Naruto

In the study of the daily office of Daming, the Kingdom of Fire, a wisp of almost inauspicious sandalwood slowly floated out of the incense burner at the corner of the house, adding a hazy meaning to the whole room. Daming Prince Yukio Washichi On the small stool next to the main seat, his eyes were lowered, and he listened carefully to his father's teachings.

"This is your first time on behalf of the Kingdom of Fire, and it is also your first time dealing with the elite ninjas of Konoha Village. This time you are visiting, you must maintain the relationship between all parties, especially with the new generation of Konoha leaders. , you cannot be too humble and fall into the state of the Fire Kingdom. Can you grasp the degree of this?"

"Please rest assured, my father."

As soon as Shixiu finished speaking, a dull knock on the door suddenly rang in the ears of both of them, accompanied by a slightly tender voice:

"I am Naruto Konoha Hiroshimura Kin-Nin Uzumaki; at the summoning of His Highness Daming, I led my troops to escort the prince."

Daming and Ishisui looked at each other, stood up from their seats with a "swish" and said happily: "Please come in quickly!"

Under the gaze of Daming and the prince, the blond boy with cat whiskers pushed open the half-covered ebony door and led two subordinates to Daming's imperial table with his right fist, knocked his chest towards Daming and looked at Daming and He The prince bowed deeply:

"I have met the prince, the prince."

"I have met His Highness Daming, His Highness the Prince."

The two of them turned sideways at the same time, avoiding Naruto's gift.

"Koye Village, Short Book Street, Fog Hidden Village and Sand Hidden Village, the Savior of Destiny in the Thousand Years of Prophecy, can freeze the earth and shatter the stars in every move. We are just ordinary people, how dare you, the land god, be you What about a bow?"

Hearing the endless praises from Daimi's mouth, Naruto lowered his head, clasped his fists with his hands, and replied calmly:

"All this is my duty as a Konoha Ninja. You should not be praised by His Highness Daming so much. If you have any requests from His Highness and the Crown Prince, please give me the order."

Daming sat back on his throne, and a kind smile appeared on his face: "Well, you ninjas have never liked these vain gifts, so let's just treat it as a gathering of friends and chat casually."

Naruto breathed a little relieved, no longer felt the cautious feeling that just now in his every move, and there was less respect and a little calmness between his eyebrows: "Yes. Thank you, Lord Daming."

Daimai nodded slightly and said to Naruto with a smile: "Your two subordinates, since you can stand shoulder to shoulder with you

I believe that all fight must have extraordinary strength, right?"

"Yes, they are all very reliable companions. This is the Nine-tailed Nine Lama; he had always shared the same body with me until recently, and had separated and experienced human life alone. This is Kuraki Hiroe, who is good at it. Hidden, raid, close combat, is a diligent and down-to-earth ninja who can easily withstand the joint attacks of several ordinary ninjas in battle."

Kyuuba and Uewe both felt cold about politics, so they just nodded slightly politely and did not speak up.

"Nine Tails?"

Hearing this household name, the prince seemed to remember the horror stories circulating in the market, and his face turned pale. However, Daming of the Kingdom of Fire just looked at the prince calmly, and his smile continued to diminish: "It's true. One of the elites in a million. On this trip to the country of Thunder, if you can accompany me in the city, I, a father, can feel at ease."

"We will do our best to protect the life and safety of His Highness the Prince." Naruto solemnly promised.

Daming smiled and waved his hand, picked up the newly brewed Zhilan tea on the desk: "It's my incompetent son who wants to learn more from you. City break, you can take a few distinguished guests to settle in the palace first.

Come down and set off early tomorrow morning.”

The prince felt the unrefutable meaning in Daming's words, so he had to bite the bullet and answer:

"yes."

Half an hour later, Naruto, Kyuyoshi, and Bingwei came to the Oyu Hall under the leadership of the prince, and accompanied the prince to enjoy the imperial open-air hot spring that was never open to the public.

"I'm sorry, Bingweijun, I shouldn't have had such a fierce reaction just now..." The prince looked at the dark boy's shoulders, neck, arms, thighs, calves, chest, and countless scars on his back in front of him.

, whispered.

"Haha, it doesn't matter, City Shuai! You don't have to take it to heart." The boy grinned at the prince, then turned over and sneaked into the bottom of the pond, playing and chasing the red fish specially raised in the hot springs.

The prince stared at the boy's back as he walked away, and said nothing for a long time until a gentle voice suddenly rang in his ear:

"He just turned fourteen in April this year. Although he has performed many high-level tasks, he can only be considered a half-year-old child. If there is any negligence, I hope the prince will forgive him.

”

The prince turned his head and saw the gold drifting with the flow before on the pool.

The boy, who had swam to him at some point, had a polite but close smile on his wet face.

"Does the children in Konoha Village always ripen like this?" the prince was silent for a while and asked in a low voice.

"When my teacher Haki Kakashi was twelve years old, the reserve troops of all the major ninja villages were almost exhausted by the war machines of the Third Ninja War, and the age limit of the ninjas to be involved was once relaxed to eight years old.

Compared with them, our generation is already quite late."

Naruto's tone has always been very calm, as if he was just presenting a simple historical fact. But it was such bloody historical fact that the prince of Fire, who was only 23 years old, could not help but feel cold.

Naruto noticed the prince's sluggish expression, shook his head, and chuckled: "Forget it, it's not good for me. We shouldn't talk about these heavy topics when everyone relaxes."

"It's only you, the boring guy, will worry about the country and the people when you take a hot spring bath?"

Shi Xiu Xunsheng looked at him and saw a tall and tall orange-haired fox with red eyes and nine tails soaked in water, with only his nose, eyes and ears exposed above the water surface. The fox didn't care at all about the prince's shocked gaze and swam swaggeringly

Entering Naruto's arms, he narrowed his eyes and enjoyed the latter's extremely skilled shining service.

Shi Xiu calmed down and looked at the intimate appearance of a person and a fox, and a wry smile appeared on his face: "...Is this the true body of Senior Jiutail?"

"The human palace cannot accommodate my true body." Jiu Tai put his front paws and head on Naruto's arm, and leisurely swung his tail, "But this hot spring has always been there. Three thousand years ago

I took a bath here before your ancestors had established settlements in this area."

"..." Ichikyu's lips squirmed for a moment, but in the end he chose to give up asking about the age of Kyuuba.

"By the way, Your Highness, I'll ask you a little bit, how big is the envoys that will be with you this time?" Naruto suddenly asked.

"Just call me Shixiu, Naruto," Shixiu rubbed the water marks on his face randomly and replied seriously, "There are only four of us in the envoy, but this time we plan to take a boat to Thunderbolt this time

There are some crew members who will travel with us.”

The light car simply passed by, abandoned the land and walked by sea. Did you hear any wind?

Naruto and Kyuuba looked at each other and nodded thoughtfully.
