Naruto returned back to Konoha Village. He was a little disappointed that the Toad Sage did not teach him the Sage Mode because of his young age but at least he copied all of the Toad Sage's memories.
He did not waste a single second and directly rushed to practice it.
Since he had learned how to absorb natural energy, Naruto just needed to adjust his body to become familiar with it.
He sat down cross-legged on the bed and closed his eyes, focusing on establishing the connection between himself and the natural energy in the surroundings.
One second, two seconds... slowly but surely he could feel the natural energy drawing into his body.
The more he focused, the more he could absorb.
'Hmm... it is quite simple. Now, I have to mold my own physique into one that can continuously absorb this natural energy. Maybe with my current Empty Devil Body, I will be able to succeed. But it needed a little experimentation.'
Naruto stopped when he was getting familiar with the feeling and jumped down from the bed.
'Let's go for a stroll in the Uchiha Compound and see how is the situation developing...'
He picked up his jacket and draped it over his t-shirt before he climbed down the stairs.
"Mom, I am going out to play." He quickly informed Kushina and left the house in a hurry.
Naruto could feel the tense atmosphere in the village, especially close to the Uchiha living place.
He could smell the sparks flying in the air. The more he observed, the more he felt that the worse would happen soon.
Naruto arrived at the front of the Uchiha compound and his serious expression was instantly replaced with a childish and carefree smile.
Looking at him wandering around in their living compound, the members of the Uchiha clan glared at him fiercely but it had no effect on Naruto as he just shrugged his shoulders and kept walking around.
"You are... Naruto-kun, right?"
Suddenly, while he was searching for the figures of Itachi or Shisui, a charming and sweet voice called out to him.
Naruto stopped in his tracks and raised his head to look at the owner of the voice.
It was a young girl around the age of 10-12 years old. She had long brown hair with bangs framing her face and onyx eyes, with a mole under her right eye. She wore a long-sleeved, high-collared purple shirt with the Uchiha clan symbol on the back and baggy blue pants.
'Is she not the girl who was in love with Itachi? What was her name again?'
No matter what was going on in his heart, Naruto kept a smile on his face and asked. "Umm... do you know me, sister?"
Izumi giggled and sat down to match his eye level. "Yup. I know you. You are very famous all over in Konoho village. Hello, My name is Izumi."
"Sister, are you sent by Third Grandpa?" Naruto asked.
"Third Grandpa? Ah, you mean Hokage-same. Why would Hokage-same send me?" Izumi put a finger on her chin and thought before asking.
"Then are you a Uchiha clan member sister?" Naruto tilted his head and asked.
Izumi smiled and said. "Yeah. Why do you ask?"
Naruto looked at others and then spoke in a low voice. "Well, most of the people from the Uchiha clan have those dead eyes and expressionless faces. They even kept glaring at me for no reason so I just thought that you were sent by Grandpa to bring me back. But... thank God, there is one normal person in this place. Everyone else is so weird."
Izumi was amused and could not help but cover her mouth, giggling happily.
Naruto watched her cheerful personality and anger flared in his heart. 'That idiot Itachi. How can she kill such a cute and cheerful girl in the name of the village? It seems I have to put his name on the blacklist.'
The blacklist was the list of names that Naruto had created depending on his memories regarding the characters that needed to be eliminated as soon as possible. The presence of these characters would put the Ninja World under a big threat.
"You are so cute, Naruto-kun." Izumi gently pinched his cheeks and giggled. She sat down with Naruto on the nearby bench and chatted with him.
"Naruto-kun, are you not scared of the Uchihas? Normally, everyone in the village tends to ignore us." Izumi asked curiously.
Naruto looked at her for a few seconds before he smiled. "Why should I be scared of my family?"
"Your family?" Izumi was clearly startled by his words.
Naruto nodded his head. "Yes, family. All the villagers living in the Konoha are family, aren't they? Isn't that why my dad sacrificed his life? To protect his family! It is pretty normal to have some friction between family members but ignoring them and even isolating them is not the right thing. Everyone in the Uchiha is my family just like my mom."
He paused for a moment before continuing. "My mom also told me that the Patriarch of the Uchiha Clan, Uncle Fugaku is a very close friend of my dad. And Aunty Mikoto is my mom's best friend. I came to the Uchiha clan with the intention of meeting them once since they had never paid a visit at home. But alas... I have no luck."
He then looked straight at Izumi and smiled brightly. "At least I met you, sister. Will you show me around when I will come again next time?"
Izumi felt her heart skipping a beat and her face flushed red. She could not help but feel a new feeling welling up in her heart as she continued to stare at him.
Naruto smiled as he had achieved something with his trip and jumped up. "I will take it as a 'Yes' then. See you again, Sister Izumi."
Naruto then walked away while waving at her who continued to stare at him in a daze, waving in return.
Unbeknownst to Izumi, two people were standing at the branch of the nearby tree, listening to Naruto and Izumi's conversation silently.
Izumi might have not noticed them but Naruto did and that's why he stopped and walked away, not continuing any further.
The two people were Itachi Uchiha and Shisui Uchiha respectively.
Shishui stared at Naruto's back and smiled. "Did you hear that, Itachi? It seems Little Naruto has inherited the Will of fire of the village. He treats everyone in the village as his family."
"Yes," Itachi replied in a flat tone. But the small smile on his face betrayed his inner thoughts.
Shisui laughed and patted her brother's shoulder. "I will go ahead and report it to Hokage-sama. I am sure he will be pleased."
