Naruto unceremoniously wrapped his arm around Sasuke's shoulder and complained, "Sasuke, I've run into a super troublesome enemy this time."
Sasuke shook off Naruto's lewd hands (?): "So what?"
Naruto didn't mind Sasuke's actions. When encountering this kind of tsundere, you either turn around and leave, or you have a thick skin:
"That guy uses all kinds of Clay bombs, which are impossible to defend against. I can't do anything about him. You should deal with him next time we meet."
Naruto used exaggerated gestures to describe Deidara's various 'arts' to Sasuke.
Sasuke felt a little happy to be recognized, but he knew in his heart that if Naruto couldn't win, he wouldn't stand a chance either. Even though it was a sunny day, he didn't think he could beat Naruto:
"If you can't do anything, what can I do?"
"You have the Sharingan, you can see through his explosives at a glance."
Sasuke raised his eyebrows slightly. He loved hearing praise about his Sharingan.
"And you know Lightning Release, which just happens to counter his Ninjutsu derived from Earth Release. You can shock him until he can't take care of himself."
Sasuke's lips curled up. He also loved hearing praise about his Lightning Release, especially since he had made progress recently.
Seeing Naruto's hand on his shoulder, Sasuke, in a good mood, wanted to be a little mischievous: "Like this?"
"Eek~~~" Naruto felt something was wrong. He only saw an arc of electricity flash across Sasuke's body, and then Naruto's body went numb, and his hair stood on end, turning into a fluffy hedgehog afro.
"Pfft~ Hahahaha..."
"Hahaha..."
"Woof woof woof woof..."
Kiba was the first to laugh out loud, and then everyone else burst into laughter, even Akamaru joined in the fun.
Naruto felt the strangeness of his appearance and roared, "What is this?!"
Sasuke had already scurried over to Kushina for protection, happy to have made Naruto suffer for once.
Hinata also covered her mouth and laughed for a while, then came over to help Naruto untie his Forehead Protector and tidy his hair.
Although he could use the Chaotic Lion Hair Technique to forcibly control his hair, Naruto gave up, thinking maliciously, did Jiraiya develop this Ninjutsu because he was single and had no one to help him manage his long hair?
...
"Achoo~" Jiraiya, far away in Konoha, sneezed.
Tsunade threw down the few playing cards in her hand with disgust and said, "Change the deck."
"Okay." Jiraiya wiped his nose and took a new deck.
All the large and small casinos in Konoha had been sealed up by the Military Police Force. If Jiraiya didn't occasionally play a few friendly games with Tsunade, Tsunade might go berserk.
In fact, Naruto had also given Minato an idea. Instead of letting those Black Casinos do things secretly, it would be better for Konoha to open one officially, or at least open one specifically for Tsunade. Naruto could help find extras to gamble with Tsunade.
Anyway, instead of letting her squander the money, it would be better to let her lose it to her own people. Naruto named this plan the 'Salary Recycling Plan'.
But the righteous Fourth Hokage would not listen to his nonsense.
Although Naruto wouldn't do anything outrageous, it was entirely possible for him to trick his own people in some small matters.
He calls her 'sister' all day long, acting all affectionate, but goes to the Military Police Force to report her every other day.
Coming up with this idea is probably just to earn some extra money!
...
Going to Sunagakure Village to deliver the message is also to tell them to be vigilant. After all, although two members of the Akatsuki were killed and one escaped this time, they might make a comeback later.
Of course, there is only being a thief for a thousand days, but no guarding against a thief for a thousand days. Both Konoha and Sand Hidden believe that this force should be eliminated, so they have sent people to look for suspicious people wearing Black and Red Cloud Robes, and agreed to share information and help each other.
When returning to Konoha, they didn't travel long distances anymore, but directly had Naruto carry them.
When they came, Minato sent them directly with the Flying Thunder God, otherwise they wouldn't have been able to reach Loulan in a single day.
Kiba looked at the door of the Hokage Office and sighed, "Although it's not the first time I've experienced it, this Ninjutsu is really convenient!"
"Woof!" Akamaru agreed.
Kushina knocked on the door, then pushed Naruto inside, and said with a smile, "Mission accomplished, please, Hokage, inspect what we brought back!"
"What am I, some kind of object?" Naruto staggered forward a few steps, propped his hands on the desk, then met Minato's eyes, and Naruto guiltily looked away from him.
Minato waved a hand nonchalantly, and said with a smile, "Yo, isn't this my long-lost younger brother?"
"..." Naruto could only show an awkward but polite smile, "Long time no see, big brother."
The others:?
Kushina put an arm around Naruto's neck, "It seems you have a lot of things you haven't said in detail, Naruto... little brother?"
Naruto's tongue was almost strangled out. It's better for a dead friend than a dead me, so he chose to find someone to share the firepower, "There are... cough... many things I haven't said, like my dad hugging that beautiful Queen in Loulan."
Kakashi tactfully led the other five students to take their leave first, and closed the door on the way out. He was afraid that Naruto would also pit him later, and even if he didn't pit him, he was afraid of getting blood on himself.
"Eh? That..." Minato didn't expect the fire to burn on his head, and quickly waved his hand to explain.
Then Kushina stretched out her other hand, and the heads of the father and son met in front of Kushina, touching and separating.
Although neither of them heard the sound of the collision, Naruto's brain thought his ears should have heard a clang.
Kushina let go, "What exactly is going on?"
"Ouch, ouch, ouch..." Naruto squatted down, hugging his head for defense, while Minato slumped into the chair.
After a little quarrel, in order to prevent his son from continuing to pit him, Minato decided to carefully tell Kushina the whole story.
After talking all the way to defeating Mukade and sealing the Dragon Vein, Kushina nodded, "So that's how it is, but why didn't you bring Naruto back so I could see him too? Only you father and son secretly meeting, how cunning!"
Minato said helplessly, "Well, the situation was urgent at the time, and we weren't married yet."
"Huh? Then how far along were you two at that time?" Naruto was very curious.
"At that time we..." Kushina subconsciously wanted to say, but then she was a little embarrassed, "Children shouldn't inquire about adult things!"
"Oh." Progressed to things that only adults can do? Naruto didn't dare to say the second half of the sentence, saying it would cause death, Jiraiya's death.
Minato seemed to suddenly remember something and said, "By the way, Naruto, I have something I want to tell you..."
"Hmm?"
"Don't be picky about food, eat properly, and grow up quickly..." Minato recited a long passage completely, while Naruto wore an awkward expression.
Kushina nodded as she listened, and only spoke after Minato finished, "Mom wants to say the same thing as Dad."
Naruto: ...
What's this? What if you two switched roles?
