"Ahem, it's getting late. Let's set off quickly.”
Kakashi pretended to cough dryly. His method was already considered clumsy. Even a fool could see that there was a problem, but Kakashi had no other way. Compared to making Naruto suspicious, letting Naruto know the truth was undoubtedly worse.
Sure enough, Sakura and Sasuke were puzzled. They did not understand why Kakashi was in such a hurry to leave, but it must have something to do with Naruto's background.
Sakura wanted to ask, but Naruto spoke first.
"Alright, alright, let's go. If we walk faster, we still have time for lunch.”
" But, Naruto, you…"
Sakura wanted to say something, but she hesitated. Naruto just waved his hand impatiently and said," Listen to Nagara's nonsense. Nagara only knows how to talk nonsense. My surname might just be a random name given to me by the third generation because they saw my red hair."”
The reason why Naruto said this was because he did not want to listen to Nagara anymore, nor did he want to put Kakashi in a difficult position. Although there were some differences in ideals with Kakashi, Naruto could also feel Kakashi's concern for him.
"Naruto, perhaps Nagara-san really knows something?”
However, Sakura still did not give up. She was really thinking for Naruto. She felt that although Naruto did not care about his background on the surface, he must care a lot in his heart. Sakura hoped that Naruto could meet his parents one day.
This time Naruto was in a difficult position. He also knew that Sakura was doing this for his own good. Fortunately, Sasuke helped him out of his dilemma.
"Alright, Sakura, I don't trust Nagara either, so let's not waste any more time.”
Sasuke naturally knew that there was a hidden story, but he was much more sensitive than Sakura since he grew up in a big family. Since Naruto did not want to know, he must have his own reasons.
"Hehe, I didn't expect my image in Naruto's mind to be so bad. It seems that I have to be more careful in the future.”Nagara laughed self-deprecatingly, but there was a hint of playfulness in his eyes as he looked at Naruto.
"Alright, alright, let's go quickly, there will be…no! See you again!"
Naruto took the lead and left. Kakashi and the others could only follow him, leaving only Nagara, Amagazu, and White.
"Naruto is also a person with a story.”
Bai Youyou sighed. She could never forget those eyes that were even lonelier than her. It seemed that Naruto had become like that for a reason.
"What a troublesome brat."
Still No Slash's voice was a little strange. He naturally noticed Kakashi's strange behavior and sneered in his heart. It seemed that even Mu Ye was not a piece of iron.
"Hehe, Naruto's story is more complicated than you think.”Nagara chuckled." What do you think? If you want to know, are you interested in accepting my long-term employment?”
Facing Nagara's invitation, a strange feeling flashed across Hidekazu and Shiro's hearts. As a traitor of the Hidden Fog Village, Hidekazu was not someone that ordinary people would dare to hire.
"Hmph, you're quite bold. It's fine if you hire us temporarily, but you actually dare to hire us long-term? Aren't you afraid of offending the Hidden Fog Village?"
No Beheading Again sneered. His tone seemed to be filled with disdain, but in reality, he was probing Changliang.
"Heh, I've always been bold.”
Nagara immediately understood what he meant by not slashing anymore, and was not happy to beat around the bush with him.
"Please allow me to introduce myself. My name is Morita Nagara. Are the two of you interested now?"
————————————————————
On the other side, Class Seven had returned to Muye before noon because they did not have Dazner, an ordinary person, to drag them down.
"Good! Everyone has completed the mission well this time. I'll give you a week off! Have a good rest!" Kakashi said happily. His class had actually completed an A-rank mission. This time, he would have some face in front of the other Jounin.
"However, which one of you will accompany me to Naruto's office to report on the mission?”
Normally, reporting missions required two ninjas to prevent anyone from lying or being unclear of certain situations. However, Kakashi was clearly not one of them. As a Jounin, other than his strength, his loyalty was also fully recognized. The reason why he said this was because he did not want to be burdened alone.
"I'm not going! I want to eat ramen!"
Naruto was the first to refuse. He hadn't gone to Yile Ramen for a long time, and he was very anxious.
"I'll go with Naruto!"
Sakura immediately took over, and Sasuke was even more ruthless. He did not even look at Kakashi and just walked to Naruto's side.
Kakashi looked at his disciple with a headache and said helplessly," Alright, alright. You guys go ahead.”
As soon as he finished speaking, Naruto and the other two disappeared without a trace. Kakashi smiled bitterly and used a Blink spell to rush towards the Naruto building.
In Naruto's office, Kakashi carefully reported the course of the mission, especially regarding Nagara's strange attitude.
After the third-generation successor heard this, he was silent. His brows were almost furrowed into a line. He smoked hard and only spoke after a long time.
"Kakashi, you don't have to worry about Nagara's matter. Tell me your opinion of Naruto.”
"Yes." Kakashi pondered for a moment." Naruto, he... he's a very good kid. He's just a little impulsive. Moreover, he knew a strange ninjutsu that was activated with blood.”
In fact, Kakashi wanted to say more than that. It was an exaggeration to say that Naruto's ninjutsu was strange. Even he, a Jounin, felt flustered when he saw it. Although he could also do it, it was very difficult to blow up a person as easily as Naruto.
Just as the third generation was about to speak, Tanzo and two advisors suddenly walked in from the side door.
"Nine-Tailed Human Pillar Strength is more than just impulsive. I think he doesn't listen to orders at all.”
They had also heard Kakashi's report. They were not distressed by Kado's money. After all, although Kado had a lot of assets, they were all from shady sources. It would be very troublesome to take them.
The third-generation successor snorted coldly." Hmph, if you want to find an excuse, you should find a better one. Maybe Naruto was just nervous and couldn't stop. After all, Kado had sent so many people to surround and kill him.”
This was completely the third-generation successor trying to smooth things over. No one had seen the exact situation, and Kakashi couldn't possibly explain it in detail, so the third-generation successor could naturally spout nonsense.
"But…"
Tanzo was about to retort when the third-generation successor impatiently waved his hand to interrupt him.
"Alright, Naruto just killed an evil merchant. Stop fooling around.”The third-generation successor sounded a little irritated." Compared to this, it seems like the royal family is about to make a move.”
For a moment, Tanzang and the two advisors were deep in thought. Indeed, as the third generation had said, the royal family had been getting more and more restless recently. Kakashi narrowed his eyes. It was only now that he finally confirmed Nagara's identity.
The relationship between Muye and the Fire Country's royal family had always been delicate. Muye had power, and the royal family had prestige. Both wanted to suppress the other, but no one dared to make the first move because the Fire Country was not the only country in this world.
Men Yan was the first to break the silence.”
Everyone present knew about this, but no one said anything. They could not find a reason not to let the royal family get close to Naruto. If they used force, the royal family would find an excuse to deal with them.
"Sun Zhan, give me the Nine-Tailed Human Pillar Strength. This is the only way to ensure that he doesn't betray Mu Ye.”Tuan Zang said.
The third-generation successor did not object. He only asked," Are you confident enough?”
Tanzo was speechless for a moment. Naruto's strength was still unknown, and his methods and personality were ruthless enough. If he failed, he would force Naruto to the opposite side.
