For the first time, I felt that although this guy was noisy, he seemed quite friendly after not hearing him for a long time.

“So, what are your plans for coming back this time?

“Have you mastered Sage Mode?”

After the other party finished speaking, Sasuke asked with a smile.

“Ah, I have completely mastered it!”

When Uzumaki Naruto heard Sasuke’s question, his face was filled with pride.

He stretched out his hand to adjust the position of his forehead protector and said solemnly:

“Now, my strength should have caught up with yours.

“As for my plans, I think I’ll go with you to visit Master’s grave tomorrow.

“As for the future, um.”

There was a flash of confusion in Uzumaki Naruto’s eyes, but he quickly regained his determination and said loudly:

“Of course, I will work hard on my missions and become an elite jonin as soon as possible!

“Finally, move towards the position of Hokage!”

Oops.

Uchiha Sasuke hardly heard what Naruto said later.

Sasuke only reacted when he heard the other party mention “tomb sweeping”.

These days, I actually forgot to tell Uzumaki Naruto that “Jiraiya is not actually dead”!

As for Tsunade, the case has been handed over to Jiraiya to deal with personally, so there should be no problem now.

But Naruto’s side.

“.Speaking of which, you haven’t told me yet, who will be the Sixth Hokage?

“Also, how come the village’s Hokage and Kage Rock are nowhere to be found?”

On the side, Uzumaki Naruto, who had no doubt about it, continued to chatter:

“Are you planning to do another big project?

“I say, could it really be you, Sixth Generation?

“This behavior is very much like your style.”

At the end of his speech, Uzumaki Naruto turned nervous again.

He tilted his head and looked at Uchiha Sasuke, nervously waiting for his answer.

“Not me.

“The Sixth Hokage is Tsunade-sama.”

Uchiha Sasuke said calmly.

In his heart, he was still thinking about how to explain to Naruto the actual situation of Jiraiya.

“ah

“It’s that mother-in-law! Okay.

“That’s understandable.

“After all, he is a legendary ninja who was once as famous as the lecherous immortal.

“Just like us, hehe.”

Sasuke looked at the other person speechlessly, thinking secretly in his heart.

It would be better to take that approach and just bring Naruto to Jiraiya.

Speaking of which, after Jiraiya was awakened that day, Uchiha Sasuke never saw his master again.

Being busy is indeed one aspect.

But more importantly, these days, whenever he thought of Master Gama, Uchiha Sasuke couldn’t help but imagine –

If Jiraiya had not added unnecessary details and involved Uchiha Itachi.

So, would the final outcome of things be very different?

Of course he knew that Jiraiya was acting entirely out of kindness.

He also understood that even without Jiraiya’s advance entrustment, no one would be able to predict what the guy named Uchiha Itachi would eventually do.

However, when faced with unacceptable results, people always instinctively try to find some so-called “reasons” to make themselves feel better.

Jiraiya has not returned home these days.

But because of the above-mentioned mood, Uchiha Sasuke simply turned a deaf ear to this matter.

However, at this time, facing the sudden return of Uzumaki Naruto.

Something that I had intentionally or unintentionally ignored was once again quickly put on the agenda.

“.I’m so hungry, I really want to eat Ichiraku Ramen!

“go together?”

On this side, Uzumaki Naruto was still talking to himself.

In response to the other party’s invitation, Sasuke just nodded silently.

“Great!”

Seeing Sasuke agreed, Naruto’s emotions became high again.

He walked to the clothes rack at the door, picked up his coat, and walked out the door while pulling Sasuke.

He kept saying:

“Oh, you don’t know what kind of heavy-tasting food people eat in Myoboku Mountain!

“They actually made me eat bugs!

“These days, I’m really going crazy!

“This is simply unbelievable!!”

“.Your, this dress?”

Uchiha Sasuke noticed Uzumaki Naruto who had returned from Mount Myoboku.

At this time, he added a scarlet short-sleeved cloak, which looked very impressive.

“Ah, this is.

“Things that the lecherous sage left at Myoboku Mountain.”

Uzumaki Naruto was stunned for a moment, he lowered his head and stroked the coat, his eyes instantly covered with a layer of sadness, and he spoke softly.

However, Naruto soon raised his head again, grinned and asked:

“Very handsome, right?

“right?!”

“Yes.”

On this side, Uchiha Sasuke rarely attacked the other party, but just nodded silently.

At this moment, he just felt that deceiving idiots was really something that was condemned by his conscience.

The intensity of the pain caused by this condemnation is obviously proportional to the degree of idiocy of the other party.

“Let’s go!

“Ramen, ramen, ramen.”

Naruto, who was dressed handsomely, still put his hands behind his head, took a toad-like gait, and staggered towards the door.

Looking at the idiot’s back, Uchiha Sasuke sighed lightly, but finally followed him.

–

The next day, early in the morning.

Uchiha Sasuke and Uzumaki Naruto walked side by side and hurried towards the Hokage Building.

“I said, this is not the direction of the cemetery!”

Uzumaki Naruto looked confused and kept asking beside Uchiha Sasuke.

“As the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, your return is by no means a small matter for the village.”

Uchiha Sasuke did not mince words and whispered:

“I need to report to the Hokage first.”

“Well”

Uzumaki Naruto was stunned, and felt somewhat uncomfortable hearing Sasuke speak so directly.

But then I felt like there wasn’t anything wrong with Sasuke saying that.

When the words came to his lips, he didn’t say anything in the end. He just lowered his head silently.

“Naruto?

“You’re back?!”

The Hokage Building, in the Hokage’s office.

Behind the desk, Tsunade stood up immediately when she saw Naruto return.

At this moment, she was still wearing the common tea green long gown, and the hat that symbolized her identity as Hokage was placed next to her desk.

He didn’t know if it was an illusion, but Uzumaki Naruto just felt that the old lady Tsunade in front of him was different from his previous impression of her.

The whole person looked radiant, and every gesture she made seemed quite bright and attractive.

“Hmm? Has Granny Tsunade developed a new ninjutsu?”

Thinking of this, Uzumaki Naruto, who always speaks his mind, asked directly.
