Chapter 105 - Friendship

Just as Naruto’s vision of reality was completely desperate, a voice of quarrel came not far away at this time: “Young Master, it’s almost time to go. In my opinion, let’s not delay time anymore…”

Gaara: “Go away! Where I go, you don’t need to worry about it!”

The quarrel ended.

Not long after, Gaara appeared in front of Naruto.

The first thing he saw was Naruto with no smile on his face.

Seeing the current Naruto, Gaara involuntarily showed an expression of guilt. It’s just that before he said anything, he was taken aback by Naruto’s following sentence: “Gaara, don’t hide it anymore? Can you tell me honestly what happened?”

Gaara was shocked. Then there is a complex expression.

Undoubtedly, between the village and Naruto, he eventually made a firm resolution and chose to take the village’s interests as the priority. In addition to this plan, not at all causing mortal danger to Naruto, so he cooperated with the village, concealing what they planned to do next.

Even with a definite decision, he still can’t resist the guilt he raised involuntarily when facing Naruto.

The two live in the same room.

Get along day and night for several years.

Naruto helped him so much.

To say that he doesn’t feel guilt is impossible.

Because of this, in this time, he always behaves strangely when he gets along with Naruto. Whenever Naruto wants to show him kindness, give him some benefits, and so on, he refuses.

Trying to use this to counteract the guilt in his heart.

Now it is discovered by Naruto.

This makes Gaara even more difficult, and I don’t know what to do.

Looking at Naruto’s blank expression and then recalling the past, Gaara was finally still unable to bear, clenched his teeth, and told everything to Naruto, one after another.

Gaara: “…That’s what happened. Sorry, Naruto. For the sake of the entire village, we have to do it. If we let Konoha develop, then more people will die in the village.”

After listening to Gaara’s explanation.

Naruto couldn’t help laughing at himself: “So… this is what I teach you, Sealing Jutsu, what do you give me in return? Hehe, benefit… for the benefit again. Just because Konoha Village is too powerful, you have to attack them… Just because Suna Village’s natural resources are not enough, so you have to use me in exchange for natural resources… Why? Why is this? Is it really impossible to calm down? The two sides just sit down and talk about each other’s problems. Why must they fight? Why must they hurt innocent lives?”

Naruto said a series of self-deprecations.

Gaara perfectly heard every sentence.

This made Gaara feel even more guilty. He is also very helpless. Sometimes, things are so ridiculous. Because Konoha is strong, they must preemptively take the lead and weaken Konoha’s strength.

This sounds very domineering. But they have to do it again.

Being the same ninja, it is destined that they will meet each other one day on a mission. As long as Konoha becomes stronger, the ninjas in their village will be more dangerous when performing missions in the future.

This is the truth. They had to compromise.

Not waiting for Gaara to say anything, Naruto lifts his head and lightly says to Gaara, “You go, don’t you want to start? Don’t blame yourself. I did not blame you, and I know your difficulty. Rest assured, I have no regrets teaching you Sealing Jutsu. Even if I were given another chance to choose, I would still make the same decision.”

It is also at this time.

“Xiu!” “Xiu!” Two sounds.

Temari and Kankuro suddenly appeared in the room.

Gaara looked up towards them and seemed to have an intention to call for help. Temari smiled at Gaara and stretched out his palm, interrupting Gaara’s intentions, and said heartily: “That’s right! Naruto, let’s go together!”

Whether it’s Naruto, or Gaara, looking towards Temari with joy.

But soon.

The joy on Gaara’s face turned into sorrow again.

If Naruto went to Konoha and Konoha understood their plan, there might be serious consequences, which made him worry about this.

As if to see the thoughts of the younger brother Gaara, Temari patted his shoulder: “Gaara, I understand your concerns. In the past, we may not have had the ability to stop. But have you ever thought about it? Now you and Naruto are the two most destructive existences in all of Ninja Villages if we cooperate with Naruto. Even if we really can’t prevent this from happening. As long as you two do not take action, at least the loss of both sides can be reduced, right?”

After hearing it, he reawakened his overjoyed expression! So is Naruto!

The thoughts of Temari and Kankuro gave Naruto’s cold heart a new warmth.

In this world, not everyone is so ruthless!

After a while, Gaara, Temari, Kankuro, and three people walked out of the building.

It didn’t take long for the three to leave.

There is a Sand Ninja passing here and there intentionally or unintentionally.

Seeing their goal, Uzumaki Naruto was still in the building, and he left the building’s scope pretending to be alright.

……

Time flies. Years are like a shuttle.

A… little… time… after…

The entire group of Suna Village came to Konoha Village.

Along the way, before reaching the village entrance, there is already a ninja waiting there from Konoha Village, guiding them.

Due to the arrival of a Village Kage, the hospitality specifications given by Konoha Village are very high. There is no need for them to register or and so on. Sarutobi Hiruzen, the Hokage, personally received them at the entrance of the village of Konoha.

Then they were quickly arranged for a more noble accommodation.

And soon, someone will give the temporary access status token to everyone in Suna Village.

Even with the invited Daimyo, they had dinner together.

After the meal.

This batch of Sand Ninja’s full-day trip was officially concluded, and they returned to their accommodation to rest.

This is the moment.

Gaara, Temari, Kankuro took this opportunity to gather in the same room.

Several people just entered the room.

Kankuro quickly put down the ‘Puppet’ behind him.

The bandage that bound the Puppet dropped one after another.

It was Uzumaki Naruto who appeared in front of three people!

As for the replacement left in Suna Village, of course, it is the Shadow Clone of Naruto.

And the reason why three people hide Naruto so secretly. The reason is also very simple. It’s that they can’t let the people of Suna Village find Naruto appear here.

Otherwise, it may cause a war between the two sides.

Kankuro: “You have worked hard, Naruto. I’m sorry I made you wait so long.”

Naruto patted Kankuro’s shoulder: “It’s okay. Many thanks to you guys. If I don’t have your help, it would also be impossible to go back to Konoha smoothly.

Gaara also seriously looked at Naruto and said at this time: “Be careful about everything. If Konoha dares to do something with you, don’t forget to ask us for help.”

Getting along for so long, Gaara more or less understood Naruto’s encounter and treatment in Konoha. Worrying that Konoha would be bad for Naruto again, he said this.

“Don’t worry. I wasn’t me back then. If they dare to treat me like that, then don’t blame me for killing them.” Naruto responded.

After that, several people glanced at each other and nodded.

Immediately, Naruto jumped out of the window, leaving this building.

……

Konoha Village.

The arrival of a group of strangers, not at all, changed Konoha Village’s calm night as always.

Due to the prosperous streets, various shops have already closed.

Therefore, these invited people did not walk around in the quiet Konoha Village at night and disrupted the life of Konoha Village.

Although these Ninja Villages such as Suna Village, Kusa(Grass) Ninja Village, and Oto(Sound) Village were also invited, it is impossible to ask Konoha Village to let them down completely.

The necessary monitoring is still necessary.

It’s just that it won’t be so blatant.

At least a certain distance will be maintained.

Otherwise, if the other party finds out, it would be a bit rude. After all, people are invited by the Konoha, which also means that they are their guests, not their prisoners.

Monitor the actions of others for no reason… No matter how you say it, you can’t justify it.

Because of this, after Naruto jumped out of the window, he did not immediately encounter any obstruction.

But quickly, until he leaped to a certain distance, an Anbu staff appeared in front of him with a bang: “Who is your Excellency? Do you have proof of identity?”

Because he didn’t want to be discovered by people in Suna Village, Naruto had already put on the mask that Gaara and the others had prepared for him when he left the building where Sand Ninja lived.

As a result, this Anbu cannot recognize his identity.

At the same time, because of this period, too many outsiders came and went. This Anbu did not immediately start becoming suspicious of Naruto.

He chose to investigate first and then speak. Naruto slightly removed his mask, revealing half of his face: “It’s me. I’m going to see the Third-Kage old fogey, and I have important things that I need to let him know!”

The Anbu ninja saw Naruto’s half-face; his pupils shrank immediately.

Even after a few years. Even if there are some changes.

But the appearance of Naruto, the whole Konoha can’t forget it!

This Anbu ninja recognized the person in front of him at a glance. It was the Kyuubi Jinchuriki who left the village that year! Son of Fourth-Hokage! Uzumaki Naruto!

He was shocked by some panic.

Even if Naruto passed him directly, he hadn’t reacted yet.

By the time it was recovered again, Naruto had already left a long distance.

He caught up immediately. And with Naruto leaping by his side on the roofs at a synchronous speed: “I will open the way for you. If you go like this, you will definitely encounter many people blocking you.”

Naruto nodded.

………..

Not much time passed.

Because of this led by Anbu ninja, it can be described as unimpeded along the way.

Naruto soon came to Hokage Residence. Enter the Hokage room.

The instant when he took off his mask, Sarutobi Hiruzen’s face instantly rejoiced: “Hahahahaha, Naruto, you are finally back! This old man had always hoped for you to come back!”

Sarutobi Hiruzen goes over to hug Naruto first. But Naruto staggered his body and dodged his hug.

It made him embarrassed.

But Sarutobi Hiruzen, with a certain thickness of skin, was just stunned for a while and didn’t mind too much. Instructing the Anbu to leave, he turned his head and put on a kind expression: “It’s good to come back, and it’s good to come back. How are you, Naruto? How have you been outside the past few years? Since you’re back. Then don’t leave again. You don’t know—in the village, besides me, many people are very concerned about you—.”

That’s right!

Until now, Sarutobi Hiruzen is still unchanging. He will not forget to bind this easy-to-use tool.

In the first sentence of the meeting, he wanted to play an emotional card with Naruto.

Both inside and outside are hinting at Naruto’s most important Hinata and Sasuke.

However, Naruto, who came with a purpose, did not think so much. In a hurry, he went straight to the subject and said: “Old fogey! Stop talking about it! Hurry up and stop the Chunin Exams at this time!”

Sarutobi Hizaki’s expression condensed. He slowly walked back to his seat and sat down.

“Naruto, you calm down first. Tell me slowly, what the hell is going on?” Sarutobi Hiruzen said.

It is also at this time.

Mitokado Homura, Utatane Koharu, and Shimura Danzo, who received the message that ‘Naruto is back’, also rushed to the Hokage room one after another. They instantly saw Naruto.

Mitokado Homura and Utatane Koharu’s first reaction was to get close to Naruto. The two people walked to Naruto with a big smile. But they didn’t wait for what they said.

Naruto glared fiercely at them: “Shut up, you guys! Stop! Don’t come over!”

They stopped on the spot. The smile froze there.

Naruto didn’t take care of their thoughts and directly stated Suna Village’s plan to destroy Konoha. Of course not too detailed. He did not tell Sarutobi Hiruzen and the others that he lived in Suna Village. Nor did he say how he got the news. It is even more impossible that he taught Sealing Jutsu to Gaara.

After all, Naruto was not stunned like he used to before. Not to mention that at this time, he is facing these old fellows in front of him. It is even more impossible for him to tell everything about himself.

Naruto: “Old fogey, you have to believe me! The people of Suna Village really want to take advantage of the opportunity to weaken our strength! I’m not very clear about the specific plan. In short, you have to stop this Chunin exam! Otherwise, it will affect many innocent people!”
