Chapter 140: The Way of Ninja

Chapter 140: The Way of Ninja
Naruto appeared in the room he often used in the base, and sat on the bed panting. Hinata Jianke found something wrong and came over immediately. Seeing Naruto's appearance, he hurriedly said: "Sir, are you injured? Do you need to call a medical team?" Naruto shook his head and said softly: "No, I'm not injured, I just consumed too much chakra. You protect the base, I need to rest." Seeing that Naruto was fine, Hinata Jianke nodded, closed the door, and guarded the base with the other ninjas.

Naruto felt very tired and fell directly onto the bed into a deep sleep. This situation was just like when Naruto had used up all his chakra during training. However, a voice suddenly appeared in Naruto's consciousness: "Kid, you're really trying hard. What is it for?" This was the voice of the Nine-Tails. When Naruto's chakra was weak, this consciousness space became clearer. Naruto felt that he saw the iron door and the Nine-Tails with a ferocious face behind it. Facing the Nine-Tails' rare question, Naruto said: "You may not believe it when I tell you, but I do this to bring true peace to the world."

The Nine-Tails showed a rare strange look, and then roared: "Kid, I admit that you are quite powerful now. However, in the history of ninjas, there are ninjas as powerful as you. Peace is definitely not as simple as you say. The entire ninja world has fallen into a cycle of hatred, and it cannot be solved by your own strength!"

I have to admit that what the Nine-Tails said does make sense. As a tailed beast that has lived for such a long time, it has a lot of say in this regard. Naruto pondered for a moment and said, "Indeed, as you said, relying on my own strength is indeed not enough, so I need the help of my companions. I believe that when I have many powerful companions, I will be able to bring peace to the world."

Naruto's words touched Kyuubi's heart. He felt that Naruto was different from anyone he had met before. Kyuubi pretended to be nonchalant and said, "It's up to you. Anyway, things are definitely not that simple." Naruto said, "Anyway, this is the direction I'm working towards. I will never give up my ideals. This is my way of ninja!" Kyuubi seemed to feel that Naruto was a bit stubborn, so he stopped talking.

When Naruto woke up, it was already ten o'clock the next day. After resting for such a long time, Naruto felt refreshed and full of energy. Not only did he have powerful chakra, but his recovery speed was also very good. Naruto walked outside the base and felt his stomach growling with hunger. Hinata Jianke said a little embarrassedly: "Sir, we have already had breakfast, and as for lunch, we still need to prepare it. Besides, our cooking skills are really not that good. If you are very hungry, you might as well take the military ration pills first."

Hearing the word "Hyouliang Wan", Naruto shook his head and said, "No, not for now." This is a food that Naruto hates very much. In the entire ninja world, the taste of Hyouliang Wan is not good. At this time, Naruto also noticed that Hinata was not here. It suddenly occurred to him that she was still near Kakashi's base. Yesterday, Naruto left the battlefield because of exhaustion of chakra, and now he didn't know how Kakashi and others were doing.

Thinking of this, Naruto immediately used Flying Thunder God to rush to Kakashi's base. The person who greeted Naruto was still the temporary person in charge. Naruto's heart tightened, worried that something might happen to Kakashi and others. When the ninja saw Naruto, he said directly to Naruto: "You are here to see Kakashi senior. He was injured in the last mission and is resting in the infirmary inside the base." Then he pointed and said: "This is the direction of the infirmary."

Because this base is relatively large, it is equipped with medical ninjas and a simple infirmary, which is considered to be in pretty good condition. Naruto followed the direction and soon found the infirmary. Apart from the corresponding medical equipment, there was almost nothing. Naruto walked in and saw two beds, both of which were occupied. But the first person Naruto noticed was Hinata standing next to the bed. Hinata turned around and looked at the door when she noticed someone coming. Although she was wearing a mask, she recognized Naruto at a glance.

Naruto was relieved when he found Hinata was not injured. Hinata nodded relieved when she saw Naruto. They understood each other very well and knew each other's thoughts with just a glance. When Naruto walked to the bed, he noticed that the two people lying on the bed were Kakashi and Kai. They both looked injured, but fortunately they were not seriously injured.

Kakashi saw Naruto appear, put down the book in his hand and said: "Fortunately you arrived in time that day. Otherwise, facing two jinchūriki, we would not be so simple as getting injured." Compared with Kakashi's brain, Kai was obviously not the same. Seeing Naruto appear, he still talked about youth and waved his fist on the bed from time to time, but the next moment he screamed. Kakashi was a little speechless and said: "Kai, the doctor said not to move around, otherwise you will be disabled." Kai was so scared that he immediately stood still.

Kakashi smiled a little embarrassedly, and then told Naruto about the last mission. It turned out that Kakashi and Kai had a very fierce battle with the three ninjas last time. In the end, although they won with a slight advantage, they were also injured. At this time, Hinata appeared in time and bandaged their wounds. However, Kakashi and Kai still went to support the other ninjas fighting with Iwagakure with injuries.

Fortunately, with the help of Hinata's Byakugan, the two of them quietly approached the enemy from a blind spot and then delivered a fatal blow. In this way, all the people of Konoha finally escaped from danger. As for Kakashi and Kai, they fought with injuries. The injuries that were not particularly serious at first continued to worsen, and finally they could only lie in bed to rest. Kakashi said: "Sweetheart gave us a lot of help this time. Her Byakugan and gentle fist assisted us in dealing with multiple enemies. However, relatively speaking, you single-handedly held back two Jinchūriki, and in the end you were able to escape unscathed. Not to mention sweetheart, even I am far inferior to you."

Naruto said modestly: "No, I just did what I should do. This mission eliminated several Iwagakure. In the end, it was all thanks to everyone." The two exchanged the details of the battle and shared some experiences in the mission. Soon after, Hinata prepared lunch for everyone, and Naruto ate it voraciously.
