Endless Journey from Naruto

"Well, it's out. Then, it's almost time to go back."

After returning to reality, Naruto stretched and looked in Gaara's direction.

Gaara was still lying on the ground and fell asleep.After all, no matter how long the conversation in the spiritual space is, it is only a moment in reality.So Gaara shows no sign of waking up at all.

Gaara is really too sleepy, because Shukaku is sealed in the body, it needs the spirit of Inchuriki to suppress Shukaku.So Gaara basically didn't sleep well.Once he fell asleep, Shuhe's will would wake up.

Long-term lack of sleep caused Gaara to suffer from insomnia.His character is so tyrannical, except because of a series of idiot operations by his father, the Fourth Kazekage, Luo Sha, who are comparable to mental illness.Part of it is also caused by not being able to take a good rest.

Gaara used the technique of dozing off today and fell into a state of deep sleep.Because of the conversation with Naruto and Kyuubi just now, Shukaku needed to stay quietly for a while and think carefully, so he didn't come out to occupy Gaara's body.

Without the influence of Shukaku, Gaara enjoyed the happiness of sleep for a long time.Even if he shouted loudly in his ear, he might not be able to wake up.

tread!

Naruto walked towards Gaara, ready to bring him back to Konoha.You can't let him just sleep here.

In the original, it was because Naruto was exhausted, so Gaara and the three were evacuated.But things are different now.

Although Naruto knew that Sha Yin Village's actions this time were cheated by Orochimaru.But an intrusion is an intrusion, and this cannot be changed.Therefore, it is still necessary to bring Gaara back to Konoha and wait for the result of the negotiation between the two villages.

Naruto is not afraid that Gaara will be executed or something.After all, strictly speaking, Sha Yin was also considered a victim this time.

Suddenly, his own shadow was killed.

Secondly, deceived by the guy who killed the shadow, he dispatched a lot of manpower and material resources to attack Konoha.And it hasn't won yet, and a considerable part of its strength has been lost.For Sha Yin, who was already scarce in manpower and supplies, it was simply worse.

If the high-level executives of Shayin who came to negotiate this time were smarter, they would definitely pack themselves into an image of a complete victim.In this way, Konoha can reduce its war reparations.

To be more shameless, how can we say that our Sha Yin's actions this time were also deceived by your Konoha's rebellious Ninja Orochimaru.We have suffered such a big loss, Konoha should give us some compensation no matter what.

For Konoha, who is now focusing on stability, it is not impossible for this kind of thing to happen.Both Leiyin Village and Yanyin Village are staring at Konoha.Faced with such a situation, it is extremely important for Muye Village, which is gradually weakening, to be able to pull Shayin Village to the back during the war.

And Konoha Village is not without losses in this Konoha collapse plan.

The biggest loss is the death of the third generation of Hokage - Sarutobi Hiruzen.

The death of the third generation had a great impact on Konoha Village.After all, he has led Konoha for decades and is deeply loved by the villagers.Now this death has made many villagers feel uncertain.

Moreover, due to the high prestige of the third generation in the village, the selection requirements for the follow-up Hokage are also extremely high.Not only strength is required, but prestige is also indispensable.

However, Konoha lacks such people right now.

Let's not talk about the Hokage consultants, let's not talk about their abilities.Mitomonyan and Zhuanju Xiaochun, although their strength may not be much worse than the third generation, but after all they are older and comparable to the third generation.If they were chosen, they would stretch their legs and crumble before long.How much does the death of two Hokages in a short period of time affect Konoha?

Let's talk about Danzo, transplanted an arm made of cells between the columns and a three-gou jade writing sharing eye on one arm, plus a water-stopping kaleidoscope writing sharing eye on the left eye.Danzo's strength is almost enough.But the problem is that these things are all shady.No one else knows!

Danzo and his roots have been working in the shadows, making it easy to hide, but at the same time completely erasing himself from the eyes of the villagers.

Some villagers may also have a little impression of Mito Menyan and Zhuanju Koharu.But Danzo?Excuse me, is there such a high-level person in our village?

In this case, unless Konoha Village is really at the end of its rope, Danzo will never be able to take the position of Hokage.

Now, although Muye Village is in distress, it hasn't reached that point yet.There are two people with both strength and prestige.

The first one is Jiraiya who is now in Konoha.As a disciple of the third generation, he was born as a commoner, and he has led Konoha's troops to resist foreign enemies many times.

This makes Jiraiya have great prestige among the civilians and ninjas of Konoha.In terms of strength, it is also absolutely qualified.

The second one is Tsunade who is still wandering outside.Compared to Jiraiya, Tsunade even has an advantage.

In terms of identity, she is not only the granddaughter of the first Hokage Senju Hashirama, but also the disciple of the third Hokage Hiruzaru Sarutobi, so she can be called Gen Hongmiaozheng.

In terms of reputation, Tsunade, who has single-handedly promoted Konoha's overall medical system, is even more popular than Jiraiya in the hearts of everyone.As long as there is a person who has been cured after being sick or injured, there is no one who does not thank Tsunade.

In terms of strength, Tsunade, who is the same Sannin as Jiraiya and Dashemaru, is certainly not a problem.Although I have a blood phobia now, other people don't know it.The enemy doesn't know even more, and the deterrent power it should have is not compromised at all.

And the most important point, another Hokage candidate - Zirai also absolutely supports Tsunade.

Under such conditions, it is basically a certainty that the current Konoha and Tsunade will become Hokage.

Naruto even suspected that even if Jiraiya and Naruto didn't go to Tsunade in the original book, Tsunade would go back to Konoha by himself.

After all, although Tsunade hated those Konoha executives very much, he couldn't understand their behavior style.And because of the successive deaths of his lover and younger brother, he was disheartened.But Konoha is in the end the treasure that her grandfather Senju Hashirama and her second grandfather Senju Fujian have put their painstaking efforts into.In times of crisis, Tsunade will never sit idly by.

Moreover, if Tsunade really did not return to Konoha, Jiraiya really had no choice but to become Hokage.It is estimated that an order similar to 'female ninjas must wear sexy short skirts when not on missions' will be issued immediately.In order to force Tsunade to appear by himself.

This kind of thing can definitely be done by itself.Although you may be beaten to death by Tsunade at that time, but you just say whether Tsunade has come back?

-

Naruto was thinking about something in his mind, and slowly approached Gaara.

Whoosh!Whoosh!

But two figures suddenly appeared, blocking between Naruto and Gaara.

It's Temari and Kankuro.The two of them knew something was wrong when they saw Shuzuru's body slowly disappearing, and they rushed towards Gaara quickly.

As soon as he came over, he saw Naruto approaching Gaara, out of concern for his younger brother.Even though he knew that he was not Naruto's opponent, he still stood in front of Naruto.

"What do you want to do to Gaara?"

Temari spread out her big fan, tightly protecting Gaara behind her.

Shhh!

"Keep down the sound. He is sleeping soundly now. You can tell by the dark circles under his eyes that he has not had enough sleep for a long time. Let him sleep peacefully."

Naruto made a silence gesture to the two of them, and said softly.

"Don't be nervous, I won't kill him. It's just that you Sha Yin lost the attack on Konoha this time. You are only my captives now. Give up resisting and follow me back to Konoha. As for your future What will happen? Let the senior officials of the two villages discuss it."

After listening to Naruto's words, Temari and Kankuro looked at each other, and then at Gaara who was sleeping soundly behind him.In the end, he put down his weapon helplessly.No way, the situation is stronger than people.

"Very good, thank you for your cooperation. Then, [Wooden Dun·Four Pillar Prison]"

Following Naruto's seal, several pieces of wood sprang out from the ground, and soon formed a wooden cage.

"You two, please."

Naruto gestured for Temari and Kankuro to enter the cage.

"Tsk, what a disgusting feeling."

Temari clicked his tongue.

As the daughter of the fourth Kazekage, Temari is definitely a princess-level figure in Sand Hidden Village.With a noble status and a natural beauty, she is deeply loved in Shayin Village.

Temari has only seen places like prisons from the outside, or put people in prisons with his own hands.But it was the first time I felt locked in.

But Temari can only accept reality.With both younger brothers stretching their hips, she, the eldest sister, can only carry the banner of responsibility.

First, he helped Kankuro, who was exhausted and weak from chakra, go in first, and then turned around and hugged Gaara, who was sleeping soundly.

"Then what? You won't let us stay here forever, will you? Why go back to Konoha?"

Temari carefully placed Gaara on the ground, resting his head on his lap.He turned to Naruto and asked.

"Please don't worry about this. 【Spiritual Art】"

Naruto seals again.

boom!

As the white smoke dissipated, a gray-brown skinned toad the size of a room appeared in front of Naruto.

His name is Toad Stone, and Naruto once summoned him in a practice.

Toad Stone has no combat characteristics.The only hobby is to stay in place and rest without moving.It goes really well with Shikamaru.

However, he is very strong and is very good at carrying goods. He often helps the medical team that Toad Drug belongs to deliver herbs.

"Huh? It's Naruto-kun. Is there something you need to deliver when you summon me?"

Toad Stone asked Naruto slowly.

"Yes, please help me transport this cage back to Muye Village. Please, Toad Stone."

Naruto pointed to the wooden cage and said to Toad Stone.

"This cage? Okay, leave it to me."

Toad Stone looked at the wooden cage, opened his mouth, stuck out his tongue, rolled up the entire cage and put it on his broad back with all his strength.

"Well... use this fixation again, and you can set off. Where should you go? Naruto."

Some mud appeared on Hamoshi's back, firmly fixing the bottom of the wooden cage to his back. This is the earth escape he is fairly good at.

After fixing the cage, Toad Stone walked towards the direction Naruto pointed.

Yes, Toad Stone does not use jumping like other toads.Instead, it walks on all fours.

"Slow down, Toad Stone. Don't worry."

Naruto reminded.

"Okay, I know."

Naruto's suggestion fits Hama Stone's character very well.

Naruto's proposal is also so that Gaara can sleep longer.To be a good person is to be the end.

In addition, although Mt. Miaomu's psychic contract has a time limit.But this restriction does not exist for Naruto who has the ability of reincarnation eye and animal path.

In any case, it is also the first-class blood succession limit in the ninja world. Of course, it is impossible to only have the function of transforming psychic beasts.As long as Naruto has enough Chakra, he can always maintain the toad summoned from Mt. Miaomu.

-

Gaara feels amazing right now.He felt that his body was extremely relaxed at the moment.The emotions that made him irritable and restless in his mind seemed to be swept away, making his brain extremely relaxed.

Gaara didn't know where he was, he felt like he was sitting on some kind of vehicle, moving forward at a neither fast nor slow speed.This feeling, is it a carriage?Or a camel?

Gaara doesn't care where he is.He just knows how to enjoy the good time in the moment.The extremely relaxed body, the slowly advancing carriage, and the soft, elastic and comfortable pillow that he was leaning on now.All of this made Gaara feel extremely happy.

But dreams will eventually come to an end.

"Huh? Where am I? What have I done? It's dusk?"

Gaara opened his eyes slightly, he still didn't want to wake up from the comfortable state just now.

"Huh? Gaara, you're awake! How are you feeling?"

Holding Gaara's head, Temari, who used his thigh as a pillow for Gaara all the way, found Gaara's opened eyes.

"Temari? What's wrong with me? You seem to have grown a lot taller."

Gaara, who has not slept normally for a long time, seems to be a little sleepy.

"What are you talking about...hehe, you are lying down and looking at me, of course you feel that I have become taller."

Temari said softly.

Compared with the fearful attitude towards Gaara before, Temari and Gaara are now like a pair of normal siblings.

Looking at Gaara, Temari couldn't help feeling a bit distressed.This is the attitude they should have gotten along with.Unfortunately, for the sake of the village, Gaara became a victim.

"Ok?"

Gaara rubbed her eyes and tried to sit up.

"Be careful."

Temari grabbed Gaara's shoulders and lifted him up.

"This is? Where is this?"

Gaara shook her head, seeming to wake up a little.He looked around and found himself in a cage, being carried forward by a big toad.

"Temari, Kankuro..."

Gaara turned to look at her older siblings.

I found Kankuro leaning against the edge of the cage, as if he was powerless.

"Yo Gaara, you're awake."

But seeing Gaara wake up, Kankuro waved to him and said hello.

Gaara looked at Temari again, and found that Temari was kneeling and sitting beside him.It can be seen that there is also a red mark on her thigh, which seems to be caused by something that has been pressing on it.

Gaara rubbed his head, remembering the comfy pillow he just slept on.

"...Temari, what's going on with us?"

Gaara was silent for a while, and asked Temari.However, his tone now has softened a bit compared to before.

"us......"

Temari was about to answer when he was interrupted.

"Yo, good evening. You finally woke up."

Naruto's voice came from outside the cage.

Gaara looked back and saw Naruto standing outside the cage, holding a few pears in his hands.

"I just woke up, I must be hungry and thirsty. Here, I bought these and put them in the storage scroll. Don't worry, eat them."

Naruto threw the pear in his hand to Gaara.

rustle!

Gaara didn't reach out to catch the pear, a layer of fine sand surrounded him and caught the pear.Then he threw it into Temari's arms.

"what have you done?"

Gaara asked Naruto.

"About this, let me briefly explain it to you. In short, you lost this time and are now my captives. We are going to Konoha now. We will wait for people from Yinsha Village to negotiate."

Naruto briefly introduced the situation to Gaara.

"..."

Gaara didn't reply, but looked at Temari.Knowing what he meant, Temari nodded slightly.

"By the way, you're lucky. As Jinchuriki, you have an older sister who loves you so much. Do you know? You fell asleep for nearly four hours. For these four hours, Temari-san has been there as a pillow for you Oh, I haven't moved at all."

Naruto gnawed on a pear, sat on the edge of the cage, and said to Gaara.

"Temari..."

Gaara looked at Temari, wondering what he was thinking.

"In short, you just stay here honestly. As long as Yinsha Village is willing to negotiate, there is a high probability that you will be fine."

Naruto continued.

"However, if you still want to fight, I can also accompany you."

"Are you also Injuriki?"

Gaara asked.

"Huh? Yeah, I was the day I was born."

Naruto admitted generously.

"Aren't you affected?"

Hearing Naruto's answer, Gaara couldn't help feeling a little bit of joy.He also became Jinjuriki as a baby.He felt he had found his kind.

"Influence? Which aspect do you mean? Self or the outside world?"

Naruto asked back.

"It's fine for me. However, the outside world is different. As Renzhuriki, I'm an orphan. It was quite difficult at the beginning. Being hated by others is the second most important thing. The key is that the problem of eating is not easy to solve."

Naruto leaned back against the cage and spoke in a flat tone.

"Even if you have money, you can't buy something to eat. Everyone treats me as a monster, and hides away when they see me. If you want to eat, you have to find a way by yourself. But fortunately, Konoha's river There are a lot of fish in it. It made me survive. Hahahaha."

Naruto laughed as he spoke.

"...don't you hate them?"

Gaara can't understand why Naruto still laughs when he talks about being ostracized.

"Do you hate it? It doesn't matter. I don't care what those people think of me. To me, those people are like stones on the roadside. Do you hate stones on the roadside?"

Naruto asked.

"Then, why don't you leave? With your strength, can you leave?"

"Leaving? Although I have thought about it. However, there are people in the village who I care about, and there are people who care about me. So, in the end, I still didn't leave."

"Who do you care about? Do you care about your own people?"

Gaara muttered to himself.

"Looking at you, you don't get along very well with the tailed beast in your body. As a senior, I would like to offer you some advice. The tailed beast is not a ruthless monster. Try to communicate with him. Open your heart and communicate with it sincerely. "

Naruto suggested to Gaara.

"Also, just to remind you. You are not alone, look around. There are still people who love you in this world."

As Naruto said, he stood up, threw away the pears he had eaten, and jumped off Hama Stone's back.

"Do you love me?"

Gaara stared at her hands, silent.

"Gara, let's eat a pear. I haven't eaten anything except breakfast today."

Gaara's contemplation was interrupted by Temari's voice.

Gaara looked at Temari and found that Temari was holding a pear and looking at him.And there was a pear in her other hand and in Kankuro's.It's just that it's much smaller than the one given to him.

"..."

Gaara didn't take the pear Temari handed him.He just sat down next to Temari.Gently took the smaller one in her hand, and ate silently.

"Huh? Huh."

Temari froze for a moment, smiled and said nothing.The three siblings ate quietly.

"Temari, Kankuro..."

Gaara spoke suddenly, attracting Temari's attention.

"Ok?"

"what happened?"

"Thank you, and I'm sorry."

Gaara lowered her head and said.

"Huh? Heh, why did you think of saying this? Don't worry about it."

Kankuro froze for a moment, then said with a smile.

"That is to say, we are family members. Are you full? I can't finish this one, so let me give it to you."

Temari said and handed Gaara the pear he had only eaten a few mouthfuls of.

"...thanks."

Gaara took it and ate it.Just like a normal little boy who gets rewarded with snacks after acting like a baby to his sister.

After all, this is how they should get along.
