The first stop, Naruto was decided on Gaara's territory, Sand Hidden Ninja Village.
According to the information, his good friend Gaara has now become the village chief of Sand Hidden Ninja Village.
——Oh, no, it should be Fifth Kazekage.
·It seems that this friend of mine is the same as my identity in Konoha. He is a well-matched friend.
In a few days, Naruto and his party borrowed the road from Amegakure to go to Hidden Sand.
As for the reason for doing this, Nagato wanted to take a look at Konan. Of course, Naruto chose adult beauty.
I met Konan in Amegakure. After a big battle, Amegakure gathered the remaining ninjas. Because after losing Akatsuki's 'dream' to move forward, the whole Amegakure seemed to become calmer.
Konan also obeyed Naruto's instructions and started the refining of Explosive Tag. As for the materials for refining Explosive Tag and the issue of sales, Naruto asked Konan to connect with Shikamaru.
The burden on Shikamaru has become a little heavier. However, after this experience, he has become more and more mature in his work, considers it very thoughtfully, and tends to develop on Naruto's side - he is now an excellent Hokage assistant.
Nagato and Konan got together for just one day, and Naruto urged Nagato to leave, because if Nagato was here, it would affect the progress of Konan's production of Explosive Tag.
Shikamaru has signed orders with various countries. If the order cannot be completed on time, Konoha will breach the contract, and breach of contract will require liquidated damages.
Overall, time is money.
Entering the realm of Land of Wind, who is also one of Five Great Nations, along the way, Naruto almost discovered the character of Nagato.
Nagato doesn't talk much and is even a bit boring.
Along the way, he discussed Reanimation Jutsu's problems with Sasuke. Maybe his 'dream' was shattered, and this is all he can do now.
At noon on the fourth day, Naruto finally met Gaara, Temari, Kankuro, Baki and others again at Hidden Sand.
Naruto As Fifth Hokage of Konoha, Gaara received Naruto's group with Hidden Sand's highest hospitality rules, not only finding the best accommodation for them.
At noon that day, we were also in a luxurious hotel, which was reserved.
Gaara knew that Naruto had a huge appetite, so he generously booked the entire luxury hotel so that all the chefs in the hotel could exclusively serve Naruto.
Anyway, Mr. Gaara will pay for today's orders.
Such extravagant means are not just because Gaara is the Kazekage item of Hidden Sand, so you can spend money randomly, it is because, Gaara's father, Rasa, was a good gold player. After his death, his Gold Dust was, of course, inherited by Gaara.
So, this is a story of succession.
Gaara seemed very happy to see Naruto again, and immediately gave Naruto a big hug.
As soon as they hugged him, Gaara regretted it, because his height only reached Naruto's chest, which looked very awkward.
In the luxury hotel, the waiters served a variety of delicious dishes in an endless stream. Naruto looked at the large table of dishes and thought to himself: Gaara is indeed my friend, he understands me so well.
Thinking of this, Naruto looked at Gaara. Gaara was wearing a Kazekage robe. He looked very energetic, and his panda eyes seemed to be far away from Gaara.
Being looked at carefully by Naruto, Gaara seemed a little embarrassed, thinking that there were rice particles stuck to his face when he was eating. Immediately, he took out the small mirror Naruto gave him, took a look, and found that there were no rice particles on his face.
He looked at Naruto and asked curiously, "Naruto, there is nothing on my face, what are you looking at me for?"
Naruto looked at the small mirror he put back in his pocket and asked, "Do you still keep this small mirror?"
"Of course." Gaara said, "This is a gift from you Naruto. How could I throw it away? I always carry it with me."
Gaara It goes without saying that Naruto is his first friend, and he is also Naruto, who lets him know what the warmth of friendship is, and also teaches him that if you try to accept feelings, life may become better.
It is true that now, his life has become much more positive, and his relationship with his brothers and sisters, Temari and Kankuro, has also become warmer.
He felt the feeling of family, a feeling that Gaara could not feel in the past when Rasa was around.
He enjoyed this feeling.
Therefore, for Naruto, Gaara is a friend who truly recognizes her from the bottom of her heart, and is a friend of great significance. Of course, Gaara will always carry a small gift with her from such a valued friend.
Even sometimes late at night, when the figure of Naruto suddenly flashes in Gaara's mind, Gaara will take out a small mirror to look at things and think about people.
Hearing Gaara's explanation, Naruto smiled. This is the feeling of being cared about by a friend. He returned to the question he wanted to ask before, "Gaara, I feel that as Kazekage, you have become more energetic, and there are no dark circles in your eyes anymore."
Gaara nodded, looked at Naruto gratefully, and said, "I have to thank you Naruto for this. If you weren't at Konoha, Shukaku gave him a good beating, and he was completely honest. Whenever he wants to cause trouble, I will use you to threaten him. The effect is really good, Shukaku has become extremely honest, and I can naturally ensure good quality sleep."
"You used to think that I had giant panda eyes, which was why Shukaku caused trouble. I often couldn't sleep well."
"So that's it." Naruto nodded suddenly.
Next, Naruto reminisced about old times with teachers Temari, Kankuro, Baki and others.
Temari and Kankuro are also very happy for the arrival of Naruto. Because of Naruto's identity change, they both respectfully call Naruto Lord Hokage.
Regarding such an unfamiliar title, Naruto immediately expressed his displeasure.
Immediately, Temari and Kankuro were all excited and started calling Naruto's name again, saying no more.
Kankuro Even Kankuro himself felt strange about Naruto's change of mentality. When Konoha was doing Chunin Ninja Exams, Kankuro was the first one who was forced to become Naruto's friend.
Although he had to be happy at that time, he still felt a little unhappy.
Until the end, everyone became Naruto's friends, and Kankuro never felt unhappy again.
After that, his younger brother also became Naruto's friend and was influenced by Naruto. From then on, Gaara's temperament changed drastically and he actually respected Kankuro. He would never say that he would kill him again as before.
Kankuro At this point, I started to feel that Naruto is a good friend.
Temari and Naruto inquired about Shikamaru Nara's current situation. Temari developed a good impression of Shikamaru Nara, the boy who was conducting sampling surveys among the sheep.
When she learned that Shikamaru was now Hokage's assistant, holding a large part of the power and controlling Konoha's financial business, Temari was immediately extremely happy. At that time, she felt that this young man was extraordinary.
Now it seems that Shikamaru is indeed extraordinary. Of course, this also confirms my vision from the side, which is also very good.
"If Temari goes to Konoha, Shikamaru will definitely be very happy." Naruto said.
Finally, Naruto chatted with teacher Baki. Although Baki had to be happy on his face, he was still a little awkward in his heart. He was the teacher of Gaara and others in the previous generation, and he actually became friends with Naruto at the same time, which made Baki a little awkward.
At the same time, Baki also had an ominous premonition. He always felt that Naruto came to Hidden Sand with some kind of premeditation.
Next, what Naruto said to Gaara instantly made Baki think where that ominous premonition came from.
"Gaara, do you know what my dream is?"
Gaara nodded and said, "I know, you once told me that your dream is to make friends, make many, many friends."
Gaara clearly remembers what Naruto said.
"It's great that you still remember. Yes, my dream is to make friends. Now, the villagers of Konoha and many others have become my friends. However, my dream has not been completely realized. It can only be said that I have taken a small step, and there is still a big step to complete."
"I came here this time just to make friends in Kirigakure. I think I can become good friends with the ninjas and villagers in Kirigakure." Naruto showed a hint of excitement on his face.
Sasuke and Kurama looked at each other with excited expressions. They made an agreement in their hearts at the same time that when Naruto made friends, they must bring drinks and melon seeds to watch.
However, Naruto's words made Baki's heart skip a beat. Sure enough, Naruto's conspiracy was this. If, as he said, he had become friends with everyone in Kirigakure, wouldn't it mean that from now on, Kirigakure's power would almost become his Naruto's.
After all, if a friend is in trouble, who would just watch and not choose to take action?
This is a conspiracy, this is an upright conspiracy.
Baki thought of this and immediately looked at Gaara, frantically giving Gaara a look.
Nagato next to him is concentrating on his meal. He has become numb to Naruto's making friends. Such a small dream is not worthy of his attention.
He saw Baki blinking wildly and asked, "Baki, what's wrong with your eyes?"
Gaara, who was sitting next to Naruto, did not notice Baki's eyes. He understood Naruto's words and said happily, "Naruto, I understand. What you mean is that you want me to introduce you to your friends."
"There's sand in my eyes." When Baki heard Gaara's words, he suddenly became depressed, picked up a chicken drumstick, and stuffed it into his mouth.
He needs to be happy now and not be discovered by Naruto, otherwise he will have to become friends again. And food can often bring people a sense of satisfaction.
Naruto was very pleased with Gaara's inferences. He nodded and said, "Yes, Gaara, after all, you are Hidden Sand's Kazekage project. Here, you have connections and it is more convenient. I leave it to you, Gaara, to introduce new friends."
Naruto was so polite that Gaara felt a little uncomfortable. However, Gaara also felt Naruto's respect for his dream from Naruto's politeness.
He nodded immediately and said, "No problem, I'll take care of everything."
Next, it was meal time. Naruto let go of his stomach. In an instant, the chefs in the kitchen were all very busy.
After eating, Gaara took Naruto and his party to the residence he arranged. The conditions of the residence were also of the highest standards, making it the best residence for Hidden Sand.
After the arrangements were made, Gaara asked Naruto to take a rest, and he immediately went to arrange for the ninjas here at Hidden Sand to get to know Naruto.
Gaara left with Baki and others. Nagato immediately took Sasuke to the tea room and started studying Reanimation Jutsu again.
Naruto, on the other hand, was playing with Kurama in the back garden.
"Naruto, when you make friends, I also want to see you." Kurama ran wildly in the back garden, suddenly jumped on Naruto's shoulder and said.
"No problem." Naruto said.
"Wow, I'm really looking forward to it!" Kurama said.
"Yeah, I'm looking forward to it." Naruto also responded.
He is really looking forward to it. This is his first stop out of Konoha and towards Ninja World to make friends. In the future, he will go to other countries to make friends with other Ninja Villages.
It's all very exciting.
And here, Gaara brought Baki and others to the gourd-shaped Kazekage Tower. Kazekage Tower is not the only one with this shape. Land of Wind, the other buildings are almost all circular.
This peculiar architectural style is due to the climate problem here, because Land of Wind winds and sands are relatively large, and round buildings can better withstand winds and sands.
However, in most big countries, the buildings are almost circular. Hokage Building is also a circular building.
Arriving at Kazekage's Office, this place was originally the office of Rasa, the father of Gaara. Now, it has become the office of Gaara.
As soon as he came to the office, he planned to fulfill his promise to Naruto and ask some ninjas to gather in front of Kazekage Tower and make friends with Naruto.
However, Baki held him back.
Seeing Baki's problem of speaking no more, Gaara asked, "Teacher Baki, is something wrong?"
After being influenced by Naruto, Gaara understands a lot of emotions, so now even if he becomes Hidden Sand's Kazekage target, he treats his teacher Baki and supports him to become Kazekage's target Baki. Gaara still calls him his teacher with respect.
Baki looked at Temari, and Kankuro, and said, "Temari, Kankuro, Lord Kazekage and I have something to say, you guys go out first."
Temari and Kankuro looked at their younger brother Fifth Kazekage Gaara, and saw Gaara nodded. Temari and Kankuro left Kazekage's Office, and even closed the office door for them thoughtfully.
In this way, Teacher Baki can talk with confidence.
After Temari and Kankuro left, Baki finally spoke to Gaara, with a hint of worry on his face.
"Lord Kazekage..."
