Chapter 29 : The HEAVEN Organization

---

Naruto nodded.

Akatsuki was still a professional organization. After all, capturing targets wasn't something new for them.

They had already hunted down six or seven Tailed Beasts successfully.

Capturing one Jōnin, Mitarashi Anko, was nothing in comparison.

If Naruto hadn't insisted on keeping her alive, Nagato would have ended the battle in a second—just as he did when capturing Jinchūriki.

The chameleon slithered up to Naruto and spat out Mitarashi Anko. At this moment, she was unconscious, drenched in saliva, and completely drained of chakra.

The Preta Path climbed off her body—he had absorbed almost all of her chakra, leaving behind just enough to keep her alive.

Naruto glanced at Konan and sighed apologetically. "Nee-san, sorry about this."

Konan understood immediately. Without a word, she separated into countless paper sheets, wrapping Anko securely and taking her away.

Meanwhile, Captain Yamato and Sai…

They had recovered from the previous encounter and were pursuing again.

Nagato frowned, sensing their approach.

Naruto raised his hand. "I'll handle this. Sooner or later, they'll know anyway."

By the time Sai's Super Beast Scroll creations and Yamato's Wood Style tendrils reached them, Naruto was already in action.

A Shadow Clone formed instantly—two Rasengan materializing in each of its hands!

Boom!

Wood fragments and ink splattered everywhere, spinning violently through the air.

Yamato's eyes widened in shock. Sai's expression was filled with disbelief.

"Naruto?!"

Sai clenched his fists. "Why is he here?!"

As the dust settled, Naruto stood across from them, wearing the Akatsuki cloak.

Captain Yamato, still reeling from the impact, scrutinized Naruto carefully.

After confirming his chakra signature multiple times, he frowned deeply.

"Naruto! You… you've joined the Akatsuki?!"

Naruto shook his head.

Captain Yamato exhaled in relief. "I knew it… there's no way Naruto would betray Konoha."

Naruto smirked and corrected him.

"No, Captain Yamato. I didn't join Akatsuki. I created my own organization—Tenkū (Heaven Organization). And I'm its sole founder."

Captain Yamato's relief vanished instantly.

Sai's expression darkened. "Naruto-kun… didn't you always want to become Hokage? Why are you betraying Konoha?"

Naruto groaned, massaging his temples. "For the love of—! When did I ever say I was betraying Konoha?!"

Sai gestured toward Naruto's attire. "Your current appearance and actions suggest otherwise."

Naruto sighed dramatically. "It's called the Tenkū Organization! Not Akatsuki! How many times do I have to repeat myself?!"

Captain Yamato, still struggling to process the situation, asked urgently: "Naruto, tell me the truth… are you under Genjutsu?"

His voice carried genuine concern.

He had spent enough time with Naruto to know that betrayal wasn't in his nature.

Hell, if anyone claimed Naruto had turned against Konoha, Yamato would call them insane.

Naruto's will to become Hokage was unshakable.

But now?

Seeing him in Akatsuki robes—Yamato was more shaken than when he faced Orochimaru.

His first conclusion? Naruto had been brainwashed.

Naruto shook his head firmly.

"Captain Yamato, let me explain—I'm not under Genjutsu. I haven't joined Akatsuki. My organization is called Tenkū.

When you report back, don't lump us in with Akatsuki. Get it?"

Yamato still looked doubtful.

Naruto continued. "And those Pains you see? I recruited them successfully. They belong to Tenkū now. Stop calling them Akatsuki members."

Sai, staring at Naruto as if he were a complete stranger, finally asked: "Naruto-kun… what exactly is the Tenkū Organization?"

Naruto turned to him, smiling.

"Tenkū is an organization dedicated to protecting the future of the ninja world. If you're interested, Sai, you're welcome to join."

Captain Yamato immediately shouted. "Sai!"

Sai gave an apologetic look. "I was just asking, Captain Yamato."

Yamato sighed. He understood—Sai had been raised in Root. His loyalty was to Danzo first, so his reactions were different from a regular Konoha shinobi.

Taking a deep breath, Yamato hardened his gaze.

"Naruto, I don't care what your reasons are. Release Captain Anko immediately. If you don't… I'll make sure Konoha hunts you down."

Naruto chuckled. "Relax, Captain. I'll personally return Anko-senpai once I'm done. I just need her help with something."

Yamato's expression was grim. "Naruto, you're playing a dangerous game."

Naruto smiled. "You worry too much. Everything will make sense soon. Just trust me, okay?"

Then, with a wave of his hand, he signaled to Konan.

She nodded, taking Anko with her.

Nagato controlled the giant bird, and they took off.

Naruto glanced back one last time.

"Sai, Captain Yamato… see you later."

And in a flash of golden light, he teleported onto the bird.

Back on the Ground

Sai watched the skies, his brow furrowing.

"Should I send ink beasts to track them?"

Yamato gritted his teeth, then shook his head.

"No."

Sai looked at him questioningly.

Yamato clenched his fists. "It's clear they didn't kill us because of Naruto.

If he wasn't there… with that lineup, we'd be dead already."

Six Paths of Pain.

A force strong enough to hunt Tailed Beasts.

But instead of outright slaughtering them, the enemy had only targeted Anko and blocked their attacks.

It was clear that Naruto was the reason they were still breathing.

Yamato sighed. "This is too complicated. We have no choice but to return to Konoha… and report to Lady Tsunade."
