Just as the chasing soldiers of Grass Ninja Village and the "Cloud Ninja" who kidnapped the "Xianglian Mother and Daughter", an unusually harmonious and harmonious chase scene was staged. In the opposite direction from these two groups, on the path leading to Shayin Village. Naruto and his party sat cross-legged in a circle as if nothing had happened before.

……

"It's been so long, and none of these warning traps have been triggered......"

With his eyes narrowing slightly, the weasel's originally black eyes had already changed into scarlet and eye-catching writing wheels. In order to improve his observation, he intently observed the almost transparent steel wire in front of him, which was difficult to detect at a cursory glance, and whispered to his best friend who was leaning back to back and was also highly focused.

"How's it going over there? Stop water? ”

"It's the same with me, Itachi...... It seems that the group of idiots in the Grass Ninja Village really fell for Naruto's trick and chased them in the direction of Yunyin Village stupidly. ”

Hearing his best friend's inquiry, Zhishui slowly closed the writing wheel eye that had been open for a long time, and restored his dark eyes to the past, so that the depleted pupil power could be restored. Then he turned his body a little sideways and patted his best friend on the shoulder. While glancing at Xiang Li, who was kneeling not far away with his legs bent, clutching the hem of his clothes and looking uneasy and anxious, he couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a gentle smile, and whispered in Itachi's ear.

"Well, but that's fine, let's be considered the first mission Naruto gave us completed. That is, next, it's time to solve the second task...... However, I don't have much experience in taking care of small children. Or, this second task will be left to you, a professional household with a baby? ”

"Huh? Am I alone? ”

The moment he saw the familiar smile on the corner of his best friend's mouth, Itachi knew that he must have stopped the water and wanted to find an excuse to be lazy. I couldn't help but look at the depths of my eyes for a while, and there was obviously still a little bit of vigilance for herself and the little girl who was on the water. While frowning slightly, he resolutely refused angrily.

"No, I won't do it......

"Well, don't be so quick to refuse. After all, you must have experience in bringing a baby~"

I had long expected the rejection of my best friend, but because I rarely get along with children on weekdays, I suddenly let Zhishui take care of a small child, which must be the first two big. So much so that even if it was decisively rejected by Itachi, he still continued in a low voice without giving up.

"No, look at your brother, you transferred ...... Uh, ahem, I mean, how well-behaved and obedient you are. Just soothing a little girl wouldn't be a problem for you, would it? ”

"It's not a ghost...... The reason why Sasuke is obedient is because I am a brother with him, and I have been brought up since I was a child, so he must listen to me...... Moreover, Sasuke is probably more obedient to Naruto than me, right? In this way, it is Naruto who is more suitable for taking care of children. ”

The justifiable persuasion reasons given by his best friend made Itachi suddenly feel a sense of helplessness that he couldn't laugh or cry. Then he subconsciously rolled his eyes, and retorted with a little jealousy, while tugging at the collar of his best friend who had just finished speaking, and was about to smear the soles of his feet with oil. While standing up, ignoring the dying struggle of his best friend, he forcibly restrained the person beside him, and slowly walked to Xianglin's side in the puzzled gaze of Xianglian.

"Alright, let's go, just play with the kid and don't let her get so bored or worried that she disturbs Naruto's healing process...... Moreover, a child's mind is definitely not as complicated as you think. At least, like Naruto's white on the outside and black on the inside, far beyond the realm of common sense...... Ahem, genius. In this world, he is the only one, rest assured. ”

"Hey, once you make a decision, you really don't say anything that will change, Itachi...... Ahh......h I hope that kid really won't be like Naruto......"

After perceiving the coercive measures taken by his best friend, even if Shisui was reluctant to be frightened by Naruto's strong psychological shadow, he had no choice but to respond obediently. Immediately, the expression on his face was as if he was rushing to the execution ground, full of the tragic sense that the strong man would never return, while quietly observing Xianglian's every move as if he was not at ease, while adjusting the direction of his body slightly, taking advantage of his height, he wrapped his hands around his neck and lay directly on the back of Itachi, and at the same time, he naturally rested his chin on Itachi's head, jokingly and jokingly.

"However, it's another illusion, and it's to observe the movement of the trap, I just used too much pupil power, and now I don't have any strength at all...... Now, Itachi, you carry me over. ”

"Hey, are you a child? Obviously you're older than me, and you let me carry you, aren't you ashamed? ”

As soon as he left and joined up with Kushinobi Village, Naruto replenished the chakra to its peak state, so Itachi could easily tell that Shisui was just joking. But he just complained on his lips, but he didn't really look at Xianglian, an "outsider", and directly pushed away the figure of his best friend who took the opportunity to be lazy without giving face. On the contrary, intentionally or unintentionally, adjust the pace of the pace to make the pace more stable.

"Well, though, for the sake of your previous efforts...... Only this once, not for example. ”

"Good——! Hehe, I know that the weasel is the most well-behaved, and I am reluctant to refuse me~"

"Wow...... When I said this, goosebumps were about to come out. ”

"Huh? That's easy to do, I'll help you scratch it~"

“…… Get lost! ”

"Hey, the weasel is not well-behaved, the weasel is murdering me."

“…… Shut up——! ”

……

After making sure that the pursuers were the same as Naruto said, there was no sign of them from beginning to end. In the process of arguing with each other, Itachi and Zhishui narrowed the distance between them and Xianglin, and while exchanging glances with each other, they sang and harmonized, and introduced each other to Xianglian, who had just joined this small tour group and was still a little cramped and nervous.

First, the two of them were secretly instructed by Naruto to try to help Kaori adapt to herself and her mother as soon as possible, and indeed the fact that they had escaped the control of Kushinobi Village. So that the poor little guy who has been scared all day can relax as soon as possible.

The second is to distract Xianglian's attention as much as possible. Use a variety of novel topics to attract Xianglian's curiosity, so that people can quickly integrate into this small tour group, and also forget about external factors for a while. And then avoid affecting Naruto, who is not far away, who is preoccupied with recovering from the physical trauma of Karyo's mother.

……

"Just inject some chakra here as a supplement, and then here, oh, and there......"

Naruto, who was chanting a mantra, muttered something to himself from time to time, while filtering out all the wind attributes in his chakra, condensing it into a pure energy body that was more suitable for the weak woman in front of him to absorb, so that he could infuse it with more life force that the person in front of him desperately needed. While using his previous experience of helping others heal and strengthen their bodies, he immersed his mind in the pure energy that flowed into Xiangri's mother's body, and quickly and effectively moisturized and repaired this traumatized and fragile body from the inside out. It wasn't until most of the hidden dangers that were life-threatening or left with sequelae were healed that most of the results of the perceptual investigation had been cured, that sweat was oozing slightly on his forehead, and a relieved smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"Whew...... Well, aunt, your physical condition is stable for the time being...... At least, as long as you don't suffer any more life-threatening torture, you won't do it again. ”

Squinting slightly, he recalled that he digested the valuable experience he gained when he helped Xianglian's mother heal her body. Naruto released his palm from Kaori's mother's shoulder, completely cutting off the energy supply to Kaori's mother. While adjusting her body slightly, she gently helped her mother, who was still in a trance and couldn't believe that all this was real, from the ground.

"Well, though, having said that, my treatment level is still a little insufficient, and I'm really sorry that I couldn't completely cure my aunt directly...... Therefore, although the remaining injuries will not endanger my aunt's life, if possible, I recommend that my aunt should rest for a few months so that her body can slowly recover to its best condition...... Uh, aunt? Aunt? ”

"I ...... We've really left Kusa Ninja Village...... No! No, no, no...... Child, how can you apologize? It was a miracle that my mother and daughter were able to escape from that village, which I could never have dreamed of! Not to mention, you saved my life......"

Naruto's continuous calls, and feeling it himself, were obviously much easier and smoother, as if he had regained his new body, which made the stunned and sluggish Xiangryu mother gradually come back to her senses. Convinced that he was not dreaming, tears quickly appeared in his eyes. Immediately wept with joy, while hurriedly waving his hand, nodding his head again and again in response with gratitude, while trying to restrain the choked cry in his words, pursing his lips and biting them, and continuing in as smooth a tone as possible.

"You've done a lot for our mother and daughter, enough, enough...... If it weren't for you, I'd just be ...... today Want...... I really don't know how we mother and daughter should repay you...... Woo......"

During the close-up treatment, there was no need to deliberately observe, just a casual glance of his eyes, and Naruto was able to see the appalling tooth marks and scars on Kaori's mother's body...... Leaving aside the number of tooth marks and scars on the whole body, there is no intact skin on the exposed arms alone!

This made Naruto unimaginable what kind of desperate and miserable torture the weak and helpless woman in front of him had gone through all these years to leave such heinous scars!

At the same time, in the face of this obvious tragic situation, Naruto secretly rejoiced...... Although he was ostracized and insulted by ignorant villagers since he was a child, compared with what happened to Kariu's mother and daughter, in a sense, Naruto's childhood experience has been secretly protected by the three generations of Hokage, and now Naruto, who is unconditionally trusted and cared for by more and more partners such as Kakashi, Jiraiya, and Fugaku, can be regarded as a blessing in misfortune.

After all, Naruto knew it in his heart...... Although he was bullied on the surface, in secret, there are still many partners who care about themselves and can rest assured that they can entrust their backs to each other!

And Xianglian's mother and daughter are isolated in the real sense, trapped in the abyss of despair and unable to extricate themselves! If it weren't for his own whim, he staged such a willful trip as soon as he said go...... Not to mention anything else, after personal treatment, Naruto can be sure that if he continues to walk according to his original fate, Xiangri's mother is destined to die of exhaustion in the last few days!

"Alas, don't say anything to repay or not, our bodies are all flowing with the blood of the Vortex Clan. In this way, maybe go back a few generations, and in terms of our ancestors, we are still a family...... They are all members of the same clan, and when they are in trouble, they will lend a hand and help each other, isn't it a matter of course? ”

Thinking of this, Naruto felt a sense of relief in his heart, and while shaking his head slightly, he gently patted Karu's mother's shoulder as if in response. Wait until the emotions of the woman who was crying with joy in front of her gradually calmed down in the tears. Fang Cai raised his free other hand, pointed in the direction where the lively conversation between Xianglin and Itachi and Zhishui came from time to time, and while bending his eyes and smiling, he spoke again and continued.

"Hey, okay aunt, be happy, don't cry...... Since it is a miracle, it means that the aunt is blessed with a great life, and it is already bitter! No, look over there......"

"Huh?"

In front of the juniors, she couldn't help crying, which made Xianglian's mother suddenly feel a little embarrassed. Immediately, while raising his hand to wipe the remaining tears from the corners of his eyes, he turned his head a little curiously in accordance with Naruto's guidance, and at the same time looked in the direction of his daughter, he gradually heard the sound of cheerful conversation without any class at all.

……

"Alas——!? Both of you ...... It's all ...... Of the Uchiha clan?! Lie......"

"Hey, do you still need to cheat on this kind of thing? Itachi, let's open the eyes of this little guy! ”

“…… It's more serious with a child.,Open the writing wheel for this reason...... I really don't know who the kids are......"

"Huh? Did you just say something? ”

"Uh...... Ahem, I mean, no problem, stop the water. ”

"Hmph, that's pretty much ...... See! This is the Uchiha clan's iconic chakra! And my right eye is infinitely close to the state of the highest level of the writing wheel eye, the kaleidoscope writing wheel eye! Awesome~ Isn't it particularly envious...... it! Weasel! When did you turn on the three hooks! ”

"Huh? Yes...... This one...... I guess I was scared by my parents. ”

"Huh?! You fart! In order to advance the three-hook jade writing wheel, I almost took my life! You actually told me that if you were scared by your parents, you would be able to advance to the Three Hook Jade?! Coax the kids, you! I don't believe it, I don't believe it! Say it quickly! How the hell is it opened! What did you go through in the few days I was away on a mission! ”

"Who lied to you, I was really scared out of the three hooks by my parents...... In these years, no one believes the truth? ”

"Hey, just keep blowing...... Scared by your parents? Tell me, how did your parents scare you? ”

“…… I have the right to remain silent on this matter. ”

“…… Hmph, you can't make it up, can you? I knew that I was scared by my parents into a three-hook jade or something, and you really made it up to coax people! ”

"No, I was really given to it by my parents...... Forget it, whatever you want......"

"Poof, hahaha! You two are so interesting, are you putting on a show? Na, I heard my mother say that the people of the Uchiha clan are very difficult to get along with...... Now it seems that my mother must have been misled by someone, hahahaha! ”

“…… It's all your fault, Itachi! You hurt the cold image that I finally created completely collapsed in front of this child! ”

"Huh?! Hey, hey, be reasonable, stop the water! It's clear that you ...... first."

……

"This ...... This ......"

"Great harvest, great harvest, black history...... Ahem, I mean, aunt...... Your injuries have stabilized, and the little guy is gradually getting rid of the psychological shadow brought by the Grass Ninja Village...... In other words, everything is going for the better, isn't it? ”

Trying to suppress the gloating smile in his eyes, Naruto quietly opened the recording device in his pocket and coughed lightly a few times, reawakening the consciousness of Xiangri's mother, who was stunned again, and stretched out his hand to Xiangri's mother, keeping her face as serious as possible, and Wen Sheng continued.

"I know that the experience of the Grass Ninja Village has made it difficult for my aunt to trust other Ninja Villages. But, I hope my aunt will believe me for once...... Come with us, and I'll help you settle in the Konoha Ninja Village when the trip is over...... And it will be your true second home. ”

"It seems that you are indeed as you say, the operation to rescue our mother and daughter was premeditated...... Well, though, with your healing abilities far superior to mine, there really isn't a possibility that the village you're talking about will have our mother and daughter go through the same ordeal. ”

After hearing the name of the ninja village, Xianglian's mother suddenly couldn't help but tremble and twitch, and instinctively shrunk her neck under the stimulation of the psychological shadow in her heart that had not yet subsided. It wasn't until he saw Naruto's sincere smile full of sincerity that was enough to melt the ice, and remembered what the person in front of him had done for himself and his daughter, that he pursed his lips and hesitated for a moment, then breathed a long sigh of relief. Then he raised his hand and shook Naruto's hand, and the corners of his mouth gradually rose, revealing a smile full of anticipation for the first time in a long time.

"Konoha Ninja Village...... I heard that it was once the only one of the five ninja villages willing to ally with our Uzumaki clan. But I've never seen it before, and it's really exciting......"

"Well, please, Naruto-kun. Please take care of it in the days to come. ”
