late at night.

In the deserted forest, Naruto, who had lost his left arm, sat on a wooden pillar, quietly watching the burning fire in front of him, roasting the hare, with the light of the flame dancing in his green eyes.

It has been almost a few months since he left the Kingdom of Ghosts. During this time, he has been appearing in various places, wandering aimlessly.

Even though Shiraishi told him to watch things other than ninjas, to think about the connection between ninjas and the world, and to get answers that satisfied him, he still instinctively knew nothing about it and didn't know what he wanted to think about specifically.

, what to do.

However, the gains are not without success.

Although the Fifth Ninja World War brought huge trauma to the Ninja World, in just a few months, many war zones began to begin orderly post-war reconstruction with the support of the Demon Country.

Proper arrangements have also been made for those people who have lost their land and homes.

This is always a reassuring thing.

The war in the ninja world has already killed too many people and caused too much damage. We should not continue to spread unnecessary pain, especially to people who have nothing to do with the war.

From this point of view, although he has a bad impression of Chiba Shiraishi, he has to admit that the other party is a very accomplished person.

Just thinking about Konoha now... Naruto's eyes felt sad.

Two months ago, he returned to Konoha for a visit without disturbing anyone... Although the iconic Shadow Rock that he once yearned for was still there, it was precisely because of this that his mood became more complicated.

The internal ninja clan defected, canceled the name of "Kage", and seemed to be eager to do something.

As for acquaintances in the village, no matter how I view them or how they view me, if they meet suddenly, they will feel that they are extremely strange to each other.

Therefore, Naruto only saw that the situation in the village was not as bad as he imagined, and turned around and left.

Naruto... was, after all, a distant dream that he could not touch when he was young.

Recalling every bit of the past, he didn't know when the next time he would set foot in his 'hometown'.

Now, he just feels very tired. He doesn't want to think about anything or do anything. He just wants to find a place where there are no humans and have a good rest.

After simply dealing with dinner issues, Naruto put on his windproof black coat, extinguished the fire on the ground, and disappeared from the place, looking for a nearby town to rest for the night.

——Naruto, you will make yourself bored if you act like this.

Within the body, the voice of the Nine Lamas came.

It could feel Naruto's inner frustration and anguish at this moment.

He has a home and cannot return, his youthful dreams are completely shattered, and he is still unable to kill his ‘enemy’…

He has too many things to bear on him. If it were someone else, his spirit would have been overwhelmed by such a loss, and he would have fallen into confusion.

Although Naruto is also confused, he will not hurt others for no reason because of his own problems.

——I think it’s best for you to find a place to rest for a while and make yourself feel better... Isn’t there some movie or something? Anyway, the war is over, there is no need to put down the courage that does not belong to you.

On oneself.

The Nine Lamas continued to persuade with earnest words.

It's just a failure, but the Kyuubi has a lot to say about life.

He was controlled by Madara, sealed by the First Hokage and his wife, and later violently beaten by the Fourth Hokage and his wife... In the end, he just did whatever he had to do.

Since the resentment on it was removed by Naruto, its thoughts have become smoother than ever.

——I know, which country do you think is more suitable?

Naruto nodded, he had similar thoughts in his mind. Now he didn't want to do anything, he just wanted to stay away from the hustle and bustle of the world and let himself be quiet.

——Let me think about it...

Jiulama began to think seriously. Anyway, Naruto probably didn't want to go to the Ghost Country.

Moreover, although the Ninja World War has ended, the local conflicts between countries have not stopped. The big countries that are unwilling to fail are probably still trying to stir up troubles secretly.

Including those great ninjas who lost their villages, they will also wait for the opportunity and plot some ulterior plan secretly.

It didn't want the current Naruto to get involved in such troublesome things again.

It felt that Naruto's brain could never handle such a complicated matter as human war.

He has many advantages, but his shortcomings are also obvious, that is, he is not decisive and ruthless enough. No matter what he does, he will not easily take away people's lives.

This resulted in him having unparalleled strength, but he was always unable to make a big impact.

People used to say that the ninja god Senju Hashirama was the reincarnation of the Buddha and had a compassionate heart, but Kyuubi felt that Naruto was the truly compassionate Buddha.

Just as it was thinking, Naruto, who was heading to a nearby village, suddenly sniffed, and a strange smell of rust penetrated his nostrils.

Blood! Lots of blood!

Naruto's expression changed, and without any hesitation, he rushed towards the direction where the smell of blood came from at extremely fast speeds.

It only took a very short time for him to feel the source of the bloody smell.

It was a quiet countryside like a paradise.

There are about a hundred people living there.

Perhaps due to the lack of young labor force, only the elderly, women and children are left in the village.

It was supposed to be a peaceful village like a paradise, but now there is only a piece of charred wasteland.

Wooden houses were burned to the ground, farmland was destroyed, and the old, young, women, and children who had just enjoyed the countryside fell to the ground without exception, with corpses strewn across the fields and rivers of blood.

When Naruto saw this scene, his pupils trembled and his fists clenched subconsciously.

Several thoughts about the murderer flashed through his mind, including wandering ninjas, passing horse bandits...

It was not that he had never seen this kind of thing before, but no matter how many times he saw it, he felt that such a scene was too cruel.

I don't understand why he would deal with such a cruel attack on a group of defenseless old people, young women and children.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "Come out."

Naruto turned around and looked at the lush trees around him. A dozen figures flickered out and appeared in front of Naruto.

These people are all ninjas, and their costumes are not uniform. There are ninjas from Konoha, Sunagakure, Iwagakure, Kumogakure, Takigakure and other small villages.

Three of the Konoha ninjas were wearing ANBU costumes and colorful animal masks.

Naruto recognized it as 'Gen''s costume.

"Great, you are the Nine-Tailed Jinchuriki Uzumaki Naruto. We originally wanted to ambush the support troops of the Demon Country here, but we didn't expect to meet you here. In this way, we can defeat the enemy without any effort.

.”

A Kumogakure ninja showed an excited smile on his face.

He thought that Naruto was just like them, a rebellious ninja who planned to make a comeback after disappearing on the battlefield.

And with the addition of a Nine-Tailed Jinchuuriki like Naruto, the success of their plan will be greatly increased.

They knew that Naruto was the perfect Jinchuuriki and could definitely become a powerful ninja who would lead them.

Finally, I can live my life without hiding.

"ambush?"

Naruto frowned.

"Yes, Lord Naruto, please come back with us. Now that we have found you, there is no point in carrying out this ambush. What is important is that you become the Sixth Hokage as soon as possible and bring all the villages to justice."

Gathering the resistance forces is the most important task at the moment."

A root ninja stood up and said.

Hearing this, the ninjas in the other villages frowned and complained about it, but thinking of Naruto's strength, they could only look at each other and nodded slowly.

No matter what, the most important thing now is to have a leader who can calm the situation and lead them to rise again.

As for this person, whether he is the Hokage, Raikage, or Tsuchikage... we will tell after victory.

"This village is..."

"We attacked here. This country is a small country that has taken refuge in the Kingdom of Demons. A few days ago, we planned to assassinate the daimyo of this country. Although we failed, we succeeded in causing chaos, allowing us to take advantage of it. Now attack here,

It’s just to attract the ninja troops from the Kingdom of Ghosts and use traps to catch them all.”

Iwagakure's ninjas stood up and explained in a eloquent manner, looking quite annoyed about the failed assassination of the daimyo a few days ago.

"How many villages did you attack in total?"

Naruto lowered his head.

"Is this the ninth or tenth one? I forgot a little bit. Anyway, it's just a small -"

The Iwagakure ninja who stood up had not finished saying the word 'thing' when a touch of gold passed across his neck, his head slipped off, and with an indifferent expression, it rolled to the ground.

This sudden scene shocked everyone, and then someone shouted anxiously:

"Damn it, you're not Uzumaki Naruto, you're a ninja from the Kingdom of Ghosts in disguise?"

"Impossible, this chakra should only be possessed by jinchūriki..."

Next, their voices all stopped.
To be continued...
