Naruto: Sasuke Reborn – No Clan Massacre! No Injustice！

"Boss Sasori, aren't you afraid of getting a good scolding from Pain when we get back?"

Deidara's eyes shifted to Sasori beside him, who was overly calm.

His burly body and the creaking traps. Most importantly, there isn't a single trace of expression on the puppet's face.

"Idiot, do you really think Pain just let them take the Jinchūriki away without doing anything?"

Deidara's eyes suddenly lit up and he looked at Sasori, asking eagerly with a bit of excitement in his eyes.

"Boss Sasori, you mean..."

"The power of the tailed beasts has almost been fully absorbed. The rest can be a reward for them after all the trouble they took to chase us."

"Huh?! Why didn't you tell me such important news? I was like a fool when I was fighting with them just now!"

"If it weren't for your 'emotional performance', we wouldn't have escaped so easily."

"Escape?"

Deidara looked into the distance with a solemn expression. The gentle breeze blew from both sides. He recalled Naruto in [Sage Transformation] and couldn't help but murmur.

"Naruto Uzumaki, I'm really looking forward to our next battle."

............

"Look, Gaara is back."

"Gaara, Gaara!"

"Thank you so much, Gaara."

Surrounded by the crowd, Gaara was like a hero, returning triumphantly. With numerous blessings and thanks, Gaara's heart was gradually warmed.

After all these years, his hard work had been recognized by everyone. He was no longer the brat who was only regarded as a killing tool.

"Go on, what are you standing there stupidly for? Go and accept everyone's blessings."

Naruto gave Gaara a hard push from behind, sending him into the crowd. Flowers, applause, and tears filled his once-broken heart.

His eyes scanned the crowd and met Naruto's warm smile. Naruto raised his right hand and gave Gaara a big thumbs up, then left gracefully.

That guy Gaara is really amazing. He has been recognized by the whole village. Now Gaara is completely the spiritual pillar of the people in Sunagakure. I won't fall behind like this either.

..............

Just as Naruto and his group returned to the village, they saw Shizune running over out of breath and curiously asked.

"Lady Shizune, what's going on? Why are you in such a rush?"

Shizune stopped and, after catching her breath, looked at Sakura with a surprised look.

"Sakura, Naruto, I have good news for you. Not long ago, we received a message from Lord Jiraiya. He found one of Orochimaru's secret hideouts. Lady Tsunade has ordered that you go there for an investigation right away."

"Huh?! Great, Naruto, did you hear..."

Sakura was about to share this joyful feeling with Naruto, but when she turned around, Naruto was already gone.

"Huh? Where has he gone?"

"As soon as he heard that the secret hideout of Orochimaru had been found, he darted off like a blur, as if afraid of being a second late. Well, his eagerness is understandable. After all, the target he's been seeking for years is about to show up. If I were him, I'd probably be just as excited."

Kakashi adjusted the backpack on his back. He had just returned from a mission, and now he had to go on another one right away. He was really busy.

As for Sasuke searching for Orochimaru's secret hideout, Kakashi always thought that Sasuke had his own plan and temporarily left Konoha to join Orochimaru. That brat was too crafty and sly to be easily deceived.

There had been no news from Sasuke for years, but recently, they caught a clue. It was very likely that Sasuke had completed what he needed to do by Orochimaru's side.

Thinking about it, it's not certain who is whose target.

..............

"Granny Tsunade, Perverted Hermit, I heard you've found Orochimaru's secret hideout?"

Naruto rushed over in a mad rush. In just a moment, he reached the Hokage's office. He pushed the door open regardless and asked impatiently.

"Hey, Naruto! It's so rude of you not to knock before you come in!"

Tsunade propped her chin on her hands. Looking at the boy's anxious and eager look, she recalled hearing that he had changed a lot. But now it seemed he hadn't improved at all.

"Granny Tsunade!"

Naruto gave Tsunade a resentful look. Couldn't she stop joking around at a time like this?

"Alright, here's how it happened."

"Perverted Hermit!"

Seeing Naruto's aggrieved eyes, the Perverted Hermit couldn't hold back and spoke first. During the time he traveled with Naruto, whenever the boy heard any news about Orochimaru's secret hideout, he would go nuts.

If they keep teasing him now, it's like throwing fuel on the fire.

"To be precise, it's Orochimaru's subordinate, Kabuto. He has a business deal with Xie. We took this opportunity to infiltrate and let Kabuto lead us to Orochimaru's secret hideout."

Naruto could hardly contain his restless heart. He placed his hand on his heart, as if he could hear it pounding.

After two years, he could finally meet that guy.

After meeting him, he would definitely give that hateful face a good whack.

"When are we leaving?"

"Creak--"

The door of the Hokage's office was pushed open again. Kakashi, Sakura, and Shizune finally showed up.

"You're so slow."

Naruto pouted discontentedly, a bit unhappy. It felt like he was the only one who was nervous about such an important matter.

"You're just too fast, idiot."

"Well, everyone's here now. This mission is assigned to Naruto, Sakura, and two other newbies. Come in."

After two polite knocks on the door, two unfamiliar figures slowly walked in.

"Lady Tsunade, you called us?"

"Let me introduce them. They are Yamato and Sai of the Anbu. I still need Kakashi for another mission, so this time Yamato will lead the team, and you three will act as team members together!"

Everyone was a bit surprised. After all, Sasuke was Kakashi's student. Why was Kakashi sent to another mission and replaced by someone else to lead the team?

"Long time no see, Senior Kakashi. How have you been?"

"Oh, Yamato."

Well, it's not his business to worry about these things. Seeing Naruto with a constipated - like expression on his face, he stepped forward to console him.

"Don't worry, Naruto. Yamato is my standby in the Anbu. He's extremely powerful!"
