What news needs to be spread throughout the entire ninja world?
"The news is that Naruto Uzumaki, the son of the Fourth Hokage, defeated Sasori of the Red Sand, who killed the Third Kazekage."
Kitazawa said slowly.
"what?"
Sarutobi Asuma's eyes widened as he asked, "You're not kidding, are you?"
Sasori of the Red Sand is a prominent figure in the ninja world recently.
As the deputy captain of the secret service, he naturally knew it very well.
The rumors surrounding him are incredibly powerful: a member of the mysterious Akatsuki organization, Chiyo's grandson, the strongest puppeteer, and so on.
But Kitazawa is now telling him that Sasori has been defeated by Naruto Uzumaki, and he can't accept this news all at once.
Naruto Uzumaki, he's only eleven years old!
Is this reasonable?
"Would I joke about something like this?"
Kitazawa countered with a question.
"..."
Sarutobi Asuma twitched the corner of his mouth.
If Naruto Uzumaki can defeat Sasori, then he can also defeat him.
He, the son of the Third Hokage and the vice-captain of the Anbu, couldn't even beat an eleven-year-old kid. Who would believe that?
"I'll make the arrangements right now."
Sarutobi Asuma snapped out of his daze and said.
"Ah."
Kitazawa nodded and said, "If you have any problems, come to me."
Sarutobi Asuma immediately left the office.
In less than an hour, the news spread throughout Konoha Village at an astonishing speed.
The reason it was so fast was not only because the covert operations were highly efficient, but also because the news was extremely explosive.
Generally speaking, the more outrageous the news, the faster it spreads.
This news is so outrageous that anyone who hears it would think it's a fantasy.
Ninja Academy.
During a break, Naruto Uzumaki told the members of the genius team about his battle with Sasori.
That's just his personality; he can't keep things bottled up.
"Can an eleven-year-old control six tails?"
Hiruzen Sarutobi subconsciously tugged at his beard.
Naruto Uzumaki was the third Nine-Tails Jinchuriki.
He knew the previous two Nine-Tails Jinchuriki fairly well, especially the last one, Kushina Uzumaki.
Her performance as a Jinchūriki was nowhere near as good as Naruto's.
"I reckon that among all of us teachers, only you and Kitazawa can beat Naruto."
"This is what Kosuke Maruboshi said with a sigh."
"Naruto's growth rate is just too fast."
Kakashi Hatake really wanted to complain.
He became a Jonin at the age of twelve, largely due to the unique circumstances of war.
But Naruto Uzumaki was different; at the age of eleven, he genuinely defeated Sasori, a Kage-level powerhouse.
No, it wasn't just Sasori, there was also the Third Kazekage.
Naruto Uzumaki essentially fought two opponents and won; it sounds like a dream.
"Naruto's potential will most likely surpass that of the Fourth Hokage."
"This is what Kosuke Maruboshi said firmly."
"He and Minato are two different styles of ninjas."
Hiruzen Sarutobi snapped out of his daze and said, "Judging from the current situation, he will indeed be stronger when he grows up."
"After this battle, Naruto's fame should spread throughout the entire ninja world."
Maruboshi Kosuke said with a smile, "He might just get a title like the Fourth Hokage."
"Then they're in for a lot of trouble. I feel like a lot of students in the gifted class will get a title."
Hiruzen Sarutobi nodded and said.
"good."
Chen Baojun agreed, saying, "They will definitely have them in the future."
Meanwhile, the students in the gifted class were also having a great time.
After all, this incident had a significant impact on them.
Although they already knew that Naruto Uzumaki was very strong, they didn't have a concrete idea of just how strong he was.
It's hard for them to believe that Naruto Uzumaki possesses strength comparable to a Kage-level ninja.
Of course, the one most shocked was Uchiha Sasuke.
Because after he awakened the Mangekyou Sharingan, he felt that he had caught up with Naruto Uzumaki.
His first reaction was, "Why didn't you call me?"
My second reaction was, "Damn it! Naruto Uzumaki beat me to it again!"
Sasuke Uchiha clenched his fists instinctively, feeling an unbearable discomfort.
He would definitely talk to Kitazawa about this next time he saw him.
Now that Naruto Uzumaki has already taken on a solo mission, it's his turn for the next solo mission.
How can you be called an Uchiha if you don't enjoy being the center of attention?
By the afternoon, the news had begun to spread to all the major ninja villages.
After all, Konoha Village has many spies from various other ninja villages.
Although most of them don't have much status, they can find out this kind of information without having to ask around.
Rain Village in the Land of Rain.
After receiving a notification from White Zetsu, Konan arrived at the tower where Pain was located.
"The Nine-Tails Jinchuriki is Naruto Uzumaki."
Pain, the Deva Path, got straight to the point.
"how do you know?"
Xiao Nan's pupils contracted involuntarily, and she asked instinctively.
"Just now, we received news that Scorpion has been captured."
Pain paused for a moment and then said, "It was Kitazawa and Naruto Uzumaki who captured him."
"what?"
Xiao Nan was startled, and a look of surprise appeared on her face.
"Although Kitazawa arrived, he didn't make a move. It was Naruto Uzumaki who defeated Sasori using his half-tailed beast transformation."
Pain continued.
Konan immediately understood why he knew that Naruto Uzumaki was the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki.
"Now that we know Naruto Uzumaki is the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, you shouldn't go back to Konoha. A new round of captures will begin immediately."
Pain said calmly, "At that time, the Akatsuki will become the common enemy of the ninja world."
Xiao Nan gritted her teeth upon hearing this.
She was momentarily confused and didn't know how to answer.
It can only be said that plans can't keep up with changes.
She originally intended to use the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki to delay for another six months, during which she could stay with Kitazawa and enjoy their last moments together.
But no one expected that Kitazawa would take Naruto Uzumaki to catch Sasori.
"what happened?"
Seeing her silence, Pain asked again.
"nothing."
Xiao Nan shook her head and said.
"Go down."
Pain didn't think much of it and reminded him, "Notify me immediately of any news regarding the capture of the Tailed Beasts."
"I see."
Xiao Nan responded and then turned to leave.
She left the tower and walked down the street, her originally aloof expression becoming dazed.
The next time they meet Kitazawa, they'll probably be at each other's throats.
Xiao Nan sighed inwardly and returned to her room.
She opened the door and suddenly froze.
But a moment later, his expression changed slightly, and worry appeared in his eyes.
"I used the Flying Thunder God Technique."
Kitazawa chuckled and said, "Don't worry, no one will find out."
Nagato's Rain Tiger Free Technique requires rain to function, but his Flying Thunder God Technique can bypass rain directly.
Xiao Nan felt somewhat relieved upon hearing this.
She had thought of that too.
"come over."
Kitazawa waved to her.
Xiao Nan walked up to him and sat on his lap.
She turned to the side, leaning against him, and slightly closed her long legs, pressing them close to him.
You look like you have something on your mind.
Kitazawa, inhaling her faint fragrance, spoke.
"I...I have completed my mission and will not return to Konoha Village in the future."
Xiao Nan hesitated for two seconds before telling the truth.
"It's okay, I can come over."
Kitazawa slapped her thigh and said, "You don't need to worry about this kind of thing."
"Thank you."
Xiao Nan paused for a moment, then felt her mood was not as heavy as before.
"Will your Akatsuki organization take action against all the Jinchuriki next?"
Kitazawa's right hand moved up her plump thigh.
"Ah."
