The entrance to Konoha Village was crowded with people, and the bustling scene was no less lively than a large-scale festival.

Crowds coming from all over the ninja world have blocked the village gate. Considering the security issues, the fifth generation Hokage Tsunade had no choice but to order a cordon to be set up around the perimeter for isolation.

But even so, it still cannot stop the enthusiasm from everyone.

As for Gangzitie and Shenyue Izumo, who are responsible for maintaining order, they are already extremely busy.

"Why don't you let me in?"

"We want to see Naruto!!!"

"That's right, let us in quickly!! In order to see him, I dragged my old body and walked across mountains and rivers from the Land of Waves for two full days before arriving. Do you know how tired I am?!!"

"Everyone, I understand your feelings... But Naruto Uzumaki is currently busy meeting with the shadows and followers of the five major ninja nations, and he really can't spare the time... Please wait patiently."

Gang Zitie had a look of helplessness on his face to appease everyone who was in high spirits.

There was no way, since Naruto defeated Madara Uchiha and lifted the Infinite Tsukuyomi, he ascended to the well-deserved throne of"Hero of the Ninja World" in one fell swoop.

He was once unanimously rejected.

The nine-tailed demon fox transformed into the son of prophecy and attracted countless people every day.

There were famous movie stars, wealthy businessmen from all over the world, and political figures from great powers...

just those high-ranking officials and nobles.

The reception room of the Hokage Building was packed to the brim, and sometimes even the corridors and rooftops were forced to be used as living rooms.

Many girls in adolescence secretly regarded him as Prince Charming, and even some from remote countries. The princess was also secretly in love, and drove all the way here just to see the true face of their dream lover.

It is no exaggeration to say that this person has become indispensable to Konoha Hidden Village and even the Fire Country. A social butterfly.

However, this social butterfly not only has full charm, but also has incredible combat power that can easily unite the entire ninja world. It can be called a mobile humanoid nuclear weapon.

Because of Naruto, Konoha's original dominance has been further enhanced. Consolidate and gain absolute say in the international arena

"Hey, young man, let me ask you again: Are you going to let me go or not?"

"Uncle, didn’t you say that? Uzumaki Naruto is receiving important guests. Everything is on a first-come, first-served basis. We must follow the rules.……"

"If you break any rules, throw them away!! Uncle, let me tell you, Naruto and I are old acquaintances. I remember the scene when we faced back-to-back against Zabuza Momochi, the so-called"Keiman", in the Land of Waves.………"

"Um...you don't have to make up stories. I've seen a lot of guys these days who want to get in through connections. Some are in their 100s or 80s, and they always use the same rhetoric...I even wonder if you guys are doing it secretly. A template was discussed together…………"

Waving his hand slightly, and adhering to the principle of doing things according to the rules, Gangzitie once again rejected the old man's request righteously.

There is no way, although Uzumaki Naruto's current status is not as good as Hokage's, but in terms of influence, it can be said to be very important, and no one in the ninja world can match it.

Not to mention old acquaintances from the Land of Waves, even Konoha locals like them had to line up to shake hands with each other. Their popularity was self-evident.

It can be said that Uzumaki Naruto is now a super idol who is sought after all over the world and has the largest fan group.

"Anyway, I have to see Naruto today!! It’s up to you to think of a solution!!!"

"Hey, hey, is this too much? I'll just look at the door and give you some ideas."

"I don't care!!"

"Tsk, uncle, you are too unreasonable.……"

Steel and iron are full of black lines.

Looking at the people around him who were gradually becoming more and more excited, he felt a sense of uneasiness slowly rising in his heart.

All I can say is that the fanaticism of die-hard fans is truly terrifying.

Seeing that relying solely on words would not work, more and more people began to climb up the guardrail, and there were vague signs that the situation was getting out of control.

"What are you going to do? Isn’t it possible to break through by force instead of grinding hard? ? Believe it or not, I will report it to Lord Hokage and put you all on Konoha's blacklist!!!"

"No matter what, as long as we can see Naruto, we have nothing to fear!!!"

"Crazy... Izumo, these guys are completely crazy.…………"

"what to do? They're about to rush in. The isolation belt won't last long."

"As of now, this is all we can do……"

After thinking about it for a while, Gangzitie patted his friend next to him on the shoulder quite solemnly.

"Izumo, you stop them here first, I'll go back to the village to get reinforcements."

"Are you kidding me?!! How could I possibly stop this huge group of people?"

"In short, I believe you!!!"

"Believe me, you idiot! Ziti, come back here!! Ouch...Uncle, don't pull my hair!!!"

……………………………………

"Phew~~I can finally rest for a while~~~"

Through the tall floor-to-ceiling windows, the midday sun shone directly into the Hokage Tower.

After watching Kirabi and Raikage who came to visit leave, the young man stretched out comfortably Lazy.

The little hedgehog's eyes were narrowed, and the iconic six beards on his face were almost squeezed into one place.

These days, as a prominent figure in the ninja world, he was not only busy meeting with the senior officials of the villages, but also on his way home. Beware of the girls who come over like crazy and ask for autographs.

Well... I used to dream of being the center of everyone's attention, but now that my wish has come true, it feels so troublesome...

I'm too conflicted. ? ?

Naruto held his chin with one hand and began to reflect. After all, he was treated as an alien in the past, but suddenly everyone's attitude changed. It's normal to not get used to it for a while.

The boy was really a little uncomfortable with this sudden enthusiasm.

Grandma Tsunade was obviously the Hokage's job, but now she was throwing it all at me. It was really inappropriate. Responsible...

Or does she want to retire early to make way for me? It's been more than half a month since the fourth Ninja War ended.

, the boy did not have an idle day.

After the memorial service, the diplomatic corps swarmed into Konoha as if they had made an appointment in advance, and without exception, they all asked to see him.

During this time, Naruto basically asked. I just sat in the waiting room during the day waiting to meet guests from all over the world, without even taking a step out of the room to eat. I finally stayed up until night and racked my brains to guard against the enthusiastic fans who were chasing me.

If nothing else happened, today. I'm afraid I have to take a detour... I hope those girls will stop following me home.

Hmm... maybe using shadow clones as bait is a good way to lure them away.…………

"Hey, our great hero, have you had enough rest?"

"Ah, Shikamaru?"

The sound of pushing the door interrupted his random thoughts. Naruto raised his head slightly, and his eyes met those calm dead fish eyes. Shikamaru was still the same, his eyes were always lazy, and his face was as always filled with a look that didn't belong. Calm and mature at this age,

Naruto felt somewhat surprised by his sudden visit.

"Haven't you been learning how to handle files from Kakashi-sensei recently? What, are you done over there?"

"Let’s take it for granted. After all, I’m just a beginner. I only have those tasks every day. Once I finish them, I can clock in and get off work normally.……"

"I really envy you. You can get home on time.……"

Naruto looked helpless and drooped his head, his tone was quite resentful.

"It's different for me, at least I have to stay here until dark"

"But isn’t this the life you’ve always dreamed of?"

"We only know it through personal experience. It turns out that it feels so awkward to be surrounded. I am so busy all day long that I can't even sleep well. It has caused me to have a neurasthenia recently. It is really troublesome.……"

"Tsk, you guy is a typical person who doesn’t know how to be blessed despite being blessed.……"

Also...don't steal my catchphrase for no reason.

Shikamaru placed a hand on his forehead and sighed softly.

For a moment, he couldn't tell whether the person in front of him was showing off or complaining.

"Okay, cheer up, there is a distinguished guest waiting to see you."

"I'm sorry you didn't come here specifically to chat with me?"

"Haha, I'm not that free……"

"Is there any mistake? I just sent Uncle Bi and the others away, can't I let them take a break? Oppose oppression, even machines need a rest!!!"

"Don’t worry, you will be 100% satisfied with this distinguished guest."

Shikamaru raised the corner of his mouth slightly.

Ignoring Naruto's protest, he turned slightly to give up his position.

"Please come in, Kazekage-sama"

""Squeak~~~"

The door opened in response.

What slowly walked in was a young girl wearing an extended windbreaker, about sixteen or seventeen years old, with an absolutely stunning appearance.

She had burgundy shoulder-length short hair, skin Her skin is as white as snow, her facial features are inlaid just right, and her beautiful dark green eyes seem to hold the vast starry sky, which are deep and distant.

Her face and temperament are impeccable, and even the size of her chest is far beyond ordinary people.

"Gaara!!!ヾ(✿゚▽゚)ノ"

The depression was swept away.

After seeing who was coming, Naruto's eyes lit up, and then he showed his trademark silly smile.

The expression transition was extremely natural, and the whole process was as smooth as flowing water.

He was sitting there bored and slumped, suddenly stood up, and then rushed straight in front of the opponent without any explanation.

It looked like a hungry wolf that hadn't eaten in three days.

Seeing this scene, Gaara just smiled slightly.

The girl first took off the green hat that symbolized status, and her every move was elegant.

At first, Gaara planned to visit Naruto as a friend, but as the shadow of a village, she had to maintain Sunagakure's image to the outside world.

Taking into account political needs, after some tossing, Gaara finally chose to follow the advice of the Elder Council: on behalf of the Kingdom of Wind, he went to Konoha in the name of a visit to meet with the Hokage and the great hero who saved the world.

"Excuse me, Naruto"

"Don't bother me, don't bother me, it's not too late for us to be happy to meet you!!!"

Naruto gave Gaara a bear hug without hesitation, his joy was beyond words.

"By the way, why didn't Kankuro and Temari come with you?"

"They are in the Hokage's office, and there is still some time before the meeting, so I took the opportunity to come over and see you."

The girl's words are full of care.

"How's it going? Is your injury feeling better?"

"you saw it too……"

Naruto shook his empty sleeves

"I can’t say I’m safe and sound... Anyway, it’s not life-threatening."

"What about your right arm?"

"Hmm... Granny Tsunade said that it seems that some Hashirama cells from the First Hokage can be cultivated and fused with mine. We don’t know the details~~~"

"Can it be restored to its original state?"

"Who knows? It should be okay... I have to go to the hospital for a full body checkup the day after tomorrow."

"By the way, how is she?"

"……"

The smile froze in an instant.

The unexpected question made Naruto a little at a loss.

And Gaara, who realized that he had said the wrong thing, also reflexively avoided those eyes as blue as the sky.

"Sorry, I don’t really want to say anything about her... What’s more, the higher-ups don’t allow disclosure."

"…………That's it, I understand"

————————————————

"Dinner is ready, Sako Uchiha"

"……"

With a unique clanging sound between metals, the girl was released from her handcuffs.

During the day, only when eating can I briefly regain some freedom.

The guards had no intention of removing the seal from her left eye.

There is no way, the reincarnation eye is too terrifying, just putting it there is a powerful deterrent, especially since the owner of this eye was once a dangerous person with extreme ideas.

To be honest, Zuozi didn't care about his identity.

Whether she is a traitor or a prisoner.

No matter how those people position themselves, Zuo Zi doesn't care.

The girl has always dismissed the opinions of irrelevant people.

These seals had little effect on her.

Even if he loses the power of Six Paths Yin, Sako, who has mastered the complete Susanoo, is still capable of destroying an entire country by one person.

If she insists on leaving, no one in this prison can stop her.

The girl doesn't have much feelings for Konoha. The reason why she is nostalgic for Konoha is simply because her only"love" still lives here.

For him, Zuo Zi is willing to remain anonymous and silently surrender to the shadows

"Will there be tomatoes today?"

Of course Saeko understands that the food in prison has nothing to do with deliciousness. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is difficult to swallow.

The clear soup is watery, and the appetite is offset by most of it at a glance. The portion is not large, and there is no way to feel full. Not being full is just enough to keep one from starving to death.

The girl thought this was just a necessary way of comforting herself.

The scars on her wrists were clearly visible.

With a sense of luck, Zuo Zi opened the lunch box carefully.

"Um? This is………"

Unexpectedly, there was a row of wooden fish flower rice balls inside that didn’t look very good.

The so-called wooden fish is actually another name for bonito.

On the roof of a shrine or palace, there is usually a round bonito for decoration. Because its shape is very similar to a wooden fish, bonito is also called a wooden fish.

Katsuobushi flower is made from secondary processing of dried bonito.

The meat of steamed and dried bonito is extremely hard and difficult to eat without processing. Before eating, you need to patiently carve the fish into shavings with a plane.

Wooden fish rice balls are Sako's only favorite food.

There are only a handful of people who know this information, so it’s easy to figure out who created it without even thinking.

Speaking of which, this was the first time to eat food made by him~~

Sako felt a warm current flowing through his heart.

She put a rice ball into her mouth as if she had found a treasure.

As the chewing deepens, the aroma of the rice becomes stronger and stronger, and at the same time, the unique saltiness of the bonito flowers gradually wraps around the tip of the tongue.

"So spicy, too much mustard……"

The girl's eyebrows furrowed slightly.

A faint blush crept up to the base of his ears without warning.

"You idiot, your cooking skills are so bad, how can I rest assured?…………"
