[Hokage + Natsume] Do you believe it?

Naruto heard that Otonin was taking Natsume and the little fox to eat noodles at the noodle restaurant at the foot of the mountain when he was attacking Konoha. He was stunned for a moment when he heard the news. I didn't care.

This time Naruto ignored Natsume's wishes and insisted on sealing him into the scroll.

"Natsume-kun, I passed the seal the last time I came back, so I think you should be able to go back. This world is not suitable for you, and there must be many monsters and humans waiting for you in another world."

"Blue fox, what do you want to do? I don't want to..."

"Natsume-kun, you shouldn't escape. I thought you've figured it out for so long... Even if you want to escape, it shouldn't be this world. The world I mentioned is really bloody."

"Aren't you also running away?" Natsume pressed Naruto's hand holding the pen.

Naruto paused, his expression made Natsume feel very sad, but he just smiled, "You are right, I am indeed running away, so I am not running away now... I am going back."

Yes, he can't put Konoha down, if he can put down Konoha, he wouldn't be Uzumaki Naruto.

"……sorry."

"It's okay, I only have one scroll now, so I will send you back first, even if I fail, I can release you again, I will keep you, little fox." Naruto prepared to seal the scroll after drawing it, but he was interrupted again.

"Blue Fox, I will go back, but let me see that you are all right, I will go back when I see that you are all right, so let me go to Konoha with you, I also want to see your home, Blue Fox. "Natsume had a slight smile on his face, unable to tolerate Naruto's refusal, "Lanhu, I don't want to leave any regrets, at least let me know that you are safe."

"……it is good."

Even though bringing Natsume would be a lot of trouble, Naruto still didn't refuse, because this separation should be a farewell, but it doesn't matter, he will protect Natsume, and he will safely send Natsume back to that peaceful world.

Because of Natsume and Little Fox, Naruto's speed is much slower, but fortunately they live not far from Konoha.When Naruto arrived at Konoha, it was a mess again, and he didn't have time to think about running directly in the direction of the strong chakra fluctuations.

He saw Sasuke again.

At this time, Sasuke was like a bloodthirsty Shura, covered in blood, and the eyes of the blood wheel turned wildly, holding up the sword and slashing at Sakura on the opposite ground.

"Blue Fox--"

"elder brother--"

Naruto stood in front of Sakura, and Kunai pressed against the Kusanagi sword, but because of the momentum, the Kusanagi sword was still shaking, his arms were numb and he could hardly hold Kunai.

"Hmph, the one at the end of the crane, I thought you wouldn't go back to Konoha even if you died. You always sabotaged my plan. I should have killed you last time." Sasuke didn't seem surprised when he saw Naruto. Press the Grass Pheasant Sword down again forcefully.

"Naruto..." Xiao Ying, who was clutching her stomach and lying on the ground with serious injuries, was stunned when she saw the person standing in front of her, and called out softly, "You're finally back..."

"It's a pity that there is no medicine for regret in this world." Naruto parried the Kusakachi sword with all his strength, and formed seals with both hands, "Shadow Part·Body Technique!"

"Can't you change one after so many years? You haven't grown at all." Sasuke stood among many Naruto and curled his mouth mockingly, watching Naruto's shadow, taking the injured Konoha ninja on the ground to a safe place. place.

"I've let you down." As soon as Naruto's voice fell, the two of them huddled together. Natsume couldn't even see their figures, but could only hear the sound of constant body collisions or weapons collisions, and the people next to them People covered in blood are really scary...

The little fox hid behind Natsume in fear and hugged Natsume's legs tightly. Konoha's ninjas had little ability to fight again, and they all sat on the ground and watched the battle nervously while recovering.

When Natsume saw Naruto's figure again, the two of them bounced off and knelt on one knee, and there were two shadows standing beside Naruto, slapping Naruto's outstretched right hand continuously, so Naruto The blue spiral pill in the palm is getting bigger and bigger, and at the same time the Chidori on the assistant is also singing.

The two figures disappeared at the same time, and the next moment——

"Spiral pills!"

"Thousands of birds!"

"boom--"

The explosion this time was unexpectedly terrifying. Natsume had seen the spiral pill when he and Naruto checked the blood of monsters, but the spiral pill at that time was completely different from the present one, and there was also a chidori of the same level as the spiral pill .

This is the first time he understands why Shiro was afraid of Naruto at the beginning, it was really scary, presumably the explosion in the field when Naruto disappeared was also due to this?

And look at the normal look of the people around him and their recovery from injuries... He finally understood why Naruto said this is a bloody world, he was really grateful to Naruto for protecting himself for so long, not to let Exposure to these aspects of himself was horrifying to him.

"This time it's just a small test, the one at the end of the crane, you have to protect this rotten village, it won't be so easy next time." Sasuke stood on the tree and inserted the grass pheasant sword back into its scabbard, condescendingly Looking at Naruto who was half kneeling on the ground, he glanced at Natsume who was surrounded by shadows not far away, turned around and left with Otonin.

After Sasuke left, Naruto seemed to have finally relaxed, and the shadow clones around him disappeared one after another, and then his legs softened and he knelt on the ground, his face was pale as he pressed his hands on his throbbing heart.

"Oops, the blue fox is sick again!" Natsume was stunned for a moment before reflecting, and immediately pulled the little fox and ran over, "Lanhu, how are you?"

The clothes on Naruto's body were stained with red blood. Although he was not seriously injured, there were many minor injuries, but these minor injuries in their eyes were serious in the eyes of Natsume and the little fox.

"...It will be fine in a while, I'm sorry Natsume-kun, I seem to have scared you and the little fox." Naruto frowned and smiled, stood up and walked towards Konoha Ninja.

"It's really troublesome... But fortunately, you are finally willing to come back." Shikamaru, who was supported by Ino, still spoke his mantra, "If you don't come back again, my agent will go on strike."

"sorry."

Hokage-sama, who had been missing for five years, finally came back. The villagers in Konoha were very happy when they heard the news. At this time, Naruto was lying in the hospital for examination. Natsume was standing at the door with the little fox in his arms, waiting. The gaze on him made him uncomfortable.

"Hey! You bastards, calm down, Natsume is just an ordinary person, you will scare him!" Although Sakura was still a little pale after initial treatment, she was in good spirits.

After receiving the test results, several people waiting at the door looked at each other in blank dismay, Natsume felt something was wrong and hurriedly asked what was wrong.

"It's nothing, it's just a little troublesome." Sakura waved her hand indifferently, but what she didn't know was that Natsume was especially sensitive to human emotions.

Those worries were real, and he didn't feel wrong.

"How is it?" Naruto got dressed and came out. He had already changed out of his previous clothes, and now he was still wearing orange, but there was a white Hokage suit on the outside.

Sakura directly handed the report to Naruto, her knuckles crackling, "Your heart is wrong, can you tell me what's going on, Naruto?"

"It shouldn't be a problem. I'll take Natsume and the others back first. Let's talk about what's going on tomorrow. It's getting late haha." Even though he hasn't seen him for five years, Naruto still remembers Sakura's character, and he has no self-torture thoughts , and with Natsume-kun around, Sakura probably wouldn't do anything...

Sakura really didn't make things difficult for him, and even the others didn't ask too much.

Naruto led Natsume and the little fox to his hut, and greeted the villagers from time to time along the way. When he passed Yile Ramen, his pace paused, and he led Natsume in.

Ah, it's almost time for dinner.

After eating the noodles, Naruto walked slowly holding the little fox's hand, "Natsume-kun, stay at my house today, tomorrow, tomorrow I will send you away."

"Yeah." This is a beautiful place, and along the way he also saw the kindness of those people towards Naruto, "They like you very much."

"Ah, isn't it beautiful here? I have to protect the peace here, so I'm back."

If Naruto's smile was erratic before, then his smile is much heavier now.Now that he is back, he has to be responsible to Konoha, what happened five years ago will not happen again.

Five years is enough.

Naruto's house is very small, even though he later became Hokage, he didn't change his place of residence. Someone always came to clean the house, it was clean, but it lacked some popularity.

"Natsume-kun, you can sleep in the bed with Xiaohu. I'm sorry, because I lived alone before, so my house is a bit small." Naruto looked around at this familiar yet unfamiliar home, and suddenly felt very embarrassed.

It was really bad, even worse than the cabin they lived in before, things were piled up in a mess.

"Naruto-kun." Lying on the bed Natsume called out Naruto's real name for the first time, the moonlight came in through the window, he could see Naruto laying on the ground with his arms behind his head, he was still awake.

"Ok?"

"You will be happy, believe it."

"Ah, yes, Konoha will be fine, and I will be happy."

Naruto got up very early the next day, because Shikamaru urged him to go to Hokage's office early in the morning. When Natsume woke up, he didn't see Naruto. An ordinary ninja immediately jumped in front of him when he saw him get up, "Hi Natsume Sir, Hokage-sama is in Hokage's office, he asked me to take you to him after you wake up, breakfast is already on the table."

"Ah? Good." Natsume hugged the little fox and followed behind the ninja after eating in a hurry.

"Natsume, are you leaving?"

"Yeah, we will meet again." Living with the little fox and the others for so long, Natsume actually hated them, but no, he had to go back.

As Naruto said, he can no longer escape, and after so long, he somehow wants to understand the reason why they did that.

When Naruto saw Natsume and Little Fox coming in, he immediately put down his pen, "Xiaohu, there are enough scrolls now, you and Natsume-kun can leave together."

"Brother, don't you want me?"

After so long, the little fox already knows that Naruto is not his brother, but a human, a monster.

"Why would I not want you, it's just..."

"I don't want to leave my brother!"

Naruto didn't insist on the little fox in the end. Emotionally, he wanted the little fox to stay. He sealed Natsume into the scroll and then opened the seal. Sure enough, he disappeared.

His assumption is correct, Natsume-kun, goodbye.

At the same time, the person lying on the snow-white hospital bed in another world finally slowly opened his eyes.

"teacher……"
