In Konoha, Naruto lies down

"my home."

"Konoha?" A look of surprise appeared on Konan's face. "We were just in the Hidden Rain Village, right?"

"Yeah, just a small ninjutsu." Naruto went into the kitchen to pour water.

Konoha and Amegakure are thousands of miles apart, yet they managed to travel through a door in just a split second? This... is too unfair. You call this a ninjutsu?

"Have some tea, pour yourself." Naruto placed the hot tea on the table.

Xiaonan poured herself a cup of tea and also poured one for Naruto. She was lost in thought as she held the hot tea. Fate is always so strange. One second she was about to die, and the next second she became...

She couldn't quite define her relationship with Naruto. They were not slaves, but subordinates, but not free. Rules bound her, preventing her from doing anything that would harm Naruto.

"What should I do?" she asked, looking up.

"Wait."

"What are you waiting for?"

"Wait until Uchiha Obito comes looking for you. Until then, you can live here." Naruto stood up and pointed in the direction of the bathroom and introduced, "No one usually comes to my house, so it's quiet."

"That's the bathroom over there, you've seen that, the kitchen, and over there is the balcony."

"Oh, by the way, I also have a dog. It's a little different from ordinary dogs. It's not here now. I'll introduce it to you when it comes back."

It seemed that if she really had to stay here, what would happen to the Hidden Rain Village? She felt a little uneasy, but it was only a fleeting thought, thinking that she was already dead.

If he hadn't saved her, she would be a corpse now. Don't worry too much about the dead. If things here don't go well, there's no chance of returning to Yuyin.

The truth was just as she expected. Naruto needed her to join forces with him to set up Obito. After that, he would not restrict Konan's freedom.

Whether she wanted to stay in Yuyin or somewhere else, he would not stop her.

into the night.

Jiuwei climbed back from the balcony and was just tiptoeing to open the French window. Just as he opened it, he suddenly heard a noise from the bathroom.

It wondered why the kid took a shower so late. Wasn't he used to taking a shower and lying down after dinner? Where had he been again, delaying the shower until now?

With a loud splash, a graceful figure walked out of the bathroom. Xiaonan, expressionless, was stunned when he saw Jiuwei walking towards the living room.

Is this dog...walking while standing?

At that moment, she almost wondered if she was blind. It was the first time she had seen a dog walking upright. A summoned beast? But even ninja dogs didn't behave like that.

The Nine-Tails was also stunned, standing there staring at Xiaonan in a daze. The next second, it was filled with contempt for Naruto. Damn scum, another one?

For some reason, Xiaonan actually read an indescribable meaning in Kyuubi's eyes and was stunned.

Kyuubi was unsure of Konan's identity and was hesitating whether to speak. Suddenly, the door to Naruto's room opened with a click, and the three of them stared at each other.

"Jiulama, what are you doing?" he asked.

Hearing this, Kyuubi immediately realized that he didn't need to play deaf and dumb, so he spoke directly.

"Just got back, kid, what's going on with you?"

"A friend," Naruto introduced, "This is Konan. Don't worry about her. It won't affect you. Just do what you need to do. She's staying at home for a while."

"Oh." Kyuubi looked indifferent.

Naruto then looked at Konan and introduced the Nine-Tails to her.

"This is Jiu Lama. He's usually not at home and only comes back to sleep at night. It's normal for him not to come back for a few days occasionally. The floor-to-ceiling window on the balcony doesn't need to be locked. He goes home through there."

"......Okay." Xiaonan was a little dazed. There was too much information.

Kyuubi glanced at Konan, nodded lacking interest, and without even taking the wine, swaggered back to the room in a cat-like manner.

In the living room, Konan blinked, walked up and asked Naruto in a low voice.

"Is that Kyuubi?"

"Yes." He yawned and just fell asleep in the room.

Xiaonan was shocked, her mind went blank, and her face turned pale. She stared at Naruto intently, as if trying to see if he was joking.

"Kyuubi?"

"what happened?"

"The Nine-Tailed Fox isn't...how could it become like this?" Konan was extremely shocked. In her impression, the tailed beasts didn't look like this.

Is this fucking Nine-Tailed Fox?

With a round head, a round brain, and a round belly, she'd believe it if she was told it was Pig Man. Is this the fucking Nine-Tailed Fox? You're kidding me, with a face full of Tom, like...

"I've said it before, the Nine-Tailed Fox is no longer in my body." Naruto spread his hands helplessly, "It's a pity that no one believes me, even though it's the truth."

"???" Konan was confused. "This is indeed hard to believe. After all, no Jinchūriki has ever taken the initiative and successfully separated from a tailed beast."

"Normally, a Jinchūriki dies instantly once separated from a tailed beast."

"Forget it, let's not talk about this. After all, it doesn't matter whether anyone believes it or not." Naruto waved his hand and glanced at Konan, only then realizing that she had just taken a shower.

She was loosely wrapped in a white towel, her purple eyeshadow washed off, her purple hair hanging wetly behind her head. Her eyes were a little cold, and she had a lip piercing on her lower lip.

The towel outlined the body's beautiful curves clearly. Konan seemed to have no defenses against Naruto, and it would have fallen off if it had been any looser.

"Rest first, we'll talk about it another day." He waved his hand. "The hair dryer is in the corner of the sofa. Find it yourself. Call me if you need anything."

After saying that, Naruto went straight back to his room to rest.

The door clicked shut, leaving only the light from the bathroom in the living room. Xiaonan stood in the bright light from the bathroom, looking a little at a loss.

A few strands of hair fell and stuck to her face, with water droplets remaining on the purple ends.

Naruto's casual attitude made her feel relieved. She had originally been prepared to be a slave. She was born in a war era and naturally knew the role of slaves.

But now, she is more like a friend from afar.

Xiaonan glanced down at his hands and suddenly realized that his nerves were too tense. There was no point in holding on; those plans had already failed.

At first, she didn't expect Naruto to refuse the Rinnegan. After all, it was a powerful power, and almost no one could easily refuse it.

But Naruto refused, as casually as if he was rejecting an advertising flyer.

When she was beaten to pieces by Uchiha Obito and was dying, he miraculously appeared in front of her and pulled her back from the brink of death.

I signed a contract, and now I am alive, but also confused. After a series of failures, Xiaonan himself doesn't know what to do.

He extended an olive branch of revenge to her again, telling her that she should take revenge.

But when she looked up again, he told her to wait. She was from the Hidden Rain Village, and he told her to stay in Konoha and wait? What was she waiting for? Was he waiting for Uchiha Obito to come to her?

She wanted to go home, but it was too late.

Xiaonan clenched his palms with some strength, then suddenly loosened them. After a moment of silence, he sighed silently.

The only sound in the living room was the ticking of the clock. Outside the window, it was quiet, the night as dark as ink and as still as water. There seemed to be no neighbors around.

The next day.

"Aren't you going out for a walk?" Before leaving, he suddenly turned around and looked at Xiaonan who was sitting in the living room and asked.

"I don't have a Konoha identity, and showing up will get me into trouble." Konan shook her head.

"It shouldn't be a problem if I just take a walk. There are no Anbu around here." He thought for a few seconds, "Forget it, you can do whatever you want. If you want to go out, go out."

Faced with Naruto's irresponsible and hands-off arrangements, Konan was completely confused.

What do you mean by "it's up to you"? Can you leave without a permit? Aren't you afraid of getting him into trouble? Are you that careless?

Naruto had already left. He really didn't think too much about it. After all, it was just a little Nan, so it was okay to go out for a walk. Now that Nagato was dead, Yugakure would be his.

In the village, Kakashi can give him special privileges, and in the Anbu, Uzuki Yugao can give him the green light. What is the prince of Konoha? I'm afraid of nothing.

Chapter 473 Naruto's Unlimited Vacation Plan

He didn't know what would happen to Konoha in the future, but now both the Hokage and the Anbu captain were related to him, so at least he could do whatever he wanted.

As for the future... he didn't know who would be Hokage, maybe Shikamaru or the old guard. But he also knew that even if Shikamaru became Hokage, he wouldn't be able to stand by him unconditionally.

Although Shikamaru usually dislikes trouble, he is actually a very serious and proud person at heart. Whether it is shogi or life, he is very serious.

Perhaps it's because smart people think more, consider things more comprehensively, and therefore handle things more rationally. To outsiders, this might seem a bit inhumane.

But these were not within Naruto's scope of thinking. By that time, he would have long since left Konoha. Whoever wanted to be Hokage could be Hokage. After all, the Ninja World was not limited to Konoha.

In other words, when Tsunade was the Fifth Hokage, he was at his peak. Now that Tsunade has abdicated and Kakashi is the Sixth Hokage, it's a period of decline.

By the time the seventh generation comes to power, the advantage of being ahead of two versions will gradually fade.

It's even possible that things will turn around, and the conservatives who once supported Danzo and the Sandaime will rise to power. At that time, their attitude towards Naruto will definitely change 180 degrees.

Naruto never trusted Konoha, only Tsunade and Kakashi. While the bonus of the version is still there and there is still activity, prepare some backup plans.

The Snow Country, with its technological advantages, is a fallback, and the Hidden Rain Village, now a no-man's land, is also one of the retreats. After Nagato died, his legacy naturally passed to his fellow apprentice Naruto.

After all, they are brothers from the same school and close friends.

Compared to the five major ninja villages, the Snow Country and the Rain Country are smaller in size and have a certain technological and industrial base. Their advantages are twofold: they are compact and powerful, and they require little effort.

He likes all things that are hassle-free and looks forward to finishing a bunch of things so that he can be a hands-off boss and happily start his unlimited vacation.

Let’s call it…Naruto’s Infinite Vacation Plan.

noon.

This man was drinking and eating with Choji in the store. While chatting, Naruto suddenly stopped. He suddenly remembered that there was a former angel of the Akatsuki organization living at home.

wipe!

He slapped his thigh and forgot to leave any food for her. He didn't know whether angels could eat worldly food.

"Why are you so jumpy? You scared me to death." Shikamaru shuddered and dropped his chopsticks to the ground. His chubby cheeks shook and he looked scared.

"I suddenly remembered that the gas at home was not turned off, so I have to pack some to take back." Naruto stood up and turned around to get the takeaway box.

This inhumane behavior immediately made Shikamaru furious. This grandson is getting more and more shameless. He ran away from the bill. And he made up an outrageous excuse, and packed it up?

"I haven't even taken a few bites yet!" protested Choji.

"It's a good opportunity to help you lose weight. Your wife came here in person to take you back last time!" Naruto said as he did not slow down his hands at all.

"Damn it, didn't I just ask you to pay once? You still remember it, you are such a rude person!" Shikamaru cursed, but he was also convinced.

"I didn't expect that with your status and strength, you could be so poor. Uzumaki Naruto, you really rely on your strength to be poor!"

"Stop making noise, what's so great about a little money?" Naruto picked up the box with a click, "If you can, give it all to me, so I can feel what it's like to have enough money."

Chouji: “……”

"Hey, at least leave me two pieces of meat!"

"Not a bit left!"

While Choji ordered another table of dishes, Naruto hurried home. He entered the house with his key and just as he changed his shoes, he found Konan still sitting on the sofa.

Just as she had done when he left the house in the morning, she seemed to have been sitting on the sofa all morning.

"What were you doing this morning?" After changing his shoes, he walked to the edge of the dining table with the food in his hand, then reached out and took out all the packed lunch boxes one by one.

"Sit down," she said.

"Are you hungry? I brought you some food, but I don't know if it suits your taste." As he said this, he turned and went into the kitchen to get some water.

"It can last until the day after tomorrow." Xiaonan said.

"What?" He leaned against the kitchen door, holding a glass.

"You can last until the day after tomorrow without eating." She turned to look at him and repeated.

Naruto was speechless, thinking to himself, "I'm asking if you're hungry, not your survival limits in the wild." If he hadn't come back, this guy would probably have sat on the sofa until dark.

"Do you often do this in the Hidden Rain Village? Um... like not eating or something like that." he asked.

"Hmm." She nodded.

"Haven't you already taken control of the Hidden Rain Village? Why would such a big village have no food to eat? It's so strange, isn't it?" Naruto was a little surprised.

"There are many... children who don't have enough to eat, and I don't want to consume too much food." Xiaonan said.

They had grown up during the war years and knew what it was like to go hungry for three days. So even after the Ninja World War was over, she always kept the habit of eating less.

"You don't need to starve here. Your body doesn't belong to you alone. You still need to help me with things." Naruto looked at her and said in a somewhat tough attitude.
