At this time, two days had passed since the meeting between Rizu and Ningji. Naruto and his party had already left the Sand Hidden Village and embarked on a journey back to Konoha.

However, compared to the original plan, before the departure, although Naruto had already set a time to leave the Sand Hidden Village, there was still an inevitable small accident - that is, Naruto spoiled the children too much, resulting in the departure time being delayed by one day compared to the original plan.

Before leaving, because of the retention and reluctance of the red panda who rushed to hear the news, Naruto did not harden his heart for a while to refuse, and stayed in Sand Hidden Village for one more day under the coquettish begging of the red panda. It wasn't until he found out that Naruto had suddenly changed his mind "inexplicably", and he was worried again, and the fourth generation of Kazekage, who had almost come to the door with a black face to say hello, couldn't hold back his confusion and sent Yashamaru, who had already been in contact with Naruto, to inquire about [urging] [urging] [urging], that Naruto appeased the red panda. And agreed with the red panda that after waiting for him to come to play in Konoha Village in the future, the group's trip to Shayin Village was completely over, and they finally embarked on the road back to the village.

However, this delay of the day is not completely wasted.

First of all, with this extra day, Naruto was able to secretly cast multiple shadow clones on his own, so as to increase the number of operators, so that he could more fully understand and figure out the whole picture of Sand Hidden Village. And in the process of wandering and observing, every traffic artery in the Sand Hidden Village can always find a teleportation mark of the Flying Thunder God that Naruto quietly left in the blind spot of the nearby perspective that is easy to be overlooked. Even when Naruto accepted my Airo's invitation and took the initiative to go to my Airo's house and play with me Airo all day, he didn't forget to leave a teleportation mark of the Flying Thunder God's technique in my Airo's home, which is the residence of the fourth generation of Kazekage Rasha.

Although doing this is undoubtedly a bit of a deception and taking advantage of the ingredients of a well-intentioned simple red panda, Naruto also did it just in case.

After all, the old Tailed Beast Seal of Iara, as if an additional safety lock had been added, was additionally imposed by Naruto with a four-elephant seal. And follow the example of his parents, and infuse the chakra into it, so that in addition to activating the effect of the seal, he can also make the seal communicate with his own heart. So much so that no matter how far apart they were, even if they were thousands of miles away, any thing that was a little strange in Shouzuru could be instantly detected by Naruto.

In other words, once Shouzuru broke through the first seal and then began to try to forcibly break through the barrier of the Four Elephant Seals, Naruto could use the Flying Thunder God's Technique Teleportation Imprint, which had been all over the Sand Hidden Village beforehand, as a medium to teleport directly into the Sand Hidden Village. And after arriving, with the help of the connection between the Four Elephants Seal and himself, he judged the general direction of the red panda, carried out a second teleportation and quickly approached, and gave the red panda the external help and spiritual comfort it needed in time.

Of course, theoretically speaking, if Naruto left a teleportation mark directly on the red panda's body, then Naruto, who had mastered the Flying Thunder God technique at this moment, could completely teleport directly to the red panda's side with unmistakable accuracy. It saves the trouble of repositioning, and it is even more trouble-free, and there is no need to make the troublesome action of leaving a teleportation mark on the entire Shayin Village.

However, although the idea is good, it must also be possible to implement it......

That's right, the difficulty of Naruto adding the Flying Thunder God Technique Teleportation Mark to others was as easy as a gesture. And after perfecting it with the help of his mother's sealing experience, he was able to quickly fade the imprint pattern into invisibility, so that judging by the naked eye alone, it was absolutely impossible to find the imprint of the Flying Thunder God's technique...... However, even so, if you are faced with a detailed and comprehensive examination, foreign bodies that are applied by external force will be easily detected. It was for this reason that Naruto, after thinking about the gains and losses, chose a more conservative plan of setting up waypoints all over the village, and gave up the lazy idea of placing a mark directly on my Airo.

After all, although Iara is not welcomed everywhere in the Sand Hidden Village, no matter what, he is the same tailed orc pillar power as Naruto, and one of the final combat power hole cards of a village. In addition, Luo Sha, my Airo's father, is an indifferent wind shadow who talks about the value of my Airo all day long, so that in the face of his own son, he can be used as a monster weapon.

In this case, if there is no one who regularly conducts a detailed examination of my Airo's physical condition, and then uses this as a basis to determine whether I can continue to serve as a human pillar...... Naruto would probably rather choose to believe that the possibility that Uncle Ichiraku's real surname is Otsuki is far higher than that.

In addition, this extra buffer time, another convenience brought to Naruto, is enough to be considered worth the cost - that is, the degree of recovery of Xiangri's mother's physical condition.

Although after leaving the Grass Ninja Village, Naruto regularly injected his own chakra into Xiangri's mother, and then relied on this chakra of the same ancestor as a guide to stimulate the rejuvenating body of Xiangri's mother. But in the end, Naruto only used the Uzumaki bloodline flowing in his body, which made Chakra inherently have a certain degree of healing ability. And under the deliberate manipulation, try to give full play to this characteristic as much as possible.

To put it simply, under the condition that he had never studied medical ninjutsu orthodoxy and relied on his own trial and exploration, although Naruto was able to perfectly exert the bloodline characteristics of the Uzumaki clan with the healing ability of the Tailed Beast Chakra of the Nine Lamas Chakra to a 120% supernormal level. To a certain extent, it can use itself as an external force to help others improve their physical fitness and state. But this kind of alternative approach that has been explored on its own is always in an immature and imperfect state of testing. So much so that if you put aside the special ability to reactivate the life force, and just talk about the healing and restoring effect of the body, Naruto today is obviously not as good as the orthodox and skilled medical ninja.

And this is also the reason why Naruto has spared no effort to heal for so many days, but there are still some hidden dangers in the body of Xiangri's mother, who is getting better day by day.

It's just that accepting Naruto's healing and recovery is not only to allow Kario's mother to replenish the life force that has been lost a lot as soon as possible. It is also because along the way, in order to avoid the pursuit and search of the grass ninja village, the emergency treatment plan will be taken because of the lack of access to the village and the store, and the failure to meet the more sophisticated medical ninjas. Now that he has arrived in the Sand Hidden Village, as one of the five major ninja villages, his ability in medical treatment must not be much worse. If there is a choice, it is natural to let Xianglian's mother receive better treatment.

Because of this, just after arriving in Sand Hidden Village, the day Naruto came into contact with Iro, he had already deliberately arranged for Kariu's mother to go to the hospital in Sand Hidden Village for treatment, plus the extra day of buffer time now. With two days of sufficient treatment time, the body of Xiangri's mother, who had already been recovered by Naruto's treatment, was obviously enough to recover to the best state without hidden dangers.

And as the saying goes, how much water a barrel can carry depends on the board it has the shortest......

The complete recovery of Xiangri's mother's body has the advantage that when Naruto and his party return to the village, they don't have to worry about whether Xiangri's mother's body will be able to eat at all like when they came, and deliberately slow down their march. In addition, when he left the Sand Hidden Village, Naruto had already exchanged memories with the shadow clones who stayed in Konoha Village, and through the report of the members of the Root Organization who were sent out in advance to inquire about the information, he learned that the Grass Ninja Village had formed a bond with the Cloud Hidden Village at this moment. When Naruto and his party returned to the village, they didn't have to worry about Xiangri's mother's body being unbearable, so they deliberately controlled and suppressed their own speed. Second, because the Grass Ninja Village was busy arguing with the Cloud Hidden Village, Naruto didn't have to worry about being approached by the Grass Ninja Village and getting into trouble. In addition, when he returned to the village, there were no other villages that Naruto deliberately wanted to go to. So much so that Naruto didn't have to give up the shortest route of travel and choose to take a detour as he did when he came.

Because of this, the large and small changes added up, so that the departure time of Naruto and his party was a whole day later than originally planned. However, after setting off, according to Naruto's teleportation imprint sensing with Konoha Village, he always determined the length of his group's distance from the village, and then used this as a basis to calculate the approximate travel speed of his group. But it was several times shorter than the week it took to rush from Konoha Village to Sand Hidden Village! So much so that as long as he can maintain the current high-speed driving state at all times, then, if nothing else, let alone a week, I am afraid that it only takes a whole day for Naruto and his party to return directly to Konoha Village from Sand Hidden Village!

[Note: This is based on the speed at which Kai returned to the village with Kakashi on his back in the TV anime.] Although in the anime, Kai's running speed is quite exaggerated. But according to Ning Ci, it didn't take long for them to return to the village and complain about Kai and Li, and even the sky didn't change much. With the ninja running with all his might, within a full day (24 hours), it should be enough to return to Konoha Village from Sand Hidden Village. 】

Of course, Nian Zai's mother is recovering from a serious illness, so it is not appropriate to exercise vigorously. And during the journey, because of the scarcity of the water stop and Itachi's own chakra reserves, Naruto had to stop from time to time to replenish the chakra for the two of them to maintain a high-speed travel state. The possibility of starting from Shayin Village in the morning and returning to Konoha Village in the afternoon is not to say that there is none. But there was nothing urgent on the way back to the village, and the handwritten customs clearance document of the three generations of Hokage in his hand was enough to allow Naruto and his party to enter the village even when the village curfew was closed, so Naruto did not deliberately ask everyone to speed up. So much so that with this, to be precise, it would probably be until the bright moon hung high before Naruto and the others would be able to return to the village.

Besides, if Naruto wanted to be more hassle-free and quick, he could get back to the village as soon as possible. In fact, through the teleportation of the Flying Thunder God's technique, Zhishui and the others can be directly teleported back to Konoha Village in batches, and the whole process is estimated to take less than a minute.

But first, Naruto can already do the ability to teleport with others after making contact with them. But it was only confined to the size of a village at most, and he had never tried to teleport so far. So that when he didn't have much certainty, he would naturally be directly given up by Naruto, who deliberately sought stability and had nothing to do.

Second, if he did this, even if Naruto had 100% certainty of success, he would undoubtedly reveal the secret of his possession of the Flying Thunder God technique to Shisui and the others, who did not know the truth yet. Therefore, compared with the long journey that only needs to be affected for one day and can effectively exercise one's physical fitness, it is obviously not worth the loss.

Because of this, in the face of these double concerns, Naruto naturally knew at a glance which way he should choose to return to the village.

So, in the end, it still didn't solve the problem? Then you're not busy again in vain? ”

While Naruto was traveling at high speed, he fell at the end of the line due to distraction, and in the midst of his thoughts, he recalled all the things before he set off. Itachi, who had been walking side by side with Naruto, had been looking left and right, consciously or unconsciously, confirming that their best friends were all concentrating on their journey, without looking back at this side. He no longer suppressed his curiosity and whispered to Naruto.

"Ahh......h That's not counting the number of times you asked me when you just told you in Shayin Village. ”

Hearing that the people around him couldn't help but be curious, and after opening his mouth again to ask in his ears, Naruto shrugged his shoulders and complained with tears and laughter, but he didn't hide anything from people's hypocrisy. Instead, after a little thought, he replied as briefly and directly as he could.

"There's no way, it's a blessing in misfortune to be able to maintain the status quo and prevent the relationship between the two of them from deteriorating further...... Moreover, although it failed, from the atmosphere at the beginning and the way Uncle Hizuki treated Ning Ci, in a sense, it should barely be regarded as a good start. ”

As early as when Naruto and his party were still in the Sand Hidden Village, because they were worried that something would go wrong with the shadow clone, Naruto took the initiative to dismiss a shadow clone from time to time after returning to the inn to get the progress of the meeting in Ichiraku Ramen in real time. And after the incident ended, he complained casually and told the Itachi who happened to come back completely. I plan to use the rich experience of the younger brother in front of me to discuss with each other and discuss a feasible settlement plan. Unexpectedly, Itachi, like Naruto, has been accustomed to taking care of Sasuke since he was a child, resulting in a situation where he never saw how difficult it was to take care of children. On the contrary, Itachi couldn't imagine that there would be such a person in the world who would not take care of children, which deeply aroused Itachi's curiosity, and then asked Naruto some details repeatedly every once in a while.

However, curiosity is curiosity, and Itachi is not just doing nothing. After all, Itachi's personal experience and rich parenting experience are not wasted after all. So much so that in that extra day's buffer time, supplemented by Itachi's suggestions from time to time, Naruto also had a rough outline of how to make the misunderstanding and hatred between Hizoku and Ninji gradually move towards a harmonious understanding. It's just that in view of the fact that Rizu and Ning Ci have just met, and Ning Ci stubbornly regarded it as a lie in the face of the truth that Rizu suddenly threw out, and was completely enraged. So at this time, Naruto was not in a hurry to put this plan into action and turn it into reality.

In addition, during the meeting between Hizoku and Ninji, there was one thing that made Naruto think about it for two days, and the result was still a little puzzled......

……

"Speaking of which, Itachi-san...... Here, is there a saying that 'tiger fathers have no dogs'? ”

"Tiger father without dogs? What is that? I've never heard of it...... What's wrong? Is there anything wrong with this statement? ”

"No, nothing...... Just to make sure......"

……

That's what "Naruto" and Uncle Ichiraku overheard, during their conversation - Tiger Father has no dog.

This sentence is familiar to Naruto. But it was precisely because of this that Naruto felt extremely frightened when he thought about it seriously afterwards and tried to sort out his thoughts and sum up his experience.

Because, this sentence is an idiom that has been widely spread in Naruto's previous life. But according to Itachi, in this Naruto world, there should be no such thing......

Uncle Ruoilaku is really like what he said, just a ramen shop owner who is used to seeing big people......

So, here's the problem......

As an indigenous inhabitant of the Naruto world, why did Uncle Ichiraku know that "Tiger Father has no dog", an idiom that was only widely spread in Naruto's previous life?
