Chapter 957 Return
"That's too difficult!" Naruto showed a horrified expression.
After all, he has always been a laggard and is not very good at studying and taking exams.
He wanted to be the king of the Ninja Kingdom, but he couldn't even pass the first level of the exam, right?
"How could that be? Just memorize them all." Hozuki smiled, "Just like memorizing your favorite ramen ingredients. And as long as you are the best, who can force you to take the exam?"
Naruto glanced at Sasuke, and it was obvious that there was someone here who might force him to take the exam.
Sasuke looked indifferent. He had already prepared for this: "The leader of the Ninja Country is elected, not tested."
Naruto smiled instantly, but when he realized what "election" was, he wilted again.
"Will anyone really choose me?" He looked at Gui Deng eagerly, "No one in the village likes me."
"You are just a little kid now. When you grow up and become a real member of the village and can influence the interests of the village, then we will see if they like you." Hozuki touched Naruto's head. "No one can be loved by everyone, but you have to remember that although ninjas are respected for their strength, this does not mean that you can be loved by everyone just because you are the strongest."
"Because ninjas are also human beings, and most of them are just ordinary people, or even very weak. Powerful ninjas are not only able to protect them, but also can persecute them, so they will be afraid and reject them."
"What you need to do is to become a strong person that they respect, rather than a strong person that they fear. Those who are feared are usually enemies. If you can make everyone no longer fear any strong person, including enemies, then you will be truly successful."
"Pay attention, it's 'respect', you have to be approachable, but it's not okay if people don't fear you at all, because you are the leader. If you don't have prestige, they will pretend to obey you but actually disobey you, not listen to you at all, and even do bad things behind your back."
Naruto's eyes were already spinning as he listened.
But he still kept Gui Deng's words firmly in his heart.
Sasuke didn't know what he was thinking. He looked at Naruto, then looked at himself.
Compared to himself, Naruto seemed more suitable... Anyway, he couldn't be approachable or get close to other people.
But Naruto is too soft-hearted...
This is really troublesome. Why don't they divide the work and work together?
One is responsible for being a beloved leader, and the other is responsible for getting rid of all those with bad intentions.
After lunch, Aiko Gojo was finally no longer sleepy. She jumped up and down in the torii and pulled weeds in the yard.
Naruto followed her, and soon the two of them disappeared.
"It's so boring, not many shops are open." Aiko Gojo had a rare moment of free time, but there was nothing to do.
"There's a street basketball court over there!" Naruto suggested playing basketball.
Aiko Gojo looked at herself with empty hands. Not to mention basketball, even the clothes they wore were not convenient for sports.
But there is no need to worry about this. If she can play tennis in a kimono, she can naturally play basketball in a kimono as well.
But what if there is no basketball?
Aiko Gojo sat down directly on the bench next to the court.
"I'm waiting for someone who loves basketball to come and give us a basketball." She pulled a lollipop from her pocket.
Naruto sat down beside him with a confused look on his face, and soon he saw Aomine Daiki running towards him stealthily with a basketball in his arms.
He was shocked when he entered the basketball court and saw Gojo Aiko and Naruto.
"Why are you here?"
Gojo Aiko looked at the basketball in his hand and said, "We are waiting for a kind person to give us a basketball."
Aomine Daiki: ???
He took a step back cautiously, then protected the basketball behind his back: "What do you want to do? I finally escaped..." "Ada——"
Taoi Satsuki's voice came from afar, and Aomine Daiki took a quick step and shrank into the corner of the basketball court fence.
Taoi Satsuki peeked in at the door and her eyes lit up when she saw Gojo Aiko.
"Xiao Ai~" She immediately forgot that she was here to find Qingfeng Daihui,
"Hehe, Happy New Year~" Momoi Satsuki talked to Gojo Aiko about their future trip.
"I just bought a nice cotton coat and a scarf! I'll wear it when I go skiing!"
Aiko Gojo, who hasn't bought clothes for a long time, said: "Can I ski in a kimono?"
Taoi Satsuki looked at the kimono that Gojo Aiko was wearing and seemed to be hesitant to speak.
Wouldn't that be more dangerous?
Instead of this, it is better to choose a nice yukata to wear after taking a hot spring bath.
Aomine Daiki was secretly moving towards the door like a crab, following the net basket step by step. However, Momoi Satsuki seemed to have eyes on her back and grabbed him when he moved behind her.
"I'll take Aomine-kun back first, see you next time~" Taoi Satsuki dragged Aomine Daiki out.
"Our basketball got lost again." Gojo Aiko looked regretful, "If I had known, I would have just grabbed it without any more nonsense."
Naruto decided to change his activities so that Aiko Gojo wouldn't keep pulling at the basketball.
"Let's go play with Mimiko and Nanako!" However, he regretted it as soon as he said it, because Mimiko and Nanako were in Kanagawa with the Geta couple.
In the end, the two men returned to the torii with nothing, and continued to jump up and down, while pestering Kidō to listen to his stories about hell.
"How about I tell you the story of the king and his grandson?" Before Hozuki could finish his words, Gojo Aiko had already run away, leaving Naruto, who had never heard the story, standing there stupidly.
King Yama dotes on his grandson and likes to tell others about his grandson. Once he starts talking, he will never stop, especially when he is drunk.
Just when Naruto was feeling dizzy, there was a sound of a door opening, and then a swarm of people rushed in.
"Wow - finally off work -"
"It's better to be at home!"
"Hmm! Mr. Kizuna is here too!"
"Aiko? Not here?"
"I'm going back to sleep!"
Naruto saw Uzumaki Kushina and Namikaze Minato and ran over happily.
"Dad! Mom!"
"Naruto~" Uzumaki Kushina hugged Naruto and recovered his health, "Did you eat well?"
"Yes! I also hunted a lot of delicious prey!" Naruto excitedly described his hunting process to them.
"Aiko~" Hagiwara Kenji looked around for Gojo Aiko, "I bought you orange yogurt and chocolate chips!"
Aiko Gojo was playing games with headphones on when she vaguely heard someone calling her.
She opened the door of the room and saw several people crowded outside.
