Konoha: Naruto Returns from Sekiro

Namikaze mansion.

Living alone, the seemingly deserted courtyard became lively because of a banquet.

"welcome!"

Nara Shikamaru reached out to signal the guests to enter.

Since Naruto didn't have any decent relatives, the Jōnin promotion banquet was organized by the two of them.

"Sit here!" The shadow avatar Liuming went to Shiming to help receive the guests.

Eleven to Twenty Ming is in charge of the dishes for tonight's banquet.

Twenty-one arrives...

I have to say that Shadow Clone is really a powerful ninjutsu.

The second Hokage Senju Tobirama who invented it is truly a genius.

Naruto thought to himself.

Some of the guests he had never even met before, although they were invited by Nara Shikaku and Shiranui Genma after discussions with him.

He doesn't know it, but the people who support him know it, so it's equivalent to him knowing it.

The establishment of a network of contacts is actually very simple after reaching a certain height.

Today's banquet is not so much his promotion banquet as it is about Nara Shikaku and others helping him in the upcoming preliminary selection for the Sixth Hokage candidate - to attract people!

Ridiculous, but realistic.

"Congratulations!"

One after another, young ninjas of his generation began to arrive at the banquet.

"You look a bit haggard." Naruto looked him up and down, "Is it because of the matter in Yanyin Village?"

Uchiha Sasuke nodded slightly. In the past month, in order to let the Gokages feel that the existence of the ninja team is meaningful, he took Didara and others to search for traces of the existence of Akatsuki in the ninja world.

There are many small gains, but no big achievements.

Many strongholds of the Akatsuki organization were destroyed, but none of the core members of the Akatsuki organization were seen.

According to their speculation, the Akatsuki organization should be extracting the chakras of the tailed beasts during this time.

Although it is not clear how long it takes for the outsider golem to extract the chakra of a tailed beast, but the chakra of three, four, five, and six tails, a total of four tailed beasts, will definitely consume no less.

"Don't think about what you have and what you don't have today, and have a good rest."

Let the shadow clone take Sasuke into the banquet venue.

"Perhaps your subordinates have already told you, but I think it is still necessary to tell you that Nanao is about to be resurrected."

Naruto nodded slightly.

A year ago, after Nanao was refined by Otsutsu Mokura's elixir, she immediately lost her vital signs and entered a revived state.

Calculating the time, he will be resurrected in the next few days.

"There are only three tailed beasts away from the resurrection of the ten tails. What are you waiting for?" Sasuke's voice was very small. If Naruto's body had not undergone an evolution two days ago, he might not have been able to hear it clearly. .

At this moment, a group of 'Byakugan' people in white kimonos, led by Hinata Hiashi, walked up to him.

"Naruto-kun, congratulations!" Hinata's long hair rested lightly on her shoulders, her hands crossed in front of her body, and she bowed slightly.

Naruto returned the salute and turned sideways, "Welcome everyone."

If the ninja just now was the influence of Nara Shikaku and others, then what will arrive from now on is his own 'influence'.

The Hyuga clan, my parents' old clan, the 'friends' I met during this mission, and...

"Naruto, congratulations!"

Led by Ino, who was wearing a green tights, all his friends from school were present.

"I'm glad you're here." Naruto smiled.

"As you said, the Namikaze Jonin family has a great cause, so why would they still suggest that a few of us eat and drink together?" Ino chuckled.

"Today, there is unlimited supply of food, drinks, and supplies."

Naruto waved his hand and said proudly.

"Is there barbecue?" Akimichi Choci scratched his head and smiled.

"some."

Inside the mansion.

The jounin discussed quietly.

"The current younger generation is really exaggerating one by one. Last time it was Sasuke Uchiha, and now it is Uzumaki... Naruto Namikaze."

"The waves behind push the waves ahead, and we will eventually become the ones who are beaten to death on the sugar." There are also those who hold an optimistic attitude, "Moreover, apart from these two, there should be no one else who can host a promotion banquet of this size. "

"That's right, their current strength has long since gotten rid of the framework of Ninja Village..."

"The Fifth Generation is here!" "Huh? Two advisors are here too?!"

To be honest, it wasn't just them who were surprised, even Naruto himself didn't expect that these two people would come.

Needless to say, everyone present knew how delicate the relationship between the two parties was.

It's unreasonable that the two consultants themselves don't know.

"Welcome!" Naruto invited the two of them in. It's one thing to be suspicious, but the other party has come to the door, so we can't drive them away, right?

As the saying goes, if you stretch out your hand, you won't hit the smiling face.

With the entrance of several people, the banquet officially began.

……

at the same time.

The country of thunder, Yunyin Village.

The shadow clone Yiming stood on the top of a peak, looking at Yunyin Village in the distance, surrounded by mountains and shrouded in clouds and mist.

Swish!

The 'puppet' Otsutsu Mokura appeared beside him.

"I'm curious, how did you know I'm here?" Shadow Clone Yiming asked sideways.

"Just make a simple hypothesis: If Cloud Hidden Village is invaded on a large scale by the Akatsuki organization, where will I watch the battle?"

Sasuke Uchiha, who was far away in Konoha, manipulated the corpse of Otsuki Mokura through the march of the dead.

Because of the particularity of the Otsutsuki clan, the kaleidoscope's pupil technique cannot be manipulated together with its soul, but Sasuke obviously will not give up such a powerful combat power.

Ever since, it was used as a second stand-in.

"Are you so sure that I will definitely come to watch the battle?" asked the shadow clone Yiming.

"The current situation is your indulgence. If you don't come, the dog won't believe it." The 'puppet' Otsutsu Mokura said lightly.

"You said, if it is known, the captain of the ninja team not only did not warn that Yunyin Village was about to be invaded, but chose to watch the battle from the wall, who is the indulgent one?"

Looking at Yunyin Village, where exploding lights began to appear, the shadow clone Yiming asked curiously.

"Sasuke Uchiha is not in the Land of Thunder. Many people have seen him. He went to attend the Jonin promotion banquet of his 'friend' Naruto Namikaze."

‘Puppet’ Otsutsuki Ura Shiki remained unmoved.

"Compared to this, I'm more curious. The reason why you chose to hold the banquet at this time is because you have estimated the time when the Xiao organization will extract the tailed beast chakra?"

"How come, everything is just a coincidence." The shadow clone denied it.

'Puppet' Otsutsu Mokura naturally doesn't believe it, the coincidence of shit, whose coincidence can happen in a series?

"What is your purpose in disrupting the situation in the ninja world? To earn reputation and become Hokage?" He asked again.

"It's roughly consistent with your thoughts." The shadow clone Yiming crossed his arms and retracted his peripheral vision, "Let's change the topic."

"How long do you think Yunyin Village can survive under the attack of all members of the Akatsuki organization?"

While the two were talking, a huge water circle suddenly appeared above Yunyin Village.

Roar!

A series of ferocious roars rang out, and the heretic Nagato psychically produced the heretic golems, several giant psychic beasts.

"The fourth generation of Raikage allows Kirabi to appear on the battlefield, which is when the battle is over."
