Nagato carrying rice in Konoha

Chapter 125 Induction
And almost at the same time Sasuke walked towards Konoha Village alone.

In the ANBU underground prison in Konoha Village, Naruto was eating rice balls sent by Ino and Haruno Sakura with a look of emotion on his face.

The closed life of imprisonment will make people decadent, especially for a lively and active teenager like Naruto who longs to be recognized by others.

Although he hadn't been imprisoned for long at all, Naruto was already showing a clear tendency to "become a homebody" at this time.

His hair was messy, his face had not been washed at all, and with the six horizontal lines on his cheeks that looked like beards, his whole face looked like a tabby cat.

He grabbed the rice ball with both hands and made a big meal, making a squeaking sound. It looked like he hadn't filled his stomach for a long time, and the rice pellets were scattered everywhere.

"Slow down, slow down, don't people here give you food?"

Ino shouted helplessly while placing the rice balls brought by the cell door on the plate in front of Naruto.

Naruto's mouth bulged, and he made a squeaking sound with rice grains on his face.

He seemed to want to say something, but the food in his mouth made him speechless.

"Actually, I want to eat ramen more!"

After patting his chest and swallowing the rice ball in his mouth, Naruto opened his mouth and said this.

No matter how disgusting Danzo was, he wouldn't starve a jinchūriki like him, but the ANBU's attitude when delivering food was too stiff, like feeding a dog, making it difficult for Naruto to eat happily.

"You're so verbose! It's good to have something to eat, but you're so picky!!" Ino suddenly became furious. Seeing that Naruto dared to dislike the rice balls she made, she wanted to pick up the plate in front of him and throw it at him. head up.

He thought to himself, Naruto is so stupid, no wonder Sakura can't like him.

He actually had the nerve to mention this and that when a girl brought him food. I don't know if he is too crazy or heartless!It's all about focusing on the rhythm of solitary life.

Ino was so angry that his eyes went blank, and he silently equated Naruto and Choji in his heart.

"Really? But I really want to eat ramen."

Naruto's tone was helpless. He grabbed the rice ball with both hands and narrowed his eyes into two "one"s. Apparently he didn't realize there was anything wrong with what he said.

At this moment, he couldn't help but think of the bowl of ramen that the bastard leader of the Akatsuki organization placed in front of him a few days ago. The smell was so rich and it looked so delicious, but it was a pity that he didn't take a bite until the end.

At that time, he kept smelling the noodles hungrily until the bowl of noodles was completely cold and was taken away by the ANBU ninja who woke up.

Don’t even mention the feeling of your most beloved food gradually losing its charm in front of you and then being wasted by others.

While Naruto devoured the rice ball, he made up his mind that even if it was just for that bowl of ramen, he would not let go of that damn bastard with stinky poop and red hair.There is an old hatred between the two people and a new one. He will never let that kind of person go!

If the spirits of Jiraiya and Kakashi knew that their status in Naruto's heart was equal to that of ramen, they would definitely smile with relief.

"Naruto, it must be hard for you to be here, right?"

At this time, Haruno Sakura, who had been watching Naruto eat silently with a dull look in her eyes, asked.

Compared with Naruto's decadent state of mind after being imprisoned, the weak expression of Sakura, a "free" person, worried Ino even more.

After learning about Sasuke, Ino also cried and felt vulnerable, but she knew very well that the hurt she suffered was far less than that of Sakura.

Sakura lost her important teacher, senior sister and master almost in one day, and learned that the person she liked was designated as a traitor by the village.

The most cherished people in life encountered misfortune one after another, and Naruto, the only remaining teammate, was imprisoned as a prisoner by the new Hokage.Such a blow made Sakura feel like a zombie for several days, losing interest in everything.Even if Ino went to comfort her, she remained silent.

The current Sakura makes Ino recall from time to time how Sakura looked like in her childhood. She was so fragile that she might secretly cry alone at any time, and she had low self-esteem and always covered her forehead with long bangs, trying to hide herself. children.

Ino sighed in her heart and couldn't help but reach out and hold Sakura's hand, squeezing it hard, hoping to comfort her childhood friend in this way.

Naruto was slightly stunned when he saw Sakura's expression, and the voice that told him to run when he was beaten by Konoha villagers on the street sounded again in his mind.

At that time, he thought that the voice was shouted by Sakura, but now it seemed that was not the case. The Sakura in front of him should no longer be able to make such a voice.

That wasn't Sakura's voice.

"It's okay! In fact, I have been practicing. None of this is a problem for me!"

After being stunned for a moment, Naruto hurriedly spoke loudly in a comforting tone.

As if afraid that Sakura would not believe him, he immediately sat cross-legged on the ground, absorbing the natural energy.

"Look! I can practice Immortal Mode here. Although I don't know if it's true, I feel that the time it takes me to enter Immortal Mode is shorter than before."

For the active Naruto, the life of imprisonment was originally more difficult than torture, but after experiencing the "immobility" practice in the sage mode, his tolerance for this restrained state has become much stronger.

"Yes, Naruto, you are very strong!" Sakura smiled slightly, "Thank you, Naruto, for staying optimistic under such circumstances."

Although she was trying hard to smile at this time, her slightly drooped eyes still revealed her inner sadness.

This kind of sad smile was something Naruto had never seen before, and it also made him feel an unprecedented anger.

Because, he felt that all this was caused by that damn guy, the leader of the Akatsuki organization!Everything is because of him!I can never let that kind of person go!
Naruto sat on the ground and gritted his teeth. He was about to say something, but at this moment, eye shadow appeared on the sides of the corners of his eyes, indicating that he had entered the sage mode.

His eyes widened, and an extremely surprised expression suddenly appeared on his face.

"What's wrong with you Naruto?"

"Did something happen?!"

Ino and Haruno Sakura couldn't help but ask after noticing the change in expression on Naruto's face.

The former had doubts in his eyes, while the latter's face turned cold, as if he had thought of something.Because she knew that Naruto's sage mode had the ability to perceive.

Naruto ignored the questions of the two people in front of him. He felt carefully, for fear of making a mistake.

Then he stood up from the ground, opened his eyes wide, and said in an unbelievable tone: "Sasuke is back...I feel his chakra..."

When Ino and Haruno Sakura heard this, they felt as if they were struck by lightning, and their eyes widened in unison.

At the same time, outside Konoha Village, the two Konoha ninjas who were responsible for guarding the gate also saw Sasuke, wearing a red cloud and black robe, walking alone.
