regaining his freedom, he keenly noticed that Kakuzu and Scorpion looked strange.

The two of them were not infected by the joy of freedom. Instead, their faces were as solemn as ice, and their eyes were staring at Deidara's back like hawks.

When Deidara saw this, his heart suddenly tightened, as if a chill ran up from the soles of his feet to the top of his head, and he shivered involuntarily all over.

He subconsciously turned around quickly, his movements as fast as an afterimage.

The moment his eyes met Naruto's cold and majestic eyes, he felt an invisible and powerful oppressive force rushing towards him like a surging tide, making every hair on his body stand up instantly.

The blush of excitement on his face instantly faded, replaced by a solemn and fearful expression. He gritted his teeth and cursed in a low voice: "Damn little devil!"
