Naruto was surrounded by children this night as he told them stories of a distant world surrounded by waters, recounting battles between sailors and pirates.

"There was a pirate who could remove parts of his body?!" the children exclaimed while Naruto smiled.

"Yes, he dressed as a clown while being all clumsy, but he always managed to escape because he was very strong against the forces of justice..." Naruto commented as the children looked on, fascinated, but soon someone was doubtful.

"Wait... Naruto-San... What is a clown?" they asked, confused and unfamiliar with the term.

"You don't know them..." Naruto said, a bit puzzled. "They have big red noses and get upset when we touch on this subject." he continued as the children began to laugh at that.

"A clown is someone with a red nose... how funny...!" the children exclaimed.

Naruto felt someone approaching them, as he was surrounded by children and Akame was also with him, a boy a few years younger than him appeared, staring intently at Naruto as he approached and sat near where the younger children were.

Naruto knew immediately that this was the young boy he had saved at the last moment while killing enemy ninjas. But Naruto was more focused on telling more stories of pirates and sailors with strange powers to them.

He continued telling stories until he was exhausted. "Well, now it's time for you to rest, you must do your duties in the camp, remember that," Naruto said as the children nodded, after all, Naruto had given them some exclusive tasks, like taking care of a small garden, so they could spend some time occupied and playing with each other without disturbing the camp while running around.

"Yes!! Let's go!"

"Wait for me!!"

They started to run off, leaving only Naruto and Akame, while Naruto turned his gaze to the only child who hadn't left, with the boy from before looking at him.

"Can I help you, Young man?" Naruto asked.

"You don't look much older than me..." the child began. "How are you so strong?" He didn't hesitate to ask this directly to Naruto, while Naruto scratched his head a bit, knowing this profile well, as the camp was full of people seeking revenge at any cost.

"I won't tell you to simply train hard, there are people who are stronger and others who are weaker, training always helps, but you must rely on other people too, this camp is a union of both strong and weak people, we have a common goal to free this country from the clutches of the Mizukage and this regime..." Naruto spoke as he passed by. "Remember, this group of united people makes us stronger."

He spoke, not knowing very well how to deal with people like this, he had to be realistic, there will always be a weak person and a strong person, it's not the idea that makes you strong, but like the navy, weak soldiers and strong soldiers form the force on the sea to protect the world from evil.

Akame watched him leave and the boy sat there thoughtfully, she knew Naruto had a meeting with Mei in his tent tonight, he walked through the camp to the main tent, arriving there with Hozuki Seijun coming out of the tent at that moment, his gaze falling on Naruto for a moment, the man was never someone who liked Naruto's presence, quite the contrary, he believed that Naruto was a bad influence on the Rebels, and many people shared that kind of thinking, but with Naruto's actions, the majority of the camp began to see him as one of their own, after all, what he did in 6 months, was more than the majority of the camp had done during all these years.
