Konoha: Naruto, trained by Aizen

"Of course, Naruto is the goal I've always strived to catch up with." Hearing Naruto being praised made Rock Lee feel as if he himself was being praised, and he felt very pleased.

"By the way, Ya, how's your case going?"

"We're doing the same thing here as always, but we're all relying on Hinata! Several times when clients had bad attitudes, it was Hinata who intimidated them."

"What? Hinata?!" Everyone looked at Hinata, who had a gentle and harmless face, with shock and suspicion.

My impression of Hinata is that she is shy and gentle.

"Yes, Hinata is very strong." Kiba nodded and began to describe Hinata's great achievements.

"Back then, an older woman tried to renege on her debt, but Hinata didn't back down at all and argued with her for a long time. To be honest, it was the first time we'd ever seen Hinata like that," Kiba said, scratching his head and laughing.

Hinata blushed and hid to the side, glancing at Naruto every now and then out of the corner of her eye.

They were afraid that Naruto would show any sign of disgust.

The barbecue restaurant was filled with laughter and chatter. Naruto sat there with a smile on his face, occasionally chiming in with a few words.

However, his mood remained perpetually calm.

The eyes hidden behind the glasses were even more calm and composed.

......

The party at the barbecue restaurant has ended.

At the moment of parting, Kai was once again in tears.

"This is the burning of youth, this is youth! I see everyone's youth..." He reeked of alcohol, his face flushed, and he shouted at the top of his lungs. With great effort, Lee Lokeningji finally managed to carry Kai home.

After saying goodbye, Naruto walked home alone.

The brief training is coming to an end, and it's time to start taking on new projects.

Chapter Seventy: Dazner's Request

Naruto's entire growth was under the control of the Konoha leadership.

At this stage, Naruto has formed an unbreakable bond with his comrades and has passed the test of killing.

The third generation was very satisfied with this.

Standing by the window, he couldn't help but sigh again, "Seeing Naruto reminds me of Minato. They're both like warm little suns. I believe that with Naruto as their role model, this year's genin will be the hope for Konoha's future. These kids are all very talented." He puffed on his pipe, feeling a sense of satisfaction.

Konoha's top fighting force has dwindled too quickly in the previous major events, and Konoha urgently needs new Kage-level powerhouses.

Naruto, who possesses the power of the Nine-Tails, and Sasuke, the last surviving member of the Uchiha clan, are clearly the objects of their attention.

Danzo behind him sneered, without saying much.

Because he understood that no matter what he said, the Third Generation would have a strong enough reason to suppress him.

To gain real power in Konoha, one must become the Hokage.

.......

After a period of time, Sasuke's resentment finally erupted completely.

"Why bother with these worthless commissions? I don't think they help my strength at all. What I need is to get far away from the village and carry out commissions."

To put it simply, Sasuke wanted to go out and see the scenery.

Sakura, on the other side, didn't say much, but her expression showed that she agreed with what Sasuke said.

Kakashi looked at Naruto, who smiled gently and said, "Kakashi-sensei, our strength has now surpassed that of genin. We can even fight against chunin. Perhaps we can take on more challenging missions."

"Is that so?" Kakashi nodded thoughtfully. "Since Naruto has said so, let's go to the quest office and see if there are any suitable quests."

Kakashi still cares about Naruto.

Naruto has a steady and gentle personality and won't do things he's not sure he can handle.

Moreover, Naruto's strength has already surpassed that of a Chunin, so he can definitely protect his teammates during missions.

.......

Soon at the request office, Team 7, led by Kakashi, encountered a drunken Tazuna.

Tazuna's words during their first meeting made the entire Class 7 quite uncomfortable.

He was drunk and looked like a decrepit old man, complaining in a thick accent: "Oh dear, they're all just kids, can they even do it? They all seem unreliable."

Sasuke leaned against the tree, not even glancing at Tazuna.

Sakura stood next to Naruto, thoughtfully tidying up the various items needed for their upcoming camping trip, preparing to spend a romantic day with Naruto.

Naruto glanced at Tazuna indifferently, his expression still gentle; no one knew what he was thinking.

But judging from his indifferent attitude towards Tazna, it was clear that he was not in a good mood.

"Don't underestimate them. They are among the best genin. They are more than capable of carrying out your mission," Kakashi said lazily, his tone full of concern for his disciples.

"Tch, hopefully it'll be reliable." Tazna scoffed.

But for some reason, Naruto could sense Tazuna's unease.

"Why is he uneasy? It's just an escort mission; a genin would be more than capable of protecting him. Why does he seem afraid?" Naruto's eyes narrowed slightly.

Under Naruto's slightly probing gaze, Tazuna felt uneasy and muttered loudly, "Alright, let's get going. I need to get back to building the bridge. You guys don't seem very professional."

The Land of Waves is a small country made up of scattered islands. Due to the monopoly of roads and transportation by the dark forces of Gato, the Land of Waves' economy has been in a state of stagnation.

Dazner hoped to save the country's economic crisis by building a bridge to connect the neighboring islands across the river, enabling them to travel between each other.

This was originally intended to enrich the country and its people, but it encroached on Kado's interests.

As one can imagine, Tazuna will next face assassination attempts by ninjas sent by Gato.

In order to safely complete the bridge repairs, Tazuna came to Konoha to issue a request.

However, due to insufficient funds, Tazuna concealed this information, leading Konoha to mistakenly believe that the assassins who tried to kill Tazuna were just ordinary mountain bandits.

Tazuna looked at the unreliable Class 7 with concern, his heart heavy with worry.

Fortunately, there was a Jonin named Kakashi, who at least offered him some comfort.

He knew that this move could put the group of ninjas in a dangerous situation.

But he had no other choice but to keep it a secret.

He wasn't sure of the ninja's rank who was coming to assassinate him, but he believed that with a Jonin escorting him, the whole process should go relatively smoothly.

With this feeling of unease, Tazuna hoped that they would not be discovered, and that even if the truth were revealed, the ninja squad would still persevere in completing their mission.

"Let's set off then. Our destination this time is the Land of Waves. This journey will be quite long, so everyone must protect Mr. Tazuna throughout the entire trip." Kakashi stepped forward to assign tasks.

Naruto, being the strongest, naturally received the role of close bodyguard, while Sasuke and Sakura protected Tazuna from the front and back.

Considering that Dazna was just an ordinary person, and an old man at that, the procession moved very slowly.

After traveling for nearly a week, they finally left the borders of the Land of Fire.

Throughout the journey, Kakashi maintained a lazy demeanor, as if nothing could elicit a nonchalant expression from him.

Sakura was initially very excited, treating this assignment as a camping trip with Naruto, and would fawn over him at mealtimes and at night.

At first, these days were wonderful. She always enjoyed the beautiful scenery along the way with great interest, and Naruto's words always came to mind: "Seeing cherry blossoms in pink at this time of year is a kind of happiness."

But as time went by, these once beautiful landscapes became dull and boring, and Sakura's mood visibly declined.

Sasuke practiced hand seals throughout the journey, deeply embodying the idea of ​​"integrating training into daily life."

However, what he didn't know was that the later Naruto world consisted of instantaneous ninjutsu.

His current efforts will yield little result in the long run.

Naruto was in a good mood throughout the journey, smiling as he admired the scenery.

But in his view, none of these landscapes could compare to the blood-red moonlight he remembered.

He kept recalling that night of carnage and the birth of the Void.

All of this gave him an urge to do research.

I want to explore the secrets of the Naruto world.

They walked along, stopping frequently, and when they passed a puddle, two ninjas suddenly jumped out of the puddle and, wielding chains, tore the astonished Kakashi to pieces.

Naruto was left with a helpless expression, while Sasuke and Sakura were shocked.

"This Kakashi has truly taken slacking off to the extreme."

Having succeeded in his attack, the ninja turned bloodthirsty and headed for his next target, Naruto.

This laughing idiot looks easy to bully, let's kill him first.

Chapter Seventy-One: An Extraordinary Commission

"Are you kidding me?! Kakashi-sensei was instantly defeated?!" Sasuke was horrified, then his expression changed instantly, and he was speechless: "Such a slow speed... I really have to thank Kakashi for leaving the enemy for us."

"Maybe he's been reading too many pornographic books."

Naruto smiled and suddenly drew his Mirror Flower Water Moon sword.

"Sasuke, one for each of you. Sakura, you'll assist us, okay?"

"Hmph, whatever." Sasuke's eyes suddenly transformed into Sharingan, and he said smugly, "They're no match for my eyes."

The two ninjas were clearly unaware of the seriousness of the situation, and even had arrogant grins on their faces.

Naruto maintained his harmless smile, his eyes already locked on his target.

"This speed is only that of a Chunin, no, a relatively low-ranking Chunin. The headband on their foreheads is from Kirigakure. They're Kirigakure rogue ninjas. They pose no threat to me." After assessing the situation, Naruto used Shunpo to disappear from the sight of the two Kirigakure rogue ninjas.

Sasuke has already entangled himself with one of the Chunin.

"Wind Release: Great Breakthrough." Naruto started with the ever-reliable Wind Release technique. With just a simple ninjutsu, the expression of the rogue ninja from Kirigakure changed drastically, and he hurriedly used the Substitution Jutsu to escape.

Turning my head, I saw that the area where the Great Breakthrough had blown was in complete disarray, with trees overturned and fallen, and grass uprooted.

"Is this just an ordinary genin?" Even the battle-hardened rogue ninja from Kirigakure was shocked by this scene.

To become a rogue ninja, his vision and strength must be extraordinary.
