The influence of the Second Sky Curtain is rapidly fermenting in the world.

When Naruto took a small boat and arrived at the Land of Waves through the underground waterway, the shore was full of people.

When those poor people who were living under the oppression of Kado saw Team 7, they were like seeing a savior, with smiles of surprise and excitement on their faces.

"That——is that Uzumaki Naruto? The one on the sky screen?"

"He looks so small... much smaller than on the sky screen."

"Will he stay, or will he leave soon?"

"The pink-haired girl next to him, is that Sakura? What about the black-haired boy? He seems to have disappeared later?"

Danaz immediately went to see the ferryman, shocked and angry:"You! You spread the news! ? If Cardo knew about this...——!"

"Yes, I'm sorry!" The boatman looked at Naruto, with a complex expression of pain and expectation on his face:"After you said that you commissioned the ninja of Konoha, and it was the Uzumaki Naruto on the sky, I couldn't help but excitedly told my friends... and then somehow, everyone knew about it."

Seeing that they seemed to have extra expectations for Naruto, Hatake Kakashi had to emphasize:"Our mission is just escort."

He sighed in his heart, thinking that the people who appeared before were just the Chunin of Kirigakure, so he reluctantly continued the mission, but if a Jonin appeared next, he was not sure that he could protect the three Genin, so it would be better to withdraw early:"Originally it should have been a B-level mission, but we didn't add money, so we still treated it as a C-level mission."

Hearing this, the boatman lowered his head in disappointment:"Is this the case... I'm very sorry……"

When Team 7 came ashore, a little boy rushed to the front of the crowd, looking at Naruto with sparkling eyes:"Are you Uzumaki Naruto? Are you the hero who can save us?"

Dazna was surprised and said:"Inari!"

Naruto was confused and said:"Inari?"

"He is my grandson.……"Dazna explained, then stood in front of Team 7 to block the crowd for them:"Everyone! The ninjas from Konoha are only responsible for escorting me home, please don't cause them any trouble."

As soon as these words came out, people's eyes flashed with the same disappointment as the boatman just now.

"But, isn't Uzumaki Naruto very powerful?" Someone in the crowd suddenly spoke up,"He's so powerful, why can't he help us?"

Before Hatake Kakashi could say anything, Dazna had already roared angrily:"You spineless guy! This is our own country, our own home! If you want to protect it, you should rely on your own strength to protect it. How can you be so shameless to ask others to die for you!"

"But aren't they ninjas? Aren't ninjas people who work for others?!"

Dazna yelled back even louder:"Can you come up with enough money?"

The crowd suddenly quieted down, and Dazna walked home angrily. People silently made way for them and just watched them leave.

"Don't worry," Dazna said in a low voice after getting away from the crowd:"As long as you send me home, your mission will be accomplished. I will not make any other unreasonable requests. I am already very grateful that you are willing to send me here."

Hatake Kakashi scratched his face in embarrassment. He didn't know what to say when the bad client suddenly became so reasonable.

At this moment, the sky lit up again.

Hatake Kakashi stopped immediately,"Sakura! Sasuke! Naruto! Alert!"

Damn...! If it gets dark now, if someone attacks, it will be a great opportunity!

And... isn't it once a week?! The previous time was not fixed?!

【The client died a terrible death.】

As the words appeared on the screen, the bullet screen also appeared.

"The sky is bright again now? I thought it was once a week."

"Is this... the title of this story? It used to be released at the end of the film, but this time it's released at the beginning? What's the meaning of this change?"

"Maybe the sky was just adjusted randomly"

"A terrible client? Help me, my blood pressure has just risen because of a client. Will I be pissed off again when I see Tianmu?!"

【An old man wearing a Hokage hat appeared on the sky.】

"Third Hokage!"

"Hmm? Is it the dead? Is he also manipulated?"

"Last time, the deceased Fourth Kazekage fought against his son Fifth Kazekage. Will the deceased Third Hokage fight against his son this time? Could it be that Tianmu is saying that the future Third Hokage's son will become the successor to Hokage?!"

"The Third Hokage has a son? Who is it?"

"His name is Sarutobi Asuma, I remember."

"The Third Hokage vs. the Fifth Hokage Sarutobi Asuma? Good!"

Sarutobi Asuma:"???"

He doesn't want to be Hokage at all!!! And his relationship with the Third Hokage is completely different from that of Rasa and Gaara!!

In the desert, Gaara and Sasori were on their way, but the sky screen suddenly started playing, so they stopped for a while and took a break.

Gaara saw the speculation in the screen and couldn't help asking:"Sarutobi Asuma...isn't his father, the Third Hokage, not good to him?"

"No," said Scorpion,"According to my information, they have a good relationship."

Gaara:"Why didn't the Third Hokage put the Nine-Tails into his son's body? If Asuma Sarutobi was the Jinchuriki, what would he do to him?"

Scorpion:"Don't think about boring things."

Gaara stopped talking.

Scorpion didn't want to admit that he was a little disappointed, but then he laughed at himself in his heart: What? Do you really think that your parents, who have been dead for so long, will say anything to you on the sky curtain? But it doesn't matter... it doesn't matter.

Maybe he will be able to see them in person soon.

……

A few days ago.

The moment he saw Gaara, Scorpion didn't plan to do anything. Jinchuriki is not a good material for making human puppets, not to mention... Just looking at him standing in the yellow sand, anyone who has ever heard the song"Signpost" can seem to see behind him the figure of Karula trying her best to protect her son.

It's not so much that Scorpion didn't want to attack Gaara, but rather that he didn't want to fight with such a mother.

So he just stood in front of Gaara, and felt that he was rarely kind enough to say to him:"Hey, kid, why are you outside alone?"

Gaara looked at him coldly without saying a word.

"Go back quickly," Scorpion was unmoved by his cold face:"You may think you are powerful as a One-Tail Jinchuriki, but there are many powerful bad guys out there, and your mother may not be able to protect you all the time."

"Who are you?"

"……He is just an insignificant passerby who has seen the sky." Gaara ignored him and tried to get away from Scorpion:"My business has nothing to do with you."

Scorpion looked at his back and suddenly said:"You are not going to defect, are you?"

Gaara paused.

"Why? Would your mother want you to do that?"

"That kind of man... that kind of father... that kind of Kazekage……"Gaara turned his head and looked at Scorpion with a hateful expression,"Why should we continue to stay in the Sand Village like that?"

"I see." Having rebelled against the village before, Scorpion quickly understood Gaara's feelings."But you are an important Jinchūriki, the Sand Village will not let you go."

Gaara was silent.

"To become a rebel, you must have a stronger power"

"You sound very experienced."

"Ah, it's nothing, I just dealt with a lot of rebel ninjas before." Scorpion said:"I know a way to get you out of the Sand Village for a while.——"

Gaara frowned,"Why are you so eager to help me with advice?"

"because……"Scorpion used the transformation technique to disguise his body and smiled:"I like your mother very much.……"

Before he could finish his words, Gaara slapped him hard with a slap.

"Don't misunderstand me.……"Scorpion used the instant body technique to escape, but also exposed the identity of the ninja:"I mean, her love for you is touching."

"You are... Scorpion of the Red Sand, right?" Gaara crossed his arms, looked at Scorpion who still hadn't untied the transformation technique, and narrowed his eyes."I saw you in the desert last time, and I haven't forgotten your chakra fluctuations."

Scorpion didn't deny it:"Humph, you ruined my business twice, kid."

"This time you jumped out by yourself"

"It seems that people are still incapable of doing good things."

"Why did you betray the Sand Village?"

"Didn't you tell me the reason for betrayal? It's just a few points - with that Kazekage and that Sand Village, why should I be loyal to him?"

"What do you want to do in the Kingdom of Wind this time?"

"In your own words - my affairs have nothing to do with you."

But looking at Gaara, watching him standing in this world, thinking of his mother hugging him in the sand all the time, Scorpion remembered his own father and mother. When he was a child, he had to use chakra lines to manipulate himself to get a hug.

Ah... It's really unpleasant.

Scorpion couldn't help but said irritably:"Humph, don't worry, I'm just going to get something I left behind before."

"what?"

"I made two puppets myself. [Father] and [Mother]】"Scorpion said calmly:"My parents died in the Second Shinobi World War. I made these two puppets in their image. After listening to the song your mother gave you, I wanted to take my mother back. What's the problem?" The two stood in the desert, facing each other in silence for a long time.

Then, Gaara suddenly said:"Have you ever thought about meeting them? The living ones?"

"What do you mean?"

Gaara said:"The ruins of Loulan"

"Do you know how to remove the seal?"

"I don't know. But you wanted to sneak in before, didn't you know?"

Scorpion said,"I have to see the sealing technique with my own eyes to know."

"Baizu traveled 6 years ahead of time and met the Fourth Hokage."Gaara said slowly:"6 years... my mother, Yashamaru, is still alive. How about you?"

Scorpion:"……Probably a few years further back."

The two looked at each other and hit it off.
