Chapter 696: The Coming Days, Go Repent in Konoha Prison!

"Are we leaving?"

Zhi Cun Tuan Cang looked at Lian Ye curiously; he couldn't guess his good brother's thoughts.

He could only ask.

"Almost done, let's take another walk."

Lian Ye has traversed so many eras, yet hasn't properly toured Konoha.

The undeveloped Konoha Village reminded him of when he first time‑traveled.

Time flies; in the blink of an eye, thirty years have passed.

Zhi Cun Tuan Cang, seeing this, nodded and silently followed behind Lian Ye.

By chance, he looked up and saw the Third Hokage's statue on Hokage Rock, and was stunned.

It's not that the Third Hokage has any problem with Ri Zhan.

It's just that Ri Zhan's statue had been graffiti'd.

Someone in Konoha Village dared to deface the Hokage's statue; whose child is that, with such nerve!

And the villagers of Konoha seemed accustomed to it.

"Just a child's prank."

Lian Ye followed his good brother's gaze, saw the little blond hair on Hokage Rock, and couldn't help laughing.

So Naruto Uzumaki started buying cosmetics for the past Hokages at such a young age?

One can only say the Third Hokage was very spoiling toward him.

He did such a heinous act without any punishment.

If it were Qianshou Feijian, that old kid, Naruto would be bedridden for at least a week.

In reality, Yuanfei Ri Zhan was actually quite good to little Naruto.

He never lacked living expenses or anything.

Without parents teaching him from childhood, he often let food go past its expiration.

It was only because the pot shadow spread rumors, causing Konoha villagers to shun Naruto.

Even some shop owners refused to sell him anything.

Thus, despite having money, he had nowhere to spend it, receiving only Byakugan and cold violence.

Only the owner of a ramen shop showed him kindness.

After all, Yuanfei Ri Zhan, as Hokage, raised his grandson Konoha Maru in a hands‑off way, let alone Naruto Uzumaki.

The reason he gave the past Hokages "makeup" was merely to attract attention.

It is true that young Naruto's act did attract everyone's attention.

But it only drew disgust and Byakugan…

"That must be Naruto Uzumaki."

Zhi Cun Tuan Cang looked at that blond hair and couldn't help recalling the Six Paths Naruto of the Fourth Ninja World War.

Who could have imagined that the mischievous kid would grow up to become the hero who saved the Ninja World?

Of course, he also hadn't expected that a guy who once scored only five points in Cultural Class…

…would grow up to become the top‑tier powerhouse of the Ninja World.

Life truly is full of uncertainty.

"Shall we go find that kid and chat?"

Anyway, Lian Ye felt he had nothing to do, so he could go tease the child.

Zhi Cun Tuan Cang: "…"

Seeing the smile on his good brother's face, he knew Naruto Uzumaki was in trouble.

Every time before doing something bad, he shows this false smile.

It's truly terrible; he doesn't even spare the kids.

Forget it, his IQ is flawed, and he's his own good brother after all.

Zhi Cun Tuan Cang convinced himself internally, then followed Lian Ye to Hokage Rock.

Naruto Uzumaki licked the corner of his mouth, concentrating on "making up" the Fourth Hokage, completely unaware of the two people appearing behind him.

"Done!"

Naruto Uzumaki dropped the brush into the paint bucket, staring satisfied at his creation.

This will surely attract everyone's attention!

He has few friends in the village, so he can only attract attention this way.

"Little brat!"

At that moment, a cold male voice suddenly sounded behind him.

Naruto Uzumaki's body froze; instinctively turning, he met a pair of Three Tomoe Sharingan.

"You defiled the statues of the past Hokages; I represent the Uchiha Security Forces and will take enforcement action against you!"

Before Naruto could react, Lian Ye grabbed his coat and lifted him off the ground.

"Let go of me, let go quickly!"

Naruto Uzumaki flailed his limbs in the air, to no effect.

Staring at Lian Ye's cold gaze, panic and fear rose within him.

The Uchiha Security Forces are the village's law‑enforcement agency.

He's already a first‑year Jonin at the Ninja Academy, so he should have that common sense!

In other words, it seems he's been caught.

Before, doing this would at most get scolded by Iruka‑sensei.

But now they've been caught by the Uchiha Security Forces.

I can't be thrown into Konoha Prison, can I!

Naruto Uzumaki became more and more frightened, almost scared himself to wet his pants.

Zhi Cun Tuan Cang: "……"

Just as I thought, I knew it would turn out like this.

When a good brother does something bad, it never feels boring.

To be honest, seeing Naruto Uzumaki's pale little face made him feel a bit reluctant.

"Naruto Uzumaki, since you repeatedly defile the modern Hokage's statue and refuse to change, I hereby officially announce your arrest!"

Lian Ye said with a solemn expression.

"From now on, go repent in Konoha Prison!"

"No!" Naruto Uzumaki burst into tears, "I'm sorry, I won't ever change again!"

So doing this kind of thing lands you in prison!

Had I known it was that serious, he definitely wouldn't have doodled.

Two ANBU silently watching Naruto Uzumaki: "???"

Seeing this absurd scene, they didn't know what to say.

The Uchiha are actually trying to arrest a jinchuriki!

Actually they knew Lian Ye was most likely joking, but one of them still went to the Hokage Office to report the situation.

Hokage Office.

Yuanfei Rizhan learned of the situation and was both amused and bewildered.

Since when have Uchiha members had such a personality?

Logically, Uchiha Clan's Members are very proud, unlikely to scare a child.

That guy's temperament really doesn't seem like an Uchiha member's…

"Continue the surveillance, report any issues."

Yuanfei Rizhan was surprised but had no intention of having the ANBU stop it.

He didn't intervene.

It not only smooths relations with the Uchiha, but also makes Naruto realize his mistake.

It can be said to be a win‑win.

And that Naruto kid really needs proper discipline.

……

"Big brother, I really was wrong, I won't dare to do it again."

Since Naruto Uzumaki learned he would be in prison, he was scared stiff.

He kept begging Lian Ye for mercy, fearing being locked up.

"Fine, considering your good attitude in admitting fault."

Lian Ye placed Naruto on the ground, his tone softened a bit, "I won't hold you accountable."

"Wuwu, thank you big brother, you're truly a good person!"

Naruto Uzumaki hugged Lian Ye's thigh, saying with a grateful expression.

"I'll treat you all to ramen as thanks!"

Zhi Cun Tuan Cang helplessly placed his hand on his forehead.

It seems this kid's IQ isn't that high; even after being sold, he still counts money for others.

With similar IQs, they should be able to get along.

Who knows, they might become friends despite the age gap.

"Hahaha, then we shall gladly decline."

Lian Ye didn't refuse; having been in this world for thirty years, he truly has never eaten Ichiraku ramen.

He also doesn't know why his timeline lacks any trace of hand‑pulled noodles.

Is Konoha's rent too high, making him unable to rent a house in the Village?!

That possibility isn't nonexistent…
