Half a year later.
In the streets of Wood Leaf Village.
Watergate and Shinna Kushina walked together as usual in the afternoon of every Shinobi School holiday.
In the first half of the year after he awakened his memory, and the half year after Shinna Kushina became a Jinchuriki, the two have already walked through the big and small streets of Wood Leaf Village.
Even so, the two of them still walked as usual, this has become a habit.
Shinna Kushina's curiosity didn't fade, and she looked around with curiosity.
Watergate, who was following behind her, had a slightly heavy expression.
Whoosh!
He glanced to the side and saw several shadows flitting across the roof and eaves of the house.
There was no doubt that they were Wood Leaf's ninjas.
They were heading in the direction of Naruto's building.
In the past month, such situations have become more and more frequent.
"It seems that the relationship between the Shinobi Nations is on the verge of collapse, is it finally going to be torn apart?"
Watergate thought. Although the last Shinobi World War ended, the five major Shinobi Nations have accumulated a lot of grievances with each other, including blood feuds and interests.
The second Naruto was also buried in that war, and the balance between the Shinobi Nations that has been maintained for nearly 20 years was finally going to collapse.
This disaster, called the Second Shinobi World War, lasted for more than ten years, although the real war didn't last more than three years, the friction between the major Shinobi Nations didn't stop.
Therefore, the disappearance of the third Kazekage once again became a fuse, and the Third Shinobi World War began.
He was active in that unprecedented war, and with the name of the Shinobi Nation, he finally led Wood Leaf to victory.
Under the peace, the accumulation of white bones.
But not to mention the current Watergate, even if he is now Naruto, he still can't stop the outbreak of war.
This was because the interests and wars between countries were never decided by one person.
The so-called essence of war is just the large-scale use of force to plunder more interests.
Whoosh!
While Watergate was thinking, several figures appeared in front of him and Shinna Kushina.
"Rope Tree senpai," Watergate greeted the newcomers. It was Rope Tree and his two teammates.
Rope Tree smiled and said, "You two are really close. You're inseparable."
Ever since Shinji first met Watergate at home, Shinna Kushina was always by his side.
Even if he was thick-skinned, he should be able to tell that the relationship between these two people was not ordinary.
"Long time no see. Junior Watergate is getting more and more handsome …"
Behind Rope Tree, Surou, who could be considered acquaintances of the two, laughed. More than a year had passed, and the immaturity on Minato's face began to fade, revealing a more masculine temperament.
Especially that pair of azure blue eyes, there were no impurities in them, giving people the feeling that they couldn't hate him at all.
Shinna Kushina looked at Su Rou with some hostility in her eyes. She directly held Watergate's arm.
Su Rou smiled faintly and said, "Shinna Kushina has also become more beautiful."
However, Shinna Kushina's expression didn't change much. She could only smile awkwardly.
"Haha, Watergate, do you remember the battle on the day you and I first met?" Rope Tree asked.
Watergate nodded and said, "Yes, I lost to Rope Tree senpai."
"That's not my win."
Rope Tree hurriedly waved his hand. At that time, Watergate's basic quality was not inferior to his. In the end, he lost because of his physical strength.
He could see that before the battle, this guy had already used up a lot of his physical strength.
"I really want to see how strong you are now after two years. Do you want to fight with me again? But it's not a friendly match, it's a real battle." Rope Tree's eyes flickered, full of fighting spirit.
Watergate looked at his somewhat eager eyes, and his fighting spirit rose in his heart.
"Okay." Immediately, he agreed, but he still looked at Shinna Kushina beside him and said, "But I still have to accompany Shinna Kushina …"
Before he finished speaking, Shinna Kushina said, "Don't worry about me, in fact, I also want to see your current strength. The ninja school hasn't had a practice class for a long time."
Watergate couldn't help but twitch the corner of his eyes.
"Shinna Kushina, thank you," Rope Tree winked at Shinna Kushina and said, "Let's go to the Seventh Training Ground."
Rope Tree knew that Watergate, as Jiraiya's disciple, has been training there for a long time.
The group bypassed the slightly bustling crowd on the street and headed to their destination.
...
Wood Leaf Ninja Village, Seventh Training Ground.
When everyone arrived here, the sky gradually became a little dim. At this time, the sun and the moon were alternating.
But this doesn't affect them as ninjas.
Shinna Kushina, Surou, and Rope Tree's other teammate all retreated to the side.
In the center of the training ground, Watergate and Rope Tree stood opposite each other.
"Watergate, although we are friends, in a battle, I won't be merciful." Rope Tree teased, but his expression gradually became fierce.
From his eyes, Watergate saw some fierceness, it seems that Rope Tree has also crossed the line of life and death.
That's the most important step from a student to a real ninja.
However, what made Watergate even happier is that looking at him, he has completely come out of his negative state.
Watergate has already guessed that Sarutobi's injury should be related to Rope Tree, which is why he and Surou often appeared beside Sarutobi at that time.
Rustle!
As soon as he finished speaking, not only did he not rush towards the Water Gate, but he also retreated rapidly.
He knows Watergate very well, and he knows that Watergate is best at speed. If he attacks directly, he will definitely be suppressed.
So he intends to open the distance between them first.
Whoosh!
Seeing this, Watergate naturally rushed directly towards him.
He saw through Rope Tree's intention, but he didn't use his full speed, he just wanted to shorten the distance between them as much as possible.
Because Watergate also wants to see what kind of level the grandson of the first Naruto has at this age.
And because of his rebirth, his strength has progressed extremely fast, and his mentality is not at the same level as Rope Tree at this time.
He doesn't want to expose all his strength yet.
In order to suppress Watergate's speed as much as possible, Rope Tree directly used the Body Flicker Technique, so when Watergate didn't use his full strength, the distance between them was still not small.
After a certain distance, Rope Tree quickly made several hand seals.
When he saw the hand seals, Watergate couldn't help but frown.
"Boom!"
The ground at the foot of Rope Tree trembled slightly, attracting everyone's attention.
The ground there directly protruded, and then in an instant, it turned into a dragon head.
The dragon head opened its mouth, and then several cannonball-like bullets were directly shot towards Watergate.
"Earth Release: Earth Dragon Bullet Technique!"
