Naruto: Rebirth of the Ninja God

"Thank you, Uzumaki Naruto!" Maki, the village representative, thanked Naruto solemnly.

"Gaara and I are buddies, so why thank me?"Naruto said indifferently.

""Master Kazekage, please enter the village!" Maki, Gaara's former instructor, was extremely respectful at this moment.

The villagers also made way in the middle of the road in an orderly manner, and then quietly saluted Gaara and the others. The sense of ceremony was at its maximum at this moment!

"Let Chiyo go in front, she is the most respectable person!"Gaara gave up the leading position.

The stretcher carrying Chiyo's body slowly walked in front of Gaara.

"Pray for Grandma Chiyo! A moment of silence..."Maki said solemnly.

Then the whole village bowed their heads slightly and began to mourn.

Naruto did not plan to stay here for long, and they went to the Kazekage Building to say goodbye the next morning.

"Are you going back so early, Naruto-kun? You guys have helped the Sand Village so much this time, you should at least stay for two more days so that we can treat you well!" Temari said anxiously

���Although I want to stay for two more days, the situation in the village is not optimistic! I can only come back when I have the chance. Miss Temari, do you want to go to Konoha with us for a few days?"Naruto made an invitation after explaining the situation.

"We also need to report this to the Hokage!" Kakashi added

"Naruto-kun, the Sand Village is short of manpower, so I can't go with you."Temari said to Naruto

"I have already briefly reported the situation to the Hokage, but I did not mention the casualties of the Akatsuki organization."Maki said

"Let's go back and report this in person. Akatsuki has been active recently, so we won't stay here for long!"Kakashi said goodbye.

Then Naruto and his party paid respects to Chiyo's tombstone and then set off back to the village.

Gaara watched them go away from the high wall at the entrance of the village.

Soon after, the news of the Sand Ninja reached Konoha via carrier pigeons.

""Tsunade-sama, the Sand Ninja's Chiyo died in battle, and the Kazekage successfully rescued her. Naruto and the others are on their way back." Shizune reported.

"I understand."Tsunade said a little tiredly.

"Um, is it inappropriate for Jiraiya-sama to put Naruto on the front line against the Akatsuki organization? Obviously, what they want is to capture the Jinchūriki!"Shizune hesitated for a moment but couldn't help asking

"This is the fate of being a Jinchūriki, there is no way to avoid it! Besides, Naruto has incredible potential, we all believe that he can create miracles!"Tsunade said firmly.

At this time in the secret base of the Root, a young man about the same age as Naruto half-knelt in front of Danzo.

"I have made arrangements and will place you in Kakashi's class. Because you are about the same age as Naruto and have an amazing painting heart. From now on, your name is Sai!"Danzo said in a low voice

"Sai..."He raised his head and looked at Danzo, with a smile that seemed extremely happy, but it was too stiff.

"Don't put on that fake smile in front of me!" Danzo shouted

"I'm sorry, because the textbook says that if you want to gain the trust of others, you must first learn to smile! Although I have practiced, I can't control my expression skillfully for the time being!" Sai removed his fake smile and said woodenly.

Danzo no longer dwelled on this issue:"From now on, you will terminate all tasks and bring Uzumaki Naruto to me as soon as possible!"

He couldn't wait any longer. Naruto had been with Jiraiya for three whole years! Now he just wanted to get Naruto in his hands as soon as possible.

Naruto and his party quickly returned to Konoha, because halfway through, Gai and Rock Lee suddenly started a speed contest, and the others had to keep up.

Naruto was very happy about this, so that he could see Hinata earlier.

This time Kakashi did not overuse the Sharingan, so he was in good condition.

The group went directly to the Hokage Building to report the situation to Tsunade.

""Sister Tsunade, this time I directly killed a member of the Akatsuki organization, and also completed the mission of saving the Kazekage! This is enough for promotion to Jonin!" Naruto said impatiently

"Are you so excited just for this? Well, based on your performance in this mission, those stubborn people have no reason to stop you. Tsunade thought for a moment and responded.

"yeah...I know that Sister Tsunade treats me the best!" Naruto said happily

"Lady Tsunade, Orochimaru may not be far from his next reincarnation. I am worried about Sasuke...."Sakura hesitated for a long time but finally brought it up

"I know you're worried, but it's a pity that there has been no news about Orochimaru for a while!"Tsunade said with a headache, she didn't want to give up Sasuke.

At this time, Naruto's alarm clock flashed, and he remembered a message in the original book

"I have information about Orochimaru. Seven days from now at noon, Orochimaru will meet with the undercover agent arranged by Scorpion at the Tiandi Bridge in Kusagakure Village!" Naruto said

"Really?"Sakura's eyes lit up.

"What! How did you get this information? And the time and place are so clear!"Tsunade was surprised

"Scorpion told me so himself!" Naruto swore

"Scorpion said that! Why didn't I hear it?"Sakura looked like you're lying to me.

"Why would I lie to you? You must have been too nervous to hear me."Naruto said

"Six days later, the Heaven and Earth Bridge? What if it's a trap? It's possible that they used Orochimaru as bait and let the Akatsuki people ambush around him!" Tsunade analyzed.

"In that case, let's fight them!" Sakura became fearless immediately when it came to Sasuke.

""Tsunade-sama, why not send another team? This way, Naruto can be prevented from being caught by them!" Shizune immediately suggested upon seeing this. She had always been against Naruto meeting the Akatsuki organization.

"No! The Akatsuki organization has many ninjas. If we send anyone else, they might get killed by mistake!"Naruto immediately objected.

"Sister Tsunade, I have a suggestion! Actually, we could have kept Deidara this time, but I still lack a ninjutsu! If I can learn that, I will be more confident in facing the Akatsuki organization in the future!" Naruto said patiently.

"You kid, you've been waiting for me here, right? What ninjutsu do you want?"Tsunade said with a smile, as if she had finally revealed her fox tail.

"I want the Flying Thunder God Technique! This way, not only will my attack methods be more flexible, but if I lose, I can also run away with my teammates, right?"Naruto continued to induce

"That's a forbidden technique in the Sealed Book, can you just learn it whenever you want?" Tsunade refused immediately.
