Naruto said: "I like you, which is a great thing."
"???" Konohamaru's eyelids twitched. He felt something was wrong but couldn't put it into words.
Sarutobi Hazuki burst out laughing, her eyes became crescent-shaped, and she covered her mouth and said, "Hong is right, you are such a cute kid."
"."
"Dingling bell~"
Two people dressed in red auspicious cloud costumes were slowly walking towards Konoha Village. One of them had a bell tied to his straw hat, which made some noises when he walked.
The thinner one slightly pulled up the brim of his hat and looked at his familiar hometown with a nostalgic look.
The sturdy Hoshigaki Kisame in the back said, "Mr. Itachi, do you want to go for a walk first or get down to business?"
Itachi's pupils suddenly turned red: "You go shopping first, I have some personal matters that need to be dealt with."
Sasuke hoped that none of this was true.
Chapter 69 The Person Giving Flowers
The sky was filled with dark clouds, making it hard to breathe.
Asma took a long puff of his cigarette beside the grave that had been cleaned overnight, and then slowly exhaled.
"Hoo~!"
The tombstone of the Third Hokage is in the same cemetery as the three deceased Hokage, not far away.
He stared at the sky for a long time, not knowing what he was thinking.
After a long time, he let out a long sigh: "Dad, don't worry, I will protect the Sarutobi family for you, and I will work hard to support Konohamaru to become Hokage in the future. As for me, I am not strong enough, and the senior management and Lord Jiraiya I will not be allowed to take power.”
"I'm sorry for failing to live up to your expectations."
Asuma put out the cigarette in his hand and slowly turned away.
It's time to return to the clan. My sister-in-law plans to ambush people. He is one of the important combat forces. He can't stay away for too long.
The sky was gloomy, with light rain falling in the air, and dozens of crows were circling and chirping in the air without knowing how to hide from the rain.
Around the corner of the cemetery, a man dressed very strangely appeared, wearing a straw hat to protect his head from the rain. Asuma had never seen such a person dressed in the nearly thirty years he had lived in Konoha.
It would be fine if it was under normal circumstances, but Konoha has been in a weak period recently, so he has to be cautious.
"Excuse me, who are you?"
"The one who presented the flowers."
The strange man in red auspicious cloud clothes spoke little. His voice sounded familiar, but I couldn't remember where I had heard it before.
It is even more worthy of vigilance.
Asuma frowned slightly, put his hands silently behind his back, grasped the chakra knife on his waist, and stared at the other party closely.
The other party did not pay attention to his actions and continued to move forward. Then he took out four bunches of wrapped chrysanthemums from his wide sleeves and placed them in front of the graves of the four deceased Hokage in turn. The Third Hokage was the last one.
It was also the one where he stayed the longest.
Asuma felt relieved when he saw that the other party had no hostility. "Friend, you are not from Konoha, right? Konoha is forbidden to enter or leave recently. How did you get in?"
The other party asked back: "I am not from Konoha, then where am I from?"
Before Asuma could think about his words, he added, "Asuma-senpai, I don't know if the Third-Hero has told you that I will never allow anyone to attack Sasuke."
"?" A question mark popped up in Asuma's mind first, and then he saw the other party lift the brim of his hat slightly, revealing a Sharingan that was as red as blood.
"You are... Uchiha Itachi!"
"Tsukuyomi!"
"."
Sarutobi family.
Naruto held Sarutobi Hazuki's flexible right hand, spread her right hand out, and rotated his index finger in Hazuki's palm.
But Ye Yue was not angry. Instead, she looked at Naruto with a smile and asked kindly, "How do you think my palm looks like, Naruto-kun?"
"Don't be impatient, let me touch you for a while."
"What did you say?"
"I said let me watch it for a while before I can see it."
Naruto looked extremely solemn, but from time to time some indecent words popped out of his mouth, making Ye Yue cover her mouth and chuckle.
She always felt that Naruto was a very kind kid, and it was easy for people to fall in love with him at first sight.
He has a more handsome appearance than the Fourth Hokage and an interesting personality like Lady Kushina. He is truly a lovable child.
"Uzumaki Naruto, stop showing your mother your palm and take a look at my palm too." Konohamaru came over, spread his hand between the two of them, and asked, "Take a look at whether I can be the Hokage."
"you can."
"really?"
"really."
Naruto's perfunctory answer made Konohamaru happily sit aside and smile happily, not caring that Naruto was still holding Hazuki's hand.
Ye Yue rested one hand on the table and looked at Naruto softly: "How is it, Naruto-kun, are you not satisfied yet?"
It might be inappropriate to touch him any further, so Naruto let go of her hand and said seriously, "Madam, I can see that you have a bad omen."
Seeing his serious face despite his nonsense, Ye Yue couldn't help but blink in amusement and asked him, "What is the omen and how to resolve it?"
"It's difficult!"
Naruto pretended to sigh deeply: "Madam, there will be many dangers around you in the future. Only I can protect you. Remember not to leave more than three meters away from me."
"Ah? Mom is in danger!" Konohamaru shouted in shock: "Uzumaki Naruto, I order you to protect my mother well, do you hear me?"
Ever since Naruto saved him last time, his affection for Naruto has greatly increased, so he did not doubt Naruto's words.
Naruto raised his head and said, "I promise to complete the tasks Master Konohamaru ordered."
Konohamaru proudly raised his waist and said to Hazuki: "Mom, did you see that Uzumaki Naruto listens to my words and must protect you."
"It's not polite. If you call me Naruto-nii, don't call Uzumaki Naruto again." Sarutobi Hazuki reached out and grabbed Konohamaru's ear to teach him.
Konohamaru grimaced in pain, "But I kept calling you Uzumaki Naruto."
"Brother Naruto." Ye Yue frowned slightly, her beautiful eyes contained a hint of majesty, and her voice was gentle.
Naruto almost accepted the call of brother.
Under the pressure from his mother, Konohamaru reluctantly lowered his head and called out, "Brother Naruto."
Ye Yue then let go of Konohamaru's ear and moved her body. Her plump, white legs under the kimono were slightly exposed from the hem of the skirt. When she was in a crossed position, the curve of her lower body was perfectly outlined on the kimono.
She yawned, her eyelids drooping slightly, "Naruto-kun, could you please take Konohamaru out for a walk? I'm a little tired and want to rest for a while."
"No." Konohamaru jumped out first: "Didn't Uzumaki Naruto-san just say that mom can't leave more than three meters away from him?"
Silly son, you really believe it.
Hazuki said helplessly: "But mom is sleepy and has to take a nap. We can't let Naruto-nii watch mom while she sleeps. Then he will be very tired."
Hearing this, Konohamaru scratched his head and fell into deep thought.
Naruto stood up and prepared to say goodbye to Hazuki. He had no intention of taking advantage of her any further.
Even if it is a young and innocent face that is hard to arouse vigilance, one must know when to stop. Indulging oneself in outward appearance will only cause the opposite effect.
But before he could even open his mouth, Konohamaru said something shocking:
"Then let Naruto-nii sleep with mom!"
Naruto silently gave Konohamaru a thumbs up.
Sarutobi Hazuki rewarded Konohamaru with a bamboo stick.
After cleaning up Konohamaru, Sarutobi Hazuki planned to go to bed. She was really sleepy, not pretending.
But at this time, another maid ran in hurriedly, and shouted in horror: "Madam, it's bad, Lord Asma has an accident."
The ninja who was guarding Konoha was hit by an illusion and fainted. Asuma was seriously injured and fell beside a cemetery. He was found and rushed to Konoha Hospital. His life or death was unknown at this time.
There are new invaders in Konoha.
One stone stirred up a thousand waves, and the news immediately spread within Konoha.

Chapter 70: Rainy Night
At night, Konoha Hospital.
In the brightly lit corridor, Naruto and Konohamaru were standing in the waiting area of the hall, sobbing quietly.
It was not until now that Konohamaru realized that his grandfather had died and his uncle was seriously injured and hospitalized. The little grandson, who had always prided himself on being the grandson of the third generation, was suddenly at a loss.
He subconsciously grabbed the corner of Naruto's clothes and looked up at the man who saved him.
"Brother Naruto, you will protect me and mom, right?"
"."
"Naruto brother?"
"I'll try my best if you don't make me angry." Naruto replied, turning his head to look at the heavy rain outside.
After all, he is just a naughty kid. He doesn't understand anything. It was taught by three generations of his family that he always comes to bother me.
Hearing Naruto's words, Konohamaru felt a little relieved: "Yeah, I will never make brother Naruto angry again."
As long as a child has someone to rely on, he will feel at ease. Konohamaru's expression was better than when he just heard the news of the third generation's death.
He followed Naruto quietly without saying a word.
