Chapter 147: Intelligence

[Naruto's Home]

After eating and cleaning everything up, Naruto lay down on the bed early.

His expression was somewhat excited and agitated, because Uzumaki said, today she would take him to see the Nine-Tails.

["All right, don't think about anything, close your eyes."]

Naruto obediently followed the instructions.

———

Afterward, Naruto only felt space and time shift, and he had already arrived in a not-too-bright basement.

Beside him was a vortex like a mass of black shadow.

"Let's go," Uzumaki opened her mouth and said.

Naruto followed Uzumaki while curiously looking around.

But the lighting here was not too good, nothing could be seen clearly.

Uzumaki didn't take Naruto walking for long, accurately speaking, just symbolically walked a section of the road.

A huge cage appeared before his eyes.

Naruto raised his head and looked at the incomparably tall cage door, his eyes full of amazement.

From inside the cage door, a pair of scarlet eyes slowly opened, staring at Naruto and Kushina.

"You really brought him here?", Although it was a rhetorical question, Kurama's tone was flat, seemingly without any emotion.

Kushina was already very satisfied with Kurama's reaction, after all, he didn't tear down her stage.

Kushina said to Naruto, "He is the Nine-Tails."

"Wow… so big!"

Naruto has only let out such an exclamation, and his body disappeared.

Kushina was stunned for a moment, then snorted, "Stingy ghost!"

Then she too disappeared.

Kurama lay down on his own paw.

'How could this old man possibly have heart-to-heart connection with this kind of brat...'

———

Naruto was directly kicked out of the consciousness space by Kurama, he opened his eyes and scratched his head, somewhat puzzled.

'Uzumaki, what happened to me?'

Kushina's voice came, ["Nine-Tails doesn't want to see you, so you can't go over."]

"Oh, I see," Naruto sat on the bed, seeming to be thinking about something.

Kushina had already watched the "future scene" played by Rengoku.

She still cared very much about Naruto's impression of Nine-Tails.

["What are you thinking?"], Seeing Naruto thinking, Kushina also asked.

'Hmm, would Nine-Tails feel very bored staying in my body like this? Before, staying at home for a week already felt very uncomfortable.'

'Since Nine-Tails has been in my body for so many years, wouldn't it be even more uncomfortable?'

Although it was a very simple logic, Naruto said it sincerely.

Kushina smiled and said, ["That's why I let you show him movies."]

Naruto made a sound, 'I thought those movies were what you wanted to watch, Uzumaki, didn't expect they were for Nine-Tails.'

'Then I'll go find some more movies for Nine-Tails tomorrow.'

Kushina curiously asked, ["Why do you want to do this?"]

Naruto replied, 'Since I'm already the Nine-Tails' jinchuriki, Nine-Tails can only come into contact with me.'

'I want to be friends with him, make him not so lonely.'

'A lonely person like that, would be very sad.'

Kushina gently took a breath, ["All right, then go when you come back tomorrow, rest early."]

Saying that, there was no more sound, Naruto knew this meant Uzumaki went to rest.

But he didn't know, Kushina was saddened by his words.

What Naruto said, Kurama naturally could hear.

Although he didn't open his eyes, he still silently let out a breath.

———

In the blink of an eye, it was the next day.

Although Konoha on the surface was calm and peaceful, the incident of Uchiha Rengoku alone, defeating Yugito Nii in one move and capturing her, spread at an astonishing speed.

Rengoku going out alone, the Third Hokage could not possibly not pay attention.

Although there was some delay in time, in the morning, this report was still placed on the desk of the Third Hokage.

"One man."

"Super wide-range Fire Style."

"Only a shadow clone."

"One move, Yugito was captured."

These words just by reading made one's heart jump in fear.

How could Uchiha Rengoku be so strong?

The Third Hokage looked at these reports, eyes full of horror.

Moreover, after Uchiha Rengoku captured Yugito, he did not immediately return to Konoha.

But stayed there with the Kumo nin, seemingly waiting for someone.

The Third Hokage did not expect that the Mangekyo Sharingan's restraint on jinchuriki actually reached such a degree.

This intelligence would soon spread, and on Konoha's side, the Uchiha's prestige would certainly soar.

After all, in the past, Konoha fought with Kumo quite a bit, and every time they clashed with the other's jinchuriki, heavy losses were inevitable.

Uchiha could restrain jinchuriki, Konoha would occupy absolute advantage on the battlefield.

Because the strongest forces of all countries were suppressed by Uchiha.

The Third Hokage suppressed the emotions in his eyes.

"The last time you fought him, was he this strong?", The Third asked aloud.

Sarutobi Ishishu emerged from the shadows, "No, although Uchiha Rengoku was strong, absolutely impossible to capture Yugito in one move."

"Should be that Yugito was not on guard against the Mangekyo Sharingan."

"Even Nine-Tails can be instantly controlled by Mangekyo Sharingan, let alone Two-Tails' jinchuriki."

"How many people needed to besiege and kill?", The Third Hokage inquired.

Sarutobi Ishishu pondered for a while, "Very difficult, we don't have enough experts."

"And there are too many Uchiha, and Nine-Tails' jinchuriki, can't be controlled."

The Third Hokage slowly exhaled a puff of smoke, "I understand."

———

[Land of Rivers]

Because Gaara had slept for a few hours the day before, his mental state had already improved quite a bit.

The advance speed of Sunagakure was nearly doubled.

Finally, in the afternoon, they had crossed the entire Land of Rivers and arrived at the border of the Land of Fire.

Looking at the front gradually being replaced by green, all the eyes of the Sunagakure shinobi revealed a trace of envy.

This kind of green land, was a dream far beyond their reach.

Pakura raised one hand and made a stopping gesture.

Everyone stopped.

"Rest for now, see if Elder Chiyo has any new instructions."

The content of this mission of Pakura's was already somewhat ambiguous, very high in danger.

She didn't dare to let her subordinates be too exhausted, and Chiyo's intelligence system was extremely powerful.

Pakura needed to pay close attention to any changes in the situation.

The communicator bit his finger and directly made seals.

"Summoning Technique!"

After a puff of smoke, a half-meter tall sand lizard appeared, and took out a red scroll from the chest pocket.

"Red?"

Everyone was somewhat shocked, this was the highest level of emergency intelligence.

Pakura quickly opened the scroll.

"Uchiha Rengoku alone intercepted the 500 Kumo nin led by Two-Tails' jinchuriki Yugito."

"Two-Tails' Yugito was captured in one move."

"Mangekyo Sharingan has extreme restraint effect on jinchuriki."

"Uchiha Fugaku left the village."

"Extremely dangerous."

Pakura didn't hesitate at all and directly abandoned the mission, "Retreat!"

Another signal flare exploded above Sunagakure.

More than ten people surrounded the twenty-plus Sunagakure shinobi.

Surrounding more with fewer people wasn't strange, because those who surrounded them, were Uchiha.
