Yūgao reminded Kurenai Yuhi.
She had only recently joined the Anbu.
The task of monitoring Naruto had begun long ago, but Yūgao was certainly not qualified for it yet.
Similarly, she had received no orders regarding the Uchiha Clan massacre last night.
Kurenai Yuhi nodded.
However, her gaze did not waver.
They were truly too similar.
She had just been momentarily dazed, thinking she saw a young Minato.
"Thank you."
Kurenai Yuhi reached out to take the mochi dumplings.
Whoosh—
Suddenly, a figure rushed over.
Immediately after, the mochi dumplings landed in her hand.
"Haha~"
"You two actually started eating without waiting for me! Unacceptable, I must punish you!"
The person who arrived was Anko Mitarashi.
Yūgao helplessly rubbed her forehead, while Kurenai Yuhi didn't mind.
"Honestly, without that bearded chain-smoker and his tailing, the air feels much fresher, and my ears are at peace."
Anko bit into a mochi dumpling, hooking her arms around Kurenai Yuhi's and Yūgao's shoulders, one on each side.
"Come on, come on, the mochi dumplings are delicious at this time~"
"It's rare for you two to have free time~"
Asuma Sarutobi: "..."
So that's what they thought of him.
And... Kurenai didn't seem to contradict it.
A dejected Asuma pulled out another cigarette and started smoking.
"Yo~ Kakashi~ My eternal rival~!"
The commotion from a distance made Naruto, who was almost leaving the street, stop.
Kakashi?
Kakashi Hatake, one of Minato Namikaze's disciples.
He earned the title 'Copy Ninja' during the Third Great Ninja War.
After the Nine-Tails Rampage, he had been in the Anbu.
He was still in the Anbu now.
Naruto looked back.
He saw a man with a green jumpsuit and a bowl cut, loudly bickering and pulling at another person.
That person had silver-white hair.
Only one eye was visible on his entire face.
A mask covered the rest.
Right eye?!
Naruto's pupils constricted slightly.
That's right, this person was Kakashi Hatake, Minato Namikaze's disciple!
'His left eye... I only need to verify his left eye!'
Whoosh—
Naruto took a deep breath.
He quickly lifted his legs and left.
'Now is not the time.'
'People leave, and their influence wanes. Don't try anything you can't guarantee.'
'Since he is an Anbu Ninja... and was an Anbu Ninja who protected my mother throughout her pregnancy.'
'Even if he hasn't seen me, being in the Anbu and given his strength, his status must be quite high, so he certainly can't be unaware of my existence.'
'But until now, I haven't seen him once, so there must be a problem...'
'Of course, it's not impossible that he was warned, after all, the Old Thing seems to want to make me his property.'
As for the one accompanying Kakashi.
Naruto searched through the historical documents he had read; it should be Might Guy, the son of Might Duy, who broke up the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Hidden Mist Village.
Mei Terumī: "..."
The former Seven Ninja Swordsmen: "..."
Konoha Genin... unfathomable strength!
Never provoke a Konoha Genin!
Zabuza Momochi, in the Pure Land World, also believed this.
Konoha Genin truly had something special.
This was their foundation, something other Ninja Villages could hardly match.
After Naruto left.
Kakashi helplessly pushed away Might Guy, who kept shouting about youth.
He sensed something and looked back.
That spot was precisely where Naruto had just been standing.
Kakashi felt something was off, but he couldn't quite pinpoint it.
Would Naruto blame Kakashi?
The answer was no.
After thoroughly reading historical documents, he could understand Kakashi.
First, his father died before his eyes, and then he watched his teammates die, with the last one even dying by his own hand.
Such experiences are truly hard for an ordinary person to bear.
Therefore, Naruto did not blame Kakashi.
However, his current situation was not good, and one must always be wary of others, especially when the other party is an Anbu Ninja, right?
Better safe than sorry; caution is a good thing, and besides, the eye is with Kakashi, so he can confirm it in the future.
Naruto paid more attention to Might Guy, though.
'I almost thought he was Rock Lee's father just now.'
'They both seem to like being on this street... Perhaps I can have Rock Lee come here and try his luck.'
'They both practice Taijutsu and look so similar; maybe Might Guy will take a liking to him and accept him as a disciple.'
'Then... the Eight Gates would be within reach, and everyone could try to cultivate it.'
Tenten: "Yes, I've always thought so too."
Tenten: "Teacher Guy, are you and Rock Lee... truly not related at all?"
Teacher Guy: "Of course we are! We're the most compatible master and disciple!"
Rock Lee: "Might Guy~!"
Might Guy: "Lee~!"
Tenten: "..."
Neji: "..."
A pointless question.
Before long.
Naruto arrived outside the Uchiha Clan Compound.
From a distance, he saw two Ninja guarding the main gate.
They appeared to be members of the new Konoha Military Police Force.
Which meant they were from the Sarutobi Clan.
'They're really playing their cards well.'
Naruto took a deep breath.
He walked towards the location where he had arrived last night.
Soon, his sensory perception detected the three-pronged kunai he had left last night.
That was left when he first came to the Uchiha Clan Compound with Izumi.
He hadn't expected it to come in handy so quickly.
He found a relatively hidden spot.
Buzz—
The next instant, Naruto vanished from his original position.
He entered the Uchiha Clan Compound.
And without a sound, without attracting the attention of the other Konoha Military Police Force members.
After entering the Uchiha Clan Compound, Naruto followed his memory and headed towards Patriarch Fugaku's home.
He did not relax his guard.
Naruto paid attention to his surroundings.
He only continued forward after confirming that there were no problems each time.
In this manner, half an hour later.
He thoroughly confirmed that there were no Anbu Ninja or Root Ninja within the Uchiha Clan Compound.
"It seems they've all divided up the spoils; otherwise, it wouldn't be like this, with only a few people making a show of guarding the perimeter."
He arrived at the location where the large number of scrolls had been hidden last night.
Indeed.
Uchiha Itachi had not discovered them.
Or rather, he had discovered them but had not bothered with them.
And this, in turn, benefited Naruto.
In reality, even if Naruto hadn't come to pick up the leftovers, these items probably wouldn't have gone to Sasuke.
Those Old Men would likely use some common Uchiha Ninjutsu scrolls as a pretense.
And then give Sasuke a somewhat substantial sum of money.
But compared to the entire Uchiha Clan's wealth, it was clearly a drop in the ocean.
Why did he think this?
Because Naruto still only received three thousand ryo a month.
As for Minato Namikaze and Uzumaki Kushina's inheritance... don't even think about it.
