After saying that, Naruto jumped out of the window.
Now is the time for Sakura to think. If he stays, it will affect Sakura to some extent, and he doesn't want Sakura to blame him for a certain decision in the future.
Uzumaki Naruto has not yet considered taking responsibility for anyone's life.
Seeing Naruto suddenly leave, Sakura was obviously stunned for a moment. She was just about to tell Naruto that if Naruto wanted her to be a medical ninja, she would study hard.
However, Naruto did not give her the chance to say this.
"."
After leaving the hospital, Naruto had a casual meal on the street, then walked around to digest the food. It was almost dark when he returned home.
Back in bed, Naruto pulled up the quilt to cover his whole body, then pulled his arms back and waited for "One" to emerge, then he called Bai.
No matter how powerful the Anbu are, they don't have super hearing. As long as Naruto speaks quietly enough, they can't hear it. No matter how powerful the Third Hokage's telescope technique is, he can't see what Naruto is doing in bed.
Although it might be misunderstood as a slow motion of the left hand and the right hand.
But this is the most covert way of communication Naruto can think of at the moment.
"Lord Naruto, do you have anything for me today?" Bai's voice was still pleasant and gentle, and you couldn't tell at all that he grew up with a terrifying ninja.
"Today, is there any information from Akatsuki?"
Naruto was brief and to the point. Ever since the news about Asuma and Sasuke came out, he had been asking Bai to use the money from the dead Cardo to hire someone to conduct an investigation.
"Now two people have been to the Land of Hot Springs to investigate the news we spread before." Bai said.
Naruto was not surprised to hear the news. It was 100% certain that it was Uchiha Itachi and Hoshigaki Kisame. Uchiha Itachi would definitely not be in a good mood seeing his most caring brother being humiliated like this.
But the news came from the Land of Hot Springs, so it was reasonable for Uchiha Itachi, who was not sure whether it was true, to take Hoshigaki Kisame to the Land of Hot Springs to investigate.
"Be careful not to let them find you, and don't handle everything yourself."
Naruto reminded: "As I said before, if something can be solved with money, then spend money to solve it and let this matter become a headless news."
"Yes, sir!" Bai still said very little.
As long as Bai, who spread the news, cannot be found, Uchiha Itachi will definitely enter Konoha to investigate. As for who will get into trouble after he comes, that's hard to say.
Naruto calculated the time and said, "Also, you can release some false information appropriately and try to prevent them from going to the Land of Fire within a month while ensuring their own safety."
"Yes!"
"Remember, ensure your own safety first. If there is a risk of exposure, stop the mission immediately and don't stubbornly think about completing it."
To be honest, Naruto cares more about Bai's life than money. After all, that is a knife that can do a lot of things for him outside.
On the other side, Bai's mouth curled up slightly after the connection was cut off, and he played with his hair with his fingers, his face full of joy.
Now she looks forward to Naruto contacting her every day, because only at this time can she hear his voice to relieve her fatigue.
"Ah~ When can I see Naruto-sama again? I really want to be stepped on by him!"

Chapter 45 Insider Information
A week later, the sun was shining.
After getting up and washing, Naruto stood in front of the full-length mirror, tidied up his appearance and combed his hair into an adult style.
Thinking that he would be taking part in the Chunin Exam next and might encounter some unexpected situations, Naruto changed his white clothes into black ones that were more resistant to dirt.
On the way to the Ninja School, I bought some delicious meat buns as my breakfast for today.
As Naruto walked, he discovered something was wrong. The streets of Konoha were a little strange today. They were too quiet, and there was a faint mist all around.
It was a sunny day when I first went out.
What a boring illusion.
After finishing the meat bun and throwing the plastic bag into the trash can, Naruto stretched and continued walking.
At this moment, a masked man wearing a Rain Ninja forehead protector suddenly appeared in the fog in front of Naruto, holding a child with a long blue scarf in his hand.
"Morning Konohamaru!"
Naruto greeted Konohamaru in an unusually friendly manner, then walked around the Rain Ninja.
The Rain Ninja seemed dumbfounded for two seconds, then suddenly shouted, "Hahaha, I didn't expect to capture the grandson of the Third Hokage. I have to quickly take him back to the village to claim credit."
However, Naruto still had no intention of coming back to save Konohamaru, and just kept walking forward on his own.
Looking at Naruto's figure getting farther and farther away, the Rain Ninja scratched his head in confusion, grabbed Konohamaru and ran to Naruto, saying viciously.
"Little ghost, did you see me?"
"Oh, I didn't see it."
Rain Ninja couldn't hold it anymore: "The one I caught is the grandson of your Third Hokage, aren't you going to save him?"
"Oh, then hurry up and take him away." Naruto kindly reminded: "If you don't leave now, when the Third Hokage comes, you won't be able to leave."
"." For a moment, the scene fell into a strange awkwardness.
Watching Naruto's back gradually disappear into the distance, Iruka cancelled his transformation technique, and the Konohamaru in his hand turned into a scarecrow.
Iruka was a little confused. Did Naruto pass or fail this small test before the exam?
"."
Looking at the scene in the Third Hokage's crystal ball, Akimichi Choza frowned, "How could this disciple of Kakashi not value his friends so much? Can we really let such a person become a ninja without any worries?"
The other people present had similar feelings, especially Mitarashi Anko. Seeing Naruto being indifferent to Konohamaru's safety, she approached Yuhi Kurenai with some disappointment and said:
"Hong, this little guy you know doesn't have a very good character."
"Don't talk nonsense." Yuhi Kurenai retorted: "Naruto should have noticed that something was wrong a long time ago."
"Hehe, if you really find that something is wrong, you should fight with Iruka pretending to be Rain Ninja. It's too late to just leave like this."
Hongdou complained for a while and noticed that Xihi Kurenai's expression was a little impatient. She muttered softly: "Forget it, I will help you train it when the time comes. I will teach it well."
"Haha, stop arguing." The Sandai smiled and took a puff of his cigarette: "Anyway, since Naruto wasn't fooled this time, he passed."
The third generation's guess was similar to that of Kurenai Yuhi. He also felt that with Naruto's strength, he might have discovered it a long time ago and that's why he did this.
After all, the example of Naruto desperately saving Konohamaru happened just a few days ago, and the Third Generation had no reason to doubt Naruto.
But the Third Hokage never thought of making any excuses for Naruto. If others want to misunderstand him, then let them misunderstand. The deeper the misunderstanding, the better.
In the end, it will be up to him or Konohamaru to comfort Naruto.
Kurenai Yuhi and the Third Hokage guessed half right. Naruto did discover from the beginning that those were all fake, but he didn't think that going to save Konohamaru was real, even if it was just Konohamaru transformed from a scarecrow.
A week ago, Naruto saved Konohamaru from the mouthy Kankuro with good intentions, and he thought that the Third Hokage might show kindness to him, but what he got first was a lesson from the Third Hokage.
The next day, the Sandai came to him and gave him a bunch of moral lectures, such as being kind to others and being patient when the village doesn't give the order, etc., which really made Naruto sick.
It's basically teaching Naruto how to be a turtle.
It's bad enough that he is a cuckold himself, but he also tries to make others become cuckolds as well. He is really hopeless.
Not long after Naruto walked away, the surroundings became bustling again. Many customers gathered in the shops in the streets and alleys. When passing by the Yamanaka family's flower shop, he saw a familiar figure.
When the pretty blonde girl saw Naruto, the corners of her lips curled up slightly and she trotted over to Naruto.
"Naruto, long time no see."
"Well, long time no see."
Naruto looked at Ino, who was wearing more open clothes, and asked, "Would you like to go to school together?"
"Oh~ How did you know I was going to school too?" Ino's eyes were full of smiles. When she stroked her chin with her hand, her hair swayed slightly. She asked with a smile, "Have you been secretly following me?"
nerve!
My hobbies are similar to Nohara Shinnosuke's. You are not my type, but I pay attention to what you do.
Naruto said calmly, "You're not going? Then I'll go by myself."
"Hey, why are you like this? Wait for me."
Ino followed Naruto's footsteps and walked side by side with him with her hands behind her back.
Naruto didn't take the initiative to talk to her, so she waited for a while and took the initiative to think of a topic: "Naruto, were you in danger just now?"
"No." Naruto said calmly.
"Ah, how could that be." Ino said angrily, "I thought it was a test that everyone encountered. Am I the only one?"
"Maybe." Naruto nodded and answered Ino perfunctorily.
His answer immediately made Ino nervous. Ino first told Naruto about her situation, wondering if the village thought she was not strong enough and did this to test her.
Naruto said it was possible.
Ino was even more depressed.
The two talked as they walked, and before long, they met Choji and Shikamaru who were waiting for Ino on the road near the ninja school.
Choji was somewhat happy to see Naruto. When they were still in the ninja school, Naruto had a good relationship with him and Shikamaru. However, they hadn't spoken a single word to each other for several months after leaving the ninja school.
After chatting for a while, Choji suddenly handed a bag of potato chips to Naruto.
Naruto was just wondering when Choji, a foodie, would be so generous with food when Choji asked, "Naruto, do you know the inside story about Asuma-sensei and Sasuke?"
Hearing this, Ino and Shikamaru immediately pricked up their ears to listen.
The two of them had wanted to ask for a long time. One was a guiding jonin, and the other was a former classmate. The things about these two people were really too explosive for them.
Asma is still in confinement, and the elders in the family refuse to reveal anything. At her age when they want to know everything, their curiosity is growing.
But Shikamaru felt it was not a good idea to ask Naruto directly, and Ino was worried that if she mentioned Sasuke in front of Naruto, this stingy guy would get angry again.
Only Choji tried to get information with a bag of potato chips.
Meeting the three people's burning gazes, Naruto knew that this matter might have spread throughout the ninja circle, and he immediately mourned for Sasuke in his heart.
