[Arrange things reasonably so that the hydrangea can study in the leafy trees.]
That's how it is.
[Konan has a reason to frequently come to Konoha to check homework.]
[That's right, this is why Xiao Nan brought the hydrangea.]
"Naruto...Naruto-sama~!"
The hydrangea's delicate face was flushed with red.
Xianglin looked left and right.
[He nodded in satisfaction.]
"Naruto-nii-san, is it good?"
"I made this myself..."
[Xiang Lin hadn't finished speaking.]
The hydrangea nodded softly, letting out a gentle "Mmm."
[Xiang Lin:? ? ? ]
I'm talking about this maid outfit!
[etc! ]
[Naruto-sama...is it good?]
Hmm~
[No, wait!]
Xianglin's gaze towards the hydrangea instantly changed.
The newly formed, albeit superficial, friendship shattered instantly.
Okay!
I consider you a sister.
[You actually had designs on Naruto-nii-san?!]
You can guard against anything, but it's hard to guard against a thief within your own household!
[I was actually quite happy about this little girl's arrival...]
"It fits perfectly."
Naruto chuckled and nodded.
"Are you sure you want to stay in this capacity?"
"Yes!" Hydrangea nodded quickly.
[For Master Xiao Nan's mission... I'm willing to do it~!]
[Damn it... I can't stop smiling!]
Naruto shook his head.
"Whatever."
"Xianglin, take the hydrangea to dinner first."
"I'll sit for a while, then I'll go."
Naruto then took out the map and spread it out on the table.
At that moment, Hydrangea immediately got up and poured Naruto a cup of hot tea.
[Naruto-sama~]
["Hmm~" Naruto nodded, then habitually raised his hand and ruffled Hydrangea's little head.]
The hydrangea paused, then narrowed its eyes slightly.
[Xiang Lin: "!!!!!!"]
[No!]
That's me...that's probably what I usually do!
[And Naruto's pats... they should be mine~!]
Naruto noticed something was off and was startled.
[He glanced at the hydrangea, its face flushed red.]
[An apologetic smile.]
"Sorry, it's a habit. Xianglin usually helps with these chores."
As he spoke, Naruto looked at Karin.
But Xianglin had her head down, her shoulders trembling slightly.
["Xiang Lin?"]
["Naruto-nii-san~"
"I'm a little hungry..."
However, just as I looked up...
Xianglin's face broke into a sweet smile again.
"Go ahead," Naruto said with a smile.
["Mmm~" Xianglin nodded obediently.]
He then stepped forward, looked at Naruto, and blinked repeatedly.
Naruto paused, startled.
After seeing the expectant look in the girl's eyes, he couldn't help but chuckle.
He reached out and gently stroked the girl's beautiful red hair.
"Go."
"Mmm~!" Xianglin squinted her eyes, a satisfied smile spreading across her face.
[Then, without further ado, they seized the hydrangea.]
"Come on, little maid, I'll show you around the house!"
The hydrangeas seem a little reluctant to part.
However, Xianglin seemed a bit off; it was as if she wanted to say something to me.
[Hydrangea let Xianglin pull her out the door.]
[After gently closing the study door.]
Xianglin took a deep breath.
When he turned back, his expression had changed.
Seeing this.
All the women stared wide-eyed.
Oh no!
So that's what made me feel something was off when we first met...!
Tian Tian: "I didn't realize that!"
Tian Tian: "So this is what Xiang Lin is really like~!"
Sakura Haruno: "You hid it so well~!"
Ino Yamanaka: "Hmm...actually, when we talk about her, we're just blaming the pot calling the kettle black!"
Hinata Hanabi: "Hmm~! A bit better than my older sister~!"
Hinata Hyuga: "???"
...
["Sister Xianglin~"
Hydrangeas react extremely quickly.
[In the instant I realized something was wrong.]
They immediately backed down.
To be honest, Xiang Lin's forced smile is a little scary.
["I never expected... I never expected that Xianglin-neechan was actually a yandere pretending to be a lovesick girl~!"]
["But…it seems like Xianglin is different with other girls…"]
[Hydrangea's eyes lit up; she realized she had found a breakthrough.]
[...]
Naruto had no idea what was happening outside.
At this moment, he looked at the location of Amegakure on the map.
"The Akatsuki."
"Uchiha Obito... Uzumaki Nagato?"
"Kumogakure (Hidden Cloud Village), Iwagakure (Hidden Rock Village)."
Naruto silently took out two specially made trident-shaped kunai.
"Let's go to Amegakure tomorrow."
[He glanced in the direction of the door.]
Then, Naruto's gaze fell upon one of the specially made trident-shaped kunai.
"No movement. Has Obito Uchiha not found them yet?"
Naruto planted the trident-shaped kunai on a spot on the map.
That place belongs to the Land of Fire.
However, we're almost at the border.
[And this is where Kisame Hoshigaki is right now.]
[Then, another specially made three-pronged kunai was inserted into another spot.]
Naruto frowned slightly.
"Uchiha Itachi."
This is where Itachi Uchiha was positioned.
However, at this moment, the teleportation techniques on the two kunai did not react violently.
There was no specific chakra nearby that triggered the reaction.
"Never mind, it's still early."
"There's no rush."
As he spoke, Naruto suddenly remembered something.
With a wave of his hand.
[A spiral-shaped spatial fluctuation appears.]
A crystal coffin appeared before them.
Inside the crystal coffin, Nohara Rin's body lay still.
"Hasn't it been discovered yet?"
"Perhaps they've already discovered it?"
"Let's pay a little attention to Kakashi-sensei."
Even if Obito Uchiha found out, his first thought would probably be Kakashi.
After all, Obito Uchiha's other eye was with Kakashi.
Regarding Obito Uchiha.
Actually, Naruto wasn't in a real hurry.
There are other ways to deal with it, of course.
[Going directly to it and capturing it wouldn't be what Naruto wanted.]
In Naruto's eyes, Obito Uchiha was even worse than Danzo Shimura.
Its subsequent treatment was naturally no better than that of Danzo Shimura.
He was eager to see if Obito Uchiha would still be able to hold onto what he firmly believed in by then.
With a wave of his hand.
Rin Nohara's body was taken back into Naruto's own Kamui dimension.
Keep it.
It will be effective.
"We're going to Amegakure tomorrow."
"If possible, there's no need for war to break out here."
"Grandpa is also very good at working in Amegakure and Sunagakure."
"We should get news from Gaara soon too."
[...]
[at the same time. ]
[Inside the magic lantern barrier.]
Nagato appeared as Yahiko.
Looking at the few scattered people in front of him.
[His brows furrowed slightly.]
"Where are the others?"
["leader!"]
"Tell him about it!"
"Damn it... going to that filthy place again!"
"Kakuzu has cleared the Fire Temple!"
"You made me carry both of your heads... I give up!"
"I told him not to act on his own!"
[Looking at that loud and boisterous slideshow.]
Nagato paused, then asked, "Whose?"
"I think his name is something like Jiraiya!"
Nagato was about to speak.
The projection then complained, "Damn it!"
"So that's why Kakuzu suddenly went to the Fire Temple, it turns out it's the Land of Fire..."
[He rambled on and on, and Nagato was about to interrupt him.]
[The lantern-shaped figure suddenly said, "No wonder Kakuzu was in such a hurry! It turns out that besides the head of this Jiraiya, there's another head worth thirty-five million taels!"]
"Ouch, that hurts so much to kill this guy!"
"But the evil god will probably be very happy, with a sacrifice of thirty-five million taels above his head..."
