Naruto Returns Home

Tsunade looked at the burns on her hands. Tsunade had been prepared for the high temperature of the Uzumaki Hane, but she still got burned. "It seems your magma temperature has increased," Tsunade said.

Uzumaki Hane smiled slightly, then swung his right hand out, unleashing dozens of Lava Shuriken. Tsunade shouted, smashing a tree as thick as a man into the ground with her fist, then grabbed the tree and swept it Shuriken, deflecting the incoming Uzumaki Hane. Uzumaki Hane's left hand instantly turned into lava, pressing down on the tree trunk. Bang! Under Tsunade's Chakra Enhanced Strength, he was forced backward.

Uzumaki Hane braced his right foot against a large tree behind him to stop his retreat. Then, with a loud shout, he pushed the tree trunk aside and leaped into the air, throwing a punch at Tsunade. A Rock Fist slammed towards Tsunade.

Tsunade naturally wouldn't take the blow head-on. Instead, she gripped the tree trunk and swept it upwards, directly deflecting the Rock Fist. The tree trunk, still carrying momentum, continued to sweep towards Uzumaki Hane in mid-air. Uzumaki Hane, with nowhere to dodge in mid-air, let out a loud shout and slammed his right hand down towards the tree trunk.

With a bang, Uzumaki Hane was swept away and crashed heavily into several large trees before falling to the ground.

At the same time, the tree trunk in Tsunade's hand was also broken in half by Uzumaki Hane. Tsunade threw away the tree trunk and stomped directly on the ground with her right foot. Bang! A huge crack appeared in the ground and spread towards Uzumaki Hane.

Uzumaki Hane leaped up from the ground and unleashed a powerful attack, "Canine Red Lotus," at Tsunade. A lava hound Teuchi towards Tsunade.

Tsunade, sending a huge rock flying. Tsunade then punched the rock, which roared through the air and hurtled towards Uzumaki Hane. Bang! The Lava Hound shattered like tofu, and the rock continued its charge towards Uzumaki Hane.

Uzumaki Hane's right hand swelled to ten times its normal size and smashed directly at the rock. Bang! The rock shattered, and countless fragments flew everywhere. Suddenly, Uzumaki Hane's eyes narrowed. He didn't know Tsunade had appeared in front of him and struck out with her right hand.

Uzumaki Hane didn't intend to dodge, and slammed out with his right hand. Tsunade's hand collided with Uzumaki Hane's huge Magma Arm, and Uzumaki Hane's arm broke into pieces. Uzumaki Hane took one step back, but Tsunade also took three steps back.

Tsunade said, "Not bad, Yu, your progress during this time has exceeded my expectations."

At that moment, Shizune walked over quickly and said to Tsunade, "Lady Tsunade, there's a lot of work piled up today that we haven't finished yet."

Tsunade said, "Alright, alright, I'll go back and handle it now." With that, she left with Shizune.

Uzumaki Hane watched Tsunade's figure disappear from his sight before turning away and saying to Yamano Koromo beside him, "Ei, let's go wander around some more." With that, he left the training ground. Yamano Koromo smiled gently and quickly followed.

In the morning, Uzumaki Hane woke up early. It had been three days since Uzumaki Hane returned to the village. After Uzumaki Hane breakfast, she prepared to go on her training.

At that moment, an Anbu member appeared before Uzumaki Hane and said, "Uzumaki Hane, the Lord Hokage summons you." Then he left.

Naruto stood on a pillar, gazing at the entire Konoha. It had been almost three years since he left Konoha, and everything here filled him with nostalgia. Suddenly, Naruto spotted three familiar faces: Konohamaru and his two companions.

Naruto leaped down, landing in front of them. Konohamaru and the other two stared at Naruto in astonishment, but immediately recognized Naruto. Konohamaru exclaimed, "Boss Naruto! Long time no see! You're finally back!"

Just then, Sakura walked down the street, and Naruto immediately spotted her. He ran after her, calling out, "Sakura, Sakura..."

Sakura was out shopping for her parents when she heard a familiar voice. Turning around, she recognized Naruto immediately, even though Naruto had grown much taller. A look of joy spread across her face as Sakura exclaimed, "Naruto, it's been so long!" The group then began reminiscing about their recent experiences.

Jiraiya led Naruto and Sakura to the Hokage's office. Upon seeing Tsunade, Naruto shouted, "Granny Tsunade!" Tsunade veins bulged.

Tsunade said, "It's Naruto. It's been a long time. I wonder how your training has been?"

Naruto immediately replied, "Of course, no problem."

Tsunade said, "Then let me see the results of your training over this period of time."

Naruto asked, somewhat puzzled, "What do you mean?"

Tsunade said, "I've found you an opponent to test the results of your training."

Naruto said, "No problem, but who is it?"

"Of course it's me." A voice came from outside the door, Uzumaki Hane walked in, saying to Tsunade, "Teacher Tsunade, you asked me to come here because you want me to be Naruto's opponent, right?"

Tsunade smiled and said, "That's right. Originally, I wanted Kakashi to be Naruto and the others' opponent, but Uzumaki Hane you're back, I'll leave this to you."

Naruto nearby, looked at Uzumaki Hane with surprise and asked, "Yu, when did you get back?"

Uzumaki Hane was also very happy to see Naruto, saying, "I've been back for three days."

Naruto said, "Yu, ever since we fought last time, I've wanted to fight you again."

Uzumaki Hane said, "I also want to fight you and see how much you've improved lately."

Tsunade stood up and said, "Alright, everyone, follow me." Then she led the way, with the others following behind.

On the training field, Naruto and Uzumaki Hane stood facing each other, ten meters apart. Tsunade, Jiraiya, and Sakura watched with great interest.

Naruto said, "Yu, I'm not the same as before."

Uzumaki Hane smiled slightly and said, "Naruto, make your move. Let me see the results of your training over this period of time."

Tsunade said, "Wait a minute, Sakura, you should go on too."

Naruto immediately shouted, "Granny Tsunade, if you send Sakura down, how am I supposed to beat Yu and Sakura working together?"

Tsunade's forehead veins bulged as she said, "It was you and Sakura who teamed up."

Naruto and Sakura stood together, Uzumaki Hane smiled slightly, saying, "Alright, let's begin."

Naruto pulled out several Shuriken and shot them at Uzumaki Hane, while simultaneously rushing towards Naruto.

With an Uzumaki movement, Uzumaki easily dodged the attack. At that moment, Naruto rushed to Uzumaki Hane's body and Teuchi.

Uzumaki Hane reached out and grabbed Naruto's hand, then turned around and pinned Naruto down.

Uzumaki Hane said, "Naruto, you've really improved a lot." As he spoke, Uzumaki Hane turned around, and before he knew it, Uzumaki Hane had appeared behind Naruto.
