"Haha, who are you talking about? The one who is the shortest and looks the dullest!"
Hearing what the visitor said, Naruto put his hands on his hips and smiled confidently. Sasuke and Sakura looked at him and then walked to his side silently.
"Kill you, I'm going to kill you!"
After discovering that he was the person he was talking about, Naruto immediately broke through the defense. Seeing that he was about to rush forward and fight with the person being guarded, Madara Uchiha caught him in time.
"This is the object to be protected in this mission, Naruto, do you want the mission to fail??"
Under Madara Uchiha's reminder, Naruto, who originally wanted to rush forward to argue, immediately calmed down. If you want to say who Naruto listens to the most now, even Mikoto, who has always been most concerned about Naruto, will probably vote for Madara Uchiha.
"Although my subordinates are young, they are definitely excellent Ninja. Since you want us to protect you, please restrain your mouth and give them the respect they deserve."
After teaching Naruto, Madara Uchiha looked at the gray-haired uncle again. Madara Uchiha was also extremely dissatisfied with the uncle's behavior of belittling his subordinates as soon as they met. Under the intimidation of Madara Uchiha's gaze, the uncle who originally looked not serious had a chill deep in his heart. Stimulated by this chill, he immediately woke up.
"Hmph, it's amazing. I am Tazuna, a super famous bridge builder. You must protect me while I return to China to complete the bridge construction. I hope you are really as good as you said."
Although he was afraid of Madara, Tazuna also had his own pride, so he still introduced himself to Madara Uchiha.
"Humph, of course, uncle!"
Standing behind Madara, Naruto made a big face at Tazuna.
Third Hokage, who was watching everything, smiled helplessly when he saw Naruto pretending to be powerful. Uchiha Clan people always protect their shortcomings.
Although Madara is excellent, he obviously still inherited Uchiha Clan's problems. Fortunately, it seems that everyone in Konoha is his own in Madara's heart, and Naruto finally has someone who will protect him unscrupulously.
When Naruto was first allowed to live in the Uchiha Clan, although Fugaku's family accepted him, and although Hardliners would not think of killing him to release Nine-Tailed Fox, this does not mean that other Uchiha Clan people accepted him in this way.
One day, Naruto was walking on the street of the Uchiha Clan. A Uchiha tribesman who was much older than Naruto directly hit Naruto on the forehead with a stone. It was already common for Naruto to have people who hated Nine-Tailed Fox attack him from time to time. He simply wiped his forehead and continued to move forward. Anyway, this kind of injury would heal on its own in a short time.
Halfway through the journey, Naruto suddenly met Madara Uchiha who had returned from a mission. Although Naruto lived in Fugaku's house, Madara didn't talk to Naruto very much. According to Naruto's mind, Madara probably didn't like him very much. Maybe Nine-Tails also killed Madara's friends?
Although Naruto didn't really want to talk to Madara who ignored him, after all, Madara is Sasuke's Older Brother, so Naruto nodded to Madara while enduring the pain on his forehead.
"Who gave you the wound on your forehead?"
What Naruto didn't expect was that Madara, who never talked to him very often, actually took the initiative to talk to him.
"Yes, it's him."
Madara's proactive inquiry was too sudden, and little Naruto didn't know how to react for a moment. He subconsciously pointed at the Uchiha tribesman who hit him with a stone. After hitting Naruto, that tribesman actually followed Naruto and planned to sneak attack Naruto again at a certain intersection.
"So what if it's me? Itachi, can you still beat me for Nine-Tails? You have to think clearly, we are members of the same clan, and this kid has two different opinions!"
Naruto couldn't remember what Madara did next, because at that time he couldn't see Madara's speed at all. The only thing he remembered was the pitiful look of the person who originally hit him kneeling in front of him and apologizing. Judging from the injuries on that person, Madara should have made that person repay the harm he caused to him more than ten times.
"I'm sorry, I shouldn't hit you just because I hate you."
For the first time since he was born, someone apologized to little Naruto for being malicious to him.
"Is that enough?"
At that time, Madara Uchiha was still indifferent to Naruto. He didn't even look back at Naruto when Madara was talking, but Naruto had no doubt that if he didn't say enough, Madara would still vent his anger on him.
In the eyes of little Naruto, Madara looked so tall and majestic when he protected himself, and he finally realized what it felt like to be protected by Older Brother.
"That's enough, I forgive him."
Naruto said that it was okay, and at the same time he forgave the person who bullied him. For the first time in his life, Naruto felt that being hurt was such a happy thing.
"Naruto is a family member recognized by my mother. If you bully him, you are bullying me. I will not let anyone bully me."
Under the threat of killing the chicken to scare the monkeys, from then on, in the Uchiha Clan community, Naruto may still receive criticism, but no one dared to bully him anymore. Even due to the spread of this incident, Naruto no longer suffered physical bullying in the Konoha community.
"Okay, let's go!"
Besides Konoha Gate, Naruto was carrying his luggage with great interest, while Sasuke followed behind Naruto and smiled softly. Driven by Naruto, Sasuke was always in a good mood. In this life, to Sasuke, Naruto was just his younger brother.
Tazuna looked at Naruto's excited look and wanted to ask if this guy was really reliable, but he turned his head and looked at Madara's cold face, and he wisely closed his mouth.
"The person escorting you this time is Uchiha Itachi from our Konoha. As long as he is here, you will never die, but you need to be careful not to belittle his subordinates again. If he is unwilling to protect you, then it is your problem."
Before leaving, Third Hokage specially gave some instructions to Tazuna. With Hokage's guarantee, Tazuna naturally trusted Madara's strength. In order to return to his country safely, it seemed that there would be no problem if he talked less on the road.
This is the first time Naruto has left Konoha Gate, and it is also the first time Sasuke has left the village. Naruto kept chattering along the way, and Sasuke was listening beside him. Occasionally replying a few words, Sakura also chimed in. Tazuna looked at the laughing trio in front and couldn't help but doubt whether these three people could really protect him, but he looked at the indifferent Madara standing next to him, and he suppressed his desire to complain.
[This Konoha's Ninja is really protecting its shortcomings.]
