Along with the appearance of these scenes, the negative emotions that Uzumaki Naruto had in his mind completely dissipated.
At this time, Kinoshita Yoshiro reached out and gently stroked Uzumaki Naruto's head:
"Don't worry, the Whirlpool Clan all have red hair, but yours is golden. Maybe you just happen to have the last name Uzumaki."
Kinoshita Yoshiro said with a smile, while squatting down to put Uzumaki Naruto down and speaking softly:
"We're almost at Tazuna's house. You should have recovered some strength by now, right?"
A hint of sadness flashed in Uzumaki Naruto's eyes, but he still nodded vigorously, a bright smile appearing on his face as he shouted loudly:
"I'm someone who's going to become Hokage! This little bit of tiredness is nothing!"
Seeing Uzumaki Naruto's appearance, Kinoshita Yoshiro's eyebrows twitched slightly. This Genin named Uzumaki Naruto really did have a strange way of thinking.
"Mr. Yoshiro, where is your wife?" Uzumaki Naruto couldn't help but ask when he saw the sad expression on Kinoshita Yoshiro's face whenever he mentioned his wife.
"Missing, along with our newborn child."
Kinoshita Yoshiro spoke calmly, but the sorrow on his face could no longer be hidden.
Sighing softly, Kinoshita Yoshiro turned his head to look at Uzumaki Naruto, a hint of bitterness in his voice: "If that child were still alive now, he'd probably be about your age."
Uzumaki Naruto, who was walking, couldn't help but tremble slightly. He looked at Kinoshita Yoshiro's brilliant golden hair, his lips trembling slightly. However, just as he was about to say something, Kinoshita Yoshiro's voice rang out.
"The reason I'm in Wave Country is because someone told me they had news of my son and wife. I'm waiting for them to come and make a deal."
"Don't tell anyone about this. I've only told you, Uzumaki Naruto."
Kinoshita Yoshiro seemed not to notice Uzumaki Naruto's expression, looking ahead and speaking softly.
So Mr. Yoshiro came here to find his wife and son, and he already has news...
Hearing Kinoshita Yoshiro's words, a thought that had just arisen in Uzumaki Naruto's heart was extinguished again, and a hint of disappointment faintly appeared on his face.
"Alright, Uzumaki Naruto, training should be moderate. Get some rest early today."
Standing at the entrance of Tazuna's house, Kinoshita Yoshiro spoke softly to Uzumaki Naruto.
"Thank you, Mr. Yoshiro."
Uzumaki Naruto was startled, then realized he was already at the door. He quickly thanked Kinoshita Yoshiro.
"Loser, I thought you wouldn't be coming back tonight."
Sasuke leaned against the doorway, giving Uzumaki Naruto a cold sneer, but the nervous look in his eyes from earlier had disappeared.
After all, Kakashi and Kinoshita Yoshiro leaving at the same time naturally couldn't be hidden from Sasuke and Sakura. They had thought something had happened to Uzumaki Naruto.
Kinoshita Yoshiro had a gentle smile on his face. He nodded slightly to Sasuke and Sakura and then walked towards his room.
Behind him, the sounds of Sasuke and Uzumaki Naruto arguing reached Kinoshita Yoshiro's ears.
Click!
Gently closing the door, the gentle smile on Kinoshita Yoshiro's face instantly disappeared, replaced by a look of complete indifference.
Kakashi already suspected him. If Yūto-sama hadn't created an opportunity for him today, it would have been almost impossible to be alone with Uzumaki Naruto.
But from the looks of it now, the opportunity Yūto-sama created was not in vain.
He had done everything that needed to be done. Kinoshita Yoshiro deliberately kept the information extremely vague from beginning to end.
Although Uzumaki Naruto currently seemed like just a child, someone who could attract such attention from Yūto-sama would naturally not be an ordinary Ninja.
Kinoshita Yoshiro had long since placed Uzumaki Naruto on the same level as himself, and every word he spoke had a corresponding purpose.
As a former clan leader, Kinoshita Yoshiro understood better than anyone that no one in the world would completely believe everything another person said.
Even if that person spoke with the utmost sincerity, or even completely for the good of others, the person listening would still maintain a certain level of wariness. This is human nature!
To make someone believe what you say, you don't tell them how things are; instead, you let them think about it themselves.
People might not believe what others say, but they rarely doubt what they figure out through their own thinking.
Although most of the things Kinoshita Yoshiro said to Uzumaki Naruto seemed to have little connection, they were constantly reminding Uzumaki Naruto in his subconscious.
When Uzumaki Naruto finally calmed down and started thinking, Kinoshita Yoshiro's goal would be achieved.
In Kinoshita Yoshiro's view, people who directly express their intentions are extremely foolish. No matter how meticulous the plan, there will always be loopholes.
This kind of behavior, which seemingly hands over the initiative to others, is what Kinoshita Yoshiro is most skilled at.
Just like with the former Anbu Vice Captain, Masamitsu, Kinoshita Yoshiro didn't say anything, nor did he do anything.
But Masamitsu ended up saying everything that Kinoshita Yoshiro wanted to say, from his own mouth.
Unfortunately, Kinoshita Yoshiro underestimated Yūto-sama's influence and also underestimated Yuan Shi's determination.
"Time was too rushed, there are still a few flaws..."
"However, this is perfect for handling the second matter that Yūto-sama instructed me to do, together."
Kinoshita Yoshiro's eyes were calm, and he spoke to himself in a voice only he could hear.
----
The next morning.
Countless rays of light streamed from the sky, covering the earth, and the warm sunlight fell on Uzumaki Naruto's face.
Uzumaki Naruto slowly opened his eyes, looking at the ceiling above, a little silent.
Why is my last name Uzumaki? Is it because my parents originally had this surname, or for some other reason?
But Mr. Yoshiro said that the Whirlpool Clan have red hair, and mine is golden. Could it be that one of my parents had golden hair?
Then who is my father? Who is my mother? And why does everyone in the Village know I'm a monster?
Uzumaki Naruto rubbed his stomach. Many questions he had never thought about before now surfaced in his mind, one by one.
Bang! Bang!
Heavy knocking sounds came from outside the door.
"Uzumaki Naruto, you idiot, hurry up and get out of bed. Mr. Tazuna insists on going to build the bridge today, and we have to protect his safety."
Sakura's dissatisfied voice reached Uzumaki Naruto's ears from outside the door.
Uzumaki Naruto, lying on the bed, was slightly startled when he heard Sakura's words. Then, he immediately jumped out of bed, holding his head and shouting loudly:
"What am I thinking!"
Uzumaki Naruto vigorously shook his head, the silent expression on his face disappearing, and returning to his usual cheerful look. He shouted to Sakura outside the door: "I'll be ready right away!"
