Naruto: I, Naruto, don't want to try anymore.

Chapter 92 Return to Konoha

"Are you going to Konoha to participate in the Chunin Exams?"

During dinner, upon learning that Sasuke was going to Konoha, Mikoto's expression immediately turned somewhat worried.

"Be careful, Sasuke."

Itachi didn't object. Sasuke had grown up, and apart from his combat experience, his raw strength was no less than Itachi's.

People have always called him a genius, and even Sasuke considered him someone to emulate.

But Itachi knew very well that his reputation as a genius actually stemmed more from his combat talent.

Calculate, set a trap, and then kill in a flash.

This is his consistent fighting style, and it is precisely for this reason that he always evokes a sense of awe and shock.

However, this tactic relies more on the Sharingan and information asymmetry; its greatest strength, in fact, should be its deception.

If a comparison must be made, Sasuke's chakra reserves and eye power are now on par with his, and his physical attributes are far superior.

Once he gains combat experience, Sasuke will truly surpass him in every aspect.

Sasuke's talent is more comprehensive and his potential is greater, especially after Sasuke became Naruto's apprentice and mastered the Lightning Release Chakra Mode, which gave him a deeper understanding of it.

"I will try to avenge my father!"

Sasuke suddenly spoke, causing a moment of silence in the room.

Mikoto's eyes showed even more worry. She didn't care about revenge; she just wanted her two children to be healthy and alive.

Itachi didn't rush to give his opinion: "What did Naruto say?"

"He agreed not to help me, but if I fail, he will save me."

"Then there's no problem."

Itachi gently patted Sasuke's head and smiled with satisfaction.

"Danzo is cunning. Whether you succeed or fail, remember to protect your own safety first."

"I will."

Sasuke cast a questioning glance at his mother.

It's best to consult with elders about something as important as revenge.

"In that case, go ahead and do it. Remember to listen to your master and don't do anything reckless."

Mikoto smiled gently. Although she was still a little worried, with Naruto around, she really had no reason to worry.

With Naruto's ability to sense emotions, there's no need to worry about being schemed against...

Thinking of this, Mikoto's ears suddenly flushed slightly. She blinked blankly for a moment, then pretended to be calm and continued eating her rice, completely unaware of the strange and speechless looks from the two brothers across the table.

The team set off the next day.

Just like when he left Kumogakure last time, Naruto, apart from having a protective shield around his neck, showed absolutely no semblance of the manners a ninja should have.

Because Mabui wasn't there, and only Samui accompanied them, they were delayed for several days at the hot spring inn on the way.

We ate the forbidden fruit at the beginning of the year, two at a time, which is why Mabui didn't come along.

Since we've already eaten, it doesn't really matter if someone eats a few more or a few less...

Samui is crazy about this, while Mabui is the opposite, as intellectual and gentle as usual.

After a long and drawn-out journey, the four finally arrived in Konoha the day before the Chunin Exams.

"Hey...hey...that's...!"

Beside the gates of Konoha, the ever-present Izumo Shitetsu stared blankly at Naruto and his friends.

Twelve-year-old Naruto was slightly taller than Sasuke, and a bright red-haired girl beside him walked briskly, instantly bringing back memories of the past for both of them.

There was once a young couple, one with blond hair and the other with red hair, one reserved and the other lively, walking down this street together.

"Reference personnel from Kumogakure: Naruto Uzumaki, Sasuke Uchiha, and Karin."

After handing the invitation documents from Konoha to the receptionist, the group walked brazenly through the streets and checked into a hotel amidst the astonished gazes of passersby.

"He looks just like the Fourth Hokage! He's practically identical to Shadow Rock..."

"That must be the legendary Naruto Uzumaki, right?"

"Where's the Cloud Concealment headband you were wearing..."

"Wait, could that guy be here to participate in the Chunin Exams?"

On the street, people were talking about it, until someone mentioned the Chunin Exams, and the discussion suddenly stopped.

Immediately afterwards, the news of Naruto's return to Konoha swept through the entire village like a hurricane!

…………

"Naruto Uzumaki?"

Inside the training field, the boy who had rolled his eyes frowned slightly.

"The one who supposedly left the village... the son of the Fourth Hokage?"

"That's right!"

The energetic girl with two round buns in her hair nodded repeatedly, her cute face full of confusion.

"Speaking of which, I'm actually a fan of his... Although it's not very nice to say that, Neji, we're definitely not on the same level as that guy..."

"I especially love his song 'Song of Bamboo'..."

The boy next to him, with a watermelon-shaped haircut and wearing a green bodysuit, spoke in an embarrassed tone.

"Not a... dimension?" Neji asked, somewhat puzzled.

"this…"

The girl sighed, "Never mind, come with me."

The three arrived at a DVD store, but before they could go inside, they saw three low-ranking ninjas walking out of the store looking dejected.

"That guy... he's absolutely a monster!"

"Why would someone like that even bother with the Chunin Exams?"

"I guess I'll just have to wait until next year..."

Neji frowned and walked into the shop.

More than an hour later, the three of them walked out of the video store looking completely disoriented.

At the street corner, another group of genin walked towards them from afar.

The three are a boy with a ninja dog on his head and a girl with Byakugan.

…………

Meanwhile, in the Hokage's office.

Jiraiya stood by the window, looking out towards the hotel with a worried expression.

He never imagined that Naruto would return to Konoha in this way one day.

"That child...is he back for revenge?"

In the office, Hiruzen Sarutobi sighed softly.

As soon as he received news of Naruto's return, he rushed over, intending to discuss Naruto and the Chunin Exams with Jiraiya.

We have to discuss this. With Naruto's strength, he's more than capable of crushing everyone and turning this Chunin Exams into a complete joke.

Therefore, this is just one method to avoid conflict between candidates. It would be even better if Naruto could be eliminated as a matter of course.

Jiraiya shook his head firmly.

"That guy won't."

How can you be so sure?

"Because I've never met anyone as lazy as him."

"..."

"There's a high chance he's got something else going on, or maybe he's just bored and came out for a stroll, and maybe he can take the opportunity to suppress the younger generation of Konoha."

"..."

"As long as you don't provoke him, you'll be fine. Let's change the rules a little. Also, keep an eye on Danzo and don't let that guy overestimate himself and resort to any underhanded tactics."

As Jiraiya spoke, a cold glint flashed in his eyes.

"You know the consequences, don't you, old man..."

"I see."

Hiruzen Sarutobi also nodded slightly.

The last time, the Uchiha clan's defection was confirmed, which allowed Danzo to cover it up.

But this time is different. Once Naruto is angered, at the very least, he will be unable to fight back.

The only technique that could pose a threat to Naruto, the Reaper Death Seal, has a relatively low success rate.

After all, this technique itself belongs to the Uzumaki clan…

Since Naruto inherited all the abilities of the Fourth Hokage and his wife, the most likely scenario is that Naruto just summoned the Shinigami, then teleported away, leaving Naruto to die on the spot...

"To be honest, it's all my fault..."

Hiruzen Sarutobi sighed heavily again, and Jiraiya rolled his eyes.

Don't you dare shut up!

Besides regret, what else can you say?

The baby died and you came to breastfeed; you even knew to shake off the snot dripping from your nose...

Feeling impatient, Jiraiya nodded emphatically.

"It is indeed your fault, old man. You have failed miserably as Hokage."

"..."
