Naruto, Hinata and Karin searched the entire mansion Uzumaki Clan left behind at Konoha.
No useful information was found. This place looks like an old house that has been abandoned for many years.
"I have decided that from now on, this place belongs to me, Naruto Uzumaki." Naruto said with a smile on his face.
Naruto thought to himself: There is an iron box placed by Third Hokage in this big house, which means that Third Hokage can enter through the barrier, which proves that Third Hokage owns the property rights of this place.
Now that Third Hokage has passed away and Danzo has fallen into my hands, it is estimated that no one will notice this big house as my secret stronghold.
Naruto made up his mind to let Karin stay here to look after the house, and left with Hinata.
Not far away, a group of Kusagakure ninjas surrounded Naruto.
"Kusagakure?" Naruto said rudely, "Konoha has just experienced the war, and the whole village is mourning the dead. Chunin Ninja Exams is over. Why don't you guys leave?"
"Hand over Karin!"
"I think you want to become Konoha's fertilizer."
"Third Hokage has promised us." Kusagakure's ninja said in an astonishing voice, "With Third Hokage's promise, we will not pursue the previous matters, but you must hand over Karin."
Before Chunin Ninja Exams's final exam, Naruto once killed Chunin, a Kusagakure, in order to save Karin.
Naruto became angry and rushed forward with extremely fast movement, intending to teach these ungrateful guys in front of him a lesson.
When Naruto rushed over, Kusagakure's ninja was obviously startled, and suddenly several black shadows stopped in front of Naruto.
Naruto stopped attacking. When Dingqing took a look, it turned out to be Anbu Ninja from Konoha.
Anbu Ninja of Konoha said, "Naruto, this is indeed the order of Third Hokage."
"Oh?" Naruto asked calmly, "Didn't Third Hokage already sacrifice his life? When did he give the order?"
Anbu Ninja analyzed. "Before the final round of Chunin Ninja Exams, you killed Kusagakure Chunin who was friends with Konoha, and Third Hokage tried his best to save you."
Following the analysis of Anbu Ninja, after Naruto killed Chunin of Kusagakure, the people from Kusagakure came to Third Hokage and explained the whole incident.
Kusagakure's people made demands, asking Konoha to hand over Karin, and at the same time punishing Naruto, and even asking Naruto to give his life for a life.
Third Hokage had a headache at the time, but no matter how bad things Naruto did, it was impossible for him to agree to Kusagakure's request to punish Naruto.
Third Hokage objected to punishing Naruto on the spot, but could compensate Kusagakure for its losses, and Karin must return Kusagakure.
Third Hokage relied on his own prestige to suppress the matter. Since Kusagakure was relatively weak, he could not say anything more and could only agree to Third Hokage's solution.
After listening to the process described by Anbu Ninja, Naruto said boredly, "Really? Then I am really grateful, I can't thank you enough."
Anbu Ninja said firmly, "But Karin of Kusagakure must be handed over. She is not our Konoha."
Naruto put on a bored expression and said perfunctorily, "Karin doesn't like the current Konoha. She left a long time ago and may have returned to Kusagakure." Naruto lied.
"How dare you disobey Third Hokage's order!" Kusagakure's people actually used the name Third Hokage.
"..." Naruto glared at the crowd of Kusagakure, looked around and said, "This is Konoha. You outsiders are using the name Hokage to suppress me?"
"Hey..." Naruto felt a bit ridiculous.
"Naruto, you have to think about Konoha. Karin is not Konoha's person. You can't lose the big for the small." Anbu Ninja persuaded, "Since Orochimaru invaded Konoha, we have been strengthening the village guard, and we have not noticed Karin leaving at all."
"Then go find it yourself and don't bother me." Naruto said solemnly, "I tell you, the era of Third Hokage is over, and the era of Fifth Hokage will follow."
Naruto took Hinata's little hand, glared at everyone and said, "I will leave Konoha for a while, and I want to bring back Fifth Hokage for Konoha."
After saying that, Naruto looked at Kusagakure's crowd with the eyes of a dead person.
Naruto thought: I deliberately revealed in front of you that I will leave Konoha. If you have the guts, come out of the village to find me!
The ninjas of Kusagakure are extremely dissatisfied. They feel that Naruto is being aggressive. They have retreated again and again to give Konoha enough face, but Naruto is still unwilling to hand over Karin.
Kusagakure's ninja thought: Do you dare to leave Konoha? I will make your life worse than death... You idiot, why would Third Hokage fight to protect you...
Naruto took Hinata's hand and left, and the two walked arm in arm on the street of Konoha.
Hinata asked worriedly, "Naruto-kun, is it really okay for us to disobey Third Hokage's order?"
"Is it still necessary to obey the order of Hokage who has passed away?" Naruto touched Hinata's head.
Then he comforted her and said, "Don't be afraid, I will invite a very powerful old woman back. That guy is very protective of his shortcomings and will not allow outsiders to infringe on the majesty of Konoha."
"Naruto--Long time no see--" Jiraiya appeared out of thin air.
"Pervy Sage, you are finally willing to take the lead."
"Hey, there's an outsider here." Jiraiya signaled with his eyes that Hinata was here, and then said, "Don't call me random names."
"What brings you to me?"
"Of course I'm here to take you on a trip to practice spiritual practice." Jiraiya looked proud.
"Hee." Naruto thought to himself: He is going to find Tsunade.
"No problem, I'll go with you." Naruto pulled Hinata and said, "She wants to go too."
"Well..." Jiraiya had a reluctant expression on his face, curled his lips and looked at it for a long time, and finally stared at the hands held by Naruto and Hinata.
Jiraiya directly pushed Naruto aside and asked softly, "Naruto, you are such a good boy, when did you deceive the little girl?"
"What do you mean by that?" Naruto was stunned for a moment and said, "This is what I pursue honestly."
"Oh--" Jiraiya couldn't believe it, looking at Naruto's dull appearance, he actually managed to get divorced at such an age.
"No! How can you bring a woman with you while practicing!"
"Why not?"
"Have you ever heard of Three Ninja Prohibitions, the three desires that will turn a ninja into a waste are women, money, and alcohol."
"..." Naruto looked at Jiraiya with an expression that looked like a fool, thinking: You are lying to a child...
"Alcohol can narcotize ninjas, money can make ninjas fall, and women can make ninjas lose themselves. These are three very terrible desires." Jiraiya said seriously, "Next, we will go out to travel and practice, and another purpose is to find a woman named Tsunade."
"Tsunade was originally a very strong ninja, but he was addicted to gambling and became a slave to money."
"..." Naruto continued to look at Jiraiya with an expression that looked like a fool, thinking: Aren't you the same? Are you embarrassed to tell others...
"So you absolutely cannot bring women to practice." Jiraiya said firmly.
