Back Mountain, a mysterious place.
Countless miraculous ninjutsu had been invented on Back Mountain, and countless accidents had happened there.
On certain channels, Back Mountain was even a ridiculously overpowered buff.
As for Naruto, a little wilderness survival on Back Mountain was a piece of cake.
After all, Naruto had already been bringing Sasuke and Hinata to Back Mountain to play two or three years earlier.
Their activities included, but were not limited to, blasting fish, chasing bears, building secret bases, barbecuing, setting the forest on fire, and so on.
The Third expressed understanding toward Naruto's playtime, but they had set the mountain on fire when they were only four?!
That day, Naruto and Sasuke both received stern lectures from the Third, Itachi, and the others, along with a warning never to use Fire Release in the forest again.
Naruto: Sasuke, this was all your fault. Why did you have to show off with Fire Release?
Sasuke: You were the one who wanted roast wild boar! Besides, you were the one who accidentally spread the fire to the trees!
Meanwhile, Hinata, who had been sitting obediently nearby eating barbecue, was taken home by Hyuga Tōru after the fiasco ended.
Hyuga Tōru: One blond brat and one red-eyed brat caused trouble. What did that have to do with our sweet young lady?
Hinata lowered her head shyly.
Was it possible that Naruto and Sasuke had mainly started a fire to roast wild boar because they wanted to treat Hinata?

Later, Hinata also explained to the elders that it had actually happened because she had such a large appetite.
But as the main fire starters, Naruto and Sasuke could not escape their scolding.
Anyway, the location of today's wilderness survival exercise was an unexpected reunion.
Especially for Sasuke. Seeing
