Naruto's gaze swept quickly over the compensation items listed on the scroll, confirming that all terms and items were consistent with the negotiation list, including the two secret technique scrolls sealing the Heavenly Transfer Technique and the Lightning Release Chakra Mode, which were also prominently listed.
After confirming, he put the scroll away and turned to leave.
Bee watched Naruto's receding back and asked, "What is your name?"
Naruto turned his head and said with a hint of teasing in his tone, "So you do ask for people's names. I thought you only knew the 'Konoha bastard' way of addressing people."
Bee was choked by this remark, and the expression on his face became even more complicated.
"Remember, I am the son of the Fourth Hokage, Uzumaki Naruto."
After speaking, he walked toward the Konoha position without looking back.
Bee was shocked. "What? He is that man's child?"
He had seen the intelligence reports on Naruto, but the Konoha Genin on the report with yellow hair, grinning at the camera, and the boy before him with black hair and brown eyes who had crushed him single-handedly were completely different people.
At this moment, Eight-Tails' voice rang in Bee's mind, a hint of lingering fear in its tone. "He is the Jinchuriki of Kurama? That means the Naruto who fought us just now did not use Kurama's power from start to finish. He defeated you and me entirely relying on his own abilities."
"Coupled with the Adamantine Sealing Chains and space-time Ninjutsu, he is more dangerous than Minato was back then. If he were to master Kurama's power..."
Eight-Tails did not continue, but Bee could fully understand its unspoken words.
Nine-Tails was the strongest of the nine Tailed Beasts, and now its Jinchuriki was even stronger than it. The future of this combination was simply unimaginable.
However, Bee did not continue to dwell on these thoughts. He walked quickly to A and checked A's pulse and breathing with trembling hands.
After confirming that his big brother had only temporarily lost consciousness because he was knocked out, he heaved a long sigh of relief.
"Someone, send big brother back to the Land of Lightning immediately. Call the Medical Team to prepare for surgery immediately and reattach his arm."
"Hurry!"
The Kumo ninjas who had been on standby behind him quickly stepped forward. They carefully lifted A and the other two, and retreated rapidly toward the direction of the Land of Lightning.
Bee took one last look in the direction of the Konoha camp, then turned and followed the team, disappearing into the hills of the Land of Hot Springs.
In less than a moment, the Kumogakure flags vanished from the border of the Land of Hot Springs.
Seeing the Kumogakure Ninjas leave, the Konoha side was silent for a moment before erupting into cheers.
They had witnessed this duel with their own eyes, from Naruto walking alone to the center of the battlefield, to Bee entering full Tailed Beast Mode, and finally, that earth-shattering battle of offense and defense. Every part of it had sent their adrenaline soaring.
"Jonin Naruto!"
"Jonin Naruto!"
"Jonin Naruto!"
Hearing the crowd's cheers, Naruto smiled slightly and nodded at them.
Shikamaru tilted his head to look Naruto up and down. "Are you really Naruto? Your strength is so great that you could go head-to-head with the fully transformed Eight-Tails Jinchuriki. You are a completely different person from the person in my memories at the Ninja Academy who couldn't even use Clone Technique properly."
"Here, take the scroll for the Kumogakure reparations." Naruto sais.
Then he turned around and said loudly to all the Konoha Ninjas present, "Everyone, clean up the battlefield! 5hose who need to continue guarding the border, continue guarding! Those who need to return to Konoha, return to Konoha!"
"Yes, Jonin Naruto!"
The Anbu moved first, methodically beginning to clean up the traces of the battle on the battlefield.
The border ninjas returned to their posts, continuing to carry out their guard duties.
"Kakashi-sensei, Guy-sensei, let's go back." Naruto walked up to the two of them.
Kakashi and Guy nodded at the same time.
After a brief handover with the border ninja captain, the four set off on their journey home with the Kumogakure reparations scroll. The twenty Anbu had their own follow-up missions and did not accompany them.
On the way, Shikamaru finally couldn't help but ask the question he had been holding back all the way. "Naruto, why have you become so strong?"
"Just now on the battlefield, I saw with my own eyes that your whole body turned into light, and you were so fast that even my eyes couldn't keep up."
"What was that glowing Ninjutsu? I've never seen anything like that."
Naruto answered, "That's a Kekkei Tota I obtained by fusing three types of Chakra nature transformations, Light Release."
Shikamaru paused his steps, while Guy raised an eyebrow. Only Kakashi didn't look surprised.
"Kekkei Tota? The same level as the Tsuchikage's Dust Release?"
Shikamaru pinched his brow with his fingers, forcing his brain to recover from its stalled state.
He had learned the definition of Kekkei Tota, but the information was only a few lines long because the only recorded Kekkei Tota in the entire Ninja World was Ōnoki's Dust Release. And now, the owner of the second Kekkei Tota was standing right beside him.
Shikamaru realized that his perception had been refreshed too many times by Naruto in just one day, and now he felt a sense of numbness where nothing that happened to Naruto would be surprising.
"Naruto, you really are a genius."
"This is what burning youth looks like." Guy recovered from his brief shock and gave a strong thumbs-up.
Kakashi said with a smile, "Not only did he learn Minato-sensei's Flying Thunder God Technique, but he also acquired the Uzumaki clan's Kekkei Genkai, Adamantine Sealing Chains."
"Flying Thunder God Technique plus Adamantine Sealing Chains, the strongest techniques of Minato-sensei and Kushina-san, are both with Naruto."
"Naruto, if Sensei and Kushina-san could see your current achievements, they would definitely be proud of you."
"Naruto, the Taijutsu you used when fighting the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki at close range on the battlefield just now was so strong."
"Being able to kick Eight-Tails flying with one kick? Even my Front Lotus might not be able to achieve that level." Guy brought the conversation back to the field he cared about most.
"There is still a lot of room for improvement in technique." Naruto said.
"If Guy-sensei is willing to guide me..."
Guy's eyes lit up instantly upon hearing this. "Then leave it to me. Come see me anytime after we get back, and we'll do a complete Strong Fist Style training session."
"Then I'll trouble you, Guy-sensei." Naruto nodded.
Watching Might Guy burning with passion, Shikamaru put his hands back into his pockets and muttered under his breath, "Youth... what a pain."
During the time they were on their way, the news that Naruto had defeated the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki alone at the border and forced Kumogakure to accept all compensation terms had already spread throughout Konoha.
From the Hokage Building to the commercial street, from the Ninja Academy to the training grounds, everyone was discussing Naruto's name.
When they arrived at the Konoha gate, they saw a warm welcome.
Tsunade stood in the center of the main gate, with Jiraiya standing next to her with his arms crossed.
Behind them were not only Anbu but also all the members of the Konoha 12, and behind them were dense crowds of Konoha villagers.
"Look, Konoha's hero is back!" Someone in the crowd shouted.
Immediately, everyone's gaze turned in the same direction.
Naruto's steps paused slightly.
So many people?
He just went to the border to have a fight with Bee and incidentally sent the Raikage to exchange for reparations. Was there a need to make such a big scene?
His gaze crossed the crowd and fell on Tsunade's face. He saw that she was looking at him with a triumphant smile.
He walked to Tsunade. "Granny Tsunade, this is too much."
"Hmph, I suppressed the news of you capturing the Raikage alive and didn't promote it before. This time, you defeated the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki. If I don't build up your reputation now, I would be a very incompetent Hokage."
Tsunade crossed her arms and leaned close to Naruto, lowering her voice, "This is also paving the way for you to succeed as Hokage in the future. With solid combat achievements and the recognition of the entire village, no one can find any fault."
Jiraiya said, "Naruto, we have already seen the detailed process of your entire battle with the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki in the intelligence sent back by the Anbu."
"I didn't expect you to have learned the Uzumaki clan's Adamantine Sealing Chains, this is the Kekkei Genkai your mother was best at. Even I haven't seen her use it many times. Well done."
"Since my bloodline has regressed, I naturally learned Adamantine Sealing Chains." Naruto replied.
