Konoha: The female ninja's life collapsed after the diary was exposed.

What a nostalgic name.

"After Kakashi defeated Zabuza, he handed him over to Mei Terumi."

Jue paused for a moment after saying this.

"As for why Mei Terumi didn't kill Zabuza, I have no idea."

"Based on my guess, Mei Terumi must have noticed something was wrong a long time ago, so she has been plotting in secret."

“When she fought Yagura yesterday, Mei Terumi’s strength had completely reached the Kage level.”

Upon hearing Zetsu's words, Obito Uchiha nodded.

It seems that

This incident was completely unexpected.

"Oh, right, there's one more thing I need to tell you."

"what's up?"

Obito Uchiha looked at Zetsu and asked.

"Haku (Konan's codename in Akatsuki) seems to have left alone a few days ago, and judging from the direction, she should be heading to Konoha."

Upon hearing Zetsu's words, Obito Uchiha fell silent for a moment.

"Don't worry about her."

"The Akatsuki's goal is to collect the Tailed Beasts, and she may be trying to gather information about the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki in advance."

Obito Uchiha said calmly.

So what if we go to Konoha? What's the big deal?

Surely they couldn't have discovered his identity and then started investigating, could they?

Ha ha!

"Let's go."

"It's about time I went to the meeting."

Standing up and donning the Akatsuki's outer garment, Obito Uchiha activated his Mangekyou Sharingan, and his body slowly vanished from the spot.

Chapter 42 You're explaining the Will of Fire to Nine-Tails?

"It's still most comfortable at home."

Naruto Uzumaki lay on the bed and stretched comfortably.

This time,

He was so bored after being away from home for almost a month.

But the gains are also huge.

He just checked his account balance, and the deposits there are almost 100 million taels.

This time,

He will never have to worry about money again.

at this time,

A masked ANBU ninja appeared in his room.

"The Anbu sister?"

Looking at that signature purple hair, Naruto Uzumaki's face showed a look of surprise.

Evening Glory, my wife!

"Humph!"

"It's a wonder you still remember me."

Upon hearing Naruto's words, Yugao Uzuki couldn't help but let out a soft snort.

This time, when Naruto went out on a mission, she followed behind him, secretly protecting his safety.

But Naruto didn't mention her once in his diary.

She couldn't believe that someone with such keen senses wouldn't have noticed her following behind.

He calls someone "Xiyan's wife" when he peeks at them taking a shower, but he completely forgets about it at other times.

How heartless!

"Um... Sister, you smell so good, of course I remember."

Naruto Uzumaki was somewhat stunned upon hearing Yugao Uzuki's words.

strange,

Judging from Xiyan's wife's tone,

Why do I seem a little jealous?

"Stop explaining."

"The Hokage wants you to go to his office; he has something to ask you."

Maoyue Xiyan said indifferently.

"Okay, I know."

Uzumaki Naruto nodded.

He had anticipated this.

It would be a miracle if Hiruzen Sarutobi didn't contact him after reading the mission log.

"Oh, right, Anbu sister, I brought you a gift."

Seeing that Uzuki Yugao was about to leave, Uzumaki Naruto took out an exquisitely packaged gift box from the room.

"Is this for me?"

Uzuki Yugao asked, somewhat incredulously.

"Of course."

"I haven't properly thanked you for taking me to Konoha Hospital last time."

Naruto Uzumaki said with a smile.

He bought a lot of gifts on this trip.

It's a good opportunity to take it out and strengthen my relationship with Uzuki Yugao.

after all,

This is my future wife.

"You have some conscience."

Received a gift,

Uzuki Yugao's tone was noticeably better.

"Don't call me 'Anbu Sister' anymore, I have a name."

"Mao Yue Xiyan."

Watching Yugao Uzuki's departing figure, Naruto Uzumaki was somewhat confused.

do not know why,

He always felt that what Uzuki Yugao said was a bit strange.

In the original work,

Is this the personality of Uzuki Yugao?

. . .

Hokage Building.

Hokage's office.

Seeing Naruto Uzumaki walk in, Hiruzen Sarutobi placed the scroll he was holding on the table.

"Naruto, you're here?"

"Hokage-sama."

Hiruzen Sarutobi looked Naruto up and down, a concerned smile appearing on his face.

"Naruto, I heard that you encountered a bit of an accident during your mission this time."

"You're not hurt, are you?"

Upon hearing Hiruzen Sarutobi's words, Naruto Uzumaki shook his head.

"of course not."

"Kakashi-sensei is an elite Jonin; he can solve any problem."

Upon hearing Naruto's words, Hiruzen Sarutobi calmly picked up his teacup and took a sip of tea.

"But... I heard that it was you who defeated Momochi Zabuza, an S-rank rogue ninja from Kirigakure, when your team was on the verge of defeat."

"Is there such a thing?"

Hiruzen Sarutobi asked, feigning curiosity.

"Of course."

"You don't know, but because of this incident, the newly built bridge in the Land of Waves was named after me."

Naruto Uzumaki said with a proud expression.

"is it?"

"Naruto is really amazing."

"Now you're really famous, even Sasuke's limelight has been overshadowed by you."

Hiruzen Sarutobi smiled, feigning surprise.

"Keep a low profile, keep a low profile."

"Just publicize this matter in the village ten or eight times, but don't be too high-profile, I don't like it."

"..."

Upon hearing Naruto Uzumaki's words, Hiruzen Sarutobi's lips twitched.

Good guy,

If this is what you call being low-key, then there's no one arrogant in the entire ninja world.

"Ahem... Let's discuss this matter again."

"Naruto, can you tell me how you possess such great power?"

Hiruzen Sarutobi asked casually.

"Lord Third Hokage, it was actually Kurama who was able to defeat Zabuza."

Naruto scratched his head, giving an embarrassed look.

Seeing him like this, Uzuki Yugao couldn't help but roll her eyes.

That was such a convincing performance!

[That old man finally asked what he wanted to ask.]

Sigh... It's so tiring to act along with him.

[I came here specifically to ask about my relationship with Kurama, but I had to go through all this trouble.]

[This is so annoying!]

If I didn't want to be a rogue ninja, I would have beaten you to death long ago.

[And he's pretending to care about me? Pah!]
