Chapter 126: Three Years Later, Naruto Becomes the Playboy of Konoha

Due to the invasion of Konoha Village by Kisame, a member of the Akatsuki Organization, the people of Konoha Village had more trust in Itachi, but it hadn't reached the level of complete trust.

Naruto approached Tsunade and demanded that she assign Itachi some work. "Hokage, Itachi is a powerful fighter. He's no weaker than any Jonin in the village. You should give him some tasks."

"No way!" Tsunade immediately refused.

"Itachi is clearly a talent," Naruto shook his head and said with a sigh, "You're just wasting talent like this."

"I have my own considerations. You're just a Genin. How dare you recommend Itachi as the leader of the Root organization?"

"Hey?" Naruto was quite indignant. "You became the Hokage thanks to me, a Genin."

Shizune, standing nearby, immediately sensed something was wrong and sighed helplessly.

Naruto had visited Tsunade multiple times regarding Itachi. He often quarreled with Tsunade.

However, Tsunade didn't fully trust Itachi yet. She planned to observe him for a while first. Moreover, she definitely wouldn't arrange for Itachi to become the leader of the Root organization.

The position of the Root organization leader is crucial. Tsunade hated the Root organization very much and planned to abolish it completely.

But Tsunade failed to abolish the Root organization because besides the Hokage in Konoha, there were two "Daibutsu", namely Neko Azuma and Homura Mitokado.

Neko Azuma and Homura Mitokado are both high - level officials in Konoha Village. They are disciples of the Second Hokage, Tobirama Senju, and comrades of the Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, and Tanzo Shimura. They could be said to be the two with the longest standing in Konoha Village.

At this time, Tsunade had a terrible headache. Naruto suggested that Itachi become the leader of the Root organization, while Tsunade wanted to abolish it.

Neko Azuma and Homura Mitokado asked Tsunade to rebuild the Root organization but opposed Itachi becoming its leader.

Due to Orochimaru's launch of the "Konoha Destruction Plan", the two senior figures were deeply worried. To better protect Konoha, they supported the rebuilding of the Root organization, but the leader couldn't be from the Uchiha clan.

Tsunade was very helpless at this time. She felt like she was caught in the middle.

Naruto wanted to rebuild the Root organization, and the leader had to be Itachi Uchiha.

Neko Azuma and Homura Mitokado also wanted to rebuild the Root organization, but the leader couldn't be from the Uchiha clan.

Only Tsunade wanted to abolish the Root organization.

In the end, this matter ended unpleasantly, and Tsunade couldn't come up with a better solution.

In the following period, Naruto went on a long - distance trip with Jiraiya for a three - year training session.

During the training, Naruto, of course, took only Hinata with him.

...

Three years later!

Jiraiya, Naruto, and Hinata finished their training and returned to Konoha Village!

Now, Naruto had become tall, handsome, sunny, and charming.

Hinata, walking beside Naruto, has blossomed into a graceful and charming young lady. With long hair, she is no longer the delicate girl she once was.

"Finally back in the village. These three years were so terrible," Naruto's expression suddenly became solemn.

"Naruto - kun, are you still thinking about that nightmare?" Hinata was consoling Naruto.

"That was by no means a nightmare. It was definitely real."

Naruto recalled what had happened in the past three years. Every night, it seemed as if Orochimaru was right beside him.

But neither Hinata nor Jiraiya noticed. Only Naruto had this feeling.

In the past three years, after each day's training and experience - gaining, Naruto would sleep with Hinata. When Naruto lay down and closed his eyes, Orochimaru's face would appear.

One night, while Naruto was sound asleep, Orochimaru inexplicably appeared beside his bed and carefully examined Naruto's body.

As Orochimaru examined him, he said, "This is Naruto's body. It's truly perfect. It's simply the most perfect physical form in the world."

The words from Orochimaru scared Naruto so much that he opened his eyes, only to find that Orochimaru was not there. It seemed like he had just had a nightmare.

Naruto told Jiraiya and others about this, but even Jiraiya didn't believe him.

After the three - year training period ended, Naruto couldn't wait to return to Konoha Village, hoping that Orochimaru would stop haunting him.

Naruto began to wonder if it was the consequence of using the Kotoamatsukami[b]Kotoamatsukami[/b] Genjutsu.

After entering Konoha Village, Naruto couldn't wait to find Itachi and ask him to hand over Shisui's left eye.

In a hurry, Naruto started running. Hinata quickly followed behind.

In the past three years, no matter where Naruto went, Hinata would always follow him. Now, she had become Naruto's tail - follower.

On the way, Naruto bumped into Sasuke first and found that Sasuke had completely changed his appearance.

"What? It's Naruto. Long time no see," Sasuke greeted Naruto actively.

Naruto was stunned for a moment. Sasuke had changed greatly. Sasuke used to be a man of few words and wouldn't greet people when he met them on the street.

Even more incredibly, Sasuke had changed his look. He was wearing a handsome and loose yukata, with his hands full of rings and ear - studs on his ears, and his hair was slicked back.

However, that was not all. What was even more astonishing was that Sasuke was embracing two kunoichi, one in each arm.

"Wow!—" Naruto exclaimed in surprise and started stuttering, "Sa… Sasuke… You…"

At this time, Hinata caught up and trotted to Naruto's side. Sasuke saw her and immediately recognized who she was.

"Humph," Sasuke sneered, "Naruto, you're really nostalgic. Haven't you changed after all these years?"

"What?" Naruto was instantly confused and didn't understand what Sasuke meant for a moment. "What are you talking about? Change what?"

"I followed your advice to revitalize the Uchiha clan and expand the clan," Sasuke said with a somewhat proud smile.

Naruto was completely shocked. He never thought that the joking words he had said years ago would change Sasuke's personality.

Sasuke's great change in personality should be due to Itachi's return, which had completely transformed him.

Moreover, Naruto had cleared Itachi's name, and his way of clearing was quite special. Naruto directly made Tanzo Shimura take all the blame for Itachi's crimes. The Itachi who used to have blood on his hands had now become as pure as a saint.

Sasuke knew that it was Tanzo Shimura who had killed his clan members. Tanzo Shimura had also pretended to be Itachi. All the things he had seen back then were false, staged by Tanzo Shimura for him.

Sasuke suddenly lost his goal to become stronger and no longer wanted to kill Itachi. So, Sasuke found another goal based on what Naruto had once said: to revive the Uchiha clan.

Looking at Sasuke at this moment, a shiver ran down Naruto's spine. Naruto thought to himself, "Damn it! Will Itachi come after me and scold me for leading Sasuke astray?"

Just then, Sakura and Ino suddenly rushed out from somewhere. These two women stared daggers at Sasuke.

Naruto was so shocked that he was instantly turned to stone on the spot.

Sakura roared on the street, "Sasuke, didn't you say you only loved me?"

"Shut up! You're so annoying," Sasuke said bluntly.

Ino put on a piteous expression and said, "Sasuke, you said you'd stay with me for the rest of my life."

"Really? I forgot," Sasuke said with a nonchalant expression.

"..." Naruto quickly took Hinata and left, getting away from this messy situation.
