Konoha: Naruto, trained by Aizen

After completing the complex mission from the Land of Demons, Naruto's team had a few days to rest.

As usual, the oil maiden Neri arrived at her laboratory and began to carefully examine the minions of the demon.

Unfortunately, after losing the nourishment of the demons' power, the bodies of those ghost legions eventually turned into useless blocks of iron.

She carefully removed the body tissue from the demon's subordinate, gently placed it on the research table, and manipulated the insect to savor it.

These are all research insects that she specially developed, which can greatly assist her in her research.

She received a summons from Danzo before the research was even halfway through.

She entered the room.

Danzo sat in a high position, his expression serious.

Tell me the details of the commission.

Aburame Nerei truthfully reported all the details of what happened in the Land of Demons.

"The sage and I were responsible for the four minions of the demon, while Naruto took the priestess Shion to seal the demon. By the time we arrived at the sealing site, the demon had already been sealed."

"And what about Naruto? Did he do anything strange during this mission?" Danzo asked in a deep voice.

Although he was indeed moved by Naruto before, he is not the kind of person who would give up his doubts just because he was moved.

Naruto integrated into Root so quickly that Naruto had to be extra careful.

after all,

In this world, the only person you can truly trust is yourself.

When faced with Danzo's question, Aburame Neri pretended to think seriously before answering, "There's nothing wrong with it."

She's a seasoned veteran who's been surviving at the root for over a decade.

He is also a rare veteran who has not been completely brainwashed into a task-oriented machine.

She naturally knew what to say in what situation.

There were a few things about Naruto that made her suspicious during this request.

First is the so-called Pure Land gate.

Then there's the relationship between Naruto and the priestess.

But saying these things won't do her any good.

After all, given the current situation, Danzo considers Naruto to be the leader of Root.

In the future, I will become Naruto's most loyal subordinate.

In addition, Naruto has a very open attitude towards research.

If Naruto becomes the leader of Root in the future, he will naturally receive a lot of resources.

It is entirely beneficial to oneself.

Danzo nodded in satisfaction upon hearing Aburame Nerei's reply.

Just as he thought, Naruto is truly outstanding!

He truly deserves to be my disciple.

"I understand, you can go now." Danzo gestured.

The oil maiden Nerei obediently withdrew.

After leaving Root, she saw Naruto at the door and made eye contact with him.

She saw satisfaction in Naruto's eyes.

The oil woman, Neri, was greatly alarmed.

Did Naruto foresee everything that happened before?

If that's really the case, then the so-called flaws in the Land of Demons might all be things he deliberately exposed to himself.

If I tell Danzo what I suspect, will Naruto retaliate against me?

As Aburame's expression changed, Naruto's gentle and magnetic voice rang out:

"What are you thinking about? Let's go have dinner together, buddy." He emphasized the last two words, a gentle smile on his face.

Aburame Nene's hair stood on end, and she hurriedly followed behind Naruto.

I am incredibly glad I made that choice.

Chapter 165 Naruto, if you're not careful, I might kill you!

"Fifth Hokage, Naruto Uzumaki has returned to the village." The moment Naruto stepped into Konoha, the Anbu promptly relayed this information to the Hokage's office.

"He's finally back. He completed the mission to the Land of Demons beautifully. Look at how fast Naruto Uzumaki has grown—even faster than we expected." Tsunade stood by the window, her eyes sparkling.

"After receiving my guidance, he actually already had the strength of a Jonin. After these few months of training, his strength has definitely improved a lot." Jiraiya sat at the table, handling official business without looking up, with a bitter look on his face.

"Tsunade, please help me, I really can't go on."

"Huh? That's not enough?" Tsunade turned her head, her eyes revealing killing intent.

Jiraiya lowered his head in a miserable manner and continued to handle official business.

"I, the free-spirited Toad Sage, shouldn't waste my time on these official duties. My life is free and romantic."

"If you do well, I'll give you a reward~" Tsunade suddenly revealed a charming expression and exhaled a fragrant breath.

"Hiss...~~~~~" Jiraiya suddenly seemed to be on steroids, and his speed in handling official business doubled.

"Hehehe, my demands aren't high either. If, if..." Jiraiya leered at Tsunade's chest, swallowed hard, and said in a cheeky tone:

"Open it for me to see, just once."

"Bang." The next moment, a humanoid cannonball flew out of the Hokage's office.

The ninja below remained calm and dutifully continued his work.

They've clearly gotten used to all of this.

"Naruto Uzumaki," Tsunade murmured, then muttered to herself with interest, "I'll find a chance to meet this guy."

.....

The next day at the Konoha training grounds.

Naruto, Rock Lee, Sasuke, and Sakura reunite.

Among them, Naruto and Sasuke received Jiraiya's tutelage, and Sakura became the disciple of the Fifth Hokage, Tsunade.

Rock Lee is a disciple of the Azure Beast of Konoha, meaning everyone here has a renowned teacher.

The character who changed the most was Sakura.

After being taught by Tsunade, she learned the technique of superhuman strength, and her superhuman strength was not to be underestimated even by Jonin.

Sasuke's strength has reached a bottleneck.

I need more battles to improve myself.

After exchanging pleasantries, the four began their respective training sessions.

Sakura first used medical ninjutsu to treat the three's hidden injuries, and then began training them in super strength techniques.

Lee Rock looked deeply moved, feeling completely refreshed after the treatment.

As an extreme taijutsu ninja, he naturally had many hidden injuries, large and small, in his body. However, ordinary medical ninjas in the ninja hospital could not heal these injuries well, so they were left untreated.

Rock Lee originally thought Sakura was just a pretty face who only held everyone back, but he was surprised to see her in a completely different light after just one day.

He was impressed by Sakura's medical ninjutsu.

I couldn't help but exclaim, "Sakura-chan is such a kind girl."

Meanwhile, Sakura was training her super strength technique when she came to a large tree.

She then focused her energy and threw a straight punch.

"Bang!" A loud bang was heard, and a huge hole was punched into a tree that would take two adults to hug.

Wood chips flew everywhere, and the ground even seemed to tremble.

"Uh." Lee Locke immediately fell silent, his lips twitching wildly.

"Hmph! How could that violent woman be associated with gentleness? You're still too young, Little Li." Zuo Zhu sneered disdainfully.

"Whoosh." As soon as the words were spoken, a huge object grazed Zuo Zhu's fair face with lightning speed and landed in the distant forest.

"Boom!" A loud noise suddenly rang out, and the trees in the forest were instantly thrown into chaos. Looking closely, it was discovered that the tree that had been thrown out was the one with the hole punched in it.

Looking at Sakura again, her eyes were filled with murderous intent, and her fists were clenched tightly.

Her arms were slender; it was hard to believe that such fair and delicate arms could throw out such a huge tree.

"Gulp." The sound of swallowing saliva rang out in unison.

Zuo Zhu quickly shrank back, his eyes filled with lingering fear.

He is Sakura's partner. During the mission, Sakura, who is in charge of treating him, has countless ways to get revenge on him.

“S, S country one.” Lee Rock’s eyes shone.

"That kind of strength makes me want to arm wrestle with you!"

"Oh dear, Naruto-kun, I don't know who destroyed the forest, I'm so scared~~~" After throwing the big tree, Sakura quickly changed her expression and waved to Naruto who was looking at her like a little bird.

"Stupid, woman." Sasuke glanced at Lee, who was staring in disbelief, and Sakura, who was trying to act cute, and couldn't help but mutter to himself.

The group began their training.

Sasuke was also bathed in lightning, constantly training the conversion of lightning-attribute chakra.

However, he is now quite skilled at nature transformation, and with his ability to summon spirits, his strength is actually quite impressive.

Continuing to practice asceticism will not be very effective.

The only way is through combat.

Speaking of combat...
