Chapter 61
However, in reality, Naruto was never afraid of anyone else.
The reason he appeared at this time of peak customer traffic was naturally because he had sufficient reason.
Hunger was one aspect.
On the other hand, when Naruto planned to get some food, he happened to spot a figure entering Ichiraku Ramen.
Uchiha...Shisui.
"Naruto went to Ichiraku Ramen."
"Uchiha Shisui is also there, what should we do?"
In the shadows, the Konoha Ninja protecting Naruto had now become Gekko Hayate and Yūgao Uzuki.
It was naturally no problem for the two girls from the Hyuga Clan to visit during the day.
Because of resolving the Cloud Ninja Mission crisis, Naruto had already become a distinguished guest of the Hyuga Clan.
The Hyuga Clan would absolutely not do anything to harm Naruto.
But the current situation was completely different.
Uchiha Shisui, who had been secretly following Naruto earlier, was reassigned to the battlefield by Hokage-sama.
After eating this bowl of ramen, he was going to the border.
But at this very moment, Naruto also went over..."He wouldn't dare do anything in broad daylight," Gekko Hayate thought for a moment and said.
"That's true..."
Yūgao nodded slightly, but was still very worried.
No matter how strong a Ninja, he cannot withstand a backstab.
Naruto's strength was indeed very great, strong enough to take down a dozen Kumogakure Ninja.
But he did not know that Uchiha Shisui harbored murderous intent.
If Shunshin Shisui suddenly attacked, he would certainly be unable to defend himself.
Just as Yūgao was worrying..."He left?"
She and Hayate saw that Uchiha Shisui, who had just entered Ichiraku Ramen less than 2 minutes ago, suddenly lifted the curtain and left.
What the hell?
"There's no other way..."
Teuchi crossed his arms, looking troubled.
"How about this, since that customer just left in a hurry, this untouched bowl of ramen is on me for you!"
Teuchi immediately pushed the ramen in front of Naruto and flashed a cheerful smile.
"Thank you, Uncle ~," Naruto sat in his seat, returning a cautious and shy expression.
"That Uchiha guy doesn't seem to like you very much..."
Behind the sealing iron gate, the Nine-Tailedwatched the entire scene.
The cause was Naruto discovering Shunshin Shisui, and then entering Ichiraku Ramen.
After seeing Naruto, the other party thought for less than three seconds before deciding to give up the hot ramen and leave instead.
"You want to approach him? But he doesn't intend to acknowledge you... Hehe, you're putting a warm face on a cold butt, aren't you!"
The Nine-Tailed scoffed.
This was not Naruto's first encounter with Shunshin Shisui.
Back in the small forest, Uchiha Shisui also left at light speed.
The Nine-Tailed could guess what Naruto was plotting.
In fact, Naruto indeed intended to save the Uchiha Clan by contacting Uchiha Shisui.
After all, Uchiha Shisui was the owner of the Mangekyo Sharingan.
He was also one of the top combat powers of the Uchiha Clan.
Kotoamatsukami was an absolute ultimate weapon.
To change the Uchiha Clan's tragedy, contacting Shunshin Shisui was absolutely fine.
"It's common sense not to put all your eggs in one basket..."
Naruto picked up his chopsticks, muttering to himself.
Two rejections proved that he was indeed not destined with Uchiha Shisui.
But saving the Uchiha Clan was never just one plan.
If Uchiha Shisui's path was blocked, he would take other routes.
For example... by contacting Sako, and then contacting her older brother, Uchiha Itachi.
This was something he was doing concurrently.
If he could persuade Itachi not to turn his blade on his own clan, it would also be a part of the plan to save the Uchiha Clan.
Of course, if even this path was blocked..."Then I'll give up on Uchiha Shisui, give up on Itachi, and rely on my own efforts, Uzumaki Naruto, to save the Uchiha Clan."
Thinking of the lovely Sako, and the beautiful Aunt Mikoto... them.
Naruto made up his mind to turn the tide... Half an hour later...
Naruto was walking home.
After a full day of Yin Release training, his body had grown stronger again.
As the current reincarnation of Ashura Chakra, once he found the right path, his training progress was incredibly rapid.
"As long as I continue training, I can keep getting stronger..."
Dreaming of the future, Naruto quickly returned to the vicinity of his residence.
At his doorstep, the dim street light cast a warm glow.
Under the street light, a familiar figure stood there.
"U ~ zu ~ ma ~ ki ~ Na ~ ru ~ to ~!"
Sako saw Naruto return, then turned around and greeted him with a very serious tone.
Her small face was taut, as if she was about to announce something important.
Naruto stopped, ready to hear her profound insights.
"From now on... I can't play with you anymore."
Sako said.
Then, she turned around, moved her legs, and strode away from there... Chapter 4. Naruto: Chasing Sako a Thousand Miles Ahead of Time
The next morning.
Uchiha Clan Compound.
A visitor arrived at Sako's house.
"Hello, is Itachi home ~?"
The sight of the peeking girl entered Uchiha Fugaku's eyes.
At first, Fugaku didn't recognize her, but he quickly recalled a scene from his memory.
"It's Hazuki's daughter..."
Uchiha Hazuki, who had married out, lost her husband during the Nine-Tailed Demon Foxs Attack. She then returned to the Uchiha Clan Compound with her daughter.
The little girl from back then had now grown into a graceful young woman.
What a beautiful child..."Itachi."
Fugaku called his son.
Itachi's slow footsteps echoed on the corridor under the eaves.
Watching his son talk to Hazuki's daughter, Fugakucouldn't help but feel a surge of emotion.
Did his son, who only knew how to train, finally have a lover?
The corners of his mouth couldn't help but curve slightly, then he turned and walked back into the living room.
Unlike the youthful atmosphere overflowing outside.
His lazy younger daughter, Sako, was walking out of her room with listless steps.
"..."
Looking at his daughter, who lacked proper posture, Fugaku couldn't help but frown.
It wasn't until Sako lazily washed up and put on her jacket... that Fugaku, as a father, finally couldn't stand it anymore.
"So sloppy, what kind of manners are those!"
The scolding low growl made Mikoto, who was bringing breakfast, freeze.
She quickly put down the things, pulled her daughter aside, and began to whisper.
"Sako, how could you make your father angry?"
Mikoto knelt down, her tone carrying a hint of reproach.
"Mom..."
Sako's eyes held some disappointment, and just as she was about to explain, she saw the clan girl who had entered the house with her older brother.
"She is..."
Sako remembered that when the Cloud Ninja Mission visited, this older clan sister and her brother stood together.
Is she her brother's girlfriend?
"Hello, Auntie!"
Uchiha Izumi greeted Mikoto respectfully.
Then, she looked towards Sako.
"Hello, I'm Uchiha Izumi."
"I'm Sako, hello!" Sako, who recovered her vitality from her slump in one second, quickly returned the greeting.
Compared to last time, there was something new about her.
It was a Ninja forehead protector.
This proved that she had become an official Ninja.
During breakfast, Sako curiously observed Uchiha Izumi... this clan member who might be her brother's girlfriend.
Perhaps, she might even become her sister-in-law in the future?
...After the meal.
