Konoha Ninja Village.

Bang bang!

Naruto, the shadow clone, opened the door and looked at the white-haired middle-aged man in front of him, slightly stunned.

“…… I thought it would smell a little strange if you lived alone. Jiraiya stuck his head in and sniffed, slightly surprised.

"Please come in." Naruto stretched out his hand and gestured.

After all, I had to leave this place where I had lived for seven or eight years, and I didn't dare to go out for a few days, so I cleaned up this room inside and out.

"There's nothing to entertain." Place a glass of plain water in front of Jiraiya.

"Want to go out for a walk?" Jiraiya took a sip and asked suddenly.

"I can go out anytime now." Naruto looked out the window, and there was a dark part there.

"I can take you out."

Jiraiya looked into his eyes and said seriously.

“…… No, Mr. Jiraiya. Naruto shook his head slightly.

"Yes."

Jilai also drank the white water in his hand, got up and said, "Before tomorrow, if you have other ideas, you can come to me." ”

Naruto nodded, sent it outside the door, stood in the shadow of the door, looked at the sunny figure outside the door, and said softly:

"Goodbye, Jiraiya-sensei."

With that, he slowly closed the door.

Jiraiya looked at the closed door, looking inexplicable.

"Has Naruto behaved in any way in the past two days?" Finding a dark part of the surveillance, Jiraiya asked.

The dark department naturally knew the identity of Jiraiya, and shook his head slightly, "He is very honest with both of them, and he has been staying in the house." ”

'Honest'

I don't know why, when I heard this word, I only felt a little sad.

"On top of that, he cleaned the house all over again." The dark part continued.

Jiraiya's pupils shrank, and he turned his head to look at the room with the door closed, this kind of behavior ......

Night.

The moon hangs high, and the stars are faint.

For most people, Konoha tonight isn't much different from usual.

After dinner, the family sat together, chatting about the day, and joking with each other from time to time, although it was plain but warm enough.

"Shikamaru, this is for you." Shikamaru's mother handed him a letter, "During the day, a child asked me to pass it on to you. ”

"Letter? Who will write this for me? Shikamaru took it suspiciously, and took it apart.

Shikamaru himself:

It was a great honor to meet you. I vaguely remember that it was a cold winter when everything was withering, and you and I met for the first time......"

Shikamaru's pupils shrank, and he quickly jumped his gaze to the end of the letter, 'Naruto Uzumaki', thinking of Naruto's recent situation in the past few days, his face changed.

Hurriedly got up and ran out of the room.

"Slow down!" Shikamaru's mother hurriedly shouted.

On the cliff above the Hokage, Naruto, the shadow clone, looked down on the lights below, and this afternoon, he had handed over all the farewell letters to his familiar companions.

From today, the old story is over and a new chapter begins!

"Goodbye, Konoha!"

Boom!

His figure turned into a cloud of smoke and disappeared in place.

A town in the Land of Winds.

Inside the hotel.

Naruto, who was lying on the bed, opened his eyes and sat up cross-legged.

"From now on, you're a traitor, are you ready?" The Nine Lamas naturally understood what was going on and asked softly.

"Nature." Naruto laughed.

He was ready early on the moment the decision was made.

……

Looking at the empty and tidy room in front of him, Shikamaru sighed lightly, it seemed that he was really gone.

He did not feel the slightest distress or dissatisfaction with the sudden departure of his friend, but only sincere wishes.

Naruto's identity as a pillar force, he has more or less some understanding because of his family relationship.

Now that the situation has changed abruptly, it is better to go away and fly high than to be imprisoned in Konoha.

He believed that with Naruto's strength, leaving Konoha would be a dragon swimming into the sea from now on, and the world would be so big that he could go anywhere.

"Summoned by the Advisor." A dark figure with a white cat mask appears behind him.

Shikamaru seemed to have expected it, put down the cup in his hand, and followed behind the dark part without hurrying.

"Let's go inside." The dark department pushed open the door to his office and motioned to him.

Shikamaru walked in, and in the not too small office, there were three old men standing or sitting, all three of whom he knew.

the adviser and elder's transfer to Koharu and Mito Menyan; Elder and root leader Shimura Danzo.

"You seem to know why we summoned you?" Zhuan Xiaochun sat on the chair in the center, looked at the child in front of him, and asked.

"Hmm." Shikamaru nodded.

"Yes." Thinking of his surname, Koharu nodded slightly, and instead asked, "Where do you think Naruto Uzumaki will go after he leaves?" ”

Shikamaru shook his head.

"How did you know Naruto Uzumaki was leaving?" She then asked.

"Naruto gave me a letter, right at home."

Shikamaru replied truthfully, he didn't think that these things could hide from these people.

He even had reason to believe that the letter had appeared in the hands of the three old men before he stepped through the door.

"How long have you known Naruto Uzumaki?" Mito Menyan, who was standing by the window, asked.

"It's been almost eight years."

"Why do you think Naruto Uzumaki left?" Mito asked.

“…… I do not know. After a long silence, Shikamaru shook his head again.

There are some things that both sides know, but they can say that he can't.

Language is not without quality, on the contrary, it weighs a lot, more than anything.

"Yes......" Mito Menyan seemed to believe that he really didn't know, "you can go back." ”

Looking at the reclosed door, Zhuan Xiaochun looked at his former comrades-in-arms and asked, "I've asked everything I should ask, what should I do next?" ”

In fact, the best way to find Naruto Uzumaki's traces is to let the interrogation department do it, instead of asking foolish questions like they do now.

Or, if Naruto's playmate was a civilian, someone from the Interrogation Department would have taken over all of this a long time ago.

But unfortunately, none of the few people who played well with Naruto were fuel-efficient lamps.

They are all children of big families, and none of them can come nonsense.

But think about it, besides those guys, who else would dare to ignore their orders and approach the human pillar force.

"That Uchiha Sasuke......" Koharu seemed to be afraid of something, hesitated for a moment before saying, "Do you want to strengthen supervision?" ”

Judging from the information I received not long ago, it seems that the guy Orochimaru has a lot of ideas.

“…… Strengthen the regulation, we can't afford to lose the Uchiha anymore. After a long silence, Mito Menyan said.

"Leave the matter of human pillar power to the roots." Shimura Danzo, who had been silent, suddenly spoke.

The two of them looked at him deeply, but they didn't say anything, so they could only do so.

"The roots will bring the Nine-Tails back as soon as possible."

After Shimura finished speaking, he got up and was about to leave.

"Danzo ......" Koharu suddenly stopped him, "If you can, leave Naruto Uzumaki alive......"

"He's a Watergate kid after all......"

"I see." Shimura Danzou slowly walked into the darkness.
