I just returned to Konoha and found that all my clan members were gone.

"Meow, Ye Lan, was my intelligence of any help?"

Seeing that Ye Lan had finished the Illusion Body Technique, Naraku ran to his palm and asked for a touch.

"It's OK. It's a rare opportunity for me to meet an old friend."

Ye Lan stroked Naraku's chin, where the fur was the softest. But after just a few strokes, Naraku's hair stood up and he jumped up.

"Did you touch other cats? Why do you feel something different?"

Ye Lan put his hand away awkwardly and said, "You think too much. Apart from you, I have not signed a contract with any cat of the Ninja Cat Clan."

Naraku looked at Ye Lan with some suspicion in his golden pupils. After practicing natural energy, he felt a strange feeling for some reason after touching Ye Lan's hand.

"Okay, if you think too much, you still have to help me keep an eye on Konoha, so go back quickly!"

Ye Lan tightened the Xiao robe that was draped over his body; he felt as if it was about to fall off.

"Then I'm leaving?"

"let's go."

Ye Lan was eager for Naraku to leave. This cat had become more and more clingy since it learned how to use natural energy.

...

"Naruto calm down, have you forgotten what Lady Tsunade said before you set out?"

With the lesson from Ye Lan before, Kakashi took the lead in grabbing Naruto's hand, not wanting him to rush over directly.

"Brother Xie, it seems that the information Ye Lan said is still very accurate?"

Deidara said as he looked at Scorpion beside him.

"Humph, do you think everyone is as unreliable as you?"

Although Sasori was talking to Deidara, his eyes were always fixed on Chiyo opposite him. This old woman was his grandmother, the only relative left in this world.

"Gaara, how long are you going to sleep so leisurely?"

Naruto, who was caught by Kakashi, still didn't believe that Gaara was dead, and roared loudly.

"Brother Scorpion, the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki doesn't look very smart."

Deidara smiled. He didn't see any threat from Naruto at all. Was such a guy worthy of the leader's attack?

"Deidara, don't be careless. Apart from the Nine-Tails, the other party is not an ordinary character."

Not to mention Kakashi, Scorpion knew how difficult his grandmother was.

"It doesn't look like anything special, huh."

"Deidara, collect the One-Tail Jinchuriki. This is also a rare material. Let's prepare to evacuate..."

"Hey, why don't you give it a try? It's rare that the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki is here too?"

After capturing the One-Tail, Deidara became a little inflated. He could capture the One-Tail Jinchuriki right under the nose of a village, let alone here.

"Deidara, don't forget the leader's instructions, our mission is not yet complete!"

Scorpion looked at Deidara with some dissatisfaction. He knew very well what this boy's mentality was, so he directly brought up Pain to dissuade him.

"Didn't the leader say we could give it a try?"

Deidara said nonchalantly, he didn't particularly agree with the organization's ideals or anything like that, he just wanted to prove his art and strength.

"That's why I hate brats the most. Ye Lan is about the same age as you, but he's much more mature than you!"

"I'm so sorry! I'm the one teaming up with Brother Scorpion! I can complete the mission alone!"

When mentioning Ye Lan, Deidara couldn't help but make a few sarcastic remarks, and the two of them actually started arguing for a while.

"You bastards, give Gaara back to me!"

Seeing that the two ignored him, Naruto threw a huge wind shuriken at each other. However, Scorpion didn't even look at it, and was directly knocked away by the tail of the Hirugoku.

"How can one be content without trying this kind of thing?"

Deidara didn't want to pay attention to Scorpion, so he directly made a big white bird out of clay. The big bird swallowed Gaara and wanted to leave first.

In Deidara's opinion, as long as he has Gaara in his hands, Naruto will definitely catch up with him.

What he didn't expect was that Kakashi seized the opportunity when Deidara, who had just sat on the big bird and left Scorpion, was caught by the opportunity.

Another advantage of Shiden over Raikiri is that it does not require any hand seals. While everyone's eyes were still focused on Deidara, a purple lightning shot up into the sky from Kakashi's hand.

Kakashi cut off the wings of the big white bird directly.

Naruto seized the opportunity and caught Gaara directly as he fell from the big bird's belly.

"Are you an idiot? Ye Lan said that Kakashi is a ninja who is good at lightning escape!"

Seeing Deidara retreating in embarrassment, Scorpion couldn't help but say that he didn't take action just now because he wanted to teach Deidara, this undisciplined guy, a lesson.

"Damn it, I hate lightning ninjas."

Deidara didn't expect that his boast would be slapped in the face. He didn't expect that Kakashi also had the ability to attack with lightning from a long distance. This was completely different from the previous rumors about Kakashi.

"Blow up the cave roof and prepare to evacuate. I'll stop them!"

Sasori gave orders to Deidara. In his opinion, Deidara's greatest use was to test the power of the artillery explosion in the R&D room and provide ideas on how to explode. If it weren't for his mobility, he would be of no use in capturing the Jinchūriki.

Having suffered a loss, Deidara said nothing more. In fact, he was already a little tired from the previous fight with Gaara, and the explosive mud was not replenished, so he was a little more sober now.

"Xie, I haven't seen you for more than 20 years. Is this how you want to reminisce with me?"

Naruto's mind is now on Gaara, Kakashi is still on guard, and Chiyo, who had been silent, finally spoke at this time.

"Damn old woman, how come she's still alive after all these years!"

Facing Chiyo, Scorpion rarely regained the emotions that only humans have, and said angrily.

Chiyo didn't seem angry at all, instead she let out a creepy laugh.

"Hehe, how could I die so easily before I even see my dear grandson?"

"Hey, Deidara, aren't you done yet?"

Sasori urged Deidara, he would rather be beaten than face Chiyo.

"Son of White Fang, the scorpion you saw is just his puppet. If you want to defeat him, you must first find his true form."

Although she was a little unhappy with Kakashi, Chiyo had no choice but to cooperate with Kakashi at this time. Sakura was still healing the people in Gai's team, and she didn't expect anything from Naruto.

"Is there a puppet that can do this? Where is its real body?"

This was also the first time that Kakashi learned detailed information about Scorpion. Previous information only said that Scorpion had a human puppet of the Third Kazekage, but he did not expect that his real body had never been seen.

"His real body is inside that puppet. This puppet is called Fei Liu Hu. It not only has all kinds of strange mechanisms but also has excellent defensive capabilities. I saw Xie make it with my own eyes. I can't break it with my current strength. Now I can only rely on you."

Chiyo explained.

"Alright! Then let me pull him out of this turtle shell with my own hands! I want to avenge Gaara!"

Before Kakashi could say anything, Naruto put the dead Gaara aside, stood up and said.

Tears were flowing from the boy's red eyes. At this moment, he no longer talked about understanding others. He was already blinded by hatred.
