An explosion occurred in Sunagakure Village, and a small earthen house was blown to pieces.
Ni Yumumen rushed out of the smoke. First, he observed the surroundings, then quickly fled.
Gaara, Sasuke, and Naruto rushed out one after another.
Despite the unexpected incident, Gaara's voice remained calm.
"Naruto, figure out what's going on."
"This..." Naruto found it difficult to figure out.
While following the Raikage's orders to convey the determination of the meeting of the Four Kage to Sunagakure Village, Ni Yumumen was constantly harassed by Konoha ninjas on the way.
After arriving at Sunagakure Village, he unexpectedly saw the Kazekage, Gaara, chatting and laughing with the Konoha ninjas.
In the end, Ni Yumumen thought that Sunagakure Village and Konoha Village were colluding with each other.
Ni Yumumen had no choice but to release a smoke bomb and force his way out.
Naruto knew about these things. Thinking it was too troublesome to explain, he simply said, "Who knows? Maybe the people in Kumogakure Village are all crazy... probably."
Gaara sighed. Gaara still trusted Naruto very much, so he didn't believe what Ni Yumumen said at all.
Gaara would believe Naruto even if he didn't believe Konoha. As long as Naruto was around, Gaara wasn't worried at all that Konoha would do anything malicious to Sunagakure Village.
"Naruto, I have a request. Can you promise me?" Gaara became a bit hesitant.
Naruto showed an expression as if he had eaten a fly.
"Are you kidding me? Don't tell me you've fallen for me!"
"What the hell are you talking about?" Gaara instantly accused Naruto of acting inappropriately.
Gaara quickly explained, "Some time ago, I joined your plan to deceive Roshi and helped you play a part."
"I saw the shrunk Shukaku... Can I have a one-on-one with it?"
"Sure." Naruto thought to himself, "Could Gaara be having second thoughts? Does he want to take back the One-Tailed Beast?"
"Okay." Although Naruto was reluctant, he still pretended to be generous and called out the One-Tailed Shukaku inside his body.
The One-Tailed Shukaku emerged from Naruto's body. It was very small, probably less than half a meter tall.
"I was sleeping. Why did you wake me up!" Shukaku was very angry, and its appearance was quite cute.
Gaara was stunned. It was the first time he had met Shukaku under such circumstances.
Previously, Shukaku had always been sealed inside Gaara's body. Gaara hated Shukaku and couldn't even sleep peacefully because of guarding against it.
Now that he had lost Shukaku, he found that Shukaku wasn't actually that hateful.
"One-Tailed, are you really the Shukaku that was inside me before?" Gaara voiced his doubt.
"What?" The One-Tailed Shukaku turned its chubby body and looked up at Gaara.
"So it's the little brat who used to seal me." Shukaku looked disdainful: "Now that I'm not in your body, can you finally sleep soundly, brat?"
"Why did you always oppose me when you were in my body, but get along peacefully with Naruto when you're in his body?"
"What's there to ask? I was forcibly sealed in. You're the same, brat. Those people sealed me in your body without your consent. How did you feel?"
Gaara was stunned. He didn't expect the answer to be so simple.
Naruto showed a bright smile and patted Gaara on the shoulder.
"Actually, the Tailed Beasts don't hate humans. We just need to learn how to get along with them."
Seizing the opportunity, Naruto quickly stepped forward and pretended to be a life coach, trying to console Gaara instead.
Gaara was greatly shocked and this time he was completely convinced by Naruto.
"I used to complain about everything and was addicted to killing. I hated this world... Thank you, Naruto. You helped me find myself again."
Gaara was very glad to make a friend like Naruto.
"I still have something urgent to handle. When I take office as the Hokage, I'll invite you to my wedding banquet." Naruto hugged Shukaku and fled quickly.
Naruto was afraid that Gaara would change his mind and take back the One - Tailed Shukaku.
He immediately used the Flying Thunder God Technique[b]Flying Thunder God Technique[/b] to teleport himself and Sasuke away.
Gaara watched Naruto disappear and sincerely blessed him in his heart: Naruto, though I don't know what you're busy with, come on! I believe you can definitely change the world.
...
In the Land of Water, in Kiri.
Zabuza Momochi inserted a three - pronged Kunai into the ground.
"I've set up the teleportation mark. Naruto can come here at any time."
Zabuza Momochi piled up some stones to make a barrier to cover the three - pronged Kunai, preventing it from being discovered by others.
"After so many years, I never thought I'd end up back here."
Zabuza Momochi stared at the fog ahead. The fog that never dispersed all year round was just like his heart, with the past always engraved on him.
Zabuza Momochi grew up in Kiri. He became a ninja by killing all his peers. Here he took up the Cleaver Sword and devoted himself to the village.
Eventually, he became a Rogue Ninja. His body was full of the marks of Kiri, and he could never forget his hometown in his heart.
Haku stood by, looking a bit excited.
He thought to himself: Is this Mr. Zabuza's hometown? Since I'm here, I have to take a good look around.
"Don't underestimate this place, Haku." Zabuza Momochi reminded. "If you're not careful, you might lose your life."
"With me here, you can do whatever you want boldly!" Naruto suddenly appeared.
Wherever Naruto went, he always took Hinata with him, and his hand never left Hinata's waist.
"Hehe..." Zabuza Momochi showed a long - lost smile.
"Naruto, what's your plan? What exactly do you want to do in Kiri?"
"Help my teacher Kakashi find a beautiful wife!"
Naruto flashed a sly smile.
Then he lifted Hinata's chin and carefully admired her beauty.
"There's no other woman in the world more beautiful than you."
After saying that, Naruto kissed her.
Haku blushed when he saw this.
"Your bad habit is getting worse. You didn't have this habit before." Zabuza Momochi couldn't help but scold Naruto.
"You two don't understand. You're both big guys, but you don't know what the most wonderful thing in the world is."
At this time, Haku, wearing women's clothes, shyly lowered his head.
Zabuza Momochi stole a furtive glance at Haku and then turned his face away awkwardly.
Naruto was even more fed up with these two guys. These two guys were being very intimate but also extremely innocent. What on earth were you two up to?
"Let's enter Kiri," Naruto commanded.
Led by Zabuza Momochi, they easily got across the area full of booby traps.
Just then, the fog became denser and denser, until it was pitch - black.
Zabuza Momochi warned, "Stick close to me. It'll be a huge headache if anyone gets lost here."
Naruto said, "What're you scared of? As long as we hug each other, we won't get separated." Then he spread his arms, putting his left arm around Hinata and his right arm around Haku.
