Naruto: All I want to do after transforming into Akali is be happy!

Chapter 82 Konoha Discovers Something's Wrong

"That's a good question! I'd like to know the answer too!"

A lazy voice came from behind.

Naruto, Sasuke, and Sakura, who had retreated far away with Konohamaru, beamed with joy: "Kakashi-sensei!"

"Me too!"

"Me too!"

Behind Kakashi, Kurenai and Asuma walked over together.

Looking at Akali, Kurenai's beautiful red eyes held a hint of helplessness.

She didn't understand how Akali could have gotten into a fight with the Sand Ninja team that came to Konoha to participate in the competition while she was only reporting to the Third Hokage.

[Ding! Kurenai's emotional value +999!]

"So, what's going on, Akali?" Kurenai asked again.

Before Akali could answer, Kankuro became excited when the question was asked.

"It's her! It's all this woman's fault!"

"We were all about to leave when she said that we'd all be rivals from now on, and asked if we should have a match. We firmly refused, but she insisted!"

"So, it's all this woman's fault!"

Kankuro pointed at Akali and said.

"Akali?" The Jonin from Konoha looked at Akali.

Akali didn't speak, but instead glanced at Kankuro and gave him a strange smile.

Kankuro felt a chill run down his spine, wondering what Akali was up to this time. Seeing that even Gaara couldn't handle Akali, he was genuinely afraid of her.

However, the thought that they were in the right this time immediately made Kankuro stand up for himself.

He glared back at Akali fiercely: "What are you looking at?"

"Wow, pretty arrogant, huh? Not bad." Akali smiled.

It's fortunate that she wasn't from Northeast China before she time-traveled, otherwise, just this one sentence would have made her fight Kankuro again.

He's just Kankuro; he can be easily dealt with even without a fight.

Akali looked at the other Jonin present: "I admit, it was indeed me who escalated the situation!"

"Hey, look! Look!"

Hearing Akali's words, Kankuro became excited again.

His smug look made Temari glare at him, wondering why her brother had suddenly become so foolish. Akali clearly hadn't finished speaking.

As expected, after admitting part of the responsibility, Akali immediately shifted the rest of the blame.

“But he’s the one who caused this trouble!” Akali pointed at Kankuro.

"It's all because of this Sand Ninja. He kidnapped the Third Hokage's grandson and even tried to beat him up. Naruto couldn't stand it and clashed with him, which led to what happened next!"

"If you don't believe me..." Akali looked towards the distance: "Konohamaru, come here!"

"Me?" Konohamaru pointed to himself.

"Yes, it's you, little guy, come here quickly!"

Akali's eyes crinkled into crescents, her smile was absolutely perfect.

Akali's overwhelming friendliness captivated Konohamaru even on their first meeting!

Akali then continued, "Tell me, Konohamaru, was it that person who captured you?"

"That's right!" Konohamaru glanced at Kankuro and immediately nodded: "It's this bad guy!"

Konohamaru mimicked him, saying, "I admit I was wrong to run around in the street without looking where I was going and accidentally bump into someone, but that's no excuse for him to hit me!"

"Look at me, look at me! He's hurt me so badly!"

Konohamaru removed the towel from his neck and pointed to his smooth neck.

Believe it or not, although there were no obvious injuries, there were indeed marks on Konohamaru's neck where he had been grabbed by the collar and twisted!

Upon seeing this, Maki's face darkened: "Kankuro?"

"This..." Kankuro was stunned.

In Konohamaru's case, it's all his fault. While brats are certainly annoying, Konohamaru wasn't really that much of a brat.

Moreover, Kankuro never expected that when he walked down the street, he would be bumped into by a child, who turned out to be the grandson of the Third Hokage!

Such a coincidence made Kankuro suspect that the people from Konoha were deliberately trying to scam him!

Akali's actions suddenly made sense after Konohamaru's identity was revealed.

Even if the cause and effect don't necessarily correspond.

As for him being the son of the Fourth Kazekage, while Konohamaru was only the grandson of the Third Hokage?

This is truly different. First of all, how can a son be compared to a grandson? Furthermore, the Third Hokage controlled Konoha single-handedly.

And the Fourth Kazekage? A model of one person supporting an entire village, just a ruthless mining machine, really nothing special.

However, Kankuro obviously couldn't admit defeat so easily.

His eyes lit up, and a line imitating Akali's came out of his mouth.

“I admit, I was a bit rough, but that’s no excuse for her to fight us!”

However, Kankuro did not expect that upon hearing his words, Maki would suddenly let out a long sigh.

"I understand. This incident was due to my poor management of my subordinates. I apologize, Asumasan!"

Maki bowed to Asma.

"Haha, it's nothing!"

Asma scratched his head: "Akali's actions were a bit excessive. Everyone has some issues. In that case, let's just let it go!"

"Thank you all for your magnanimity. I will give Kankuro a good talking-to when I get back today!"

“As for this street!” Maki looked at the sand-covered street, then turned to Gaara: “Gaara, put your sand away!”

"Gaara?"

"I understand!" Gaara mustered his strength, gathered the yellow sand on the ground, and reformed it into his gourd.

As for the holes dug out by the yellow sand and the walls that were smashed, there's nothing that can be done about them.

So Maki continued to take responsibility: "This is Konoha's street, so please have Konoha find someone to repair it. However, you can give me the repair bill, and we Sand Village will cover it."

"Well then, everyone, I'll take my leave for now!"

Maki left with the Sand Ninja trio.

Watching the departing Sand Ninja, everyone finally relaxed. No one had expected things to develop to this point.

However, although Maki is gone, some things remain unresolved.

Kankuro did indeed take the blame for everything.

But whose fault is it today? Don't the Jonin understand?

Kurenai looked at Akali with a stern expression: "Akali, do you know what kind of crime it is to initiate a fight in the village and cause damage to the streets?"

"Fortunately, there were no civilian casualties today, otherwise you would have been in deep trouble!"

"Of course I know, Teacher Hong, you don't need to tell me!"

Akali's attitude was completely indifferent.

Seeing her like this, Hong was very angry.

But she quickly lost her temper because Akali continued, "That guy just now, the one called Gaara, is a Jinchuriki of the Sand Village!"

"I took the initiative to confirm my judgment."

"Unfortunately, my test was successful; he really is a Jinchūriki!"

"Right, Sasuke?"

Hearing Akali's words, Sasuke suddenly realized, "So, she's a Jinchuriki. That explains it!"

“Indeed!” Sasuke nodded to the Jonin. “I saw it. That guy had unusual chakra!”

"Is that so..." Kurenai and the others' expressions turned serious.

Judging from the strength of that Jinchuriki, he clearly couldn't be a Genin.

This makes the situation rather intriguing.

Kurenai and the others exchanged glances.

Ignoring Akali's situation, the three of them quickly headed towards the Hokage Building!
