Konoha: Naruto Returns from Sekiro

outside world.

"Ninja Sect, Six Paths Sage..."

On the bed, Naruto put his head in his hands and looked up at the old ceiling that hadn't been repainted for a long time.

Judging from what the Nine Lamas just said, the Sage of the Six Paths is a real person.

Perhaps because he is a surprising being, he accepted this kind of mythical figure quite quickly.

Although Jiu Lama has already said that the Immortal of Six Paths has passed away, he still feels that things will not be that simple.

The world of the undead has the means of resurrection, but he does not believe that this world does not.

"Nine Lama, what kind of person is the Sage of Six Paths?" Naruto suddenly asked.

"...an annoying old man."

"Really?" Naruto glanced at the bright moon outside the window and didn't ask any more questions.

In the myths and legends of this world, the moon was created by the Immortal of Six Paths...

……

The next day.

After many days, the hot summer finally ushered in another rain.

But people were not delighted by the temporary retreat of the scorching heat, and there were traces of sadness on everyone's faces.

Although Sunagakure and Otogakure's plan to collapse Konoha failed, it also dealt a heavy blow to Konoha. The third generation Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen even died in the battle with the rebel ninja Orochimaru.

In front of the Konoha Monument.

Countless villagers gathered here spontaneously, presenting a pure white stamen to the dead heroes.

Choking and sobbing, as the ceremony continued, people's emotions were not relieved, but became heavier.

Naruto, wearing the black mourning clothes he had just bought, stood among the crowd and looked at the monument in front of him.

Soon, the ceremony came to the last part.

Naruto followed the crowd and presented a white flower to the deceased as a token of his remembrance.

【farewell……】

For the third Hokage, his nominal guardian, he doesn't have much hatred, but he doesn't have much love either, but after all, he has taken care of himself for many years, so he deserves to offer a flower.

This memorial service commemorates not only the Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen, but also the numerous ninjas who died in this war with Sunagakure and Otogakure.

After the ceremony, everything returned to normal.

Life still has to go on.

Since Konoha's restoration work took away quite a few ninjas, the accumulated task load was naturally all on the idle ninjas.

"...The chick is about to spread its wings and fly high, so work hard." Naruto smiled at Raimon and the two.

Kaminarimon and Izuno nodded, they were assigned to a mission under a veteran Chunin.

Now that the manpower is tight, the junin have been assigned tasks one after another, so it is naturally impossible to guide these newcomers.

But after all, they were still in the novice stage, and the village was obviously not at ease, so they appointed some older Chunin as captains.

It can not only alleviate the problem of manpower shortage, but also solve the backlog of tasks more efficiently.

Of course, none of this has anything to do with Naruto.

Because he was 'grounded'.

Due to the temporary vacancy of the position of Hokage, two advisors, Mito Monobu and Koharu Kagawa, temporarily took over the Hokage's functions.

As veterans who have gone through the first ninja war, the second ninja war and the third ninja war, they have their own unique views on how to deal with renjuriki.

In their view, like Sand Yin, it is the most correct way not to treat Renchuriki as a human being at ordinary times, but to use Renchuriki as a one-time item when needed.

Like Hiruza Sarutobi, letting Jinchuriki go in and out of Ninja Village wantonly is simply nonsense!

So of course, Naruto was 'grounded' in Konoha Village.

After watching the two people leave, Naruto also walked towards his 'temporary residence'.

Along with his walking, several Anbu also moved in the surrounding corners.

Glancing at them, Naruto didn't pay attention to them. For so many days, what should be seen and what shouldn't be seen has been seen.

Regarding surveillance, he could only say that when a person is extremely disappointed with something, he will no longer have any unnecessary emotions.

Putting himself in his shoes, he could also understand why the two consultants were spying on him.

Konoha has just lost a third-generation Hokage, and other ninja villages are still eyeing it. If there is something wrong with him, "Big Ivan", it will be a lot of fun.

But understanding doesn't mean understanding, especially when he is still the one being monitored.

Turning around a corner, before Anbu who was watching him followed, Naruto quickly separated a shadow clone, and he himself quickly changed into the appearance of other people and mixed into the crowd.

He was going to leave this terrible place.

The world is so big, there is nowhere to go, since he is not treated as a human being here, he is not waiting.

Don't say that Konoha has been kind to him in nurturing him, nonsense, his father in this world is still Konoha's hero.

People live, what they pay attention to is an inner understanding, happy love and hatred.

People, as long as there are many deaths, many things can be seen clearly.

He had no chance before, but now, with the help of Nine Lamas, he already has a lot of arrogance.

According to his observations in the past few days, the Anbu's surveillance of him did not leave no gaps.

The senior officials obviously didn't expect a few ANBU to be able to keep an eye on him. In addition, the manpower was tight recently, and the ANBU assigned to monitor him were not very powerful.

In other words, these guys never thought that a young Jinchuuriki like him would give up his burden.

After all, he who was born in Konoha and grew up in Konoha, where can he go without Konoha?

To monitor him, the formal significance is greater than the actual significance.

Following 'him' back to his residence, several ANBU found their fixed observation positions and hid them.

Leaf door.

Despite the recent war, the flow of people coming and going has not decreased at all.

The reason is very simple, Konoha once again "defeated" Sand Yin not long ago, as for Yin Yin, the people who don't know why they eat melons only regard him as a "bastard" who cheers and cheers.

Naruto looked up at the tall gate. This might be the last time he passed through this gate.

Thinking, he slowly disappeared at the end of the road with the flow of people.

……

three days later.

The capital of the country of wind.

Naruto, whose clothing style changed drastically, looked at the customs and customs around him with great interest.

Perhaps because of the difference in topography, compared with the Land of Fire, the people of the Land of Wind are more bold and unrestrained, and their diet is not as meticulous as that of the Land of Fire, but rather rough.

Life is not only about the present, but also poetry and the distance.

Going to different places and experiencing different customs was also his dream in the first life, but due to economic strength, he never realized it until his death.

The second world of the undead, the tranquility and far-reaching of Xianfeng Temple, the darkness and eerieness of the bottom of Weiming, the novelty and magnificence of Yuanzhi Palace...

Although I didn’t go to these places based on my dreams in the first place, after all, I have walked through them and seen them.

So he had no regrets about it in his second life.

In the third life, that is to say, today, due to the status of Renzhuli, even if there is a chance to leave the village, they will still be active on certain routes and fixed places.

The situation is different now.

"Have a Sixi meatball." Naruto observed for a while, and after the stall owner asked, he finally chose to buy one to try.

"What are you going to do next?" Nine Lamas asked in the spiritual space.

"Since you're here, you'll be safe." Naruto bit off a ball, "Since we're all in the Land of Wind, why don't you go and see Gaara."

"Nine Lamas, are you interested in seeing the world together?"

"……up to you."

"Let's take a look together then." Naruto smiled lightly.
