Naruto: I, Naruto, started with the Rinnegan

"Have you forgotten? When you destroyed the Grass Country, the role you played was called the Dragon King. Someone wrote down that name, and it has been passed down to this day."

To be honest, Naruto had actually forgotten.

After all, in his view, destroying the Grass Country was a minor matter, and it was normal to forget about it after three years.

Now, thanks to Fu Hua's reminder, Naruto remembered and couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed.

"Ahem... Sorry, it was my fault, but what's with the name? I don't want to be burdened with a name for no reason."

This is the main reason why Naruto is angry.

He was free of debt, living a carefree life, when suddenly a nation was placed on his shoulders—it's as if they have a grudge against him.

However, Xianglin and Longshe thought this was ungrateful.

The Daimyo is one of the most prestigious people in the ninja world. Countless people in the ninja world want to be the Daimyo. You think you're doing me a disservice by giving me the position?!

Fu Hua suggested, "You'll know once you exchange punches with Ying."

By exchanging blows, one can use chakra to connect the spirits of others, communicate honestly, and avoid misunderstandings caused by poor communication.

This was the purpose of the Sage of Six Paths in establishing the Ninja Clan.

To some extent, in this ninja world where chakra exists, mutual understanding between people is achievable.

But this is the ideal situation.

The reality is... nobody is interested in understanding others; everyone just wants to kill someone or be killed by someone.

However, Naruto and Raikage had a special relationship, so naturally, their fists collided.

Naruto: [I don't mean to blame you. I just want to be a carefree person who does whatever I want, and I don't want to take on responsibilities. A country... is too heavy!]

Lei Movie: [I want to share everything with you. Inazuma is mine, but also yours. His name... should have always been yours.]

…………

in the afternoon.

Kakashi waited anxiously outside Tazna's house, and finally Naruto and his group arrived.

The tension in my heart eased.

"Naruto, I thought you weren't coming back..."

Kakashi said, half-jokingly and half-probingly.

"I know what you're worried about, Kakashi-sensei."

Naruto took a bite of the three-colored dumpling, chewed and swallowed, before saying, "Actually, you can rest assured, I won't run away during missions. After all, we're teacher and student, I wouldn't do something so unfair to you."

Kakashi's expression was complicated. This child values ​​relationships, but... why does he have to leave Konoha?

He sighed deeply, then clasped his hands together and pleaded, "Could you stay... and give Konoha a chance to atone for its sins?"

Naruto was taken aback for a moment, then smiled and asked, "You've become Hokage?"

"……No."

What right do you have to say? Can you represent Konoha in making decisions?

Even if you were to become Hokage, how much real work could you accomplish under the control of a bunch of old guys?

Naruto waved his hand, interrupting Kakashi's continued persuasion, "Let's not talk about unhappy things. Come on, have some meatballs."

As he spoke, Naruto stuffed a string of three-colored dumplings into Kakashi's mouth.

Kakashi ate one and found the taste somewhat familiar. His gaze then fell on the girls behind Naruto.

They were all eating some snacks that Kakashi recognized quite well.

Three-color meatballs, grilled fish, sweet chestnut cakes, and takoyaki.

"You've returned to Konoha?!"

Naruto nodded: "Yeah, the Land of Waves is too poor, there's not much good food there, so I'll take them back to Konoha to go shopping."

Why can you be so nonchalant? Bringing outsiders in and out of Konoha so casually is dangerous; what if they are enemies...?

Kakashi was exhausted. "Has no one in the village noticed?"

"No, we used a transformation spell."

"Even if it's a transformation technique, it shouldn't have gone unnoticed..."

"But no one noticed, and the reason... is probably because the Uchiha clan is gone."

Kakashi was speechless.

.........

Not far from Tazuna's house, in an open area, Zabuza was fighting Sasuke. He wielded his broken Executioner's Blade and unleashed a ferocious and unrestrained attack on Sasuke.

Sasuke, who had awakened his three-tomoe Sharingan, used a kunai to defend himself, clang clang clang...!

Sasuke's arm was tingling and numb from the shock, and his body was forced to retreat... At that moment, a whooshing sound came rapidly, and a sharp Executioner's Blade slashed down towards Sasuke's face.

Bang!

Dust billowed, and gullies appeared in the ground. Sasuke rolled to dodge, his hands forming hand seals, leaving only afterimages. He then opened his mouth and spat out a huge fireball.

boom!

A flying water dragon extinguished the fireball and then bombarded Sasuke with unstoppable momentum.

The next second, Sasuke turned into a piece of wood. It turned out to be a substitution jutsu. The real Sasuke was meeting Zabuza's gaze.

—Sharingan Hypnosis!

Zabuza was momentarily dazed, and Sasuke seized the opportunity, charging forward with lightning speed, his arm crackling and piercing Zabuza through in one go.

"Zabuza-sama!!!"

Seeing this, Haku, who was leisurely sparring with Sakura nearby, became extremely anxious and accidentally knocked Sakura away.

"To put it bluntly..."

Zabuza held his large sword horizontally to Sasuke's neck, who was panting heavily. The pierced Zabuza's neck had turned into a puddle of water on the ground.

Zabuza turned to look at Haku, slightly annoyed, and said, "You underestimate me too much. Did you really think I would lose to this brat...?"

Seeing that Zabuza was safe and sound, Haku was relieved. Right, did I forget something?

Shiro scratched his head, unable to recall the answer, and could only put it aside for the time being, instead apologizing to Zabuza.

"I'm sorry, Lord Zabuza, I was just... just too worried about you..."

Zabuza was a little taken aback by this direct approach, turning his head away. "I'll let it slide this time. From now on, just know... trust me, no matter what enemy I face, I will never fail..."

He paused, then added, "Of course, except for a very few exceptional monsters."

Like the Five Kage, like Naruto, and like...

Zabuza looked at Sasuke. He was only able to defeat Sasuke this time because of Sasuke's rich combat experience. If he had waited another year or two...

The outcome is still uncertain.

Sheathing his Executioner's Blade, Zabuza asked, "Kid, are all the new recruits in Konoha as strong as you?"

If so, Zabuza felt he needed to reconsider Mei Terumi's invitation...

The gap between the two ninja villages is too great. There's no point in striving for anything; why not just give up and admit defeat?

Sasuke scoffed, "Am I strong? Heh... How am I strong? I still lost to you, didn't I?"

"You wretched brat!"

Zabuza's forehead veins bulged uncontrollably.

"Are you mocking me? Is it shameful for you to lose to me? I am Zabuza the Demon! I am a big shot in the ninja world! You are just a kid who just graduated from the ninja academy, isn't it normal for you to lose to me... What, you really want to defeat me?"

"What about Naruto...?"

"Jinchūriki are an exception; normal people shouldn't compare themselves to them."
