Asuna, a fifteen-year-old girl who was originally in the city, borrowed her brother's NERvGear to play SAO out of curiosity, but when she put on her helmet and entered the game, she suddenly found that she had become a newborn baby. The only one who followed her to this world was only one system.

Unknowingly, I have been in this strange world for twelve years. From the initial fear to the person who has become accustomed to everything in this world, from a person who was lonely and helpless at the beginning, to having his own friends and teachers. Asuna thought with a sigh as she looked at the scenery of the Iron Country.

"Asuna-sama, Mifune-sama has called you over. A samurai said respectfully to Asuna.

"I see. I'll be there right away. When Asuna heard the samurai's words, she immediately went to Mifune's mansion.

"Asuna, good morning. "Well, good morning. Aunt. When Asuna moved to Mifune's mansion again, she greeted the people of Iron Country along the way.

When they arrived at Mifune's mansion, Asuna saw his senior brother Yoshihiro Umiizumi in front of the door, "Good morning. Senior Brother Yihao. Asuna hurriedly paused and said hello.

"Good morning. Asuna. When Yoshihiro Kamiizumi heard Asuna's words, he turned his head to look at Asuna and said with a smile.

"Isn't Senior Brother Yihao still practicing? Asuna remembered that after Yoshihiro Ueizumi returned from his training in the ninja world a few days ago, he only met Mifune and disappeared. As a result, when Asuna knew that Yoshihiro Kamiizumi wanted to find him after he came back and asked him to tell him about the ninja world, Yoshihiro Kamiizumi didn't know where to practice at that time.

"Yes. I've finished practicing. Now it's time to report to the master. Yoshihiro Kamiizumi said.

"That's right. Then I'm going to tell me about the ninja world later. This is something that my brother promised me a few years ago. ”

"Hmm. I know. Yoshihiro Kamiizumi recalled the agreement he made with Asuna when he left Iron Country, "Okay, let's go in together." Don't keep the master waiting too long. ”

"Hmm. ”

I knew where the two of them walked to the living room one after the other. 'Senior Brother Yihao has become really strong. I remember that when my brother left, he was only in his 200s, but now he is in more than 300 levels, which is only one level compared to the master. Asuna looked at the number on the head of Yoshihiro Kamiizumi, who was walking in front, and thought, because it was crossed with the system, so only Asuna could see a person's level, and by the way, Asuna's level was only level 80.

The two of them came to the living room after a while, "Master." Good morning. Yoshihiro Kamiizumi and Asuna knelt in front of Mifune and said.

"You two are here. After Mifune heard the voice, he opened his eyes that were originally closed, "Yoshihiro, you have become a lot stronger." Mifune said when he saw Yoshihiro Kamiizumi and Asuna.

"Where. Yoshihiro Kamiizumi said modestly, "It's only because I met a ninja and fought him, and I lost to him, that I was able to comprehend my current realm." ”

"Hmm. Victory without arrogance, defeat without discouragement, is the spirit of a warrior. You have to persevere. When Mifune heard that Yoshihiro Ueizumi had been defeated, he didn't ask him about the process of the battle, but praised him for his spirit, "It seems that in a few years my old bones will be able to retire." Then he said with a smile.

"Master, you're still very healthy. Yoshihiro Kamiizumi said after hearing Mifune's words.

"yes. The master is still very healthy. Asuna on the side also said.

"That's right. Asuna. You don't know what I'm calling you for, do you?" Mifune said to Asuna after talking to Yoshiho.

"I don't know. Asuna said, shaking her head.

"Actually, that's true. The Konoha Ninja Village in the Land of Fire will hold the Nakashinobi exam in a month's time. So I'm going to let you go and watch it. After watching, you can choose whether to train in the ninja world or in the land of the iron world, these are up to you. Master, I absolutely respect your choice. Mifune said as he looked at Asuna.

"Master, you mean to let me go to Konoha to watch the game, okay? Didn't you say that the Iron Country should remain neutral. Asuna immediately became excited when she heard Mifune's words, after all, she only knew that this world was the world of ninjas, but he had never seen ninjas, after all, there were no ninjas in the Land of Iron. But then I remembered that the Iron Country wanted to remain neutral.

"Asuna. The master meant to let you watch, not to let you go to the competition. So there's no need to worry about affecting the diplomacy of the Iron Country. Besides, Asuna, you're not a warrior in the Iron Nation yet. And the master is to let you go in the name of his disciple. Yoshihiro Kamiizumi, who was on the side, said with a smile after hearing Asuna's words.

"That's right. Asuna said with a smile.

"Hmm. I've already written to the Hokage of Konoha before, Asuna, you'll be ready to go in a few days. Mifune looked at the excited Asuna and said, "That's right. After watching Konoha's middle ninja exam, you'll go to the Casting Country. Take a weapon, that is the master I asked the craftsman there to build, after all, Asuna's sword is more difficult to build in the land of iron, so the master I privately ordered a weapon for you. Don't mind. ”

"No, don't mind. Asuna hurriedly said after hearing Mifune's words, "And this is what the master helped me formulate." It's too late for me to be happy. ”

"Hmm. That's good. Asuna, you should go back and get some things for your trip. I still have a little bit to talk about with Yihao. Mifune said happily when he heard Asuna's words.

"Hmm. Master, I'll retire first. Asuna was so excited to hear Mifune's words that she returned to her home.

=======================================================

It's been a few weeks since the matter of the country of waves, and the middle ninja exam is still a week away.

"You mean to let me receive guests from the Iron Country. Asakura said, standing in front of the Hokage.

"Well, that's right, a guest from the Land of Iron, I heard that he is a disciple of Mifune. This time, we Konoha came to watch it when we were holding the middle ninja exam. So don't worry about unnecessary changes. The third Hokage said as he spit out a cigarette.

"I'm not worried about what will change, but you should know what will happen to the Shinobi exam. You even promised to let the people of the Iron Nation fall into such a thing. Asakura said dissatisfiedly after confirming that there was no one else around.

"Don't worry. The Iron Nation is a country that must remain neutral. So don't worry about her safety, and, if I start, I'll try to let the shadows protect her. The three generations said after hearing Asakura Ha's words.

"I see. It doesn't matter if that guy doesn't make any difference to me. I wouldn't mind killing him if I could. Asakura Ye didn't insist on his own opinion and said.

"Then please. The three generations looked at the horns that Asakura Ye gave him and got the latest information and said, "I didn't expect that I actually had the relics of the six immortals." After Ma Cangye left, the three generations whispered, after all, Ma Cang Ye did not write down the fact that the horns were all traversers, but only wrote that he only owned the relics of the six immortals.

After Asakura leaves the Hokage's office, presumably because it was almost noon, he decided to go to Ichiraku for a bowl of ramen. "Uncle Yile, the same old way. Asakura Ha, who walked into Ichiraku, said to Ichiraku, and then sat down on the chair.

"Aye. Why are you alone today?What about Naruto?" Ichiraku asked curiously when he looked at the two of them, who usually came together, but today he was the only one with Asakuraha.

"Naruto. Because the middle ninja exam is about to start, I plan to practice by myself. Asakura Ye put the ramen in front of him and picked up the chopsticks to eat when he felt someone behind him watching him. Asakura turned around and saw a girl with long blond hair looking at her. No, it's probably looking at the ramen in front of you.

"Do you want to eat it?" Asakura asked, looking at the girl. The girl nodded quickly, "Uncle will have another bowl." Asakura Ye pushed down the ramen that he was about to start eating, and then gave Uncle Ichiraku an extra bowl of ramen.

"Sit down and eat. Asakura Ye picked up a pair of chopsticks and put them on the bowl and said. The girl didn't say much, just sat down and inserted the chopsticks into the bowl, intending to fish out the noodles.

Asakura Ye smiled after watching the girl's movements, "Chopsticks are not used like this. Asakura Ye took the chopsticks from the girl's hand, and with a [snap] sound, the chopsticks that were originally connected together separated, "Come, take it." Asakura took the chopsticks apart and handed them to the girl. "Aye. Your ramen. At this moment, Uncle Ichiraku Ye finished the ramen and put it in front of Ma Cangye.

After taking apart the chopsticks, he started eating them directly. And the girl next to her also ate with the asakura leaf.

"It's rare. Ah Ye, you would even invite other people to eat noodles. Uncle Yile looked at the young girl eating noodles and said.

"Not unusual. It's because no one made me love before. Asakura said after swallowing the noodles in his mouth.

"That's right. Uncle Ichiraku remembered that Asakura and Naruto were the only friends of each other, "But then again, Aye, do you know this little girl?" said Uncle Ichiraku, pointing to the blonde girl who was eating noodles.

"I don't know. Probably someone who saved it from someone else. After all, it's almost time for the middle ninja exam, isn't it?" said Asakura Ha, drinking the soup. "It's still as good as ever. Asakura Ye put the money on Ichiraku's table and left.

"If it's delicious, come often. Uncle Ichiraku's voice came from the store.

'Can you come back later?' thought to himself.

"Are you still eating a bowl? little sister. After Asakura Ye left, Uncle Ichiraku asked the girl who was eating a bowl of noodles and was about to leave.

"I don't have any money. The girl said without changing her face.

"I know. What Ah Ye dropped just now was the money for three bowls of ramen, so do you still have one bowl to eat?" Uncle Yile said after picking up the money that Ma Cangye had put down.

"Hmm. The girl also made it and continued to eat ramen.
