Chapter 450

[“It’s great that we found the area so quickly. After all, the area was just cleared by the Shinra Tensei of the Heavenly Path, and most people are still waiting for rescue in the ruins.”]

[“Naruto’s answer is a bit self-evident. His problem is only between him and Jiraiya, but for other Konoha ninjas, most of the problems are solved when the enemy is solved. Who would care about what the enemy on the battlefield has encountered in the past?”]

[“I suddenly realized why Naruto spoke up for Wuwei and Wuque in the Ghost Lantern City. It’s because of this It's a one-time experience."]

["When the original goal was to become Hokage, you only needed to consider your companions, but when Naruto's goal became peace in the ninja world, even the enemies had to be taken into consideration, right?"]

["As the child of prophecy, this behavior is indeed remarkable, but is this still a normal person? As long as you are a human, you will have your own likes and dislikes. Don't you feel tired if you consider others in everything?"]

Nagato's face was a little tense. He didn't understand what Naruto was thinking.

Why should he consider him? What qualifications does he have to be treated like this? And what qualifications does Naruto have to treat him like this?

They are enemies! Just fight and decide the winner, everything else is meaningless!

【"What's the point of talking! He is an enemy of Konoha! His crime is unforgivable!" Yamanaka Inoichi refused to give in. Naruto immediately said, "Me too! I think so too! We must not let go of the guy who hurt Master, the village, and everyone like this!"】

【"So..." Yamanaka Inoichi wanted to continue persuading, but Nara Shikaku suddenly stopped him with his hand: "Inoichi, just do as Naruto said and let him go alone."】

【"Shikaku, you..." Yamanaka Inoichi couldn't believe it. Nara Shikaku explained, "It was Naruto who stopped Pein. He is qualified to talk to Pein, and he has his own ideas."】

【Although Yamanaka Inoichi didn't understand this decision, with Nara Shikaku's insistence, Naruto still got the opportunity to talk to Nagato alone. 】

["Naruto's words are incoherent. He doesn't want to forgive, but he thinks killing the enemy won't solve the problem. Could it be that he wants Nagato to admit his mistakes and make up for the damage done to Konoha in other ways?"]

["Let's see how his conversation with Nagato goes. Let's see how his peace can convince Nagato, himself and other people in Konoha."]

["It's not known what Naruto's philosophy is, but his strength has definitely been recognized by everyone. Even Nara Shikaku, the captain of the jonin class, has to consider this."]

["Naruto is now the hero who saved Konoha. Everyone in Konoha should give him some face."]

[Watching him leave, Nara Shikaku recalled a conversation he had with Shikamaru before. 】

【"Ask me where I went. I went to preach to Naruto and told him not to be depressed... It was troublesome, but his feet moved by themselves."】

【"That guy has something that no one else has... One day, he will definitely become a very important ninja in the village... When you are with him, you will unconsciously... want to go on with him."】

【The son who never praised anyone said this, and Nara Shikaku, who was always calm, began to have expectations for Naruto: "Anyway... leave it to Naruto."】

["Oh, so there is Shikamaru involved."]

["Ah! That's so corny. What's wrong with you people in Konoha? You say such things as you please."]

["Tsk, Naruto, this guy, really doesn't care about men or women, and it seems that there are more boys who are entangled with him than girls. , Sasuke, Gaara, Timothy, and now Shikamaru, and Neji has some clues. ”]

[“Naruto just wants to be recognized by everyone, why do you have to associate something with it. Of course, I admit that what they say does sound a bit ambiguous and can be easily misunderstood, but maybe this is the tradition of Konoha, don’t assume that Naruto has any bad habits.” (Laughing with squinting eyes)]

[“Hahaha, I haven’t seen anyone make such a joke for a long time. Recently, the stories of Tianmu are getting heavier and heavier. It’s good to have more such remarks to relax. ”]

“Shikamaru, when did he become so cheesy? It’s really embarrassing to listen to him.”

In the convoy heading to the Snow Country, Naruto scratched his head a little shyly. A familiar partner’s frank approval made him temporarily forget the thorny question raised by Pein.

AndUnlike Naruto who lacks some common sense, Shikamaru, who is currently receiving Nara Shikaku's secret technique training at home, covered his forehead with a look of dismay after seeing his easily misunderstood speech on the sky screen.

"Damn dad, what are you thinking about? Your son is too embarrassed to go out and see people now!"

"Hehe, don't blame others casually. It's obviously what you said." Nara Shikaku felt a little amused, and then said earnestly: "Son, although your father I don't intend to interfere with your emotional life, but... it's better to find a woman. For men, the Nara family may not be easily accepted."

"Ah, what are you talking about! I'm not interested in men. Why do you involve me in such troublesome things!" Shikamaru shouted with a face of collapse, and then when he saw the teasing expression on Nara Shikaku's face, he realized that he was teased. He immediately put all his energy into the control of the shadow in shame and anger, ready to teach this old and disrespectful guy a lesson.

["I feel like Naruto has become a tool to be entrusted. Why do people want to entrust things to him?"]

["This is the role of the strong. The stronger the strength, the more expectations you have to accept. Naruto is eager to be treated like this."]

[Coming to the big tree where Nagato hides his true self, Naruto stood still for a moment to enter the Sage Mode, then tore off the disguise made of paper by Konan and came to the two of them. ]

["Heping is shamelessly here." Nagato stopped Konan who was ready to take action at any time, and sarcastically said to Naruto who was approaching. Naruto looked at his skinny body with black sticks stuck in his back, frowned and asked: "Are you Pein's true self..."]
