I, Naruto, started out with Hinata feeding me imported candy.

At that moment, Asma saw that help had arrived, and his tense nerves finally relaxed.

As he relaxed, a wave of dizziness washed over him.

His vision went black, and he fainted.

"Kakashi, you keep an eye on Asuma. I'll handle this Akatsuki member!"

Might Guy stared intently at Kakuzu, then spoke to Kakashi.

"Okay, be careful." Kakashi glanced at the unconscious Asuma and nodded in response.

at the same time.

Kakuzu first glanced at Asuma, then looked at Might Guy and Kakashi, his heart filled with anger.

They were almost about to get a kill when Konoha's reinforcements arrived.

Not only that.

Having just been kicked, Kakuzu was extremely wary of the watermelon-headed man in front of him.

His intuition told him.

This person is very strong!!!

however--

Just as he was considering what to do, another unexpected event occurred!

The space behind him began to distort.

Immediately afterwards, a suction force pulled his body.

At the same time, Obito's voice rang out.

"Kakuzu, the plan to capture the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki and rescue Konan has failed!"

"It's not suitable to stay here for long."

"Let's withdraw from the Akatsuki organization first."

Upon hearing this, Kakuzu looked at the unconscious Asuma and a look of resentment appeared on his face.

Before he could answer, his body was sucked directly into the Divine Weaver Space.

The space that had been distorted just moments before quickly returned to calm.

Upon seeing this, both Might Guy and Kakashi's expressions froze.

Especially Kakashi.

When he saw the distorted space again, he couldn't help but think of the Sharingan's eye techniques.

The more I look at it, the more I feel...

This is very similar to Kamui, isn't it?

As he was lost in thought, Matt Kai's voice interrupted his thoughts.

"Kakashi, Asuma has lost too much blood and is seriously injured. We need to get him to the hospital right away!"

"okay!"

Chapter 139 Tragic Asuma! Pain's Decision!

In the blink of an eye, a week has passed since the Akatsuki attacked Konoha.

Because of the devastating damage Pain inflicted on Konoha, the entire village is now engaged in reconstruction.

Everyone is working hard to restore Konoha Village to its former appearance and wants to restore its former prosperity.

In addition to causing extensive damage to Konoha's buildings, the Six Paths of Pain's attack on Konoha also resulted in varying degrees of casualties among the village's ninjas.

Aside from the ninjas who died, Asuma's fate was the most tragic.

When Kakashi and Might Guy brought Asuma to Konoha Hospital, medical staff immediately began treating him.

Fortunately, after tireless treatment, Asma is out of danger.

but--

His ribs were broken, and his arms and legs had varying degrees of bone fractures.

In addition to the broken bones, Asuma's internal organs were also injured in the kunai wound to his abdomen, but fortunately the damage was not too serious.

It's safe to say that he'll be spending the next few years in bed.

Even if he recovers to a near-complete state, he will still have to sit in a wheelchair.

As for Asuma, he fainted on the spot after learning of his tragic end.

at the same time.

When the Akatsuki attacked Konoha, Naruto's monstrous fighting power was witnessed by all the ninjas in Konoha.

Those ninjas would gasp in horror whenever they thought of Naruto defeating Pain so effortlessly.

At that moment, they all gained a new understanding of Naruto.

What everyone previously thought was a bottom-of-the-barrel student is actually a super powerful and incredibly capable person!

In an instant, all the ninjas in Konoha Village lowered their heads in shame.

They realized something profoundly.

I am the real frog in the well!

even--

After this battle, many ninjas couldn't help but show respect in their eyes when they saw Naruto.

Naruto didn't seem to notice the change in the attitude of the Konoha ninjas.

Whether these people change or not, he won't care.

However, he learned a lesson from it.

The entire ninja world believes in one concept.

The stronger a person is, the more respect they will receive!

At the same time, Naruto not only received attention and respect from the other ninjas, but also received special attention from Tsunade.

Tsunade would often go to Naruto for a chat, just to learn more about him.

How could Naruto cruelly refuse Tsunade's offer to chat with him?

One is born, the second is cooked.

The two grew closer and closer, and their conversations became more casual than before.

In particular, Naruto took Tsunade on a tour of the secret base.

Tsunade was immediately captivated by the various things she had never seen or heard of before in the secret base.

Game consoles, children's rocking cars, Transformers figurines, Rubik's Cubes...

The variety of things overwhelmed Tsunade.

however--

While construction was underway in Konoha, the Akatsuki organization was holding a high-level meeting in Amegakure.

At the Xiao organization's base, in a spacious conference hall.

Pain, Obito, Deidara, Sasori, Hidan, Kakuzu, Kisame Hoshigaki, Itachi Uchiha, and Black Zetsu.

The nine members of the Akatsuki organization sat together at an oval table.

The eyes of eight of the members were fixed on their leader, Pain.

Pain looked at the members before him, pondered for a moment, and then said, "You all should understand the theme of this meeting, right?"

"The Nine-Tails Jinchuriki." Everyone answered in unison.

"Hmm." Pain nodded with great satisfaction, but his expression quickly turned serious, no longer as expressionless as before.

“A week ago, I led Obito, Hidan, and Kakuzu to capture the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, but we failed.”

"It seems that our understanding of the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki is still inadequate, otherwise we wouldn't have suffered such a crushing defeat."

"We must seriously reflect on this matter."

Upon hearing this, everyone fell silent.

Apart from Black Zetsu, all of them suffered defeats when carrying out the mission to capture the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki.

Thinking of this, everyone's expression turned grim.

For a moment, the room became exceptionally quiet; you could hear a pin drop!

You can even hear the sound of your own blood flowing through your meridians.

But soon——

This oppressive atmosphere didn't last long before Hidan broke it.

"Leader, although the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki is very powerful, I think if there are more of us, he might not be able to defeat us."

For Hidan.

The scene of being brutally beaten by Naruto is still vivid in my mind.

Although I was wary of their strength, I felt even more hatred towards them!

Thinking about how badly I was beaten up.

If I can't take revenge myself...

Then he would live his entire life in Naruto's shadow!

He was very unwilling to accept it!

When the people present heard Hidan's suggestion, many of them thought it was indeed feasible.

At this moment, Kakuzu stood up and said in a serious tone, "Chief, I agree with Hidan's suggestion. Why don't we launch a full-scale attack on Konoha, capture the Nine-Tails, and also take Asuma's 35 million silver taels of silver?"

Pain's lips twitched slightly as he looked at Kakuzu's serious expression.
