Itachi takes Naruto and goes into the forest. Then, put it down under the tree, sit down next to it, and start sheltering from the rain. As the awkward silence flowed, Naruto could not stand it and opened his mouth.
“Itachi-senpai…”
“Seed is enough”
“…I see, Mr. Itachi, are you avoiding me?”
“What do you mean?”
“Um…how to say…I feel that way…by any chance…”
“…?”
“Does Itachi-san also… think of me as a monster just like that leaf?”
Naruto speaks with a momentary heavy life. Itachi was a bit surprised by his life, but answered casually.
“No, if that’s the case, I didn’t even teach shuriken back then.”
“…Then I’m glad.”
“How did you escape? There must have been a lot of surveillance as it was the Jin Juryok…”
“Toby-san…I mean, I met Madara-san when you were killing the Uchiha Clan.”
“…!”
“Don’t worry, I didn’t tell anyone what I saw then.”
“You talk as if you know everything.”
“It can’t be”
Naruto evades while smiling. Itachi looked at Naruto like that, sighed inwardly, and closed his eyes. A few minutes later, Kisame returned to Samehada carrying Roushi. Then he threw it in front of Itachi and opened his mouth.
“Naruto-san took some of his strength, but it was simpler than I thought, well… the tactic called Yongdun was a bit dangerous.”
“I’m an old man and I’m going to die, treat me respectfully”
“Itachi-san, you must have seen it when you saved Naruto-san. You won’t die so easily.”
“To avoid the rain, let’s call the leader…”
“That’s nice, by the way, Naruto-san…”
Kisame glanced at Naruto, and she was approaching the fainting Roushi and doing something. Kisame asks Naruto a question.
“What are you doing?”
“I want to meet Sami for a moment.”
“Meeting Sami… Is it the ability of Injuryuk?”
“It’s not like that… Anyway, I’ll be back for a while.”
Naruto confirmed that the background had changed and looked around.
And soon, he finds a prison called Cuddy and walks towards it, and someone talks to him.
“It’s not Rousey…who are you?”
“Ah, nice to meet you… My name is Naruto Uzumaki.”
“…Ha, it’s the first time I’ve ever seen a guy say hello to Mi-soo… Looking at it now, he’s the kid who fought Roushi earlier.”
“Um…so…Sami?”
“Don’t call me that! I have a name too!
King Miwon of Suryeom-dong, Son Goku, the king of monkeys, a sage who was given the title of Son by the sage Yukdo, is Jecheon Daeseong!!! Wookie!!”
Naruto was taken aback by Son Goku’s sudden and too fast speech, then tilted his head and asked a question.
“Eh… so… Ukigi… Mr.?”
“It’s a hand!! It’s called Son Goku!!”
“Ah, sorry…!”
“As expected, humans…But I’ve never seen an honest guy like you…Wait…Wait…I wonder if he was also inside you…That’s why he was able to enter this place.
“Because Kurama is amazing!”
“Hey, stop talking useless, Naruto.”
“Kurama…!”
Son Goku opens his mouth in surprise when he sees Kurama talking naturally with Naruto.
“Heh, what kind of wind blows that nine-tailed fox in the world wagging its tail at humans?”
“Noisy, Naruto is different from the other guys”
“hahahaha, that’s really amazing!!! Kurama, you’re saying that…!”
Son Goku laughs out loud for a moment, then looks at Naruto with interest.
“Yes, I said Naruto, what did you come here for?”
“So, would you like to be friends with me… or me?”
“…What? Are you serious about that?”
“Yeah, of course!”
Songoku looked into Naruto’s eyes and easily sensed that she was serious. When Kurama nodded quietly, Songoku sighed and thrust his fist forward.
“Put your fists together”
“like this..?”
When Naruto gently fists his fists, he opens his eyes wide as if he noticed something, then smiles happily. At that moment, Son Goku’s body glows and disappears as if absorbed by Naruto. Naruto opens his mouth while touching his belly.
“Please take good care of me… Son Goku…”
“Heh… call me a hand”
“Yes, hands!!”
As Kisame and Itachi waited for the rain to stop while watching Naruto touch Roushi’s belly and close his eyes, something happened. A red chakra came out of the body of Roushi who fainted, and it covered the body. Kisame is surprised and catches Samehada and opens her mouth.
“Unsigned.. is it? It’s annoying.”
“Wait, Kisame…something is different”
The red chakra follows Naruto’s hand and is absorbed by Niruto. As time passes and the red chakra disappears, Naruto opens his eyes.
“…Injuryeok is dead. What did you do?”
“
Sami…no, I became friends with Son . ”
In this technique, when an Akatsuki member emits a thought wave that transforms chakra, Pain receives it and amplifies it to create an illusion in a specific place. Through this technique, Akatsuki members can communicate even when they are far away. And now, through this technique, all the Akatsuki members have gathered again.
“…You’re late.”
“Because it’s just the time when I just grabbed the seal…”
“This one also just caught it, and the Jets took it, so shouldn’t they have arrived soon?”
“…!”
At Hidan’s words, Naruto looked at Hidan with interest.
But Pain doesn’t care about Naruto and opens his mouth.
“Let’s start sealing right away, when everyone is ready…”
“Wait…!”
“…What is it, Naruto Uzumaki?”
“So…I want to talk with you before that…”
“What do you mean?”
“Before that, I have something to tell you.”
Kisame intercepts Payne’s question and opens her mouth.
“The 4 tails of Jinju are dead.”
“Is it a mission failure?”
“No, should I say that Naruto-san absorbed Sami…”
“We made friends!”
“…Itachi, what do you mean?”
“Perhaps Naruto became both a Gumi and a Sami Jinju at the same time.
I don’t know what he did.”
“Hey, Itachi, what nonsense are you talking about? Maybe you’re talking about mission failure? Hmm!”
“Deidara-senpai…Are you jealous?”
“Ah? Toby, even patience has a limit!”
“Patience is… they say patience, but Deidara-senpai explodes all the time…”
“What are you doing, you bastard?!”
“Deidara, calm down. Getting angry will only prove Toby’s words.”
“huh…!”
“And Toby, treat your senior properly like a senior.”
“Yes, I understand!”
Payne stops Deidara and Tobi and looks at Naruto.
And open your mouth with curious eyes.
“Naruto, can you control Sami’s power?”
“Hmm…I can borrow strength rather than control. But we’re not that close yet, so we’ll talk slowly and get closer! Kurama is with us too!”
“Kumara… do you mean Gumi…”
Payne is silent for a moment, lost in thought.
And as if noticing something strange, ask a question.
“Does saying that you want to meet Imi mean that you want to absorb it?”
“Exactly, I want to be friends.”
“Then why didn’t you do it during Japan and the US?”
“Um…actually I already did…I got rejected…but I won’t give up!”
“…Okay, let’s postpone the sealing of Mi-Soo. If I can use the power of Mi-Soo, it’s no different from increasing my strength.”
“Thank you”
When the story is over, Kakuzu opens his mouth as if he had been waiting.
“Is the story finally over, Itachi Uchiha…and Naruto Uzumaki…I have a question for you guys.”
“To me?”
“From now on, I plan to head to the ‘Fire Temple’ in the Land of Fire. There is a guy with a fairly high bounty there. I plan to go catch him. Tell me the location of the Fire Temple.”
“I… have no interest in temples.”
“Hmm… the Temple of Fire… I’ve seen it in a book.”
“I’m not interested in anything else, just tell me where you are”
“It’s hard to explain in words… but I think you’ll understand when you go there yourself.”
“Then guide me.”
“But I’m tired today. And it’s annoying.”
“I can’t turn a blind eye to the money because it’s annoying. Think about my position as the one in charge of the Akatsuki’s dungeon.”
When Naruto speaks as if he is not interested, Zetsu opens his mouth.
“Money…is important… / Yes, but it’s true that Naruto is tired. He needs a break.”
“Jets is right, take a break for a week and meet later at the place Jets told you to.”
“…i get it”
“Once you know”
“The rest of the members, keep looking for Mi-soo, then disband.”
After the communication ended, Naruto got up from his seat and stretched out. Then, looking at Itachi and Kisame, he opened his mouth.
“Then I’ll go first, because I want to sleep in my room.”
“…I don’t mind, but it will be quite a distance from here. Is it okay if I go alone?”
“We’re not alone, there are two of us… No, there are three of us now!”
“Heh, okay. We’ll see you later.”
As Naruto is about to leave, Sameha, who was behind Kisame, makes a sad sound. Seeing that, Naruto smiled and opened his mouth while stroking Samehada.
“See you later too”
“Kiki-“
“…Same and then follow someone else… It’s hard to adapt after all.”
“Naruto…”
“What is it, Itachi-san?”
“Don’t overdo it”
“Are you worried? Thank you.”
Naruto smiled and waved his hand. And start leaving the place. Looking at Naruto’s back, Kisame opens his mouth.
“Your first impression wasn’t bad. I look forward to the future.
What was she like when she was in the leaves?”
“…In a word, it was dark, and no one believed it. Even the villagers treated Naruto that way, so it’s only natural…”
“Are you such a bright kid? It’s amazing.”
“no…”
“…?”
“Pretending to be bright, but still dark”
“Hehe, are you worried? You don’t look like Itachi-san.”
“Think whatever you want”
A week goes by, Naruto sleeps in his room and wakes up to eat. Zetsu opens his mouth as if he is dumbfounded while watching Naruto like that.
“Every day…you eat…sleep…repeatedly… / Doesn’t that make you fat?”
“Don’t worry, I’m not the type to live.”
Naruto answered with a sleepy yawn. The moment Zetsu was about to answer what he meant, his eyes suddenly went to Naruto’s chest and he understood.
“I see… / Aha… Everything I ate went there.”
“What did you say..?”
“Nothing… / Don’t worry, more than that, it’s about time, Kakuzu and Hidan are waiting for you.”
“I don’t like going to the land of fire… but I can’t help it…”
Naruto gets out of bed, takes a quick shower, and puts on a cloak.
“Let’s go… ”
” You’re late, you made me wait a week and you’re making me wait again…”
“Ahahaha…sorry”
“In that case, guide me quickly.”
“Okay, um… So, Kakuzu-senpai?”
“I feel bad, Mr. is enough”
“Hey hey, Kakuzu. He’s over 90 years old, doesn’t the title of grandfather more appropriate than Mr.?”
“Kakuzu… Grandpa…?”
“Don’t call me that… and Hidan… you’d better not tell me… I’ll die.”
“So… they say I don’t die…”
While walking down the street while having such a conversation, Hidan approaches Naruto with an interested expression. Then, he opens his mouth while showing his necklace.
“Hey, would you like to join the Sasin Church?”
“…The Four Protestants?”
“Yes, even if you kill a person, there is no judgment at all, and above all, the god of death will take care of you!”
“Hey…”
“How is it? Great teaching, isn’t it?”
“Did you say Uzumaki, just ignore his nonsense?”
“Don’t interfere, Kakuzu!! We’re talking about the sacred Shinigami cult! Do you want to be judged by the Shinigami?”
“All I believe in is money. Don’t stop even more than that, it’s behind schedule.”
The place he arrived at was a place with a huge iron gate with the words Temple of Fire written on it. Naruto looked up at the high door and opened his mouth.
