The words were divided into two ends. Just as Naruto's body followed the guidance of the talisman paper he made and approached Hinata quickly as he understood the clues, Naruto's two newly created shadow clones also met Sasuke and Tenzo respectively as he thought.

...

"Ha? What?! You said Hinata...she was kidnapped?!"

Not long ago, he held Hinata in his arms and teased her leisurely. As a result, after leaving for a short while, in a blink of an eye, he was told by the little ball fan that Hinata had been taken away by the fake "Hyuga Hinata" who had no real identity... This sudden bad news made Naruto feel as if his mind was not turning, and his mind was dizzy and filled with a trance of unreality. After standing in a daze for a long time, he twitched violently unnaturally while barely squeezing out a smile while looking at the solemn little ball fan in front of him and continued.

"Yes...but how is this possible...ahem, you must be joking with me just now, right, Sasuke? This is a ninja school, almost in the central area where Konoha is most closely guarded! How could someone be so stupid that he ran here to grab people? And he was so dangerous that he was just a child? Tell me, Sasuke...is you are joking, right? It's better that you are just joking!"

"Believe me, Naruto, I also hope I'm joking, but... I'm talking about the facts. After all, although I don't know who the person pretending to be Uncle Hinata is, and what purpose is... But since I want to pretend to be someone else and do such a thing that I dare not meet people in my true face, it must be no good for Hinata."

Seeing that the person in front of him had just sent a shadow clone to contact him, Xiaotuan Fan knew that Naruto had already understood the true meaning of the distress signal he sent to him in a hurry, and had already started a rescue operation for Hinata. While feeling nervous in his heart was greatly relaxed, he continued to explain the reasons for this conclusion to the person, while raising his hand and scratching his head. After a moment of pause, he lowered his head slightly apologetically, and continued to speak with guilt.

"Sorry, Naruto... Although I was by her side when Hinata was taken away... But the other party's strength is really much stronger than me. He... He is definitely a singino! I bet! I... I'm sorry, I can't beat him if I am alone... I'm sorry..."

Although Naruto never said it explicitly, out of his understanding of Naruto, Sasuke knew... When Naruto left temporarily without saying a word, the reason why he did not ask them to pay attention to safety was because Naruto trusted Sasuke's strength. So much so that in Naruto's opinion, ordinary naughty kids, even some unobstructed hooligans, as long as Sasuke is with Hinata, everything will be safe and sound.

The current accidental situation has obviously become a mistake in the young Xiaotuan Fan's eyes. Not only did he let Naruto down his trust, he could only watch as a coward, watching the other party successfully take Hinata away who was unknown to the truth... This sudden blow made Xiaotuan Fan feel deeply guilty and blamed himself, but also more understanding why Naruto was so strict with himself at all times. So even though Naruto is now significantly stronger than his peers, and even some adults, he is still eager for more powerful power.

Just as Naruto once said to him during a special training year - sweat more often in normal times and less blood during wartime. When he was confused, he had only a slight understanding of this. When facing the dilemma of making himself feel helpless, he finally realized the meaning. And quietly, the small fan, which was somewhat complacent and arrogant, gradually became calm and humble due to the significant progress of his own strength.

"...Ahhh, what am I doing? To be a child's temper? This is a dereliction of duty caused by my own mistake. It has nothing to do with Sasuke. What's the right to complain to him... What's more, Sasuke is just a child now, not the powerful ninja who can be the only one in the finale. It's extremely difficult to be able to see through the disguise, leave a backhand, and send warning signals under that situation... If it weren't for me, my whole life would have been completely changed because of my intervening in the middle of the process. He didn't even need to bear this at this age. He just needed to be a genius with a bright light in the eyes of outsiders and enjoy the admiration of his peers."

Facing the guilty appearance of Xiaotuan Fan's self-reproaching guilt, Naruto, who gradually accepted this fact and slowly woke up from reason, immediately curbed the complaints that had subconsciously surged to his mouth. After looking at the figure of Xiaotuan Fan who lowered his head in front of him and did not dare to look at him, Naruto was silent for a long time. Then he took a deep breath, slowly calming down his agitation and anxiety in his heart. With his arms stretched out, he trembled and petite body wrapped around his waist and gently hugged it into his arms. While patting his back for a long time, he gently pressed his chin on Sasuke's shoulder, and smiled with a gentle voice.

"Huh... relax, Sasuke, relax, be good... This is not your fault at all. You have done everything you can in the shortest time and done it very well... You did a good job, Sasuke, you did a good job..."

"Really...really?"

After hearing the familiar and comforting words coming from his ears, the small fan, which was originally resistant to Naruto's arms due to feelings such as guilt and guilt, suddenly softened. After raising his head timidly, he seemed to be trying to endure something, and his whole body trembled slightly, and he asked in a tentative and low voice.

"Naruto, you...you really... don't blame me?"

"Ahhh, of course. You have done a good job, why should I blame you? What's more, since the other party can kidnap Hinata, he must be mentally prepared to break up with Konoha. If he lets him know that you are the young master of the Uchiha clan, I'm afraid you will be kidnapped and encountered an unexpected situation... So, it's a good thing that you can resist the impulse and not take action. I'm very happy to see you standing here safely and report to me, Sasuke..."

While comforting the gentle words, Naruto was good at observing the expressions and expressions, while he noticed the strangeness in his body in his arms, he easily distinguished that this was the physical instinctive reaction caused by hard work to restrain fear. The gentler and doting of Naruto's eyes at the small ball fan became, he also quietly mixed with a little sadness and apologies. Then he reminded himself more deeply that Sasuke, who could support half of the sky in the ninja world in the future, is now just a child who needs his own protection and guidance, and slowly closes up his arms. He hugged the little guy in his arms tightly in order to give him more sense of security and comfort Sasuke's fearful little heart.

"Thank you for your hard work, Sasuke... Be good, be good, don't be afraid... With me here, it's okay... Leave the rest to me."

"Alas? Is it okay already...?"

His eyes were dull, as if to determine whether Naruto was telling the truth, Sasuke subconsciously turned his head a little and looked at Naruto's gentle face full of doting smiles. It was not until he felt the long-lost and familiar warmth and security that he had lowered his head again and buried his face deeply in Naruto's clothes on his chest. While he was very relaxed, he tried hard to suppress the grievances and fears he had endured, and he also vented his tears with the bursting of the dam.

“…Woo…Woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo

Seeing that the little fan finally couldn't help crying, Naruto's eyes suddenly relaxed a lot. While rubbing his head slowly and gently comforting him, he no longer said that he would persuade people not to cry like before... After all, facing the threat and choice of strangers in isolation and helplessness, even a young child who was only five years old in the grade, even a natural genius was still too much. As he cried bitterly, he would vent all the negative emotions in his heart before causing a permanent psychological shadow. It was not a shameful thing for Sasuke now, but it was very beneficial.

It was also at this moment that when facing Xiaotuanfan put down all the grievances of being patient and crying, Naruto realized... Looking back, no matter how hard and tiring the practice training he had or the criticisms and harsh criticisms he had given, Xiaotuanfan almost never complained, but kept silently enduring all this. Even last night, when he had just had a team fight against Orochimaru, Xiaotuanfan never showed any cowardice and weakness, but seemed quite excited and optimistic.

Although it was proved later that Naruto and Sasuke were only facing Orochimaru's elephant-turning clone. Before this, the terrifying pressure spread from this elephant-turning clone was only possessed by a real shadow-level strong man! But even so, the small round fan could still maintain the disguise of the transformation technique in a calm manner, and firmly hid in Naruto's many shadow clones from beginning to end, waiting for the best time to take action... Such a rebellious small round fan was now shocked by a Utsunobu so hard that he dared not fight against it. He still couldn't control himself after the person had left. It has to be said that the contrast between them is too clear and huge.

And if you think about it carefully, it is not difficult to realize, but it is actually very simple - that is because Naruto, who has been with him from beginning to end and regarded as the backbone, happened to leave him at that time.

Don’t forget that before meeting Naruto, the small fan was still in a decadent state of hard work to seek recognition and praise from his father, but was always unsatisfactory. Naruto’s arrival not only gave him the amazing strength necessary to gain Fugaku’s recognition, but also gave Sasuke a support to regain his confidence.

In other words, under the subtle influence of Naruto's long-term companionship, such a spiritual pillar quietly emerged in Sasuke's mind, who is now Ji Shangyou...

As long as Naruto is with him, Sasuke will think that he is omnipotent. Even if his opponent is Orochimaru, a shadow-level powerful man who is at the peak of his strength in the ninja world, he can be fearless and without giving in!

...

On the other side, Naruto, who was discussing countermeasures with Tianzang, quickly learned all this. After talking to Tianzang, because he was away from Sasuke, he didn't have to worry about scaring Sasuke, his originally calm and calm face changed quickly, like an evil ghost, and gradually became distorted and ferocious.

"Very good. Not only did I kidnap my Hinata while I was away, but I also scared my Sasuke to tears... Hehe, beautiful, I did a great job..."

As he spoke, Naruto was like a beast who was completely aroused by his injury, and kept breathing heavily. While opening his mouth to sniff out a thick white mist visible to the naked eye, he not only gradually closed his five fingers, but also fell deeply into his palm, gradually seeping out drops of scarlet blood. Even the blue eyes, which were often filled with smiles like gems, turned into blood-filled terrifying beast eyes!

"No matter who eats the courage of Bear Heart and Leopard, I do such a stupid thing that dislikes me for living too long... I will definitely make them regret... Regret why I was born in this world!"

Just as Naruto seemed furious and disobedient for this sudden change, Tianzang, who was already timid in front of Naruto, suddenly hugged his pitiful "little body" like a frightened rabbit, and was full of grievances.

"Just... it's just this look... it's so terrible, so terrible... I shouldn't have believed that bastard Kakashi's evil spirit, and took on this unlucky job-!"

While crying and complaining in his heart without tears, even though he knew that the person in front of him was just a shadow clone, he was still afraid that Naruto would take his anger to him, which made Tianzang, who was majestic in the eyes of outsiders, could not help but start to retreat repeatedly and quietly distance himself from Naruto.

"Which bastard is it that he is so angry that he is getting angry at the boss again... After more than a year, the psychological shadow has finally faded a little. I don't want to recall the feeling of having nightmares so quickly!"

"Come on, we have a job to do. First, I need you to go..."

The source of fear in Tianzang's heart was Naruto, who knew nothing about the truth. After a little anger was released in his heart, he subconsciously planned to start assigning tasks to support his body as soon as possible. Until he accidentally caught a glimpse of himself who was quietly away from him and was still expanding, he raised his eyebrows curiously and asked in confusion.

"Tianzang, what are you doing? Why are you so far away from me?"

“…ah? Arrive——!”

Naruto's reaction, for Tenzo, who was already a frightened bird, suddenly misunderstood that Naruto was dissatisfied with his actions, so he became a little unhappy when he saw him. Yanyu was a little stunned for a while, and then he jumped up as if his butt was burned by fire, and responded loudly. Then he met Naruto's more confused eyes and hesitated and continued to speak.

"Is there any command? Lord...ah...ah...ah...naru...naru...naru."

"Why did you turn back to your previous stuttering look? It's so strange, you're obviously fine just now?"

After asking in a stern manner, Naruto threw the strange reaction that Tian Huo had shown in front of him because of what he needed to consider now. After thinking for a while, he turned his fingers and followed Ling Dao one by one.

"I need you to go back to the base with me as quickly as possible, and find out the machine I asked you to find a way to buy last time and take it to the body as soon as possible. And, select some brothers who are outstanding in strength, especially those who stealth and assassinate or save hostages. Divide into two groups, one of which comes with us to support the body, and the other to protect Uchiha Sasuke's safety... Before I come back, I hope he is in a state of no damage, remember, be unscathed! I don't want any other guy who is blind to scare him out of nothing!"

"Scared at all..."

After carefully looking at the face of the person in front of him, although he was restrained, his face was still ferocious and terrifying enough, Tianzang repeatedly muttered and couldn't help but mutter in a low voice.

"It is obvious that staying by your side is the easiest thing to be scared out of anything at all..."

"Hmm? What are you talking about?"

"Ah no, no, no...! Uh... I... I mean! Yes! The machine you mentioned has arrived and has been debugged long ago, and the performance is very good! Uh... And... Yes! My subordinates are considering what 'lucky' brothers should be selected to join this action!"

After hearing Naruto's curious words, Tianzang, who was guilty, responded incoherently in a hurry. Then, with a revenge, he secretly decided to call Kakashi, who was so hard that he could take on the "examiner" in this action, and tried carefully to continue asking.

"But, Lord... Naruto, do you need not inform the third generation of Naruto to approve the brothers to make the move first? "

"The situation is urgent, and I can't take care of so much anymore. I will explain it to Grandpa Hizhan in person afterwards."

After hearing the question of Tianzang, Naruto paused for a moment, then waved his hand to refuse without thinking. Then his face became more gloomy and cold, and he continued to say word by word.

"What's more, I'm crying for Sasuke and kidnapping Hinata... Since they did these stupid things, the relationship between me and those idiots who deserve to die has long been no longer as complicated and difficult as the safety of the village..."

"Now, this will be a simple personal grudge!"
