Back Mountain, waterfall.
Naruto was practicing quietly under the waterfall, with the golden light flowing on his exposed upper body, like a fleeting shadow. Even in the daytime, he is still dazzling.
Just yesterday, he had just fulfilled his first big dream.
That is, out of Konoha, become good friends with other Ninja Village ninjas.
This dream has been perfectly realized by Naruto.
In Land of Lightning Kumogakure, he also became good friends with the hot-tempered Raikage and his stepbrother Killer B who loves to rap.
Of course, other people from Kumogakure and Naruto will not be left behind.
After becoming friends with the ninja of Land of Lightning, Naruto came to Kirigakure of Land of Water. After a few months, the mess of Bloody Mist Incident left by Karatachi Yagura had been almost cleaned up by Mei Terumi.
We haven't seen each other for a few months. Mei Terumi is very enthusiastic and the service is very considerate. Mei Terumi welcomes Naruto from all walks of life. In order to thank Mei Terumi for his enthusiasm, Naruto is naturally not stingy. Vibration Force is willing to give everything to Vibration Force.
One greets each other across the road, and the other gives gifts to each other. It can be regarded as a courtesy exchange, and there is no sitting and riding.
After overthrowing the regime of Karatachi Yagura, Mei Terumi chose some Mist Ninja to follow him and send trophies to Konoha to Naruto. The Mist Ninja who followed at that time saw that Naruto's attitude towards Qing and Chojuro was completely different.
At that time, these Mist Ninja also thought that they and others could be Naruto's friends like Chojuro and Qing. That would be such an honor.
Back to Kirigakure, these Mist Ninja always feel very regretful when talking about this matter with their friends, and hate that they did not have enough courage to ask Master Naruto to become their friend.
Otherwise, I am now a friend of Mr. Naruto, and I can brag even if I chat with him for ten years.
Therefore, this time, after Naruto came to Kirigakure, all those Mist Ninjas took the initiative to ask to become friends with Naruto.
Seeing this scene, Chojuro and Qing's expressions were very exciting. However, they are also looking forward to the next scene.
Of course Naruto would not refuse such a friendly request. Besides, he came to Kirigakure just to become friends with the ninjas of Kirigakure.
Ever since, the entire Kirigakure, after friendly discussions again and again, also became friends of Naruto.
After that, other peninsula countries around Kirigakure and all the island countries also became friends of Naruto one after another.
The current situation, it can be said that Naruto has friends all over the world, and he can no longer suffer when going out.
The day after returning to Konoha, Naruto started practicing.
Now, the whole Ninja World is enjoying itself, and Naruto can practice with more peace of mind.
Moreover, because he has taken such a big step towards his dream, Naruto is in a very good mood, and his efficiency in practicing has been greatly increased.
The time of cultivation always goes by very quickly.
Naruto was practicing under the waterfall, and Sasuke was practicing outside the courtyard. During the few months of traveling, Sasuke was not neglecting his practice. Now, Sasuke is even more powerful.
He is also confident that in another month, he will be fully familiar with the cultivation experience of uncles Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan and Sasuke. By then, it will be the time for him to let Naruto experience a bruised nose and a swollen face.
Nagato is sitting in the yard basking in the sun. The winter sunshine is warm on people and makes them lazy.
Nagato closed his eyes, feeling extremely calm in his heart. The chaos in the world seemed to be completely far away from Nagato at this moment.
He began to like this kind of life a little bit, and fantasized in his heart that in the future, Yahiko would be resurrected, he, Yahiko, and Konan. In times like today, everyone would have a recliner and sit side by side in the yard, letting the lazy eyes shine on them. How happy it would be!
Oh, by the way, to realize such a scene, we have to wait until Konan Sunday.
Now Konan has to work six days a week, 12 hours a day, with only one day off on Sunday.
Nagato, who was imagining a better life, suddenly heard footsteps beside him. Nagato stopped imagining, opened his eyes, and saw Sasuke stopped practicing and walked into the yard.
"Sasuke, are you not practicing anymore?" Nagato asked. In his eyes, Sasuke is undoubtedly a hard-working ninja. In time, Sasuke's achievements will be very high, Nagato firmly believes.
Nagato has a good impression of Sasuke. He is hard-working and willing to ask for advice. When studying Ninjutsu, he often comes up with sudden ideas. The most important thing is that Sasuke, this young man, cares about himself very much.
Every day, Sasuke has to ask about his physical condition. For example, now, he has to ask again.
"It's almost lunch time. I'm going to help Kurama cook." Sasuke replied, then looked at Nagato's legs and said, "I heard Naruto say that you should be able to walk normally tomorrow, right?"
Hearing Sasuke's concern, Nagato smiled and replied, "Not bad, you can walk normally tomorrow."
After more than three months of treatment, Nagato is now able to walk. However, after walking for several hours, he still gets tired and has not returned to the same level of ease as ordinary people.
However, Naruto told him yesterday that he would be back to normal today, no different from ordinary people.
Nagato believes in Naruto. Although this is a bit incredible, Naruto's method is indeed miraculous.
Sasuke immediately smiled and said with a happy face, "Senior Nagato, congratulations, you can stand up tomorrow. I am so happy. Not only am I happy for you, Kurama is also happy for you."
"Thank you, Sasuke, for caring so much about my body." Nagato expressed his sincere gratitude.
"You're welcome." Sasuke changed the subject and said, "I hope you can come back tomorrow to thank me."
"What did you say?" Nagato didn't hear clearly what Sasuke said next.
"It's nothing, senior Nagato, you can continue to rest, I'm going to help Kurama." After saying that, Sasuke hurriedly walked to the kitchen, and when he arrived at the door, Sasuke turned back, glanced at Nagato, and whispered to himself, "What I said is, after you become friends with Naruto tomorrow, you can thank me again."
"Kurama, let me help you." Sasuke walked into the kitchen and said to Kurama.
"Okay, then you can help me taste the soup to see if it has enough salt." Kurama was wearing an apron, with his feet on the small bench, cooking.
As the saying goes, a quick hand is worse than a helper. With the help of Sasuke, lunch was ready in no time.
After preparing lunch, Kurama took off his apron and said to Sasuke, "Sasuke, you bring the dishes first, and I'll go get Naruto to eat."
After explaining Sasuke, Kurama rode a goat to the waterfall. Looking from a distance, he saw Naruto practicing under the waterfall. His whole body was shining with golden light, like a bright sun.
"Naruto, it's time to eat." Kurama sat on the back of the goat and shouted at the top of his lungs.
Naruto, who was practicing, heard Kurama's shout. Naruto immediately stopped practicing, put on Hokage robe, and came to Kurama's side with one step.
"Is it cooked?" Naruto asked.
"Yeah." Kurama nodded, and then talked about what he cooked today, saying that he specially selected Naruto's favorite dishes.
Ninja Village has been eating outside in the past few months. Kurama hasn't cooked for a long time. The whole fox seems excited to cook again.
Naruto also feels that the food he eats outside is not as delicious as what Kurama cooks. Now, his stomach can only be satisfied by Kurama.
Back at the residence, everyone was waiting at the dinner table, because Naruto had been away for the past few months, and Breeding Farm's affairs were all left to Orochimaru, Kabuto Yakushi, Zabuza and Bai.
After working hard for several months, Naruto planned to treat them to a meal this time as a token of appreciation for their hard work.
Naruto arrived, and everyone started to move immediately.
After eating, Zabuza and others returned to their residences for a lunch break. After the lunch break, they worked again.
Naruto and Nagato were in the yard. Naruto began to treat Nagato. Sasuke was watching from the side, looking very concerned about Nagato's leg problem.
"Senior Brother Nagato, you will be able to recover to the level before you were injured tomorrow, and you will no longer need to use a wheelchair." Naruto said after treating Nagato's leg disease.
Although he understood what Naruto said again, Nagato was still very happy to hear it again. He looked at Naruto and said sincerely, "Junior brother Naruto, thank you."
Sasuke and Kurama looked at each other, their eyes showing anticipation.
Iwagakure,
Wotou Building,
Ōnoki's office.
At this time, opposite Ōnoki, his son Kitsuchi was sitting, and in Ōnoki's hand was a piece of information that had just been delivered.
Ōnoki looked at the information, frowned slightly, and looked quite serious.
Kitsuchi, who was sitting opposite him, had long been accustomed to his father's look. The information in his father's hand was returned on Kirigakure's plate.
Whenever Naruto Uzumaki's information is sent to Tsuchikage Building, Ōnoki's expression becomes serious.
The atmosphere was somewhat quiet.
Finally, Ōnoki finished reading the information in his hand, put it down, sighed, looked at his son sitting opposite, and asked, "Kitsuchi, have you read this information?"
"Look, father." Kitsuchi nodded.
"What do you think of this information?" Ōnoki thought for a while and decided to listen to his son's thoughts.
"How do you see it?" Kitsuchi looked at his father in confusion and said honestly, "Father, I see it with my eyes."
Hearing this, Ōnoki was almost so angry that he almost couldn't recover. He looked at Ōnoki with an angry look on his face and cursed, "You... you have grown such a big body in vain, but you don't have a brain. Bag, originally, I planned to pass the destination location of Tsuchikage to you, but now it seems that you are worse off than Kurotsuchi. It is better to pass it on to you than to Kurotsuchi."
"Get out of here immediately and call Kurotsuchi in."
After being scolded by his father, Kitsuchi suddenly felt aggrieved and said loudly, "Get out of here, why are you talking so loudly? Besides, I really see with my eyes."
After saying that, Kitsuchi left Tsuchikage's office with regrets, closed the door, and Kitsuchi whispered, "I didn't want to be Tsuchikage in the first place, I wanted to be Tsuchikage's father. If you pass it on to Kurotsuchi, then wouldn't I be Tsuchikage's father?"
Thinking of this, Kitsuchi was very happy and turned around to find his daughter Kurotsuchi.
Soon, Kurotsuchi entered Tsuchikage's office, sat opposite Ōnoki, and asked, "Grandpa, are you looking for me? How did Dad offend Grandpa again?"
Ōnoki waved his hand and said calmly, "Don't mention him anymore. Grandpa has something to do with you this time."
"Yeah." Kurotsuchi nodded.
"Here is some information, take a look." With that said, Ōnoki put all the information collected on Naruto in front of Kurotsuchi.
Kurotsuchi picked up the information and started reading.
Ten minutes later, Kurotsuchi read the last piece of information, looked up at his grandfather Tsuchikage, and said, "Grandpa, this is all the information from Naruto."
"Well, tell me, what did you see in the intelligence?" Ōnoki looked at Kurotsuchi expectantly.
Kurotsuchi rolled his eyes, thought for a moment, and then said, "Hokage of Konoha, that is, Naruto Uzumaki, started from Konoha five months ago, first in Land of Shadows makes friends along the way, Land of Wind, we Land of Earth, Land of Lightning, Land of Water, no matter they are big or small countries, we have all become friends of Naruto."
"If Naruto wants to make friends, it can be done through normal diplomacy. There is no need to go to each country one by one. It can be done through friendly discussions. This is not like making friends, but more like a demonstration."
"And in just a few months, he actually became friends with all the ninjas in Ninja World. Did he really want to?"
When Kurotsuchi said this, she was shocked by her bold idea. She looked at Ōnoki and did not continue.
Ōnoki looked at Kurotsuchi and encouraged. "What does he want to do? Don't be afraid, just keep talking."
Kurotsuchi expressed his thoughts. "Could it be that Hokage of Konoha wants to unify Ninja World, and they come one by one Ninja Village, He defeated everyone from shadows to ordinary ninjas. This is a demonstration, a demonstration of strength. He wants to tell everyone in Ninja World that this is a friendly competition, and if you don't realize it, next time, it won't be a friendly competition to make friends."
Hearing Kurotsuchi's words, Ōnoki looked at Kurotsuchi with relief and sighed, "Kurotsuchi, you are so much better than your father. From now on, Iwagakure will have to rely on you."
This was clear. Kurotsuchi immediately said, "Grandpa, I..."
"Don't be too busy to refuse. Believe in yourself. Grandpa also details his own vision. Let's continue." Ōnoki returned to the topic and said, "You analyzed it well. This is indeed Naruto's ambition. Although he thought he had hidden it deeply, I still discovered it."
"I specially went to collect information about him. I have to say that Naruto Uzumaki is really a genius that Ninja World rarely produces in thousands of years. He has been strong and intelligent since he was a child. He first made friends with the descendants of the ninja family of Konoha in the name of friendly competition and making friends, so that the ninja family will be bound to him. Then when the time is right, he will kill Hiruzen Sarutobi and seize Hokage Position in one fell swoop."
"What a good method. Wisdom and strength are both indispensable."
"After capturing Konoha, he set his sights on Ninja World and other Ninja Village. Yes, he wanted to unify Ninja World and achieve world peace."
"Kurotsuchi, do you know what the last words he said when he left Iwagakure?" Finally, Ōnoki asked Kurotsuchi.
"The last words Iwagakure said when he left?" Kurotsuchi began to recall. When Naruto left Iwagakure, she was also present, so she could naturally remember it.
"He said we'll see you next time!" Kurotsuchi remembered and said.
