This Naruto is a player

Although he didn't know what kind of ninjutsu it was, his experience told him it was some kind of fire jutsu.

Naruto, who was standing sideways forming hand seals, suddenly turned around and stared at the tree where he was standing.

Fire Release: Firefly Cannon!

A dozen or so fluorescent dots, each the size of a ping-pong ball, shot towards us many times faster than shuriken.

They sensed the terrifying fire-attribute chakra contained within these orbs of light.

Kakashi thought to himself: Oh no!

Boom boom boom~~~

The violent explosion and intense heat made Sakura feel as if she was almost blown away, even though she was more than ten meters away.

Sasuke also crouched down to steady himself, while Naruto stood firmly using his chakra, the violent air currents still making his clothes flutter.

cough~

A cough was heard, and Kakashi emerged from the smoke.

His white hair was burned off and was still smoking. He looked miserable, and his clothes had many holes.

Naruto knew that Kakashi-sensei had used Earth Release to escape.

"Kakashi-sensei, I reminded you yesterday that I am a sensory ninja. Underestimating us will have consequences." Naruto smiled, a smile that was exceptionally humble.

Upon hearing this, Kakashi nodded seriously.

Sensory ninjas are really hard to deal with. Also, is this kid sure he just graduated from the ninja academy?

The third generation lied to him.

However, this is, after all, Minato-sensei's child.

A genius? Of course.

Seeing this blond hair reminded Kakashi of that warm-hearted man.

Although it was terrible, he was surprisingly comforted when he thought of Minato-sensei.

"I'm going to get serious now!"

Chapter 29 Ninjas are just garbage collectors

Even when Kakashi was serious, he lost.

Naruto, Sasuke, and Sakura received the bell.

Seeing Kakashi-sensei panting heavily, Naruto felt that if he continued any longer, Kakashi-sensei might die on the spot, so he ended the match early.

Kakashi-sensei is handsome, but he seems a bit weak.

However, it's understandable that taking down an enemy and controlling an enemy are not the same difficulty.

Naruto muttered something to himself and glanced at his teammates.

Sasuke was lying on the ground, panting heavily, almost completely exhausted.

Sakura fared somewhat better, standing with her hands on her knees for support, seemingly holding back her strength. However, she was more of a participant and didn't exert much effort.

While Naruto was observing them, Kakashi was also analyzing the three of them.

Naruto: The strongest and most talented, with amazing sensory abilities. He can sense all of Naruto's changes. His fire jutsu is exceptionally strong, and he can even create his own ninjutsu. His taijutsu is also good, and he has a strong combat intuition.

Furthermore, judging from his self-created Fire Release ninjutsu, Naruto should have already mastered the nature and form transformation of Fire Release chakra.

Furthermore, his chakra was unfathomably deep, clearly indicating that he wasn't using his full strength.

They must have at least Chunin-level strength, and Jonin is not out of the question.

A 12-year-old Jonin in peacetime?

No wonder he's the child of the brilliant and talented Minato-sensei.

Sasuke: A normal genius, calm in battle, with accurate intuition, very solid foundation in all aspects, good chakra reserves, and a decent Fire Release technique.

Sakura Haruno: Weak in taijutsu, no ninjutsu, average overall, other aspects need further investigation.

Kakashi had originally planned to risk his life to protect these three people, but now it seems much easier.

After catching his breath, Kakashi straightened up.

"Alright, that concludes the assessment. I have a good understanding of your abilities. Very good."

Kakashi glanced at the three of them, finally fixing his gaze on Naruto and giving him a long look.

Naruto responded with a smile.

"This concludes the morning training session. We will meet in front of the Hokage Building at 1 p.m."

"Dismissed!"

After saying that, he turned and left.

"Kakashi-sensei."

Naruto called out, but it didn't stop him from walking; he seemed to be in a hurry.

Is he scared?

It's just a bowl of ramen.

Although his current appearance is a bit pathetic, Kakashi-sensei was still very handsome when he paid last night.

Kakashi ran away, and Naruto looked at his other two teammates.

"What about you guys? Are you going to eat ramen?"

Sakura glanced at Sasuke, and if Sasuke went, she would go too.

"I"

"You're not thinking of going back to practice more, are you?"

Sasuke seemed about to refuse when Naruto interrupted him.

Seeing Sasuke's knowing look, Naruto smiled slyly and said, "If you treat me to ramen, I'll tell you how I got stronger."

"make a deal!"

Sasuke answered decisively, fearing that Naruto might regret it.

Naruto was a bottom student in school, so why did he become so strong after graduation?

Naruto didn't care; his original intention was to strengthen his teammates.

Once he becomes Hokage, his teammates will also need to be his support and contribute to his career.

The scene shifts.

Ichiraku Ramen.

Naruto, oblivious to everything else, was slurping down his ramen.

Sasuke had no appetite and seemed to be preoccupied.

Sakura takes a bite of ramen and a bite of Sasuke. She glances at Sasuke and seems to be enjoying her meal.

suddenly.

"Ah~~~ Sasuke-kun"

With a joyful shout, Ino happily hooked her arm around Sasuke's neck, and Shikamaru suddenly appeared, greeting her happily.

It seems like Choji is still missing.

Naruto turned his head.

Choji also appeared, eating potato chips and smiling at Naruto.

His eyes weren't big to begin with, and when he smiled, they were completely hidden.

"Hello, it's been a long time... um, two days," Naruto greeted.

Sakura seemed to be the most vehement, yelling, "Ino, let go of Sasuke!"

Sakura and Ino were pulling at each other and almost got into a fight.

Naruto felt embarrassed. These two seemed to have a good relationship. Was it really that good?

After a bit of commotion, the three newcomers sat down to eat ramen.

"Shikamaru, have you guys started the mission yet?" Naruto tried to gather some information.

"I just finished one this morning."

Just finished? So fast?

Naruto was a little surprised, "What kind of mission is it?"

"Picking up trash." Shikamaru said reluctantly, remembering the task he had just completed.

Naruto could tell from his expression that his laziness had struck again.

Shikamaru is great in every way—high intelligence, a decent person, except he's a bit lazy.

If you can lie down, don't sit; if you can sit, don't stand.

My favorite thing is probably lying on the rooftop watching the clouds.

However, what kind of task is this "picking up trash" that he mentioned?

Is he really picking up trash?

It seems that when I skipped class to go out and have fun before, I did encounter quite a few newly graduated genin doing various things.

Picking up trash, catching cats, taking care of children

Is this their next mission?

In the afternoon, Naruto and his friends' guesses were confirmed.
