Konoha Street.
Naruto and the others were chasing Little Tiger.
"Over here... over here... damn it, it got away again."
Unfortunately, Little Tiger was experienced and escaped again.
It took them more than ten minutes to finally catch the cat.
Naruto carried Little Tiger as he followed behind Kakashi, grumbling, "Kakashi-sensei, why do we have to do such low-level missions?
"We're obviously already so strong."
"Don't aim too high. Even though you went through Tobitake Tonbo's combat training,
"a ninja's missions aren't limited to fighting.

If he had received this kind of training back then, Obito might not have died.
Naruto muttered, "What's the point? These small missions can't show off my strength at all."
Sasuke and Sakura felt the same way.

"...What does you defeating your archenemy have to do with me?" Naruto glanced at Sasuke before speaking to Konohamaru again.
"Ninjutsu?" Sasuke, Sakura, and Kakashi's thoughts
