Naruto's water escape is the strongest

Yinchao Town is located on the main transportation road in the north of the mainland. Although the town is small, it is very prosperous.

There is an izakaya in the town, which is famous for its excellent wine and food.

Even ninjas - if they are not on a mission - will come in, have a few drinks, have a drink, whisper, or talk loudly, making the izakaya extremely noisy.

New Years just passed.

On this day in late winter, heavy snow fell over the town.

The bad weather makes people yearn for the comfort indoors. Even ninjas in a hurry can't resist the temptation of warmth.

On this day, the izakaya in the town was crowded with guests. The hall was bustling with people and the atmosphere was fiery.

Sitting on the table next to the door were four middle-aged men who looked like cloud ninjas. They were drinking hot drinks comfortably while whispering about the latest developments in the ninja world.

"...Hey, did you hear that? Last month, that 'Akatsuki' took away the tailed beast from the Kingdom of Water!"

The short ninja huddled in his seat like a monkey and whispered.

"Isn't it?" A ninja who was sitting next to him with an average appearance but a long, narrow and ugly scar on his face subconsciously lowered his body and said softly, "Didn't it mean that Konoha also sent people to support him? With the combined strength of the two villages, couldn't they successfully snipe Akatsuki?"

"I know a high-level friend, and he said that the leader of the Akatsuki company personally dispatched that time," the strong man sitting across the table said angrily, "I heard that Konoha also sent their top combat forces to the water. There was a fierce battle with Akatsuki in the sea area of ​​​​the country, and even a tsunami was caused."

After hearing this, the lean man who had been silently eating and drinking finally became interested and raised his head to listen with interest.

The scar-faced man added: "Konoha's top combat power...couldn't it have dragged Jiraiya, the Sannin, away? Tsk, tsk, wouldn't that turn the world upside down?"

The strong man smiled contemptuously: "What does Jiraiya mean? My friend said that the ninjas sent by Konoha are at least ten times stronger than Jiraiya!"

"ten times?"

The three of them looked at the strong ninja, their eyes not only filled with shock, but also mixed with suspicion and contempt.

"It's not ten times, but seven or eight times! At least five times, no less!" The strong ninja laughed dryly, knowing that no one would believe him if he overblown it, so he quickly changed his words.

But after he changed his words like this, the others no longer believed what he said, and started to tease and tease him one after another.

"There is absolutely no chance of 5 times. I know your kid likes to brag!" The lean ninja interjected. He drank the warm wine in the cup, smacked his mouth and squinted his eyes to reflect, while saying, "But it's true that there is a master in Konoha who is stronger than Jiraiya."

"Really?" "Who is it?" "Is it Kakashi?" The three of them immediately came closer.

The lean man poured another glass of wine on his own, sipping it in small sips while looking at the three people who came over with a bit of pride.

After whetting his appetite, he said: "Hey, haven't you all seen it? The Konoha envoy who went to our Cloud Ninja Village not long ago, the disciple of the Fifth Hokage, the very beautiful one! Don't be fooled by that guy's Her appearance and age confuse her, but she is really super strong!”

"Let me think about it...is her name Haruno Sakura?" The scar-faced ninja frowned and thought for a moment, then suddenly realized, "She is only 16 years old, right? She is stronger than the Sannin, are you kidding me!"

The scarred ninja looked unbelieving, but looking around, he saw that the strong man and the monkey-like ninja looked thoughtful, and he couldn't help but be a little surprised: "Hey, you guys don't believe it too, right?" ?”

"The one I just talked about was Haruno Sakura." The strong man said with a serious face, "I swear to Raikage-sama, what I said is true. There is no exaggeration or distortion! My friend said that Haruno Sakura used to be with The Akatsuki people fought several times, and not only did they escape unharmed every time, but they even killed a few of them with their own hands!"

Both Scarface and Monkey looked sideways with expressions of "You're kidding me."

Even if this guy likes to exaggerate, if you squeeze out the water, then Haruno Sakura must have had sex with Akatsuki several times, and at least killed one of the ruthless members!

"How is that possible? A 15-year-old girl...did she inherit some powerful blood inheritance limit?"

"I heard that she is a ninja born as a commoner and has nothing to do with those blood successor families."

The two looked at each other.

The lean man smiled and said: "At first, many people reacted like you, but the fact is the fact. Let me tell you something, I saw it with my own eyes..."

This Kumo ninja was talking about the small conflict that occurred when Haruno Sakura submitted her credentials to Raikage (see Chapter 498 for details).Although there was no real fight, in full view of everyone, Haruno Sakura faced the Hard Steel Raikage without falling into a disadvantage, which is quite telling.

What he saw with his own eyes was naturally more convincing than what he heard from hearsay.

Enjoying everyone's listening eyes, he got excited and broke another piece of information. He said that Haruno Sakura took Yu Gu of the Uchiha family to fight with Akatsuki's people at sea, far away from the shore, and the battle ended. The aftermath actually caused two tsunamis in one day.

This guy is worthy of being a ninja who can witness the Konoha envoy handing over his credentials. His status is much higher than the other three, and the things he gossips about are much more accurate and reliable than that of the burly man.

A Yun nin who was sitting alone at the table next to him heard the lively discussion here and glanced curiously. He happened to meet the eyes of the lean man who was talking incessantly. The latter suddenly stopped talking with a slight smile on his face. Yihong (I don't know if it was caused by drinking) raised his hand and said in salute: "Ah... I have met Master Lintaki!"

Ukon Nakataki has dark skin, a tough face, and carries a long sword on his back. He is a very typical Kumo ninja.As an elite jounin, he can also bear the title of "sir".

"It's Anchor..." Hinataki Ukon frowned slightly, "Have you completed your mission?"

"It's done!" Ancheng responded solemnly, "I'm on my way back. The mountains are closed due to heavy snow, so I came here to take a break."

The cloud ninja Jonin still frowned and scolded: "Go back early when the mission is completed, and don't stay too much outside the village."

"...Yes!" the four of them replied, shrinking their heads.

Lintaki ignored them, cleared the food on the plate in a few moments, stood up and left.

When he walked to Ancheng, he paused, patted the lean man on the shoulder, and whispered: "I have something to tell you four. Don't spread it to people in other villages."

The four of them had stern expressions.

Lintaki seemed to have used some kind of secret magic or illusion when he spoke, and his voice was just low enough that only they could hear clearly. It was completely different from the sneaky whispers of the four people before him.

"According to reliable information, Konoha Jonin Hatake Kakashi is leading a team around here, and seems to be performing some mission. In addition to the copy ninjas, the other ninjas sent by Konoha are also masters. Don't be careless!"

As he spoke, he slowly stretched out his left arm, revealing the wound that was covered with layers of bandages.

"This is the wound left behind when I saw the weakest white-eyed girl alone and wanted to test it out..."
