In a prosperous commercial street in the capital of the River Nation, Chiba brought some local specialties for Ino, Shikamaru, and the others before returning to the meeting point they had agreed on.
Ten minutes later.
Class 9, gather here.
"Alright, the mission is complete. Let's go back to the village.”
Bai Yunzao waved his hand.
Just like that.
The four of them started their journey east from the Country of Rivers. Without any caravans, they quickly returned to the village. It had only been a few days, and the leaves had not changed much.
At the entrance of the village, they registered at the two ninjas guarding the door. Then, they went to the Naruto Building to hand in the mission. After distributing the mission money, White Cloud dismissed the team in the morning and let them do their own things. They had a good rest for two days and would gather at the usual place the day after tomorrow to complete the mission.
White Cloud Morning stayed in Naruto's office.
The door closed with a bang.
The atmosphere was a little heavy.
The third-generation successor blew out a smoke ring and said,"Morning, how's the situation over there?"”
"There are indeed some strange movements in Sharen Village. The ninjas at the border have become more frequent, and..." Bai Yunzao pursed his lips and looked at the third-generation successor.
"Just say it."
"I heard from some of the merchants who came to Sharen Village that these days, Sharen has been spreading some news. His recent behavior was rather strange.”
Bai Yunzao continued.
"Look at this."
The third-generation successor took out a document.
"This is…?"
Bai Yunzao took the document and held it in his hand. He didn't care if he could read the document or not. Since the third generation had handed it to him directly, he could definitely read it.
Looking at it, he saw a few big words.
'A statement regarding the Ninja Village Joint Chuunin Test.'
The third-generation successor looked at Bai Yunzao and said,"" This is a message from a messenger from Shin Village two days ago. Shin Village wants to hold a joint Chuunin exam with us. Of course, people from small villages like Otoshi Village will also participate.”
"There's a problem with Shinobu."
Bai Yunzao said.
"Yes, but this exam has already been approved by the two great names. During the finals, even the great names will come to visit. The grand occasion of this exam can be said to be unprecedented.”
The third-generation successor was smoking.
"We have no choice but to accept it!"
......
Chiba was walking on the streets of Kiba. It was April now, and the time for the Chuunin exam was getting closer and closer. She was thinking about some things.
Mountain Flower Shop.
"Welcome to Mountain Flower Shop." A woman with an orchid-like temperament walked out of the flower shop. She was Ino's mother." Is Chiba here to look for Ino? Ino wasn't home, so he should be on a mission with his team.”
Qian Ye nodded.
He took out an exquisite small gift box from his pocket and said,"Auntie, this is a specialty I brought from the River Nation. It's for Ino.”
"Do you want me to help you give it to Ino?"
"Thank you, Auntie."
Qian Ye smiled.
"Alright."
Ino's mother nodded.
"I won't disturb you anymore. Goodbye, Auntie.”Chiba waved her hand, then turned around and walked in the other direction. If Ino wasn't home, Shikamaru and Juji weren't either.
Qian Ye shook his head." Let's go."”
And... Naruto.
Zhu Ludie and Naruto were the few who had the best relationship with Chiba among the Twelve Unyielding Experts. Although the others had a good relationship, they were generally more distant than this.
"Qian Ye, do you want to stay for dinner?”
"No need, Aunt Yoshino."
This was at Nara's house.
Immediately after, Qian Ye went to the Autumn Daoist School.
The young master of the Qiu Dao family held the small box in his hand and looked at Qian Ye's back as she left. A smile appeared on his face." Kyokuke's child…" Ding Ci, you've made a good friend.”
The Yuan Family had a good relationship with Zhu Ludie and the fourth generation families.
The relationship between the older generation was also passed down.
After a few more generations, they would be family friends.
5 PM.
Chiba arrived at Naruto's house.
Naruto is not here.
Chiba activated Kagura's Heart's Eye and found Naruto's location. When she realized that Naruto was on his way home, Chiba prepared to wait at the door for a while.
About ten minutes later.
Naruto had returned.
His body was drenched in sweat, and his face looked a little tired.
"Naruto."
"Qian Ye?"
When he saw Chiba, Naruto was pleasantly surprised. The fatigue on his face was swept away.
"This is for you."
Qian Ye handed the box to him.
"This is?"
"A present." Chiba said," Didn't I go to the Kingdom of River for an escort mission recently? This is a souvenir I bought at the Kingdom of River.”
"Do you want to open it now?”
"I don't want to."
Naruto shook his head. If he opened it in person, there would be no surprise. When he was dating Chiba, Naruto was always careful. He was afraid of losing this friend...
"Hey, Qianye, how's the River Country?”
"The scenery is very beautiful."
"I see. Tomorrow, our team will be going out of the village to carry out a C-rank mission in the Country of Waves.”
The Country of Waves mission…
The main character team's novice village.
The first step to growth.
"Be careful."
"Yes…"
"Then I'll walk back first, okay?"
"I... I'll bring you a gift too…" Naruto whispered.
"What?"
"No." Naruto scratched his head and smiled." Goodbye, Chiba."”
"Okay, goodbye."
Qian Ye turned around.
It felt...
Something seemed to be staring at him inside Naruto's body. Was it Nine Tails?
Nine-tailed chakra
A notification sounded.
Walking on the street home, Qian Ye happened to hear a notification sound beside her ear." As expected…"
Nine-Tailed should have been looking at him just now.
Then the time I Love Luo was the time when I was guarding the crane…
