Summoning the shikigami of Konoha

"It's that old woman again, huh"

After hearing Katsuragi's words, Naruto crossed his arms angrily and turned his head away, even ignoring the large bowl of ramen brought by Uncle Ichiraku.

"What's wrong"

Looking at Naruto who was acting like a child making trouble, Katsuragi asked with a smile on his face.

"I asked her to do the mission alone several days ago, but she refused to agree in any case, and she didn't know where she hid the third-generation grandfather, so I couldn't find him anywhere."

Naruto angrily explained to Katsuragi.

"Of course you can't find me."

Gui Mu thought of the third generation who was recuperating, and sighed silently in his heart, and then comforted Naruto and said: "Naruto, don't worry, the village is so lively now, and there are so many foreign ninjas, there may be danger, so don't think about it yet. When the matter of leaving the village stabilizes, I will work with you to find a solution, okay?"

"That's what you said."

Hearing that Katsuragi wanted to help him find a solution, Naruto immediately became happy, then looked at the steaming ramen on the table, pushed it in front of Katsuragi and said, "Here, I'll treat you to ramen."

"Thank you, but I just finished eating, so you should eat it." Katsuragi waved his hand. He had just eaten a lot of barbecue with Hinata and Hanabi, but now he can't eat anything.

"Then I'll treat you to food next time. I'll start first."

Naruto was not polite to Katsuragi, he brought the ramen in front of him again, sniffed and said.

"Eat, eat."

Gui Mu looked at the pile of bowls piled up next to Naruto, and felt a little helpless. He had eaten so many bowls, and it was still the same as the first bowl. It was quite impressive.

Because he wanted to ask Sasuke and Sakura how they were doing, Katsuragi didn't leave. After Naruto finished eating the ramen, he started to go home with him.

"Tell me how Sasuke is doing lately."

On the way, when he heard Katsuragi asking about Sasuke, Naruto curled his lips and said with some displeasure: "I'm still that stinky, I always go to Kakashi-sensei whenever I get a chance, and Kakashi-sensei is also very partial, every time I go to him When I was young, I didn’t even teach me properly.”

Katsuragi smiled and did not take it seriously. Although Naruto did not have Sharingan, Kakashi would never turn a blind eye to Naruto. It can only be said that his fighting method is not suitable for Naruto, and he cannot teach him as wholeheartedly as Sasuke.

"What about Sakura?"

Katsuragi continued to ask. Although Sakura already had the desire to become stronger, Kakashi's fighting style was more unsuitable for her than Naruto.

"Sakura"

Naruto paused for a moment and was silent for a long time before speaking: "Kui Mu, actually I want to say one more thing. Can you also help Sakura think of a solution."

"She worked very hard during this period, even harder than Sasuke and I. I know she felt that she was holding Class 7 back, but there was no such thing."

Looking at the excited Naruto, Gui Mu didn't know what to say. He sighed and replied: "I understand. After all, I am also a member of Team 7. Don't worry, I will definitely find a way."

"Thank you, Katsuragi."

Naruto looked at Gui Mu gratefully, he knew that Gui Mu always kept his word.

"Okay, you're almost home, and I'm going back too."

At a fork in the road, Katsuragi said goodbye to Naruto. Under the bright moonlight, he did not go home directly, but came to the residence of the Uchiha clan.

The cold station was empty, not a single person was around. After the Uchiha clan was exterminated, although a lot of the Uchiha clan's territory was taken back, most of it was still retained. I don't know if it was because Sasuke, the last orphan, was there. .

Of course, Sasuke did not live alone in such a cold station, but in a small house not far from here.

Katsuragi came to Sasuke's house and took a look and found that the lights in the house were not on. As far as he knew, Sasuke did not have the habit of going to rest so early.

Arriving at the training ground of the Uchiha clan, Katsuragi saw a figure there, it was Sasuke. Just when he was about to step forward to say hello, Sasuke's appearance stopped him.

“咒

印”

Katsuragi quickly hid behind a tree and frowned at Sasuke, who had black strange symbols all over his body. He didn't expect that Sasuke could still activate the cursed seal state without Orochimaru's help.

"Who"

Because Katsuragi never thought of hiding his whereabouts at first, Sasuke in the cursed seal state immediately discovered him.

"I"

Looking at Sasuke who was quickly removing the curse seal, Katsuragi walked out of the darkness.

"Cinnamon"

A trace of surprise flashed in Sasuke's eyes, as if he didn't expect it to be Katsuragi, and then he said calmly: "Have you returned from your mission?"

"Well, I just came back today."

Katsuragi walked up to Sasuke and looked at Sasuke carefully. After all, it didn't take long, so Sasuke's appearance didn't change much, but his eyes seemed colder.

"Does Kakashi-sensei know what happened just now?"

Katsuragi suddenly asked. If Kakashi acquiesced to Sasuke's behavior, he couldn't say anything, but he felt that Kakashi was not that kind of person.

Sasuke was silent, and after a while he replied: "I don't know."

Gui Mu looked as if this was indeed the case, and then sighed and said: "This power is not your own, can you really feel safe using it?"

"As long as I can find the truth of the matter, I am willing to pay any price."

Perhaps because of Katsuragi's persuasion, Sasuke is no longer so obsessed with killing Itachi, but he hopes to understand the secret behind all this. He understands that this also requires the support of strength. If he can't even touch Itachi's height, how can he see it? Everything he saw.

"Then have you thought about Naruto, Sakura, and Kakashi-sensei?"

Katsuragi held Sasuke's shoulders, stared at him seriously and asked: "It doesn't matter even if it hurts them?"

Sasuke was silent again. Although he wanted to answer yes, he knew that in his heart he didn't want any of the three of them or Katsuragi to be harmed.

Looking at Sasuke's expression, Katsuragi knew that everything he did was still somewhat useful. At least Sasuke now was not as ruthless as in the original work to abandon everyone and defect.

"I can tell you one thing. My mission out of the village this time is actually to investigate Itachi and his companions."

"what"

Sasuke became excited instantly, grabbed Gui Mu's arm, and asked: "You saw him, where is he?"

"Calm down first."

Gui Mu frowned at Sasuke and said in a deep voice, "I don't know where he is now. This happened many days ago."

Sasuke took a deep breath. Although there was still some anger and confusion in his eyes, he was much better than before. He asked Gui Mu again: "What is your mission?"

"Itachi joined a mysterious organization and had a teammate named Mikigaki Kisame. He is an S-class rebel ninja from Kirigakure. He is very powerful. The two of them appeared in the Land of Fire some time ago because I have the ability to turn smoke. , so the Third Generation sent me to investigate their purpose."

Katsuragi and Sasuke explained the mission. Although it was against the rules of the village, Katsuragi had never been the kind of person who liked to follow rules.

"Then what did you find out about your investigation?"

Sasuke clenched his fists and asked. In fact, he really wanted to see Itachi again and ask him face to face what was going on.

"I'm sorry, they were too powerful and they were discovered just as I found them."

Katsuragi shrugged with a helpless look. In the final analysis, it was not that he was weak, it was just that Itachi and Kisame were very strong. It was not a shame to be discovered by the two at such a close distance.

After Sasuke heard this, a trace of anger flashed in his eyes. Although he didn't say anything, the curse mark on his neck suddenly spread, making Gui Mu, who had been paying attention, still feel very uneasy.

"Sasuke, do you really plan to use the power of this curse seal?"

Katsuragi said again: "Actually, after losing track of the two of them, I went to Orochimaru's base again and met a person who was very similar to the curse mark on his neck."
