Shikamaru said with a smile, "Yeah. Ever since the Shinobi World War two years ago, this guy's been worshipped like a hero. He's completely become the village's hero."
As he spoke, the three of them strode away amid wave after wave of cheers from the girls.
Two years later? This was two years after Naruto defeated Moonlight Princess. With that, Li more or less understood the current situation. Two years... who knew how much this world had diverged from the Shinobi World he remembered? Still, now that he had mastered necromancy, if he wanted to learn more, all he had to do was forcibly take over someone's body.
But that would go against the natural order, so it was not a good idea.
Li sat atop the school building, watching Naruto teach the Ninja Academy students below. By the time Naruto finished for the day, it was already afternoon, and Li continued to follow him from the shadows.
Given Li's strength, it would be exceedingly difficult for Naruto to notice him. But since he was now in the world of the Hokage, the center of this world had to be its protagonist. In other words, no matter what major event happened in this world, Naruto would inevitably be at its center.
As long as he followed Naruto, he would not miss whatever happened next.
Yet after following him for nearly an entire afternoon, Li found that Naruto lived quite a leisurely life. He mostly bought a few miscellaneous items, then chatted with several old friends for a while. It seemed this world had become quite stable. Li had not expected Naruto's dream world to have truly come to pass like this.
Back then, how many people had doubted Naruto's vision of a peaceful world where everyone could understand one another?
