Chapter 373: "Warm" Hospitality from the Host [Part I]

"The culprit...... You mean, that bastard who killed your parents has reappeared in the village again!? ”

Slightly stunned, Fugaku quickly realized who Naruto was talking about as an intruder. Immediately, because he almost exclaimed, attracting the attention of Mai Qin and others not far away, he hurriedly covered his mouth with his hand. And then under the cover of his palm, he hurriedly asked vaguely under the instinct of instinct.

"This ...... How is this possible...... Naruto, could you be mistaken? ”

It's not that Tomiyaki suspected that Naruto would lie to him at such a critical juncture that would not allow for jokes. It's because, when he heard the news suddenly, especially from Naruto's mouth, no matter how hard Fugaku tried to restrain it, he couldn't suppress the unreality that came from instinct and surfaced in the depths of his heart.

After all, it is known that at the time of the Mizumon couple's death, Naruto was just a newborn born not long after he was born. So much so that in Fugaku's opinion, even if Naruto has used his actual actions for more than a year, he has shown an excellent talent that can be called a demon level...... But in the matter of identifying the enemy who harmed his parents, according to common sense, Naruto, who should have no memory of the incident back then, should have no impression or evidence in identifying the real culprit behind the scenes. And then Fugaku subconsciously, he inevitably worried-could Naruto be nervous, or some kind of misunderstanding, and accidentally mistook the identity of the infiltrator?

"I can't be wrong about this kind of thing, Uncle Fuyue!"

Of course, for the undisguised look of doubt and concern on Fuyue's face, Naruto, who was already good at observing words and expressions, could naturally easily see through it at a glance. After thinking about it for a while, he realized the reason for Fuyue's questioning from his childish figure. While blocking through the clothes, he patted his little belly and replied categorically.

"That's right, although I really don't have any impression of that guy, let alone the possibility of identifying him. But Uncle Fuyue, you probably forgot...... In my body, there is a being who has met him and can help me identify him. ”

Obviously, except for Uchiha Itachi, who was regarded by Naruto as an insurance means to restrain himself, and let the other party read his memories and learned the existence of all the truth. Not to mention for the time being, until all the events are settled, Naruto will never easily reveal his status as a crossing party to others...... Even if Naruto honestly told Fugaku that the reason why he was able to recognize it was because he had "knew" Obito long before he came to this world? I'm afraid that in the first place, this truth, which is far beyond the scope of ordinary people's acceptance, will be regarded by Fugaku in front of him as a lame lie that Naruto hurriedly made up because he didn't want to tell him the truth, right?

It is precisely for this reason that, rather than choosing to tell the truth, this kind of thankless path will only cause confusion and suspicion among the people in front of you. Naruto, who was in a hurry, took a different path and moved out the Nine Lamas who had been sealed in his body since he was a child, acting as a shield.

Of course, because in this incident, it was indeed the Nine Lamas, who had close contact with Obito, who took the lead in clearly identifying the identity of the person and sending a warning reminder to Naruto. So Naruto's words, in a sense, can be regarded as not the slightest element of deception mixed with them. So much so that Naruto responded categorically and decisively, as if he was not afraid of shadows, which made the words blurted out seem particularly reasonable. Coupled with Naruto's serious face that didn't seem to be joking, it was Naruto's response words that once again increased a bit of credibility.

"In your body...... You mean, Nine-Tails?! ”

In the more than a year of getting along, in the Nine-Tails Rebellion that year, Naruto, who survived by luck, is the truth about the current Nine-Tails Pillar Force, which is nothing new for Fugaku. So much so that under Naruto's obviously prompted belly slapping action, the doubts about why Naruto was able to identify the identity of the intruder were naturally solved. Then he frowned and relaxed slightly, but his curiosity was undiminished, and he subconsciously added casually and asked.

"Indeed, if it was in that incident back then, the Nine-Tails, who had contact with the other party, would indeed be able to accurately identify the identity of the other party...... But, Naruto, I've heard your mother say before that the Nine-Tails treat humans with a lot of hatred and contempt. How can you choose to take the initiative to help you at this juncture? ”

That's right, the fact that Naruto is the current Nine-Tails Pillar Force is indeed no secret to Fugaku......

But at the end of the day, in order to ensure your personal safety as much as possible, and to behave in a low-key manner. From beginning to end, Naruto didn't tell Fuyue and the others that over the years, not only had he successfully reconciled with the Tsundere Nine Lamas in his body. In the case of getting along with the Nine Lamas on an equal footing and regarding each other as partners in life and death, he has obtained the wholehearted cooperation and assistance of the Nine Lamas, as well as the authority to mobilize all the forces of the Nine Lamas, anytime and anywhere!

In this way, it is quite inconceivable that Fu Yue, who still retains the impression of the Nine Lamas, who still retains the old brutal and ferocious side, will take the initiative to help human beings. And under the care and care of Naruto as his own, he was inevitably worried about whether this would be some kind of trap deliberately set by the Nine Lamas trying to seize Naruto's body while pretending to cooperate!

"Ah——!h Hate and contempt or something, and don't look at who caused it?! If it weren't for you greedy humans who took the initiative to provoke and covet the power of our tailed beasts...... I was supposed to live my little life comfortably in the mountains and forests! How can I have spare time to take care of you ants! ”

Of course, if Fu Yue has a finger, there is a deep sense of worry hidden. Jean Nine Lamas, who is extremely sensitive in terms of perception of all kinds of negative emotions of human beings, is the grievance of being treated as a donkey's liver and lungs for his kindness, and while constantly scratching in Naruto's body, he roared and roared indignantly.

"Then again...... Inexplicably, he was imprisoned for a long time and deprived of his freedom...... No matter who it is, it won't look good at you, will it?! ”

Well, if it weren't for the only remaining sanity of the Nine Lamas, who reminded him at all times, arguing with the "ant" in front of him would not only lose his identity and face as the head of the Nine Tailed Beasts, but also for Naruto, who was his partner, there would be no benefit at all...... I'm afraid that at the moment when Fugaku's words fell, the Nine Lamas would directly snatch control of Naruto's body and lecture Fuyue well.

"Well, calm down, Nine Lamas. Uncle Fuyue, they don't know the grievances of your tailed beasts, so there's no way to think so...... What's more, it's urgent to think about it now, how to deal with that 'Uchiha Madara'......"

Crying and laughing in the bottom of his heart, he secretly coaxed and persuaded him to appease the aggrieved nine lamas. Naruto, who pretended to frown and ponder, pretended to be suddenly enlightened, and patted his palms together while responding with a thoughtful attitude.

"Hmm, why are you helping me...... Yes! I remember! He seems to have told me that although he also looks at me unpleasantly, but in comparison, he and I can be regarded as living and dying together, and he doesn't want the culprit's conspiracy to go on smoothly! ”

"Huh? I see...... That's right, it's better than being stripped away by that guy and forcibly controlling consciousness. Naruto, who is still a child, is obviously an easier target to take......"

After hearing Naruto's well-founded response, Fugaku was worried about it, and it slowed down a little bit. Then he muttered to himself, while taking advantage of the attention of Mikoto and the others, all of them were focused on the preparation of the family banquet dishes, and in the state of hooking shoulders and backs, the movements naturally took Naruto, and slowly moved closer in the direction of the gate. He shook his head, removing all distractions and worries from his mind. Then his eyes narrowed slightly, and he continued word by word.

"Now that we've been able to spot that guy's infiltration, then, Naruto...... Can you track down his whereabouts and determine where he is now? ”

"Do you know where you are...... Hmph, of course! ”

Between the words, after sensing Fuyue's deliberate move. Naruto, who was already in a hurry to leave and go to solve the early arrival of Obito, which was far beyond the scope of his own plan, was naturally happy to take the initiative to cooperate quietly. And then under the cover of Fuyue's generous back, as if he was joking with Fuyue, he patted his small chest lightly and confidently.

"It will take a little more time, but as long as he is still in the village and does not leave? That's just a piece of cake for me! ”

Of course, that's what the saying goes...... But in Naruto's opinion, there is one thing that needs to be explained to Fugaku in advance in order to get a dose of vaccination.

That's the identity of the culprit - Uchiha Obito with the name of "Uchiha Madara", and it is indeed a pure-blooded Uchiha clan.

In other words, in a sense...... Just as the top of the Konoha Ninja Village is suspicious and taboo. The person who caused the Nine-Tails Rebellion is indeed inseparable from the Uchiha clan! What's more, the extremely bad impact and losses caused by the Nine-Tails Rebellion incident are enough to make this truth a huge scandal that disgraces the Uchiha clan!

Because of this, just like the high-level Konoha has been unwilling to admit for several years, the infamy of "cowards" that has made the Uchiha clan bear for so long is all because of the mandatory orders imposed on the Uchiha clan by the high-level in that incident. Naruto was inevitably worried......

After learning the truth of the matter. As the patriarch of the Uchiha clan, who has been eager and looking forward to the power for several years, will Fugaku accept the existence of this truth? Or will Fuyue still provide assistance to himself without any guilt as he does now?

After all, if the culprit who caused the Nine-Tails Rebellion back then was indeed the truth from the Uchiha clan, which leaked and spread in the Konoha Ninja Village......

Leaving aside the question of whether the ensuing negative effects would jeopardize the implementation of the proposal to return to the old territories......

Just according to the Konoha Ninja Village, those idiots who are afraid that things will not make a big deal are pointing behind their backs and chewing the root of their tongues, as if they have seen a needle, constantly looking for opportunities to fan the flames. It is enough to make the image of the Uchiha clan finally recover, and it will plummet several notches again! And this influence is obviously difficult to accept for the Uchiha clan, who are arrogant by nature and have long been fed up with the cold accusations of others!

Thinking of this, Naruto's mind raced, and he hurriedly conceived two diametrically opposed prototypes......

One of them is to use Fugaku, who is the current patriarch of the Uchiha clan, to understand and control all kinds of hidden information about the writing wheel eye, and to prescribe the right medicine to suppress the space of Obito's writing wheel eye as much as possible.

The other is that from this moment on, as if nothing had happened, let Fugaku lead the Uchiha clan to withdraw from the matter and continue to prepare for the relocation. So much so that the crisis of the unexpected invasion of Obito was left to others to deal with.

Obviously, in the current crisis situation alone, what if the first option is chosen? Then, with the assistance of Fugaku, it was undoubtedly a tiger for Naruto. And even in the process of processing, Naruto inevitably made contact with Obito in battle. But with the guidance of professionals, it is natural to be able to improve the fault tolerance rate in the battle process by several notches!

Of course, if Fugaku, who is the patriarch, is a little hesitant to worry about the rare prospects of the Uchiha clan to improve? Naruto, who didn't intend to be strong, could only settle for the second option and choose the second plan. And then take this as an opportunity to make the Uchiha clan and Obito have as little contact and correlation as possible, even if Obito has the news of the Sharingan, in the process of processing, he accidentally leaked the news? Naruto was also able to use Kakashi, a living example of transplanting Obito's left eye, as evidence, to portray Obito, who has 100% Uchiha blood, as a person from the outer village who accidentally acquired and transplanted the Sharingan during the war!

In other words, in front of this excuse that it is extremely difficult to distinguish the truth from the false for ordinary people who don't know the truth, Naruto has full certainty that he can suppress and maintain the impact that the various crimes that Obito may have on the Uchiha clan within a minimum range!
