"Naruto, how about it? Do you want to try training with Nine-Tails too? Huh? Where's Naruto?"

After finishing his Sage Mode demonstration, Rōshi suddenly thought of Naruto, but after looking around, he realized Naruto was nowhere to be found.

"Oh, I'm here."

Hearing Rōshi call his name, Naruto quickly raised his hand and ran back.

"Naruto, did you hear what I just said? What do you think?"

Rōshi stepped forward, patted Naruto on the shoulder, and asked...

"Well..."

Naruto hesitated, unsure how to refuse.

He had just promised Nine-Tails that he wouldn't let Four-Tails and Rōshi know about this.

Fortunately, the "thoughtful" Nine-Tails appeared and helped Naruto solve the problem.

"The Four-Tails ' Jinchuriki, mind your own business! Naruto is the reincarnation of the Six Paths Old Man's son; he doesn't need your guidance on his training path!"

The Nine-Tails ' voice rang directly in Rōshi's ear.

This was Past through contact with Rōshi, transmitting the sound in the form of Chakra.

"..."

"Um, Rōshi, I'm sorry, but that's Kurama's personality; he's not inherently bad."

Naruto, seeing Nine-Tails's rudeness, tried to explain.

"It's alright. Tailed Beast treat people they don't know well like that. I understand."

"Besides, what the Nine-Tails Fox said makes sense."

Rōshi waved his hand, indicating that it was alright.

"Alright... Now that you've successfully completed Rōshi training, it's time for us to head to the next village. If you need anything, you can have Four-Tails contact me."

Oh right, I haven't integrated the power from the Four-Tails into my body yet. The Nine-Tails said to do it together with the Five-Tails.

"The Five-Tails? I see— Ōnoki! You old bastard, come here!"

Rōshi was very eager to help Naruto.

He didn't know where Han, the Five-Tails Jinchuriki, was, but he felt that Ōnoki should know.

"What are you yelling about? I'm the former Tsuchikage, after all. Now that you're back, can't you give me some face?"

Ōnoki floated over, somewhat displeased.

"Sorry, it's just a habit I've formed, I can't change it."

Rōshi showed no embarrassment whatsoever. "Ōnoki, where is Han? Tell Naruto quickly, he's only one Five-Tails away from gathering the power of Nine Tailed Beasts."

"At that time, both our Jinchuriki and the Tailed Beast can use Naruto's body as a relay station to transmit various kinds of information."

"It's not just intelligence; according to Orochimaru's description, the power of the Tailed Beast can also be transferred, but it seems that this hasn't been developed yet."

Kakashi added.

What seemed like an ordinary addition was actually Kakashi's way of allaying Ōnoki's concerns.

If the sole purpose is to gather the power of Nine Tailed Beasts for Naruto, even if Ōnoki regains his Will of Stone and is willing to consider the Shinobi World, there will inevitably be some resentment.

After all, Naruto is Konoha Ninja, Konoha possesses the power of Nine Tailed Beasts, which inevitably makes those who have experienced the previous Ninja War feel uneasy.

Mentioning that power can be used to transfer it can dispel this unease.

"I see. Alright then. Actually, we already know Han's location. After you find him, remember to send him back to Iwagakure."

Ōnoki decided to tell the Konoha members where Han was.

Rōshi and Han are like Tsunade and Jiraiya of Konoha.

He left the village, his whereabouts were uncertain, the village could not control him, and he did not obey orders, but he still could not be considered Rogue Ninja.

After Kurotsuchi became the Tsuchikage, she also passed on the long-term task of finding the two Jinchuriki to her grandfather, Ōnoki.

According to Kurotsuchi, the departure of these two Jinchuriki from the village was a problem that occurred during her grandfather Ōnoki's tenure, and she had to resolve it.

As for Han, he had no conflict with Ōnoki.

As for why he also wanted to leave the village, no one knows.

Ōnoki originally thought he could bring Han back to the village first, but unexpectedly, thanks to Kurotsuchi's brilliant maneuvering, Rōshi appeared first and returned first.

Han, on the other hand, managed to pinpoint a general area thanks to the thorough search by his intelligence organization.

However, precisely because he didn't know why Han, this taciturn man, had left the village, Ōnoki didn't immediately send someone to contact him.

Naruto wants the power of the Five-Tails, so he will inevitably need to contact Han. Let Naruto go then.

Ōnoki realized that Naruto's identity as the reincarnation of the Sage of Six Paths' son was to the Tailed Beast what catnip was to cats; the Tailed Beast would wag their tails as soon as they saw him.

Because of Naruto's appearance, both Rōshi and the Four-Tails completely overcame their differences and became Perfect Jinchuriki.

Incidentally, because of this, Rōshi was in a good mood, and their relationship was completely reconciled.

Therefore, sending Naruto to find Han and, incidentally, to ask him to return would have the highest success rate.

"Okay, leave it to me."

Naruto patted his chest, making a promise.

Naruto is very kind-hearted.

Even when he was the Seventh Hokage, he was so busy doing things like helping old ladies cross the street that he neglected his family and his training, causing a crisis in his family and a long-term stagnation in his strength.

Therefore, whenever outsiders ask Naruto for help, the kind-hearted Naruto will agree without hesitation.

As for outsiders not being allowed to interfere in the affairs of other villages or to accept tasks from other villages without permission?

It does not exist.

I never heard these basic ninja regulations when they were taught at the Ninja Academy.

If you haven't heard of it or don't know about it, then it doesn't exist.

Ōnoki personally escorted the Konoha members out of the village.

The Konoha group was preparing to go to the southeast of the Land of Earth to find Han, based on the information given by Ōnoki. Just as they were about to set off, a voice suddenly came from the sky.

"Wait, you, Naruto Uzumaki, stop right there!"

"Huh? Who called me?"

Naruto looked up in confusion and saw another person with the same blond hair leaping down from the sky.

Naruto seemed to recall some unpleasant memories and quickly covered his head.

What are you doing?

After Deidara pulled Naruto down, he looked at Naruto, who was holding his head, somewhat bewildered.

Even putting aside the fact that he didn't launch an attack, even if he did, would Nine-Tails Jinchuriki really defend himself by covering his head?

Was his idea of coming here wrong?

"..."

Naruto snapped out of his daze and lowered his hands.

He was recalling the time he was knocked unconscious by Boruto falling from the sky.

After being knocked unconscious by Boruto, he vaguely experienced inhuman torture in his sleep, and upon waking, he saw Boruto continuing to...

Both characters are blond and appear out of nowhere, but Deidara's appearance gave Naruto PTSD.

"Deidara, what are you doing here? And Naruto and the others are guests of Iwagakure, so show them some respect!"

Ōnoki stood in front of Naruto.

"He's your guest, not mine."

Deidara muttered something to himself, then his gaze met Naruto's. "Naruto Uzumaki, I heard that Brother Sasori asked you to verify the abilities of his new puppet. Why don't you help me try out my new technique?"
