Hokage: This Naruto is strong but too cautious

Naruto and Tiantian walked halfway with their arms, only to meet Xiao Li who came to support them.

Seeing Naruto's weak appearance, Xiao Li hurried over to carry him on his back.

"Then Luduo, have you also met enemies?"

"Yeah, a rain ninja betrayed ninja, almost finished playing. Why did you come here?"

Recalling the battle just now, Naruto and Tiantian still have lingering fears.

"There was also a rebellious attack on the hut. Kai Sensai asked me to meet you. He is fighting the enemy. Are you not injured?"

Naruto smiled weakly.

"No, just to kill that guy, Chakra consumption is a bit high."

"Ok?"

Xiao Li turned his head in surprise and asked:
"Then Ludo, you killed the enemy?"

"Yeah, if I don't kill him, we will be the ones who die."

Naruto has experienced the cruelty and cold-bloodedness of the ninja world.

Xiao Li walked forward quickly with his back on his back, and asked suspiciously:

"This is within the territory of the Fire Nation, why would there be rebels attacking us?"

Naruto's eyes shone with an inexplicable brilliance.

"Hehe, then we have to ask our dear Uncle Inoue."

When they approached the hut, they heard the sound of Emperor Kai and the twins fighting fiercely from a distance, and the three hurriedly hid in the dark to observe quietly.

As a partial ninja who can only practice taijutsu, Xiao Li was fascinated by the fierce battle of the three taijutsu masters. Every move seemed to be imprinted in his head. He was fascinated by such a rare opportunity to observe actual combat.

Looking at the trend of the battle on the field, Emperor Kai was not under much pressure, and Naruto didn't pay too much attention. His body has recovered a little, and he can act on his own.

"Tiantian, you and Li are here to guard, I'll take a detour back to the hut first."

"Is your body okay?"

"Well, it has recovered a lot, don't worry!"

He explained to Tian Tian, ​​quietly walked around behind the hunter's hut, and got in through the window.

It was obviously an ordinary escort mission, but it attracted sneak attacks from rebels, and there were even strong men like Yunyin Gemini.

This reminded him of the mission of Naruto and the others in the original plot, Saburo Inoue must have concealed something.

He wants to ask him now, wrong information is too fatal for ninjas.

For an incident like the Renegade attack tonight, the real difficulty of this task should be at A-level, and it is far less than the turn of a few of them to complete it.

Saburo Inoue was sitting at the door watching the battle outside, his face was still expressionless, but the constant rubbing of his hands revealed the tension in his heart.

"Uncle Inoue!"

Naruto reached out and patted him on the shoulder, the frightened Inoue Saburo jumped, and was relieved to see him when he turned around.

"You... when did you come back?"

Naruto sat beside him, avoiding the angle of the door, and said with a smile:

"Just now, Uncle, Tiantian and I met Rebel Nin and almost died in the woods!"

Saburo Inoue's body visibly tensed up when he heard the words, and he looked outside the room, not daring to meet Naruto's gaze.

"You... aren't injured, are you? You are Konoha's ninja. With such strength, it shouldn't be a problem to deal with rebellious ninja, right?"

Naruto saw his reaction in his eyes, and confirmed the guess in his heart. This old guy must have something to hide from everyone. This escort mission is not as simple as it seems.

"That's natural. I kicked that traitor into the air, and let him fall down on his head. The entire spine was broken into several pieces. He couldn't die anymore."

"If you dare to attack Konoha Ninja, you will bear the fate of death. Are you right, uncle?"

Saburo Inoue kept his sitting posture, responded a few words perfunctorily, took off his glasses and pretended to wipe them.

After listening to Naruto's vivid description, he seemed to smell a bloody smell, and a layer of sweat appeared on his forehead.

Naruto struck while the iron was hot, and continued:

"Uncle, there is one thing I can't understand. Why did we encounter a rebellious attack? Can you analyze it for me?"

Saburo Inoue put on his glasses with trembling hands, and an awkward smile appeared on his expressionless face, which was uglier than crying.

"That's a lot, I'm just an ordinary person, how could I know these things. Could it be that they are the enemies of Konoha, and they will attack any Konoha ninja they encounter?"

Naruto leaned forward, approaching Saburo Inoue, and asked:
"Then why did those rebels out there call you and take you away? How did they find us?"

"Uncle Inoue, can you explain to me?"

Saburo Inoue sat back in a panic, cold sweat dripping down his head.

"I...I...I don't know! Konoha sent you to escort me, and you must ensure that I will be delivered safely!"

Naruto chuckled, turned back and leaned against the wall, stared at him and said:
"Uncle, do you have something to hide from us?"

Inoue Saburo was startled, and suddenly looked up at him.

Naruto didn't wait for him to speak, and continued:

"It doesn't matter. The current situation is beyond the scope of C-level missions. I will persuade Kai Sensai to take us back to Konoha in a while."

"After all, we only have one life, and we have to learn to cherish it."

"You said yes, uncle?"

"Pfft!"

Inoue Saburo sat down on the ground, he finally took off his indifferent disguise, looked at Naruto and said in a panic:
"Don't! Don't go back to Konoha! There's no time!"

Finally let go.

Naruto was relieved, as long as Saburo Inoue opened his mouth, it would be difficult to keep a secret.

"Uncle, what do you mean you don't have time?"

"No... nothing interesting."

Saburo Inoue knew that he had slipped his words, so he wanted to pretend to be confused at this time.

"It's boring for you to do this. Because of your concealment, our lives are in danger. I want to blame you for this account!"

"Uncle Inoue! I need an explanation!"

Naruto stared into his eyes, with a fierce tone, Inoue Saburo was stunned for a while, sighed, and his whole body softened.

"The kingdom of gold is about to lose its hold..."

From Inoue Saburo's narration, Naruto finally knew the secret he was hiding.

It turns out that Saburo Inoue's hometown is the country of gold.

This small country, famous for its abundance of gold, has finally almost emptied its domestic gold mines after years of comfortable life in which gold was exchanged for asylum.

Once the source of gold is lost and the country of fire loses its protection, the country of gold located between the two big countries, the country of fire and the country of thunder, will inevitably become the core area of ​​war and disputes.

The purpose of Saburo Inoue's eagerness to return home was to help the Kingdom of Gold find new veins of gold mines.

In addition to the daimyos, the Kingdom of Gold also has a powerful Saito family. According to Inoue Saburo, these traitors are probably hired by the Saito family.

But why did the family prevent him from returning to save the country?
