Naruto returned to Kiri, while Mei was writing some more scrolls when suddenly the ceiling exploded with hidden ambus falling everywhere screaming in surprise.

The debris rose as several ambus that weren't hit stood near Mei. "You don't need to worry... it's just Naruto..." She commented, but with a vein popping on her forehead.

Naruto reappeared just as the debris finished falling with smoke settling, while people outside believed the Mizukage's building was being attacked.

"I came so fast I didn't go through the window," Naruto said.

"You broke the roof, again!" Mei exclaimed with a bit of anger, but Naruto just scratched his ear, while lifting his hands with two fallen bodies.

"Here," Naruto said, throwing the two in front of Mei, who quickly stood up surprised. "There’s also this sword," Naruto warned as he tossed a heavy weapon in front of Mei, making a loud metallic sound as it hit the ground.

"Take them to a doctor immediately!" Mei exclaimed as the somewhat lost ambus eventually gave in to her order, taking them to the hospital in Kiri.

"That was quite fast..." Mei couldn’t help but comment as the two disappeared with the ambu ninjas and she looked at the ground. "But you could have been gentler..." She murmured with dissatisfaction as Naruto shrugged it off.

"Anyway, they'll be fine and I'm sure you can talk to them. So apologize for me, after all, I was in a bit of a hurry..." Naruto said with a smile that made Mei look at him like an idiot.

"We had a meeting a few hours ago... the counselors don’t seem very happy with you having a deal with the three-tails bijuu..." She said.

"I’m sure you managed to handle the situation," Naruto said.

"Yes... your reputation also helps a lot, after all, not even Hozuki Seijun dares to speak against you," Mei said.

"I’ll be going back now, after all, I want to see the Damayo tonight," Naruto revealed as Mei looked at him surprised.

"You will talk to him?! About that huge budget you want?" Mei asked with a furrowed brow.

"Remember Mei, it’s for the progress of this country," Naruto said as he said goodbye.

"Before you go..." Mei interrupted him before he could leave, going to her desk, opening a drawer while she took out a scroll and handed it to Naruto.

He opened it and started to read quickly, raising an eyebrow... "I see..." He commented and looked at Mei with a serious look. "Does Jill know any more about this?" Naruto asked in a serious tone.

"I think you should talk to her personally about it..." Mei said and Naruto nodded.

He left the next moment while several ambu ninjas were already fixing the roof he broke with hammers in their hands trying to close the hole.

It didn’t take long for him to arrive at his mansion and find Akame standing at the entrance waiting for him with an unsatisfied look. "You went out again?" She immediately asked, complaining to him.

"It was just a few hours, I had to go to the coast of the continent... in the Land of Waves... but it wasn’t a big deal..." He spoke calmly, still with her sending an unsatisfied look. "Anyway... why don’t you go out with me again tonight... I have to visit a person. I’d like you to accompany me," Naruto said while she nodded.

"Alright..." She nodded before continuing. "And you have visitors today."

Naruto nodded, already knowing who was there. After all, he sensed with his Observation Haki as soon as he arrived at the place. "Let's go see our guests," Naruto said as he and Akame entered the mansion.

In the room, there was a man wearing a kimono and a woman holding a baby. It was none other than Utakata, his friend with his wife and son, for whom he was the wedding godfather.

"Utakata, how are you?" Naruto asked with a friendly smile.

"It’s good to see you, Naruto. I heard you left the country, but I didn’t expect you to return so quickly. I came here to pass on some information from the meeting we had," Utakata replied.

"I understand, Mei mentioned something," Naruto replied calmly.

"You really found the Three Tails and made an alliance with it? That's incredible! Although those old men weren't pleased about it, they didn't complain much after I told them it was your order," Utakata said.

"I imagine... I wanted to schedule another meeting to hear their complaints, but I can't since I have to see the Damayo of this country today," Naruto spoke as Utakata was surprised by this.

"You're going to see that man..." he murmured.

"Well, anyway, let's have some tea and chat since you're here with your wife and son," Naruto spoke while asking Akame to prepare something for them to enjoy.

Meanwhile, in the Land of Waves, Team Kakashi was still in Tazuna's house preparing to leave, while Kakashi was in a room thinking about everything that had just happened that day.

"Sensei... has the mission ended?" Sakura asked with a hesitant tone.

"Yes... Sakura... the mission has ended..." Kakashi said, seeming much more thoughtful than usual.

He still couldn't believe what he had just seen... he wondered if it really was the son of his sensei... who arrived and simply defeated in an instant all those ninjas they were struggling to fight, those powers, his speed, and how brutal he was... Kakashi was thinking about how he would handle it if Naruto were his enemy, how he could deal with him.

"We did nothing in the end..." Sasuke immediately complained. "That guy came and did everything..." he murmured dissatisfied.

Kiba next to Akamaru couldn't stand it either. "Yeah, who is that guy? How can someone so strong appear out of nowhere, and just toy with all those we were struggling to fight... he didn’t even bother to look at us," Kiba growled.

"He was a ninja from Kiri, wasn't he?" Sakura asked Kakashi again, remembering the headband he wore.

Kakashi sighed and nodded, before trying to reveal a bit of Naruto’s identity. "He is known as Light," he said not wanting to give the direct information that he was the son of Konoha's Hokage.

"Light?" Kiba murmured.

"A high-caliber mercenary, he has S-rank missions in his bingo book history and is acclaimed as highly dangerous and fast, if you see the light, you're dead, that's his description. And as you saw... he is an S-rank ninja."

"WHAT?!!" Everyone murmured surprised by this.

"That Zabuza had an A-rank, so this ninja was an S-rank..." Sakura murmured a bit scared.

"We were lucky we weren't his enemies... we would all be dead..." Kiba commented while petting Akamaru making some sound.

"Yes, there are rumors about him in numerous battles, but there are other stories, about him killing one of our elders who betrayed the village after attempting a coup in the Uchiha clan..." Kakashi spoke while Sasuke clenched his fists in anger. "He also defeated a powerful ninja from Kiri on an S-rank mission, and moreover... there are some rumors, but no one knows if it's true." He continued.

"Rumors?" Sakura asked while the others listened intently.

"They say that Light killed the former Mizukage..." he said.

"What?! A Kage?!" Kiba exclaimed while Sasuke was also shocked.

"How old is he?!" Sasuke asked almost demanding, even feeling that he wouldn't like the answer, after all, that Light seemed very young.

"The same age as you," Kakashi said.

"You're saying, Kakashi-sensei, that that little monster is 12 years old?" Kiba exclaimed while Sasuke was frustrated, seeing the difference in power.

"Anyway, the mission is over, let's start leaving." Kakashi said as they continued packing up.

Despite their frustration and fear, they began to pack up while leaving the house with the family coming to see them off.

Inari seemed thoughtful, while his mother held him and Tazuna opened a small smile. "It seems things went well... as strange as they were..." he commented while Kakashi nodded.

"Anyway, Gatoh is dead, and the ninjas from Kiri nukenins were taken this time by a real ninja from Kiri..." he said finally the first time they defeated Zabuza, he was rescued by Haku posing as an ambu from Kiri.

"So, I guess our work is done," Kakashi said, and the builder nodded.

"Thank you for everything!" he said while everyone nodded and prepared to leave the place, but were interrupted by a new group appearing.

Kushina, wearing her outfit from her Jonin Kunoichi version of her daughter, with her hair tied in a ponytail, appeared leading three other red-haired girls, her daughters, whether by blood or not. They quickly looked at them, while Kushina was looking at Kakashi with a confused expression.

"It seems the reinforcements have arrived. Welcome, Kushina-sama," Kakashi greeted her respectfully.

"Kakashi, has the mission ended? Because we passed the bridge and saw hundreds of bodies lying on the ground and saw some people cleaning them up, but nobody knew what had happened, just that there was a fight between ninjas," Kushina immediately questioned, while her daughters and Karin looked on waiting for the answer.

They had been dispatched to assist Team 6 on this mission, after Kakashi sent a scroll saying that Zabuza, a nukenin, had tried to kill them.

"Sorry, Kushina-sama, but there was an unforeseen event. Someone appeared, and the mission was completed indirectly," Kakashi spoke, while Kushina raised an eyebrow at him.

"What do you mean, someone appeared?" she asked.

"Come with me, let's talk alone first," he requested, as he returned to his companions. "You wait here."

As soon as they went into the forest, Kakashi turned to her. "We encountered Naruto, Kushina-sama..." he went straight to the point.

"What??!! Where is he?" She immediately asked, her voice faltering.

"He's no longer here. He just appeared, defeated the two ninjas from Kiri, and killed the entire gang of Gatoh. All those bodies you saw on the bridge were Naruto's doing. He did it so quickly that no one could react. It was brutal," he admitted, as Kushina looked lost. "And one more thing, Kushina-sama," Kakashi continued. "Naruto was wearing a Kiri headband. It's very likely that he is officially a member of the Water Country now..." he said, as Kushina frowned, heartbroken to hear this.

Elsewhere, Naruto had just finished talking with Utakata while saying goodbye to him. "Thank you for everything, good luck talking to the Daimyō," Utakata said, and Naruto nodded.

"I'll be back here soon," Naruto responded, as the couple plus their son left.

He returned to Akame at this moment, waiting for him. "Let's get ready. We have an important dinner tonight," he said, as they both got ready before leaving the village towards a location not far from the village, after all, the Daimyō liked the protection of the village and built his palace close to stay near it.
