Chapter 185 News from the Fire Temple

Chapter 185 News from the Fire Temple
Seeing Sasuke and the others disappear, Naruto also lifted the Woodman Technique. Sakura quickly ran over and said, "Naruto, are you okay?" Naruto smiled and said, "This level of battle is far from enough for me." Sakura nodded and said, "As expected of Naruto, you don't have any injuries at all in such a battle. Sasuke's technique just now was so powerful, I was really worried that you would get hurt, Naruto."

Naruto said, "At this level, it's not a big problem for me. But if it was someone else, I'm afraid Sasuke would have been defeated in less than three techniques." Hearing what Naruto said, Captain Yamato lowered his head, and Sakura and Sai also felt a little ashamed. Indeed, according to Naruto, if it was them, it would be difficult to resist Sasuke's attack.

After they packed up, they returned to Konoha under the leadership of Captain Yamato. Tsunade was also very surprised when she learned about what Naruto and the others had encountered. Especially the appearance of Orochimaru, which was something she had never expected before. However, Sai's matter was also a little bit of a gain. Unlike Naruto and the others, Sai had to report to Danzo as soon as he returned to Konoha.

Sai faced Danzo and reported the basic situation. He then said to Danzo: "Danzo, I hope to continue to stay in Kakashi's team as Sai." This request was really unexpected for Danzo. In his opinion, Sai was an outstanding Root member trained by him and should have no feelings. He knew that Naruto was very powerful, but he didn't expect Sai to be affected, and changed from the bottom of his heart. Faced with Sai's request, Danzo didn't answer for a long time.

After a long while, Danzo finally said, "Sai, feelings are likely to be a burden to a ninja. Have you really thought it through?" Sai didn't say anything, but just lowered his head, with a very clear attitude. Danzo also knew that he had already agreed to let Sai join Kakashi's team, and even if Tsunade wanted to withdraw him now, she would definitely not agree easily. Moreover, a subordinate who had been changed by others would not mean that much to Danzo. Leaning on the crutches in his hand, Danzo turned around and left, leaving Sai alone, which was considered to be agreeing to Sai's request.

Sai's joining can be regarded as adding some fun to the boring life in the past. A person who does not understand emotions at all, suddenly integrated into Konoha's partners, and often made a lot of jokes. However, there are also many crazy places. Sai's heart is actually kind. No matter what happens, he always hopes to do it in a good way. With good strength, he can integrate well among the ninjas of the same period. Slowly, because of Sasuke's success, he basically became a member of Team 7.

Except for Naruto who occasionally had to perform tasks as an Anbu, other people didn't have many tasks. Even Naruto was relatively free. One day, Naruto was practicing at a training ground in Konoha, and a monk came to the Hokage's office. However, this monk didn't come from an ordinary place, but from the Fire Temple in the Land of Fire. He rushed to Konoha with an extremely panicked look, and was taken to the Hokage's office by Konoha's ninja. He brought a message that the Fire Temple was attacked and the spiritual leader, Dilu, was killed in battle!
Hearing this news, Tsunade also knew the seriousness of the problem. Needless to say, the relationship between the Fire Temple and Konoha is natural, and this matter may be related to Akatsuki's search for Jinchūriki. But Tsunade also considered that even a strong person like Jilu was killed. If the strength of the ninjas sent out is too weak, they may only be cannon fodder. Tsunade said to Shizune who was standing aside: "Quickly gather the newly formed team of 20 people. Don't let Akatsuki's people escape from the territory of the Land of Fire." Shizune said, "Yes." and went out to gather people.

Soon, the team of twenty people gathered in a square. Tsunade stood at the top and assigned tasks to them. As usual, Tsunade asked again: "Does anyone have any questions?" Asuma raised his hand. After getting Tsunade's consent, Asuma said: "There is Dilu who originally protected the Twelve Ninjas. How is he?" Tsunade knew the relationship between Asuma and Dilu, and didn't know what to say for a moment. She looked at the monk of the Fire Temple. The monk was still sweating profusely, and he didn't even bother to wipe it off. He said sadly: "Master Dilu was killed by them."

This news was like a bolt from the blue to Asuma. He and Dilu were brothers in life and death, and their friendship was worth their lives. With Dilu's strength, someone actually told him that Dilu was dead. Asuma recalled the scenes of fighting with Dilu in the past. Although ninjas often face such things, he still didn't want to believe such news. He was a little reluctant to accept it and said, "How is it possible that even Dilu was killed?" Shikamaru, who was standing behind him, also felt something. He was smart enough to know Asuma's mood at the moment.

At this time, Tsunade said again: "For the prestige of Konoha and the safety of the Land of Fire, we cannot let those guys do whatever they want." Everyone nodded in agreement. Tsunade continued: "Although we want to find out their purpose, they are all masters and we must not let them escape from the Land of Fire. If we cannot capture them alive, we will execute them on the spot. Disperse" As Tsunade said the last word, everyone quickly dispersed and went to carry out their mission.

Asuma and Shikamaru's team were more anxious than anyone else and were ready to rush to the Fire Temple to investigate. This was unintentionally the place with the highest chance of obtaining intelligence about Akatsuki. Just as they were about to set off, a young man in white stood in front of them. This man was Naruto. Naruto said, "You'd better come here. If you're going to the Fire Temple." Asuma saw Naruto appear at this time, and hurriedly said, "Naruto, we still have a very important task. If there's anything..." While Asuma was speaking, Naruto had already flashed in front of Shikamaru, took out a few things and said, "If you don't have enough chakra, use my specially made Condensing Immortal Seal. If that doesn't work, inject chakra into this seed. I'm afraid this mission..."

Shikamaru has always felt that Naruto is different. Although he has not figured out the situation yet, time is running out. Shikamaru nodded and took the things from Naruto's hand. The two of them quickly rushed to the Fire Temple. Naruto looked at the disappearing backs of the few people and shook his head, "How could you possibly deal with those two people without any information? I hope nothing happens to you."
