After teasing the Captain, Naruto looked around at the Survey Corps soldiers poised for a fight and smiled. "You don't need to be so nervous. If we'd come to attack this place, it would already be rubble!"
Erwin nodded at that. He knew the man before him was telling the truth. A Titan over eight hundred meters tall could probably flatten this place just by rolling around a few times inside the walls.
With that in mind, Erwin signaled his men to put away their weapons and form up to await orders. He then took the Captain and Hange along as he led Naruto and his two companions to one of the Survey Corps' camps nearby.
After pouring each of the three a cup of tea, Erwin got down to business.
"You know my name, but I still don't know yours."
"My name is Naruto," Naruto introduced himself.
"I'm Shisui Uchiha."
"I am Madara Uchiha!"
When Madara announced his name, Hange, who stood behind Erwin, couldn't hold back a laugh.
Hearing the sound behind him, Erwin shot Hange a fierce glare, and she smiled sheepishly.
Just now, when Madara had announced his name, Hange had misheard his archaic phrasing as, "My granny, Madara Uchiha..."
That was why she had laughed.
Ignoring Hange, Erwin looked at Naruto again and asked gravely, "May I ask what exactly your objective is, Mr. Naruto?"
"And... were you responsible for the huge Titan that kicked through Wall Maria earlier?"
Erwin had originally intended to call it the Colossal Titan, but on second thought, compared to the Susanoo from earlier, he really couldn't call that huge Titan colossal.
"We weren't the ones who destroyed Wall Maria, but we do have that fellow in our custody."
As he spoke, Naruto took a sip of the black tea
