Chapter 220 Three generations of Hokage who do bad things with good intentions
Just as Maki ordered his ninjas to stay at their posts, he was preparing to go to the village to report to the fourth generation of the Hokage of Naruto and his group. Naruto and his group, who had entered the Sand Village first, finally got their way into the Sand Village as they wished, and avoided the torment of sleeping in the desert wilderness again.
But at the same time, compared to entering the Sand Hidden Village, who knew that they could sleep on the soft bed that they had not been missing tonight, and no longer had to endure the sleeping bag that was filled with difficult-to-clear yellow sand and gravel, which made them feel uncomfortable all night, the whole body and mind were obviously relaxed. The smile on Naruto's face not only did not spread or deepen, but instead quickly restrained, tightened the originally stretched brows and tangled together again.
"Strange... Logically speaking, the Konoha Ninja Village and the Sand Village are no longer hostile... Moreover, because of the long-term trade cooperation relationship, even if they are not very harmonious, they should be neutral and friendly. But why did I notice the existence of murderous intent in the captain just now..."
After secretly spreading his own perception to the greatest extent, and when his mental power is highly concentrated, he feedbacks his own perception results and confirms that he and his group have left the observation range of the guard forces led by Maji. Naruto just slowly gathers his perception and returns to himself, while murmuring to himself.
"There is no tendency to pursue, and there are no ambush or traps along the way... Could it be that the strong murderous intent and hatred that I felt from the captain just now is really just my illusion?"
As a collection of all kinds of negative emotions in the world, the Nine Lama's Nine Lama's Nine Lama, when he was with Nine Lama day and night and was honest and trusting each other, Naruto's ability to perceive all negative emotions was far beyond the level of ordinary perceived ninjas. Even though the murderous intent flowing out of Maki's eyes was fleeting and he immediately covered it up with words and actions, he was still keenly aware and captured by Naruto.
It is also because of this, just like Maki who was personally signed by the third generation of Hokage, far out of the treatment that he could get from the C-level mission, and he became suspicious of Naruto's purpose of "escorting the caravan back to the village". Because after reporting that he and his group came from Konoha Ninja Village, they unexpectedly discovered the existence of a strong murderous intent on Maki. It is true that Naruto's relationship with Maki... or the surface of Sakura Village and Konoha Ninja Village show the world's harmonious and friendly relationship.
In addition, there is another point that makes Naruto more confused and puzzled, that is, after Maki looked through and confirmed the authenticity of the clearance documents, he changed his attitude towards them.
Logically speaking, after confirming the identity of Naruto and his group, and for the sake of the overall image of the village, a few words of hypocritical apology in an official tone is not impossible... But before, when Naruto and Maki responded to the harmony with each other, Maki gave Naruto the feeling that there was certainly a certain deliberate disguise. However, at the same time, Naruto noticed that Maki seemed to treat a distinguished guest, full of cautious humility.
This is obviously full of indescribable sense of incongruity for Naruto and his group a moment ago, and as the host of the five ninja villages in the world and the equal status of Konoha Ninja Village.
"At a moment, it seemed like there was a grudge to kill our father and take away our wife. When we looked at us, we felt so hatred. Then, we seemed to be welcoming a distinguished guest from afar, we were so polite... What kind of abacus is this hidden village in Sand Village..."
It was precisely because Naruto saw this strange thing that made him unpredictable that even after confirming that there was no crisis against him in the Sand Hidden Village, the frown lines between his eyebrows did not dissipate, but became more confused and confused. He couldn't help but walk slowly, while taking out his backpack and giving Maki a comparison and verification of his identity, which caused Maki to come to a clearance document that could be called a 180-degree change. While slowly reading and observing carefully, his lips pursed and murmured in a low voice.
"Is there anything wrong with this customs clearance document given to me by Grandpa Hizai... Isn't it right? It shouldn't be... According to Grandpa Hizai, this was made according to the regular process. It was genuine and obtained the genuine customs clearance document that was personally stamped and effective by Naruto Konoha Ninja Village. How could there be any problem..."
"What's wrong? Naruto? What happened?"
Just as Naruto was possessed, while walking, he was muttering and pondering. Itachi, who was walking beside Naruto, gradually noticed something was wrong with Naruto, and then quietly followed Naruto's unintentional slowdown and slowly walked at the end of the team. Then he narrowed his eyes slightly and asked in a warm voice, raised his hand and gently pressed Naruto's arm, gradually calling Naruto's consciousness back to reality.
"Or...what is wrong with you?"
"Hmm? Ah... Itachi Sang... To be honest, I don't know whether this is considered a danger... Well, let me tell you this, just now, I saw..."
The thoughts suddenly interrupted and woke up with the intervention of the people around him, allowing Naruto to instinctively close the pass certificate in his hand, and looked in the direction of the "culprit" that disturbed his thinking. Until his consciousness gradually became clear, he could identify that the person standing beside him was a memory that he shared with him and could trust him completely. After pausing a little, he handed over the pass certificate in his hand to Itachi, while looking at the other people who were gradually moving away from the corner of his eyes, deliberately lowering the volume decibels, and informing Itachi all the things he had been struggling with before.
"So, the reason why you remain silent after entering the village... is because you are struggling with these?"
Perhaps it was because the authorities were confused by the bystander Kiyoshi, or it was because Itachi was worthy of the title of genius. As soon as Naruto finished speaking, Itachi gradually sorted out the reasons that Naruto was puzzled into one place, and used this to guess it. Itachi's heart was strange, and the heart that was suspended subconsciously gradually retracted, and the expression he looked at Naruto became more and more... He wanted to laugh but didn't dare to laugh?
"If I'm not wrong... Naruto, you are just thinking too much like the captain."
"Ha? I'm thinking too much? What does this mean..."
"Sometimes, there are too many aspects of care, which will make you dizzy, Naruto. Although it is a peaceful time, due to the hatred formed in the war, it is inevitable that there are still people in the Hidden Village in Sand Village who will hold a grudge against us Konoha... Well, in addition, I would like to ask you a question, Naruto. The former captain of the Hidden Village in Sand Village, is it really you?"
"Bo Feng's face is numb...? Ah, did you say that name?"
After hearing the person in front of him, he suddenly asked about his false identity he deliberately activated, Naruto raised his hand in surprise and scratched his nose, raised his eyebrows slightly, and nodded in confusion.
"Yes, that's indeed the fake identity that I specially asked Grandpa Rizhan to fabricate for me before I left... What's wrong? I suddenly asked this question, is there any problem with my identity?"
"I'm afraid unfortunately, it's really related to this name, Naruto..."
As Naruto became more curious and puzzled, he admitted to giving the answer in person. While trying hard to hold back his laughter, Itachi shook his head slightly to cover the shocked and silenced look in his eyes, he opened the pass-through document he received from Naruto. Then, from the Naruto seal and the autograph of the third generation, he further confirmed the last guess answer in his heart. Then, he spread his hands with a smile and shrugged, and continued to say with a whisper.
"Before we left the village, there was such a hot news in Anbu. It was about the kidnapping conspiracy of Yunyin Village, who was originally unknown but with one person's strength, successfully rescued the young newcomer of the Hinaga clan clan, and successfully advanced to the Shanginin with such outstanding contributions. Hakumima... Now it seems that I should have thought of it. This Hakumimama is the same person as you Uzumaki Naruto. After all, the only person in the village who once had the surname Hakumima, only the fourth generation of Hokage. With your concern for that little girl, how could she be so anxious that she was waiting patiently for the result instead of helping her personally?"
"Advanced to become a sage? I? Why haven't I heard of this at all?!"
As the words it said were verbatim, Naruto, who was completely unaware of the rumors, suddenly widened his eyes in disbelief, and raised his fingers tremblingly, pointed at himself with suspicion.
"No kidding... I'm only less than five years old, how could I go... Wait a minute..."
However, before Naruto subconsciously finished his doubts that came to his throat, Naruto's mind appeared in his mind before leaving the village. He asked the third Hokage for help and asked him to fabricate the man "Hakumima" for himself, Naruto's somewhat strange words.
...
"Is Haruki's face numb... So, Naruto, what type of identity do you want?"
"Well... it's up to Grandpa Rizhan, you decided on it. Anyway, it's just a disguised identity. As long as it's not a rebellious man, it doesn't matter what it is~"
"Oh? Whatever... Hehe, okay, that old man, I thought of what kind of background should I arrange for you to better match your hero's life experience...and, it is absolutely true and credible~"
...
"Itaisan...I seem to understand what you want to say..."
As he spoke, Naruto raised his hand without knowing whether to cry or laugh. Then he felt helpless and sighed while holding his forehead and sighing. The corners of his mouth slightly raised and whispered in a warm voice.
"After all, Grandpa Rizhan still didn't let me go... I tried every means to give me compensation, and planned to restore my due heroic status as soon as possible... I have clearly told Grandpa Rizhan countless times, but I didn't care about these false names at all..."
Itachi's words made Naruto feel like he was cutting a mess with a quick knife, and his thoughts suddenly became clear. This was a clue, and he followed the clues and found a reasonable explanation for the various abnormal phenomena he had encountered before.
Among the plans and arrangements made by Naruto in advance, he originally thought that the third generation Naruto would at most arbitrarily arrange the title of "Naruto Habuki". Then even if he tried to save trouble, bypassed the cumbersome approvals and directly obtained the customs clearance documents signed by the third generation Naruto Konoha Ninja Village. Like the second generation ancestor among the four people in Yundong Village, when he encountered other people's suspicion, he was justified to say that he was relying on the convenience obtained by the background, and at the same time, he created the image of a harmless second generation official who could only rely on the back door to rely on his relationship.
But if the third generation Naruto did not deliberately conceal Naruto's image as "Hori Mian Ma", subdued the four-person group of Yunyin Village that invaded the village with his own strength, and added this credit to "Hori Mian Ma" without any compromise... that would be a bit intriguing.
The powerful young young ninja nin arrived at Sand Village with the customs clearance document signed by the third generation Naruto, but it was just to perform an ordinary task of escorting the caravan. No matter how dull the Sand Village is, it should be seen that Naruto is a drunkard... In such a significant contrast, Naruto deliberately chose C-level missions in order to keep a low profile, which naturally became a foolish act of no silver here.
In other words, because he was determined to make up for the unfair treatment Naruto had suffered, the third-generation Hokage did not help Naruto cover up the figure he had hidden in the invasion of the four-person group in the Cloud Hidden Village as before when Naruto asked him to forge his identity. Instead, he was openly promoted in the village, thereby portraying "Hori Mian Ma" into a heroic character, trying to allow Naruto to bear the dazzling halo of "Koba Hero" even outside the village. So much so that because Naruto did not reveal the reason for his outing to the third-generation Hokage before he went out, this kind-hearted act turned into a good ending of doing bad things.
"Well... there is nothing I can do, it has attracted the attention of Sand Village, so I can only take one step at a time..."
With a weak sigh on his lips, Naruto took back the pass certificate from Itachi's hand, but he carefully put it back into his backpack with great importance. The smile in his eyes could not see any complaints and blame.
After all, after hearing Itachi's explanation, Naruto's heart naturally outlined the loving and doting smile of the third-generation Naruto's love and doting smile... Naruto was happy and satisfied because of this kind old man who always cared about him and always wanted to compensate him, so how could he blame Naruto for his good intentions for his mistakes that he could not explain to others in advance?
"Anyway, in terms of the result, if I can comfort Gaara's injured heart, it will only benefit and not harm the Sand Village. If I count it like this, I shouldn't think about stopping me... Tsk, it's just a bit painful, and I've been following me before."
While all the confusion in his heart disappeared, Naruto's usual gentle smile returned to his face. After a little pause, he accelerated his pace and stopped ahead and waited for him and Itachi and others to walk quickly. The smile on his lips became more and more intense, and he continued to say to Itachi casually.
"Let's go, Itachi San, it's been delayed for too long, Shi Mizui San and the others are already urging us."
But what Naruto didn't notice was that after he resumed his smile, Itachi, who had been staring at him, gradually curled his eyes and smiled with relief.
"Ah, that's right..."
In the soft murmur, Itachi nodded while in his heart, he had been overlapping with Naruto's image for so many days, and was completely separated from Naruto's body. In a quiet moment, he restored his previous absolute trust in Naruto.
"I will think about others and think about problems from other people's perspective..."
"No matter how you think about it, Naruto, who attaches his companion so much, will definitely not become that kind of monster."
