If Naruto felt something, he turned around and saw Karin and Hinata, whom he had not seen for three months, standing at the entrance of the courtyard.
Karin's Medical Ninjutsu has obviously improved a lot in his practice, and his overall temperament is calmer than three months ago.
Hinata is still as gentle as ever, and his eyes are a little more determined.
"You are here."
Naruto put down the shovel in his hand and smiled at the two of them.
Karin and Hinata quickly stepped forward at the same time and threw themselves into Naruto's arms.
Naruto was stunned for a moment, smiled softly, then slowly raised his hands and patted the two people's backs gently.
"Sorry, I was in such a hurry when I left, I only had time to tell Karin."
"I'll definitely tell you both in advance next time I go on a long trip."
Hinata shook his head gently in Naruto's arms. "It's good that Naruto-kun comes back safely."
Naruto took the two of them to the kitchen. Karin rolled up his sleeves and volunteered to help cut vegetables. His knife skills were even sharper than three months ago. Apparently he had practiced a lot during this period.
Hinata secretly took a look at Naruto who was skillfully cooking. Naruto-kun had changed. He had grown taller, his shoulders had become wider, and the edges and corners on his face had become clearer.
But his expression while cooking was the same as before, focused and calm.
As soon as the food was served, the courtyard door was pushed open again.
"Wow, it smells so good!"
"I have eaten bugs for three months and now I feel like crying when I smell the smell of normal food!"
Tsunade strode in, still wearing Hokage Cloak, obviously coming directly from Hokage Building.
Jiraiya followed her and started to sigh as soon as she entered the door.
Naruto didn't say much, just added two pairs of bowls and chopsticks.
"Naruto This kid is more powerful than his father."
At the dinner table, Jiraiya looked at Hinata and Karin, who were serving Naruto with vegetables and rice, and sighed in his heart.
Halfway through the meal, there was a knock on the courtyard door again.
Naruto stood up and opened the door, and saw Ino standing at the door holding a bouquet of freshly wrapped flowers, with her golden ponytail swinging back and forth in the sunset.
"Naruto?"
Seeing Naruto, Ino was stunned, and then looked up and down.
My black hair is a little longer than three months ago, my whole body is taller and straighter, and my temperament has become more calm and handsome.
"Come in quickly!"
Naruto brought Ino into the door, and then Ino saw Tsunade and Jiraiya sitting at the dinner table, and took half a step back.
Tsunade nodded towards Ino, and Jiraiya sighed with a gloating tone, "Here comes another one!"
Naruto added a chair to Ino, and Ino sat down gingerly.
But soon she relaxed, and together with Karin Hinata, you and I asked each other about Naruto's cultivation situation in the past three months.
Naruto did not go into details, but just said that he has gained a lot in the past few months and his strength has improved a lot.
After the meal, the women got up first to say goodbye.
Before Hinata left, he walked up to Naruto and raised his head to look into his dark brown eyes.
His face turned slightly red and he said softly, "Naruto-kun, goodbye!"
After saying that, he was pulled out of the door by Karin.
Ino followed the two of them and looked back at Naruto when they reached the entrance of the courtyard.
Soon only Tsunade and Jiraiya were left in the yard.
The atmosphere gradually turned from lively to quiet. Tsunade leaned on the back of the chair, holding a teacup, and his eyes fell on Naruto.
"You made such a big noise in Mount Myoboku, sucked up all the Natural Energy in Holy Land, and also created a shock wave that leveled ten kilometers of mountain forest to the ground."
"When Jiraiya reported to me, I thought he was bragging."
Naruto sat down, picked up his cup of tea, and said with a hint of helplessness:
"I don't want to make such a big fuss, it happened suddenly."
Tsunade nodded and did not continue to ask for details.
Everyone has their own secrets of practice, and she also has trump cards that she doesn't want to explain to others.
"How are you doing with the Medical Ninjutsu I gave you?"
"Is three months enough for you to get started?"
"I've almost learned it."
"Monster Strength can already punch and explode. Yin Seal has also opened up a good space and started to store Chakra on a daily basis."
Naruto has a calm face.
Tsunade's hand holding the tea cup paused slightly.
Although I knew that Naruto was very talented, I was still shocked to hear that Naruto had mastered it so quickly.
Her Medical Ninjutsu system took her half a lifetime to perfect, and she has broken countless training ground stakes just by practicing Monster Strength alone.
Shizune has followed her for so many years and has only mastered 70 to 80% of the core parts.
In the past three months, Naruto, while learning Sage Mode, also completed her Medical Ninjutsu.
Jiraiya, who was sitting next to him, put the tea cup back on the table.
"Naruto, now Sage Mode is also in control, what are your plans next?"
"Should you continue practicing? Or start doing something else?"
Naruto pondered for a moment
At this stage, his strength has reached a bottleneck period.
Mangekyō Sharingan is evolving to Rinnegan, Power of Yin and Power of Yang are also growing steadily, and both need time to continue to warm up.
After the evolution of Rinnegan is completed, you can start to analyze the wedge of Urashiki in the body and use all the power of Ōtsutsuki for your own use.
Now that the improvement of strength has entered a steady stage that takes time, it is time to start planning another line.
Take over Konoha.
It's time to give this Shinobi World a real shock.
"I still focus on cultivation, but I can start to have proper contact with Hokage's affairs."
Tsunade was stunned.
She originally thought that Naruto would continue to focus all his energy on cultivation. After all, based on her understanding of Naruto, Naruto's pursuit of strength growth was almost endless.
"You kid, are you finally willing to put your mind on Hokage?"
Naruto smiled and did not deny it.
He does have the confidence now.
When Rinnegan evolves, Power of Yin and Power of Yang are mature, and then receives the Ōtsutsuki data in the Urashiki wedge, he will be able to firmly stand on the level of Six Paths Level.
Tsunade put down the tea cup and stood up.
"Okay, since your kid has this plan, let's get in touch with the core of power starting tomorrow."
"First get familiar with the operation of each department, understand the document process, and get to know the representatives of the major families."
"When you are more or less accustomed to it, I will officially hand over Hokage Position to you."
Naruto did not refuse.
He thought of something and looked at Tsunade: "By the way, mother-in-law Tsunade, I want to ask you for some Ninjutsu."
Tsunade was slightly startled.
Her Medical Ninjutsu has been completely entrusted to Naruto, and now Naruto mentions Ninjutsu. Her first reaction is that Naruto wants the forbidden technique on Scroll of Seals.
Scroll of Seals is the top secret scroll that only Hokage has the right to consult in the past. It records the forbidden techniques developed by each shadow.
Tsunade has no problem with Naruto wanting Scroll of Seals. After all, Naruto will be Hokage sooner or later.
But now I give the forbidden technique to Naruto, in case someone uses it to make a fuss and delays Naruto's Hokage Position, which will be somewhat troublesome.
Tsunade frowned slightly and considered his words.
"The forbidden techniques on Naruto, Scroll of Seals need to make a huge contribution to the village before they can be allowed to read. This is the rule."
