"Oh, Kakashi Sensei, what's going on?"
Naruto, who had just run over, looked at the scene before him with a puzzled expression.
Isn't that the ninja who attacked them last time, and isn't that… "Hey, you… you're actually that guy's companion!"
Naruto stared at Haku, who was standing beside Zabuza, with a shocked expression.
"Naruto, we meet again. Zabuza will no longer be your enemy."
Looking at the shocked Naruto, Haku showed a gentle smile and nodded to Naruto, saying.
"Is… is that so?"
Naruto turned his head to look at Kakashi and the others, only to see Kakashi nodding seriously.
"Really? That's great!"
Upon receiving Kakashi's confirmation, Naruto immediately became overjoyed. It was truly great that he didn't have to fight the gentle older sister who collected herbs.
Although Haku had told him that he was a boy, Naruto clearly didn't believe it.
Suddenly, Naruto noticed Zhong Chen and the others standing not far from Zabuza and Haku.
"Kakashi Sensei, who are those guys? Are they new enemies?"
Hearing Naruto say this, Kakashi quickly began to explain, afraid that Naruto would anger the other party.
Although Namikaze Minato was now also a Hong Ninja Village member, who knew if the Shinobi World's strongest person would care about the Minato couple.
"Naruto, this is the First Rainbow Shadow and Second Rainbow Shadow of Hong Ninja Village. They are important figures, so show respect."
"Nani (What), Rainbow Shadow!"
Earlier, on the way to the Land of Waves, Kakashi had already explained the entire Shinobi World's structure to the three.
Among them, Rainbow Country and Hong Ninja Village were particularly emphasized.
Especially the First Rainbow Shadow, who was publicly recognized as the strongest person in the Shinobi World. In other words, the greatest ninja.
"Is this guy the legendary existence that surpassed the God of Shinobi…"
Naruto's eyes widened, staring unblinkingly at Zhong Chen, who felt a bit uncomfortable being stared at by Naruto.
He always felt like the other party had some bad intentions. Why are you staring at me? Go stare at your future wife.
"Uzumaki Naruto, why are you staring at me? Is there a flower on my face?"
"Eh!!! How do you know my name?"
Hearing the other party call out his name, Naruto's face was full of surprise.
"Not only do I know your name, I also know who your parents are."
"What!!! You know who my parents are? Who are they? Where are they?!"
Upon hearing the words "parents," even the usually carefree Naruto couldn't control his emotions for a moment.
Meanwhile, Kakashi and the others sighed in their hearts at Zhong Chen's words.
Although the Minato couple had always secretly looked after Naruto, the malice of the entire village still caused Naruto to suffer a lot.
"Naruto's parents…"
Sasuke Uchiha, standing nearby, also involuntarily pricked up his ears upon hearing this.
From the first time he met Naruto, he had always been alone. He never expected to hear news of his parents now.
"Hahaha, haven't you already seen them many times?"
Zhong Chen didn't answer directly, but instead asked with a smile.
"You… you mean…"
Looking at Naruto's reddened eyes and expectant expression, Zhong Chen nodded with a smile.
"It's really them… I… I… I have… I…Woo…Woo woo…Ahhhhh…"
Everyone present watched Naruto, who was crying tears of joy, in silence.
Although they didn't know when he had met his parents, or who "they" were, seeing Naruto's reaction, they were happy for him in their hearts.
However, Sasuke thought of his own parents and brother, and his gaze involuntarily turned to Zhong Chen, who was standing with his arms crossed and a smile on his face.
It was this man. If it weren't for him…
"Hey, Uchiha kid, what kind of look is that? It's as if I killed your whole family."
"What did you say! You, if it weren't for you, our parents wouldn't have died, and my brother…"
Zhong Chen, who had originally worn an indifferent expression, looked at the extremely agitated Sasuke, his mind filled with questions.
"Stop! Who told you your parents died? And has Fugaku never come to see you?"
"Seriously, although I know that guy is stubborn, I didn't expect him to be so stubborn. Can't he learn from the Minato couple?"
As he spoke, Zhong Chen waved his right hand, and two figures suddenly appeared before him.
"Huh? Where is this?"
"Fugaku, what… what's going on? Oh… Lord Chen."
Mikoto Uchiha, holding a spatula in her hand, looked at Zhong Chen with a surprised expression.
And hearing Mikoto Uchiha's words, Uchiha Fugaku also noticed Zhong Chen and Kurome and the others.
"Ah, Lord Chen, Rainbow Shadow!"
Zhong Chen raised his right hand with an exasperated look and greeted the couple.
"Fugaku, Mikoto, look over there. There's a kid who treats me as his father's killer. See if you recognize him."
The two looked in the direction Zhong Chen pointed, and at this sight, both fell into a daze.
At this moment, Sasuke Uchiha's face was also filled with shock. For a moment, he just stared at his parents, who he had long believed to be dead.
Ultimately, Uchiha Fugaku was the first to recover, looking at Sasuke with a hint of guilt in his eyes.
"Sasuke, you've grown up."
"Yes, Sasuke, you've already become a ninja."
Listening to their familiar voices, Sasuke was at a loss for a moment, subconsciously looking at his teacher, Kakashi.
"Sasuke, these are indeed your parents. They have always been alive, but due to special reasons, so…"
Kakashi didn't continue the rest of his sentence, and at this moment, Sasuke Uchiha couldn't hear the latter part. He only heard "still alive," and the tears in his eyes could no longer be controlled.
"Why… why…Woo… why…Woo woo woo…Ahhhhh."
Looking at Sasuke Uchiha, who also began to cry bitterly, everyone present was at a loss for words for a moment.
Especially Kakashi, who was quite helpless.
What is this? I only have three students, and two of them are here crying their hearts out.
If Team 7 continues like this, it might as well just disband.
Mikoto Uchiha looked at Sasuke, who was standing still and muttering "why," and her eyes also reddened.
She had actually always wanted to take care of Sasuke, but they, unlike Namikaze Minato, didn't have the Flying Thunder God to come and go freely.
Ultimately, she could only ask Kakashi to help take care of Sasuke Uchiha.
She walked up to Sasuke, opened her arms, and lovingly embraced Sasuke.
She gently patted Sasuke's back and softly said:
"It must have been hard all these years. Cry if you want to."
"Ah ah ah ah!!!"
Watching this scene, Kurome reached out her small hand and gently tugged at Zhong Chen's sleeve, then looked up with wide, innocent eyes and said with a blank expression:
"Lord Chen, you actually do good deeds too."
"Damn it, what kind of image do I have in your mind, kid…"
