<><><><><><>

Indeed, with Asahi present, his future was assured. Since that was the case, staying a bit longer here to complete his mission seemed like a good idea.

"Yes, Master, you're right. That's the decision. Let's hurry and find that Mukade so that he doesn't continue causing trouble."

After coming to this realization, Naruto clenched his fist and loudly declared to Asahi. From start to finish, Asahi never asked about Naruto's specific identity. 

However, Naruto still kept calling him "Master" without feeling anything wrong.

No one said much about this. Once certain things were mentioned too often, even someone as thick-skinned as Naruto would notice the difference. 

In that case, the impact on the world's course would become more severe.

Seeing Naruto's behavior, Asahi also knew that his versatile character setting was maintained. 

If Naruto insisted on going back to the past, Asahi wouldn't have many ways to handle it.

"Since this is your mission, naturally, you'll have to solve it yourselves. I won't casually intervene."

"I came to Roran with a different purpose."

Asahi said calmly, this not only followed his true intentions but also gave Minato some face. 

After hearing Asahi's words, Minato cast a grateful look at him.

Meanwhile, Naruto pulled a disgruntled expression. However, this wasn't beyond Asahi's expectations. 

After all these years, whether it was now or in the future, Asahi was still Asahi.

"Alright, Master, you're still the same." Naruto waved his hand indifferently, not feeling discouraged. Asahi wasn't surprised; after all, the rule of neutrality was set by him.

As the only practitioner of this rule, Asahi didn't think he would violate his own rule. "Every mission you complete is a form of training and experience. If every task is helped by senior members of the clan, what will you gain?"

Asahi casually educated Naruto, causing Naruto to plead in despair, "Oh, Master, I understand. You don't need to say it." 

Naruto had faced that Asahi is this kind of nagging more than once.

Seeing Naruto's reaction, Asahi muttered to himself. Could it be that he was too wordy again? 

However, before Asahi could speak again, the faces of everyone became serious.

They had already sensed a disturbance in the distance. Soon, a large commotion echoed from afar. 

In an instant, everyone disappeared from their original location, hiding in the shadows.

"Hail the Queen!" Hidden in the shadows, they watched the bustling streets. 

In just a short time, the previously desolate streets were now crowded with numerous people.

What was surprising was that these people showed remarkable discipline, and there was no sign of any disorder. 

Naruto's eyes sparkled with excitement. It seemed like he could already envision a perfect ruler deeply loved by the citizens.

"This queen must have made extraordinary contributions; otherwise, the residents wouldn't be so adoring of her." 

Watching the scene, Naruto suddenly sighed his pensive expression a departure from his earlier brash demeanor.

This caught the attention of several people, unfamiliar with Naruto's character. 

Could it be that Naruto was hiding something, not as straightforward as he appeared a moment ago?

"Oh Naruto, what do you mean by that?" Minato Namikaze asked with interest.

Upon hearing Minato Namikaze's question, Naruto looked at him with a hint of disdain. 

'This ninja, with hair color similar to his own, seemed quite strong, yet he didn't even know this?'

'In that case, I'm Naruto, as your teacher, will give you a good lesson, especially in front of Master. It's an excellent opportunity to showcase my skills.'

With this in mind, Naruto cleared his throat and began, 

"Look, every person here is chanting the queen's name. Considering how prosperous Roran is, everyone must be living well."

"All of this indicates that this queen has undoubtedly made significant contributions."

"Remember, the leader is like a boat, and the people are the water. Water can support the boat, but it can also capsize it."

"I've encountered situations where local tyrants were greedy and oppressive. The citizens of the Land of Waves joined forces to overthrow the rule of Gato."

Naruto blabbered on without realizing that a gleam of light flashed in Asahi's eyes. Although the words were few, Asahi extracted quite useful information.

Combining this with the increasingly inaccurate original plot in his mind, Asahi learned many things. 

Of course, not only did Naruto not notice the change in Asahi's expression, but no one else did either.

After all, what Naruto said was slightly ahead of its time in terms of ideology for the shinobi world. 

However, everyone present was exceptionally intelligent, and with a bit of contemplation, they understood the underlying truths.

"The leader is like a boat, and the people are the water. Water can support the boat, but it can also capsize it." 

Minato repeated this phrase in his mind, the more he thought about it, the more reasonable it seemed. 

The meaning behind these words completely aligned with his thoughts.

As someone who inherited the Will of Fire with the goal of becoming Hokage, Minato deeply accepted the legacy of the Will of Fire. 

The so-called Will of Fire emphasized prioritizing the villagers, descendants, and the like, which perfectly matched what Naruto said.

Minato looked at Naruto with pleasant surprise, never expecting Naruto to say such things. 

Looking at how he and Kushina would educate Naruto in the future, it seemed promising.

"Naruto, my brother, did you come up with these words yourself?" 

Minato eagerly asked Naruto. By now, he felt that Naruto's brain wasn't as simple as before.

How could Minato not know this? Considering how ear-catching these words were, Naruto had heard them countless times in some unforgettable situations.

Naturally, Naruto couldn't come up with this himself. Initially, there was some expectation for Naruto, thinking he might bring a special surprise.

However, as soon as he said these words, Asahi's heart directly became clear. 

Naruto's words were undoubtedly something he heard from someone, somewhere, during certain unforgettable occasions. 

In normal circumstances, Naruto wouldn't retain such educational topics.

Asahi, looking at Naruto, sighed with pity. 

'Minato, you might be disappointed again. How could Naruto have come up with the phrase himself? '

Originally, Asahi had some expectations for Naruto, thinking he might bring a special surprise.

But as soon as Naruto spoke, Asahi's heart immediately became clear. 

These words of Naruto were definitely heard in certain unforgettable occasions from someone, somewhere. 

In typical situations, Naruto wouldn't retain such educational topics.
