"I just want to pass out now."
"Then I will increase my efforts."
"Don't!" Naruto waved his hand quickly, "I was kidding!"
"I'm sober!"
"Very awake!"
Sakura nodded with satisfaction.
"That's good."
She continued to cast Medical Ninjutsu.
The green light is getting brighter and brighter.
Naruto's body started to heat up.
Those Chakra fragments are slowly waking up.
Although the process was painful, he could indeed feel the changes in his body.
Chakra is growing.
Although the growth rate is slow, it is indeed growing.
"Sakura." He said suddenly.
"Huh?"
"Can I ask you a question?"
"Ask."
"Why are you helping me?" Naruto said, "You are obviously very busy."
"Medical Department There are many wounded people who need treatment every day."
"But you still spend three hours a day to help me activate Chakra."
Sakura Stop.
"What nonsense are you talking about?" she said, "We are companions."
"If your companion is in trouble, of course you have to help."
"But..."
"No buts." Sakura said, "And you are Hokage."
"The village will be safe only when Hokage is strong."
"So helping you is helping the village."
Naruto looked at Sakura.
This girl who once only chased after Sasuke has grown into a medical ninja in her own right.
"Thank you." he said.
"You're welcome." Sakura smiled, "But if you really want to thank me, just lie down."
"Don't keep moving."
"Got it."
Treatment continues.
An hour later.
Sakura Take your hand back.
"That's it for today." She said, "Your Chakra volume has recovered a little."
"It's about 35% of what it was before."
"Only half a percent increase?" Naruto was disappointed, "This is too slow."
"It's already very fast." Sakura said, "Under normal circumstances, it would take a year for Jinchuriki to recover after losing Tailed Beast."
"You have recovered 35% in just one month."
"This is already a miracle."
Naruto thought for a while.
"That's right." He said, "Then how long do I have to hold on?"
"At least three months." Sakura said, "After three months, your Chakra volume should be restored to 50%."
"Fifty percent is enough."
"Fifty percent..." Naruto clenched his fists, "Okay, I will persist."
"Then you have a good rest." Sakura said, "Continue at the same time tomorrow."
"Got it."
Naruto sat up from the hospital bed.
My body is still a little sore, but it's much better than before.
He walked out Medical Department.
It's getting dark outside.
The streets were lit up.
The villagers were walking in twos and threes Earth Flow on the street, with smiles on their faces.
"It's so good." Naruto murmured to himself, "It feels like peace."
"It's really good." A voice suddenly said.
Naruto turns his head.
Kakashi is leaning against the wall, holding a book in his hand.
"Kakashi-sensei?" Naruto was surprised, "Why are you here?"
"Passing by." Kakashi said, "By the way, I took a look at your situation."
"I'm fine." Naruto said, "Although I'm a little tired, I can still hold on."
"That's good." Kakashi closed the book, "By the way, are you free tomorrow?"
"Tomorrow?" Naruto thought for a while, "I have to train with Sasuke in the morning, and Medical Department will come to me in the afternoon."
"You should be free tonight."
"Come to me that night." Kakashi said, "I have something to teach you."
"What?"
"You'll know then."
After saying that, Kakashi disappeared.
Naruto was stunned for a moment.
"It's mysterious." He muttered, "But what Kakashi-sensei is going to teach should be very powerful."
He continued walking home.
When passing by Ichiraku Ramen, he stopped.
"Would you like a bowl of ramen?" He thought for a moment, "Forget it, let's go home and make it ourselves."
"Save some money."
"When Hokage you also have to consider expenses."
He was about to leave when Uncle Teuchi's voice came from the store.
"Naruto!"
Naruto turns his head.
The hand-beating uncle stood at the door of the store, smiling brightly.
"Long time no see."
"Uncle Teuchi." Naruto walked over and asked, "How is business lately?"
"Very good." Teuchi said, "Since the village was rebuilt, there have been more and more guests."
"That's good."
"By the way." Teuchi said, "I heard that you became Hokage?"
"That's right." Naruto scratched his head, "Although I haven't officially taken office yet."
"But it is indeed Hokage."
"That's amazing." Teuchi said, "I still remember when you were a child, you came to the store to eat ramen every day."
"At that time, you were still a little kid who caused trouble everywhere."
"Now it's actually Hokage."
"Time flies so fast."
Naruto smiled.
"Yeah." He said, "Time flies so fast."
"Let's have a bowl of ramen." Teuchi said, "To celebrate your becoming Hokage."
"This is my treat."
"Really?" Naruto's eyes lit up, "Then I'm not welcome!"
"Have a bowl of extra large miso ramen!"
"No problem!"
Naruto is sitting at the bar.
A familiar scent wafted over.
He closed his eyes and took a deep breath.
"Sure enough, it still tastes the same."
"Of course." Teuchi said, "My ramen will always taste like this."
"It won't change."
A few minutes later, the hot ramen arrived.
Naruto Pick up the chopsticks.
"I'm starting!"
He ate ramen noodles.
The familiar taste spreads in the mouth.
"It's delicious!" He gave a thumbs up, "Uncle Teuchi's ramen is the best!"
"Of course." Teuchi smiled, "By the way, I heard about Nine-Tails."
Naruto's chopsticks paused for a moment.
"Yeah." He whispered, "Kurama is gone."
"It must be very unwilling." Teuchi said, "It has lived for so long, but in the end it has to sacrifice."
"No." Naruto shook his head, "Kurama said, it is very satisfied."
"Be able to do something meaningful at the end."
"Really..." Teuchi was silent for a few seconds, "That's good."
"Here, eat more."
"Hmm!"
Naruto continues to eat ramen.
Halfway through eating, he suddenly stopped.
"Uncle Teuchi."
"Huh?"
"You think, can I be a good Hokage?"
Teuchi was stunned for a moment.
"What are you worried about?"
"I don't know." Naruto said, "I just think..."
"Can I really protect the village?"
"Without Kurama, can I still be as powerful as before?"
Teuchi Put down the rag in your hand.
"Naruto." He said, "Do you know why I like making ramen?"
"Because it's delicious?"
"More than that." Teuchi said, "Because ramen can make people feel warm."
"No matter how tired you are, no matter how sad you are."
"Just eating a bowl of hot ramen will make you feel better."
"That's the power of ramen."
Naruto Listen.
"The same goes for Hokage." Teuchi said, "The power of Hokage is not just Chakra and ninjutsu."
"More importantly, it can make villagers feel at ease."
"As long as Hokage is here, the village will not fall."
"That's what Hokage is about."
