Naruto: Two opponents versus Naruto, Konoha panics!

Tobirama Senju: "A very wise choice."

Orochimaru: "As expected, Naruto with black frames has never disappointed."

Orochimaru: "Infinite Tsukuyomi?"

Orochimaru: "Collecting the Tailed Beasts... So it seems that the Akatsuki organization was also Madara Uchiha's doing... If Naruto with black frames knew about the existence of the Akatsuki and its purpose, he would definitely be able to guess it."

Orochimaru: "The Rinnegan... The leader of Akatsuki does indeed possess the legendary Sage's Eye."

Orochimaru: "If I remember correctly, his name is Yahiko."

Yahiko?

Jiraiya was startled.

When Orochimaru mentioned the Akatsuki organization and the Rinnegan, he already realized something was wrong.

Unexpectedly, Orochimaru directly revealed the cause and effect in the next second.

This is tantamount to telling him that the Akatsuki was founded by the three disciples he taught, and that these three disciples were Madara Uchiha's hidden hand.

In his years of searching for the Child of Prophecy, Jiraiya naturally came into contact with information about the Akatsuki organization.

The target was indeed a tailed beast.

But unexpectedly, Madara Uchiha actually...

It's truly a case of a centipede dying but not falling apart.

Nagato: "Hmph, Orochimaru, shut your mouth."

Orochimaru: "Hehehe, it's nothing, it's just been leaked ahead of time. Naruto-kun with the black frame will find out soon enough."

At the border of the Land of Rain, Konan remained silent, simply continuing forward.

As for Infinite Tsukuyomi.

Xiao Nan wasn't interested.

The world of illusion is ultimately just illusion; illusion is illusion, and what is fake is fake.

"Let's go."

【"Hmm~"】

Once home, Izumi didn't linger for long.

I didn't bring much.

[A few storage reels are sufficient.]

"Front or back?"

Naruto said with a half-smile.

Quan gave him a reproachful look.

Although I really want to appear positive, I still need to maintain a ladylike image.

[He leaped upwards.]

Naruto casually rested his hands on Izumi's plump, round thighs.

[Izumi's wife wrapped her arms around Naruto's neck, her chin resting lightly on his shoulder.]

"This departure... I'm afraid I won't be back anytime soon." Quan glanced back at his home.

"It won't be long," Naruto said softly, offering reassurance.

[Whoosh—]

The two vanished from their spot in the next instant.

Under the moonlight, Naruto carried Izumi's wife on his back and sped towards the edge of the village.

The commotion was very subtle and did not alert anyone.

The chosen routes were mostly for ordinary people.

"Hmm..." Izumi nodded gently, but was still somewhat uneasy.

What are you worried about?

[It's possible she was worried that Naruto wouldn't be used to sleeping alone at night while she was away, and that no one would make him breakfast in the morning.]

Of course, it's also possible that they're worried the older girl downstairs might take the opportunity to break into their home.

Maoyue Xiyan: "..."

She was keeping her two best friends at arm's length.

As a result, I ended up being the one being guarded against.

but......

Xi Yan glanced at the audience seats above the arena.

Ino's little mouth was so pouty it could hang a fish.

Immediately, Xi Yan felt a little better.

To be honest, Ino was the first one.

She was on guard against her best friend, but Hinata almost stole her house.

Hinata then rose to prominence.

There's nothing I can do... I can only continue to be wary of my best friend.

And there's an extra "every day".

Then... their home was raided again.

Uchiha Izumi was more direct; she confirmed his identity as soon as he arrived.

Not long after, they raided their own base again...

it's good now.

Even her two best friends stole her house.

Ino was the one who shouted the loudest, yet she also ate the least.

So pitiful~

Thinking this, Xi Yan's lips involuntarily curled up.

The benefits of having a large chakra reserve are becoming apparent.

[Uninterrupted dodging technique.]

[Extremely fast.]

[Izumi's wife gasped in surprise from behind.]

Under the moonlight, Quan cheered excitedly.

Naruto's lips curled slightly.

[I really should have taken it out to get some fresh air a long time ago.]

[I've been suppressing it for too long.]

Inside the sealed space, the giant fox curled its lip.

Where is this fox?

This fox also wants to go out for some fresh air!

[That wretched brat, having a blast playing outside while the fox has to dutifully study Ninjutsu and the Four Symbols Sealing Technique, huh?]

【...】

[On the sea. 】

Naruto's speed remained unchanged.

A large amount of chakra flowed into both feet.

[His feet moved with the speed of the wind, leaving behind wisps of lightning in his wake.]

[Izumi's wife was very excited throughout.]

[He was confined for several years, unable to move or see.]

To be honest, without Naruto's constant communication with him...

This is absolutely the most severe form of torture.

[After all, she is still conscious.]

Along the way, Naruto tried many things.

[With a lot of chakra, Naruto will patiently try every experiment, as long as it's not too dangerous.]

The harvest was plentiful.

There's no rush.

But they still arrived in the Land of Waves the following day.

[Without considering chakra consumption, the speed is really fast.]

[It took less than an hour to travel from the Land of Fire to the Land of Waves.]

【Om—】

[Inside Kado's castle.]

Naruto and Izumi appeared there.

[Arrived at destination.]

[The shadow clone had already come once before.]

[Across from the two, Zabuza and Haku were busy working, their heads down.]

[Being pale is still considered normal.]

But, Zabuza...

[He kept scratching his head and cheeks, unable to put his pen to paper.]

Clearly, this kind of work isn't suitable for him.

【"Naruto is big..."】

[I realized I was being watched.]

Bai immediately looked up.

[Naruto appeared in the makeshift office at some point.]

Bai was about to greet him.

But then they saw that there was someone else behind Naruto.

"Is this the Izumi-sama that Naruto-sama mentioned before?"

Bai blinked.

His gaze lingered on the Uchiha clan crest for a moment.

[I'm hesitating, should I use a different honorific?]

[The Lord and His Wife.]

"Kid, I'm really not cut out for this. I'm much better at killing." Zabuza shrugged and gave up.

Leaning back, he also noticed Uchiha Izumi getting off Naruto's back.

[This should be Uchiha Izumi, who was mentioned before as coming to take over this place.]

[“I didn’t expect there to be another survivor among the Uchiha clan besides that brat.”]

Zabuza narrowed his eyes slightly.

[Watching Uchiha Izumi, encouraged by Naruto's gaze, walk over and take the seat of honor.]

Zabuza instinctively felt that this person, who looked gentle and weak, was not someone to be trifled with.

[The level of danger is comparable to Kakashi's.]

"You're Bai?" Quan took a deep breath.

She didn't want to be a burden.

After adjusting her mood, Quan tried to figure out how to be a good and supportive wife.

【"Yes."】

Bai respectfully responded and then handed over the prepared handover documents.

Naruto sat to the side, watching for a long time.

Finally, I felt relieved.

Although Quan's wife was still a bit inexperienced in handling matters, she was quite organized and efficient.

He doesn't need to worry.

[Leaving behind two shadow clones, he silently withdrew.]

[With Bai Zhuan helping out from within, and Zabuza serving as a 'knife' from without.]

[Aside from special circumstances, there shouldn't be any problems.]

[Leaving Kado... no, I'm in my castle in the Land of Waves.]

[Back at Tazna's house.]

On the rooftop, Naruto's figure appeared like a ghost.

However, to Naruto's surprise, Sasuke was still awake and practicing Fire Release techniques nearby.

[I glanced at it... Fire Release: Small Flame Technique.]

He shook his head. After a day's travel, even if he wasn't physically tired, he was mentally exhausted.

But just then, Sasuke's voice came through.

【Naruto!】
