"Does that mean... the Nine-Tails?" Naruto's expression was a little lonely. He still didn't know whether the rumor that he was the Nine-Tails was true.

Others in the conference room knew more or less about Naruto's experience, but they all had their own judgments and would not equate Naruto with the Nine-Tails like others did.

Kakashi, the only one who knew the inside story, patted Naruto on the back and comforted him: "Cheer up, Naruto. Although I don't know when the Third Hokage is going to announce it, I can tell you that you are definitely not the Nine-Tails. You are Konoha's Uzumaki Naruto."

He lowered his head to calm down his emotions, and Naruto quickly recovered and looked up at the sky.

In the Hokage's office, the Third Hokage smoked silently, thinking with a little guilt on his face: 'It shouldn't be hidden for much longer. Find a time to talk to Naruto, and Danzo, I can't let you do whatever you want. '

Thinking of the last, the Third Hokage looked out the window with a sharp look. He has been a good man all his life, and he is ready to deal with some past mistakes in this turbulent situation.

Namikaze Minato also felt guilty, but he had prepared himself mentally when he sealed the Nine-Tails, so he calmed down quickly.

Kushina just felt sorry for Naruto.

Shion looked at Naruto on the sky and murmured, "Are you the same as me..."

["By the way, did anyone understand what Ashio said?"]

["It's a bit confusing here. If someone breaks free from the prophecy, the miko will die, which is understandable, but what does it mean that the prophecy depends on the mood of the person being predicted?"]

["So after the miko's prediction is activated, one person will definitely die. This ability is too useless."]

["What should we do now! The miko predicted her own death, who else can die for her?"]

["She's very lonely, so she's like this Is this so willful? "Naruto sighed, and Ashiho agreed with this statement: "Just as you said."】

【After confirming the reason why Shion was so willful, Naruto then cared about Ashiho beside him: "But are you okay, Ashiho-san? If you were predicted to die..."】

【"Our family has received an unreturnable favor from Shion-sama's mother. If I can protect Shion-sama, I am very happy to give up my life. As long as my mood does not change, my fate will not change." Ashiho's answer was also expected, so Naruto did not say anything more. 】

["Uh, Naruto should be worried about himself here, isn't he? Hasn't he been predicted to die?"]

["Maybe he feels safe as long as the miko dies, so he feels relieved."]

["From the character he shows, he is not the kind of person who would think about such things... Anyway, let's just watch it first, so as not to be slapped in the face later."]

"Lonely..." Naruto now knows better than his future self how bad this feeling is, after all, he has just gotten out of this state not long ago.

[The night faded away, the sun rose again, Naruto stood up with his spirits up: "Okay! Brother Ashiho, let's go!"]

[Turning around, he saw Shion standing behind him. Thinking of Ashiho's words, Naruto no longer rejected her too much: 'Her character is so stubborn because she is rejected by others. You should be a little gentler to her. ’】

[Thinking inwardly, Naruto smiled and greeted Shion: "Hey! Good morning!"]

[But Shion didn't look at him well. She turned her head away and ignored Naruto's gesture, and said to Ashiho: "Ashiho, that's enough, go back to the village."]

[Ashiho would of course not obey this order, so Shion deliberately said unpleasant words to ridicule him, but Naruto couldn't stand it: "Your willfulness should have a limit. Do you know how Ashiho-san is protecting you?"]

["You predicted it, didn't you?" Ashiho said to Shion with a normal expression: "It's okay, please tell the truth."]

[Knowing that it can't be concealed Shion answered calmly: "When my heartbeat quickens and I hear the bell, I can see the future. Then I saw your future last night. If you continue to follow me, you will die, Zuho."]

["Didn't Shion see herself when she predicted it? How can you say that Zuho will die?"]

["Could it be that she predicted it again later, and then she thought that she was going to die anyway, so she just drove Zuho back to save her life."]

Shion knew the reason. She pursed her lips and looked at Zuho. After hesitating for a moment, she opened her mouth and said: "Zhuho..."

"Lady Shion." Zuho interrupted Shion's words calmly, then bowed and said: "Just asThe me on the sky said, as long as I can protect Shion-sama, I don't mind even if I have to sacrifice myself, because sealing the monsters requires Shion-sama's power, and everything we do is worth it. "

Hearing this, Shion's eyes became a little dim: "Yes... For this world... I must live..."

[The group continued on their way, and Ashio's figure had disappeared from the screen.]

[Ningji changed the route and went forward by water, but Shion thought this road was too dangerous and kept struggling behind Sakura. Several people had to stop and listen to Neji explain his tactics: "This route to the Swamp Country has abundant water sources, and the enemy's linked attacks are centered on fire escape."]

[As a teammate, Xiao Li knows Neji best and immediately understood what he meant: "I see, no matter what kind of fire escape technique is used to attack, you can use water veins to counterattack."]

["Shion-sama, if you pass this place, the sealed shrine is just around the corner. Please be patient for a while. "Ningji's words were quite pertinent, and Shion had nothing to say.]

[Seeing this, Neiji emphasized the mission again: "This mission is mainly to protect important people, pay attention to strengthening defense, and prohibit arbitrary behavior, especially Naruto!"]

["I know!" Naruto made a careless promise, and then asked with a confused expression: "By the way, what does [Poison Rice Ball First] mean?"]

["What?" Shion turned her head and looked at Naruto for a moment, and after confirming that he was not joking, she concluded: "Your companion is an idiot..."]

["Yes..." Sakura reluctantly confirmed.]

["Puff! No wonder the front completely disobeyed orders, this guy doesn't even know what arbitrary behavior means!"]

["How do you take cultural courses in Konoha?"]

["I understand why only this guy is still a Genin, he must have failed the written test."]

["Hahaha! Naruto seemed to have said before that he wanted to be a Hokage, but he can't be a Hokage with this level of education!"]

Having his weakness clearly pointed out, Naruto immediately argued with sweat all over his forehead: "Don't underestimate me, I'm not stupid! Being arbitrary means... that's it, being alone... to cover the rear, to act exclusively! Yes! That's what I mean!"

Sasuke looked at Naruto with disdain: "...Super idiot."

Kakashi tilted his head and scratched his hair: "...Naruto, why don't you go back to the Ninja School to make up for your cultural studies."

"!! No! No!"
