After the explanation, Naruto, seeing that no one had any questions, decided to set off.
However, before officially departing, Naruto planned to ask everyone about the code names they had chosen for themselves.
"Have you guys decided on your code names?" Naruto asked.
There were exactly seven of them, and if some hadn't come up with anything, Naruto could help them think of some.
Things like 'Seven Calabash Brothers,' 'Seven Swordsmen of Mount Heaven,' 'Rainbow Cat Blue Rabbit Seven Heroes,' and 'Seven Warlords of the Sea' were all groups of seven, which seemed quite fitting.
However, the result disappointed Naruto, as everyone had already thought of a code name for themselves.
Terumi Mei, standing to the side, said, "My code name is Priestess."
Kakashi scratched his head, not having put much thought into a code name, so he modified his Anbu code name, Black Snow: "Then I'll go with White Snow, it matches my hair color perfectly."
"Sixteen, it's a number that represents my age," Tsunade said, touching her cheek.
"Handsome and Elegant, it's a perfect adjective to describe my handsomeness," Jiraiya said with a smile, ignoring the looks from Tsunade and Naruto, nodding in affirmation.
"Then I'll go with Pale Cold, hehe, it's exactly the color of my skin," Orochimaru said, too lazy to think, deciding to follow the naming style of his two teammates.
At this moment, Sasuke also excitedly spoke up, "I've thought about it a long time ago, I'll be Cannon Emperor."
As he spoke, Sasuke took out a coin, flipped it on his finger, and said with a smile, "My Electromagnetic Cannon Technique is unstoppable."
Hearing Sasuke say this, a scene subconsciously appeared in Naruto's mind.
"The electrifying light dancing on your fingertips is my unwavering faith in this life." A group of fervent fans of Mikoto Misaka, the Electromaster, shouted in unison.
And at this moment, Sasuke Uchiha stopped Mikoto Misaka.
Stepping forward, he declared without hesitation, "That's right, it's me! Cannon Younger Brother."
Glaring at Sasuke, Naruto said coldly, "Change it, or I won't let you play."
"..." Sasuke was speechless, this was a code name he had been thinking about for a long time, incredibly domineering.
"Then I'll just go with Electromaster, the Electromaster from the Hidden Leaf Village." In the end, Sasuke decided to change his name.
And this time, Naruto was too lazy to even retort: "Are you going against that girl who has the same name as your mother?"
At this moment, Sasuke seemed to remember something, asking Naruto's code name: "Then what's your code name?"
"Of course, it's 'Menma'," Naruto replied with a smile.
Sasuke curled his lip, complaining, "You have the nerve to criticize me with your naming sense? Your own name, Naruto, comes from the narutomaki in ramen, and now you're going with Menma [Bamboo Shoots], both are ramen toppings."
To this, Naruto smiled and did not refute.
Menma was the name of his darkened self in the limited Tsukuyomi world, and using it now was just a coincidence.
There's no point in arguing with people who don't get the reference.
References are understood by those who understand them, and if they don't, then so be it. Forcing others to understand would be very awkward.
Waving his hand, Naruto took a step forward.
"Let's go!"
At this moment, their location was five kilometers away from the border of the Hidden Rain Village, where the weather was clear and there was no rain.
From here, one could clearly see the Hidden Rain Village shrouded in rain clouds not far away.
Although they were not far apart, it was as if they were in two different worlds.
Naruto knew that the Hidden Rain Village shrouded in rain was not a coincidence, but a range detection Ninjutsu called Rain Tiger at Will Technique, which could sense unfamiliar Chakra.
Because of this technique, even though a coup had occurred within the Hidden Rain Village for many years, the news had not spread to the outside world.
All spies who tried to sneak into the Hidden Rain Village to gather information were dealt with.
Afraid that everyone was unaware of this technique, Orochimaru reminded them, "If you get wet by those raindrops, they will be able to discover our tracks, does Naruto-kun have any ideas?"
To this, Naruto smiled slightly and said, "We'll sneak in."
As he spoke, Naruto began to form hand seals.
"Sage Art. Wind Release. After the Rain, Clear Skies."
As Naruto completed the reverse hand seals for this rain-calling Ninjutsu, the clouds above the Hidden Rain Village began to dissipate under the control of an invisible force. Before long, the entire Hidden Rain Village was enjoying a rare moment of sunshine.
Then, golden sunlight fell from the sky, causing the people in the Hidden Rain Village to stop and look up at this rare scene, their faces filled with heartfelt smiles.
Having done all this, Naruto acted without hesitation.
With a thought, he controlled the raging wind, lifting everyone around him.
Then, with a speed beyond imagination, he rushed towards the Hidden Rain Village.
The distance of five kilometers was neither long nor short. Although Naruto was fast, the guards of the Hidden Rain Village still spotted the abnormal wind and the group of people wrapped in it from afar.
"Is this what you call sneaking?"
Tsunade was wrapped inside the raging wind and didn't feel uncomfortable, but when she thought of Naruto saying he was going to sneak in, but now he was making such a huge commotion, she couldn't help but complain.
"Sage Art, Wind Release. Wall Hanger Technique."
Naruto raised his hand and pressed it to the ground, and a gust of wind swept across the gate of the Hidden Rain Village from afar.
The Hidden Rain Ninjas who had just wanted to be on alert didn't even have time to react before they were blown away by the wind, making intimate contact with the walls not far away, and were knocked unconscious without resistance.
"As long as all the enemies we see along the way are taken care of, it's a perfect sneak," Naruto said coolly.
"What you said makes so much sense that I'm speechless." Terumi Mei subconsciously complained. After being with Naruto for a long time, she had also learned a lot of Naruto's sayings, and now was the perfect time to use them.
"Okay, no more jokes. With this Rain Tiger at Will Technique, no matter how we sneak in, we'll be discovered sooner or later. I just chose the simplest and most direct method."
"At least, now, before we get to the real Akatsuki, no one will be able to stop us."
Naruto drove the wind forward, hanging all the witnesses on the walls, and explained to the people around him.
And as Naruto said, as soon as the Rain Tiger at Will Technique was dispelled, Nagato noticed something was wrong.
Thinking of what had happened a few days ago, he almost immediately thought of the Nine-Tailed Jinchuriki named Naruto, and Sasuke Uchiha, who had defeated Itachi.
"The previous preparations were not superfluous, so let me see who the enemy is."
Thinking of the core members of the Akatsuki who had been recalled to the village, Nagato couldn't help but whisper in his heart.
After that, he softly opened his mouth and called out, "Konan, go scout around."
