Spring breeze.
The wind in Konoha at the end of January and the beginning of February could be considered a spring breeze.
Before the snow had cleared, all kinds of plants would emerge in the wind.
In Sand Hidden Village, they had to wait until March or April.
The so-called spring breeze was just a change from the north wind to the south wind, but the south wind was soft.
There was less sand and dust. Animals of all sizes would take the opportunity to gather by the pond protected by the Sea Buckthorn Aloe Cactus and do their best to attract the opposite sex.
It would be an interesting scene.
Naruto really liked new and interesting things that he had never seen before.
He cherished every time he left Konoha on a field mission. He felt that it was cool to be able to travel the world like Jiraiya. But now,
He was not happy.
He was not happy. "Shikamaru,
Keep my dad's birthday gifts well. Don't lose any of them. "
Shikamaru nodded helplessly.
He asked Thor's team to pack up all the things that Naruto had bought. He yearned for a life where he could see the end of it at a glance. Stability meant less trouble. But Konoha was always so special. In other words, work, work, and work.
His smiling boss had never let him have a moment of rest.
"Naruto, I'm just asking you to stay for a few more days. Don't look like you're going to die, okay? If you insist on going back, we can change you at any time."
"Forget it, since you want me to stay.
The higher-ups must have their reasons. "After all, it was a war. Naruto had fantasized many times when he was young.
If one day Konoha went to war with people,
He wanted to be like his father and lead everyone from one victory to another. But when it came to it, he felt his heart beat faster when he read the word "war." He did not understand. Just twenty days ago, the whole world was still celebrating the New Year. How could it be like this just twenty days later. "Damn it. They didn't say how long I have to stay in Sand Hidden Village."
"It shouldn't take long." Shikamaru believed in his own judgment. The General Staff Headquarters he was in was only in charge of Konoha's general affairs. The General Staff Headquarters was more like the Chief Butler than Deputy Naruto. However, the flow of resources, the payment of salaries, the planning of the war, and the calculation of income and expenditure were all part of the war. Konoha was a military fortress, while Konoha was an armed force. Konoha was always prepared for war. "Isn't that right, Kazekage -sama …"
"Ah, I'm Eero. Hurry up, let me see your gift. Why did you bring a paper bag?"
"There's no suitable box." In any case, they would have to be unwrapped by Konoha's Black Ops anyway. After checking inside and out, they would have to stick a circle of Scotch tape that was difficult to remove. Eero ignored Naruto's head and handed the bag to Shikamaru. "Be careful with fragile items."
Shikamaru tacitly took out the item in the bag and examined it. Then, the corner of his mouth twitched. "Kazekage -sama, forgive me for being blunt, but don't you think that your gift is a little …"
"Birthday — Longevity Peach; New Home — Flower Vase — Ping Ping An An." It wasn't something that could be put into one's mouth. My Eero felt that he had been very considerate.
"Yes, I did say that my dad wants to decorate the new house with a lot of fresh flowers. Ping Ping An An also has a good meaning. Although the longevity peach is a little exaggerated, oh no." Naruto looked at the glassy bottom vase in Shikamaru's hand. It was the size of a human head, and its color gradually changed from pink to human flesh. On the back of the vase, I Eero had personally written the word "longevity" in gold. He didn't know how to explain it. It had to do with aesthetics.
Shikamaru glanced at Eero's red hair, which was split in a three-seventy split …
Eero nodded silently. "If you don't use more hair gel, your hair will be messed up by the wind soon."
"That's … right." Shikamaru silently turned his head. Carrying the "national gift" that was hidden in the Sand Hidden, he walked into the circle formed by Thor's team and placed himself and his luggage together. "Well then, we'll take our leave."
Eero and Naruto waved their hands in unison. Just as they were about to say something, they suddenly heard a loud roar from behind them.
"Wait! Didn't you forget something? What about me? What about me? What about my arrangements?! "Sasuke, who had been standing silently in the shadows with his arms crossed, finally couldn't take it anymore.
"…"
"…"
"…"
Thor's team leader shook a small piece of paper and replied to Konoha's name. Uchiha Sasuke was not on the list.
Eero took out his notebook. Uchiha Sasuke was not on the list of people who were stationed in the Sand Hidden as well.
"It seems like we forgot about you?" Naruto tapped his right fist on his left palm.
"No, we didn't." Shikamaru, who was in charge of the team, placed the scroll in front of Sasuke so that he could see the words "Naruto Uzumaki and his subordinates are temporarily stationed here."
Sasuke suddenly understood.
Naruto turned his head and pretended that he didn't see Sasuke's neck suddenly flushed red. He had improved a lot in the past two years. He had learned Shadow Clone Jutsu, Rasengan, and Thor. His mother had also taught him how to command Kurama. Right now, he was truly a pentagonal elite Jonin. He had high Agility, high Attack, high Defense, a lot of Mana, and a lot of HP. In a few years, he would mature and gain a lot of experience. As for Sasuke … being a Genin was indeed a bit unfair, but being a Jonin was still a few years away from Sasuke.
Shikamaru, who didn't want to be hated by anyone, also obediently gave the order to run away. It was easy to go from frugality to extravagance, but difficult to go from extravagance to frugality. It really took a long time to go from being the number one in the grade to admitting that he was just an ordinary person. The more superior a person was, the longer it would take. Moreover, he knew a bit more than Naruto. For example, the Sharingan of the Phoenix Immortal Fire Technique of the Country of Hot Water gave Uchiha an innate sense of superiority. Uchiha was a surname that was never willing to be ordinary.
I Eero didn't care. He glanced at Sasuke, opened a bag of chips, and crunched them into Naruto's hand.
Naruto ignored the deja vu of Choji's transformation and hurriedly changed the topic, "I hope my dad doesn't miss me too much."
"Without the approval of the Four Generations, you can't stay here." I Eero glanced at Sasuke, whose face was also red. He remembered that when he went to Konoha for the first time, the opponent he paid attention to first wasn't Naruto.
Sasuke took a deep breath under my Eero's gaze. In fact, he really didn't care if his script was the most favored one or the strongest abandoned one. He also knew that as long as he wasn't compared to a cheat, he was still the strongest person in his grade. He was just a bit unlucky, just a bit!
"Oh." Naruto stared at the chips and picked the big ones to eat. He already hated growing up. "I forgot to remind Shikamaru about the medical students."
"Jounin Nara doesn't need to be reminded." Compared to Sasuke, I Eero disliked Shikamaru even more. However, Temari's letters to him always mentioned, "Uchiha Genin, are you going to eat or not?"
Sasuke looked at the bag of chips that Naruto handed to him and then grabbed it, crushed it, and poured it into his mouth, "Don't worry. With an IQ of 200, I won't ignore Sand Hidden's goodwill."
"Goodwill?" Naruto finally had the courage to look Sasuke in the eye.
"Before the incident in the Country of Hot Water, Sand Hidden sent people to Konoha to study because Sand Hidden needed Konoha's help." Yes, that's it. Sasuke encouraged himself. It was just his friends running, so what was the big deal? "But now that Konoha and the Country of Earth are enemies, Sand Hidden sending people to study is to show their attitude and take the first side."
"Oh." Naruto thought about the logic behind it, "Well, Ichiraku Ramen's business is booming, and the boss would never let his customers eat for free. However, Ichiraku Ramen's shop is offering a discount, and the regular customers don't even waver in the face of the discount. Wow, I might not have to pay today."
"…" Sasuke silently swallowed. My father once told me that the so-called allies were enemies with common interests. He then threw the bag of chips into the trash.
"…" Eero looked at the bag of chips that was thrown into the trash and wanted to release Shukaku. Unfortunately, weak countries don't have diplomacy. If Kazekage and Konoha Genin fought over some chips, Sand Hidden would have to write a collection of cold jokes. "I have some ramen-flavored chips here. Naruto, do you want some?"
"He doesn't want them." Sasuke seemed to have found his place.
"He wants them." Eero handed over the chips.
"No, Captain Naruto, you don't want to eat them. You are now representing Konoha. It's not dignified to have greasy fingers and a mouth full of chips. "Sasuke said as he took out a bottle of mint candy and poured it into Naruto's mouth. Yes, that's it. As a subordinate, it was his duty to correct his superior's bad habits. As for the Kazekage? So what if they were Kazekage? Anyway, Shikamaru wasn't here, and Naruto wouldn't tell on him. Even if Shikamaru was here, Shikamaru wouldn't be able to beat him. "Captain Naruto, before you worry about Sand Hidden, you should be more vigilant. Konoha is unstoppable now, but what about the future? Even if the Land of the Wind is weak now, it doesn't mean that it won't be able to make a comeback in the future. They have a Kazekage who is very good at learning. Sand Hidden Village won't stop. "
"Konoha won't stop either." I Eero narrowed his eyes. He didn't care about the dignity of being a Kazekage. Anyway, Maki-sensei wasn't here. But the mint candy — no matter what candy it was, he had to give it to him one by one. "But it's true. The Fifth Naruto is obviously much weaker than the Fourth Generation. The Sixth Kazekage might even be weaker than the Fifth Generation … but the Fifth Kazekage is smarter than the Fourth Generation Kazekage. If the Sixth Generation Kazekage is properly trained, he won't be inferior to the Fifth Generation. One day, the hourglass will be turned over. Our Sand Hidden Village, to put it bluntly, is ambitious, unlike some Uchiha. "
"No matter how strong Uchiha is, he's still a part of Konoha. No matter how useless Naruto is, he can still understand this.
。 But is it really okay for the Kazekage to say such things in front of the Konoha Ninjas? "
"It's fine. Before I was a Kazekage, Naruto -sama, the leader of the Fourth Generation, taught me this. Although there's a lot of deception between people, and so-called allies are only temporary enemies with common interests. But in reality, no amount of scheming or scheming would work between countries. If you make a move, I'll counterattack. If I make a move, he'll counterattack. All the competition between countries is exposed to the sun. There's no hiding, hiding, or hiding. "
"Hmph, only our Fourth Generation Sama has great foresight …"
"Hmph, childish. The meaning of the Fourth Generation Sama is that he's invincible, and his country is doomed."
"Here, it should be said that he lives in sorrow and dies in peace."
"The words of the Fourth Generation Sama don't mean that he can't take care of his family."
"But it definitely means that he knows etiquette."
"Hmph, genin."
"…" Sasuke glared.
"…" Eero glared back.
"…" Sasuke glared.
"…" Eero glared back.
"Ugh, ugh, ugh." Caught in the middle, Naruto slowly squatted down with his mouth full of peppermint candy. He looked up and saw the two getting closer and closer to each other. He felt a chill from his throat to his small intestine. "Wuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwu
Eero and Sasuke both lowered their heads.
"Bah, bah, bah! Although I don't understand what you're saying, the Sixth Generation Naruto is definitely stronger than the Fifth Generation. " Naruto, who had finally chewed his mint candy, suddenly felt weak as the two of them stared at him in tacit understanding. "I think that my chances of becoming the Sixth Generation Konoha are quite high, right?"
Eero and Sasuke both looked up at the sky at the same time.
Naruto formed a seal, and a bunch of Shadow Doppelgangers formed another seal. "Seduction Art!"
"Ahhhh ~ ~ ~ Oh ~"
The two howls were mixed with a rumbling sound.
Kazekage Tower Kazekage Office
Kazekage's special assistant, Maki, left the French window. He didn't like the big French windows that Eero insisted on imitating. Whether you were resting in your office or studying the war seriously, you could hear and see a little noise, especially the noise of teenagers who thought they had grown up.
He hated hanging portraits of the Kazekage in the Kazekage office like Konoha did. She always felt uncomfortable picking her nose secretly.
But the Kazekage office only had seats for the Kazekage. What a great idea. Although he was the main victim who could only stand all day long.
Konoha created a brand new world for himself based on his own appearance. Konoha set new rules for the new world.
Yes, new rules for Kage. Maki knew how to train ninjas. Whether it was the Force Of Human Column or the Kazekage, as long as they were strong and had some control over their power. But how to train a country's ruler?
Maki placed the books she stole from Lord Fatty on Eero's bookshelf. Legend has it that the Golden Flash who loved to read used his position to steal books from important people before he became Naruto.
"Heh, Bo Fung Watergate the Thief."
Konoha Office, Rain Village
"And Bo Fung Watergate the Liberator and Bo Fung Watergate the Protector." Orochimaru browsed the newspapers from all over the world while eating breakfast outside the laboratory. "Yamato Senju, help me send a message to Konoha. Land of the Wind also send some medical ninja trainees here."
"Yes, Orochimaru -sama," Yamato watched Orochimaru return to his laboratory after eating and organize the newspapers. He followed him to the Rain Village and carefully monitored him for more than 20 days. He found that Orochimaru was essentially the same as Konoha's guys who were responsible for developing ninjutsu weapons. But he still didn't dare to relax.
"Okay, Yamato, you don't have to write down how many newspapers this guy reads." Jiraiya gnawed on a pig's foot and took a sip of wine. "Although Orochimaru is slippery and his loyalty to Konoha is questionable, he won't make any moves now."
"But Yudaime-sama reminded me last night that the war …"
"And Orochimaru will be honest for a long time." Jiraiya gnawed on the pig's foot and drank the wine. "The war made him lose a lot of things. Studying medical ninjutsu can't stop the lives he cares about from dying one by one. That's why he's so obsessed with immortality. To put it bluntly, this guy is actually a coward who's afraid of death. And how can a coward survive in the war? He just needs to stand on the side of the winner at the right time. "
"Konoha will of course win." Yamato pointed to the north with a smile.
"Yeah," Jiraiya only saw the light rain and gloomy clouds reflected in Yamato's eyes.
Dark clouds in the blue sky.
National capital of the Land of Earth, Great Palace
"Bastard, who the hell is provoking Konoha in the Land of Hot Water!"
"Maybe it's Konoha's own performance." Onoki was holding a teacup while listening to his king's roar.
"I already said that this is a critical moment, don't provoke Golden Flash, don't provoke Golden Flash. Since that guy is terminally ill, let's just wait for him to die!"
"Success doesn't depend on me, but I won't leave the trouble to the younger generation before I die." Onoki was afraid that the king, who was the same age as him, would spit out his false teeth. "Bo Fung Watergate probably thinks the same."
"Have you tried to contact Sarutobi again?"
Onoki chewed on the stem of his tea. "I can't contact him, Konoha stopped raising pigeons a long time ago."
"Damn it, when Bo Fung Watergate caused the River country tragedy, Sarutobi promised Konoha that when the new king of the Land of Fire grows up, everything will be the same as before."
"I also reminded you at that time that the enemy's promise is not reliable."
"But at that time, you also said that joining forces with other countries to fight against Konoha will only force the already fragmented factions of the Land of Fire to unite against the outside world, so it's better to let them continue to fight among themselves."
"Yes, we should seize the opportunity to rest."
"Now, tell me, why is it that those who rest are getting weaker and weaker, and those who don't stop fighting among themselves want to dominate the world?"
"…" Onoki put down his teacup and sighed. "Bo Fung Watergate, Sarutobi, Danzō, and Uchiha, who would have thought that a silly boy who was used as a gun all day long would be the final winner."
"What?"
"Probably, blindly fighting among themselves is not in the interest of the Land of Fire and Konoha."
"Speak louder, I'm hard of hearing."
"Old men are troublesome." Onoki gathered his qi in his Dantian. "I say, My Lord, please calm down, we may not lose."
