Chapter 20 Touched
At the border of the Land of Fire, the camp of the Konoha Ninja Village gathered all the high-end combat forces of Konoha. Although many ninjas did not understand why they gathered here, as ninjas, they were always on guard and ready to fight at any time as long as the Hokage gave the order.
In the main tent, Naruto, who had fainted in the battle with the Raikage, was lying on the bed, sleeping, while the Third Hokage, Danzo, Jiraya, two advisors, Hyuga Hiashi, Uchiha Tomiaki and others were waiting not far from Naruto for him to wake up.
After checking Naruto's body, the Third Hokage said to everyone, "It seems that he has just exhausted his chakra, and he was injured, so he is exhausted and unconscious. It should be nothing serious. He will wake up soon. Don't worry too much."
Then the Third Hokage looked at Jiraya and asked, "Jiraya, what on earth did Naruto encounter after he arrived in the Hidden Cloud Village? Naruto, who has such a huge amount of chakra and a monstrous vitality, also became exhausted and unconscious. This makes me very confused." "Haha, the old man has to say that my disciple is a monster. Don't look at him being only 5 years old. He is stronger than many people. Compared with my disciple, those guys who are called geniuses are not even worthy of carrying my shoes." Jiraya said proudly.
The third hokage asked in surprise: "Oh, what happened? Please explain it to me clearly."
Jiraya proudly told Naruto everything that happened after he arrived at the Hidden Cloud Village. He fought with the Raikage for the peace between Konoha and Hidden Cloud Village, could perfectly control the Nine-Tails' chakra, opened the three-magatama Sharingan and the Hyuga family's Byakugan, could perfectly combine the bloodline limit with the Nine-Tails' chakra, and had the ability to use the Flying Thunder God that was not inferior to the fourth hokage. Jiraya
proudly said to the third hokage: "Old man, you said that my disciple can promote the peace between the two major ninja villages at such a young age. Isn't it amazing? Hahahaha, it's all because of my good teaching."
Everyone sighed after hearing what Jiraya said. The hokage said with relief: "Haha, Naruto is a good boy, he didn't let us down. He is indeed Minato's child, and he has inherited his father's will very well."
At this time, Utatane Koharu also said to the hokage: "Hiruzen, you are right, this child is indeed the hope for Konoha to stand on the top of the world again. Even if it causes a war, it doesn't matter."
Even Danzo had to admire the hokage's decision was correct.
Just as the general sighed, the arrival of the envoy of the Hidden Cloud Village came from outside the tent. The hokage asked someone to bring the envoy of the Hidden Cloud Village into the tent, and saw a Konoha ninja with two ninjas from the Hidden Cloud Village come in, and the two people who came were Killer Bee and Yukito.
The Konoha ninja came to the hokage and said, "Hokage. The envoy from the Hidden Cloud Village is here."
The hokage looked at Killer Bee and Yukito and said to the Konoha ninja, "You've worked hard. Go down and have a rest."
After the man left, the hokage looked at Killer Bee and Yukito and said, "You two, do you know what the Raikage wants?"
Yukito said to the hokage, "Hokage, the Raikage asked us to come here this time because we, the Hidden Cloud Village people, have done something in Konoha. We, the Hidden Cloud Village, will impose severe punishment on everyone involved in this matter." Yukito
paused and continued, "There is also the matter of the bet between the Raikage and Konoha's Uzumaki Naruto. The Raikage hopes to reach a fair and peaceful treaty with Konoha, which would also be regarded as fulfilling his promise to Uzumaki Naruto. I hope that the Hokage can give an answer so that we can report to him."
Everyone in the big tent was surprised. Although they had just heard Jiraya talk about the bet between Naruto and the Raikage, they didn't expect it to be so soon. But the people present were all powerful people who had seen many storms and soon calmed down.
The hokage said calmly: "Regarding what Kumogakure did in Konoha, since the Raikage wants to deal with it himself, we also believe that the Raikage will handle it impartially. As for reaching a peace agreement, this is what we Konoha has been working hard for. Konoha hopes to coexist peacefully with Kumogakure and help each other."
"We will convey Konoha's sincerity to Lord Raikage. I wonder if we can meet Uzumaki Naruto." Yukito said.
Danzo asked vigilantly: "What do you want to see Uzumaki Naruto?"
Seeing Danzo so vigilant, Yukito quickly explained: "Don't get me wrong, my master and I just want to talk to Uzumaki Naruto. After all, we are both Jinchūriki, I think we will have a lot of common topics, and we just want to get to know each other. There is nothing bad."
Everyone didn't expect that Kumogakure would send a Jinchūriki as an envoy this time. They also knew that Jinchūriki would have a lot of topics to talk about. After thinking it through, everyone let down their guard.
The third hokage replied, "I'm really sorry, Naruto hasn't woken up yet."
Yukito said regretfully, "That can't be helped. We can only wait for the next opportunity. Please tell Uzumaki Naruto on my behalf, Hokage, that he hopes he can come to visit Kumogakure again."
The third hokage replied, "I will." "Then we'll take our leave." Yukito said and left with Kirabi with regret. Kirabi's biggest wish for this time was to become friends with Uzumaki Naruto, but it was a pity that he couldn't meet him.
The people of Konoha stayed here for three days, during which time they reached a non-aggression treaty with Kumogakure.
On the third day, when Naruto woke up, he found the third hokage by his side. As for Danzo, the two advisors, Hiashi and Tomiaki, they got up and returned to Konoha after reaching an agreement with Kumogakure.
After all, there were still many things to deal with in the village. Originally, the third hokage had to go back, but he was afraid that Naruto would be in danger, so he stayed with Jiraya to take care of Naruto.
"Naruto, you finally woke up. Do you feel uncomfortable?" The third hokage asked with concern.
Seeing that the Third Hokage was so concerned about him, Naruto felt warm in his heart. He replied, "I'm fine, Grandpa Third Hokage. Where is this place? Wasn't I fighting the Raikage in the Hidden Cloud Village? How did I get here? Oh, Grandpa Third Hokage, why are you here too?"
Seeing that Naruto didn't notice his presence, Jiraya got angry and said, "Hmph, you still dare to ask? You ran to the Hidden Cloud Village without caring about anything when you got excited. If I hadn't brought you back, do you think you could have walked out of the Hidden Cloud Village safely?"
Only then did Naruto notice Jiraya next to the Third Hokage. Seeing that Naruto only noticed him now, Jiraya became even more angry and was about to lose his temper.
But the hokage said to him, "Okay, okay, the child has just woken up, and you, as a master, don't care about him, but just scold him. Let Naruto have a good rest, and we'll talk later. Come with me, don't disturb Naruto's rest." Then he pulled Jiraya out of the tent. After
another day of rest, Naruto also knew that it was Jiraya who brought him out of the Hidden Cloud Village. At the same time, he also knew that the hokage pulled all the high-end combat forces of the village to him in order to prevent him from getting into trouble. Naruto was so moved that he didn't know how to talk to the hokage and Jiraya.
Originally, Naruto always thought that he was an orphan who no one cared about, but the hokage and Jiraya gave him the love of his family. Naruto had only felt this kind of love from his own parents, but now there are the hokage and Jiraya.
"Why are you stupid? Why can't you speak?" Jiraya said dissatisfiedly.
After Naruto calmed down, he said, "No, I just didn't expect that the Third Hokage would go to
war with the Hidden Cloud Village to save me. I also didn't expect that the lecherous sage would sneak into the Hidden Cloud Village alone to save me. I'm a little touched."
The Third Hokage and Jiraya both felt Naruto's desire to be cared for and loved, and they couldn't help but feel pity for him.
Jiraya asked, "Naruto, do you hate your parents?"
Naruto replied, "It would be a lie to say I don't hate them, but I love them even more. I hate that they can't grow up with me and have a happy family life. I hate that my father is the Hokage, and I hate why my mother is the Jinchūriki.
But I love them too. They have given so much for me. My father and mother gave their lives so that I can be safe when controlling the Nine-Tails. They also let me feel the value of family affection and taught me how to be a
strong
person for the short time we were together. For the peace of this world, and to make more people happy, my parents gave up their own happiness. I remember what my father said to my mother because our whole family is ninjas." Thinking of his parents, Naruto felt lost.
Jiraya came to Naruto and pressed his head.
Encouraged: "Cheer up, Naruto, don't be sad or heartbroken. It is because of sadness that people become stronger. Only by getting out of sadness and defeating sadness can you become stronger and stronger. I believe your parents think so, and they also believe that you will do it."
"Well, I will, don't worry, Lecherous Sage, I am the son of the Fourth Hokage and Uzumaki Kushina, I will not be immersed in sadness." Naruto cheered up and said to Jiraya.
Jiraya said with relief: "This is like my disciple."
After Jiraya finished speaking, he thought for a while, and then said to Naruto gloomily: "By the way, you have been calling me Lecherous Sage . Who told you that? I am Toad Sage Jiraya, not Lecherous Sage, you damn brat."
Jiraya chased Naruto and beat him angrily. Naruto said as he ran, "But my mom said you are very lustful, and you always peek at girls bathing, and you are called a sage, so what else can you be but a lustful sage."
Jiraya heard that it was Kushina who told Naruto and told him all his secrets. He
was angry and said, "I was collecting materials, you know, I was collecting materials for my vast number of book friends, not peeping."
"Mom said that peeping at girls bathing is a pervert, so, the lustful sage Jiraya, um, yes, there is nothing wrong." Jiraya was so angry with Naruto that he was almost out of control.
No matter whether Naruto had just recovered or not, he must beat the shit out of this little brat. Seeing that Jiraya had gone out of control, Naruto threw all the kunai without saying a word and used the Flying Thunder God Technique to escape.
The hokage on the side also came to his senses. Since Naruto revealed that he had seen Minato and Kushina, the hokage fell into worry.
The third hokage was afraid that Naruto would hate Konoha after knowing his life story, but he felt very relieved after hearing the conversation between Naruto and Jiraya. Looking at the master and disciple who were so respectful to each other, the third hokage couldn't help but laugh.
At the same time, he said to Minato in his heart, "Minato, did you see that? Your child has grown up well, and he has inherited your will. He will be the pillar of Konoha in the future."
