"Why do you have to let him take such a risk alone?"

"That's enough Naruto."

"If Jiraiya was the Fifth Hokage, he would never let Granny Tsunade take this risk."

Naruto opened the door and left. Although Sakura wanted to say something, she was stopped by Tsunade.

"When something like this happens, Master will feel no better than Naruto." 』

But who will feel better?

Besides...if even Jiraiya is defeated, even with the strength of the entire village of Konoha, can they really defend the village—and defend Naruto?

Until the end of this meeting, Aoi did not recover from this worry, but was hit on the head by Kakashi again.

"You bastard Kakashi, why are you knocking me!"

"Afraid?"

"Who, who is scared! Bastard!"

"Hey, hey, don't be afraid, don't be afraid, it's time to leave."

Everyone who was assigned to analyze the intelligence went out, even Tsunade went out in a bad mood. The only ones left here were Aoi, who had been wandering around, and Kakashi, who was accompanying her.

Indeed, it was time to leave.

Then, think about how to defend Konoha and Naruto.

We must protect our "home", our last refuge.

However, even though she thought a lot, when she passed by the child, she couldn't help but stop and look at his figure silently.

That bright child's back was unusually depressed. In the black night, even if he fell under the bright light, he was not illuminated at all.

The departure of someone seems to take away all the colors and temperatures from oneself.

Aoi understands this feeling very well.

Unknowingly, she walked very close, and even she herself didn't realize how close the distance was. It was so close that no matter how soft her breathing was, or how quiet her footsteps were, Naruto could still notice her presence. .

"Cang Yi...sister."

He wiped his messy face, but the reddish mark was difficult to cover up no matter what - don't do this, she was about to cry.

She sat next to him and just looked at him, not knowing what to say.

She is actually not good at expressing herself, so she will appear particularly useless at this moment.

"I hope that he can always look at me - I want him to see me become Hokage, and always let him see the ugly side of me. I..."

He was almost speechless and began to sob again.

"I... I'm really not good at dealing with this kind of situation. I usually hide and cry secretly for a few days, and then I will gradually get better."

"However, Uncle Jiraiya is very proud of you as his disciple. He always mentions you proudly in front of everyone. He has always believed that you will become Hokage. He has always, without any doubt, been with him. In comparison, I'm far behind."

After all... that is a very heavy position. If possible, I just hope that Naruto can live peacefully.

"However, since you have shouldered the expectations of others, you must continue to live well. Depression will only linger in place. Pick yourself up quickly to move forward——"

Because if you continue to stop where you are, you will still be unable to do anything. When disaster strikes again, you will only continue to lose the only precious things you have left.

"Even if they are not with us, they will continue to look at us, so Naruto, cheer up and continue on the road to becoming Hokage."

"But even if I say that, I still feel sad."

"I will be with you. I will always be watching you."

Even if you have absolutely no idea.

"...Um, sorry, I've been talking to myself!"

"No - thank you, Sister Cangyi." He thanked sincerely, even though he was still embarrassed, he still exuded his gentle light, "Although Sister Cangyi always looks very strict to me, she is very Gentle and very warm - sometimes I think it would be great if Aoi-nee was really my sister like Sasuke."

I am - but what qualifications do I have to claim to be your family member!

Obviously, I have never done anything. Obviously, I have been avoiding you.

What qualifications do you have...

"I'm your family if you want me to be."

But if you are willing to admit this, I...

Would be very, very happy.

Compared to Aoi, Naruto cheered up quickly. Not only did he decipher the code left by Jiraiya, but in order to move on, he went to Mt. Myoboku with Sennin Fukasaku to practice celestial arts.

Cang Yi, who had not been assigned any tasks at that time, also went to see him off and did some things within his power.

"I have put all the supplies in this scroll, and everything is written on it. When I use it, I just need to input chakra to take it out and use it."

"Oh, thank you, Sister Aoi."

"Naruto, it's time to go."

"Okay, come here, Granny Tsunade, Sister Aoi, wait for me to come back!"

With that said, Fukasaku Sage used the counter-spiritual technique to take himself and Naruto to Mt. Myoboku.

Aoi breathed a sigh of relief, and then took a deep breath the next second——

This feels like...the golem shackles she left for Sasuke have been used! ?

what happened! ? What danger is Sasuke in? ? It was obviously not used during the fight with Itachi!

"Cang Yi, what's wrong?"

"Sorry, master, I suddenly learned something just now. I will deal with it later. Now we should concentrate on processing the information left by Master Jiraiya."

Her abnormality was revealed, and everything fell silent to the bottom of her heart, fermenting silently - she couldn't take immediate action, but what was certain was that since "that" was activated, Sasuke would not be harmed.

For now, let’s focus on the crisis that the village will face.

"Hey! Wait, wait, people in front of you, hello!"

Suddenly, a rather clear young man's voice came from behind. He turned around and saw a young man who was wrapped up quite tightly. He looked about the same height as Naruto.

"This is Konoha Hidden Village, right? There are no signposts on the road. Fortunately, someone showed me the way and I finally arrived -"

What, a traveler outside? Instead of listening to this man's chatter here, it's better to get down to business quickly.

Seeing that no one paid attention to him, Zhenyan yelled a few words and let it go. After registering with the guard, he went in by himself.

Is this the old man's former home, Konoha?

He sighed and planned to take a good look at this place.

“Besides, this is grandpa’s village. 』

Even though his grandfather had never mentioned that he missed this place in front of him, from all the things he had done, this was one of the few places he cared about.

However, he can't come back.

The one who came back was Uzumaki Shinen.

Uzumaki Mahi is dead.
