When Yuuki arrived at Naruto's location, naturally no one dared to step forward to stop him.
To avoid being disturbed later, Yuuki had brought many people with him this time, and they were currently staring at the Anbu Ninja.
In a place Naruto didn't know about.
Gengetsu said to the Anbu squad leaders in front of him, "The Department Head needs to see the Jinchuriki. You can report to the Hokage, but do not disturb him. Otherwise, the Military Police Force will not stand idly by. Do you understand, Anbu Ninja?"
The Anbu leader naturally recognized Gengetsu, as he had become one of the Military Police Force's captains as soon as Yuuki took office, and was now considered a prominent figure in Konoha.
This Anbu nodded without saying anything, simply reporting the matter immediately to Hiruzen Sarutobi.
There was no malice, just a matter of work.
As for suspecting Yuuki wanted to use the Jinchuriki to harm Konoha? Absolutely not!
After all, every Konoha person now knew that Konoha currently relied entirely on Lord Yuuki for protection!
Hiruzen Sarutobi remained unmoved after receiving the news. What could he do? Besides watching, he had no other options!
As for getting involved?
Didn't his face hurt enough from last time?
While Yuuki stood behind Naruto, Naruto was still training diligently.
Originally, this was a good thing.
However, looking at the content of Naruto's training, Yuuki felt quite speechless. What a travesty!
Recalling Harutenjo, who was also tirelessly training in the clan territory, Yuuki felt that his actions back then were a huge mistake!
He began to deeply worry about the future of the Ninja World.
"Cough~ha!"
Yuuki lightly coughed, catching Naruto's attention.
Naruto stopped his movements and turned around, his eyes immediately lighting up when he saw Yuuki.
"Brother Yuuki!"
In front of someone he was close to, he instinctively raised his hand to pat his head, while also showing that goofy smile.
However, before he could finish, Naruto reacted, quickly retracting his hand, and his smile began to mimic Yuuki's usual expression.
Noticing the undisguised happiness in Naruto's eyes, and that fake, put-on smile on his face.
Yuuki exclaimed inwardly, "Who the hell taught Naruto this stuff?!"
This must be Erzhuzi's 'acting jutsu'! Definitely!
A smile instinctively appeared on Yuuki's face, and his tone was very gentle as he spoke.
"Naruto, although I don't know who you learned it from, you don't need to hide your happiness when you're happy, otherwise your smile will look even worse than crying!"
Naruto's expression froze at his words.
"I tried so hard to imitate it! Everyone else likes it too, and Brother Yuuki's smile makes people feel so comfortable, it must be that my training isn't enough!"
A somewhat embarrassed Naruto could no longer maintain his composure.
"Uh, haha, is that so?"
Naruto's right hand began to scratch the back of his head, trying to hide his embarrassment!
Looking at Naruto, who was exactly as he remembered, Yuuki nodded in satisfaction, his smile widening.
That's more like it! He certainly looks much more pleasing to the eye!
Looking at Naruto's new clothes, if he remembered correctly, they should be a limited edition. Also, in a few months, his height had increased significantly, finally catching up to Sasuke and Natsuri's height.
And Naruto's appearance, which was noticeably higher than when he first saw him, made Yuuki feel that it wouldn't be bad if Naruto really became an idol in the future.
As long as he doesn't forget to save the world!
Unconsciously, he had also changed many things. Hmm, this is the benefit of becoming a big shot!
Recalling his thoughts, Yuuki smiled and spoke.
"Naruto, you must have heard some strange rumors recently, right?"
After Yuuki spoke, Naruto's embarrassed expression disappeared, and his face became somewhat somber.
Naruto once again became as sensitive as he was when Yuuki first met him.
"Brother Yuuki, don't worry, I have many companions now, and I won't be affected by rumors."
In the past, Naruto was very lonely, trying to grasp onto anything that could alleviate some of the pain in his heart.
However, since entering the Ninja Academy, he met Natsuri, he met Sasuke, and the kind Yuuki and Shisui who didn't dislike him, then that white-haired uncle who always brought him gifts, and Brother Utakata whom he had just met not long ago.
And his classmates who were gradually starting to no longer ostracize Naruto, Naruto felt that everything now was wonderful, a beauty he could never have imagined before.
Naruto only wanted to preserve these wonderful days.
As for his parents, Naruto no longer pursued the matter, because Naruto was afraid of knowing the truth. What if the truth was that he really was the Nine-Tailed Fox?
Then everything he currently possessed, would it disappear overnight?
Before seeing the light, people can endure darkness!
The old Naruto could endure it alone because he had never experienced warmth, but after having all of this, Naruto could no longer return to his former days.
Regarding the rumors, when Naruto first heard them, he was excited!
Naruto fantasized that his father was a hero like the Fourth Hokage, which should be a very good thing!
But after the excitement, Naruto no longer harbored such fantasies. Even if it were true, what then? His father was no longer here!
A truth from the past, and the beauty he currently possessed, Naruto naturally made his choice.
Cherish everything you have now!
It's more important than anything!
After the initial few days of excitement, Naruto gradually stopped paying attention to those rumors.
From Naruto's expression and answers, Yuuki got his answer.
Yuuki was not a fool; by combining various pieces of information, he could roughly guess Naruto's true thoughts.
People don't need the truth, because the truth isn't as friendly as people imagine!
But how could Yuuki give up so easily?
Naruto, the Chakra flickering with five-colored light on your body means you cannot live as ignorantly and happily as ordinary people!
Yuuki, who always prided himself on being righteous, knew that his upcoming actions were not much different from Hiruzen Sarutobi's.
However, Yuuki still decided to reveal the truth!
Forgive me, Naruto!
Yuuki still wore a smile on his face as he slowly spoke.
"Naruto, do you still remember when I told you to find out the truth about your parents yourself?"
Naruto was a bit puzzled why Yuuki would bring this up, but Naruto followed his heart and answered Yuuki's question.
"I remember, Brother Yuuki, but now I don't want to know as much as I did then!"
Yuuki nodded, then said.
"But now it seems, Naruto, you seem to have found clues about your father."
With such an obvious hint, how could Naruto not understand? After all, whether it was in the original work or the Naruto Yuuki knew now, he had always been very smart.
Occasionally being foolish was only for some unimportant matters; for things he cared about, Naruto would display wisdom far exceeding that of ordinary people.
Naruto asked somewhat stammering.
"Brother Yuuki, the… the rumors… are… are they true?"
Yuuki nodded, delivering the fatal blow with a smile on his face!
"It's true, Naruto, it's all true, about your father, about the Nine-Tailed Fox!"
