Facing the tense standoff, Naruto approached with a cheerful grin.
"Don't misunderstand." Naruto wore a bright smile and spread his arms, showing that he was not here to cause trouble.
"I'm Naruto Uzumaki, Konoha's future Hokage. I'm here as an envoy to the Hidden Cloud Village, and I have something important to discuss with your Raikage."
Naruto's behavior caught the Hidden Cloud Village gate guards completely off guard.

Naruto recognized the Fourth Raikage at a glance. Standing over two meters tall, with dark skin and a burly build, he stood out sharply among the crowd.
"Fourth Raikage." Naruto strode forward and greeted him. "I have something very important to discuss with you."
"What are you supposed to be? How dare you call yourself the future Hokage?" The Fourth Raikage was extremely hostile.
Naruto's expression darkened.
Then his face changed again, and he said with a grin, "Because I can stomp you beneath my feet. Tell me, do I have the qualifications to become Hokage?"
The Fourth Raikage's brows shot up, and fury burst from his eyes.
"Brat! You've got guts! Then let's see how you plan to stomp this old man beneath your feet."
The Fourth Raikage attacked the moment he grew angry, wasting no more words as he charged at Naruto in an instant.
Naruto wrapped an arm around Hinata and used the Flying Thunder God Technique to teleport away.
With a boom of thunder, the spot where Naruto had been standing was blasted into a crater by the Fourth Raikage's fist.
The Raikage slowly straightened and looked up at Naruto in the distance.
The Raikage had absolute confidence in his own speed. He believed that few people in the entire Ninja World could surpass him in speed,
