Chapter 150: Chapter 149: The Return
Early in the morning, the first rays of sunlight shone on the earth, as if gilding the rooftops of Konoha Village. On the streets, a few scattered people were yawning, getting ready for a busy day.
The guards at the Konoha Village gate stretched lazily. They hadn't had a good sleep throughout the night shift. After the shift change, they could finally go back to rest.
"Izumo, you must have slacked off last night. Otherwise, why are you still so energetic?"
"Don't compare me with you. While you were snoring away, I kept my eyes on the gate all the time."
Izumo brushed off his friend's finger that was pointing at him disgustedly. This guy drooled and talked in his sleep during the night shift, and he still had the nerve to say something about him. It was really annoying.
The two of them tidied up their loose clothes and were about to go home for a good sleep. Suddenly, a swift figure flashed before their eyes. Without registering, the figure burst into the village without permission.
Seeing this, the two frowned, feeling that something fishy was going on, and immediately chased after it.
"Hey! Stop there! Hurry up and stop. This is Konoha. It's illegal for you to enter the village without permission."
The swift figure ignored their shouts and suddenly accelerated. Then it turned around and provocatively looked at them.
The figure was just in the direction where the sun was rising. The morning sunlight was so bright that it was hard to open their eyes. The two squinted and covered their eyes with their hands. They could only vaguely make out a human silhouette.
"Izumo, this guy is provoking us!"
Seeing that the rival was taking it easy, neither attacking nor leaving them far behind, they immediately realized that this guy was just playing with them.
"Damn it. No matter what your purpose is, you have to stay today. Water Release: Water Sticky Syrup Technique."
Izumo formed hand seals, and a large pool of transparent liquid rushed towards the mysterious figure. The man felt this strange liquid was coming and accidentally stepped into it. Then he found that his feet were stuck like glue and couldn't move at all.
"So that's how it is."
"Damn it. Let's see where you can run this time!"
Looking at the figure fixed in front of them, the two of them smiled faintly. Wasn't this guy so arrogant? When the Konoha Police Force came to arrest him, they'd see if he dared to be so arrogant.
After struggling a few times, the mysterious man found that his feet were stuck more and more tightly, so he quickly gave up.
"Earth Release: Earth-Style Wall"
As the mysterious man formed hand seals, the ground shook. The ground on the horizon suddenly rose. A huge pulling force tore the strange liquid on his feet apart. Izumo and his friend couldn't stand steadily and sat on the ground staggeringly.
Taking this opportunity, the mysterious man turned around, let out a silly laugh, and then ran away without looking back.
"Damn it. Who the hell is he and what does he want to do in Konoha? He's just playing with us like monkeys."
Izumo dug his fingers tightly into the ground, looking really pissed off at the disappearing figure.
"What should we do now?"
Izumo's expression turned solemn. He knew that the two of them were no match for the mysterious man. It wasn't the time to be a hero.
"Immediately inform the Police Department for support!"
"Okay, I'll go right away."

The fully recovered Itachi Uchiha followed Shisui to the crime scene. Seeing the two dazed guys, he quickly rushed up to inquire about the situation.
"What on earth happened? Why are you so disheveled? Is the rival very powerful?"
Izumo and his friend looked guilty, lowered their heads, and said helplessly.
"Sorry, we don't know the specific situation either. We were defeated in just one encounter and didn't even see what the guy looked like."
Shisui and Itachi exchanged a glance. It seemed that the situation was not good.
"Where is the guy? Which direction did he flee?"
"That way..."
"What's that..."
It was the highest point in the entire Konoha Village. What was the criminal who broke into the village doing in such a conspicuous place? Being so obvious, wasn't he just waiting to be caught? Could there be some reason?
No matter what the reason was, it was no excuse to cause chaos in the village.
"Let's go!"
They teleported away, making Izumo and his friend on the side extremely envious. Truly, the younger generation is to be feared.
One of them became the second-in-command of the Police Department at a young age, and now there are rumors that he will take over as the head of the Uchiha clan.
The other has been shining brightly in Konoha since he recovered from his terminal illness and is now a confidant of the Fifth Hokage, Tsunade, enjoying great popularity for a while.
Izumo and his friend looked at each other and forced out a helpless smile. They decided to focus on their gate - guarding mission first.
After two years' absence, Naruto stood at the highest point of Konoha, overlooking the whole village and feeling extremely affectionate.
He had finally returned after his training. Although the village had improved a lot, it was still so familiar. Even the guards at the gate still had the habit of dozing off during the night shift.
He had just played a joke on them. Surely they wouldn't be angry.
Standing at the highest point, Naruto was so excited that he couldn't help shouting loudly.
"Konoha, I'm back!"
Just as Naruto was full of enthusiasm, a sharp shuriken flew towards him from afar, scaring him into quickly bending down to avoid it.
"So close!"
If it weren't for his two - year training, there might have been a gash on his body.
Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique
A cold voice rang out. Two huge fireballs came from the left and the right, blocking Naruto's retreat. The scorching temperature made his lips dry and cracked. Naruto unconsciously licked his dry lips and could only jump upwards to avoid the attacks from both sides.
What's going on? He just played a joke on the guards. Why was the Great Fireball Technique used on him?
Did the rules in Konoha become even stricter during his two - year absence?
Fire Release: Flame Bullet
Fire Release: Dragon Fire Technique
Looking at the continuous attacks after barely escaping one, Naruto couldn't help but feel a chill down his spine.
Who is this guy? Attacking one after another without end?
Well, he also had a temper. Take this!
Rasengan
The wind release and the fire vortex collided with each other, and the sky - full of sparks fell from the high place.
Oh no, if this continued, someone would get hurt.
Water Release: Water Formation Wall
A huge water curtain rose from the bottom upwards, extinguishing the tiny sparks in the sky.
Everyone looked up, relieved to have survived. Fortunately, no greater disaster had happened.
"Hey, you guys are going too far! I was just joking with Uncle Izumo. Do you really have to keep using Fire Release on me?"
Hearing this restless voice, Shisui and Itachi looked in the direction of the voice. A familiar yet strange figure stood before them.
It looked quite nostalgic.
