The smile on the gradually recovering face of Xiangri's mother was enough to prove that the other party did not have the slightest suspicion of Naruto because of the amazing changes that occurred in front of him. It made Naruto look so grinning and talking on the surface that there didn't seem to be any difference compared to his previous performances. But in his heart, while secretly breathing a sigh of relief, because he was too sensitive, accurate and direct, Naruto seemed to vaguely feel that it was an extremely correct choice to tell the person in front of him his true identity at this moment. Without Naruto knowing at all that he had just escaped the fate of becoming the "youngest" stepfather in the history of the Naruto world, he inexplicably gave birth to an inexplicable sense of happiness for the rest of his life.

However, if you think about it, the reason why Kari's mother, who was tortured in the Kusa Ninja Village, trusted Naruto so much. So much so that even if he found out that the young and promising "Bo Feng Mian Ma" who has been getting along with him all along, is just a hairy boy about the same size as his own daughter. It's not hard to guess if he's just wondering if he's having an absurd and funny dream, rather than suspecting Naruto's other intentions......

Not to mention for the time being, Naruto and his party actually rescued the mother and daughter, and along the way, they took care of the mother and daughter in every way......

First of all, when he traveled to Sand Hidden Village, with the healing properties of his own ancestral Uzumaki clan Chakra, Naruto was able to do his best to provide the best recovery plan for Kaori's mother's weak body. So much so that in this process, Kaori's mother was not only able to confirm it in a down-to-earth manner, but Naruto, who had never shown the slightest malice from beginning to end, really wanted to help her mother and daughter. In the process of continuous healing and recovery, with the echo perception effect between chakras with the same bloodline, Naruto confirmed his identity as a descendant of the Uzumaki clan. So naturally, Xianglian's mother, who had no relatives, must have been like a drowning person at the first time, and regarded the clansman who helped her mother and daughter as a life-saving straw from God.

Secondly, in this world where the strong are respected, Naruto's strength is enough to win the absolute trust and obedience of the mother and daughter...... After all, whether it is an understatement, the mother and daughter were rescued from the Grass Ninja Village, and they were even able to splash dirty water back on Yunyin Village when they were busy when they were fleeing and leaving. Or after arriving at the Sand Hidden Village, the mature and reliable appearance displayed by the gestures, as well as the respectful and awe-inspiring atmosphere of the guards of the Sand Hidden Village. All of them can make Xiangri's mother believe that a strong person of Naruto's level, if he didn't deliberately lend a hand, would never have come to Kushinobi Village thanklessly to rescue Xianglin's mother and daughter, who had never met. What's more, during Naruto's journey, the medical healing methods he showed were far better than those of Xiangri's mother, who was passively gnawed on. In such a comparison, Xiangri's mother couldn't think of any benefit in her humble mother and daughter that could be worth Naruto's great trouble to "fake and deceive" them.

In addition, the most important point is that in the midst of sluggishness and shock, he instinctively looked back and forth between Naruto and "Hakaze". Let Xiangri's mother further confirm that Naruto is from the action of "waking up the sleeping Xiangri" for fear of waking up the sleeping Xiangri, and always carefully hugging her, Naruto is sincerely doting on Xiangri, and from this, an extremely bold idea was born.

Although according to Naruto's "real" age, making Naruto the stepfather of Kaori is obviously a whimsical and absolutely non-existent possibility...... But after thinking about it, Naruto, who is now exposed to his "real" age, can be said to be at a level that is not too big or too small compared to Xianglin!

In other words, in the heart of Kaori's mother, although the idea of making Naruto become Kaori's stepfather was dispelled. But under the ensuing crankiness, it was Naruto's care and love for Kaori as Naruto's liking [uh...... In a sense, I really like it...... But that's at the father-daughter level, hey?! The performance of the incense. And then intentionally or unintentionally, without everyone noticing, Naruto gradually changed from the identity of a "stepfather" to the throne of "son-in-law". Even the gaze in his eyes was silent, slowly mixed with a bit of the meaning of the mother-in-law looking at her son-in-law.

After all, judging by the tip of the iceberg that Naruto is revealing at the moment - a powerful genius, with a mature and stable personality, and the backstage is even more noble because of the support of the Hokage of the dignified Konoha Ninja Village. The most important thing is that from the observation of the more than a week of time together, Naruto can be said to be spoiled to the point of being obedient to the point of gradually recovering the temperament of an ordinary girl, no matter how you look at it, it doesn't look like a bad boy who will bully his own precious daughter......

In other words, in any way, in the eyes of Xiangri's mother, Naruto can be described as a very beautiful golden beetle son-in-law who has nowhere to find a lantern! So that don't say anything about whether you are worthy or not, even if Naruto proposes it now, make a contract with Xiang Li. Under the shroud of the above many advantages, it is enough to confirm that Xiang Lian will have no worries about food and clothing for the rest of her life, and she will be quite happy and harmonious in front of a bright future. Adhering to the premise of all decisions, Xianglian's mother, who thinks about her baby daughter, most of them don't think about it, so she will agree to it!

In this way, quietly, Naruto has been regarded as a golden beetle. So much so that he secretly made up his mind to let Xiangren have more contact with Naruto in the future, so as to win over Naruto's mother. How could this "insignificant" change cause him to be wary of Naruto. And then the relationship between himself and Naruto creates a gap?

"Ah, by the way, ...... to speak"

I was still glad for the "understanding" of Kario's mother, but I didn't realize that I was Naruto who had just come out of the tiger's den and entered the wolf's den at this time. Naturally, he didn't notice the strange ambiguous gaze that Xianglian's mother projected on him every once in a while. Instead, he remembered something, and turned his body a little sideways, looking at the three generations of Hokage beside him, who was trying to hold back his smile because he noticed the change in Kari's mother's gaze. While feeling unclear about the strange appearance of the three generations of Hokage, he sorted out the logic of his words a little, and spoke again to report seriously.

"Grandpa, I came back from Shayin Village this time, in addition to bringing you a lot of souvenirs. From personal experience, I also gained some humble opinions. ”

"Except for the eldest lady of the Hyuga family, she has only been away from the village for more than a week, and she has been plagued again...... Hooked up with a little girl. I don't know if it's a choice of two in the future, or a left hug and a right hug...... But there's one thing, old man, I can be sure of - in terms of women's relationship, Naruto, as a son, is much stronger than you as a father, Mizumon...... Well, if it looks like this, in the future, the grandchildren of Watergate will be under the leadership of Naruto, and they will become a good future for Ding Ding to prosper? ”

From the "mother-in-law's gaze" launched by Karito's mother to Naruto, and the gentle doting appearance of Naruto's shadow clone carefully holding Kaori, the gossip soul of the three generations of Hokage, who once again misunderstood Naruto's motives, burned again. I couldn't help but snicker secretly, teasing Naruto in my heart. So much so that it wasn't until after Naruto finished saying that the three generations of Hokage reluctantly tried to suppress the smile in his heart before Naruto was not affected in the slightest and continued to report to him the serious appearance of the harvest of the journey. Then he coughed lightly, hiding the strange look on his face, raised his eyebrows slightly, and asked curiously.

"Ahem...... Oh? Humble opinion...... You little one, are you playing dumb riddles with grandpa again? If there's anything to say, just say it. Just let grandpa see how much knowledge your child has gained since he left the village for the first time. ”

"Hehe, then I'm not going to say it politely! Even if it's wrong, Grandpa shouldn't be angry with Naruto! ”

After seeing that although the person in front of him slowly suppressed his smile, he still tried to hold back his laughter, causing his whole body to tremble slightly. After a little thought, Naruto only thought that the third Hokage was satisfied and relieved because he was willing to call him grandpa directly, and he didn't think too much about it. And then after the milk and milk coquettishly screamed at the people, the words paused slightly, and then continued to talk in an orderly manner.

"When I arrived in Shayin Village this time, I not only saw how effective and reliable the customs clearance documents signed by my grandfather were. This confirms that grandpa, or rather, the prestige of our Konoha Village, even if it is a sand hidden village thousands of miles away, it is also well-known and cannot be easily offended. ”

"Hey, you kid has a flamboyant tongue, you know how to pat grandpa's ass...... Grandpa won't eat you easily. ”

After hearing Naruto's flattering and praising words intentionally or unintentionally, although the three generations of Hokage looked unmoved, the happy appearance of smiling and almost narrowing his eyes into a slit exposed the true thoughts of the three generations of Hokage.

"Hmph, I didn't make a sycophant, I'm telling the truth!"

"Haha, let's be honest, I see that you kid, you don't play drafts......"

While joking and teasing Naruto, out of his own understanding of Naruto's style, he knew that Naruto would flatter and praise himself for no reason, presumably because he still didn't say the second half of the sentence, so that the three generations of Hokage didn't say too much to Naruto. Then he reached out and gently rubbed Naruto's little head, and continued gently and kindly.

"Okay, okay, if you have anything to say, just say it, you don't have to bend your intestines so much with grandpa. Even if you are wrong, grandpa promises that he will never scold you for anything...... After all, you must have been exhausted all the way back to the village. Pick out the key points and say that the report is done early, and you should go back to rest early. ”

"Hehe, I really can't hide anything from my resourceful grandfather, I'm just waiting for my grandfather's words~"

After receiving the promise of the three generations of Hokage, Naruto secretly breathed a sigh of relief as if he had received a gold medal for avoiding death. And then under the intentional reminder of the three generations of Hokage, after looking at the faces of the people around him for a while, the tiredness that was more or less revealed, he no longer hesitated. The smile on the corner of his mouth gradually subsided, and he continued word by word.

"Actually, what I'm trying to say is...... After this trip to Shayin Village, I think that the relationship between Shayin Village and our Konoha Village is not as harmonious as it appears on the surface! ”

"Oh? Is it? ”

After hearing Naruto's speculation, the corners of the three generations of Hokage's mouth couldn't help but gradually rise a little, revealing a satisfied smile. Then he raised his eyebrows slightly, pretending to be serious and scaring and teasing Naruto.

"You've got to think about it, Naruto, it's not child's play...... If it is placed on other people, this is deliberately causing a conflict between the two ninja villages, and it will be treated as a spy who sow discord. ”

After hearing the serious words of the three generations of Hokage, who had no joy or sorrow, Naruto couldn't help but chuckle in his heart. Immediately raised his head, and after seeing the appearance of the three generations of Hokage always smiling, he confirmed that the old man in front of him was just scaring himself, and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

After all, although in the past, when he had a small fight and even proposed to eradicate Danzo, the three generations of Hokage had never had anything to do with him...... But that's because, after all, what Tuan Zang has done has violated the interests of the village. And fundamentally, it was a civil war between the two major forces of the village. So much so that when Naruto obviously chose to stand on the same side as the three generations of Hokage, he naturally would not give any warning or punishment to Naruto's "finger-pointing" transgression.

But the nature of the "sowing discord" words that Naruto had just confided contained was not a level of existence at all, just as the three generations of Hokage said...... If you are not careful, it is very likely that it will evolve into a new round of ninja village war, or even the fuse of the ninja war. So much so that Naruto, who has always been outspoken in front of the three generations of Hokage, has become a little timid.

Fortunately, the three generations of Hokage just casually joked, and directly brought the seriousness of this matter lightly. Naruto was greatly relaxed, but he also quietly began to wonder why the three generations of Hokage would do this.

The first reason is that the three generations of Hokage, who thinks he owes Naruto, really spoils Naruto too much. So much so that even after Naruto said such dangerous words that seemed to ordinary people, it was obvious that he was deliberately sowing discord, he still did not show the slightest serious and vigilant appearance.

And another reason...... It was the third generation of Hokage who already knew before Naruto that the Sand Hidden Village was a hypocrite on the surface and behind his back when he treated Konoha Village! So much so that even if Naruto suddenly made this guess, he didn't feel the slightest surprise and shock for it!

In other words, long before Naruto, the three generations of Hokage knew the true attitude of the Sand Hidden Village towards Konoha Village. Even the seemingly harmonious and harmonious trade and cooperation relationship is only the result of turning a blind eye when peace is not easy to come by, and the Sand Hidden Village has not substantially violated the interests of Konoha Village!

If it was the former, Naruto would have to revise the logic of his speech again in order to try as much as possible to convince the three Hokages to accept his views.

But if it's the latter...... Obviously, the next thing will undoubtedly be much easier and clearer.

"That's why at the beginning, I begged my grandfather in advance, even if he said something wrong, he was not allowed to scold me!"

Thinking of this, Naruto's eyes rolled a few times, and then he shrugged his shoulders with an innocent face, and winked at the three generations of Hokage, making a reasonable appearance. While deliberately testing the thoughts of the three generations of Hokage, he continued to speak pointedly.

"Besides, I didn't fabricate false information out of thin air, but I have real materials as the basis!"

"This naughty little guy asked me about it...... However, at this age, he already has such a quick reaction ability. Then, the moment when Naruto will be able to shoulder the burden of the Hokage may not be too far away...... At least, old man, I should still be able to see that day coming. ”

After seeing Naruto stunned for a moment, he immediately returned to his usual calm and composed. So much so that after this short moment, in the following words, he hid some small details that tested himself. couldn't help but make the smile of satisfaction in the eyes of the three generations of Hokage become more and more vigorous, while whispering in his heart, he was distracted and distracted. Without thinking, he replied without changing his face.

"Oh? Is it...... So, next, let grandpa listen to it, is there any difference between the real material you have and what grandpa knows......"

"Know...... Discrepancy...... Sure enough, being able to sit on the throne of the Hokage for so long, grandpa is definitely not some kind of fuel-efficient lamp......"

The gentle words that came from his ears contained some key words, under Naruto's repeated thoughts, and after a while, he came up with the answer he wanted. And then the smile in his eyes was even stronger, and the last remaining worries in his heart completely dissipated invisibly. And at the same time as he smiled back at the three generations of Hokage, he no longer concealed it, and told what he saw and heard in Shayin Village.

"No problem, I say this because ......"

At this time, as one of the parties involved, what Naruto didn't perceive was ......

From the perspective of a bystander, for example, in the eyes of Itachi and Shisui, although between Naruto and the three generations of Hokage, they were just reporting the situation and discussing the plan normally. But faintly, the more they talked, the more energetic the pair of grandfathers and grandsons always gave people an illusion of nothingness......

It seems that in the two people who are talking happily, the treacherous figures of two foxes, one big and one small, are slowly emerging......

Four generations of Kazekage Rasha: It's weird...... Why did I suddenly feel a chill down my spine......
