Naruto

In a dense jungle in the Land of Fire, Naruto, Kakashi and Yamato, were traveling in the unique way of ninjas, carrying their own bags and jumping lightly among the branches. He relied on his body's instinctive reaction

After judging the landing point of his foot, he turned to the other two people and said, "I still can't believe that Danzo would openly break with the Leaf Village."

"He is such a person to begin with. On the surface, he shouts slogans louder than anyone else, but he only cares about the power in his own hands. Of course it will be very effective for Akatsuki to win over him based on this." Kakashi replied casually,

"He was just confused by our apparent laxity, thinking that his escape plan was perfect, but he didn't know that we had already informed the 'Eagle' of his whereabouts."

"So Sasuke can kill his enemies with his own hands, and Konoha can also push these dirty jobs to a group of rebellious ninjas, is that right?" Naruto sighed softly, "It doesn't matter, if Konoha is not willing to accept them, then

Let me protect them."

"One thing you may not know is that Konoha has withdrawn the wanted orders for all members of the Eagle Organization and absorbed them into affiliated departments of the ANBU." Kakashi said calmly.

"Eh? Then Sasuke and Itachi-senpai have already gotten rid of their identities as traitorous ninjas?" Naruto asked in surprise.

"The truth of that year has been revealed. Sasuke and Itachi have risked their lives for the safety of Konoha in the past few years. Konoha will no longer regard them as traitors because of their emotions." Kakashi jumped in front of Naruto and rubbed his hands.

Rubbing his blond hair, "I promise, as long as I'm here, things like what happened when you were a child will never happen to them again."

"I'm sorry, Kakashi-sensei, I was just too... cynical. I shouldn't always doubt the good intentions of the people in the village, let alone your ability, teacher." Naruto stopped and lowered his head to Kaka.

Xi apologized.

"You once told me when you were a child that you didn't want me to become a 'scarecrow in the wheat field,' but I've always kept it in mind. Now I don't want you to follow the same path as me because of the shadow of the past.

"Kakashi's normally indifferent tone revealed a hint of earnestness.

"I won't let the teacher down!" Naruto raised his head with a sunny smile on his face.

"Sakura and Kaoru have both been promoted to Jonin, and Sasuke is also the ANBU captain equivalent to Jonin level. You have to work hard." Kakashi patted the young man on the shoulder and said with a smile.

Naruto's face fell instantly: "Teacher, can you not give up which pot and not open which pot?"

"Speaking of Sakura, although she has never said it, every time she comes back from a mission, she will come to your new home and clean every place."

"Really?" Naruto's eyes showed a trace of emotion.

"Of course it's true. Don't leave me without saying goodbye like before and let down other people's affection." Kakashi's eyes curved into a crescent moon.

"Oh, Kakashi-sensei, what are you talking about!" Naruto's face turned red, and he suddenly thought of the passionate first kiss a year and a half ago.

"Hehe. Let's not talk anymore. Let's continue on our way." Kakashi saw the shy expression on Naruto's face, gestured to Yamato with his eyes, and the figure disappeared in front of him in an instant.

"Hey, hey, don't leave me like this, wait a minute!" Naruto yelled and hurriedly chased after me.

Half an hour later, after Naruto sent his teacher to report on his work, he finally got his wish and stood on the top of the high electric pole in Konoha Village, spreading his arms, overlooking the familiar street scene, enjoying the breeze blowing on his face.

Feel.

Although the air here is not as fresh and pleasant as Miaomu Mountain, it seems to have a different kind of magic power, which completely calmed down his restless heart along the way.

"Welcome back, Naruto." Suddenly, a familiar voice came to Naruto's ears. His heart suddenly jumped to the ground, looking at the pink-haired girl, he felt

The clever words he used to say in the past disappeared without a trace: "Sakura, I'm sorry, I... I shouldn't have... before I left last time..."

The girl touched Naruto's cheek with her right hand, interrupting his stammering confession. Sakura's hands were not delicate, but had developed a thin layer of calluses from long-term use of various ninja tools and weapons. The thin calluses rubbed against each other.

Naruto's skin gave him a tingling feeling all over.

"As long as you can stand completely in front of me, I will be satisfied." She put down her right hand, and her green eyes met his blue ones affectionately.

Naruto was silent for a while, then suddenly stretched out his arms to take the girl into his arms, and whispered in her ear: "Do you really want to fall in love with me, who is neither handsome nor smart, and always likes to ask for it?"

Troublesome fool?"

Seeing the serious expression on Naruto's face, Sakura burst out laughing: "If other people heard that Uzumaki Naruto, the great hero who saved Konoha Village, said this to them, they would probably be so shocked that their jaws dropped.

Fall to the ground."

"But this is the real me." Naruto turned his head, looked at the girl's face, and said with a smile.

Sakura rested her head on the boy's strong shoulder and replied softly: "I do."

Naruto lowered his head and lightly touched her forehead with his lips like a dragonfly's drop of water, grazing the newly formed diamond-shaped seal on the girl's skin.

"It seems that your cultivation progress is not slow either." Naruto said gently, "Don't tire yourself too much."

To his surprise, when Sakura heard these words, her face immediately turned cloudy. She reached her right hand to Naruto's waist and twisted the soft flesh there hard, causing the latter to feel painful.

Screamed.

"Ouch!"

"How dare you mention this matter? I've heard people tell you how you behaved when you were practicing." Sakura put her hands on her hips and scolded fiercely, "Do you think you are relying on your physical fitness?

So you can just mess with it?"

"I was wrong, Sakura." Naruto quickly lowered his head sincerely.

"Hmph, you can't trust a man's promises. This is what Tsunade-sama taught me."

"Grandma Tsunade, this is sexist! And what nonsense has she taught you for more than a year..."

"Bang!"

"You are not allowed to speak ill of Tsunade-sama!"

"Oh...I know..."

"Oh my, I really don't want to disturb the young couple's flirting, but Tsunade has something urgent to do with you now." The two of them looked at the sound and saw Jiraiya, one of the "Sannin", standing on a low floor.

on the wall, looking at them with a smile.

Sakura blushed and said nothing, but Naruto rolled his eyes, glared at Jiraiya and said, "You must be the lustful immortal who told Sakura about me, right? That's too much!"

"What, do you have any opinion?" Sakura raised her eyebrows and asked, glaring at Naruto.

"Haha, no objection, no objection. If there is nothing else, let's go see Granny Tsunade quickly." The blond boy waved his hand and said with a dry smile.

Sakura snorted softly, turned around and ran towards the Hokage's official residence, and Naruto hurriedly followed her. Jiraiya looked at their backs, shook his head slightly, and sighed: "It's good to be young."

——————————————————————

"Welcome home, Naruto." Tsunade raised her head from the complicated documents and said with a spring breeze, "The virus sample you sent back has been delivered to the medical team for analysis. I read Kakashi's mission report, you are here

This emergency mission to the Kingdom of Water was completed as beautifully as ever. Not only did it thwart another Akatsuki conspiracy, allowing us to obtain virus specimens, it also saved many innocent lives, and helped Konoha harvest the Kingdom of Water and the Mist.

The friendship of the Hidden Village has contributed a lot."

The blond boy touched the back of his head and said with a smile: "Haha, Grandma Tsunade deserves the award. This is my responsibility."

Tsunade nodded with satisfaction and said to Shizune beside her: "This time the reward for the mission is calculated based on the highest level, and he takes the lion's share."

Naruto shook his head and interrupted Shizune's unspoken words: "Trouble, Granny Tsunade, please do me a favor. Give me this reward, and the reward I didn't have time to receive before, in the name of Konoha's official name.

Donate everything to the orphanage and nursing home in the village. I live alone, and the fixed monthly genin salary is enough."

Tsunade looked at the young man's sincere expression, was silent for a while, and said to Shizune: "Go and arrange this matter."

"Thank you, Granny Tsunade, Sister Shizune!" Naruto bowed slightly to the two of them, with a bright smile on his face.

Tsunade took out a document and her face became serious: "The next chunin exam will be held in one month from now in the Sand Hidden Village in the Country of Wind. At the same time, Gaara, the new fifth Kazekage, will be appointed.

The first Chunin Exam held is of great significance."

"Gaara has already become a Kazekage..." Naruto sighed quietly, but quickly adjusted his mood, "Does Mother-in-law Tsunade hope that I will also take this exam?"

"Yes. Sakura and Neji will be responsible for leading the team. I am sending you to participate mainly to protect the safety of genin from all countries. After all, they are the hope of the next generation of each ninja village." Tsunade said leisurely.

"No problem, I promise to complete the mission!" Naruto replied energetically.

"Who will Naruto team up with this time?"

"The Ino Shika Butterfly trio happens to lack one person because Shikamaru was promoted to Chunin, so you should join with Choji and Ino."

"When do we set off?"

"... Submit the registration application this afternoon and officially set off tomorrow morning." Tsunade said softly, "Thank you for your hard work."

"This is what we should do." Naruto stood up straight and replied seriously.

After the two walked out of the Hokage's official residence, they returned to the single apartment where Naruto lived before. They invited Xiang Rin to Ichiraku Ramen, and the three of them enjoyed a warm lunch together.

"It's great that you can come together now." Xianglin adjusted her glasses and said with a smile.

"Sister Xianglin...you..." Naruto felt that the atmosphere was a bit awkward and didn't know how to speak.

"I did like you Naruto before, and I was even a little jealous that Sakura could be on the same team as you." Xianglin looked at the pair of blue eyes, with a free and easy smile on her face, "But now I only need you.

If I can be happy, I will be satisfied."

Such words made Naruto feel even more guilty. He put down his chopsticks, lowered his head and said, "I'm sorry."

Xianglin understood Naruto's character and did not dwell on this issue anymore. Instead, he shook his head and led the topic to another direction: "Naruto, do you know? I have also been promoted to Jonin."

"Well, I've heard it from Mr. Kakashi." Naruto's face showed a look of joy, "Congratulations, Xianglin, how did you get promoted?"

"The medical class has a fixed quota of chunin every year. After all, we doctors can't be like other ninjas like you, and we mainly rely on combat effectiveness to evaluate the level." Sakura explained patiently.

"What about the Jonin?"

"Jounin can only rely on mission completion and recommendations from colleagues." Sakura replied casually.

"It seems that you have been working hard for the past year and a half." Naruto nodded and received a fierce glare from Sakura. He was so frightened that he quickly shrank his head and concentrated on looking at the large pieces of dolphin in the bowl.

bone.

The place where she had just been beaten was still aching, and her strange power was getting more and more terrifying.

"Okay, let's eat quickly. After we finish eating, let's sign up together and get ready to leave tomorrow." Sakura put down the almost eaten noodle bowl, hugged her nascent breasts with both hands, and said warmly.

"Yes!" Naruto nodded obediently, and happily ate the ramen under the gaze of the two girls.
