Just as Markey ordered his ninjas to stick to their posts, he was preparing to go to the village to report the arrival of Naruto and his party to the four generations of Kazekage. Naruto and his party, who had entered the Sand Hidden Village first, finally entered the Sand Hidden Village before the end of the entry and exit time of the Sand Hidden Village, and avoided the tormented treatment of sleeping in the desert wilderness again.

But at the same time, compared to other people who entered the village and knew that they would be able to sleep peacefully on the soft bed they had not seen for a long time, and no longer have to endure the uncomfortable sleeping bag that was full of yellow sand and gravel that was difficult to clean up all night, the overall body and mind were much more relaxed. The smile on Naruto's face did not spread and deepen, but quickly converged, tightening the brow that had been stretched out again.

"Strange...... It stands to reason that the current Konoha Ninja Village and Sand Hidden Village should no longer be hostile relations...... Moreover, because of the long-term trade relationship, even if they do not get along very well, they should be neutral and friendly. But why did I perceive the existence of killing intent in the squad leader just now......"

Secretly spread his own perception around his body to the greatest extent, and in a state of high concentration of mental power, he fed back his own perception results to determine that his group had been out of the observation range of the guard troops led by Ma Ji. Naruto slowly gathered his perception back to himself as he muttered to himself.

"There is no tendency to pursue, and there are no ambushes or traps along the way...... Could it be, the strong killing intent and hatred I sensed from that squad leader just now was really just my delusion? ”

As a collection of all kinds of negative emotions in the world, the human pillar of the Nine Lamas, with the Nine Lamas, getting along with the Nine Lamas, being honest with each other and trusting each other, makes Naruto's ability to perceive all negative emotions far beyond the ability level of ordinary ninjas. So much so that the killing intent flowing out of Rao is Markey's eyes was fleeting, and he immediately used words and actions to cover it up just right, but it was still keenly captured by Naruto.

Because of this, just like the customs clearance documents personally issued by Ma Gene for the third generation of Hokage, it was far beyond the treatment that C-class missions could obtain, and he was suspicious of the purpose of Naruto and his party to "escort the caravan back to the village". Because after reporting that his group was from Konoha Ninja Village, he unexpectedly sensed the existence of a strong killing intent on Maki's body. Let Naruto ...... for Markey In other words, it is true that the relationship between Sand Hidden Village and Konoha Ninja Village is really true to the people of the world on the surface.

In addition, there is another point that makes Naruto more and more entangled and puzzled, and that is the change in Maki's attitude towards them after flipping through the authenticity of the customs clearance documents.

It stands to reason that after confirming the identity of Naruto and his party, it is not impossible to apologize in an official tone for the sake of the overall image of the village...... But before, when Naruto and Marki responded to the harmony word by word, Maki gave Naruto the feeling that there was certainly a certain amount of deliberate camouflage. But at the same time, Naruto noticed that Maki was full of a sense of cautious retreat and humility as if he were a distinguished guest.

This is obviously full of indescribable disobedience for the host of Sand Hidden Village, which was full of killing intent for Naruto and his party a moment ago, and is himself a status equal to the five major ninja villages in the world.

"For a while, it was like a revenge for killing our father and taking my wife, and the look in our eyes was called a hatred to the bone. After a while, it was like welcoming a distinguished guest from afar, and he was polite and couldn't speak...... What kind of calculation is this Shayin Village going on......"

It was precisely because Naruto discovered this even more unpredictable abnormality that Naruto made even after confirming that there was indeed no crisis against his group in the Sand Hidden Village, the wrinkled forehead lines between his eyebrows did not dissipate, but became more and more confused. couldn't help but walk forward slowly, while taking out from the backpack and re-checking the identity he gave to Markey, which triggered a 180-degree change in Maki's attitude to a customs clearance document. While slowly flipping through and observing carefully, his lips twitched slightly and murmured in a low voice.

"Is there any horse foot in this customs clearance document that Grandpa Ri gave me...... Isn't that right? It shouldn't be...... According to Grandpa Hizaki, this is made according to the regular process, it is genuine, and it has been stamped and effective by the third generation of the Hokage of Konoha Ninja Village, how can there be a problem......"

"What's wrong? Naruto? Is something wrong? ”

Just as Naruto was enchanted, he walked and muttered words in his mouth. Itachi, who was walking beside Naruto, also gradually sensed that something was wrong with Naruto, and then silently, following Naruto's unintentional slowing pace, slowly walked at the end of the line. Immediately, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he raised his hand and gently touched Naruto's arm, gradually calling Naruto's consciousness back to reality.

"Or ...... What did you find wrong? ”

"Huh? Yes...... Itachi-san...... To be honest, I don't really know if it's a danger...... Well, let me tell you that, just now, I found out ......"

His thoughts were suddenly interrupted and awakened by the intervention of the person next to him, allowing Naruto to instinctively close the clearance paperwork in his hand quickly, and at the same time, he followed his voice in the direction of the "culprit" who disturbed his thinking. It wasn't until he became conscious and recognized that the person standing next to him was the one with whom he had shared his memories and could trust it with complete confidence, that he slowly relaxed. After a slight pause, he handed over the customs clearance paperwork in his hand to Itachi, and at the same time looked at the others who were gradually moving away from him out of the corner of his eye, deliberately lowered the volume and decibels, and told Itachi all the things he had been entangled in before, 1510 without reservation.

"So, the reason why you have been silent since you entered the village...... Is it because you're struggling with these? ”

And maybe it's because the authorities are obsessed with bystanders, or because Itachi is worthy of the title of genius. As soon as Naruto's words fell, Itachi gradually sorted out the reasons why Naruto couldn't figure it out, and speculated on it. As a result, Itachi's heart gradually retracted because he found Naruto's abnormality, and his expression when he looked at Naruto became more and more ...... Want to laugh but don't dare to laugh?

"If I'm not mistaken...... Naruto, you, like the squad leader, are just overthinking. ”

"Huh? Thinking too much? What is this...... What does it mean......"

"Sometimes you take care of too many aspects, and you can get dizzy, Naruto. Although it is now a time of peace, it is inevitable that there are still people in Sand Hidden Village who still hate us Konoha because of the grudges formed during the war...... Well, other than that, I want to ask you a question, Naruto. The wave of wind and face Ma called by the captain of the Sand Hidden Village team before, is it really you? ”

"Wave wind face ......? Ah, that name, you say? ”

Hearing that the person in front of him was talking sharply, and suddenly asked about the false identity he had deliberately used, Naruto raised his hand in surprise and scratched the tip of his nose, raised his eyebrows lightly, and nodded in confusion.

"That's right, that's indeed a fake identity that I fabricated for me before I left, and I specially asked Grandpa Ri to make it up for me...... What's wrong? Suddenly asked, is there something wrong with my identity? ”

"I'm afraid it's unfortunate that what makes you so nervous and suspicious really has something to do with the name, Naruto......"

Faced with Naruto's growing curiosity and puzzlement, and admitting to give the answer in person, Itachi tried to hold back a smile, while shaking his head slightly, hiding the stunned look that flashed in his eyes, and opened the customs clearance paperwork that he received from Naruto. Immediately, from the Hokage's seal and the autograph of the three generations of Hokage, after further confirming the last conjecture answer in his heart, Fang shrugged his shoulders with a smile on his face, and continued with a gentle teasing.

"Before we left the village, there was such a hot news item in the shadows. That is about the young and new talent who was originally unknown, but with the power of one person, he thwarted the kidnapping plot of Yunyin Village, successfully rescued the eldest lady of the Hyuga clan, and successfully advanced to the upper ninja with this outstanding merit...... Now it seems that I should have thought of it a long time ago. This wave is numb, and you Naruto Uzumaki are the same person. After all, there were people in the village who once had the surname Hakaze, but there were only four generations of Hokage-sama. In addition, with the degree of care you care about that little girl, how can you be calm and wait patiently for the result instead of saving her in person? ”

"Advance to the top of the ninja? I? Why haven't I heard of this at all?! ”

Along with the words that came out of Itachi's mouth, Naruto, who was unaware of the rumors, suddenly widened his eyes in disbelief, and his fingers trembled as he raised them, and pointed at himself with suspicion.

"No kidding...... I'm only five years old, alas, how can I be ...... Wait a minute......"

However, before Naruto could subconsciously finish the questioning words that surged up to his throat, Naruto's mind came up with the somewhat strange words of the three generations of Hokage when he asked for help from the three generations of Hokage before leaving the village, and asked him to fabricate the person "Wave Wind Face Ma" for himself.

……

"Is the wave wind numb...... So, Naruto, what type of identity do you want? ”

"Hmm...... It's up to you to decide this grandfather.,Anyway, it's just a disguised identity.,As long as it's not a traitor.,It doesn't matter what~"

"Oh? Whatever...... Hehe, okay, I thought of the old man, what kind of background should I arrange for you, so that it is more suitable for the life experience of your hero's son...... And, it's absolutely authentic and credible~"

……

"Itachi-san...... I seem to understand what you're trying to say......"

Between the words, Naruto raised his hand without knowing whether to cry or laugh, and then sighed helplessly, the corners of his mouth rose slightly, and he whispered softly.

"Grandpa still hasn't put it down after all...... This is trying to compensate me by all means, and I plan to restore the hero I deserve as soon as possible...... I've told Grandpa Hizai countless times, but I don't care about these false names, do I......"

Itachi's words made Naruto feel like a quick knife cutting through the mess, and his thoughts suddenly brightened. And from this, I used it as a clue to find a reasonable explanation for the various anomalies I had encountered before.

In Naruto's plan in advance, he originally thought that the three generations of Hokage would at most arrange a ninja title for "Naruto Naruto". And even if you want to save trouble, bypass those cumbersome layers of approval, and directly obtain the customs clearance documents personally issued by the third generation of the Hokage of Konoha Ninja Village. can also be like the second ancestor of the four people in Yunyin Village, when he encounters the suspicion of others, he confidently says that he relies on the convenience of his background, and at the same time, he creates a harmless second-generation image of a harmless official who can only rely on the relationship and go through the back door.

But if the third Hokage didn't deliberately conceal Naruto's attack with the image of "Hakazemian", he single-handedly subdued the Yunyin Village foursome who invaded the village, and put this credit on the head of "Hakazemian" without any deduction...... That's a bit intriguing.

The powerful young shinobi arrived at the Sand Hidden Village with the customs clearance documents personally issued by the three generations of Hokage, but it was just to perform an ordinary task to escort the caravan, no matter how dull the Sand Hidden Village was, it should have been discovered that Naruto was a drunkard and did not mean to drink...... In such a significant contrast, Naruto's deliberate selection of C-level missions in order to keep a low profile has naturally become a stupid act of not having three hundred taels of silver here.

In other words, because of his single-minded desire to make up for the injustice that Naruto had suffered, the three generations of Hokage did not help Naruto hide his presence in the invasion of the Cloud Hidden Village Foursome as he had done when Naruto asked him to forge his identity. Instead, it was openly spread in the village, so as to portray "Ha Feng Mian Ma" into a heroic character, trying to make Naruto even outside the village with the dazzling aura of "Konoha Hero". So much so that because Naruto didn't reveal too much about the reason for his going out to the three generations of Hokage before he set off, this kind act turned into an ending of doing bad things with good intentions.

"Well...... There's no way, it's already caught the attention of Sand Hidden Village, so you can only take one step at a time......"

With a weak sigh on his lips, Naruto retrieved the customs clearance paperwork from Itachi's hand, but carefully put it back into his backpack. The look of the smile in his eyes was even more invisible.

After all, after hearing Itachi's explanation, Naruto's heart naturally sketched the loving and doting smile of the three generations of Hokage...... For such a kind and respectable old man who always cares about himself and always wants to compensate for himself, Naruto is too late to be happy and satisfied, how can he blame the kindness of the three generations of Hokage because of his mistake of failing to explain to others in advance?

"Anyway, as far as the result is concerned, if it can soothe my Ailuo's wounded heart, it will only be good for Shayin Village, and there will be no harm. In this way, you shouldn't want to stop me...... Tsk, it's just a little painful, and I've been talking to it before."

As the confusion in his heart dissipated, Naruto's usual gentle smile returned to his face. After a slight pause, he quickened his pace a little, and walked briskly towards Shisui and the others, who were waiting for him and Itachi, and the smile on the corner of his mouth became more and more vigorous, and he continued casually to Itachi.

"Let's go, Itachi-san, it's been too long, they're already urging us."

But what Naruto didn't notice was that after he regained his smile, Itachi, who had been staring at him all the time, gradually bent his eyes and smiled as if he was relieved.

"Ah, that's ...... right."

In response to a soft whisper, Itachi nodded, and in his heart, the image of "Naruto", which had been overlapping and entangled with Naruto's image for so many days, and the other image that had captured Sasuke's eyes, was completely separated from Naruto's body. And quietly, the absolute trust in Naruto was restored.

"Be considerate of others and think from the perspective of others......"

"No matter how you think about it, Naruto who values his companion so much...... It's impossible to become that kind of monster. ”
