He had thought he was on the same side as the other side.

After all, the suffering this little guy has endured over the years is no less than that of the Uchiha clan.

But the result was a rejection.

Although it did not directly express an invitation or a willingness to cooperate further.

But Naruto's attitude at this moment was already very clear.

Is it the superficial bonds formed at school that are causing this?

Is it the bond between teacher and student, Iruka Umino, that keeps him in his tracks?

Or perhaps it's the hidden will of Asura, the second son of the Six Paths, emphasizing the inherent goodness of human nature?

In short, it doesn't matter anymore.

Huang truly wanted to utilize everything available and gather all the power he could find before that day arrived.

With the strongest posture and the most powerful force, we will challenge the foundation of this strongest ninja village.

of course,

When utilizing and uniting these things and forces, he will also form alliances with an attitude of equivalent exchange.

Protecting Naruto's way of life in this ninja village and making everyone who dares to insult him pay a heavy price is the equivalent condition he set in his heart.

And with the help of Hyakume-ki, the Mangekyou Sharingan was awakened.

This also gave it enough confidence to control that mere half of the nine-tailed fox, allowing it to peacefully become a rent-paying employee.

As for refusing, he wouldn't force the issue.

Because the power it has accumulated is enough to fight a battle against a top-tier, powerful ninja village.

Moreover, he also had Orochimaru and Rasa, two hidden allies.

"Uchiha Ara, what exactly do you want?"

"Your clan is not allowed to have contact with Naruto Uzumaki, have you forgotten?"

When Ara abandoned his thoughts about recruiting the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, the roars that had been lingering in his ears began to become clearer.

Such remarks immediately brought the entire scene to a standstill.

Only the Konoha ninja who uttered those words continued to speak angrily.

Huang looked in the direction of the sound.

He was a middle-aged man wearing dark green ninja armor, with the Sarutobi clan crest embroidered on his armor.

A clear hostility emanated from him.

After pondering silently for a while, Huang finally formed a faint memory of this guy.

It seems that he had met Sarutobi when he attacked the Sarutobi clan's territory in the past. However, although he was wearing dark green ninja armor symbolizing a Jonin, he seemed to be just a showy character who was no match for him.

Moreover, judging from his appearance alone, this guy bears a slight resemblance to the Sarutobi brothers, Sarutobi Kiku and Sarutobi Rin.

Judging by the timeline, those two guys should be nearing the end of their long-term deployment to the northern border.

"Hey you, can't you at least know some manners?!"

"The Uchiha Fugaku of yesteryear wasn't as outrageous and unreasonable as you!"

"Since you took over that clan, how much trouble have you caused Konoha? Don't you have any sense of that?"

It seemed that the presence of the Third Hokage behind him gave him immense courage.

It seems that none of the accusations made just now have caused any dangerous consequences.

Therefore, his arrogance and his words became increasingly overbearing and sharp!

However, what he didn't realize was that it was precisely because of his momentary angry words that he broke the current deadlock.

[You bastard!]

Hiruzen Sarutobi cursed inwardly.

Such rules should only be known among ninjas. This bastard actually made them public in front of the parties involved. Does he think the current situation is not chaotic enough?

You haven't even said anything yet, so why are you criticizing me?

Looking at his indignant and gleeful clansmen, his own resentment grew stronger and stronger!

Driven by selfish desires and the sake of his two good-for-nothing sons, he completely disregards the overall situation and the potential consequences, spouting nonsense and venting his anger here. He is truly hopelessly foolish!

Along with this resentment, a deep sense of unwillingness also welled up in his heart.

Why is it that the Sarutobi clan, which has all the advantages of timing, location, and people, has developed for decades but is still in this state, without even a presentable facade?

However, the Uchiha clan, which was ostracized by them, has fallen from its pedestal. Despite having all its glory and resources confiscated, the Uchiha clan continues to thrive like weeds.

Uchiha Shisui, Uchiha Itachi, Uchiha Ara, Uchiha Sasuke, and those Uchiha juniors who dominated every grade!

When will Heaven finally stop favoring this race?

It should be noted that even the Senju clan, which once held sway over this powerful family, has almost vanished into the annals of history.

"you,"

Turning to the side, Huang barely managed to utter a single word, wanting to teach that guy from the Sarutobi clan a lesson.

This can also be seen as sending a stronger, more subtle signal to Orochimaru and the Fourth Rasa.

But just then, an unfamiliar warmth landed on his palm, which he hadn't fully withdrawn.

This tactile sensation somewhat slowed down the movements that were about to begin.

Turning my gaze, I saw that unfamiliar warmth coming from Naruto Uzumaki, who was sitting on the ground, looking at me with a bewildered expression.

It seems to be asking: Is this true?

Because if all of this is true,

【So,】

Thinking of this, Naruto suddenly felt a sense of relief.

Then he might understand why the other person hadn't gone back to that ramen stall all these years.

Ara temporarily put aside his 'punishment' of that guy and gently pulled Naruto up from the ground with a light touch.

Although the two of them were destined not to stand on the same side or the same front.

But if it's just about becoming ordinary friends, then it's still possible.

At least, considering that both [Kanko] and [Yoko] were summoned because of the other party.

I will help them get through their current difficult situation.

This can be considered a conclusion to the concept of equal exchange.

As for what their identities and circumstances will be when they meet again in the future, we'll see.

Simultaneously,

Naruto, pulled up by Ara, seemed to have come to understand his own true nature. Looking earnestly at the crimson eyes of the young man beside him, etched with the three black tomoe, he said:

I want to be your friend.

"It started a long, long time ago!"

"I've been to Ichiraku Ramen countless times over the years, hoping to see you here."

"But no, there are none left."

“I also know that the reason why Uncle Ichiraku always treats me to a bowl of hot ramen is because you once put down a large sum of money for the meal.”

"I thought you didn't want to see me anymore, which is why you haven't gone anywhere since."

"I'm also wondering if, as Mr. Shuimu said, you only invited me to eat ramen with you out of sympathy."

"But now it seems that this is not the case."

"happy,"

"I'm really happy."

"You are the first person who was willing to accept me, the first person who asked my name, and the first person who was willing to be my friend!"

When it comes to deep feelings,

Naruto Uzumaki uncontrollably wiped away the tears that were streaming from the corners of his eyes.

This situation made Hiruzen Sarutobi, who hadn't uttered a word since arriving, look quite unpleasant.

As expected, things started to take a turn for the worse.

The Mangekyou Sharingan, capable of controlling the Nine-Tails' calamity, is a terrifying combination that no one wants to face.

"but,"

"No, you can't."

"It is absolutely impossible to solve everything with force."

"I think if two people have a conflict, it would be better to sit down and communicate together."

"Using force to subdue others will cause pain."

"It is different in nature from being verbally abused or ostracized by others, but it is just as painful."

"And I am also waiting for the day when I can be understood by others."

"Now, I've waited for you."

"So, please stop adhering to your previous survival principles. I think there are other ways to resolve this than just violence. Let's think of other solutions together."

"Okay, is that alright?"

"shortage."

The little guy wiped his eyes open and looked at the boy in front of him with hopeful eyes.
