Chapter 208: Ch.208 Gathering
Inside the barbecue restaurant.
"Naruto, did you really get kidnapped by the Akatsuki?"
Chōji asked, chewing on grilled meat, his words coming out indistinctly.
As he asked, the other classmates all put down their chopsticks and looked at Naruto, who was also eating a big mouthful of meat.
Although everyone present was still a shinobi school student, most of them came from shinobi clans—some were from bloodline limit families, and others from clans with secret techniques, which meant they all had access to insider information.
The news of Naruto being kidnapped by the Akatsuki was still a secret to ordinary villagers, but many of them had already heard about it, even if it hadn't been confirmed.
So when Chōji brought it up, everyone turned their gaze to Naruto.
Naruto scratched his head, "Why is everyone staring at me? Alright, alright, it's true, that happened."
Sakura asked curiously, "I heard the Akatsuki members are all S-rank criminals. Why did they want to kidnap you?"
"How would I know!"
Naruto pouted.
