Naruto

The next evening, in the Demonic Desert, Choci and Ino were wrapped in cloaks, panting and looking at a sand lizard that was the size of an ordinary person, with solemn expressions.

"Ninja Technique? Heart Turning Technique!" Ino formed a seal with his hands on his chest and projected his spirit in a straight line into the sand lizard's mind, causing its eyes to become distracted.

"Partial Multiplication Jutsu!" Choci raised his fist that had grown five or six times in size and swung it at the head of the sand lizard with lightning speed. Ino withdrew the Heart Turn Jutsu at the moment Choci punched and regained consciousness.

The sand lizard had no time to dodge Choji's fist, and its head was directly crushed into a blur of flesh and blood by the huge force.

"Tonight's food is finally here." Choci retracted his fist and said excitedly.

"You guys cooperated very well!" Naruto suddenly appeared behind them, held out his thumb, and grinned.

"Huh, I'm still far behind compared to you." Choci took out a small knife, skillfully cut open the lizard's hard skin, drained the blood, and cut off the tenderest tenderloin on its body.

"The desert is really not a place suitable for human habitation." Ino looked at the scorching sun above his head, gathered up his sweat-stained cloak, and complained in a low voice.

"Thank you for your hard work, you guys should take a good rest next time." Naruto changed the seals with his hands a few times, inserted his right hand into the hot yellow sand, and shouted in a low voice, "Earth escape? There is a change!"

The fine sand instantly condensed into large groups of rocks under the influence of chakra. Under Naruto's control, the rocks bulged upwards, curved inward, and finally formed an arched cabin above the heads of the three.

Immediately afterwards, a dazzling blue ice ball wrapped in a ball of flames flew up from Naruto's raised right hand and embedded itself in the center of the dome in the house. It exuded a refreshing coolness and also provided the airtight house with a refreshing chill.

the light source.

"Huh...how are the others doing now?" Dingci took off his cloak and coat, leaned his back against the wall, unplugged the kettle, and took a big gulp of cold water.

"Three teams were eliminated today." Naruto gathered water balloons to refill the three people's water bottles while recounting what he had seen that day, "Three fires were caused by fighting for drinking water and food.

.Ningji and the others handled it very promptly, there were only some minor injuries."

"Are Anju and his team okay now?" Ino asked with concern.

"It's not bad. A team from Iwagakure overestimated their capabilities and tried to steal their prey, but they easily solved it. Hei's kid is really good at swordsmanship. Sasuke may not have such good skills at his age."

Naruto commented arrogantly, "It's just that their hearts are so soft that they didn't do anything and just let their opponents go."

"It's not a bad thing to be kind-hearted." Choji cut the meat into thin slices with a knife while speaking to protect his juniors.

"Ha, that's right! They'll know if they do more bloody tasks like this in the future." Naruto waited for Choji to finish sprinkling the seasonings, then skewered all the meat slices on thin wooden skewers and lifted them up with the palm of his hand.

The flames carefully seared every part of the meat, and the alluring aroma filled the entire hut.

"Here, it's baked, you guys go and eat it quickly." Naruto gave the wooden skewers to Ino and Choji in a ratio of 1:3.

"Don't you need it yourself? I'll give you half here." Choji picked out six meat skewers and handed them to Naruto.

"I can rely on the natural energy in the environment to sustain life. Eating, drinking, and breathing are not necessary for me." Naruto shook his head and declined Chouji's kindness.

It wasn't until he reached perfection in his practice at Mt. Miaomu that Naruto fully understood the true meaning of the term "Sage" in "Sage Mode".

"What's so good about eating grain? Food is the most worthy pursuit in this world." Choci bit into a piece of tenderloin and said with a mouth full of oil.

"Picking chrysanthemums under the eastern fence, and leisurely seeing the southern mountains. This is the ideal state of life." Naruto sat cross-legged on the ground, his thoughts wandering to nowhere.

As for Sakura, who was stationed at Sand Hidden Village, she was not in such a leisurely mood.

"You didn't tell me this kind of thing in advance, you bastard Naruto!" Sakura sat in front of the Yondaime couple in an extremely ladylike manner, with a decent smile on her face, but deep down in her heart, she had already hurt a certain golden-haired kid with a bright smile.

I flattened it dozens of times.

They are the back-up men that Naruto left behind for Sunagakure Village.

"Don't be so restrained, Sakura. We have seen clearly the days you and Naruto spend together." Kushina smiled narrowly.

"Heh...heh...Auntie, you are joking."

"You really don't need to be nervous, Sakura. Kushina and I are just the last echoes of two deceased people left in this world.

That's it. The real us have already perished in the disaster planned by Obito fifteen years ago." Minato coughed lightly and said calmly.

"It can't be considered an echo. A more accurate term is 'borrowed soul'." When it came to business, Kushina also stopped joking and corrected Minato's statement.

"'Borrowing souls'?" Sakura was confused about this word.

"Naruto had 'Su Hui' since he was a child. In his last life, he was an orphan who had never seen his parents. During the Nine-Tails Rebellion, he did not want to be separated from us and divided his soul when we were dying.

It came out in two parts, using the chakra that sealed the two of us as a guide, giving us a new life." Minato did not hide the truth of the year at all, and explained the truth to Sakura in detail.

Sakura was silent for a long time, and then she asked, "What kind of person was Naruto... in his last life?"

"Naruto was an ordinary person without any special abilities in his previous life. When he was sixteen years old, he risked his own life to save a little girl he had never met. However, this child has never regretted his choice.

." Kushina replied softly.

Sakura lowered her head and remembered the scene where Naruto used his own body to block attacks from others.

Did it turn out that he was already such a big fool in his previous life?

"Forget about that kid, is there any progress today in the investigation you conducted before?" As the fourth generation Hokage, Minato did not allow himself to indulge in memories of the past, but instead focused on the most important task at the moment.

When it came to business, Sakura instantly returned to her usual capable demeanor and said calmly: "I overheard the secret discussion of those traitors yesterday. Tonight, at midnight, they planned to collude with the guards to release all the prisoners in Sunagakure Prison, and then take advantage of the chaos

We raided the Kazekage Imperial Palace and tried to control the Kazekage before dawn."

"You investigated very clearly." Minato nodded appreciatively, "What are the Kazekage's plans for this?"

"Gaara originally wanted to take action in advance, but because we don't have substantial evidence, we can't remove the guards without reason." Sakura frowned and replied.

Minato's handsome face showed the "golden flash" style that once shocked the ninja world, and he confidently pointed to Sakura, "The best way in this situation is to use the trick to catch those traitors. We don't do this kind of thing.

It’s not easy for Ye Ninja to interfere directly, but you can suggest Sunagakure handle it this way..."
