The words were divided into two ends, just when Kaori's mother was shattered because she had witnessed Naruto's true appearance, so that she was stunned to the point where she couldn't speak for a long time. Naruto, who didn't know anything about this, stretched out his arms and kicked on the spot, looking quite comfortable and relaxed.

"Uh-huh...... Hehe, sure enough, it's still comfortable in the original body......"

While removing the effect of the transformation technique and restoring his original appearance as a child, Naruto no longer has to bear the chakra consumption caused by the transformation technique all the time. So much so that after stretching his muscles and bones, he habitually held his little head with both hands, grinning and laughing, and joked to himself.

It's not that as one of the most basic ninjutsu in the Naruto world, maintaining a transformation technique with a difficulty level of only D for a long time will be a huge burden on Naruto. After all, before maintaining, or even learning the art of transfiguration. Relying on the abundance of chakra reserves he possessed, Naruto had already begun to try, and succeeded in doing so, to be able to maintain the existence of multiple shadow clones twenty-four hours a day. As a result, the already insignificant consumption of the transformation technique can almost be said to be negligible in front of Naruto.

It's just that it's one thing to consume a small amount, but it's the same thing to keep the output of chakra at all times, and to get rid of this burden and no longer need to deliberately maintain the disguise of transformation techniques...... There is still a significant gap between the two.

It's like a breathable and cool short sleeve. In the hot summer, wearing it will not bring much burden to yourself. But if you have a choice, the experience of enjoying the cool at home is obviously much better than the former.

"Huh? Why are you all looking at me like that? ”

After getting rid of the slight cumbersome feeling caused by the transformation technique, Naruto suddenly felt refreshed, and gradually noticed the strange gaze projected on him. Then follow the direction of the source, subconsciously turn his head slightly sideways, and the corners of his mouth rise slightly. Habitually smiling under his eyes, he joked exaggeratedly.

"What? I haven't seen the true face of this handsome guy for so long, causing you to indulge in it and can't extricate yourself in front of the handsome and dashing face of this handsome guy? ”

"Whether the face is handsome or something, I don't know...... All I know is that after more than a week, your brazen abilities have come a long way, Naruto. ”

After seeing Naruto's gaze shift, he showed a smug appearance, knowing that the other party still hadn't noticed the strangeness of Xiangri's mother beside him. It made Itachi laugh and tease in response, and turned his head slightly, trembling slightly as he tried to suppress the smile in his heart. With his arms folded, he snorted at Naruto.

"Speaking of which, in your true face, indulge in it or something...... No, there's really one here. ”

"What does it mean to be cheeky? I'm telling the truth! Tell me the truth, you know! ”

Maybe it's because after the transformation technique is lifted, he returns to the original appearance of a young child. plus the people around him, they are all familiar and trustworthy existences. Naruto subconsciously returned to his true nature, and he didn't intend to maintain a mature and steady disguise. And after hearing Itachi's ridiculous words, he suddenly let go of the serious and reliable image that he had been trying to maintain for the past week. Then he pouted, and in a milky tone that was born with a young child's milky voice, he complained indignantly in response.

"Huh? Wait? Is there really one? What are you kidding, aren't you used to seeing me like this...... Huh? ”

Following the half-joking, half-serious words of the Itachi, and the rather obvious eye gesture. As usual, Naruto couldn't help but turn his gaze a little again. And in front of the petrified form of Xiangri's mother, who came into view, he finally realized that Itachi suddenly remembered the reason why he could remove the disguise of the transformation technique. Immediately, the joke in his mouth was slightly stunned, and he raised his hand slightly embarrassed and kept stroking the tip of his nose.

"Tsk, oh no, I forgot about this stubble...... I'm used to the identity of the waves, and I forgot to find an opportunity to explain to others and get a 'preventive shot'......"

It was also at this moment that consciousness was gradually awakened by the sound of conversation between Naruto and Itachi, which was not deliberately suppressed. Or faintly, he sensed Naruto's embarrassing gaze. The gap between Naruto's true face and the image of "Ha Feng Mian Ma" in the past week of contact and acquaintance is too huge, so that he never dared to believe the picture he saw with his own eyes, and even fell into petrification on the spot, and began to gradually recover her movements.

“…… Naruto...... Facial numbness...... Naruto...... Facial numbness...... That Naruto-kun ...... He...... Reside...... Actually...... Just a kid?! ”

While unconsciously whispering and muttering repeatedly, his eyes, which were as wide as copper bells, began to look left and right. Let the eyes be on the "wave wind face numbness" who has not lifted the disguise of the transformation technique for the time being because he wants to hold the sleeping Xianglian, and the immature boy in front of him who shrunk his neck quite awkwardly, so that he looks more and more small. And no matter how you look at it, you can't see that "Hakaze Mianma" and Naruto Uzumaki are the same person at all, but more like a pair of biological father and son, and the corners of his eyes twitch and tremble to himself.

"Just kidding, this ...... How is this possible...... Or is it that I consume too much physical energy while traveling, and I unconsciously start dreaming? Or...... This child's posture is a prank deliberately made by Naruto-kun using the camouflage effect of the transformation technique?! ”

"Ho, it looks like you're not just bringing back new friends. And, forgetting to explain something to people? ”

Slightly stunned, following the gaze of Kario's mother, he looked back and forth for a moment at the gap between Naruto and the shadow clone, and after cooperating with the self-doubting words that Kario's mother whispered in a low voice. The three generations of Hokage suddenly took the general situation and touched the general situation. And the smile in his eyes was even stronger, and when Naruto subconsciously cast a look of help, he pretended to be serious and teased.

"Before I listen to your report, I think I'd give you a little time to explain it clearly."

In fact, it wasn't just Kaori's mother who was bewitched by Naruto's appearance...... Rao was accustomed to seeing Naruto's childish posture, and clearly understood that the other party was just a young boy under the age of five Hokage, and when Naruto and his party stepped into the office, they couldn't help but have some misunderstandings and illusions.

After all, when Naruto returned, he always maintained a mature and steady young appearance. In addition, when Xiangri's mother and others then walked into the office, in the arms of Naruto's doppelganger, a young girl who had never met was sleeping sweetly. From the action of tightly clutching the corner of Naruto's clothes, it is not difficult to see that the girl is dependent on and intimate with Naruto. In addition, in order to keep Kaori from being too far away from his mother, Naruto inadvertently let the shadow clone holding Kaori stand on the left hand side of Kaori's mother.

In this case, if you look at it roughly, the atmosphere between the mother and daughter and Naruto is undoubtedly like a warm and harmonious family of three. So much so that for a while, even the three generations of Hokage forgot Naruto's true age, and instead subconsciously thought seriously about how Naruto was able to give birth to such a big girl in just over a week away from the village.

If it hadn't been long after, the three generations of Hokage would have consciously recalled that Naruto at this moment was still a milky child. Even if the hair doesn't grow together, it is impossible to have the function of giving birth to a child...... Well, I'm afraid that the three generations of Hokage, who was shocked by the "truth" that Naruto just left the village and turned into a wife and daughter as a winner in his life, will not be able to suppress the gossip nature and curiosity in his heart, and will ask directly.

In other words, even the three generations of Hokage himself, who were more familiar with Naruto, were almost misled and misinterpreted by this bizarre and shocking, but seemingly logical and heartwarming picture. After more than a week of getting along, Naruto has long been recognized as a rising star with many labels such as strength, stability and reliability, and young and promising, and this image has gradually been fixed and preserved in her heart. It is understandable that Naruto's diametrically opposed true face will be frightened into incoherent doubts.

"Ahhh......h A little...... A little misunderstanding, haha......"

After seeing the appearance of the three generations of Hokage trying to hold back laughter until his shoulders trembled slightly, Naruto naturally knew that this old man who was going to watch the excitement would not help him out of the siege. and then responded with a weak smile, and little by little refocused his attention on Xianglian's mother. And in the disbelief of Xianglian's mother's self-doubting words, she habitually raised her hand and scratched her head. After arranging his words a little, he gestured with his hands and tentatively explained.

"That...... Although I forgot all the way so far, I should explain it to you a little bit first, so that you can be mentally prepared or something...... But Auntie, it's not like you're dreaming. As you can see. This current figure is indeed my true appearance. ”

“…… Call...... Whew......"

Quietly moved to his waist, and then pulled and twisted it hard, feeding back his severe pain. and the obvious answer that the person in front of him admitted with his lips open and closed. makes Xianglian's mother have to be sure that she is indeed not in an absurd dream. After taking deep breaths again and again, he kept trying to suppress the complex emotions in his heart. While I couldn't help but look at the significant gap between the image of "Bo Feng Mian Ma" and Naruto. Immediately, although the words were still a little trembling, they were able to re-reveal some logical and complete sentences.

"Although I have long guessed that there should be a lot of secrets hidden in your child...... However, when I was able to confirm it with my own eyes, it was still a little unbelievable. ”

Between the words, Xianglian's mother's thoughts couldn't help but recall some of the overheard talking words when she was staying in Shayin Village.

Although Shayin Village is located in the desert covered with yellow sand, the structure of the houses is deliberately built to block heat and sandstorm invasion. Even the sound insulation of the house is obviously much better. However, due to the fact that the room used by the group when they rented the hotel was only separated by a wall, Xiangri's mother still heard Naruto, Itachi, and Shisui discussing how to settle her mother and daughter after returning to the village before falling asleep. And in the process, I vaguely heard words like "mother and son live with me".

At first, Kaori's mother thought that the meaning of these words was that Naruto had planned to arrange for Kaori's mother and daughter to live under the same roof with her. Even based on this, in his thoughts, he once wondered if Naruto was planning to become Kaori's stepfather...... Now that I think about it, it was just that Xianglian's mother was in a half-asleep state, which caused her to miss some crucial keywords when her consciousness was blurred.

Of course, it is true that the truth is the same as Kariu's mother thought, that she had misunderstood Naruto all along......

The so-called "mother and daughter live with me" is actually just Naruto's intention to use his age difference as a cover to pretend to be a mother and son with Kaori's mother, and then logically give people a reason to live in the village for a long time, so as to settle down and live in peace...... After all, according to common sense, by "recognizing" Naruto, an "orphan without father and mother", it would be the quickest and most natural way to make the mother and daughter of Xiangru become permanent members of the village.

It's just that, considering the notoriety of the "reincarnation of the nine-tailed demon fox" that he deliberately did not remove, if he let Xianglian's mother pretend to be his mother...... Let's not mention it for the time being, will my mother, who has a hot temper, be so angry that she will come from the underworld and beat herself. The insults and blank eyes that Kaori's mother and daughter were most likely implicated in because of this move made Naruto choose to give up this plan completely soon after proposing it.

"Hehe, of course......"

I saw that Xianglian's mother gradually eased up and adapted from the blow of the shattering of the three views. And because of this, there was no misunderstanding that Naruto was deliberately deceiving their mother and daughter with other intentions, which led to a rift in the trust that had been cultivated for more than a week. Naruto couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, completely let go of his worries, and began to respond with a big grin as always.

"Even if I am a man who stands up to the sky and the earth, it is understandable that I have some 'insignificant' little secrets!"

Of course, the bystanders are clear, and the authorities are confused......

No matter how careful and cautious Naruto is, it is estimated that as long as Kariu's mother and the three generations of Hokage don't say anything. I'm afraid that in this life, Naruto will never think of it anyway......

Because of his casual proposal, as well as spoiling incense, and inadvertently, the image of a "family of three" without any sense of disobedience was revealed. Naruto, who has not yet stepped into the five-year-old threshold in appearance, almost secured the throne called "stepfather......

Well...... In a sense, it was originally just a lively thought, but in a casual reminder, Itachi who lured Naruto to take the initiative to remove the disguise of the transformation technique. It's like timely rain that has just cleared up this embarrassing misunderstanding......

If you think about it this way, I wonder if Itachi, who has been expecting Naruto to be teased by others because Naruto once calculated his "hatred" with Izumi, will regret all his intestines after knowing this truth?
