"That's well said. I also want an explanation..." Kakashi looked at Naruto.

Mei Terumi was taken aback when she saw this. Why are you looking at him?

"Aren't you their mentor?"

I wish I had never been a mentor in my life. This year's students are just too much trouble; they're always causing problems for no reason.

Kakashi was speechless and simply gave up the stage for Naruto to do his thing.

Naruto bluntly stated his request: "Fight me, but first of all, no ninjutsu."

Mei Terumi's face lit up with a bright smile: "Little one, are you playing a childish ninja game?"

Naruto charged forward, and Mei Terumi opened her mouth and spat out a water ball, which Naruto then spit out an even larger water ball to push back.

Surprised, Mei Terumi became serious and unleashed a giant water dragon bullet, while Naruto unleashed an even larger water dragon bullet to push it back.

Shocked, Mei Terumi unleashed her full power in the Lava Release: Lava Monster Technique, spewing out a wide area of ​​sticky and highly corrosive acid.

Naruto used Wind Release: Great Breakthrough, creating a tornado-like gale that blew the acid back.

They agreed not to use ninjutsu, but the two of them, as if in a fit of pique, only used ninjutsu, exchanging blows back and forth, leaving the nearby forest in a mess.

The others present dared not approach and could only watch from a distance.

"Has it gotten this strong?"

The members of Team 7 had always known that Naruto was strong, but they didn't know just how strong he was until now, when they finally had a direct understanding of it.

Sasuke felt even more pressured, Sakura was already in despair, and Kakashi was both relieved and worried.

"Neither of them... I'm no match for either of them..."

Zabuza felt that his defeat was not unjust, as both Mei Terumi and the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki had demonstrated strength far exceeding his own.

"That brat... he's actually on par with the Mizukage?!"

The Mist Ninja Anbu were utterly shocked; it was just a mere brat.

.........

Ten minutes later, Mei Terumi stopped her attack, slightly out of breath. Looking at the boy opposite her, whose face was neither flushed nor out of breath, she pondered for a moment and said, "Are you the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki of Konoha?"

"perhaps?"

Naruto has given up hope that Konoha can keep secrets.

"What is your purpose?"

"As for the purpose... let me think... Oh right, how about you do me the favor and let Zabuza and Haku get together?"

The ninja world cannot afford to lose these two brave individuals.

Mei Terumi refused, saying that this was an internal matter of Kirigakure and had nothing to do with Konoha.

"Is it really not going to work?"

Naruto's voice turned cold, and Mei Terumi's expression grew even colder; she was never afraid of threats!

Just as the atmosphere was becoming increasingly tense...

The sound of footsteps approached.

"Naruto, haven't you had enough fun yet?"

Lei Yingdian walked over, her long purple hair braided, wearing a purple kimono with gentian flowers patterned on it, and brown flip-flops.

Behind her were three people: Fu Hua with gray hair, blue eyes, and gray clothes; a red-haired girl with glasses; and a white-haired girl.

"If you've had enough fun, come home with me."

Lei said this to Naruto.

—Dazner's Home—

"Dad, what are you doing...?"

When the door opened, the young woman, Tsunami, was startled.

More than a dozen people, dressed in different styles and with distinguished manners, stood outside the door; there were men, women, and children.

Dazner, who was at the front knocking on the door, gave his daughter a "don't mess with them" look, and then instructed, "These adults are honored guests visiting our home, Mizuna. You mustn't neglect them. Quickly bring out the best tea in the house..."

Tsunami nervously went to pour the tea.

Dazna then obsequiously invited everyone to come inside.

"Don't come in, just wait outside."

Mei Terumi gave a word to the Kirigakure Anbu, then followed Naruto and the others into the house.

.........

living room.

The tea poured into the cup, creating wisps of white steam; the atmosphere was quiet yet eerie.

Tsunami poured tea for everyone, bowed, and then quickly pulled her curious son, Inari, away.

Dazna looked left and right, and very tactfully took his leave.

Upon arriving at the next room, they found Ito asking his mother about Naruto and the others' identities.

Tsuna didn't know, so she told her son to ask his grandfather.

Dazna shook his head and said, "Don't ask too many questions about them. We can't afford to offend those people. Just treat them well and don't make them angry."

After a moment of silence, I asked, "Can they defeat Kado?"

In his limited understanding, Kado was the most powerful and evil villain.

"Kado?"

Recalling the forest that vanished completely under the lightning, Dazna's expression became dazed as he murmured, "Perhaps... in their eyes, Kado was nothing more than an insect that could be crushed at any moment..."

.........

Fu Hua on the left, Lei Yingdian on the right, and Naruto sitting in the middle, calmly and leisurely drinking tea.

Kakashi, sitting opposite him, could no longer hold back.

"Naruto, you have to give me an explanation... What's your relationship with them? Who are they? What do you mean by 'going home'? Isn't your home Konoha? Do you want to leave Konoha?!"

Kakashi's anxiety was evident from his four consecutive questions.

How can I not be anxious?

His dear student, Konoha's strategic nuclear weapons are about to be stolen by someone else!

This is something that would shake the very foundation of the nation. If it happens... even if Kakashi dies a thousand times over, it wouldn't be a pity.

Everyone else present turned their attention to Naruto.

Curiosity, doubt, shock, anticipation, sudden realization, schadenfreude...

A myriad of situations arise.

"Kakashi-sensei, I know you're in a hurry, but please don't rush. Let me finish my tea first."

Naruto slowly sipped his tea, put down the cup, and said, "Let's make this clear beforehand: I'll tell you as much as I can, and don't ask me what I can't say, because I won't tell you anyway."

"They are my family... Going home means going home in the literal sense... As for Konoha, it is my place of residence... I am also considering whether I will leave Konoha."

Kakashi's eyes widened. He didn't understand what "family" meant, but he did understand... Naruto really wanted to leave Konoha!

"...I won't allow it! Konoha will never allow it!!"

After making a firm statement, Kakashi then appealed to Naruto's emotions, reminding him to think about his family and friends in Konoha who care about him, and how heartbroken they would be if he left…

Naruto neither agreed nor disagreed, sipping his tea and letting Kakashi say whatever he wanted, but he didn't reply with a single word.

Kakashi's mouth was dry from talking, and seeing that it wasn't having any effect, he felt a little desperate.

Teacher, what should I do?!

After a long silence, Kakashi looked at Raiden and Fu Hua, and said in a deep voice, "Does Inazuma intend to provoke a war with Konoha?"

Fu Hua frowned but did not reply.

Lei Yingdian's face turned cold: "If your Konoha wants to be destroyed... then go ahead and do it!"

The atmosphere was tense and ready to fight.

"Kakashi-sensei, I haven't seen them for quite a while, and I'd like to get together with them alone for a bit."

Naruto stood up, holding one child in each hand. Seeing Kakashi about to stop him, he added, "Don't worry, we'll be back."
