Konoha: Doing good deeds can make you stronger

Chapter 66 Indebtedness

"Shikamaru, did you see it?" Naruto hid behind the door, still covering his eyes, not daring to look outside the door.

"Saw."

"Isn't it scary!"

"Is this the image of my father in your eyes?"

"Eh?"

Hearing Nara Shikamaru's eccentric tone, Naruto blinked strangely. Although he was still scared, but out of curiosity, Naruto finally summoned up his courage and poked his head out again.

Then, he saw two men who had been away for a full month.

"Uncle Shikaku! And, teacher!" The moment he saw Marutani Kou, Naruto immediately jumped up excitedly, sprinted directly at the boy, and rushed into Marutani Kou's arms, "Teacher! Come back La!"

Feeling the constant twisting of the boy in his arms, Marutani Kou touched Naruto's head, feeling deeply moved.

"Well, I'm back, good morning, Naruto."

"good morning teacher!"

"It's not morning at all!"

Shikamaru looked at the sky that had started to darken, and couldn't help but complain.

"Hahaha!" Nara Shikahisa laughed heartily a few times, and easily picked up Shikamaru on the ground with one hand.

"I miss you so much!"

"Hmph, I don't miss you."

Shikamaru blushed and looked away, but was completely stared at by Naruto.

"Shikamaru is shy!"

"I didn't!"

Yoshino Nara also heard the commotion in the yard and pushed open the door, and saw her husband, her usually stern eyes looked at her husband and son tenderly at this moment.

"I'm back."

"Welcome back."

The five of them had dinner together at Nara's house. The three members of Nara's family were whispering in the house, while Marutani Hang and Naruto stayed in the yard and fed the Gray Back Wolf King.

The gray-backed wolf king was obediently lying in the yard, carefully eating the food prepared by Yoshino Nara. Today, it kept Marutani Kou's reminder in mind along the way, and kept quiet all the time. Even if it couldn't help it, it just uttered It has a whispering voice, combined with its huge size, it seems quite inconsistent.

"Teacher, what is it?"

Looking at the giant wolf that had just scared him not long ago, Naruto gradually got used to the huge size, and stretched out his hand to gently stroke the other's soft hair.

"This is the Gray Back Wolf King, my friend."

"Friend?" Naruto's eyes jumped back and forth between Marutani Kou and the gray-backed wolf king, and finally fell on Marutani Kou with admiration, "The teacher's friend is so special, as expected of the teacher! It's amazing!"

"Hahahaha! As expected of me!"

Marutani Kou, who was praised, covered his mouth in embarrassment, blocking his wanton smile.

"By the way, how has it been during this period of time? Have you completed the task I entrusted to you?"

"Of course!" Naruto cheered up and patted himself on the chest, "Since the teacher left, I have done good deeds every day! I see, after a while, I will surpass the teacher and become a villager. The most popular person here!"

"Oh? Are you so confident?" Looking at the lively and cheerful Naruto, Marutani Kou also showed a gratified smile.

"Of course!" Naruto jumped into Marutani Kou's arms, enjoying the hug coquettishly, "And everyone won't avoid me anymore, and other children are willing to play with me."

"Is that so? That would be wonderful."

"Except for Sasuke!"

"Sasuke? What happened to him?"

Speaking of Sasuke, Naruto's emotions suddenly became agitated, and he began to complain very dissatisfied.

"Sasuke knew all day long that he would pretend to be handsome and not play with us! Shikamaru and I often pretended to be very busy when we went to play with him, but in fact he just wanted to go to the Hokage Building to peek at Itachi-san's work! That Sasuke is I'm sorry!"

"Then you don't want to play with him."

"Hmm~~~~~~" Naruto hesitated for a while, but still shook his head, "But every time I saw Sasuke, he was alone, looking very pitiful, I know that feeling, so I still want to play with him."

Marutani Kou smiled and patted Naruto's head.

"Come on, I believe Sasuke would be very willing to play with you, he's just shy."

"Ok!"

"Ow~~~"

The Gray Back Wolf King, who had been silently listening to the conversation between the two, suddenly yelled softly behind the two of them.

With a thought, Marutani Kou also noticed something strange.

"Naruto, you go in first, the teacher and others have something to talk about."

"Eh? Who? Where is someone?" Naruto looked around curiously, but found no trace of anyone.

"Looks like he was discovered." A man in black suddenly came out of the shadows behind the two, "Good evening, Naruto."

"Ah! It's Brother Itachi!" Naruto looked behind the man in black for an instant after seeing the appearance of the man clearly, but he didn't find Sasuke's figure, and immediately showed a disappointed expression, "Eh? Didn't Sasuke come? "

"Well, Sasuke is doing homework at home." Itachi Uchiha still looked indifferent, looking very mature.

"Homework, it sounds so annoying." Naruto curled his lips.

"Okay Naruto, you go in, I'll talk to Itachi." Marutani Kou patted the boy on the back.

"Okay," Naruto stood up, reluctant to walk into the house, "Then I'll go to boil water for the teacher first."

"thank you."

Naruto returned to the house, only Marutani Ko, Uchiha Itachi, and a wolf who couldn't speak were left in the yard.

"You still decided to come back," Uchiha Itachi naturally sat beside Marutani Kou, "Have you thought it through?"

"Yes," Marutani Hang shook his legs, looking at the bright night sky, "it's time to do the task, I remember I still owe a whole lot of debt to the village."

"Indeed," Uchiha Itachi smiled, took out a document from his pocket, and handed it to Marutani Koko, "Take a look."

"what?"

"Three generations of adults asked me to give it to you."

"Oh? Does the old man have any message to convey to me?"

"This is the loss caused by the noise you made today."

Marutani Kou's hand to open the document stopped immediately, and he raised his head stiffly.

"Huh? What loss have I caused?"

"Because of you, the village thought that Kyuubi had gone berserk again, so they organized civilians to take refuge and stopped their normal life for a day, and all the losses caused will be borne by you."

"...But I haven't paid back the loss of my last forest."

Marutani Koko wanted to pretend to be stupid and struggle, but it was easily blocked by Uchiha Itachi.

"So the three generations of adults are very happy about your return."

"."

Marutani Kou opened the file, took out a piece of paper, looked at the astronomical figures written at the end of the paper, and suddenly felt a mouthful of blood stuck in his throat.

The boy's mood at this time is even worse than when he controlled the energy body in Nara Mountain.

"Come on." Looking at Marutani Kou's face that was so dark that it was even starting to turn blue, Uchiha Itachi stretched out his hand and patted the boy's shoulder encouragingly, "I believe you can pay it off."
