Iron Country, in a small inn.

"Naruto, cheer up!" Ever since being rejected by the Thunder Shadow, Naruto has been devastated when he returns to the inn, locking himself in his room by himself, lying on the ground with his eyes closed, and not saying a word.

As Naruto's teacher, Kakashi walked in with a cup of hot tea, looked at Naruto with a decadent face, and shouted loudly.

"But, Kakashi-sensei, Thunderkage has already rejected our request, he won't revoke Sasuke's want, and I ......" Thinking of this, Naruto gritted his teeth, tears welled up in his eyes, and his tone trembled, "And I can't do anything." ”

Since the disappearance of the eight-tailed Kirabi, Thunder Shadow has always thought that Sasuke's hawk team captured his younger brother, so he issued a wanted notice for Sasuke, resulting in Sasuke now becoming a super S-level rebel ninja in the ninja world.

This is what Naruto doesn't want to see, as a bond with Sasuke, Naruto's feelings for Sasuke are absolutely undoubted, and Naruto is very sad to see that his good friend has become a traitor and is wanted.

Therefore, he rushed to the Land of Iron with Kakashi and Yamato along the way, just to stop Thunderkage halfway through, hoping that he would be able to lift Sasuke's want.

But he failed, and Thunder Shadow refused Naruto's request without hesitation.

As a result, Naruto now looks very decadent, and his mood is naturally very depressed.

"If you don't do it, you will never know if you can succeed, how can you give up easily because of one of your own failures, this is not like the Naruto I know."

Kakashi handed the hot tea in his hand to Naruto, looking at the strap on Naruto's head, feeling very sad and blaming himself.

In order to vent Thunderkage's disappearance of the Eight-Tails Kirabi, Naruto was voluntarily beaten up by Kirabi's disciples, begging them to let go of their resentment against Sasuke.

How to repay virtue with virtue?

Hatred only breeds hatred, and peaceful coexistence can only be achieved by letting go of hatred.

This is also a belief that Naruto has always held in his heart.

"Actually, as a teacher, I also blame myself, Sasuke is also my disciple, if I could have kept him in the village in the first place, maybe not so many things would have happened in the future."

Kakashi looked at Naruto, recalling his past in his mind, and suddenly said, "Perhaps, I'm really not a good teacher!" ”

"Kakashi-sensei!"

Hearing Kakashi's words, Naruto raised his head and looked at him blankly, and saw that Kakashi was also very self-blaming.

"Actually......"

"Don't comfort me."

Kakashi turned his gaze out the window, and at this time the snow was falling, and Yamato was standing alone in the courtyard with heavy snow, but his eyes were always fixed on this side.

"Maybe what I said at the beginning was wrong, just to comfort myself and you, but to deceive myself!"

I remembered that after Sasuke left Konoha at the beginning, Kakashi said to Naruto, "It's all going to be okay, one day Sasuke will come back, and then Class Seven will be back to the way it was." ”

"But!"

Naruto also fell silent, "I thought that Sasuke would get his revenge and come back after killing Itachi, but now he has joined the Akatsuki organization and is doing this kind of thing." ”

"The current Sasuke has changed, he is no longer the Sasuke he used to be, and now he is going further and further on the path of hatred."

However, there must be a reason for this, and this is definitely not the Sasuke I know.

Sasuke's nature is very kind, and there must be a reason why he became like this.

Thinking of this, Naruto suddenly stood up from the ground.

"So, I must find out what is going on here, why Sasuke is like this, I must pull Sasuke back from the path of hatred, this is my promise to Sakura, and even more so to myself!"

Seeing that Naruto was back to his previous fighting spirit, Kakashi couldn't help but smile, feeling very relieved in his heart.

Just as Kakashi and Naruto continued to discuss how to get Thunderkage to revoke the wanted for Sasuke.

A huge roar sounded high in the air.

"What's the situation?"

Upon hearing the loud noise, Kakashi immediately lifted his forehead guard, revealing the kaleidoscope writing wheel eye inside.

A scarlet blood wheel eye kept turning in its left eye, exuding an evil aura.

But the powerful pupil power in it confirms its strength.

"Someone is coming this way, and it's just us, and it's strong."

At this moment, Yamato also hurried over from outside and said with a serious face.

Yamato, who has the first generation of cells, is very sensitive to the sense of the surroundings with the power of Mu Dun.

"Could it be for Naruto? Now that the Akatsuki organization's goal of collecting tailed beasts has been exposed, and Naruto has a nine-tailed body, he ......"

Thinking of this, Kakashi's eyes suddenly widened and he looked at the sky with a shocked expression.

I saw a huge force descending from the sky, setting off a violent hurricane, which directly lifted off the roof of the hotel.

"What is this?"

Just as Kakashi opened the Blood Wheel Eye and looked up at the sky, a birdsong resounded through the heavens and the earth.

Immediately afterward, they saw a huge and incomparably large bird flying towards them in the sky.

It wasn't until they flew above them that they stopped, and then Kakashi and the others noticed that a few black dots suddenly jumped down from the big bird and slowly flew towards them.

Rumble~

The black dot flew down from the sky and smashed into the ground at once, making a big hole in the ground.

In the big pit, several figures slowly walked out of the dust and smoke.

"Long time no see, Naruto Uzumaki!"

Ye Xuan looked at the blond hair in front of him, wearing orange-orange clothes, and a few cat-like whiskers on both sides of his face, and this was Naruto Uzumaki.

"Are you...... Nagato? ”

Seeing Ye Xuan's appearance, Naruto looked at it carefully before finally recognizing Ye Xuan's identity.

"How did you end up like this? And you're not already ......"

Seeing Ye Xuan's appearance change drastically, Naruto asked with a surprised expression, a hint of suspicion flashing in his eyes.

"Already dead?" Looking at Naruto, Ye Xuan replied quickly.

"I'm not dead, and not only am I not dead, but I've completely regained my strength!"

Ye Xuan looked at the Destiny Child of the Hokage World in front of him with a playful expression, and said slowly.

"What are you doing here? You know that the organization is too presumptuous, don't you know that the entire ninja world is now wanted by you? ”

Kakashi and Yamato, who were standing on the side, glanced at each other, and the two of them took a few steps forward in unison, protecting Naruto in the middle, one left and one right, and in Kakashi's hand, a bright thunderbolt suddenly appeared, making a crackling sound.

It's Kakashi's famous stunt Rachel!

"Of course I'm here to capture the Nine-Tails!"
