......

"Father, what's making you so nervous?"

In a courtyard of the Hyuga clan, Hyuga Neji, who was feeding fish with leftover rice, calmly asked his father a question upon seeing him.

"The Nine-Tails and its Jinchuriki have been taken away by two mysterious powerful individuals. The Hokage is also injured. The clan head seems to have some concerns..."

Hyuga Hizashi looked at his son, who was both familiar and unfamiliar, and recounted the contents of the Hyuga high-level meeting that had just taken place.

The recent annihilation of the Uchiha clan has caused widespread anxiety within the Hyuga clan, and some discordant voices have emerged within the clan.

But the clan leader suppressed them all.

But now, the Nine-Tails has been taken away by a mysterious person, and the Third Hokage is also injured. Some high-ranking members of the Hyuga clan see this as an opportunity.

"Oh, what does Father mean?"

Hyuga Neji remained silent for a moment, then threw all the rice in his hand into the pond, turned to look at his father, and asked him what he really thought.

"The Hyuga clan cannot follow the Uchiha's old path, and cannot betray the village."

"Understood, I will handle this matter."

Neji Hyuga nodded. His father shared the same thoughts as him.

"Hmm, what are your thoughts on those two mysterious people?"

When Hyuga Hizashi saw Neji agree to eliminate those unruly senior members of the main clan, his heart, which had been hanging in suspense, finally settled down.

"They are doing something great that will save the entire world. If they succeed, all of us living on this continent should thank them."

Facing his father, Hyuga Neji made no attempt to hide the fact that Lin Tian and his companion had a goal.

"As expected... then I can rest assured."

Hyuga Hizashi was taken aback upon hearing this. After his suspicions were finally confirmed, he couldn't help but glance at Hyuga Neji again.

His son only told him that he had traveled back from the future. But he didn't explain to them how he did it or how he came to have such great power.

Now that he had received this reply, Hyuga Hizashi understood that his son must be connected to those two mysterious powerful figures.

'Father... if I weren't like you, unable to abandon our people, I would have taken you to that paradise long ago...'

Hyuga Neji watched his father's departing figure, his pale eyes trembling slightly.

In an instant, the locations of everyone in the Hyuga clan appeared in his mind. After locating those few high-ranking members of the main clan, his body vanished from the courtyard in an instant.

Chapter 378 Picnic

"Drink! Ha!"

In a remote primeval forest on the northwestern border of the Land of Fire, a blond-haired boy gripped a wooden sword tightly in both hands, earnestly repeating the slashing motion.

Sweat covered his entire body, and his muscles trembled with exhaustion.

But his gaze was unwavering; even when sweat dripped from his forehead into his eyes, he wouldn't blink or blink while wielding the wooden sword.

"97!"

"98!"

"89!"

"90!"

"91!"

The child earnestly swung the wooden sword in his hand. Each swing was exactly the same as the last, precise and without a trace of distraction.

"Naruto, are you ready to eat?"

At that moment, a girl with long, flowing hair appeared behind Naruto. Seeing how serious he was, she nodded, her sharp eyes revealing a glint of approval.

"what!"

Naruto sheathed his wooden sword, turned to look at Artoria, and looked frustrated.

“But, Sister Al, I haven’t chopped it 1000 times yet…”

Naruto lowered his head in embarrassment. Artoria had set a daily task for him: to swing his sword 2000 times.

But he didn't even manage to do 100 reps all morning.

"Let's eat first. As Lin Tian said, food is as essential as iron. Only when you're full will you have the motivation to cultivate."

Artoria smiled and came to Naruto's side, put away the wooden sword in his hand, and then took his hand and walked towards the camp.

Inside the camp, Kakashi expressionlessly took a roasted pig off the campfire.

Lin Tian, ​​on the other hand, sat leisurely in a recliner, holding a can of cola in one hand and waving a fan in the other.

"The education at your ninja academy is terrible. Naruto is in his second or third year, and he still can't count from 1 to 100. Education has a long way to go!"

"..."

Kakashi froze, glanced back at Lin Tian bathed in sunlight, and didn't know what to say.

As a school specifically for training ninjas, mathematics is the most basic and important subject. If one does not master mathematics, one will be unable to use ninja tools to accurately strike enemies throughout their ninja career.

For example, if there is a huge rock between you and your enemy, and you want to kill them with a kunai, you must calculate the trajectory of the rock.

Therefore, mathematics is very important!

But... Naruto Uzumaki is an exception. He's mischievous and doesn't study hard at school.

The teacher taught him math, but he and other kids skipped class by climbing out of the window.

"Maybe Naruto's personality comes from his teacher's wife. I heard from my teacher that she didn't like studying when she was a child."

Kakashi placed the one-ton roasted pig on a huge leaf and then sighed.

"If Kushina Uzumaki heard you say that, she might beat you up~"

Lin Tian put the cola can in his hand into his spatial backpack, then sat up. When he caught sight of Artoria and Naruto out of the corner of his eye, he smiled amusedly.

Kushina Uzumaki is dead, but a part of her consciousness remains in Naruto's body.

I just don't know if she can sense what's happening in the outside world.

"Didn't you say you were going to capture the Tailed Beasts? Why aren't you in a hurry at all?"

Kakashi saw Lin Tian take out a round wooden table and four chairs from thin air, and the corners of his mouth twitched a few times under his mask.

Although he had witnessed Lin Tian conjure items from thin air countless times in the past two weeks, he was always deeply shocked each time.

This ability is something his Sharingan cannot replicate; it goes beyond the realm of ninjutsu.

"Like I said, I'm a traveler, so my purpose is to enjoy the scenery. As for the tailed beasts, they won't cause trouble for another ten years, so I can take my time to find them."

"Otherwise, since the Akatsuki hasn't started their operation yet, I wouldn't need to collect them one by one."

Lin Tian smiled and waved to Naruto, then said with a sarcastic remark.

"The Akatsuki? You actually know about this organization?"

Kakashi's expression changed. He was surprised that Lin Tian knew about the Akatsuki organization, which the Third Hokage had classified as top secret.

"Akatsuki is nothing. I know of an organization that is even older and more deeply hidden than Akatsuki. Any one of its members could destroy the current ninja world."

Lin Tian may have exaggerated a bit, but the leader of the Kara organization is Isshiki Otsutsuki, and most of his members are androids or cyborgs.

One member can't destroy the ninja world, but they can definitely destroy a ninja village.

"What organization?"

"Alright, time to eat!"

Kakashi wanted to ask more questions, but Lin Tian didn't want to continue the conversation.

No matter what organization it was, even if the entire Otsutsuki clan arrived, Lin Tian didn't take them seriously.

"Naruto, remember to eat an apple after your meal. That's to ensure your body gets a balanced diet."

After the meal, Lin Tian took an apple out of his spatial backpack and handed it to Naruto.

“Okay, Brother Lin Tian. I find what you said makes a lot of sense. Every time I eat an apple after a meal, I feel full of energy. This must be the benefit of maintaining a balanced diet.”

Naruto happily accepted the apple and earnestly shared his thoughts.

He is now much stronger than when he first left Konoha. He attributes the changes in the past two weeks to Artoria's teachings and Lin Tian's "nutritional balance".

"Haha, then you'd better work hard to become stronger!"

Lin Tian chuckled softly, then turned his gaze to the distant woods. His expression became playful.

At this moment, Artoria and Kakashi also noticed the presence of more than a dozen ninjas in the surrounding woods.

Artoria continued to eat the roasted pork on her plate with elegance, seemingly unaware of the enemies.

Kakashi's expression tightened, and he immediately opened his Sharingan.

"Lord Lin Tian, ​​there are enemies." Kakashi said in a deep voice. After activating his Sharingan, he clearly observed that all of these ninjas were Jonin-level.

"Danzo from your village is underestimating me too much, sending so few men to capture me. Kakashi, many of these men may have worked with you on missions. Do you think I should kill them?"

Lin Tian sighed softly, then took out a pear and began to eat it.

He had already discovered these ninjas. They were nothing but ants, not worth his time.

"What? Danzo?"

Kakashi was startled upon hearing this; he had initially thought these ninjas were from the Hidden Cloud Village.

Upon hearing Lin Tian say that these ninjas were subordinates of the Hokage's advisory group in Konoha, he momentarily thought that the Third Hokage had changed his mind and was now preparing to kill Lin Tian and retrieve Naruto and the Nine-Tails.

But then he thought again, the Third Hokage had already witnessed Lin Tian's strength, and he would never bring about the destruction of Konoha Village for the sake of the Nine-Tails and Naruto.

"Go and take care of them, kill them, knock them out, it doesn't matter. We're leaving in half an hour, so don't waste any time."

Lin Tian waved his arm, swatting away several kunai with explosive tags, and calmly addressed Kakashi.
