Just seconds after Naruto finished eating the Devil Fruit, he instantly sensed a tremendous change occurring within his body.
An extremely powerful lightning-based energy surged through his limbs and bones in an instant.
At this moment, Naruto sensed the extremely powerful energy (of the king) within his body and slowly extended his right hand.
A thought came to my mind.
The next second, an extremely powerful blue arc of electricity was released from his palm.
"Sizzle!! Sizzle!!"
Hearing the sound of electric arcs colliding, Naruto smiled.
Only he knows the truth.
Never underestimate the blue arc of electricity in your hand.
The electricity it contains is enough to cause fatal damage to a ninja!
Can be imagined.
The energy contained within must be terrifying and horrifying!
however--
Just as Naruto was enjoying the power of the Rumble-Rumble Fruit.
On the streets of Konoha.
Kakashi was walking towards the direction where Naruto was fishing.
But his expression beneath the black mask was extremely solemn.
"I never expected that the Akatsuki organization, which had been dormant for a year, would become active again."
"It seems they haven't given up on capturing the tailed beasts."

river bank.
Naruto played with the lightning power he had condensed in his hand for a while before contentedly withdrawing it back into his body.
Just as he was about to continue fishing, he instantly sensed Kakashi's arrival.
Immediately, he turned his head, a sunny smile spreading across his handsome face, and greeted him.
"Kakashi-sensei is here."
"Naruto," Kakashi replied, quickly walking over.
When he reached Naruto, he hesitated for a moment before speaking, "Um... Naruto..."
When Naruto saw Kakashi's serious expression, he scratched his head and asked curiously, "Hmm? What's wrong?"
Upon hearing this, Kakashi thought for a moment, then took a deep breath, his face beneath the black mask revealing a serious expression, and said in a deep voice, "Do you still remember the Akatsuki organization that attacked Konoha a year ago, trying to capture you?"
"Of course I remember." Naruto nodded and asked:
"Could it be... that the Akatsuki organization, which has been dormant for a year, has resurfaced?"
"Is he here to cause me trouble again?"
"But... this is fine too."
"They managed to escape last time."
This must be resolved completely!
"To prevent future troubles!!"
At this point, Naruto felt a surge of anticipation.
After all, he had just obtained the Rumble-Rumble Fruit and needed someone to practice on.
Now that the Akatsuki organization has come looking for us, it would be good to test the feel of the Rumble-Rumble Fruit.
As he pondered this, Kakashi, standing beside him, couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth beneath his black mask a few times upon hearing it.
really!
When someone possesses absolute power, their words become incredibly sharp!
And he could tell.
Naruto genuinely didn't take the incredibly mysterious Akatsuki organization seriously.
I'm afraid only Naruto in the entire ninja world could talk about taking down the Akatsuki organization so easily.
Kakashi then shook his head and said, "Naruto, the Akatsuki didn't come to arrest you this time."
"No?" Upon hearing this, Naruto's face showed a hint of disappointment.
"..." Kakashi's lips twitched again upon seeing this. What kind of expression was that?
You seem quite disappointed that the Akatsuki members didn't come looking for trouble?
At this moment, Kakashi continued, "Temari from Sunagakure just came to Konoha. She found Lady Tsunade and explained her purpose."
"Gaara, the Fifth Kazekage of Sunagakure, has been captured by the Akatsuki!!"
Upon hearing this, Naruto raised an eyebrow slightly.
How could the Akatsuki have captured Gaara so quickly?
In his memory.
According to the timeline in the original work.
It was only after Naruto and Jiraiya returned from their two and a half years of training that the Akatsuki attacked Sunagakure.
But the fact that they acted ahead of schedule surprised him a little.
After thinking for a while, Naruto narrowed his eyes and came to a conclusion.
It's highly likely that the timeline in the original story was altered, which is why the Akatsuki captured Gaara ahead of schedule.
Naruto felt that this conclusion was reasonable.
At that moment, Kakashi's voice rang out again.
"Naruto, our Team 7 has received a new mission: to snatch Gaara from the Akatsuki."
Naruto showed no surprise when he heard the details of the mission.
Although the timeline for Akatsuki's capture of Gaara has been moved forward, the mission to seize Gaara remains unchanged.
but--
Naruto, on the other hand, didn't care.
Anyway, he had just obtained the Rumble-Rumble Fruit, and all he needed was someone to practice on.
Now that the incident of stealing Gaara has been brought forward, Naruto has chosen to let things take their course.
Having figured this out, Naruto nodded and then asked, "Okay, when do we set off?"
Upon hearing this, Kakashi replied, "Kankuro and the Sand Ninja are currently pursuing the Akatsuki members. Let's set off immediately!"
"Let's try to snatch Gaara from the Akatsuki as soon as possible."
"Temari is waiting at the gates of Konoha."
"Let's go."
"Temari..." Naruto narrowed his eyes and muttered to himself.
Immediately after Naruto finished packing his fishing gear, he followed Kakashi towards the gates of Konoha.
at the same time.
The Land of Wind, within the territory of Sunagakure Village.
A cliffside.
Two men dressed in red auspicious cloud costumes gazed at the cave entrance blocked by huge rocks.
At this moment, one of the men, a blond man with a small braid, spoke up: "Brother Scorpion, we've arrived, hmm."
"Xiao Di, let's go." Scorpion nodded and replied.
The two then walked toward the huge spherical rock in front of them.
At the same time, as they walked, a gigantic, entirely white bird flew behind Deidara!
however--
Take a closer look.
Inside the giant bird's beak lay the unconscious Fifth Kazekage of Sunagakure, Gaara!
Soon, Deidara and Sasori arrived in front of the giant rock.
Deidara stared at the boulder blocking the cave entrance, his hands forming a mudra.
"untie!!!"
The next moment, a series of muffled sounds rang out.
"Boom!!!!"
The giant boulder, several meters high, is slowly rising.
Soon, the cave entrance appeared.
"let's go."
Scorpion glanced at his teammates, then went inside first.
After they entered the cave, the boulder that had been raised slowly descended, blocking the cave entrance again.
In the dark and damp cave, the only source of light was a sliver of light that peeked out from the cracks in the boulders at the cave entrance.
Just as Sasori and Deidara had gone a short distance, they saw a man with a flickering afterimage coming towards them.
The most striking feature of the illusory man was, of course, his pair of purple Rinnegan eyes!
