Trees Chapter 244 I'm Taking Him Away Today! Let's See Who Dares Stop Me!

Konoha Village…

Kisame was surrounded by a group of Konoha’s Shinobi.

The team was headed by Tsunade, and behind her stood Jiraiya, Orochimaru, and a group of Jonin and Anbu.

It can be said that except for Team 7, almost all Konoha’s high-level Shinobi were present.

Kisame knelt on one knee, using Samehada to support his body. He was breathing heavily, and his body was covered with wounds.

"Damn it!"

"How could you do something like that to Itachi-san!"

"I'm taking him away today... Let's see who dares stop me!?"

The Konoha’s Shinobi were all baffled by Kisame’s stubbornness.

‘Why did it feel like...’

‘We were the villains here?’

The weirdo in front of them, they all knew that he was a member of the righteous Akatsuki, which was why they didn't kill him.

‘Why is this fool keep insisting on taking Itachi away from Konoha...’

‘What kind of joke was that?!’

‘Itachi was serving his sentence by cross-dressing and performing, bringing profits to the village. No matter what, Konoha would never let him go.’

Tsunade frowned, stepped forward, and looked down at Kisame.

After a few seconds, she suddenly burst into laughter.

"Hahahahahaha."

"You said you wanted to take Uchiha Itachi away?"

The surrounding Shinobi were stunned and looked at each other in confusion, completely unsure what their Hokage was planning.

Kisame looked up, with something called hope in his eyes.

The corners of Tsunade’s mouth raised slightly, and her aura suddenly became a little sinister.

She held up a finger and said to Kisame, "If you want to redeem Uchiha Itachi... you can."

"Ten billion ryo."

"As long as you can come up with 10 billion ryo, I'll let you take him away."

To be honest, she had a favorable impression of the Akatsuki.

Not only had they repeatedly cleaned up the messes Naruto caused, but their leader was also Jiraiya's student.

Moreover, Naruto had joined the Akatsuki, and from the looks of it, the yellow-haired delinquent was slowly improving.

To put it bluntly, the Akatsuki could practically be considered Konoha's unofficial allied force.

So, she didn’t want to escalate the conflict with this Akatsuki’s member.

After all…

The Shinobi World wasn’t just about fighting and killing.

"10 billion ryo??"

Kisame's pupils dilated, his eyes filled with surprise.

Although this amount was enormous, it at least gave Kisame a glimmer of hope.

"Deal!"

"I’ll find a way to gather the money!"

"I hope Hokage-sama won’t go back on her word then!"

Kisame was excited because he thought he could go back and borrow some money from Kakuzu.

When Tsunade saw the fool’s reaction, she immediately waved her hand to signal the surrounding Shinobi to make way.

"Go ahead."

"But you'd better raise the money quickly..."

"Otherwise, your Itachi-san might..."

As she spoke, Tsunade gave Kisame a meaningful smile, while the Konoha’s Shinobi around her chuckled darkly.

At this moment, Tsunade looks like a mama-san in a brothel, and those Shinobi are the thugs around her.

"Wait for me!"

"I will definitely raise money as soon as possible to buy Itachi-san’s freedom!"

Kisame clenched his fists, gritted his teeth, and finally left in humiliation under the watchful eyes of the Konoha’s Shinobi...

Meanwhile, over at the eastern edge of the village, Naruto and Sasuke had no idea what had just happened in the village, and they were still lounging on the couch, lazing around.

"Is the video edited yet?"

Sasuke, lying on the couch, kicked Naruto, signaling that he needed to post it on his account to show off.

"I already sent it to you!"

Naruto leaned against the back of the chair and yawned.

A week had passed since he helped Sasuke get his revenge, but Naruto still felt a tinge of regret that he hadn’t witnessed Danzo being sealed under the bridge himself.

When Sasuke opened the video of his battle, he couldn’t help but cringe, "Can't you have cut out the part where I used Dust Release!?"

While he had thrown lime powder, laxatives, sent taunts, and ambushed his enemies, Sasuke still believed he was a good Shinobi at heart.

Naruto glanced at him and smirked disdainfully.

‘Heh, now you care about your image when posting it on Internet? Where was this dignity during the actual fight?’

While Naruto thought so, he rolled his eyes and said, "Fine, I’ll edit it one last time!"

"If I help you again after this, I’m a dog!"

Naruto said helplessly and started to help Sasuke edit the video.

At the same time, inside the sealed space, Kurama suddenly spoke up.

"Naruto, where’s my... ahem... Shukaku and Gyuki’s phones?"

"You said they’d be ready in a few days?"

"It's not that this Immortal Emperor is anxious, it's mainly that these two keep disturbing my meditation."

Shukaku: "…"

Gyuki: “…”

In the sealed space, the two Biju looked at each other, utterly speechless at Kurama’s shameless blame-shifting.

‘It's obviously you who wants to play, as you keep mumbling in our ears all day long, saying things like, 'Why is the phone not ready yet?’’

‘You look like a pet cat that only acts coquettishly towards its owner.’

‘But now...’

‘You just opened your mouth and dumped all the blame on us.’

‘How presumptuous!’

Naruto was quite speechless after hearing this.

However, he didn’t dare call Kurama out directly.

After all, it is quite difficult to calm down Kurama when he is angry.

Immortal Emperor Kurama noticed that Naruto had not replied for so long, and thought he had noticed something. He quickly picked up his whip and whipped it in the air a few times to signal Shukaku to be smarter.

Shukaku closed his eyes, gritted his teeth, and spoke in humiliation.

"Y-Yeah!"

"Naruto! Gyuki and I really want to play with the phone!"

Kurama nodded with satisfaction and continued to speak to Naruto, "Did you hear them?"

Naruto fell silent for a moment, glanced at Sasuke who was scrolling through his phone, then glanced at his own fox, and finally let out a long sigh.

‘Every single day...’

‘Why is no one letting me live in peace?’

"Sasuke, why don't we go back to the Akatsuki?"

"I need to go back and find Sasori and the others."

‘The modified phones I asked before should be ready by now, and while I was there, I could also ask Sasori to help track down Obito’s location.’

"Sure."

Sasuke readily agreed.

Ever since leaving Akatsuki last time, he hadn’t seen his dear leader, Pain.

Thinking back on how disrespectful he had been toward the man, Sasuke now felt nothing but guilt.

After all, the revival of his parents and clansmen depended on him...

Seeing that Sasuke had no objection, Naruto immediately grabbed Sasuke and left Konoha, heading straight for the organization’s tech experts.

…

"Sasori-danna..."

"We’ve used up all those puppets."

Deidara approached Sasori and reported in a low voice, looking very embarrassed.

"Let’s focus on researching the T-Type puppets for now."

"I’ll request more from Cult Leader later..."

When the two talked about this, the remains of the five hundred iron golems in the warehouse flashed in their minds.

At first, they thought they could figure out the principle of these puppets by dismantling a few of them...

But the result?

Not only were the iron golems dismantled, but they also hadn’t cracked the technology yet.

In the end, the two, who found nothing, began to try to combine the technology of the Cult Mechanicus and the Scientific Truth Society’s to see if they could create something new...

Otherwise, this whole venture would be a total loss.

Sasori and Deidara huddled in the corner, whispering conspiratorially, completely oblivious to the glowing portal that had just appeared behind them.

Naruto led Sasuke to the construction site and immediately spotted the Slacker Duo sitting together in the corner.

‘What's going on?!’

‘How come two guys with different beliefs get so close?!

Naruto always had a very bad feeling when he saw this, but he couldn't tell what was wrong.

He turned around and gestured to Sasuke beside him, and then tiptoed behind the two.

At the same time, he stretched out his hands and put them on their shoulders, "What are you two doing?"
