Chapter 281
When Naruto and his friends returned to Konoha, four days had passed and there were only six days left before the time set for the Tiandi Bridge.
Back to Konoha.
Everything was handled properly. At this moment, Kakashi had health problems due to the use of the Mangekyō Kamui.
He could only rest temporarily.
As for Deidara, he was imprisoned and guarded.
As for the upcoming Tiandi Bridge incident, Tsunade had no intention of stopping it, but chose to send new ninjas to form a four-person team again.
The next morning.
When Naruto and Sakura arrived at the meeting place, they saw two figures suddenly appearing here, one of whom was wearing a Konoha green vest.
Under the forehead protector that covered his face, his dark eyes also looked at the two people in front of him.
He greeted them as soon as he came up.
"I am the captain who will temporarily lead you in place of Kakashi. My name is Yamato."
In addition, another person wore a short-sleeved shirt with his abdomen exposed, a forehead protector and a short sword on his back.
His eyes fell on Naruto, with a lingering smile on his face.
"So you are Naruto? You don't look that good."
Hearing this, Naruto didn't care.
Instead, he felt that the other person's smile was a bit fake.
And Sakura hurried out to smooth things over, "We will be teammates in the future, and we should be more harmonious with each other. You will be disliked by others if you do this..."
But before he finished speaking.
The man continued to say with a smile.
"I like ugly girls like you who feel good about themselves."
The first impression he gave people was that he was venomous.
Sakura almost couldn't hold it in and wanted to go up and punch him.
Yamato on the side also stepped forward and said, "We will all be companions from now on. We can't not get along well. Let's introduce ourselves."
Hearing this, Naruto responded calmly.
"My name is Uzumaki Naruto."
And the angry Sakura on the side also said her name.
"Haruno Sakura."
Seeing that both of them said their names, the young man with a naked belly followed, "Just call me Sai."
"Then if there is no problem, we can set off now." Yamato saw this and didn't waste any words, and directly reminded.
In this regard, several people did not refute.
Everyone immediately chose to leave Konoha and went straight to the Tiandi Bridge of Kusagakure Village.
For several days.
Everyone rushed to the Tiandi Bridge of Kusagakure Village, and there was still one day before the meeting with the spy.
And Naruto and others also used this day to confirm that this was not a trap of the Akatsuki organization until the mission began.
Yamato then summoned the three people and spoke in a deep voice.
"This time the mission is to capture spies and obtain useful intelligence. You stay away and act immediately when you see me give a signal."
"Understood, Captain Yamato."
Naruto also replied.
But Yamato then continued, "Give me one of your Flying Thunder God Kunai. I want to carry it with me so that I can surprise others when necessary."
Naruto did not refuse this.
He took out a three-pronged kunai and handed it to Yamato in front of him.
And what he needed next was to wait.
Sitting in the forest near the Tiandi Bridge, Naruto looked at Sai who suddenly took out a picture book and the strange pictures on the picture book.
Sai also noticed this, and turned around and smiled and replied, "So you like to peek into other people's privacy so much?"
Feeling the other party's venomous tongue, Naruto smiled and asked, "I'm just a little curious, but I'm more curious about why you keep pretending to smile?"
Seeing that he was discovered, Sai explained.
"Did you find out? It's written in the book that laughing can bring people closer together."
Hearing this explanation, Naruto smiled and responded, "What the book says may be true, but when you are happy, the smile from the heart is the most real."
In response to this, Sai fell into a brief contemplation until he put away the picture album in his hand again, thinking about what Naruto had just said.
As for Sakura, she was worried about what Sasuke was like now.
Looking at the current team, Yamato looked at Sai implicitly, after all, the Fifth Hokage had deliberately reminded him before departure.
Always pay attention to Sai.
Just like that, there was no conversation that night.
At noon the next day.
A figure in a black robe appeared on the opposite side of the Tiandi Bridge, slowly walking out of the forest and appearing in everyone's sight.
Until the other party took the lead and walked to the center of the Tiandi Bridge, Yamato, who was disguised as a scorpion in the forest on the other side of the bridge, also slowly walked onto the bridge.
With the opponentThe two met formally.
The other party also took off his hood at this time, revealing the familiar face, which was Kabuto who had met during the Chunin Exam.
After seeing the person coming, he slowly spoke.
"Long time no see, Scorpion-sama."
Yamato responded coldly after hearing this.
"You are not being followed."
Kabuto covered his head and replied.
"No, but I came out with Orochimaru at great risk, so I can't stay here for too long."
Hearing this, Yamato also asked directly, "How do you feel now? I have a few questions to ask you. Where is Orochimaru now?"
Facing the inquiry, Kabuto also responded truthfully.
"In order not to be discovered, I will change my base every few days. In recent days, I have been lurking on the island of the northern lake, but I will leave after three days. In addition, Uchiha Sasuke is also there."
When the two talked.
Naruto, who was hiding near the Tiandi Bridge, suddenly heard Ajuromaru's reminder in his mind, "Orochimaru is here too, just across the bridge."
Hearing this, Naruto couldn't help but look over.
After hearing the news about Sasuke, Sakura beside him couldn't help but want to catch him.
"Why hasn't Captain Yamato taken action yet?"
Sai also spoke at this time.
"It's better to be cautious, but this will also miss the best opportunity to capture the other party."
Regarding the conversation between the two, Naruto on the side directly reminded, "Orochimaru is just across the bridge, you two should be careful later."
Hearing this, Sakura's expression was a little stunned, "Is Orochimaru here too? It seems that Kabuto's undercover has been discovered."
While speaking, he couldn't help but recall the crisis three years ago, as if it was still vivid in his mind.
And Sai squatted in place, his dark eyes made it impossible to tell what he was thinking.
On the Tiandi Bridge.
Kabuto also said at this time, "I can't stay too long, please give me that thing, if I am discovered, I will be killed."
Hearing this, Yamato also knew that he would be exposed soon, and immediately took out the kunai and was about to attack.
But at this moment.
A figure suddenly appeared beside Kabuto, and a thick python quickly coiled around him.
