The two Anbu drew their ninja swords behind them with cold eyes.

The order given to them by their superiors is that no matter who they are, as long as they are irrelevant personnel, no one is allowed to enter without a permission order.

If someone breaks in by force, violent suppression can be carried out.

"Okay, I understand, don't do anything, I'll leave that right now, I want to ask, did Uchiha Sasuke come here last night?

After asking this question, I will leave."

Shikamaru raised his hand and backed away, signaling that he was harmless.

"Uchiha Sasuke? No, he has not been here."

An ANBU said coldly.

As long as there is something wrong with Shikamaru, they will immediately take force to control him. Even the son of the Jonin squad leader,

No exception.

After receiving this answer, Shikamaru breathed a sigh of relief. He took one last deep look at the Hokage Building and turned to leave. Judging from the news revealed by the ANBU, Sasuke had not yet taken action, or perhaps, he was in the process of taking action at this time.

, but due to the tight security of the Hokage Building, he could not enter.

Therefore, it can be concluded that Sasuke is hiding somewhere at this time.

Shikamaru believes that the most important thing right now is to find traces of Sasuke.

"What, you said Sasuke-kun is missing?"

Arriving at Sakura's house, Shikamaru told Sakura the news that Sasuke disappeared last night.

But judging from Sakura's surprised tone, Sasuke had never been here before.

"Yes, I thought that Sasuke would come to stay with you when he left home, but it seems that I thought too much.

Shikamaru had a headache and pressed his head.

"No, I haven't seen Sasuke-kun since the commotion yesterday afternoon. I have been staying at home to study something and haven't gone out."

Sakura shook her head.

Immediately, she asked worriedly: "By the way, what happened to Sasuke-kun? Why is he missing?"

"Come with me, one more person will give you more strength. I will explain the details to you, Sakura, on the way. I hope the worst thing won't happen.

Shikamaru made an invitation.

good.

Sakura didn't hesitate. When it came to Sasuke, she agreed without hesitation.

With Sakura joining him, Shikamaru took him to continue running around Konoha Village, and on the way, he revealed to Sakura the reason for Sasuke's disappearance.

After hearing this, Sakura's face became even more worried.

The Mangekyō Sharingan's high-level investigation of the village... These things were connected in series, and Sakura, like Shikamaru, thought of some bad things.

Shikamaru's second target is Naruto.

As a member of Team 7, Sasuke has the best relationship with Naruto and Sakura among his contemporaries.

If Sakura didn't find any trace of Sasuke here, then she might have gone to Naruto to hide.

Although this possibility was very small, Shikamaru did not want to let go of any doubts.

"What, it's Shikamaru and Sakura, what's wrong with you two?"

When there was a knock on the door, Naruto got up from the bed in a daze, and then opened the door in a daze. When he saw that the people looking for him were Shikamaru and Sakura, his sleepiness suddenly decreased a lot.

"Looking at you, you seem to have figured it out."

Shikamaru saw that although there were dark circles on Naruto's face, his face looked much better than yesterday.

"That's right. I just think it's a bit strange to assume the identity of the Hokage's son. The rest is pretty much the same as before."

As for what has changed, it is that the people in the village have gradually changed the way they look at me.

The adult who used to hate him and even suggested that children of the same age bullied him strangely came to apologize to him yesterday, hoping that he would not pursue it and would be willing to make compensation.

However, Naruto was not interested in this.

I have almost forgotten those things.

If these people hadn't come to him, Naruto would have almost forgotten how these people bullied his master.

So much so that his current room was filled with apologies and gifts from others, all of which were valuables. Even if Naruto wanted to refuse, he could not withstand the insistence of these people.

Having won a lot of prize money from the Kingdom of Ghosts, he has no difficulties in life for the time being, and can even be said to be a lot better off.

"Yeah?"

"Stop talking about me, why did you come to me so early in the morning? If you are here to mediate with me, there is no need. Iruka has comforted me many times."

Naruto looked at Shikamaru and Sakura, wanting to know what they were going to do when they came to him at this time.

"I'll be honest, Sasuke may want to find trouble with the higher-ups because of some things. I'm here to stop him from doing stupid things, but he is missing now, so he came to try his luck with you."

Shikamaru explained briefly and comprehensively.

Obviously, Sasuke is not here with Naruto either.

"What? Why did Sasuke do this?"

Naruto was taken aback.

"Forget what I did yesterday, you can join in. I will explain to you later that the most important thing right now is to find Sasuke. So, you should understand."

Shikamaru thought that with Naruto's ability to operate his brain, he might have to explain a lot before Naruto could understand.

But time was running out now, and he didn't have time to use a long speech to make Naruto understand.

"Yeah, I understand, finding Sasuke is the most important thing right now!"

Naruto looked like he understood.

"That's it. Since Sasuke is not here with you and Sakura, it is almost impossible to find Sasuke by searching like a headless fly. Therefore, we need more manpower, as well as professional tracking ninjas."

Shikamaru thought for a moment and said.

"Shikamaru, you mean Sakura understands something.

"Sakura, you and Naruto go find the people from Class 8, and I'll find the people from Class 10. We will meet at the center of the village."

Although the area over the Hokage Building is completely under martial law, the rest of the village is still under relatively relaxed management.

With ANBU and security personnel, the security of the village is much safer now than before.

"I understand, Naruto, come with me. Let's go find Kiba and the others."

"oh oh!"

Although he didn't quite understand, Naruto still nodded and came down, quickly went back to the room to change into his going out clothes, and followed Sakura away.

Half an hour later.

In the center of Konoha Village, on the rooftop of an apartment building, Naruto, Sakura, Weida, Kiba, Shino, Shikamaru, Ino and Choji gathered here.

"What are you doing? That guy Sasuke is too crazy, isn't he? He didn't ask us to help with such an important matter. He didn't regard us as old classmates at all."

Kiba put his ninja dog Akamaru on top of his head and said with an unhappy expression.

It seemed that because of Sasuke's behavior of leaving him, he felt that he was not respected and was dissatisfied.

Akamaru lay on Kiba's head and barked twice, echoing Kiba.

"That's right, Sasuke, who is so cold and cold, is so charming. I wouldn't mind if we elope."

Ino blushed shyly and became intoxicated.

"Ino, what are you talking about? Is now the time to say such things?"

Sakura glared at Ino angrily.

"I mean, Sasuke must have had a hard time being in a group with only women with wide foreheads for the past six months.

"Do you want to fight, Inoboar?"

Sakura's fist hardened.

"Haha, I'm a lady, and only a broad forehead like yours can be keen on violence. It's really ugly."

Ino fiddled with her long hair and said in a condescending tone.

"You two, stop arguing. Sasuke is in a very bad situation right now. Before resolving the grudge between you two, we need to find Sasuke first.

Shikamaru stepped forward to dissuade him.

Ino and Sakura both snorted and turned away, completely ignoring each other.

"Well, I also think this is better. Hinata agreed in a low voice.

"Indeed, according to my judgment of the situation, at the moment we should...

Shino gently pushed the sunglasses on the bridge of his nose and expressed his opinion.
