Chapter 369 Someone Will Love YouSupport me at Pat reon remove the * ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Naruto wasn’t thinking too far ahead. Though the mission in Amegakure was finished, the trouble with the Akatsuki hadn’t been fully resolved. But he wasn’t too concerned and just adopted a wait-and-see attitude, waiting to see how things would develop. It doesn't matter, as someone else would step in. "I have something nice for you." At some point, while sitting on the couch, Naruto suddenly said to the girl in his arms, "I think it’ll be useful to you." "What is it?" "The Chakra rod left by Uchiha Madara, the man was on par with Senju Hashirama." Naruto casually pulled out a black metal rod from his seal space. "A… Rod?" Searᴄh the Nôvel(F)ire.ηet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. "I'm not exactly sure, but it’s great for stabbing people. Even gods would have a hard time standing after getting impaled by one." Naruto had picked up quite a few things while scavenging after Nagato's defeat and generously handed four rods to Tayuya. "You’ll probably find them useful. After all, this was something used by people at that level. Try to figure it out. You should always have a trick or two up your sleeve. It’s dangerous to be out there without a backup plan." Naruto felt that four Chakra rods are just right, as if one broke, there’d be a spare. Tayuya had always used her flute as her primary weapon, but her methods were becoming somewhat predictable. Unless she is in danger, she basically won't use her Cursed Seal. But with this Chakra rod, she could probably take on two Jonin. She could get close to about 0.8 Kakashi in strength, and with some effort, maybe even hit 1 Kakashi. "Okay." Tayuya responded dumbly. She knew Naruto was doing this for her own good. Mustering some courage, she gave him a quick kiss, only to be immediately pinned back into the couch. The curtains were drawn, and the flickering light from the TV barely illuminated a corner of the living room. Tayuya felt as though her heart was being pulled by a string, swaying up and down like the ebb and flow of tides. She wrapped her arms around Naruto's neck and asked somewhat weakly, "Can I ask you something?" Naruto’s hand rested on her waist, casually brushing it. He looked thin, with a tight and strong body. He had a lean yet muscular frame, and his composed yet practiced demeanor carried an inexplicable sense of forbidden allure. "Go ahead." "Do you have anyone else you like?" "I do." He didn't hide it and was rather straightforward. "Why?" "Nothing, I just wanted to know." Tayuya slowly climbed onto him, rustled onto his shoulders, and whispered warmly in his ear, "I never thought about it before, but from now on, I hope someone will love you, even if I’m not around." The living room fell silent. Naruto’s heart skipped a beat, as many people had said similar things to him before. He didn’t have a clear answer. His throat felt tight, and he suddenly wanted to drink some water. Glancing around the dim room, he couldn’t find a water cup. Tanzaku Town was lively yet small, and its bustling atmosphere seemed to calm the restlessness in his heart. Not long after the New Year’s Festival ended, Naruto left. Upon returning to the village, the first thing he did was report to Tsunade. In the office on the fifth floor of the Hokage Tower. Tsunade, looking rather laid-back in a semi-retired manner, lounged in a corner. Meanwhile, Kakashi, who had not been seen for a long time, was sitting in the Hokage’s seat and was working so hard that he practically left afterimages, startling Naruto so much that his mouth formed an ‘O’ shape. "Kakashi-sensei, when did you become the Rokudaime Hokage? Did Danzo not have any objections?" "Just an internship in processing official documents." Kakashi replied, sounding a bit fatigued. Clearly, the overtime was getting to him. He noticed that Naruto had something on his mind and pointed to the corner of the room. "Godaime-sama is there, I am only responsible for official documents." "Oh~, Kakashi-sensei, ah, no, Rokudaime-sama, keep it up." Naruto made a cheering gesture and quickly ran off. Kakashi was left feeling exasperated and thought, ‘What do you mean 'keep it up'? Does it look like I’m doing this voluntarily?’ It was all because Konoha had fought so fiercely during the Third Shinobi World War, engaging in battles with several major nations in a row, so in the end, Konoha had exhausted nearly all its resources. The talented Shinobi died or defected one by one, and among those who survived the battlefield, there weren’t many Elite Jonin still active in Konoha. As for why he was targeted and ended up being groomed as the future Rokudaime Hokage? It can only be said that there was no one else. Kakashi sighed. For a moment, he really regretted not dying on the battlefield. If he could have died before Rin, maybe he wouldn't be stuck in this life now. ‘Hmm… I really want to put down these documents and read a few chapters of Icha Icha Paradise. Speaking of which, hasn't Jiraiya-sama released a sequel yet? He clearly said that it would be released after the New Year.’ ‘Forget it, I'll go to the bookstore after finishing the work.’ As the future Rokudaime Hokage, Kakashi seemed to have no real worries, and his mind was already wandering off. … It had been a while since Naruto last saw Tsunade. Naruto didn't call out to her, but poinstead, he quietly poured her a cup of tea to gauge her mood. Tsunade seemed to be in a good mood, grinning while holding a manga. ‘You her age, still reading manga... Wait, what the...?!’ Naruto caught a glimpse of the content and quickly averted his eyes, fearing that Tsunade would notice he’d seen her little secret. After pouring the tea, he cleared his throat. Tsunade noticed his presence and calmly slid a manga from behind her into her lap without missing a beat, while the manga she read was put behind her. "When did you get back?" She asked, coughing lightly to cover her embarrassment. "Just now." Naruto had come to inform Tsunade about the Akatsuki's activities. Jiraiya had probably sent back some information, but Naruto doubted it was detailed. After all, Jiraiya preferred to keep things simple and direct. He didn’t like to waste time on writing long-winded intelligence reports. After all, complicated information is not suitable for quick and secure communication. "Did you receive anything from Pervy Sage? I worked with him on the mission in Amegakure, and I'd like to give a more detailed report." Naruto got straight to the point. "Yeah, we received something, but you'll have to wait a bit." Tsunade tossed the manga onto her desk and casually retrieved the 18+ manga she'd hidden earlier, tossing it into a nearby drawer. "Go talk to Shizune. She’s in charge of taking down the details." Tsunade said as she stood up. "Got it." … Naruto gave a thorough debrief to Shizune, going over every detail he could think of, much like providing a testimony. He told almost every detail he could think of. Nagato’s defection had changed the trajectory of some things, but the world keeps spinning and will never stop because of these little things. Sasuke is still walking steadily on his path to hunt down his brother. At the southern and northern bases, he gathered the members of Taka. However, in his itinerary, there was now a new objective: kill ???. That ??? was none other than the person going around using Sasuke’s name to set fires and wreak havoc, so his hunting index was second only to the one who killed his entire clan, Uchiha Itachi. Meanwhile, Obito and Black Zetsu were racking their brains over how to retrieve the Rinnegan. Nagato's sudden defection had caught them off guard, but with their current personas within the Akatsuki, it was difficult for them to rally the scattered members back together. Even Danzo was growing more and more restless, with Root attempting to rise from beneath the surface.
