The temptation to return to the village is a bit strong.
We have only been away for two days, but it feels like half a month has passed.
When I returned to the village, I thought about it,
Suddenly, disturbing thoughts came to my mind.
Sasuke How is that guy Mangekyō Sharingan driving?
Sakura, that girl, has her "new style of play" love strategy made any breakthrough with Sasuke?
What about Kakashi-sensei and Sister Huahua?
How is the progress of the long-distance love race between these two adults?
Also,
Thinking of Hinata's fair face that flushed red whenever she came near and dodges her small eyes,
Naruto The corner of his mouth unconsciously evoked a mischievous smile.
Well, I kind of want to tease her.
go home!
The thought is certain, and the return is as fast as an arrow!
"Wha—!"
When I got home, the flashing speed of Naruto was suddenly 0.02 milliseconds faster than usual.
Several consecutive high-speed flashes caused the strong wind to almost stir up smoke and dust!
However,
This time he did not go directly into the village as usual, but appeared on the road outside Konoha.
This time, he wants to enter Earth Flow through the main entrance of Konoha openly and openly!
I want the old man in Hokage's Office to see clearly:
He Uzumaki Naruto is back!
Walking on the road back to the village, Naruto keenly sensed something was wrong.
Konoha is extremely busy today.
The number of ninjas coming in and out of the village was far higher than usual, and most of them were in a hurry, obviously rushing to various urgent tasks!
He suppressed the questions in his mind and strode towards the entrance of the village.
At the gate, a familiar combination came into view.
It's Team Ten!
"Wow! Naruto-kun!"
Naruto just raised a hearty smile and was about to greet Teuchi with Shikamaru and Choji, when he heard Ino shouting in surprise!
The next second,
Under Naruto's astonished gaze, under Shikamaru's sigh of "I knew it", under Choji's wide eyes,
Ino is like a pink cannonball, opening its arms and rushing towards Naruto!
Her goal is clear—please give her a hug!
then
There was a "pop" sound,
Naruto reached out his right hand like lightning and touched Ino's forehead with great precision.
sisters! So unfamiliar!
Ino's passionate expression froze on his face.
It was as if a restraining spell had been cast on her whole body, her body leaned forward, her arms still in an encircling position, and was firmly fixed in place by Naruto's hand, unable to move.
Ino was pressed on his forehead, and his fair cheeks instantly turned red. He was embarrassed and anxious!
"Idiot Naruto! Let go!"
She waved her hands in the air reluctantly, like an overturned crab, "Let me go and hug you! Just for a moment!"
Unfortunately, no matter how hard she scratched, the short distance was like a chasm, and Naruto's arm did not move at all.
Facing Ino who was suddenly so enthusiastic, Naruto was really confused.
He leaned over,
Looking past Ino, a pair of blue eyes cast a searching gaze on Shikamaru and Choji behind them.
Yes,
The expressions of these two people didn't seem to be surprised by Ino's behavior?
"She actually took action!" Shikamaru put one hand on his forehead.
in memory,
After being divided into classes, and knowing that the two of them were friends of Naruto, Ino began to ask for news about Naruto.
After Forest of Death, Shikamaru can often hear her muttering, hesitating between Naruto and Sasuke.
After Chunin Ninja Exams, she muttered something again: Sasuke, give it to Sakura, I will choose Naruto!
Then, today's scene appeared.
He put his arm on Choji and leaned against him, looking like he was watching a good show.
"Naruto seems to be very popular with girls?" Seeing this, Choji sighed.
When he was in the village recently, he could always hear girls discussing Uzumaki Naruto.
Why!
When will a plump man like him usher in spring?
"Popular with girls?"
Shikamaru had a headache when he heard about this kind of thing. Just imagining the scene made him shudder. "Women, what a troublesome thing!"
Choji didn't answer the call, took out a bag of potato chips and started eating them directly!
"Do you want to eat?" After taking a piece, he handed it to Shikamaru.
Shikamaru lazily reached out and picked up a piece.
Just like that, the two people stood side by side in tacit understanding, eating melon!
This scene!
You can see the veins on Naruto's forehead "popping"!
Not a buddy?
Did you two just start chatting? Still eating melon?
Help me!
Are we still good brothers after all? Plastic bromance, huh?
Seeing that "foreign aid" was completely hopeless, Naruto withdrew his gaze and focused on Ino in front of him.
Seeing that he could not make any progress, Ino decisively changed his offensive.
The hands no longer seek to hug Naruto, but embrace Naruto's arms.
"Hehe!"
She tried her best to put on what she thought was the sweetest and most charming smile, and it also came with a powerful wink!
"Naruto-kun~" The voice was so sweet, "Do you like girls to be fatter? Or thinner?"
It's a pity,
This electricity can't reach Naruto.
Yesterday, he had just had a close encounter with the most beautiful woman and man in the world, and Ino couldn't even make a single ripple in his heart.
Wait, is this the reason why Kirigakure was so cruel to the Yuki Clan?
Naruto suppressed the urge to complain, but raised his eyebrows slightly, and symbolically swept his eyes around Ino.
Catching Naruto's gaze, Ino immediately showed off her graceful posture, showing off her beauty.
This set of actions left Naruto speechless.
You little bean sprout, what's so cool about your figure?
However,
In order to escape as soon as possible, Naruto decided to give a "constructive" opinion.
He considered his speech and said, "Well, it's better to be plump."
"Really?"
Ino's eyes light up. It's been very difficult to diet recently.
"Of course," Naruto said with an extremely serious expression, "I always feel like you are so skinny now, I can cut you off with just one punch."
".?"
The smile on Ino's face turned to stone instantly!
Yes. Is that so?
Taking advantage of the moment when she was shocked and stunned by this "fatal care", Naruto withdrew her arm like lightning.
In one swift step, he jumped in front of the "melon-eating duo".
"Hey! You two are so unethical! Are you just watching a show like this?" Naruto's eyes twitched as he pointed at the unfinished potato chips in their hands.
"If a girl chases you, shouldn't you be troubled by your happiness?"
"How happy you are!" Naruto's forehead was covered with dense black lines.
With quick eyes and quick hands, he snatched the last potato chip from Choji's hand, put it into his mouth and chewed it loudly, as if venting his anger!
After eating the potato chips, I felt a little relieved.
Naruto looked around and said strangely, "By the way, why did you come out alone? Where is Teacher Asuma?"
A trace of surprise flashed across Shikamaru's face, "He went on a mission alone. There were only three of us in the team on this mission."
Shikamaru thinks Naruto's question is very strange. Doesn't he know that the current tasks in the village have been delayed a lot because of Orochimaru's "Konoha Collapse Plan"?
Everyone has to be busy doing tasks.
Taking a closer look at Naruto, it didn't look like it was dusty or had been outside for two days.
By the way, Naruto will be Flying Thunder God.
Then why did it appear outside the village?
Wouldn't it be better to just go back to the village?
Shikamaru draws a simple conclusion from this: Naruto has not been in the village at all these two days!
Why?
Forget it, don't think about it anymore, it's too much trouble!
"That's it." Naruto nodded and sighed, about to say something.
"That's a lot!" Ino's resentful voice came from behind.
Naruto suddenly got goosebumps, "Ahem, I have something else to do. See you later!"
He spoke quickly, and before he finished speaking, he slipped away.
Ino rushed over without even catching a hair.
"Hmph! Naruto Why is he running away? Am I so scary?" Ino stamped his feet angrily.
She looked at the melon-eating duo, her eyes more questioning than inquiring.
Shikamaru two people are speechless, he is just a melon-eater!
"Women are so troublesome!"
On the other side, Naruto walked through the door swaggeringly.
The village seemed to be no different from before, but Chakra sensed that several Anbu who had discovered his whereabouts had already rushed to Hokage Building.
He wandered aimlessly, his eyes scanning the familiar streets.
suddenly!
A white-haired man with his head lowered and focused, almost burying his face in Make-Out Paradise, crashed into his field of vision!
"Hey, isn't this Kakashi-sensei? I haven't seen him in a few days, but he still looks so decadent and handsome!" Naruto walked over with a narrow smile on his face.
Kakashi put down the book, revealing his iconic dead fish eyes.
Seeing Naruto, a light flashed in his dead fish eyes.
Are you back?
It seems that the situation is not out of control yet.
"That's right! Kakashi-sensei."
Naruto seemed to suddenly remember something, dug around behind his back, took out the box, and said, "Land of Hot Water special product! Top-quality scented bath salt! Very fragrant. For you and Sister Huahua."
Kakashi took it in shock.
Before he could say anything,
Whoosh~
A Anbu Body Flicker Technique arrived and landed accurately next to the two of them.
It was a woman with purple hair.
Naruto recognized it at a glance. This was the one who appeared after everyone Forest of Death.
She glanced at Kakashi, first nodded slightly in greeting, and then her eyes were like lightning, locked on Naruto, her voice was cold and unquestionable.
"Uzumaki Naruto, Lord Hokage summoned! Go immediately!"
"Summoned?"
Naruto plucked his ears exaggeratedly and curled his lips and said, "If you don't want to go, let Hokage come and see me in person!"
?
The two were stunned for a moment.
"Naruto!"
Kakashi called out, the voice was flat, no warning could be seen, but it was like a gentle tug on an invisible thread.
"Haha, it's just a joke! Liven up the atmosphere!" Naruto glanced at him to show him a favor.
"Kakashi-sensei, see you tonight!"
Saying goodbye, Naruto struck the purple-haired Anbu with lightning speed.
Flying Thunder God Formula activates instantly!
In front of Hokage Building, the air fluctuated slightly, and the figures of Naruto and Uzuki Yugao suddenly appeared!
Uzuki Yugao, who was brought over, was still in a daze for a while.
Naruto's movements were too fast, and she didn't react at all.
When I felt someone pat my arm, the next moment I felt an uncontrollable twisting feeling.
In the blink of an eye, it's here.
Is this. Flying Thunder God?
Uzuki Yugao was stunned, his black eyes filled with incredible shock!
"Sister, lead the way." Naruto had a harmless smile on his face.
What I did just now was just to express my attitude, why bother the ordinary Anbu who was conveying the message.
"Oh, oh, yes!"
Uzuki Yugao suddenly came to his senses, suppressed the turmoil in his heart, and quickly regained his composure Anbu, "Please follow me!"
Naruto was led forward.
This time, the meeting place with Third Hokage was no longer Hokage's Office, but in the same room as Hokage Building, located next to Hokage's Office.
This room is not large, with two rows of light green sofas facing each other, and a small table in the middle of the sofas.
Dong Dong~
"Come in!"
Third Hokage Hiruzen Sarutobi's familiar and slightly tired voice came through the thick wooden door.
Squeak~
As the door opened, Naruto looked inside.
The room is not big, but the atmosphere is extremely solemn.
In addition to sitting on the main sofa, Third Hokage Hiruzen Sarutobi has taken off his Hokage hat, revealing his signature pale hair.
On the sofas on his left and right sides, there were two figures who exuded a strong "old antique" atmosphere!
One is an old man wearing glasses and a beard.
The other was an old woman with a stooped body and almost no eyes.
Naruto had never seen these two people before, so he guessed they were consultants or something like that.
"Naruto, are you back from vacation?"
Hiruzen Sarutobi had a kind smile on his face, "Are you having fun?"
"Yeah."
Facing the enthusiasm of the old man Hokage, Naruto had no expression on his face and squeezed out a syllable from his nasal cavity as a greeting.
He exudes an almost substantive cold aura!
Passing over the purple-haired Anbu who was leading the way, he went straight to the sofa and sat down comfortably facing the three of them.
Uzuki Yugao was shocked and puzzled. Is this how Naruto responded to Lord Hokage's greeting?
Is this right?
Mitokado Homura frowned instantly, and Utatane Koharu's cloudy old eyes that were about to open also flashed with a sharp look. Is this like the attitude of a Konoha ninja towards Hokage?
Arrogant!
I don't know how high the sky is and how high it is!
Minato Namikaze How could he give birth to such a rude son?
After all, the two of them are mature people. Thinking of Naruto's identity and strength, they originally wanted to say something, but in the end they swallowed it down.
"Ahem!"
Hiruzen Sarutobi coughed twice to ease the atmosphere, "Yugao, please go out first."
"Yes! Lord Hokage!"
Uzuki Yugao, as if he had been pardoned, immediately bowed and exited, and gently closed the door.
There were only four people left in the room.
The air seemed to be drained away, leaving only suffocating silence.
Naruto still maintains that lazy posture, his blue eyes are calm and calm, like a bottomless cold pool, quietly watching the three people opposite.
Chakra sensed that the three of them had no pure ill will toward him.
The two consultants may be using him as a tool.
But the old man Hokage was sincere to him.
But, public and private, how can they be confused?
He Naruto is now negotiating with Konoha's Hokage Hiruzen Sarutobi, not Hiruzen Sarutobi!
"Naruto! I still remember you when you were a child."
Hiruzen Sarutobi finally broke the silence, started chatting directly from Naruto's childhood, and started playing the emotional card.
Naruto was completely unmoved and just watched quietly.
Hiruzen Sarutobi said with a dry mouth, from Naruto's childhood embarrassments to Naruto's parents, from Minato Namikaze to Will of Fire.
The words are sincere and the emotions are sincere.
Trying to use the warmth of the past and the heavy responsibility to stir the softness in Naruto's heart.
However,
"Old man Hokage, are you done?"
Naruto finally spoke, and he said bluntly, "Now that we've finished talking, come up with your conditions!"
Hiruzen Sarutobi The smile on his face froze.
His wrinkled hands trembled slightly.
This.
The three of them looked at each other and felt that it was quite difficult. Finally, Mitokado Homura took a deep breath and slowly took out a scroll that had been prepared for a long time!
Naruto picked up the scroll expressionlessly and looked at it carefully.
There are many conditions, but the main ones are summarized by Naruto as follows:
1. Promise Sixth Hokage throne.
2. Compensation: up to 1.5 billion taels.
3. Land in the village: choose any open space! Funded by Konoha to build a residence that meets the requirements!
The other two are okay, just this second one.
1.5 billion taels? Called Delia!
I see that you have no sincerity at all!
"Tsk tsk tsk"
Naruto gently put down the scroll, his eyes swept over the three people who were looking forward to it, and finally landed on Hiruzen Sarutobi.
"Hiruzen! This little money makes it difficult for me to do things!" Naruto's voice was so calm that no emotion or anger could be heard.
"Presumptuous!"
"Be bold!"
Mitokado Homura and Utatane Koharu started shooting almost at the same time!
The two old faces turned red with extreme anger and humiliation.
Hiruzen?!
A twelve-year-old brat! How dare you call Hokage by his first name?!
Their skinny fingers pointed at Naruto tremblingly, and they were about to scream harshly.
"Enough!"
Hiruzen Sarutobi shouted loudly!
The two of them turned their heads in shock and saw Hiruzen Sarutobi's old face, shaking his head to signal them to be silent.
Naruto saw all this, but there was no wave in his heart.
With this little money, it's a good thing that I didn't call you three Lao Deng!
He still had the same goal as before, never making conditions himself, but letting three people make conditions.
As long as he is not satisfied, deny it!
Until you are satisfied!
With this in mind, in order to continue to exert pressure, Naruto once again released a bombshell news.
"This time I went out to relax and took a look at Land of Lightning. I just happened to catch up with them and they suffered a big disaster! That's a tragedy!"
He changed the subject, "As a result, the elders in their village were crying and holding my legs and refusing to let me go! What did they say:
'Lord Naruto! Please stay and be our Raikage! '
'Only you can save Kumogakure! '"
Having said this, Naruto's eyes once again fell on the three people who were full of doubts, "I said no, how can I, a Konoha ninja, become Raikage of Kumogakure?"
"But they paid too much!"
Naruto's words, Hiruzen Sarutobi, who originally only dared to believe 10%, suddenly lost his composure.
He said in surprise, "You agreed?"
"Ahem, not at the moment, I just said to go back and think about it!"
The three of them breathed a sigh of relief.
"Naruto!"
Hiruzen Sarutobi advised earnestly, "There is something you may not know. In fact, when your mother was young, she was kidnapped by Kumogakure. If your father hadn't discovered it in time, the consequences would have been disastrous!!!"
When he said this, Hiruzen Sarutobi stared at Naruto's expression with a pair of cloudy old eyes.
He believed that this blood feud related to his mother was enough to make any passionate young man wake up!
However, Naruto looked indifferent.
There was even a slight curve in the corner of his mouth, as if he had discovered something interesting.
"Oh? Is this the case? I know!"
Under the suddenly frozen gazes of the three people opposite him, he slowly added:
"But I have forgiven them a long time ago!"
