Naruto: After hiding for a long time, he became the leader of the three ninjas

How do you feel now?

Looking at the handsome face with worry in it, Kagura was stunned for a moment, wondering how that face could be so beautiful.

He shook his head slowly and muttered absentmindedly:

"I'm fine...

Well, it seems that according to the plot of the TV series I watched before, I should drink water now..."

Kagura, who had just woken up, obviously had not fully recovered her consciousness. For a moment, she thought she was still on Blue Planet and subconsciously even talked about the TV series.

Tsunade looked at Kagura in confusion, but even though she didn't know what a TV show was, she understood that she wanted to drink water.

After being helped by Tsunade to sit up and drinking a glass of water, Kagura finally came to her senses.

He asked doubtfully:

"This is where?"

Taking the cup of water and placing it on the table beside him, Tsunade replied:

"Don't worry, we are now in the hospital of Konoha Village."

As Tsunade explained, Kagura gradually understood what happened next.

It had been two days since that day.

The Konoha jonin who heard the news found all the people scattered everywhere and returned to the village with Kinkaku's body.

Except for Kagura, everyone else woke up yesterday.

Through Sarutobi Hiruzen's narration, the Konoha high-level officials finally knew the whole story.

At this time, facing the request of the Third Raikage to exchange Kinkaku's body, the Konoha high-level officials were discussing the conditions that the Hidden Cloud Village needed to pay.

And since Tsunade woke up yesterday, she has been guarding the unconscious Kagura.

After recounting what had happened in the past two days, although Kagura was reluctant to leave, the doctor who came to check on her told her that she needed to have a good rest.

Tsunade had no choice but to leave the room unwillingly.

It seems that Kagura's action of helping her resist Kinkaku's punch not only made Tsunade no longer angry, but also completely captured her heart.

Recalling the affectionate eyes of Tsunade when she was just 8 years old, Kagura could only secretly feel guilty in her heart.

Lying in the quiet ward again, Kagura finally had the chance to check her own condition.

The doctor just said that it will take at least another week before I can be discharged from the hospital.

As for the fracture in the right hand, it will take more time to recover.

But these are not what Kagura cares about most. At this moment, he can't wait to open the system interface.

At this time, a completed prompt appears under the task "Successfully killed the Golden Horn".

After thinking it over again and again, Kagura did not immediately draw the reward for the task.

Then, what surprised him even more was the growth of other attributes.

At this time, his attributes are:

"Dokujutsu: (Dual Magatama Sharingan), progress 86.3%.

Physical skills: (the fifth gate, Dumen), progress 32.1%.

Chakra: (Jounin level), progress 4.3%.

Tailed Beast: One Tail, fusion degree 43%"

Compared to before leaving the village, his attributes at this time have undergone earth-shaking changes.

The eye technique that had just evolved to double magatama had made a great progress, and it seemed that the next step of three magatama was not far away.

As for physical skills and chakra, they were directly advanced by one level, reaching the fifth gate and jonin level respectively.

As for the tailed beasts, perhaps because of the use of the tailed beast coat, the degree of fusion is much higher than before.

As expected, fighting against opponents of higher levels is the best way to practice, even though it is somewhat life-threatening.

Just as Kagura was delighted that her strength had become stronger again, there was a knock on the door of the ward.

Chapter 24 The new team leader is...

Following Kagura's response, the person outside the door walked in.

The person who came was Sarutobi Hiruzen.

Compared to Tsunade, Sarutobi Hiruzen didn't seem to be seriously injured and was still dressed in his usual attire.

He walked to Kagura's bed, looked her up and down, then smiled and said:

"It seems that you are okay?"

Kagura nodded in agreement.

Sarutobi Hiruzen pulled out a chair beside him and sat down.

There was a sudden silence between the two.

It was Sarutobi Hiruzen who broke the silence first. He glanced at Kagura with a teasing look, then said with a smile:

"Tsunade should have just left. I heard that she stayed by your bedside all day yesterday."

Hearing Tsunade's topic, Kagura's face also showed a trace of embarrassment, and she could only stammer and answer:

"ah...

Yes, she always cares about her companions.”

"is it?

But it seemed that after waking up, she didn't go to see Orochimaru and Jiraiya.

I will stay with you forever."

Sarutobi Hiruzen didn't seem to want to let Kagura go, so he continued.

Perhaps before he could still naively think that Tsunade's feelings for Kagura were just ordinary friendship.

But he is just a bit straight, not a fool.

Tsunade's behavior over the past two days clearly shows that she is interested in this kid.

This is not good news for him who is about to become Hokage.

In response to Sarutobi Hiruzen's questioning, the muscles on Kagura's face twitched slightly.

Then he just closed his eyes and didn't answer.

Seeing Kagura's cheating look, Sarutobi Hiruzen smiled and shook his head, then spoke again:

“Actually, I’m very happy.”

???

Hearing this, Kagura opened her eyes in confusion and looked over.

What are you happy about?

Happy Konoha's first pervert who seduces little girls has appeared?

Seeing Kagura's questioning look, Sarutobi Hiruzen explained:

"I was very happy when you stood in front of Tsunade without hesitation that day.

You are very outstanding. Even in the Warring States Period, your talent is extremely brilliant.

But you are too outstanding, so you never have the concept of companions.

However, I was very pleased when you bravely stood up for your companions in the face of the Golden Horn's attack that day."

Looking at Sarutobi Hiruzen's sincere eyes, Kagura hesitated for a few seconds before replying:

"I didn't think much about it at the time, it was just a subconscious move."

Hearing Kagura's words, Sarutobi Hiruzen's smile widened. He smiled softly and said:

"That's right. Subconscious actions can reveal your true inner intentions."

Having said that, he stood up and walked to the window, looking towards the highest point of Konoha.

There is the most famous symbol of Konoha Village, the head statues representing successive Hokage.

At this time, workers were busy working on it, and the third portrait was slowly taking shape.

Looking closely, it was the portrait of Sarutobi Hiruzen.

Looking at the busy scene in the distance, Sarutobi Hiruzen said again:

"Do you know the origin of the name Konoha?"

Although she knew that Sarutobi Hiruzen couldn't see it, Kagura still nodded subconsciously and replied:

“I know, this is the name given by Uchiha Madara, the full name is Konoha Ninja Village.

"Wood" refers to the Senju clan of the forest represented by Hashirama Senju who can use Wood Release.

'Leaf' refers to the Uchiha clan, whose family crest is in the shape of a fan leaf."

“Yes, the Uchiha clan has been a very important member of Konoha Village since its founding.

Because of this, the Uchiha have always played an important role in guarding the village."

Having said this, Sarutobi Hiruzen turned to look at Kagura and continued:

“Indeed, due to Uchiha Madara, the Second-generation Lord Tobirama has always been on guard against your clan.

And now Danzo seems to have inherited this idea and has always had some opinions about you.

But I am different, I trust all my companions in the village."

At this time, a breeze blew outside the window, and several fallen leaves were blown off the tree, dancing to the accompaniment of the wind.

Looking at the dancing leaves, a glimmer of fire seemed to ignite in Sarutobi Hiruzen's eyes.

He said with a tone of emotion:
