Using the Flying Thunder God Technique, Naruto Uzumaki hugged Hinata and teleported back to Konoha, appearing in the courtyard of the Uzumaki clan's mansion.
After entering the Uzumaki clan's mansion, Karin rushed out happily. But when she saw Hinata, she instantly became dejected.
"Everyone, come with me." Naruto spoke in the tone of a leader.
Zabuza Momochi, Haku, and Karin walked out one after another.
"Where's Tanzo Shimura?" Naruto looked around several times and didn't see Tanzo, so he couldn't help but feel a little worried.
"We found a basement here and have locked Tanzo in it." Karin specifically showed Naruto the entrance to the basement, which was hidden in a very secluded place.
"Good." Naruto examined the entrance to the basement but still didn't feel at ease. So he took out a large stack of Explosive Tags from his bosom and said, "Place these Explosive Tags in the basement and set up some booby traps."
"If anyone other than us enters the basement, let Tanzo die there for good."
Haku stepped forward, took the Explosive Tags from Naruto's hand, and then walked into the basement to set up the traps.
Naruto walked to a room, opened the door, and saw Gaara tied up in the shape of a mummy, with only his face exposed.
Seeing Naruto, Gaara's expression changed. He gritted his teeth and said, "Naruto Uzumaki!"
"Yo, Gaara, do you know that Konoha and Sunagakure have made peace?" Naruto looked at Gaara, who was tied up like a mummy, and knew that it was the Uzumaki Sealing Technique.
Since Karin was a descendant of the Uzumaki clan with pure Uzumaki blood, she was most suitable to train in the Uzumaki Sealing Technique.
Previously, Naruto had obtained the scroll left by Kushina Uzumaki from an iron box. It not only recorded the Adamantine Sealing Chains but also many other sealing techniques.
Naruto gave this scroll to Karin and asked her to train in the feared Uzumaki Sealing Technique.
Now Gaara wasn't just simply tied up; it was an entry - level Uzumaki Sealing Technique that Karin had just learned.
"Karin, it seems you have a talent for sealing techniques." Naruto praised Karin, admiring the sealing technique she had applied to Gaara.
"Tsk, such a simple thing is no big deal to me." Karin pretended to be non -chalant, but in her heart, she was thinking: Naruto is praising me... Keep going, keep going... Praise me a few more times...
"Then you must master the Adamantine Sealing Chains within two years." Naruto set a goal for Karin.
"Naruto Uzumaki!" Gaara asked with a gloomy face, "What on earth is going on?"
"Lord Rasa, the Fourth Kazekage, died a long time ago, and it was at the hands of Orochimaru."
Hearing Naruto's words, Gaara was obviously stunned.
"I won't go into the details of these things. I'll let you go. Once you return to Sunagakure, you'll know all the truth."
Next, Naruto asked everyone to stand in a row and hold hands.
Naruto held Hinata's hand with his left hand. Hinata held Karin's hand, Karin held Haku's hand, and Haku held Zabuza Momochi's hand.
Naruto placed his right hand on Gaara. In Gaara's shocked gaze, the group instantly teleported from indoors to outdoors.
Gaara was stunned. Then Naruto continued to use the Flying Thunder God Technique and teleported again, arriving directly outside Konoha Village.
Naruto put Gaara down and destroyed the seal with a kunai. "I've broken the seal. After some time, it will disintegrate on its own. Return to Konoha by yourself after the seal is lifted," he said.
After giving instructions, Naruto walked up to Hinata.
Suddenly, Gaara said, "Naruto, why? Why did you let me go? I clearly wanted to destroy your village."
"Are you kidding me?" Naruto said with a big smile. "Do you think I don't exist? With me around, even if the entire Akatsuki Organization came, they couldn't destroy Konoha Village."
Zabuza Momochi, Haku, Hinata, Karin, and Gaara heard the name of an organization from Naruto's mouth - Akatsuki!
Naruto turned his back to Gaara, raised his right hand, and waved it casually. "I've never held a grudge against you. Don't overestimate yourself. If you want to come and destroy Konoha again, feel free to come and find me."
Naruto took Hinata's hand, felt the warmth of her palm, and gently pinched it, which made Hinata feel quite embarrassed. But in front of so many people, Hinata pretended to be calm.
Under Gaara's gaze, Naruto used the Flying Thunder God Technique and disappeared with Hinata, Karin, Haku, and Zabuza Momochi.
The bandages wrapped around Gaara began to disintegrate, and the sealing tags on them started to fall off.
As all the bandages scattered, Gaara emerged from the seal and regained his freedom.
Gaara stood there in a daze for a few seconds, as if thinking about something, and then said, "Naruto... You're such a rare person..."
After that, Gaara started moving and headed towards the border to return to Sunagakure in the Land of Wind.
In a desolate area, Zabuza Momochi led the way in front, and the others followed behind.
Along the way, Naruto was flirting with Hinata, which made Karin very unhappy.
"Did you drink today's milk, Hinata?"
"I forgot." Hinata covered her small mouth with her sleeve, looking like she had done something wrong.
"That won't do," Naruto gently scolded her. "You're still growing up, you gotta drink more milk."
Karin ran up and said, "Naruto, I want to drink milk too."
Naruto was instantly stunned and stood still, looking as if he had been shocked.
"Don't be daft," Naruto said, rubbing his forehead. "It's no use. No matter how much milk you drink, Karin, it'll be a waste."
"What do you mean?" Karin rolled up her sleeve, showing the tooth marks on her arm. "I won't let you bite me again."
Naruto was so scared that his soul almost left his body. Karin was Naruto's cheat, and without this cheat for accelerating his training, it would be a disaster.
At this time, Hinata noticed the tooth marks on Karin's arm, and her Byakugan showed a shocked look.
Hinata thought to herself, 'These were all bitten by Naruto... Does Naruto have such a strange habit?'
Thinking of this, Hinata also rolled up her own sleeve, showing her snow - white arm.
"Ha ha.
Karin jeered, "Your arms are useless. Naruto won't take a bite. Only my body can arouse Naruto's desire to bite."
Zabuza Momochi turned his head and said expressionlessly, "Haku, you mustn't learn from Naruto."
Haku, who was following Zabuza Momochi, blushed slightly.
Seeing that Hinata was misunderstanding, Naruto hugged her and said, "You'll always be the only one in my heart."
"What?" Karin felt hurt.
Naruto wouldn't blame Karin. After all, Karin was of great use to him. If anyone was to be blamed, it should be fate for endowing him with such charm.
Naruto mused to himself, "It's really a pain to be overly charming."
