Naruto, you are a born devil!

That is Naruto Uzumaki.

"I think his name is Uzumaki Naruto."

"Eh? Did I mention his name?" Zuo Zi scratched his head.

"That friend of yours... seems to be very unusual and very powerful." Itachi began to talk.

"How is that possible~!"

Sako immediately showed an impossible expression.

Then he blinked again, as if he thought of something.

"It's not bad. He's relatively outstanding among his peers...but, that guy is actually stupid..."

Seeing the smile that appeared on his sister's lips, Itachi was sure.

If what Shisui said was true.

That means my sister doesn't know Uzumaki Naruto's true strength.

Maybe... I need to visit that demon fox boy in person.

"This is all for the safety of my sister..."

Itachi muttered in his mind.

...

The entrance to Konoha.

The huge building at the junction of the huge city, called the "Meeting Gate", was already bustling with people.

Early in the morning, the roads were lined with people and grassroots ninjas.

The police officers of the Uchiha clan, headed by Uchiha Fugaku, were working very nervously to maintain order.

Anbu sentries placed everywhere in the dark are also preventing any sabotage crimes.

The Uchiha, Sarutobi clan, Inogacho... family ninjas and residents of all sizes were also lined up to greet them, waiting for the arrival of the Kumogakure mission.

In such a crowded posture, Itachi had to hold his sister's right hand tightly to prevent him from being squeezed apart.

Just as Itachi was observing the surroundings.

At the top of a building, Naruto was also looking at everything.

The Kumogakure mission will arrive in more than ten minutes.

Everyone's emotions continued to rise.

Naruto, who decided to recognize the mission's true identity, decided to stay here for a while.

Once you memorize everyone's appearance, you can respond at light speed when an accident occurs.

"A gentleman does not stand behind a dangerous wall." Naruto said a warning.

"What's the meaning?"

The cultural core is completely different, resulting in Kyuubi not understanding this sentence at all.

Especially when Naruto read it directly in Chinese characters, it became like garbled ordering in Kyuubi's ears.

"Kyuubi, you don't study enough, you need to study more."

Kyuubi: "..."

Your chakra can be read as Chadora and you still say that I...

After all, I was taught writing and knowledge by the Immortal of Six Paths back then, okay?

When Kyuubi was cursing Naruto in his heart, the scene changed again.

"Itachi-kun~!"

In the crowd, a beautiful girl suddenly appeared, waving to Itachi.

She has a pair of big eyes, like an elf.

The tear mole under the right eye adds a different kind of charm to it.

An innocent girl, exuding the breath of youth.

The extremely long black hair indicates her bloodline.

Uchiha's hybrid child, Uchiha Izumi.

Her mother's name is Uchiha Hazuki, an ordinary member of the Uchiha clan.

Many years ago, I married a foreign man and received the blessings of my tribe.

During the Nine-Tails Rebellion, Quan's father died to protect the young Quan.

She also opened the "Sharingan" after witnessing her father's death.

When the Uchiha clan relocated collectively, Izumi returned to the clan with her mother.

Although he is a mixed race, no one treats Quan as an outsider.

Not only because Izumi awakened the Uchiha clan's iconic Sharingan, it also foreshadowed the Uchiha clan's unique warmth towards their compatriots.

During the ninja school, Itachi and Izumi were classmates in the next class.

The two have known each other for a long time.

Facing Quan's greeting, Itachi, who held his sister's hand, hesitated.

So, his best friend gave him a push.

"Itachi, this girl is so enthusiastic. If you don't respond, it won't make sense."

With a teasing tone, Shisui pushed Itachi and brought him and Izumi together.

"She is..." Zuo Zi, who had never seen Quan, couldn't help but blinked.

There are so many people in the Uchiha clan, and it is of course impossible for Sako, who is still young, to recognize everyone.

"She's your brother's girlfriend. How do you feel about it, Zuo Zi?"

Shisui touched Sako's head with his palm.

Zuo Zi was stunned.

girlfriend?

Couldn't that be her future sister-in-law?

"It's great to be young..." Watching her eldest son interact with Izumi, Mikoto couldn't help but smile kindly.

Above everyone's heads.

Naruto was also watching all this and fixed his gaze firmly on this Uchiha girl.

Naruto, who recognized Uchiha Izumi's identity at a glance, suddenly thought of many things.

"Hey! Uzumaki Naruto!"

Sako moved Shisui's big hand away, and when he accidentally looked up, he saw Naruto standing above his head with a calm look on his face.

The unprecedented calm expression made Naruto's usually silly face become rare and condensed.

Zuo Zi blinked, feeling a strange feeling in his heart.

Is it my own illusion?

still......

"Oh oh oh~~~!"

Suddenly, the roar of the crowd filled the entire city gate like thunder.

The arrival of the Kumogakure delegation caused the people of Konoha to cheer collectively.

The crowd was moving.

The petals fell like raindrops all over the sky.

The one-eyed leader of the Kumogakure ninja took the lead in entering the gate and raised his right hand to gesture to both sides of the road.

Although he was smiling, a fierce feeling arose spontaneously.

"..."

Naruto ignored Saeko's shout.

Or pretended not to hear it.

His eyes quickly swept across the face of the one-eyed dragon, and then looked at the other ninjas of the Kumogakure delegation and officials of the Land of Lightning.

"One, two, three..."

Including the ninja leader, there are a total of 8 ninjas,

Including the leading officials and assistants, there are a total of 4 bureaucrats.

The Kumogakure delegation has a total of twelve people.

Naruto, who remembered everyone's faces, nodded gently.

Then... took a step and flew to the roofs of various buildings.

"Hey! Uzumaki Naruto... um..."

Saeko, who was swaying left and right in the crowded sea of ​​people, couldn't help herself.

When the crowd was finally pushed aside, Uzumaki Naruto had completely disappeared...

...

At the same time, at the Hyuga clan's residence.

Hinata, who was standing in front of the mirror, was not wearing any makeup.

But she was dressed up.

Hair was combed and she was wearing a brand new kimono.

Hinata Xia was busy with these things, and finally reviewed everything.

"Okay, Hinata-sama."

Today is the birthday of the eldest daughter of the head of the main family, Hyuga Hiashi.

The entire Hyuga clan is preparing for this event.

Therefore, Hyuga became the only clan that did not go to line up to welcome the Kumogakure delegation.

There is a special reason for doing this.

A group of children from the branch family have grown up, and their foreheads have not yet been branded with the "caged bird mark".

Taking advantage of the birthday of the main family's heirs, the children of the branch family will be arranged in accordance with their identities.

Since ancient times, this has been the tradition of the Hyuga clan.

It is also the process for the main family to show its majesty in front of the branch family.

"Naruto-kun~..."

Hinata, who was thinking about Naruto, did not notice the maid's call.

It was not until Hyuga Xia spoke again and again that Hinata reacted.

"Hinata-sama, why have you been distracted these two days..."

Hyuga Xia frowned.

"Please concentrate, otherwise you will suffer if the clan leader finds out..."

"Oh, oh...Okay."

Remembering her father's severity, Hinata nodded immediately.

Then, she left the room with Hyuga Xia.
