"The old windmill needs a new fan. The dead Third Hokage is the best fuel for Konoha to turn."
After a while, Naruto, who was drowsy from the scorching sun, took a break and leaned on Sasuke's shoulder in front of him and closed his eyes to take a nap.
Sasuke took a look and said nothing.
Iruka, who was not far away, saw this scene and walked over slowly, patted Naruto on the shoulder and comforted him: "Don't be too sad, Naruto. When a person dies, it's like a light goes out. Please accept my condolences."
Naruto shook himself and looked at Iruka, "I'm fine Iruka-sensei, I'm just a little tired."
"I know you."
Iruka sighed: "Although the Third-generation master has passed away in reality, he will always live in our hearts. Think positively."
Oh my god, that's so scary.
If it was you, Iruka-sensei, who died, I might still be sad for a while, but let’s just forget about it, Third Generation.
"Well, don't be too sad, Iruka-sensei."
Meeting Iruka's concerned look, Naruto felt that the more he talked, the more confused he would be, so he simply stopped explaining and nodded to admit that he was sad.
The funeral lasted about three hours. As the sun moved westward, the crowd dispersed.
Jiraiya beckoned Iruka over to ask, "What did you talk about with Naruto just now?"
Hearing this question, Sarutobi Hazuki, who was about to leave, stopped and listened quietly.
"Naruto was very sad about the death of the Third Hokage, and I just comforted him with a few words." Iruka said.
"Naruto is sad?"
"Yeah, he cried on Sasuke's shoulder."
"Oh!" Jiraiya let out a long sigh. During this time in Konoha, he probably already understood what the Third Generation had done, including the plan for dealing with Naruto.
I can only say that the third generation is really unkind.
Now Naruto was mourning for him.
"Old Sarutobi, if you wake up again, I really want to punch you."
Jiraiya said something silently, but no one knew who he was talking to.
Sarutobi Hazuki lowered her head and pursed her lips as she left. She naturally knew about the plan that the Third Hokage had implemented against the Jinchuriki.
"Master Jiraiya, you don't need me to tell you that I know what our family owes Naruto. I will make it up to him."
Ye Yue will probably never forget the silhouette of the little boy standing in front of her.
At the same time, all four members of Team 7 arrived except Kakashi who was still recuperating in the hospital.
The first reunion after the Chunin Exam took place at Ichiraku Ramen.
This is Naruto's second time to eat Ichiraku Ramen after he pissed off both Ino and Hinata last time.
"Uncle, three servings of pork bone chashu ramen, one with spicy sauce, and two with clear soup."
"okay!"
The three of them sat at a small table at the door of the store, and it felt more comfortable to eat while enjoying the breeze.
"Naruto, I've been in the hospital for so many days and you didn't even come to see me."
Sakura gritted her teeth and poked her chopsticks into the bowl, as if she was poking Naruto.
"I'm very busy, Sakura."
"What are you busy with?"
"He is busy asking his elder sister to help him wash himself every day."
"???" Sakura looked up at Sasuke who was speaking and raised her eyebrows: "What's going on?"
"Sasuke, please speak properly and don't slander others out of thin air." Naruto said angrily.
Sasuke rolled his eyes: "You are so forgetful, don't you know what I heard the last time I came to you?"
When he thinks of that gentle voice, the innocent Erzhuzi still feels a little embarrassed.
I didn't expect that Naruto would start asking his elder sister for help at such a young age.
"Hurry up and tell me, what did you hear?" Sakura was particularly concerned about this question.
But neither Naruto nor Sasuke answered her question.
Naruto was too lazy to say it, and Sasuke didn't know how to describe it.
"You two, talk now."
Until they finished eating ramen, Naruto and Sasuke did not give Sakura an answer. Finally, she broke down and angrily cursed them both before turning and leaving.
Because there are too many ninjas doing high-intensity missions recently and many people are injured, the continuity has led to a large number of patients who need treatment.
So Sakura is still very busy at work, and she is almost living in the hospital every day.
It would probably take another three to five days, until all the work in Konoha was almost done, before she would have time to rest.
Sasuke is also very busy. Every day he not only has to complete his own tasks, but also has to help Naruto.
Apart from tasks and exercises, there is only time left for eating, drinking, defecating, urinating and sleeping.
"Naruto, let's fight again today."
"Okay, if I win, the mission tomorrow will still be yours."
"can!"
"."
After beating Sasuke up, Naruto returned to the small apartment. The moment he opened the bedroom door, he saw an old man sitting on his big bed and flipping through the few photos of him.
"Hey, Naruto, why did you just come back?"
Jiraiya, who was very good at making friends, kept Naruto silent for a long time.
"Lord Jiraiya, what can I do for you?" Although Naruto knew what was going on, he still asked.
Jiraiya smiled faintly and said, "I heard from Iruka that you were very sad, so I plan to take you out to relax. You should pack your luggage and get ready to follow me."
"Okay!" Naruto agreed decisively.
Even if Jiraiya didn't come to find him, he would find a chance to leave Konoha and reunite with Bai after a while, so as to finish the unfinished business as soon as possible.
"You agreed so readily, aren't you afraid that I'm a bad person?" Jiraiya asked.
"Not afraid."
"why?"
Jiraiya had a faint smile on his face, he was thinking, could it be that Naruto was just like what was said in the book, that meeting him was like meeting a kind elder.
I couldn't help but feel familiar.
However, Naruto's answer was: "Because you look rather wretched, wretched people in this world are usually not that bad."
Jiraiya was furious: "Pervert, who is the one who is being obscene?"
While the two were talking, Naruto had already packed his change of clothes into his backpack, walked to the window and looked up at the sky.
White clouds were reflected in the azure eyes.
A breeze blew by, and Naruto put his hair behind his ears with a melancholy look on his face. He said to Jiraiya: "Handsome guys are all humorous and funny. Only ugly guys like you can be called vulgar."
Depend on!
How could Minato and Kushina's son deserve a beating so badly?
For the first time in his life, Jiraiya wanted to teach a child a lesson so much.
"."
On the other side, four people wearing red auspicious cloud costumes entered the border of the Fire Country.
Kakuzu walked in front, counting the deposit he had just received over and over again. After confirming that it was correct, he put the money into the space scroll and carefully put it into his sleeve.
"Five million ryo is the deposit, and you will need to pay another 45 million ryo after you capture Orochimaru."
"Don't worry about the money. We won't default on your debt."
A clear female voice sounded from under the mask, Bai said: "But the prerequisite is that you must ensure that Orochimaru cannot escape."
Hearing this, Feidan said disdainfully: "As long as the information you provide is correct, I guarantee that Orochimaru will die a hundred times."
Zabuza said, "Don't be too arrogant. Orochimaru is one of the three ninjas of Konoha, known for his cunning and treacherous nature. Are you sure you have the strength to kill him?"
"Humph!" Kakuzu snorted coldly: "As long as you pay the money, even if Orochimaru runs to the sky or burrows into the ground, I will pull him out."
"I hope you're not bragging." Bai responded coldly.
After exchanging a few words, the four of them stopped talking and walked forward quietly.
Entering the forest of the Land of Fire, the sunlight shone through the leaves and branches, and the light spots shone on Bai's mask.
Zabuza looked at Bai and found that he was increasingly unable to understand Bai.
No longer listens to him and often acts on his own.
Last month, he had a fight with him over whether to control the Land of Waves.
In the end, he gave in and cooperated with Bai to seize power over the Land of Waves.
Just when he thought Bai was going to learn from Cardo and become the local emperor of the Wave Kingdom, Bai suddenly had another idea.
For no apparent reason, he brought him to join this organization called "Akatsuki", and also spent a large sum of money to invite two annoying guys to come from afar to cause trouble for Orochimaru.
Zabuza knew very well that they had never had any grudges with Orochimaru.
Bai, it really seemed like he had suddenly become a different person.
What happened to her that caused her to change without her knowing?
Zabuza stared at Bai from the corner of his eyes, trying to figure out what Bai was thinking, but in the end he could only sigh.
What he didn't know was that while he was looking at Bai, Bai was thinking about someone else.
"Naruto-sama, we are finally about to meet."
The excitement of being stepped on by feet is so thrilling just thinking about it, it would be so great if I could be humiliated again.
