"You forgot? When you played a part in destroying the Land of Grass, your role was called the Dragon King. Someone remembered the name, and it's been passed down to this day."
Now that she mentioned it, Naruto really had forgotten.
After all, he thought destroying the Land of Grass had been a minor matter. Three years had passed, so it was only natural he'd forgotten.
Now that Fu Hua had reminded him, Naruto remembered, and couldn't help feeling a little awkward.
"Ahem... Sorry, my mistake. But what's with the daimyo? I don't want to be saddled with a burden for no reason."
That was the main reason Naruto was angry.

That was the very purpose for which the Sage of Six Paths had founded the Ninjutsu Sect.

Naruto: [I'm not blaming you. I just want to be free to do as I please, without any responsibilities. A whole country... that's too much!]
Raiden Ei:
