Four figures dressed in dark red immortal robes have returned to the Land of Fire.

At this moment, they stopped outside Konoha Village, looking at the scenery inside the village from a distance.

The tranquil village is surrounded by a deep green forest, and you don't have to go close to feel the peace in it.

Sunlight shone down, and the Hokage's Yan Yan stood proudly on the north side of Konoha Village, looking at the village below and beyond, inheriting the will of one generation after another, and this was the village they had to protect even if they sacrificed their lives.

"Let's go."

Naruto Uzumaki said to a few.

He walked in the front, and took the three of them to the village openly.

The three of them glanced at each other vaguely, then followed. They had no words, but by the exchange of their eyes, they had come to some kind of agreement, which was now essential.

After all, if the higher-ups of Konoha did not agree with them staying in Konoha, then their lives might remain in Konoha, and at that time, several people would have to cooperate fully to escape from this seemingly sunny village.

Just as a few people were about to approach the gate of Konoha, a rustling sound suddenly came from the forest next to them, and several people immediately looked at it.

A masked figure flashed out of it, and by the time she fell, she was already half-kneeling beside Naruto.

"Naruto-sama."

"Code name nine?" Although he couldn't see the face of the person in front of him, Naruto Uzumaki still recognized her as the captain of the roots, codename Nine, that incomparably charming young lady.

"What's wrong?" Naruto Uzumaki asked.

Codename Nine glanced at the three people behind Naruto without a trace, his hidden face full of vigilance, and replied, "Hokage-sama and the advisors and others asked you to take them directly to the Hokage Building. ”

Naruto narrowed his eyes, what should come will always come, "Okay, I see, you can step down." ”

The proclamation of code name nine reached the ears of the three of them at the same time, and the three of them were silent, just staring at Naruto's back and looking at the Hokage building not far away, and their eyes flashed at the same time.

They knew that the real test was coming, and this time it was not against a Naruto, but against the elite power of a ninja village.

If Naruto could save the three of them under the pressure of the entire village, then they would no longer have any worries, but the three of them understood that it would not be so simple to fight the entire village with the strength of one person.

In any case, this village is still dominated by the will of the five generations of Hokage. It was only out of trust in Naruto and recognition of his great wish that the few did not flee immediately.

"Why don't you step down?"

Naruto Uzumaki looked down at Codename Nine, who had not left beside him, and wondered.

Codename Nine seemed to be hesitating about something, and as a person from the roots, she naturally trusted Naruto as well. What's more, Naruto has long been the leader they agree with, and they will support and obey any decision made by the leader.

Thinking of this, Codename Nine finally whispered, "Naruto-sama, I have one more thing to tell you. ”

"Say it."

"Now the Hokage Building has gathered all the elite forces in the village, and they are all there waiting for Naruto-sama to return."

"Well, I had expected that. It's okay, you go back to your post. ”

"Yes!"

Codename Nine vanished in an instant.

Naruto Uzumaki suddenly turned his head and found that the three people behind him were all staring straight at him, and couldn't help but laugh: "What, are you scared?" ”

"Hmph, if a small Konoha can make us afraid, we won't be traitors." The scorpion responded indifferently.

Kakuto's old-fashioned face also evoked a cold smile, "Let's go, I would like to see what kind of lineup Konoha has prepared to welcome us, and I hope that the village established by the original Hokage will not disappoint me." ”

"Hehe," Fei Duan touched the March Scythe on his back, "I've never been afraid of anything in my life, but if there is a conflict, Chief, you don't mind if I kill someone." ”

Naruto Uzumaki saw a few people like this, and held his forehead, he was really worried in vain, with the courage of these guys, how could he be afraid?

"Let's go, you don't have to worry, I'll take care of everything. Because, now you are no longer Xiao, but my companion Naruto Uzumaki. ”

The young man wore the robe of the immortal and returned to Konoha Village.

Behind him, the three of them followed closely, with no expression on their faces, but from time to time they looked at the scenery in the village.

"What a beautiful village." The three of them still had the heart to nod and comment.

However, out of the corner of their eye, they would always see a series of shadowy and fast-moving figures, gathering towards a certain place.

"Hmph."

On the way, because of the appearance of several people, all the villagers stopped what they were doing and looked at several people with different expressions.

A child who was very close to a few people suddenly ran over innocently, shouting as he ran, "Wow, Brother Naruto, you're back." ”

The child's expression was different from the others, his big eyes seemed to be full of stars, and he looked adoring, but it would make Naruto even happier if he could wipe the snot off his nose.

Suddenly, just as he was approaching a few people, he accidentally fell and crashed into the scorpion.

“……”

The scorpion watched the child get up quickly, and then looked at the corner of his immortal robe, sorry, there was already a cloud of snot on it.

The scorpion's delicate eyebrows couldn't help but be raised, and his face was even more expressionless.

"Big brother, I'm sorry."

Fortunately, the child apologized in time, wiped his nose, and wiped the scorpion's clothes.

“……”

Click, click!

The joints in the puppet's body swayed, and the slender hand of the scorpion had slipped out of the cuff, and in the child's innocent eyes, the palm of the hand changed, and sharp blades popped out of the fingers, and the blades were faintly purple, obviously coated with poison.

The scorpion is going to catch the child.

"Wow, big brother, are you a puppet, it's so cool and powerful."

The child was still innocent, and his big eyes were suddenly full of little stars looking at the scorpion, facing the scorpion's terrifying palm, he was not afraid, and he did not know fear, because this was a peaceful Konoha Village, and he never thought that the big brother in front of him, who looked beautiful, actually wanted to kill him.

What's more, this big brother is with Naruto's older brother whom he admires.

The scorpion's outstretched hand stiffened, and suddenly turned, quickly scraping the snot off the corner of his coat and throwing it to the ground not far away.

His delicate face bloomed with a smile, his palms returned to their original shape, he touched the child's head, and said, "You are very discerning." ”

The horns next to him were all relieved, and they almost thought that the scorpion was going to kill this little one. Naruto Uzumaki was very indifferent, he had already prepared.

"Big brother, your clothes look so good, I want to wear the same clothes as you in the future."

The scorpion was stunned, it turns out that he looks good in this outfit?

The smile on his face was even bigger, "Then you'll have to work hard." ”

"Hmm!" The child nodded earnestly.

At this time, an adult in the crowd quickly ran over, his face was pale, and he quickly carried the child back, not even daring to look at a few people.

"Father-sama, what are you doing, I haven't talked to Brother Naruto for a while."
