Don't be so outspoken, Yashamaru, relax, relax...

Although Naruto knew nothing about Sunagakure Village's decision to spend money to eliminate disasters, Yashamaru's overly humble tone and attitude were still enough to let Naruto know that the other party had obviously misunderstood his group too much. Intention.Furthermore, in order to avoid unnecessary complications, he shook his head in confusion and reached out to pat Yashamaru's shoulder again.After a slight pause, he shrugged and replied jokingly.

Yes, just as you guessed.This time I came to Sunagakure Village, it is true that I did not come here to escort the caravan... However, in terms of the results after achieving the real goal, in addition to not causing any loss to your Sunagakure Village, it can be regarded as a lot of benefits. right.

well?In other words, your true intention is... good for our Sunagakure Village...?this……

The person in front of me didn't just follow Huantou Shi's mouth and start extorting money.Instead, the way he calmed himself down solemnly caused Yashamaru to rely on common sense and rationally conclude that the strange man in front of him, whom he had never met before, was definitely deceiving him.But between reason and unexplainable intuition, I had a vague feeling that what the person in front of me said was true.He couldn't help but frown slightly and murmured to himself in a low voice, falling into the dilemma of whether to believe what the person in front of him said, or to still choose to question without knowledge and continue to ask about the other person's target needs.

Well, are you still hesitating... Well, yes, it is indeed a bit difficult to ask you to believe me all of a sudden.

Seeing that the person in front of him was still hesitant, but his eyes were erratic, and there were obvious signs that his heart was beginning to waver, the smile in Naruto's eyes couldn't help but grow stronger.Then, after thinking for a moment, he extended the palm that was gently tapping Yashamaru's shoulder a little longer, and smoothly hooked Yashamaru's shoulder again.While people were instinctively surprised, he raised his head and focused his gaze on himself, then slowly raised his free hand, raised his index finger, and smiled and waved it in front of people's eyes.

How about this?To show my sincerity, I can tell you my goal of arriving in your village this time... No, right there, that good boy you have been watching for a long time...

Good boy...you mean, Gaara-sama? !

Naruto's remarks that he did not follow the routine at all caused Yashamaru's expression and movement to inevitably pause slightly.After a long moment of silence, his thoughts suddenly changed, and he quickly deduced that Naruto's true target was Gaara through the obvious hints given by Naruto's words.Then, before Naruto could finish his prepared explanation, he screamed and objected out of his own instinct to protect his calf.

no!Absolutely not!Can't!

Hey, hey, I haven’t said what it’s for yet, it’s no good, no, is it necessary to have such an exaggerated reaction...

As a jinchūriki of the Nine Lamas, and all the inhuman unfair treatment he has received since his birth, Naruto has his own unique method of identifying whether other people's words are sincere or just fake.Furthermore, after seeing the funny look of Yashamaru exclaiming, not only did he not show the slightest trace of a mocking smile.On the contrary, after seeing the worried, angry and hostile look in Yashamaru's eyes, he relaxed further and started teasing and joking seriously.

At any rate, I should be considered to have played a big role in Gaara being able to make new friends~ In other words, even if you say no now, my goal has already been almost achieved. .

well?make friends?Purpose?

Naruto's unpredictable style, which could not be predicted by common sense, made Yashamaru raise his eyebrows in confusion, always vaguely feeling that he was being led by the other party.Furthermore, before seeing Naruto's openness and openness in telling the truth directly, not only did he not relax and calm down as Naruto expected.On the contrary, because Naruto's previous target was Gaara, Yashamaru was worried that Naruto would be harmful to Gaara, so he became more and more vigilant.

I came all the way from the Konoha Ninja Village to the Sunagakure Village, but the purpose was just to help Gaara-sama make friends... I don't remember that there was ever a fight between Gaara-sama and the ninjas of the Konoha Ninja Village. What an intersection.No matter how stupid I am, I won't believe this kind of lame reason that has no benefit to the Konoha Ninja Village, right?Rather than joking in a roundabout way, you should be frank and say it directly and give your price.

ha?I've made it very clear... Oh my god, these days, doesn't anyone believe the truth?Or should I say that I have to put forward a lot of difficult conditions to you based on your own conjectures and in a villainous tone, so that it is consistent with common sense and can make you feel at ease?

After seeing how Yashamaru still failed to completely relax his vigilance towards him from beginning to end, Naruto couldn't help but feel a little helpless and decadent in his heart.Immediately, while responding in a weird manner, he deliberately showed a vicious look and bared his teeth and claws.After pausing for a while, he finally couldn't hold back the doubts that came out of his instinct, so he deliberately moved closer to Yashamaru's ear and whispered in a low voice.

Now, let me say, Yashamaru...could you be a...suffering from persecutory delusions?

ha……?Paranoia?Shake that... what does that mean?

Although the words spoken in Naruto's mouth contained strange words that he had never heard before.But from Naruto's slightly distorted and funny facial expression, as if he was trying hard to suppress his laughter, Yashamaru was keenly aware that this was probably not meant as a compliment.Then, when instinct asked in surprise, he did not forget to decisively add a sentence of denial under the urging of instinct.

How could I have something that I have never heard of.

oh?Really... Well, let's not mention this for now. Since you don't believe me, you must believe Gaara after all, right?

While deliberately lengthening his tone, Naruto kept looking up and down Yashamaru's figure meaningfully.It wasn't until Yashamaru felt inexplicably uncomfortable under Naruto's gaze that Naruto took the initiative to put the topic aside.While raising his free hand and placing it in front of his mouth like a trumpet, without waiting for Yashamaru to respond, he shouted loudly and carelessly.

Hello!You're almost tired of playing, Gaara?Look here!Someone is coming to pick you up!

Well?No matter how tired I am, I can still continue playing...ah——!Yakshamaru!

As Naruto's words came out, Gaara, who had just been regrouped and was eager to prepare for another round, couldn't help but take action.Instinctively, he turned his head slightly and looked in the direction of Naruto and Yashamaru. After seeing the belated figure of Yashamaru, he shouted excitedly in response.While gently kicking the football at his feet to the child next to him, he took advantage of the situation and opened his short legs, swaying and running quickly.After he was close enough to Yashamaru, he slightly bent his legs to gather strength, and jumped directly into Yashamaru's arms with a smile on his face.

Yakshamaru!I...I made friends!I really made friends!Look, look!They are not afraid of me now!

Hmm, I saw it, Gaara-sama did a great job... Uh-oh——!Slow down...slow down, Gaara-sama!Slow down...ah?

After seeing Gaara's small figure running quickly, Yashamaru immediately didn't bother to ask Naruto what he meant by his words.While fearing that Gaara would accidentally fall to the ground, he bent down a little in advance and opened his arms to Gaara.On the other hand, because of Gaara's many unintentional hurtful actions in the past, he was mentally prepared to be attacked by Gaara's sand, which has automatic defense capabilities.But unexpectedly, he saw with his own eyes the little guy running towards him, jumping up and down, until he was firmly held in his arms, and then he could clearly feel the long-lost soft warmth of the person in his arms. When I touched it, I had never been automatically attacked by the sand that protected Gaara like before!

No... attack...?What... is going on... Lord Menma!Is it possible that this is also because of you...? !

The obvious powerlessness felt like a punch hitting cotton made Yashamaru open his mouth for a moment as if he had lost his soul, and stood there with a dull look on his face.Then he recalled Naruto's lame excuse remarks before, which gradually gained some credibility. Because of the obvious changes in Gaara, he couldn't help but add the honorific "sama" again. .

Shhh... didn't I tell you that you don't need to add that extraneous title of alienation?

After seeing the shocked look on Yashamaru's face and the inadvertent, sincere words of awe that came out of his mouth from instinct, Naruto was able to confirm that Yashamaru had gradually believed what he said.As a result, he no longer worried about how to explain to Yashamaru so that Yashamaru could believe what he said. He raised his hand with a crooked eye and a smile in front of Yashamaru.Facing Gaara's smiling gaze, he successfully covered Gaara's little head without any hindrance.And with Gaara's cute and coquettish look like a kitten, docilely nuzzling his palms, he gently rubbed and stroked her.He paused for a moment while speaking, and then reorganized his thoughts.He did not choose to give Yashamaru a direct affirmative answer, but responded with a warm and teasing tone.

Now you are finally willing to believe that I am not the slightest threat to Sunagakure Village. I came to Sunagakure Village just like you, for the sake of Gaara and to want Gaara to make friends!

Ah, although it is a bit unbelievable... But now it seems that it is indeed the case... I was always suspicious before, so I am really sorry, Menma-kun... No, Menma-kun.

With eyes full of surprise, he witnessed with his own eyes that Naruto's palm touched Gaara's little head easily, and Gaara not only showed no sign of resistance, but actually enjoyed it quite a bit.All kinds of bad developments were born out of rational thinking in Yashamaru's mind.Finally, after the emotion took over, it completely dissipated.Immediately, the tense muscles on his face quickly relaxed, and he couldn't help his curious thoughts, and asked Naruto softly.

By the way, what does the... of the bar mean...?

Um?Ah, um... well, it's nothing. It's just a strange oral habit that tends to come out when I'm emotional... It's a little problem I inherited from my mother. I guess I won't be able to get rid of it in this life. That’s right!

Hearing Yashamaru's sudden question, even Naruto, who had thought of dozens of possible follow-up dialogue developments, couldn't help but pause slightly for a while.Then, feeling embarrassed, he took his palm away from Gaara's little head, shrugged with a smile, and responded half-jokingly and half-seriously.

I see... It seems that Menma-kun attaches great importance to the connection with his parents?

After seeing Naruto's vaguely proud expression as he explained carelessly.Recalling the tense and cold father-son relationship between his brother-in-law and Gaara, Yashamaru couldn't help but shake his head and sigh, and sighed sincerely.

Speaking of which, your parents must always be by your side and always love and care for you, right?

Hiss...it's really hard not to lift the pot...if they were still with me, how could I have the chance to leave the village...

After hearing Yashamaru's words, Rao Shi knew clearly in his heart that the other party was subconsciously speaking unintentionally because he didn't know his life experience.But it was inevitable that the scars would be uncovered by the person in front of him, which made his heart sting. At the same time, his tone also changed from a carefree and carefree look to a lot lower in an instant.Immediately, in order to avoid being caught by the person in front of him, which would be enough clues to discover his true identity, he responded vaguely and casually.

Uh...ahem...well, but...you can put it this way...

Of course, the fatal blow triggered by Yashamaru's blurted words caused a huge psychological impact.Naruto was in a daze, but he forgot... even if he wanted to deliberately conceal his true identity.Previously, just to look cool, I had a moment of pleasure.In addition, because Gaara is still young, he probably doesn't pose much of a threat.In front of Gaara, I told my real name without reservation...

Now, that...well...

Um?What's the matter, Gaara, what's the matter?

No, no, while Naruto and Yashamaru were talking to each other, they were talking as if no one else was around.Gaara, who was quietly and obediently nestled in Yashamaru's arms, his eyes became more and more confused.Then he pursed his lips and hesitated for a while, finally unable to suppress the curiosity in his heart, he stretched out his fleshy little hand and gently tugged at the hem of Naruto's clothes.Then he met the doting gaze of Naruto who was unaware that the crisis of identity exposure had quietly come. While tilting his head slightly, he did not realize at all how important it was to know the little secret of Naruto's real name and that it needed to be kept secret and not easily leaked. , continued in a milky voice.

Hmm...Menma and all...Why would Yashamaru call you that?

Isn't your name Uzumaki Naruto?

Naruto: ...Let me think about it, how many times have I shot myself in the foot?

System: System prompts, player beeps...

Naruto: Shut up!Stop talking, I don’t want to know——!
