Chapter 857

The family of three embraced each other; Water Gate held his wife in his arms and now had one more person, but instead of putting them down, he tightened his arms to hold both tighter.

"Naruto, Mom misses you too!"

"Dad misses you too, but you've seemed thinner lately—have you been working too hard outside?"

This family of three ignored everyone else right where they stood; their joyful atmosphere left everyone else stunned.

Indeed, a strangely original family.

"Senior Kakashi, why do you look so strange? Are you just that thrilled to see me?"

The second group to appear consisted of three people; the first to greet was Yamato, held in Senju Tobirama's hand. As the mobile villa builder, Yamato's task this time was simple: assigned alone by Senju Hashirama, he was to build houses anytime, anywhere.

Standing beside Tobirama's other side was Uchiha Sasuke, wearing an Uchiha clan emblem coat and holding a scroll in his hand.

Upon arriving, this older brother's eyes fixed solely on Sasuke over there; as for the purpose of this visit, he likely wouldn't rush it for now.

"So there are quite a few people—anyone else coming behind?"

Izuna had been standing beside the staircase entrance, leaning against the wall, waiting to see how many more would arrive. He recognized the Water Gate couple at a glance—they were Naruto's parents, and he knew their background.

One of the Uchiha juniors, and another guy standing there grinning like an idiot, gave off a strange vibe.

"No one else for now. My brother said to send more people over, so if Lin Cheng ends up having to act, having more people around will help keep an eye on him."
