Naruto, who had just woken up, rubbed the back of his head and stared at Gekkō Raito. "Raito, will you help us get our village back?"
Raito glanced at the innocent boy.
He clearly wanted to ask for help, but was too embarrassed to say so outright.
"These people have a huge appetite. Swallowing Konoha alone certainly won't satisfy them."

Sealing away their own mother? That was quite a shocking turn of events.
Ignoring their astonishment, Raito
