It's half past two in the afternoon, the sun is high and the temperature is hot.
Konoha.
This big sun makes people want to doze off.
Naruto didn't go to sleep. A force called pretentiousness was driving him, making him look for someone to show off to.
Yes,
"Am I really alone?"
Naruto Thinking carefully about the people and friends I know, there are only a few or a dozen people.
Not even more than twenty.
"Hey!"
Naruto sighed deeply, and was suddenly enveloped in a touch of sadness.
"Hey!"
In the distance, the same sigh came.
Naruto looked up and saw a big white hair coming out of Hokage Building.
This big white hair is undoubtedly Jiraiya.
He also sighed.
And with his lonely look, for some reason, Naruto always felt that this old man might not have learned 'Telescope Technique' from Third Hokage, and therefore felt that life was not worth it.
"As expected of you, Pervy Sage!"
Seeing the old man's lonely back walking away, Naruto suddenly no longer felt sad, and a smile suddenly appeared on his face.
This old man really doesn't change his original intention! '
I wanted to go up there and show off, but I was just a Jonin, and there was really nothing to show off like the old man.
Only people of the same age are interesting.
However,
Naruto Count it in detail.
Team Eight and Team Ten have all been searched. As for the third shift where Lee Neji is located, I don't know where they went to perform the task, and they can't find anyone.
"It's weird, I always feel like there's someone else here?"
Who?
Naruto thought hard.
Thought of it! It's Karin!
The red-haired one is from Kusagakure, a Uzumaki Clan person who immigrated directly to Konoha because his village was destroyed.
After a moment of recollection, Naruto remembered everything.
Due to identity verification reasons, she had been cooperating with Konoha for identity verification. Kakashi-sensei said that the verification would be completed after Chunin Ninja Exams.
However, due to many things after the exam, Naruto forgot about it for a while.
"She should be here now"
Close your eyes and let go of perception.
This girl's Chakra is very special, Naruto can sense it.
But she is still in prison?
No one brought her out?
'Fortunately, I remembered her. Otherwise, this girl can't live in prison forever, right? '
After a while.
Naruto was in prison, no, he received Karin in the guest house of the prison.
"Woooooo~~~"
As soon as they met, Uzumaki Karin stepped forward and hugged Naruto.
She cried heartbreakingly, and within a moment, Naruto felt her shoulders getting wet.
I tried it twice and it didn't come apart.
never mind.
Seeing Karin's conspicuous red hair, Naruto always reminds her of her biological mother, and she suddenly feels a sense of intimacy.
On the backside that Naruto couldn't see, Karin was whimpering, with the corners of her mouth slightly raised, and her eyes full of joy at successfully stealing the chicken.
I cried for a while.
Just when Naruto thought Karin's tears had dried up, he wanted to push Karin away, only to find that Karin looked like an octopus.
"There seems to be something wrong with this girl." Naruto had a dark look on his face.
Pulling Karin away, I saw her curling her lips and looking aggrieved.
Woman, you really know how to act.
With a low sigh, Naruto didn't care, but arranged Karin's residence, "You don't have a home in Konoha. It will take a few days for the village to allocate a house to you. Now that you have no place to live, you can live at Sasuke's hot spring first."
Hearing this, Karin said anxiously, "Where you are is home, I. I want to live with you!"
Naruto sneered at the corner of his mouth.
Woman, your name is 'shameless'.
Under Naruto's gaze, Karin's face turned red, but she still looked at Naruto bravely and proactively.
With this temper, Naruto felt a little headache, "Just live at Sasuke's place, as for work."
Naruto pondered for a moment.
Work is not easy to arrange.
Each team has no shortage of members for the time being.
Otherwise, just arrange it at Root?
At this moment, Naruto thought of the organization that belonged to him - Root Organization.
The memory from Danzo makes Naruto very familiar with this organization, both in terms of location and personnel.
More specific details can only be discussed tomorrow.
Because, Naruto asked Third Hokage to issue an order this morning to let everyone in Root gather tomorrow.
So, we won't see you again until at least tomorrow.
Regarding Root's arrangements, Naruto is planning to perform major surgery on Root tomorrow.
Among them, it is no problem to arrange a small role like Karin.
Rejecting Karin's idea of living together, Naruto resolutely arranged for her to stay in a hot spring owned by Sasuke.
"Karin, I will treat guests at Barbecue Q in the evening. You can go for dinner if you have time." Before leaving, Naruto thought about it and sent out the invitation.
This is a good opportunity for Karin to integrate into Konoha.
'Is he dating me? '
Karin After listening, a pair of small eyes shone with a strange light.
"I will definitely go!"
"Ghana~~"
Karin thought it was a solo date with Naruto, but after arriving at the scene, the situation was completely beyond her expectation.
There were a lot of people, there were a total of twelve people besides her!
And she, who was carefully dressed, could only be squeezed into a corner on this table.
As the protagonist, Naruto was naturally the central figure tonight, and was surrounded by everyone to congratulate him.
Facing this group of strangers, as an 'outsider', she could only look at the shining man silently.
At this moment, Naruto looked around at the group of sages, feeling suddenly filled with pride.
Summarize the lessons learned from the failure of selecting Hokage last time.
Naruto discovered that there was no other reason except that he was wrong in the Senate because there were too few people in Jonin's team.
If all these twelve people are trained into Jonin, and their power becomes the overwhelming majority in Jonin Commander, who will be able to disobey his orders?
"Naruto-kun!"
When Naruto was full of passion and ambition, a shy and timid voice sounded in his ears.
He turned to look.
I saw Hinata with his head lowered, his beautiful white eyes not daring to look at Naruto.
She tremblingly handed over an exquisitely decorated box, "To celebrate Naruto-kun's promotion to Jonin, this is a gift for you."
The more she spoke, the softer her voice became, and a bright red blush spread across her face.
Naruto chuckled.
Sure enough, compared to Ino, he still prefers the shy Hinata.
"Thank you~"
Naruto took it carelessly.
The moment he accepted the gift, Hinata's face turned even redder when he felt the touching fingers.
She immediately buried her head deeply again.
Everyone at the table was chatting while eating, chatting with Sasuke next to Chunin Ninja Exams about Chunin Ninja Exams's follow-up. Naruto turned around and found that she was still lowering her head.
"Don't just lower your head and eat something. Aren't you hungry?"
"Okay."
She picked up the chopsticks and without even raising her blushing head, she took the food and put it into her mouth.
"Hey~ That's raw!"
Karma~?
Hinata raised his head in confusion, the confusion in his eyes overshadowing the shyness for a moment.
"Hurry up and drink a glass of water to calm down the shock." Naruto quickly handed over a glass of water.
Hinata Drink it in one gulp.
"Huh? I took it by mistake. This seems to be my water glass."
Karma?
Hinata was stunned again. His confused face was suddenly stained with thick blood red, and he was about to transform into a steam girl.
"Sorry, I was joking." Naruto laughed.
So fun and spicy.
After the meal, the dining table became more and more lively.
The topic discussed by everyone is traveling to all over the world.
Naruto listened to the topic and inserted a few sentences from time to time, but the chopsticks in his hands did not stop, always turning the meat and vegetables.
Mainly because I eat it myself and give it to Hinata next to me.
At the last dinner party, Naruto suddenly discovered that Hinata had a huge appetite, which was not noticeable at ordinary times.
Naruto feels that this little girl is starving herself all the time, right?
Therefore, fearing that she would not have enough to eat, he always brought her food from time to time.
Actually,
Most of the food he baked was actually taken away by the opposite party Choji.
This is also the reason why Choji grabbed this position.
Choji: Family, who knows, everything Naruto has touched with his chopsticks is so delicious that you will be moved to tears after taking one bite. Eating barbecue with Naruto is like heaven!
The night is getting deeper.
The dinner party ended here. After settling the bill, Naruto found that Choji was really delicious.
No, Hinata is more edible.
Looking at that ordinary girl, Naruto just felt that she had a stomach as big as a bottomless pit.
However, when he thought of her cute appearance when she burped, Naruto smiled again.
"See you tomorrow~!"
Say goodbye to each other and the teachers.
Naruto was walking home alone.
Looking back, I saw that I was not alone, there were two followers behind me.
"What for?"
Looking at these two followers, it's so dark. What do these two want to do if they don't go home and sleep?
"Go see Teacher Leopard."
Sasuke and Sakura take it for granted.
Forehead.
Naruto has a headache and seems to have forgotten about this matter.
However, this reminds Naruto that if you want to strengthen the combat power of the twelve people, Training Space's special training is indispensable.
But we can't just set up a big shop and bring them all to Training Space, right?
"There has to be a way." After muttering, Naruto turned around and continued walking.
Four hours later.
"Pah——"
Facing Sasuke and Sakura who wanted to stay overnight, Naruto refused and decisively closed the door.
Besides, he has a mission tonight, how can he let the two of them stay overnight?
The sky was so dark that not even a single star could be seen, let alone the moon.
"When the moon is dark and the wind is high, people are killing people and setting fires."
Jiejiejie~~
Naruto Put on the mask and let's go!
Location: Konoha Prison.
This is a dark dungeon with no sunlight all day long.
Flying Thunder God In a flash, the illusion skills defeated the two guards and arrived in front of the dungeon.
Staring coldly at the disheveled figure inside the railing, Naruto grinned an evil smile.
"Orochimaru, do you have a dream?"
