The next day…
‘’Naruto .. Oee Naruto?’’ call Yahiko in a slightly high tone.
Naruto frowned and opened his eyes.
The deg!
He immediately got up when he saw that there were so many Amegakure shinobi besieging inside the cave.
‘’A-What happened?’’ ask Naruto.
‘’We don't know either. When I woke up, they were already here first. So, I woke up Yahiko and Nagato,’’ Konan replied.
‘’But since we feel threatened. You can fall asleep like that,’’ Yahiko said.
Naruto put on a tense face then looked towards his stomach.
Oee Kurama, why didn't you wake me up? Now we are surrounded by dattebayo, Naruto said in his heart.
They didn't do anything while you were asleep. So, I didn't wake you up and just monitor them.
The four children looked back at the dozens of Amegakure shinobi.
‘’Are we going to die here?’’ ask Konan.
‘’You guys take cover behind me. If they attack, I will protect you, then we will escape,’’ Nagato said.
However, dozens of shinobi split the two forces to open the road. The four children stared at a man who had appeared from the entourage earlier.
‘’Di-Dia?’’ look at the four children.
The man wearing the gas mask squinted his eyes.
‘’Hm~ Naruto stop your Henge Jutsu by imitating Hanzo-sama,’’ Yahiko said.
‘’Eh? I'm here dattebayo. How can I use that style?’’ ask Naruto.
‘’We will not be fooled again,’’ Konan said.
‘’I heard you guys have a protege from one of Konoha's Legendary Sannins, Jiraiya,’’ Hanzo said.
"It's just Bunshin, right? Just throw it with the kunai" Yahiko said.
‘’He is not missing. Means he is the real Hanzo-sama,’’ Yahiko said.
Hanzo frowned. ‘’Indeed I am the original. What do you mean say like that?’’
The three children immediately prostrated except Naruto who was still standing wide. Yahiko told her to kowtow so that this man in front of her was not offended.
‘’Moushiwake arimasen Hanzo-sama, because of our sassness earlier,’’ said Yahiko represented.
‘’Are you really Jiraiya's proteges?’’ ask Hanzo.
The three children looked at each other before finally nodding.
‘’Then I want you to join my squad.’’
The deg!
The three children gasped at Hanzo's words, especially Naruto. Of course, for a still innocent child like Yahiko, he accepted the offer easily.
Unlike Naruto who is still staring at Hanzo with a serious face.
Hanzo reached out and was reciprocated by Yahiko. ‘’You will get training from seniors before making your own troops.’’
‘’We understand. Hey Konan, Nagato, Naruto, isn't this a golden opportunity for us? Hanzo-sama came over and invited us to join his army,’’ Yahiko's delight.
At that time Nagato said that Yahiko who is the leader of Akatsuki began to be glimpsed because their organization is famous. Hanzo who heard the rumors began to approach them, and that was the beginning of the misfortune of the three of them. Hanzo waited for time to kill Yahiko and destroy all the Akatsuki members, Naruto said in his heart.
‘’Oee Naruto, are you too happy to be speechless? What are you waiting for?’’ tanya Yahiko walked away.
Naruto just smiled stiffly and looked back at Hanzo who started walking away followed by the three children.
Their meeting should have been a long time ago, but now it has happened. Is this because there was an intervention from me so that the flow of time changed? Everything that happens in the future, is accelerated to this time, Naruto said in his heart.
He just stared at the backs of the three children in front of him as he walked.
Hanzo is a cunning man, until he teams up with Danzo to eliminate Akatsuki. Ka—
Naruto stopped his footsteps as he realized something. He recalled the incident where Yamato had violently cleansed him for the sake of his master's orders.
At that time Naruto knew who the master figure Yamato meant was given the order to finish him off.
Danzo ... He's the guy. Why did I forget, Naruto said in his heart.
