Chapter 46: Chapter 46
Morning*
Naruto was standing in front of Tsunade, waiting for the mission to be given to them.
Naruto was not alone in the room, with Karin and Kakashi beside him. Tsunade had summoned them all here on a mission.
"I am going to give you a mission that is very important. Sunagakure is currently under attack and they've asked us for help. That's why I want you to set off as a relief team immediately." Tsunade said with a serious expression.
"Do we know who the attackers are?" Kakashi asked.
"Yes, the attackers are both from Akatsuki. One is named Sasori and the other is named Deidara. Their aim is thought to be to capture the Kazekage. I chose Kakashi as the leader of the team." Tsunade said.
The reason why Tsunade chose Karin over Sakura was because of yesterday's match. In the past, Sakura had considered putting her on the team because they were on a team with them. But unfortunately, no matter how strong Sakura got stronger, she was still useless...
That's why Tsunade considered sending Karin instead. After all, she was stronger than Sakura in all areas.
Tsunade took two apprentices three years ago, one was Karin and the other was Sakura. Sakura was quite talented at being a medical-nin, but Karin was born to be a medical-nin. Karin has made great progress in medical jutsu in a short time, and she has also completed the Strength of a Hundred Seal in three years.
"Sigh* Naruto, I have something important to inform you." Tsunade said after sighing.
Naruto began to listen curiously.
"Two years ago, someone you knew fled Konoha. His name is Sasuke Uchiha." Tsunade said.
"Huh? How so? Shouldn't he be locked up in the prison?" Naruto asked in surprise.
"Yes, he was locked in the prison but was later released from there under pressure from the public and the council." Tsunade said.
"Let me guess, then he fled the village. Isn't it?" Naruto said in disbelief. How did he manage to escape from the village again? Canon really could not be changed much? What if Sasuke had died? Or someone as important as him? What would have changed then? Endless possibilities into the unknown. So tempting...
"Yes, I thought I should inform you about this. Also, if you encounter him, he must be brought back dead or alive. That's it for now, you can set off for the mission." Tsunade said.
Team Kakashi nodded in agreement, and they set off for Sunagakure.
They encountered Temari after jumping quickly from branch to branch for a while.
"Temari!" Naruto said as he approached.
Temari looked behind her after she heard someone calling out to her and was surprised to see Konoha ninjas coming towards her.
"What happened?" Temari asked curiously. Something important must have happened since they came in a hurry.
"Suna is under attack! We have to go now!" Naruto said.
"WHaT!?"
***
After a while, Team Kakashi and Temari had finally arrived at Suna.
Currently, Karin was treating Temari's brother, Kankuro. Kankuro was fatally poisoned by his opponent while fighting.
Others were talking about the issue.
According to what they learn, Kazekage Gaara, Akatsuki has been kidnapped and its location is unknown.
"I am a pretty powerful sensor. I will send my clones outside the village so we can find Gaara more easily." Naruto said.
"It makes sense, how many clones can you make?" An old woman standing next to them said. The old woman's name was Chiyo.
"I can do quite a lot, and I think I'll be able to find Gaara in a short time." Naruto said.
After talking for a while, Naruto made a lot of clones and sent them all in different directions.
Karin had also treated Kankuro at that time.
"I removed the poison. After resting for a few days, it will return to its normal state." Karin said.
"Thank you for your help." Temari said gratefully. She knew that the poison was quite deadly, and if it weren't for Karin, Kankuro might even have died.
A few hours later, one of Naruto's clones came across a trace of Gaara's chakra. So they quickly informed the others and set off. Alongside Team Kakashi, the other person accompanying them was Chiyo. Also, Kakashi learned that another team from Konoha was coming for support.
After they had traveled for a while, Itachi Uchiha, one of the Akatsuki members, appeared in front of them.
They quickly took a defensive stance.
"Don't look into their eyes. Otherwise, he will immediately take you under genjutsu." Kakashi said to warn them. Meanwhile, he revealed his sharingan.
"It's been a long time since I fought an Uchiha. We are more than him, we can easily beat him." Chiyo said.
"If we were dealing with a normal Uchiha, it could be as you say. But his sharingan is one of the advanced ones, not the normal ones." Kakashi said.
"He's probably here to slow us down. Because the amount of chakra is much less than before. So he's much weaker than before. We have to beat him and move on quickly." Naruto said.
Kakashi nodded in agreement, thinking, "If he has low chakra, he may not be able to use the Mangakyou Sharingan. Good, this will make our job easier."
"I will use fog jutsu to further reduce his vision, then attack and distract him. Karin, I ask you to help me when I am in danger. You can sense him because you have sensor ability, and you can throw kunai very fast with your power and put him in a difficult situation. Naruto, I want you to finish him in one go when you get the chance." Kakashi said in a low voice.
After everyone nodded, Kakashi used a fog jutsu and a dense fog started to appear around him, restricting their vision.
A short time later, as Kakashi and Karin distracted him, Naruto suddenly appeared above him. Naruto held the Oodama Rasengan towards Itachi.
Itachi was suddenly flying back hard as Oodama Rasengan touched to him.
Itachi's body fell hard to the ground and he could not move again.
