Chapter 463

[In the forest, in front of a stone with the word "Master" engraved on it, Naruto left the paper flowers of Jianyi Ninden and Konan here, and turned away in the flying leaves. ]

['Look at me carefully, you lecherous immortal! ’】

[“Why do I feel that... Naruto has forgiven Nagato, calling him Senior Brother is so easy to say.”]

[“This guy... just decided to carry out Jiraiya’s dream, has he adjusted his mentality now? From this point of view, there is really no one more suitable to be Jiraiya’s successor than him.”]

[“I always feel that he has embarked on a road of no return... It is because Naruto holds this mentality that he will speak for him even when he knows that he is framed by Wuwei. The problem is that not every time he will be so lucky that there is someone who knows the resurrection technique standing on Naruto’s side. If he is not careful, he will really die.”]

[“Didn’t Nagato remind him of this? Naruto himself should also understand it. Since he still chooses to do this, it means that he is mentally prepared to face this situation, and we, who are irrelevant, don’t need to say too much.”]

“You have richer emotions than anyone else, but you put down your hatred for me for the dream of peace... Uzumaki Naruto, you are really not simple...” Nagato lowered his eyes and murmured in a low voice.

Until this moment, Nagato completely admitted that his pursuit of peace was far less firm than Naruto's.

Obviously, the initial dreams of both of them had nothing to do with peace, and they were obviously the same dreams inherited from Jiraiya, but compared to Naruto who chose to stick to it, Nagato gave up the initial path and went in a completely opposite direction.

Fortunately, at the moment of death, he finally went back to the initial path, but he could only entrust this dream to Naruto and could not realize it himself.

Jiraiya smiled from the bottom of his heart. Although he regretted Nagato's sacrifice, he was happy to see that he could turn back and see that his ideals had successors.

Sitting behind him, Naruto looked at the smile on Jiraiya's face, lowered his head and made up his mind secretly.

'Wait, lecherous sage... I will definitely find a way to achieve peace, and... I will never let you die, and I will definitely let you see the day when I become Hokage! ’

[Naruto panted lightly, holding onto the tree trunk and walking slowly in the forest. However, his body, which had reached its limit, could not support him to walk out of the forest and return to Konoha. Naruto suddenly lost his strength and leaned forward. He was about to fall to the ground. At this time, a strong back appeared in front of him and gently lifted him up. ]

[“Well done.” Kakashi praised gently, leaning on his shoulder, Naruto showed a relaxed smile on his face, and weakly called his name: “Teacher Kakashi...”]

[“Just stay on my back.” Kakashi said so, and Naruto did not act pretentiously, and smiled lightly and put his arms on his shoulders. Walking in the forest, feeling the weight coming from behind, Kakashi sighed: "You've become heavier..."]

["Kakashi is still reliable. He came to support Naruto as soon as he was resurrected."]

["It's a pity that Jiraiya couldn't be resurrected, but Naruto must be comforted to see Kakashi."]

["This kind of teacher-student relationship is great... I haven't seen Naruto look so relaxed for a long time."]

["Watching Kakashi carrying Naruto, I remembered that he was only a sixteen-year-old child, but he has become an important figure. Just like Kakashi said... he has become heavier."]

'I always feel a little bit wronged to experience the growth of my students in advance. ' Kakashi shook his head helplessly: ' I haven't seen Naruto's performance yet, but I've used up my feelings in advance. It's really...'

[Naruto didn't respond, but he kept a faint smile on his face until he heard cheers from the front. Then Naruto restrained his expression. After Kakashi carried him out of the forest, what caught Naruto's eyes was a crowd that seemed to have no end. Everyone was shouting his name with smiles on their faces, and words like hero and thank you were heard everywhere. ]

["Everyone... is waiting for you to come back." Kakashi explained, and then he remembered the dream that Naruto had described with high spirits on the day of the class division. Although he hadn't become Hokage at this time, he had already been recognized by the whole village in advance. ]

['Naruto, you've worked really hard. ']

["In a sense, Naruto has realized his dream. After all, becoming Hokage is just a process of achieving a goal, but now it has been realized in other ways."]

["Seamless connection, this is, just realized a dream, nextNow you have to fight for a bigger dream, and the pain you need to endure for this dream is far greater than the previous dream. ”]

[“The one who realized the dream was Naruto on the sky dome. Compared with the current Naruto, well... it can't be said that it has nothing to do with it. At least after this, the villagers of Konoha will no longer hate him. ”]

[“In fact, since Naruto has appeared frequently on the sky dome, there are basically no people in Konoha who reject him recently. However, to say that they cheer for him from the bottom of their hearts like on the sky dome, it may still be a little short of the heat. ”]

[“It's no wonder. After all, we haven't experienced it personally. If we only look at the sky dome, it's really unrealistic to want to put our whole heart into that feeling.”]

[“Although we can't reach the sky in one step, compared with Naruto on the sky dome, at least Naruto's current situation is much better, so keep working hard, Naruto, and let everyone truly recognize you on this basis. ”]

[Although the slug said that he had told the whole thing to the people in the village, Naruto still had a dull expression and didn't react. It was not until the crowd who couldn't control their emotions surrounded him and touched his wound that Naruto came back to his senses under the stimulation of pain.]

[In the crowd, Hinata wiped her tears and was happy for Naruto from the bottom of her heart. At this time, Sakura also came over, and without saying a word, she punched Naruto's head: "You just mess around, you idiot!"]

[Naruto, who had almost exhausted his strength, fell forward without resistance, but was immediately supported and hugged by Sakura. Hugging him, Sakura leaned on his shoulder with a distressed face and said softly: "Thank you..."]

["Naruto hasn't reacted yet. Is it so unbelievable that the dream has come true?"]

["Is it strange to feel unbelievable in this scene? How many of you have seen such a scene, regardless of gender, age or young, supporting and recognizing a certain person, not to mention that this person is a Jinchūriki. ”]
