at the same time.

In the Hokage's office.

Kakashi Hatake, who was wearing a bamboo hat and a god robe, put down the pen in his hand helplessly and said: "Naruto, you have been motionless for fifteen minutes. Don't forget, you have to go to work before leaving get off work. Finish processing all documents."

Well, even though he said this, he could actually understand his disciple's feelings. Really, after the Fourth World War, he sat on this chair in front of this table for at least ten hours a day, and he often sat on this chair when he wasn't sitting here.

He has to sit in a conference room. In contrast, his exercise time and leisure time are severely compressed. It is no exaggeration to say that if he continues like this, he will definitely grow a belly quickly due to sitting for too long every day.

But there is no way. After the war, there is a lot of waste to be made. Even if he is capable enough, he still needs time to make up for it. Moreover, for the sake of Naruto's future, this is what he must do. Therefore, he can only work hard in his spare time.

Cheer up yourself——

Just be patient for a little longer, and after a while, everything will be completely on track.

But... after losing weight for so many years, I actually gained weight in this way, which is really dumbfounding. Well, this is really an "expensive and almost irreproducible way to gain weight."

"...No, Kakashi-sensei, I definitely didn't mean to take advantage of this this time." Naruto Uzumaki, who had been in a daze since just now, replied with a dazed expression.

"So," Kakashi Hatake asked, dumbfounded, "are you deliberately taking advantage of the situation before admitting it in disguise?"

"...That's not the point, Kakashi-sensei!" Uzumaki Naruto showed a very guilty expression for a moment, but then he once again focused his attention on the matter that had just made him daze, "The point is, I feel that I smell

It tastes like Sasuke..."

"...Huh?" Hatake Kakashi was stunned for a moment, and a drop of cold sweat fell on his forehead. "If you say...that you sensed Sasuke's chakra, I can barely understand it." He sensed it a little at the moment he spoke.

Next, making sure that he didn't perceive anything, "But the smell... are you a dog?"

"No, no, no," Uzumaki Naruto shook his head, "I didn't sense Sasuke's chakra either, but! I feel like I did smell his scent! He may have sneaked back behind our backs!" At this point,

A bright smile appeared on his face, "Great! Sasuke is back in Konoha!"

"...Are you sure it's not an hallucination caused by your excessive longing?" Kakashi Hatake said helplessly, "Kyuubi, what do you think?"

The next second, an orange fox head appeared behind Uzumaki Naruto. It twitched its nose and sniffed, and then showed a puzzled expression: "Sorry, Naruto, I didn't sense anything... Of course.

, maybe it’s because that kid deliberately restrained his chakra..." Now one of them and one fox can be said to have the same mind, and Kyuubi clearly knows that his Jinchuuriki is not lying.

Hatake Kakashi couldn't help but raise his forehead because this was such an unreasonable intuition.

But at the same time, he also knew three things clearly -

First, the disciple’s intuition is sometimes too good to be true;

Second, the disciple has never been unreasonable when it comes to Sasuke;

Thirdly, under the current situation, even if Naruto were forced to stay here, he would definitely not be in the mood to continue working.

So...

He dragged his chin with his hands on the table, sighed, and said helplessly: "Fifteen minutes, Naruto. I'll give you fifteen minutes. If you can't prove 'Sasuke returns to the village' within this time,

, you have to come back to me and continue working honestly, is that okay?"

"oh!!!"

After receiving the permission, Uzumaki Naruto suddenly showed a brighter smile, and then once again showed his nature of "ninjas never take the ordinary path" and jumped directly from the window of the Hokage's office.ωωw..net

Hatake Kakashi: "..."

Bad boy.

but……

In this matter, he may also be able to understand.

After all, that is a living Uchiha, that is a Uchiha who has returned to the village, an Uchiha who has finally been looking forward to coming back.

Who wouldn't be overjoyed by this?

The Uchiha people are like the wind that cannot be caught. It seems that they can catch it for a second, giving people the illusion of happiness; but the next second, they will leave cruelly and ruthlessly with a "whoosh"

.

Such behavior seems to be saying——

Oh, are you a fool? You actually want to catch the wind.

Yes, who can do it?

Unless this wind is willing to wrap around people's fingertips.

But who can be so lucky?

He didn't have it himself, but he hoped that Naruto could have it.

The other side.

Due to limited time, Uzumaki Naruto unfolded the "Nine-Tails" behind him without hesitation, used its sharp claws transformed from chakra to grasp the eaves of the high places, and quickly rushed over the entire village, keeping his head down.

Checking, looking for any "suspicious target"——

No other proof is required.

As long as he sees Sasuke, no matter how he is dressed, he will definitely recognize him with just one glance!

The heroes of the Fourth War running around the village looked like they were being carried away by orange foxes. Fortunately, after the Fourth War, the people in the village gradually got used to this, so although it caused some commotion, it was not a big problem.

.On the contrary, there were some children who were not too sensible or who had just entered school. They looked at Uzumaki Naruto who was "flying around" in the air with envy, and said "Wow——" in their mouths, and even smiled a little.

applauded.

In the process...

Haruno Sakura was opening the window to get some air: "Hey? Naruto, Naruto...?"

Hinata Hinata, who was standing at the door of the knitting shop and was about to go in, subconsciously raised her head: "Naruto-kun...what are you doing..."

Ino Yamanaka, who was standing at the door of the flower shop, grabbed a handsome white-skinned guy by his collar and yelled with a grumpy face, "Are you here to buy flowers or are you here to cause trouble?" When he saw this scene, he let out an "ah" sound.

Unconsciously, I let go of the person in my hand.

Sai took two steps back, straightened his collar, raised his hand and put it on his forehead, looked at it, and said with emotion: "When it comes to looking cool, Naruto is the best, he's so handsome~~~"

"Ugh——!!!" The blond girl suddenly showed a disgusted expression - a gay guy among gays!

And much, much more…

But not all gazes are doubtful, kind or neutral, for example...

"Tsk." The old man stood at the window and said with a gloomy face, "It's really outrageous! He is obviously trying hard to learn how to be a Hokage, but he wanders around the village without dignity. How did Kakashi teach him?

!”

This sound came from inside the house——

"Well, well, after all, no one taught me until I grew up like this, so it's natural that I don't know etiquette."

"So, if a family that understands etiquette accepts him, then everything should be fine, right?"

"That's what you said."

And under the gaze of everyone, seeing time passing quickly, Naruto Uzumaki, who was a little anxious in his heart, finally stopped being patient and stood directly at the highest point of the village and shouted -

"Sasuke!!!!!!!!!"

The entire village immediately resounded with Uchiha Sasuke's name.

Countless people instantly raised their heads and looked at the blond boy standing at the highest point of the village, putting his hands to his mouth and shouting loudly.

"..." Wearing a black cloak and a hood, Uchiha Sasuke, who carefully controlled his breath along the way and used illusions with chakra to confuse the perceptions of the people around him, stood still and showed an expression that was hard to explain.

He made sure he did it perfectly, so why?

Why would that Baga know that he is back?

Tsk.

That guy really does things that go against common sense and is always so "steady".

"Sasuke!!!!!!" Uzumaki Naruto continued to shout, "Don't pretend not to be there! I know you are back! Don't think that I can't feel it because you deliberately restrained your chakra! I know you are in the village! I smell it

I feel your taste!!!!!”

Uchiha Sasuke: "..." He subconsciously raised his hand, sniffed his body, and turned his head suspiciously to ask, "Is my body odor... serious?" He had heard that some people have body odor.

People themselves are unaware of this.

"...Where do you get your body odor?" The Uchiha belt also showed a speechless expression because of this sudden situation - for all the calculations, I never expected that Naruto-kun would cheat, it was simply outrageous. But she

It was the first time she answered her brother Miao's doubts, "Even if there is one, it's just a scent." Because she hugged someone to sleep every night, she could clearly feel that the boy's breath was a bit like ice-cold running water.

It has no taste and is slightly cool. Then, probably because I like eating tomatoes, it occasionally has a lovely sweet and sour flavor, less sour and more sweet, and it is sweet.

...I'm obviously someone who doesn't like sweets.

Well, it looks like you! Little tomato!

"So," Uchiha Sasuke asked, "how did that guy smell me?"

"...Who knows." Uchiha scratched her head, and then a bit of strange knowledge suddenly appeared in her mind. She said hesitantly, "It seems that some people with a particularly good relationship can smell each other's body, but others can't smell it.

Special taste? Well, maybe that’s the case.”
