In the afternoon, by a river, Xiao Tian, Naruto, and Sasuke discussed how to spend their January holiday.
"Train! I must reach Chunin!" Naruto clenched his fists, his fighting spirit soaring.
Sasuke silently set himself a small goal: to reach the level of a Jonin before reporting for duty.
Looking at the two spirited and confident guys, Xiao Tian couldn't help but roll his eyes. Sasuke's level was barely at the Chunin level, and as for Naruto, if he didn't activate the Nine-Tailed Fox's cheat code, he would only be at the Genin level.
"We need to find a way to get this kid to train in Shadow Clone Jutsu. Without Shadow Clone Jutsu, is Naruto Uzumaki he once was?"
It doesn't taste the same anymore!
The eldest brother is like a father, Xiao Tian is currently having a real headache.
Suddenly, a chill ran down his spine, stemming from the system's heightened counter-surveillance senses; he knew someone was watching him.
He glanced around and saw a hunchbacked old man walking slowly in the distance.
Based on my keen intuition, this old man is no ordinary person!
"A voyeur?"
The hunchbacked old man slowly walked over, looked at Xiao Tian, Sasuke, and Naruto, and said kindly, "Children, are you fishing?"
"Yes, grandpa! Want to come along?" Naruto greeted him.
Sasuke coldly silent.
As for Xiao Tian, he looked the old man in front of him up and said, "Grandpa, where are you going? You're walking so slowly, do you need me to carry you?"
"What a good kid." Hiruzen chuckled inwardly, his fondness for Xiao Tian growing even stronger.
"Good children, no need for that. This old man will just stroll around at his own pace. But you should be at the Ninja Academy, right? Why are you playing here?"
"Grandpa, we've graduated!" Naruto flashed his Forehead Protector.
"I see. I'm getting old. My eyesight isn't what it used to be. I never imagined that the three of you would become ninjas at such a young age. This reminds me of my son who died on the battlefield." Hiruzen suddenly became sentimental.
Xiao Tian suddenly had a bad feeling.
"Children, keep striving! You are the hope of the village. You will surely make a name for yourselves in the ninja world in the future. Remember, Konoha is your root, your support. Konoha is proud of you..."
Xiao Tian was absolutely certain; it was the Spying Demon, Hiruzen Sarutobi!
After a long while, Naruto and Sasuke both breathed a sigh of relief after the old man left.
" Xiao Tian, this old man is quite enthusiastic, but he talks a lot, he's too much of a chatterbox."
Hiruzen Sarutobi amazing hearing, and his lips twitched slightly.
That night, Xiao Tian and his two companions still hadn't figured out how to make the most of their month-long holiday.
Of course, the main requirement is Xiao Tian. Sasuke and Naruto only have two requirements: they must be able to cultivate!
After finishing his dinner, Xiao Tian saw Mei Huizi's mother packing clothes and quickly asked, "Mom, are these to be delivered? Why don't I take them over for you?"
"Ten-chan, these are being sent to the Land of Fire. You're still young, so they need to be escorted by special ninjas and merchant caravans. Mom has already made the arrangements. You be a good boy and go train with Sasuke and Naruto."
" The Land of Fire!" Xiao Tian's eyes lit up.
"Mommy, how strong are the ninjas who are escorting us? They can take the three of us with them, right?"
"Since they were just some clothes, their value wasn't actually that high, and they were Chunin care of by two Chunin from Konoha."
It's not that big, yet it needs Chunin to take charge? Xiao Tian didn't believe it.
"Ten-chan, do you really want to Land of Fire?"
Xiao Tian nodded frantically. Even without Sasuke and Naruto, he wanted to go and explore. He wasn't afraid of death; with unlimited resurrection coins, what was there to be afraid of!
