In Konoha, Naruto lies down

When I woke up, it was already dark.

The lights were off in the room. A dark figure sat at the desk, flipping through Naruto's training plan. The dim light let out a faint rustling sound, then suddenly stopped.

"Awake? Naruto." An old and familiar voice sounded, with a hint of gentleness and kindness.

The moment the light comes on, it illuminates the entire room.

The Third Daemon Sarutobi Hiruzen was sitting at the desk, smiling broadly, and turned to look at Naruto with a smile. On the desk lay Naruto's brand new forehead protector, diary, and cookbook.

"Hokage-sama." Naruto rubbed his eyes sleepily and called out.

"Didn't you call me Grandpa Hokage before?" The Sandaime was stunned for a moment, then laughed and said, "What's wrong? Are you unfamiliar with it now that you've become a ninja?"

"Hehe." Naruto scratched his head a little embarrassedly, "I am already a qualified ninja. It is not appropriate to call me that anymore."

Hearing this, Sarutobi Hiruzen smiled and gave up, then asked.

"Did you forget something today?"

"What happened?" Naruto looked puzzled. After thinking for a long time, he remembered that an Anbu ninja seemed to have come and asked him to find the Sandaime.

"Ah! I forgot!"

"You little brat...really!" The Sandaime glanced at him helplessly, "But it's normal for you to rest."

"Hokage-sama, is there something you want to talk to me about?" Naruto asked.

"This isn't a big deal." Sarutobi Hiruzen said, "I want to ask about Naruto's future dreams."

"My dream is to lie flat." Naruto said without thinking.

"Lie down?" The Sandaime was puzzled.

"It's about living a stable and easy life," Naruto explained.

"Have young people become like this now? It's me who can't keep up with the times." The third generation said self-deprecatingly.

"But wasn't Naruto's dream to become Hokage?"

"What is life like after becoming Hokage? Are you happy?" Naruto asked.

"Well..." The Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen coughed and said, "I'm usually quite busy, and sometimes Konohamaru would complain that I can't accompany him."

"But to protect the village and its people, this responsibility drives me to keep going forward, even to the point of risking my life for the village. I think I'm probably happy."

"Well, this is the life of Hokage-sama. It's really hard." Naruto said, sitting cross-legged on the bed, "But I don't want to live such a tiring life. I don't want to be looked at with strange eyes anymore."

"For someone like me, even to have a fresh meal I have to consider whether the store owner will sell me the vegetables. Even if I become Hokage, nothing will change."

"If Naruto becomes Hokage, he will definitely be loved by the people in the village in the future." Sarutobi Hiruzen persuaded.

"But Hokage-sama, I'm doing pretty well now." Naruto said, holding his head. "If I don't make mistakes and slowly become an ordinary person, everyone will forget their hatred for me."

"I don't know why so many people are hostile to me, but I want to become a ninja, so I probably won't have to deal with such looks anymore."

The Sandaime wanted to say something more, but some words got stuck in his throat, and he didn't have the face to speak them out. He knew that it was his negligence that had led to the child's current state.

The ice is three feet thick and it didn't freeze overnight. Naruto is optimistic by nature, and his current state is obviously caused by years of hostility.

If we want to change Naruto's attitude, we may need to guide him slowly in the future.

"Naruto, if the enemy breaks into the village in the future and wants to hurt the people you care about, what will you do then?" asked the Sandaime.

Naruto thought about it, and after a moment's reflection he looked at the Sandaime and said seriously.

"do not know."

The Sandaime left without further ado.

Naruto sat at the desk where the Sandaime had sat, stroking his forehead protector, his gaze gradually becoming indifferent. Although this system may appear to be a flat system, it is actually involuntarily.

Naruto can lie down and still get stronger. There are easier ways to get stronger, so why not just lie down?

Lie down and roll others inward.

In this terrifying world where power is supreme, those without power will be at the mercy of others.

Tomorrow is the day to assign the team leader, Kakashi, we will meet soon.

Chapter 10 Ninja World

The next morning, Naruto struggled to get up early.

Three days of rest made Naruto almost forget that he was still a ninja. In this world without mobile phones and unable to afford computers, there were hardly any entertainment activities.

Naruto couldn't understand it either. Electricity clearly existed in the Naruto world. And this electricity wasn't generated by the human body's lightning release, but was real civilian electricity.

This proves that the world's technological level has entered the electrical age. Electric poles, televisions, refrigerators, and even air conditioners and washing machines and dryers can be seen everywhere in Konoha Village.

Naruto's current situation is that he is an orphan who receives subsistence allowances, a Genin with no background, no money, and no abilities.

The old refrigerator at home had broken down a long time ago. Naruto scratched his head for a long time but couldn't figure out how to fix it, so on the first day of his time travel, he got several bottles of expired milk.

But Naruto’s relief money is also quite generous, and as long as it does not involve the purchase of large items, it will be enough to meet normal life needs.

Generally, relief funds will stop being distributed the moment Naruto becomes a ninja, and after that he will have to rely on taking on various tasks to be self-sufficient.

After arriving in this world for about half a month, Naruto had a general understanding of the technology in this world. The development of technology in this world was relatively weak, and it felt like the technology tree was skewed.

The emergence of ninjas has promoted the development of science and technology, but the extraordinary energy of chakra has also hindered the progress of science and technology in some aspects.

For example, the third generation Sarutobi Hiruzen, who possesses five chakra attributes, does not need a lighter to light a cigarette, and only needs a crystal ball to monitor people.

The power and convenience of ninjutsu have made people focus on the struggles and fights for territory. Since the founding of Konoha by the first generation of the Ninja God, countless Ninja World Wars have been fought.

In times of war, technology struggles to develop rapidly. Since ninjas are the protagonists of this world, technology is naturally developed around the needs of ninjas.

In order to facilitate communication, there are communication devices within the village, but the cross-border and even cross-village communication systems are very outdated due to the sensitive nature of intelligence.

When necessary, technology will give way to ninjutsu.

What concerns Naruto more is not only the distorted technology tree of this world, but also the level of weapons in this world.

Ninjas almost all use traditional cold weapons, and the most advanced one is the chakra dagger used by Kakashi's father, Konoha White Fang.

Or perhaps it's a weapon transformed from a summoned beast, such as the Sandaime's Ninja Beast Monkey. Another example is the seven ninja swords wielded by the cursed Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Hidden Mist Village.

On the contrary, artifacts such as the Kusanagi Sword, the Totsuka Sword, and the Amasawa Spear, the Golden Rope, the Seven Star Sword, and the Red Gourd left by the Six Paths Sage seem a bit useless.

By the time they came out, they were no longer able to defeat the bloodline cheaters that were everywhere.

But what about heat-sensitive weapons?

It seems that apart from Scorpion, a member of the Akatsuki organization born in the Sand Village, who has powerful firepower, there is the Shura Path created by the puppeteer in Pain Path, which has various tracking missiles and even laser cannons flying around.

The development of thermal weapons seemed to rely on the puppeteer group. Although high-tech weapons such as chakra armor and even airships and steamships with the characteristics of the steam age had appeared in the distant Snow Country, due to the geographical limitations, cold weapons were still dominated by large kunai launchers.

The Sky Ninja Village even has an aircraft carrier battle group called the Sky Fortress. Even though this aircraft carrier battle group is not nuclear-powered, it still has a certain deterrent power.

In general, up to now, due to the factors of war, the conflicts among the major ninja villages in this world have accumulated for a long time, making it difficult to achieve peace.

Under this premise, ninjas, as the primary force actively preparing for war, naturally took precedence over technology. Technology, for the time being, could not develop independently of ninjas and remained severely limited.

The emergence of ninjas changed the world's pattern, and the world pattern under the Cold War also restricted the development of science and technology.

After washing up, Naruto looked at his sleepy self in the mirror and yawned. He threw his toothbrush into the cup and ended his random thoughts in the bathroom.

After getting dressed and going out, when he arrived at the Ninja School, there were already many people in the classroom. Naruto's late arrival still attracted some people's attention, but no one came forward to greet him.

Everyone was discussing who their teammates would be and which senior ninja would be their leader. Ninja teams were divided into groups of three.

Since the end of the Second Shinobi World War, Tsunade, as the medical ninja among the three ninjas, has been recognized by the top management for her role in the team.

To a certain extent, having a female medical ninja in the team will greatly improve the team's survival rate and mission completion rate. Since then, the tradition of two men and one woman has been retained.

This was Konoha's explanation to the outside world, but Naruto understood that this was only part of Konoha's explanation. The more embarrassing reason was that Konoha had almost lost all its people in the years of war.

The ninja village itself is a militarized camp, and wars are all about indiscriminate charging and fighting. It is obviously unrealistic to have a female medical ninja in a team of three.

Therefore, after Tsunade proposed the idea of ​​a two-man-one-woman team, Konoha's top brass was unimpressed. Some even thought it was an overly idealistic idea that Tsunade came up with out of grief after her brother Nawaki's death.

But years of war finally forced the top leaders to accept Tsunade's proposal. The high casualty rate had left Konoha with few people to send to the battlefield, and in the end even teenagers had to go to the battlefield.

If we don’t equip ourselves with medical ninjas, I’m afraid even the elderly and weak women will have to go to the battlefield holding kunai.

"Naruto, aren't you curious about what kind of people your companions will be?" asked Choji, pushing Naruto, who was staring blankly with dead eyes.

"I'm not curious, I'm not curious at all." Naruto said with his head in his hands, bored. "Even if others are nervous, why are you three joining in the fun?"

As he spoke, Naruto's eyes swept over Shikamaru, Chouji, and Ino.

"The village's Pig, Deer, and Chou combination. If I were Hokage, I would never separate you."

Hearing this, Ino groaned and complained.

"Teaming up with the two of them? How annoying!"

"Trouble." Shikamaru muttered.

"Hehe." Shikamaru seemed very happy. Perhaps this way he wouldn't have to be separated from his childhood friend.

Perhaps because of how they grew up, Shikamaru and Choji have never thought of Ino as a girl.

And Ino seemed to always have her eyes on Sasuke, with her carefree personality like a little boy.

Chapter 11 Team 's First Intelligence Sharing

Iruka walked into the classroom and announced the grouping. Sure enough, the classes were divided into groups of three.

"Team Seven!"

Naruto was stunned when he heard this. Team 7 was first on the list? The Sandaime must have made this decision after careful consideration.

However, will the class division be different from the original plot?

In this graduation exam, Naruto came first, Sasuke came second, and Sakura came third. If we were to look at the results alone, wouldn't it be a bit biased to put them all in the same class?

"Haruno Sakura!"

Sakura, who was called, was stunned for a moment, then became nervous again.

"Uzumaki Naruto!"

Sure enough, he had already guessed the result.

Sakura on the side seemed a little happy. After all, who wouldn't want to have a powerful companion?

After changing his soul, Naruto did not stick to her. Sakura did not hate Naruto, and the two of them still had a normal classmate relationship.

Even though he was determined to lie down, his strength was far superior to that of his classmates. This aroused Sakura's curiosity, and she felt that Naruto seemed to have grown up overnight.

I'm curious, but not to the point of having a liking for her.

"Sasuke Uchiha!"

As soon as she finished speaking, Sakura stood up instantly, with an expression of uncontrollable joy on her face.

"Great!"

"Trouble." Sasuke snorted in displeasure.

"Next is Team 8." Iruka's voice sounded again.

Naruto listened quietly, finding no difference from the original plot. Suddenly, he seemed to notice something and turned his head sharply, looking towards the corner of the back row on the right, where he happened to meet someone's gaze.

Hinata hurriedly looked away, her face instantly burning like a clumsy thief.

After the class division was completed, Sasuke did not leave immediately.

"Let's go out and have a meal together," Naruto suggested.

"Okay!" Sakura seemed very happy. She glanced at Sasuke beside her and agreed to the proposal without thinking. She silently gave Naruto a big thumbs up in her heart!

"No." Sasuke refused coldly.

Hearing this, Naruto was not too surprised. He stopped, turned to look at Sasuke, and asked.

"Are you unconvinced and want to go home and practice?"

"What does it have to do with you?" Sasuke's eyes were filled with alienation and indifference.

If someone else was treated like this, they would be angry, but Naruto completely ignored the little tsundere of Master Nishikuni.

"Let's be frank. Your attitude is just a waste of time." Naruto said, "We are already partners. This cannot be changed."
