Chapter 40: Chapter 40
In the middle of a dense green forest, a dusty path leads straight to Kusagakure.
Along this road, the three people walked steadily, moving forward at a constant pace, towards the destination Tenchi Bridge.
"Shingen, what are you looking at?".
A man with blond hair and blue eyes walked next to a tall man with a sword on his back and asked curiously.
In the last mission, Sasori revealed a message to Sakura before his death, planning to meet the spy they had planted in Orochimaru's camp on the Tenchi Bridge.
Naruto and Sakura anxiously searched for any clues about Sasuke, and though they knew it might be a trap, they wanted to go.
Tsunade had no choice but to send Shingen with them to ensure Naruto's safety.
Kakashi, exhausted from the fierce battle with Deidara, is currently lying in the hospital, and Tsunade temporarily appoints Shingen as the captain, unlike in the original book with Sai.
When Danzo introduced Sai to Tsunade, he hoped that Sai would be able to walk with Naruto and Shingen, the sudden appearance of such a powerful person aroused Danzo's interest.
Tsunade resolutely refused, and no matter what went wrong, she was solely responsible.
"It looks like some kind of powerful ninjutsu."
Sakura, who was walking on the left side of Shingen, put her hands behind his back, bent down slightly, and looked at the scroll in Shingen's hand.
"This is the Flying Raijin Jutsu and the Eight Inner Gates. "
Shingen answered Sakura's question, a hint of fun flashed in his eyes, S-level ninjutsu is indeed not so easy to learn.
When Tsunade asked Shingen to follow Naruto and Sakura, Shingen took the opportunity to propose that he wanted to learn the ninjutsu on the Scroll of Seals, after all, he didn't have a lot of skills.
Shingen was interested in the Flying Raijin Jutsu, which was simply the perfect ninjutsu for someone who didn't want to put in too much effort.
As for the Eight Inner Gates, in the original book, Guy almost killed Madara with the power of the Eight Gates, and Shingen was very curious about the principle of the Eight Inner Gates.
"Flying Raijin, isn't it the move of the fourth Hokage? I heard that it is super difficult to learn. "
A look of surprise flashed in Sakura's green eyes, she had learned about this ninjutsu from Tsunade.
"The fourth Hokage, he must be a genius, and even the Rasengan I use is his skill."
Naruto, who was standing aside, commented.
"Everyone has something they are good at, Naruto, and you should try to find what you're good at. "
Although Naruto may not have inherited the wisdom of Minato, his unpredictability is one of his strengths.
"What am I good at, um~ I really don't understand ...".
Hearing Shingen's words, Naruto pondered his merits, but he didn't find anything worth mentioning other than being able to eat ramen at a very fast pace.
"Sure enough, ...."
Seeing Naruto's confusion, Sakura sighed.
"I have a suggestion, although it's up to you to try it or not".
Seeing Naruto's confusion, Shingen also sighed, forgetting that he was Naruto, but he didn't mind helping Naruto become stronger.
In short, if Naruto becomes stronger, Tsunade will be reassured that he will be able to protect himself and the pressure on his shoulders will be reduced.
"Really, tell me, Shingen!".
Naruto approached excitedly, his face only a few centimeters away from Shingen, his sparkling eyes staring at Shingen.
"First of all, keep at least a meter away from me in the future!".
"Haha!!".
Shingen felt a chill as Naruto was so close, a look of fear appeared on his face, and he immediately remembered Naruto's almost paranoid attachment to Sasuke, and approached Sakura to the left
Sakura laughed when she heard Shingen's words.
"Ah, Sakura-chan, it's not like that, trust me!".
Seeing Shingen looking at him with a strange gaze, Sakura smiled, and Naruto felt that he might have been misunderstood, and hurriedly tried to prove that he was straight.
"Here we are!".
When Naruto assures Sakura, Shingen uses his superior eyesight to discover the bridge.
"Looks like we'll have to wait a while."
Shingen decided to tell Naruto how to become stronger after the mission, and now the mission is the most important.
It is a dense forest with a deep gorge in the middle, on which a bridge is built to facilitate movement between the two banks.
"That's the Tenchi Bridge, we act according to the plan, I'll disguise myself as a Sasori and don't show my face until I give a signal, especially you, Naruto, don't act on your own".
Quietly pushing away the jungle, Shingen turned to Sakura and Naruto beside him, and finally reminded them again, pointing to the bridge.
If the plot develops, what will appear will be Kabuto, and Shingen wants to catch him here and directly stifle future problems.
Orochimaru may also be with Kabuto, he doesn't want Naruto to be furious when he sees Orochimaru, so he reminds Naruto not to act until he gives the order.
"Give me some trust, I won't act before you give me orders!"
Seeing Shingen's uncertain eyes, Naruto was a little hurt, where did the basic trust between people go?
"Sakura, please take care of him!".
Ignoring Naruto's assurances, Shingenturned to Sakura and gave her a trusting look, hoping that the goodness in Naruto's heart would stop him.
"Don't worry, leave this idiot to me, Shingen-kun".
"Okay~ I'm leaving!".
Sakura patted her flat chest and assured Shingen, who nodded, and strode towards the bridge the next moment.
"Transformation Jutsu!".
Poof!
In the process of walking towards the bridge, Shingen made a handprint, so bold directly because he used his Observation Haki and did not perceive anyone nearby.
With the burst of smoke, Shingen turned into a Sasori, he was of short stature, with a hat on his head, and small steps, came to the middle of the bridge.
Shingen waited for about ten minutes, and finally the sound of someone stepping out of the forest sounded.
Whoosh!
"Sasori!".
