In Naruto's office in Kiba Village, Tsunami was listening to Shikamaru's report with a frown.
"Sigh, Lord Naruto, this mission didn't succeed and we almost lost a few lives. This is all my responsibility as the squad leader! Please punish me!" Shikamaru looked apologetic.
Okami raised her head and looked deeply at Shikamaru's tender face. After a long time, she revealed an encouraging smile."It's not your fault this time. Actually, even sending out a Jounin might not necessarily be successful for people like the Onin Five. You're already a very wise leader for not losing a single ninja in the village! Shikamaru!"
"But…" Shikamaru knew that this mission was indeed a little forced, but he still felt terrible. It was his first time leading a team, but he had lost so badly.
At this moment, the sound of knocking could be heard.
The conversation between the two was interrupted. A white-haired uncle was looking at them with a wretched smile. It was self-love! Shikamaru was stunned for a moment before he regained his senses. He looked at Kirai opening the window and jumping in as if nothing had happened. There was a hint of respect on his face. He was one of the legendary Three Ninjas, on the same level as Tsune-sama. His strength must be very strong!
Okami smiled at Kirai,"You're back so soon?" What happened this time?”
Zirai walked to the desk, picked up the teacup on the table, and drank the tea in one gulp. She glanced at Shikamaru. Okami understood and signaled Shikamaru to leave first.
After Shikamaru left, Zirai sighed with a serious expression."Sigh, this time, I received a very bad news!”
"Is it about Naruto?" Okami's expression gradually darkened.
"Yes, do you still remember the incident of Uchiha Weasel returning to the village? Their goal was Naruto. To be precise, they were here for the nine tails in his body!”
After a pause, Zi Lai also continued,"So, I'm worried that Naruto will continue to stay in the village. It's better to let him stay by my side and let me protect him. After all, I'm still a little worried about the village's defense! For a powerhouse like Uchiha Weasel, the village's defense was useless!”
Okami frowned and pondered. He slowly raised his head, and his eyes had already made up his mind."Alright, let Naruto follow you. I believe that you can train him to become a powerhouse like Shuizun! And now, I've discovered that Naruto has a great talent in swordsmanship!”
"Oh? Saber technique? What's going on?" Zirai was a little surprised. Since when did Naruto know swordsmanship? Since I hadn't used a knife before I left the village, he was very surprised that I used a knife now.
"It's like this..."
。。。。。。。
On the Muye street, I slowly walked forward alone. The bustling crowd around me seemed so far away to me. Right now, all I could think about was cultivation! Ever since yesterday's battle in the Valley of Eradication, I realized that my abilities had improved a lot. After two consecutive breakthroughs, my strength had already firmly entered the Jounin level. My saber techniques had also grasped the essence of the " Light Wind Slash." With my current overall strength, I could even completely defeat an ordinary Jounin! However, I haven't made much progress in my ninjutsu. Even the Shun Body Technique has limited room for improvement, not to mention the Spiral Ball. Without mastering the wind attribute change, it's impossible to improve the Spiral Ball.
Just as he was worrying about his future cultivation, a crisp female voice suddenly came from the corner of the street ahead."Naruto!"
I snapped back to my senses and focused my gaze. Xiao Ying, who had short pink hair, was standing gracefully at a corner of the street in front of me. She was smiling at me.
I walked over after a slight pause and greeted,"Xiao Ying, what's the matter?"
Xiao Ying came to my side with a smile on her face. She looked at me with a hint of anticipation."Well... Naruto, yesterday's mission...”
"Oh!" When I heard this, I suddenly realized something and cried out in my heart. Why did this scene sound so familiar? A look of embarrassment and guilt flashed across my face before I forced myself to calm down."I'm sorry, I couldn't bring back Sasuke! But…"
However, before I could finish, Xiao Ying's calm voice interrupted me,""I understand, Naruto. Thank you, you've worked very hard!”However, I could hear a trace of trembling in her words.
"Sakura, I will bring back Sasuke!”Looking at the heartbroken expression on her tender face, I really couldn't bear it, so I swore. However, I knew that I would never be able to bring back Sasuke in my life. Therefore, I felt ashamed that I could lie to such an innocent little girl against my conscience.
But that was the truth. I could only pat her shoulder comfortingly."Sakura, don't be too sad. I promise you, Sasuke will definitely come back!”
I turned around and left. I sighed in my heart. I can't even manage my own affairs now. How can I have the time to care about your Sasuke? I knew that my heart was getting further and further away from these friends in the midst of all these lies.。。。
Xiao Ying stood rooted to the ground. Her expression seemed to be filled with grief, self-blame, and helplessness. She looked at my back and turned to leave.
He said that he wanted to bring me to cultivate and train my abilities in all aspects. It was also to help me deal with future difficulties. Of course, I agreed without hesitation. I knew that it was my honor to be able to be a disciple of Selaiya. All of his disciples stood at the peak of the Ninja Realm. Naruto's father, the Water Gate of Waves, had a deep understanding of the most mysterious Spatial Ninja Technique in the Ninja Realm at a young age. He had also created the legendary Flying Thunder God Technique. As for his other disciple, he was the leader of the Reincarnation Eyes, and he was the strongest person in Ninja World.
With anticipation and a little excitement in my heart, I set foot on the road out of the village with Zilai.
At the entrance, I saw my companions who came to send us off. Sakura, Ya, Shikamaru, Ding Ji, Ino, Tian Tian, Ning Ji, Xiao Li, Shino, and Hatata who was hiding at the corner of the street.
I had a sunny smile on my face as I waved at my companions. I turned around and left in a carefree manner."See you in three years, friends!”
