In Konoha Hokage's office, Iruka flipped through the information in his hand, and the people of Cloud Hidden Village, Yukito Futao, were now reported missing. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

In this way, [Xiao] has three tailed beasts in his hands, including Ichi, and the three tails are under the control of Konoha , and the eight tails, with the current strength of [Xiao], it is estimated that it will be difficult to capture them!

And the most critical Nine-Tails, half of which is in Naruto's body, and half of which is in the body of the Fourth Hokage, as long as Sasuke is allowed to find the location of the key Death Mask from Orochimaru's information, then the most important Nine-Tails will be in the hands of Konoha!

In this way, there are still four, five, six, and seven missing, and there is no way to calculate which one [Xiao] got before collecting one, but according to their plan, they will inevitably do it to the remaining tailed beasts one by one!

Once [Akatsuki] has collected the remaining three Tailed Beasts, then they will be of no use and can start stabbing them!

At this moment, the door of the Hokage's office was kicked open.

"Iruka-sensei, you bastard!"

Naruto screamed and rushed in from outside the gate, and was slammed to the ground with a fist from Sakura behind him.

"Call Rokudaime Hokage-sama!"

Sakura and Kakashi walked into the Hokage's office one after the other, and looking at the iron faces on Naruto and Sakura's faces, Iruka snapped his fingers and closed the door to the Hokage's office and activated the soundproof barrier inside.

"Hokage-sama, I think you need to give us an explanation!"

Sakura said to Iruka with a serious face.

"Oh? What did you know? ”

"Sasuke didn't defect at all, did he! You bastard teacher, we trust you so much! You! ”

"Alaala, when Sasuke left Konoha, Tsunade was the Hokage, you can't blame me!"

Iruka instantly began to shirk responsibility, wanting to blame Tsunade for the matter.

"Bastard! With Sasuke's character, no one can ...... except you, the bastard teacher"

The excited Naruto was once again knocked to the ground by Sakura's punch, and Sakura seemed to be a little excited at this time, although he guessed that Sasuke, who would show mercy to his subordinates, should not have defected, but was sent out to be a spy.

However, when Iruka really admitted it herself, Sakura believed that this matter was not delusional by a few of her own people, and Sasuke had never betrayed Konoha!

Sakura took a deep breath, calmed down a little, and then said with some dissatisfaction.

"Hokage-sama, Sasuke is a member of our seventh class no matter how you say it, and you sent him out on such a dangerous mission without even saying a word, isn't it ......"

Iruka shrugged his shoulders: "Then, Naruto's big mouth directly exposed Sasuke's undercover identity?" ”

"Naruto, Sakura, Hokage-sama really didn't do anything wrong." Kakashi smiled wryly and explained to the two little guys, "If I don't tell you, it's also to protect Sasuke's safety!" ”

"But...... But ......" Sakura was a little speechless.

"But, Iruka-sensei, why did you send Sasuke out to do such a dangerous thing, do you know how sad we are?"

Sakura said in a choked voice, and Naruto, who was lying on the ground, looked at Iruka with red eyes and teeth and claws.

"Because, you're not strong enough! Not hard enough! ”

“！” *3

The three people, including Kakashi, were all taken aback.

"I asked Sasuke to go to Orochimaru's side, first of all, Orochimaru has some very important information for Konoha in his hands, if you are strong enough, then as long as you storm Orochimaru's lair and investigate one by one, I don't need to send Sasuke to do any undercover mission!"

Iruka continued, "The second reason is that going to Orochimaru's side is the most helpful for Sasuke's growth! You should have seen how powerful Sasuke is growing now, Orochimaru covets Sasuke's body, so even if it is for himself, he will spend the most effort to help Sasuke grow! ”

"How could it be...... Isn't Iruka-sensei as good as that guy Orochimaru? ”

Before Naruto could speak to Sakura, Iruka stretched out his right hand and shook it, sighed and said, "Under my teaching, with Sasuke's character, of course he can grow very well, but! And the third and most important point, letting Sasuke go to Orochimaru's side is also the best choice for you! ”

"What!" "Huh?" When Naruto and Sakura heard this, they were completely stunned.

And Iruka pointed at Naruto and said, "Naruto, ask yourself, if Sasuke is still in Konoha Village, will you travel with Jiraiya, even if you do travel, will you do your best to practice like now?" ”

"Of course I ......" Naruto's voice grew smaller and quieter, and the last word "will" was barely audible.

"And Sakura-chan, you're the same!" Iruka also pointed at Sakura and said, "Before Sasuke left, although you worked Tsunade-sama's practice, your real focus will always be on other places!" ”

Sakura lowered her head a little ashamedly.

"What kind of breakfast did you make for Sasuke today? How do you ask Sasuke out to go shopping together? Would Sasuke like this outfit like this? ”

With every word Iruka, Sakura's head lowered, and by the end Sakura's head was down to her chest.

"It wasn't until Sasuke left that you started to go crazy and exercise yourself, spending most of your time in Konoha Hospital every day in addition to sleeping and tasks."

Iruka made a final closing statement: "If Sasuke hadn't defected, ask yourself if you would be able to grow to this intensity three years later!" ”

"We ......" "This ......"

Naruto and Sakura were crumbling by Iruka's words, it turned out that Sasuke had to leave him, it turned out that he didn't work hard enough at the time, and the two of them were moved by Iruka's strong fan power, and they entered the condemnation of their former selves together.

"Alright, you two think about it now, Kakashi-sensei, you report back to me what happened to this mission."

Kakashi nodded and began to report back on the mission, while Naruto and Sakura walked out of the Hokage's office in despair.

"Hoo ......"

Iruka let out a deep sigh, fortunately he knew that Sasuke's matter would be seen through by this group of cubs sooner or later, so he had already prepared a statement to excuse himself.

"Hokage-sama?"

"Huh?"

Iruka was stunned for a moment, only to notice that Kakashi seemed to be a little worried and hurried.

"Do you want to tell Naruto about this now? You know, with Naruto's big mouth......"

"Don't worry, there's no need to keep it secret, the three-year time is almost up!"
