In Konoha, Naruto lies down

"No matter how hard I try, it's impossible to replace my eyes. I don't really want the power of the Rinnegan. If it doesn't work, just destroy it." Naruto said.

Kakashi: “….”

Xiaonan: “…”

The conversation ended immediately. Naruto was unilaterally unwilling to accept it, and Konan couldn't force Naruto to change his eyes. The matter was put on hold for the time being, but Konan didn't leave.

She still held a glimmer of hope in her heart, so she simply stayed in Konoha.

Naruto originally thought that Konan was here to announce a death, but he discovered that she was also carrying a fragment of Nagato and a pair of Samsara eyes. Strictly speaking, these eyes belonged to Uchiha Madara.

But no matter who it belongs to, he just wants to hear the news and doesn't want to replace the original parts.

The next day.

"Don't follow me, I really don't want to change." Naruto looked at Xiaonan behind him helplessly, "I'm serious, I swear to God."

"Yeah, I know." Xiaonan said.

"You knew that but still followed me?" Naruto felt helpless and turned to look at Konan.

He had wanted to go out yesterday, but when he thought of Xiaonan in the village, he suddenly lost the desire to go out. He just ate instant noodles at home all day, and who knew he would be caught again the next day.

"The power of the Rinnegan is too strong. Only you can control it." Konan remained expressionless, then added, "This is also Nagato's opinion. He hopes you can accept this power."

"I can't control it. Can I find someone else?" Naruto said sincerely.

He really didn't expect that Nagato would even give him some skin fragments. The Samsara Eye was indeed a good thing, but it was also a hot potato.

Uchiha Madara's old thing, once Nagato died, everyone was eyeing it. Damn... whoever took it would have no peace of mind, not to mention it's not a USB plug-and-play device.

If he could experience it, Naruto wouldn't refuse.

"No, Nagato said..." Konan said with a cold expression, shook her head, and said with a firm look, "It can only be you, Uzumaki Naruto."

send!

"I really don't know what you guys are thinking. I don't want it, is that okay?" Naruto was a little speechless. "Who wants to change their eyes? No need to say more."

"But......."

Naruto lost his patience and left immediately with a wave of his hand. There was no room for negotiation here. It didn't matter who he gave the eye to, just not himself.

He had no shortage of this power, and besides, Obito was definitely searching the world for these eyes. Taking them at this moment, no matter what his purpose was, would be like trying to grab chestnuts from the fire.

The best way is to ignore it, because the eyes will eventually return to their original owner. If Uchiha Obito doesn't get the Samsara Eye, he doesn't know how to take revenge on Obito.

Xiaonan silently watched Naruto's back as he left in anger. She stood there for a while and couldn't help but sigh softly. If that's the case, then so be it.

In the afternoon, Konan left Konoha Village.

Towards evening, Uzuki Yugao told Naruto the news in his living room. Naruto didn't react at all and just shrugged.

"You don't seem to care about the whereabouts of the Rinnegan at all?" This time, Mao Yue Xi Yan did not leave immediately, but sat down on the sofa.

"Well, the greater the power, the more problems there are." Naruto lay down on the sofa beside him and looked up at the white ceiling. "I am not short of power. One more is not too much, and one less is not too little."

"Sometimes when I hear you say this, I always feel like you are showing off." Mao Yue Xi Yan's expression was a little complicated.

"Huh?" Naruto yawned. "I didn't mean that. You know me. I don't like trouble. It's just that I have no choice but to get into trouble every time."

"So I subconsciously stay away from trouble and don't let myself get bogged down. For example, now that my Samsara Eye is very strong, it's easy for me to become a target."

"There are too many people who want those eyes. If I don't worry about thieves stealing them, I'm afraid of thieves thinking about them. I can't live in fear all my life and become the village's Rinnegan Jinchuriki?"

"Rinnegan Jinchuriki? That's quite interesting." She smiled.

"The Nine-Tails is very powerful. When have you ever seen me being greedy?" Naruto rolled his eyes. "If possible, I really hope that I have nothing to do with the Nine-Tails."

"That's true. Most of the troubles you've encountered are related to the Nine-Tailed Fox." Uzuki Yugao nodded and said, "In fact, the moment I learned about the Rinnegan, I wanted to obtain those eyes."

"Revenge?" He glanced at Mao Yue Xi Yan.

"Not really. It's just an obsession in my heart." She looked up and sighed, "Time has really diluted a lot of things. I can hardly remember his face anymore."

"Hayate probably wouldn't have thought that after his death, Sunagakure and Konoha would form an alliance. In fact, few people remember him, and no one thinks his death was unfair."

"Others may forget, but I cannot. Not many people remember him anymore. If I had kept silent, there would have been no need to fight for it in the first place, let alone sit in this position."

"Although I couldn't really say what I was fighting for at the time, I simply used work to numb myself. Only looking back did I realize that the hatred had disappeared, but the obsession remained."

"Have you known each other since childhood?" Naruto suddenly asked.

"Hmm." She nodded.

"So we're childhood sweethearts?"

"I guess so. We've been almost inseparable since we were little," Mao Yue Xi Yan recalled. "We're so familiar with each other, it's impossible to let go."

"The village couldn't give him fairness, but I won't blame the village. This is our own choice. This is what a ninja should do. Even if you die in obscurity, you must continue to practice your ninja way."

"But?" he asked.

"But I want to give Hayate fairness, in my own way." said Mao Yue Xi Yan.

"You can't give it to me." Naruto said softly, looking at the ceiling.

"Give it to me!"

"I can't give it to you." He said impatiently.

"Give it to me!" Mao Yue Xi Yan was still stubborn, with a hint of struggle in the depths of her eyes. "I just want an explanation. He can't die in such an unclear way."

"Isn't this the village's fault?" Naruto sat up from the sofa. "You refuse to blame the village, but you want to kill Maki. Isn't that a contradiction?"

"I can kill him alone!" Mao Yue Xi Yan said calmly.

"Hmm?" Naruto asked, spreading his hands and looking at her in astonishment. "Are you kidding me? Sneaking into the Sand Village you're not familiar with?"

"Kill the Kazekage's teacher without alerting the Kazekage?"

"Then what do you think I should do?" Mao Yue Xi Yan turned her head to look at him, pursed her lips, her face a little pale, "What can I do?"

Hearing this, Naruto frowned, thought for a moment, and then said seriously.

"If I were you, I would say it's all the fault of the Sandaime Hokage. It's a pity that the Sandaime has died for the village. So, I will lie dormant and improve my strength."

"Wait for the right opportunity and kill with one strike."

"The right opportunity?" Uzuki Yugao looked at Naruto with a smile on her face, but her eyes were full of bitterness. "Are you comforting me?"

"No." He shook his head, staring into the eyes of Uzuki Yugao who was sitting on the sofa opposite him, and asked in a deep voice, "Haven't you noticed yet?"

"What?" She was slightly stunned.

"It's the calm before the storm. When will something like the Rinnegan appear in front of you as frequently as it does now, like a cucumber?" Naruto grinned.

"Possessing the Rinnegan can almost overturn the entire ninja world. The danger is no less than any ninja war. What makes you think that the future will always be stable?"

"This..." Mao Yue Xi Yan's pupils dilated slightly, and she reacted instantly.

When powerful weapons emerge, troubled times begin.

History will only repeat itself. The ninja world can fight over the tailed beasts, and naturally they will also be restless for a pair of eyes that can subvert the ninja world.

The chaotic times are not far away, and Maki, the senior ninja of the Sand Village, will not stay in the village forever.

After thinking it all through, Uzuki Yugao couldn't help but take a deep breath. Then she looked at Naruto, stood up and bowed solemnly.

"Thank you, Naruto."

"Yeah." He nodded and accepted it calmly.

Soon, Uzuki Yugao left. Naruto lay back on the sofa, looking at the gradually darkening sky, and couldn't help grinning.

He was also waiting, waiting for the wind to come.

The Nine-Tailed Fox peeked in from the balcony and didn't notice Naruto at first. When it looked up, it saw Naruto giving it a strange smile and couldn't help but shrink its neck.

"Why are you...looking at me?" The Nine-Tailed Fox felt that Naruto was a little weird, and the way he looked at it had some...indescribable maliciousness.

"Nothing, go to bed early." Naruto said with a smile.

Hearing this, the Nine-Tailed Fox was instantly terrified. This was too damn strange. It would rather Naruto mocked it, but this sudden tenderness made it nervous.

"If you have anything to say, just tell me directly. Don't do this. I'm scared."

"It's okay, there might be a time when I'll bother you in the future." He stood up and glanced at Kyuubi, still with that unpredictable smile on his face.

"Uh..." Kyuubi was a little confused.

It was just a tailed beast, and had spent most of its life in prison. So it didn't understand that there was no such thing as a free meal, and that all the gifts of fate had a price tag already hidden.

At night, Naruto didn't feel very sleepy after two days of sleep. He decided to go out while he was in a good mood. It would be inconvenient to look for Ino or Hinata at night, so...

"What are you talking about, Samsara Eye?" Hongdou was sprawled on the sofa, wearing thin black pajamas, looking at him lazily. "How can you casually reveal such confidential information?"

"Are you going to betray the village?" Naruto said indifferently while drinking juice and biting the straw.

He glanced at her sideways, as if to say, "You don't want others to know that you're betraying the village?" Hongdou immediately shook her head and denied it.

"never thought about."

"That's it. If you don't betray the village, it won't be considered a leak of information." He said somewhat shamelessly, "Besides, you are a teacher at a ninja school, and you don't get involved in those things."

"Did you say that to me on purpose? To show off?" Hongdou was stunned, and looked at Naruto with a look of disdain, "I thought you were so open-minded."

Naruto remained noncommittal. There was absolutely no risk in saying this to Anko. Whether it was pretentious or bragging, the important thing was that it felt good.

"What's wrong?" He glanced at Hongdou nonchalantly and said proudly, "I've done so many tasks for the village, can't I enjoy myself?"

"You have a really bad character. You don't do anything serious all day long."

"Huh? Aren't you the same?" He retorted, "I really feel sorry for the students of the ninja school. It's so embarrassing to meet a middle school teacher like you."

"You are the middle school student!" Hongdou blushed.

"Isn't it? That year's Chunin Exam..." Naruto turned his head and opened his mouth to tell all of Hongdou's middle school stories. Hongdou became anxious.

"Shut up!" She rushed over and covered Naruto's mouth with her hand.

Her face was hidden by her messy black hair, but the soft curve of her chest could be clearly seen through her pajamas, and her slender waist was faintly visible through the black silk.

"Huh? Can't face reality?"

"Stop talking! Damn it! If I had known this, I should have punched you to death."

"You couldn't beat me six years ago, you trash Jonin." Naruto grinned, and soon faced even more intense retaliation, with punches and kicks.

"Student, your attitude towards the teacher is very bad." Hongdou pressed Naruto under her body and untied a black rubber band from her wrist.

After speaking a little breathlessly, he took the rubber band in his mouth and bit it with his teeth. He deftly tied up the scattered hair at the back of his head and spoke incoherently.

"After class...stay and receive strict private tutoring!"

Late in the night, Hongdou finished her cram school and dragged her exhausted body barefoot onto the floor. She took out two cans of iced drinks from the refrigerator at home and put together some quick food platters.

"Here." Hongdou sat cross-legged on the bed, wiped the sweat from her face, and handed a can of soda to Naruto.

The latter took it and calmly opened it in sync with her. With a puff, they both raised it almost simultaneously, took a sip, and put it down again.

"Ah! Refreshing!" Hongdou said, "It's really nice to drink a bottle of iced drink at a time like this."

"Yeah." Naruto narrowed his eyes, looking relaxed.

"By the way, this beef is also very delicious. Although it is instant food, it tastes as good as the real thing." Hongdou seemed to be slowly recovering and said excitedly.

"It's indeed delicious, but fresh ones aren't expensive either. It's not good to store so much fast food." Naruto said, even though he was the one who stored the most fast food.

There are boxes of fast food in the sealed space. I don't usually eat them. I open some occasionally to keep them for future use. Who knows what the future will bring?

If the expiration date is about to expire, donate it directly to the Konoha Welfare Institute.

"I know, I know." Hongdou leaned against the headboard, looking exhausted. She took another sip of soda and sighed, "The salary at the ninja school isn't high, so of course we have to be frugal."

"Are you short of money?" he asked.

"You give it to me?" Hongdou asked back.

"Uh..." Naruto felt a little guilty, "Why didn't you tell me earlier? I've almost spent it all. Now it's only a few tens of thousands of taels."

"Aren't you too poor?" She was stunned.

Tens of thousands of ryo can actually do a lot of things. It can buy hundreds of ramen sets, enough to last for half a year if eaten twice a day. But for a ninja, a single ninja tool might cost tens of thousands of ryo.
