After sensing the Tailed Beast Chakra, the Uzumaki ninja looked at Naruto with both wariness and confusion in his eyes.
He could not understand the other party's intentions. First, he had inexplicably infiltrated his office and launched an attack. Then, after defeating him, he released Chakra brimming with malice...
Seeing that the Uzumaki ninja had not recognized the Nine-Tails Chakra, Naruto felt somewhat awkward as well.
After clearing his throat, Naruto untied the ropes around the Uzumaki ninja and introduced himself. "I'm Menma, an Uzumaki ninja traveling the ninja world. What should I call this friend from my clan?"
Once freed, Homura Uzumaki sized Naruto up, his eyes full of suspicion.
After the Land of Whirlpools fell, there were no shortage of clansmen scattered throughout the ninja world. There were even some with Jonin-level strength, but those capable of utterly overwhelming him were exceedingly rare.
Not to mention that an Uzumaki Clan ninja fighting without Sealing Jutsu was strange enough.
He was even associating with the Uchiha. That went completely against common sense for the Uzumaki Clan.
Still, constrained by the situation, Homura Uzumaki gave his name. The gap in strength between them was simply too great, and those from a fallen nation had little dignity to speak of.
Naruto saw through Homura's suspicion and swung a kunai, slicing open his own arm.
Thanks to the Uzumaki Clan's powerful physique, the wound healed at a visible rate. In the end, not even a scar remained.
Homura Uzumaki's eyes widened. He no longer doubted Naruto's Uzumaki bloodline, and said in a subdued tone, "I believe you're an Uzumaki, but the Land of Whirlpools has been destroyed for decades. What are you doing here?"
Naruto smiled. "Settling a group of homeless wanderers, and rebuilding the Land of Whirlpools while I'm at it."
