Chapter 215, Part 3
What are you doing?
On vacation.
Do you think I believe you?
My true form is indeed on vacation.
So, using clones doesn't count as work, right? Naruto, you should follow the doctor's orders and get some rest!
"I can't possibly recall all these clones at once, what can I do? Alright, alright, Shisui-kun, didn't I just assign you the most daunting task I was worried about? I believe in you."
[****! Why didn't you say so sooner that you knew what they were after!]
"I'm not sure. They were right behind us, and they didn't react whether the group was super relaxed or in danger. I don't even know what Xiao's mission was."
So you managed to infiltrate the team? Aren't you afraid of being exposed?
My other avatar has been observing them for a while now; they're potential recruits. Even after nearly going to jail, they haven't given up on their desire for us. They're real talent; we need to win them over.
[...there are two noble surnames in it.]
"What's wrong with nobles? As long as they hold firm to their beliefs, they are one of us. Our goal is a better world, uniting all who can be united. There are genuinely people in the nobility who care about the people; we can't deny them because of their surname. Brother Zhishui, your thinking is dangerous."
Okay, okay, you're the boss, you decide. So... what are you planning to do next? lure them into a trap?
"...If Itachi and the others don't make a move, we can't be the first to act. Let's just follow them for now."
But I can't go abroad with them! If I don't go back soon, Lord Fugaku will tear me apart!
"I should be at work by then, so I'll make sure they get home safely."
"Are you planning to take on the Akatsuki team alone? They're grouped up according to the setup for capturing Jinchuriki! This is too reckless, Naruto!"
〖......〗
"Stop playing dead! Or I'll tell Lord Hashirama!"
"Shisui-kun, don't you believe in my abilities? Besides, they never really meant me any harm, otherwise I would have guessed the mission details long ago. Please, don't you want me to have a peaceful vacation? Hashirama is right next to me; I asked him if I could still go out."
Just this once, just this once!
〖Alright! Shisui-ge is the best~〗
Shisui was devastated that he had inexplicably agreed to the concealment, but what could he do? No one could refuse Naruto.
"Big Brother Naruto!"
When the window was knocked on for the third time, Shikamaru felt a chill run down his spine. Naruto, seemingly quite normal, put down the file in his hand and looked out with a forced smile. A child with a topknot was grinning foolishly outside the window, still hanging upside down, with a short blue scarf tied around his neck.
"I popped the ball!"
The young Sarutobi kid firmly recognized Naruto as his older brother, showing good judgment and talent. It's just that the kid is too mischievous, and his formal training started late. Unlike his generation, who were already bloodthirsty and ruthless at this age. It seems their efforts have paid off.
Tobirama's smile became more genuine, but then he remembered that this was something Naruto hadn't told him to do, and his mood instantly soured. It seemed that the real Naruto had assigned the child a "New Year's mission" to ensure that the child wouldn't show up during the crucial period. However, plans don't always go as expected, and the child's "mission" was completed ahead of schedule.
Out of habit, Tobirama let the boy in and conducted a thorough examination. Children are at the age where they are most reckless, and many of them recklessly overexert themselves, taking advantage of their quick recovery to develop chronic illnesses. Therefore, he always pays extra attention to the children's health during training. What he found was shocking. The boy's hand meridians were severely overdrawn, clearly indicating that he had accumulated too much high-density chakra in a short period of time.
With a sour face, Tobirama squeezed the child's hand, and Konohamaru jumped up, but couldn't break free.
"Brother Naruto, what are you doing?!"
"You know pain, don't you? Why are you in such a hurry? Are you only satisfied when your hand is ruined?" Tobirama used the Palm Healing Technique with a cold face. As a Senju, healing this kind of injury was just commonplace for him.
Konohamaru's boastful attitude vanished instantly, replaced by a timid pout, resentful but not daring to argue back.
Tsk, they are obedient, but they only listen to half of it, which makes things even more troublesome.
〖exist?〗
"Huh? Tobirama-san, you actually came to see me on your own initiative? Have you been dealing with Konoha's official documents for too long and can't keep up?"
"...Konohamaru came to see you and said he popped a rubber ball."
"Oh? So fast! Why don't you try to soothe him and let him rest first?"
"Ha, that's what I thought too. Truly, they're all cut out for each other; their hands are practically worn out from practicing."
"...I'm not stupid...I have a strong recovery ability..."
Shut up.
〖oh.〗
"I've given you some emergency treatment. Now, go to the hospital right away for proper treatment. Rest for the next few days, and you can resume your cultivation once you've fully recovered."
"Ah!! I can do it!"
Poor Konohamaru immediately received a blow to the head, and Tobirama pressed down on him with a terrifying aura, "To the hospital, right now."
Konohamaru shuddered, his body stiffening, and he walked awkwardly, his hands and feet moving in unison.
"I never thought you'd have a bad temper," Shikamaru remarked, watching Konohamaru walk away, his eyes fixed on Naruto. He'd never seen Naruto lose his temper before, and honestly, it took courage for him to even make a sound right now; his aura was rather intimidating.
"Kids who take their youth for granted and don't take care of their health deserve to be taught a lesson." Naruto said this and sat back down to continue his work.
Being popular isn't all good; at least in situations like this, it can be a burden. And why do Naruto's friends all like climbing through windows? Is it just because they're ninjas?! His brother does it, Izuna does it, even Madara does it! There are doors left open, why climb through windows?!
Meanwhile, on the other side, the vacation team, which had taken three hours to reach their destination, finally got off the bus.
"I'm going to enter the city using Jinlun's identity."
Hashirama panicked for a moment, but quickly regained his composure. "This is probably... not good. Ever since Hui started stepping into the limelight, 'Golden Wheel's' whereabouts may be under the surveillance of various countries."
Naruto looked at him with a smile and asked, "'Golden Wheel' rarely leaves Beichen, and most countries probably don't even know who the leader of Lianhui is. Why am I being monitored?"
Hashirama felt himself sweating profusely. While he remained silent, Mikoto responded quickly.
"Because Hui's members all wholeheartedly endorse your beliefs and follow you fervently, someone will inevitably slip up your name during promotions."
Naruto could angrily confront these worrying elders, but he couldn't resist Aunt Mikoto's gentleness, so he could only let Uncle Hashirama go for the time being.
