I am Uzumaki Naruto, and I am currently being chased by Uchiha Sasuke, but I am not panicking at all, because he can't run as fast as I can.
...
The cause of the matter is like this: after Jiraiya's injuries recovered, the group set off from Tanzaku Street to return to Konoha. There were no twists and turns along the way, and they returned home smoothly, which was much easier than returning home during the Spring Festival travel season.
When they arrived at Konoha, it was just past noon. Tsunade and Jiraiya went to the Hokage Office, and Sakura went home to report.
Naruto learned through a phone call that Kushina was leading a team on a mission and was not at home, so he couldn't ask Hinata out either. He simply followed Sasuke to his house for a meal.
However, when Sasuke returned home, he learned from his mother that on the day he was tricked away by Naruto, his brother had actually taken leave to go home and train with him, but he missed him. In the end, he had no choice but to accompany Izumi to eat Dango.
Naruto felt that something was wrong and tiptoed away, trying to sneak away.
As for what his mother said next, that his brother had gone out on dates with Izumi many times this month, Sasuke didn't notice at all.
Because his mind was full of missing the month he could have spent with his brother...
Because Naruto dragged him out on a mission, he missed the month he could have spent with his brother...
Even though he had the guidance of the Three Legendary Sannin Jiraiya during this time, he missed the month he could have spent with his brother...
So, there was the scene of Sasuke chasing Naruto with Red Eyes.
Naruto felt guilty looking at Sasuke's appearance, so Sasuke chased, and Naruto ran.
"Naruto, don't run! Stop right there!" Sasuke roared from behind.
"I don't have Ji Zhi Tang Jiang, why are you chasing me?" Naruto thought to himself that only an idiot would stop.
"If you don't run, can I chase?"
"If you don't chase, can I run?"
"I'm going to kill you!"
"Is that necessary!?"
...
The two energetic young men ran through the streets and alleys of Konoha with sparks and lightning, jumping over one roof after another, running around the village again and again.
During this period, they also encountered Kimimaro's Melon Head Team and Team Guy led by Guy. Perhaps the passion of the two teenagers ignited the blood of the Melon Heads, Naruto vaguely heard the sound of singing Youth, and they seemed to be training even harder.
After a high-speed run of three or four hours, Sasuke once again deeply realized that the endurance of a normal person cannot compare to that of a beast. His anger, like his physical strength, gradually dissipated, and he didn't even notice that there was an extra tomoe in each of his eyes.
"You... huff... you stop... right there..." Sasuke was out of breath, and his speed obviously slowed down.
"Are you done yet?" Naruto was also a little tired, but he didn't stop. Stop? Stop so you can hit me? If he wasn't a little guilty, he would have pinned you to the ground.
So, Naruto continued to run forward, with his back to the Red Eyes and Roar.
...
The chase ended with Sasuke collapsing from exhaustion. Naruto carried Sasuke on his back on the way to take her home.
Naruto lectured Sasuke, who was as tired as a dead dog, "I said, what are you going crazy about? I didn't know Itachi-kun would take a special leave in advance, did I?"
"Hmph." Sasuke also knew that although this matter was caused by Naruto, he couldn't blame Naruto. Naruto's original intention was to think of him.
"Besides, it's no use chasing me. I can't carry you and travel through time and space to the past. Besides, you've made a lot of progress this month, haven't you?"
"Hmph." Sasuke knew it was useless, but he just wanted to vent his frustration.
"Hmph my ass." You guys are such tsunderes, so annoying, Naruto thought. "You little brat, you have your fun, but when you're exhausted, I'm the one who has to carry you back."
"Shut up." Sasuke turned his head away, face red, not wanting to admit he was wrong to Naruto.
Naruto wanted to throw him on the ground. He hadn't even carried Hinata yet, and he had to carry this tsundere first, covered in sweat.
...
"Itachi-aniki, Big Sister Izumi?" Naruto ran into Itachi and Izumi, who were saying goodbye, when he carried Sasuke to the Uchiha Clan Compound.
"Brother?" Sasuke struggled to get down, but he couldn't stand at all and needed Naruto to support him.
"Yo, little Sasuke, little Naruto, you two are still as close as ever." Izumi greeted them with a smile.
"What's wrong with Sasuke?" Itachi was still concerned about his younger brother first.
Sasuke blushed, thinking he couldn't say the reason.
Naruto decided to save him some face and said, "Physical training, he insisted on pushing himself, and as a result, he was exhausted."
Sasuke didn't refute, well, Naruto didn't lie, long-distance running can also be considered physical training, right?
"I see, leave it to me." Itachi smiled and carried Sasuke on his back again.
Sasuke squirmed, but didn't refuse.
"Aww." Naruto responded, and then gossiped, "Are you guys on a date?"
"Da-da-da-date?" Izumi's face turned red all of a sudden, and she waved her hands in a panic, explaining, "We just went to eat Dango together."
Itachi was very calm, his expression unchanged: "That's all it was."
Naruto scrutinized them back and forth with the same look Kushina used to interrogate Kakashi: "But I heard from Godmother that you've been going out together a lot lately."
"J-just passing by." Izumi panicked at Naruto's gaze and said goodbye, "I have something to do, goodbye Itachi-kun, and little Sasuke, little Naruto."
"Goodbye."
"Hmph~"
"Big Sister Izumi, goodbye!"
You could tell who said each of the three sentences just by their tone.
"Then I'm going home too, Itachi-aniki, goodbye." Naruto was a polite child, but he was too lazy to be polite to Sasuke.
"Goodbye."
Naruto turned and went home.
Itachi also carried Sasuke back, comforting his little brother who was throwing a tantrum as he walked. Sasuke lay on his brother's back, and all his anger disappeared.
...
"I'm home!" Naruto opened the door and found that there were many people at home.
Tsunade had just examined Kimimaro's body, and it seemed there weren't any major issues. Tsunade gave Kimimaro some precautions and told him to go to Konoha Hospital for a minor surgery tomorrow.
Naruto had mentioned Kimimaro to Tsunade on the way back, wanting her to check if Kimimaro had contracted the so-called "Bloodline Disease."
He also quietly asked her if she could remove the scars on Karin's body. After Naruto briefly explained Karin's situation, a large pit with a diameter of over ten meters appeared on the road. Later, Jiraiya filled it in with Earth Release.
After understanding the situation, Tsunade immediately patted her chest and guaranteed that she would take care of everything. Now it seems that Tsunade has indeed taken these two matters to heart.
Jiraiya and Minato were sitting on the sofa chatting, while Kakashi was casually flipping through Jiraiya's work—not the Make-Out Paradise series, but Tale of the Utterly Gutsy Ninja, which Minato solemnly collected.
Karin was busy in the kitchen with Kushina, and Haku was helping out. The atmosphere at home was as usual, Naruto was very... wait a minute!
"Haku? What are you doing here?"
