Naruto: I Want to Be a Good Person

Konan woke up in bed, her eyes half-closed. The curtains were drawn, making it impossible to tell whether it was day or night, and Obito Uchiha still hadn't appeared.

I spend my days in my room just spacing out and sleeping. Having gone through a life-or-death experience, those memories always unconsciously flash back into my mind.

Yahiko's dream is to change the world, Nagato's dream is peace, so what is her own dream? Konan rolled over and curled up.

She couldn't say what her dream was. When she was little, maybe she just wanted to have enough to eat. Later, she hoped for peace, and then she hoped to change the world.

Now she just wants to go back to the past, to not think about anything else, just that the people around her are alive. She just wants everyone to live, to live well.

As she thought about it, a tear rolled down her cheek.

Bang, bang, bang! There was a knock on the door.

Konan snapped out of her daze and immediately composed herself. She got up and opened the door. But as soon as she opened the door, Naruto outside reached out and covered her mouth, causing her to freeze abruptly.

Naruto's eyes were serious. He covered her mouth with one hand and put his index finger to his lips with the other, making a shushing gesture to signal her to be quiet.

"He's here, hide well." He silently mouthed the words, gently pushed Konan, and pointed to the wardrobe, indicating that she should hide inside.

The Rinnegan isn't X-ray vision, Obito Uchiha couldn't sense Konan's Chakra. Konan immediately tensed up and instinctively tiptoed into the closet.

Naruto slammed the door shut behind him, closed his eyes, and sensed Obito Uchiha Chakra rapidly approaching him. His entire body relaxed, and his expression instantly returned to calm.

I'm not afraid of him coming, I'm afraid of him not coming.

It's very close.

Knock knock knock.

Naruto was drinking water in the living room when he was taken aback. This guy actually chose to knock on the front door? That's just like Itachi Uchiha's habit, damn it.

He put down the glass, walked unhurriedly to the door, and opened it with a click.

Outside the door, Obito Uchiha travel-worn, wearing an oval mask with black and white rings on his face. His only visible eye gleamed with a cold light, and he glanced at Naruto the moment he opened the door.

Naruto also revealed a ferocious smile, his aura no less imposing, coldly staring at Obito Uchiha.

"Obito Uchiha, your mother died, so how come you're still alive?"

"Naruto Uzumaki, your mouth is still as foul as ever." Obito stared at him, his emotions unwavering. "I've obtained the Rinnegan. Let's begin."

"Now?" Naruto glanced at him. "Let me change my clothes?"

"Time is short, I don't think it's necessary." Obito Uchiha said calmly, pointing to the door. "Let's go, I don't need to invite you, do I?"

"Since we both know each other's weaknesses, there's no need for further discussion. As long as Lin is resurrected, everything is negotiable, unless you cooperate."

Obito Uchiha didn't say anything more, but his meaning was quite clear. If Naruto didn't cooperate, Obito would target his weakness.

As for Naruto's weaknesses, they are naturally Ino and Hinata.

Naruto's expression changed. He wanted nothing more than to chop the creature in front of him to pieces, but then he felt that would be too easy on him. He clenched his fist, then released it, and a smile appeared on his face.

"Let's go then."

Upon hearing Obito Uchiha turned around and went downstairs.

He obtained the Rinnegan, and a surge of power coursed through his body like a tidal wave. He possessed an extremely high sensitivity to the slightest movement around him, and naturally, he wasn't afraid of Naruto plotting against him from behind.

Naruto changed his shoes and went out, closing the door behind him as he left.

With a bang, the living room fell silent instantly. Konan stood motionless in the closet, her heart pounding, afraid to make the slightest sound.

The plan had been finalized; if someone acted rashly without thinking, the plan would be meaningless. Konan was well aware of her responsibility and did not act impulsively.

She didn't come out immediately, but waited a few minutes before slowly taking a step. The moment her toes touched the ground, Konan calmly and smoothly completed the task she had envisioned in her mind.

He took out Anbu clothes from the closet, quickly changed into them, and went out through the unlocked window.

Night falls.

Naruto followed Obito Uchiha outside, the moonlight spilling onto the ground. Obito Uchiha very quietly, and both of them concealed their presence so as not to alert the Anbu.

"Where are we going?" he asked.

"The edge of the Forest of the Land of Fire," Obito said without turning his head.

"Heh, you villains are really interesting, all of you like to do things on the border of the Land of Fire." Naruto made no attempt to hide his sarcasm, "Like rats, hiding and sneaking around."

"Aren't you the same? You'll do anything, no matter what." Obito glanced back at him.

"I'm different from you. I'm aboveboard, I stand on the side of justice." Naruto smiled. "And you, do you dare tell Rin Nohara what you've been doing all these years?"

"I don't regret it. They hurt Rin, and I'm just making them suffer the same pain Rin endured." Obito Uchiha's voice was cold and unmoved.

The two moved forward with a swift movement, their speed almost imperceptible to the naked eye. With the gates of Konohagakure now in sight, Obito Uchiha slowly glanced in Naruto's direction.

"Really? Rin Nohara must be very happy to know what you've done. The love-struck fool who killed his master and mistress is still pretty cool." Naruto didn't do anything drastic at the village entrance.

"Say what you want." Obito through the Konoha Gate, with Naruto following closely behind.

"Hehe." Naruto didn't say anything more.

Konohagakure.

No sooner had Konan stepped out the door than Uzuki Yugao, dressed in her Anbu uniform and carrying a sword, quietly slipped out as well. The difference was that one flew directly through the air, while the other carried a warrant.

"Captain?" The Anbu were stunned; they had unexpectedly run into Uzuki Yugao.

"Okay, immediately dispatch the third squad to set up a perimeter and provide protection near the Yamanaka Flower Shop. The second squad will go to the Hyuga compound to explain our purpose to the Hyuga Clan and ensure Hinata Hyuga's safety."

As she walked, Uzuki Yugao gave instructions and put on the mask of the Anbu.

"Hurry!"

"Yes!" The members of the Anbu immediately disappeared on the spot.

At the same time, half of Konohagakure was suddenly awakened, and the Anbu who were on vacation were immediately notified that their holidays were canceled. Kakashi also woke up from his sleep and led his men to the Hokage Building.

"Enemy invasion? When?"

"They just left." Uzuki Yugao replied calmly.

"Just now?" Kakashi rubbed his temples. "Has the enemy's identity been confirmed?"

"Not yet, but it should be the same group that kidnapped Ino Yamanaka and Hinata Hyuga last time." Uzuki Yugao used "the same group" as her answer, subtly increasing the pressure on everyone.

"Why?"

"I saw Naruto follow that person; it was probably coerced," Uzuki Yugao said.

Suddenly, a discordant voice rang out from the crowd.

"What if that guy betrayed the village?"

Upon hearing the sound, Uzuki Yugao glanced over and frowned. She suddenly remembered a sentence Naruto had once said, which now seemed to resonate deeply.

I cannot protect this village at any cost. The stronger I become, the more they wish for my death.

Kakashi looked over as well, his gaze showing neither anger nor reproach. He knew the village's nature all too well; there were more factions within Konohagakure than those who supported the Hokage.

To put it bluntly, all they care about is ownership of the Hokage position.

Some things become commonplace, and naturally, there's not much anger involved. Kakashi is long past the age of anger; time has left him with only composure.

"Have the Anbu sent reinforcements?" he asked.

"I have immediately strengthened the protection of the Yamanaka Flower Shop and the Hyuga compound. The third and second squads have arrived at the Yamanaka Flower Shop and the Hyuga compound."

"Very good, I'll have to work hard for you all from now on." Kakashi considered for a moment and then gave the order, "The village is on level two alert. Everyone, be alert."

"Yes!!!" the crowd in the meeting room responded in unison.

As everyone left, Uzuki Yugao remained standing in the same spot. Kakashi didn't call out to her, but sat silently at the Hokage's table, arms crossed, studying the map in deep thought.

His gaze passed over Konohagakure and looked towards the border of the Land of Fire.

"Did that person go out of the village?" Kakashi asked, looking up.

"Yes, I suspect that the other party is very likely to use conditions that Naruto cannot refuse to coerce him into leaving together," said Uzuki Yugao. "The fact that the other party is so cautious actually shows that he does not want to have a conflict with Konohagakure."

"Are you afraid of the village?" Kakashi asked.

"It doesn't seem like it." She shook her head.

"That's really strange. Only Naruto probably knows their identities." Kakashi sighed and leaned back in his chair. "In that case, the direction they're heading is most likely the edge of Konoha Forest, or perhaps the edge of the Land of Fire."

"The area is too vast to search," Uzuki Yugao added.

"Then let's trust Naruto. The village also needs to be on guard." Kakashi picked up a pen, his gaze becoming deep and thoughtful. "For the sake of the village, send more people to Ino and Hinata's side."

"Okay." Uzuki Yugao nodded and left.

At the Yamanaka Flower Shop, Ino was awakened by the noise downstairs. After changing her clothes, she went downstairs only to find several Anbu standing there. She was taken aback for a moment, then rubbed her eyes.

"What happened?"

She was still wearing her pajamas underneath, with an outer garment on top. Standing at the top of the stairs in pink slippers, she blinked as if she had just woken up.

Inoichi Yamanaka was speaking to the captain of the third Anbu squad when he heard Ino's voice and turned around, his brows furrowed as if he had encountered something troublesome.

"Ino, go upstairs. The adults will handle anything."

Upon hearing this, Ino nearly coughed up blood. What did she mean by "adults will handle things"? She wasn't a three-year-old anymore!

"Father, I am not a child anymore, I am an adult now."

"I know, you can go upstairs first, it's nothing serious." Inoichi Yamanaka wanted to say something more, but was stopped by Yamanaka Rino was standing next to him.

"Ino, you go upstairs first, Mom will come up and talk to you in a bit."

"Oh."

What else could Ino say? She nodded, turned, and went upstairs. Although she still had doubts, she could only suppress them and wait for her mother to come upstairs.

Before long, Yamanaka Rino took small, quick steps upstairs, sat down next to Ino, and told her the whole story.

"What about Naruto?"

"He'll be fine. That kid is a smart one," Yamanaka Rino said. "He's always been very shrewd. He'll definitely be alright."

Upon hearing her mother's words, Ino panicked.

"Mother, Naruto must have been threatened, otherwise, given his personality, he would never have willingly left the village with that person. What should we do, Mother?"

"Nothing will happen. What could possibly threaten him? Perhaps the Lord Hokage already has a plan. Don't worry." Yamanaka Rino hugged her daughter tightly.

"No, Mother, it's really not like that." Ino's tears were almost falling. She wanted to say that the other party must have threatened Naruto with her or Hinata's safety.

But she couldn't say that; if she did, her mother would definitely be angry. Even with her good temper, she couldn't accept that the person her daughter liked was unfaithful.

"Alright, Ino, calm down, okay?" Yamanaka Rino gently comforted her. "The Lord Hokage has already sent people over to strengthen the defenses, so the house is safe."

"Since he cares about you so much, he definitely wouldn't want anything to happen to you. All you can do now is stay home and ensure your safety."

"But Naruto ..." Ino anxiously.

"Alright, Ino, stop talking." Yamanaka Rino, unusually assertive, stood up and said, "I'm going downstairs first. You stay on the second floor."

Meanwhile, at the Hyuga compound.

Hinata pursed her lips. For the first time, she argued with a boy and her father, whom she had feared for more than ten years. She was so stubborn that she blushed.

Hanabi Hyuga was completely stunned. If she hadn't seen it with her own eyes, she would never have believed that her older sister, who was always gentle to everyone, would actually argue with their father.

It was all for an outsider, a boy.

Although she knew that Naruto was very important to Hinata, Hanabi thought that with her older sister's gentle nature, she would probably suppress her dissatisfaction.

But who would have thought that Hinata would suddenly explode, and the father and daughter almost had a falling out.

Hyuga Hiashi was furious, smashing two teapots. Still enraged, he overturned the table, only calming down after catching his breath.

"Do you really have no regard for the Hyuga Clan's reputation?"

"Has the clan considered me?" Hinata asked, looking down and pursing her lips.

His voice was weak, but the words he spoke were incredibly firm. Every word was like a pearl, practically hitting Hyuga Hiashi in the face, causing his hand to tremble and almost making him faint.

"You! Are you really going to drive me crazy? Is it absolutely that person?"

"Yes." Hinata nodded. "Even if Father doesn't agree, my mind is made up."

Hanabi Hyuga quickly went over to comfort her, massaging her back, bringing her tea and water, and offering kind words of advice. She knew better than anyone that her older sister was completely devoted to her.

The Anbu at the Hyuga compound all turned their heads away, feeling rather awkward. This was their private matter, and they shouldn't have overheard it.

But with the mission at hand, I had no choice but to bite the bullet and gossip. Good heavens, I really don't want to know this gossip, but God just keeps bombarding my ears with it.
