Trees Chapter 343 Son Goku? How Dare You Call Yourself That?

"Roshi..."

"Listen to me, come back with me."

"Tsuchikage-sama definitely won’t hold your past actions against you."

Han knelt in front of Roshi, speaking earnestly. But no matter how much he tried to persuade him, Roshi just kept blowing on his tea and sipping, completely ignoring him.

After who knows how long, Roshi finally couldn’t stand Han’s nagging anymore and snapped angrily.

“You know nothing!!”

"Onoki is such an idiot!"

"I told him to follow the lead of Konoha and Kumogakure and start live-streaming, but did he listen to me?!"

Roshi was fuming just thinking about it.

He hadn’t been staying outside the village the whole time… in fact, he’d even gone back to see Onoki a few days ago.

In recent years, the Shinobi World had gone completely mad, with some bastard or another constantly popping up to destroy villages.

Iwagakure was already strapped for cash, and after being wrecked multiple times, life for the villagers had only gotten harder.

Naturally, Roshi couldn’t just stand by and watch.

So, he’d approached Onoki multiple times with ideas for reform.

But...

That old fool Onoki was disgusted by Kumogakure’s muscle-flexing and shouting in their streams.

And when he saw Konoha’s Shinobi cross-dressing and shaking their hips, he nearly blew his top.

He kept ranting about how it was ‘indecent’ and ‘shameful’.

In short, he outright refused to let anyone in the village do that kind of thing.

Roshi, on the other hand, thought the old man was just being stubborn.

Who cared how they did it? As long as they made money, wasn’t that what mattered?

Onoki wouldn’t budge, and in the end, the two of them parted ways angrily… again.

Han wiped the sweat from his forehead.

"Well... Tsuchikage-sama has his own plans..."

"Bullshit!"

"Damn that Onoki, that *******!"

"He’s just a *******!"

Roshi couldn’t stand hearing people defend that old fool and immediately started cursing.

Han listened silently, wiping his sweat, not daring to say a word.

He figured if he tried to argue any further...

Roshi might actually beat him up.

After about half an hour, Roshi finally stopped his tirade, but only after downing six cups of tea.

Seeing that the timing was right, Han cautiously pulled out his phone and opened the message from that ‘kind-hearted informant’, then carefully said:

"Roshi..."

"You must’ve gotten this message too, right?"

"That Uchiha Sasuke is planning to capture the Jinchuriki of several villages..."

"It’s too dangerous for you to stay out here alone."

If Han hadn’t brought it up, Roshi might’ve calmed down. But now, he was even angrier.

"Damn it! Konoha is provoking a war!"

"Is Onoki just going to hide in the village like a coward?!"

"Just declare war on Konoha already!"

Han: "..."

Roshi was furious, ranting about going to war with Konoha and whatnot.

But Han could only stay silent.

‘Start a war?’

‘What war!!’

‘Had Roshi forgotten that the God of Shinobi, Senju Hashirama, had been revived?’

It is said that a few days ago, their Tsuchikage, Onoki said that he had exchanged a few moves with the opponent, but was ultimately defeated by the opponent due to his bad back.

In short...

Onoki had made it clear that Konoha was now the strongest village in the Shinobi World in every way.

Starting a war would be suicide.

"What?"

"You think I’m wrong?"

Roshi snorted coldly, then shifted to mocking Sasuke.

"He’s just some brat."

"All he knows how to do is use poison... a child’s trick."

"My Lava Release can neutralize that useless trick instantly."

Roshi crossed his arms, brimming with confidence.

His tone made it clear he didn’t see Sasuke as any kind of threat...

But Roshi had no idea that a team of Konoha’s Shinobi was already at the foot of his mountain.

"Naruto, you’re sure he’s on this mountain, right?"

Sasuke turned to confirm with Naruto.

"Yeah."

"Boruto!"

Naruto quickly answered, then called out his ‘beloved’ son’s name from the back of the group.

Roar…

In an instant, the monstrous creature appeared before Naruto.

Hinata, who had been waiting for this, immediately drew her Zanpakuto and slashed forward.

“Argh…!!”

The monster didn’t even have time to react before it was slammed into the ground, completely immobilized.

Naruto then pulled out his own Zanpakuto and used its cube-cutting ability to swiftly finish off the monster.

Whoosh…

A few slashes later, the monster dissolved into green light and was absorbed into the Zanpakuto.

Naruto checked his Zanpakuto’s damage, which is now over 1000, and nodded in satisfaction.

The whole way here, he and Hinata had been grinding monsters like this.

It didn’t take long for his Zanpakuto’s attack power to break 1000.

However...

He noticed that the monsters appearing lately seemed to be getting stronger.

Their HP had increased from 600 to 2000.

As for their attack power, he wasn’t too sure… after all, Hinata was the one controlling them while he dealt the finishing blows.

"Naruto..."

"Should we go for another one?"

Hinata was a little excited.

After all, this was the first time she’d fought side by side with Naruto.

‘Being able to help Naruto-kun is the best!’

Naruto was momentarily stunned by her enthusiasm.

Because he’d noticed something strange… Hinata was completely immune to the monsters’ mental corruption.

In fact...

The moment some of these monsters appeared and saw Hinata, they immediately tried to run away.

‘Case closed!’

‘Boruto is more afraid of his mother!’

"No."

"Capturing the Biju is more important."

Naruto’s body flared with golden Chakra, and he immediately sensed two Biju’s Chakra signatures at the mountain’s peak.

"Huh???"

"Are we really this lucky?"

"Both Biju are here?"

Naruto grinned, then grabbed Sasuke’s shoulder and pointed at the wooden house on the mountain.

"Sasuke, see that?"

"Our targets are right there."

As he spoke, he created a shadow clone. Sasuke immediately understood. He grabbed the clone, and with the power of his Six-Tomoe Rinnegan, they vanished from the spot.

Meanwhile, after getting the coordinates, Naruto opened a portal of light and led the others through it.

"Let me tell you!"

"A mere Uchiha Sasuke..."

"If he dares show his face here, I’ll teach him what a perfect Jinchuriki is capable of!"

"And that Konoha’s yellow-haired guy..."

"Hmph, Son Goku and I will show them what’s what."

Whoosh…

Sasuke, carrying Naruto’s clone, appeared right at this time. Hearing this, he was furious and immediately crushed the clone in his grip.

Then, Naruto himself arrived through the portal.

"Damn it!!"

"Old man, you dare call yourself Son Goku?!"

"Fox Vanguard! Come out! Show this geezer what’s what!!"

Naruto was pissed.

Originally, he’d planned to let Sasuke handle these two alone.

But not only had they been talking big, they even had the nerve to mention Son Goku.

Just hearing Yonbi’s name in his past life had always irritated him.

‘What kind of joke was this? Did every random creature think they could call themselves his favorite Saiyan’s name now?!

"Substitute fighter?!"

"Let me! Let me!"

Hearing there was a fight, Shukaku got hyped.

Ever since learning the Nine Revolutions Profound Art, it was no longer the weakling among the Biju.

"Shut up!"

"Naruto said Yonbi is mine!"

Kurama kicked Shukaku aside and immediately took over Naruto’s body.

"Naruto, next time, call me Immortal Emperor."

"Don't call me those weird names."
