Chapter Twenty-Three: Approaching

"I'm sorry, but you might have to stay up all night tonight. ”

The time of talking to Orochimaru seems to be long.

But for the people who were desperately cultivating in the forest by the stream, it was only a moment.

However, after training desperately, hearing Zhang Nian's words directly made the expressions on their faces become exciting.

"Please, Naruto, didn't you say there were two days? I thought it would be over in the evening. Teeth under a tree, holding on to the trunk of the tree, panting.

"And, since noon, we haven't eaten anything. Ino rubbed his stomach and looked at Zhang Nian with a bitter face.

"Sorry, but it's too late. Zhang Nian shook his head slightly, noncommittal to their words, but never gave in.

"Why is this too late?" asked Xiao Li curiously.

Zhang Nian didn't answer, but took out something from his pocket, stretched it out, and said lightly: "This." ”

"What is this?" Sakura asked in a low voice after glancing at Zhang Nian.

Everyone looked at Zhang Nian, Zhang Nian glanced at them and explained, "Soldier Food Pills." ”

Although everyone in the class had learned about the food during the battle, when they saw the round black Soldier Food Pills, the only thing they could finally recognize was the teeth that had the most contact with the Soldier Food Pills.

Ya frowned slightly: "Naruto, the Bing Food Pill is a fast food in wartime, shouldn't we even have time to eat because of our cultivation?"

Zhang Nian nodded slightly: "Some unnecessary time needs to be compressed." ”

Everyone looked at each other, looking constipated.

Zhang Nian actually didn't want to engage in this kind of devilish training in the second grade, but according to the existing specific process, he really didn't have time.

Two soldier food pills per person, everyone swallowed the soldier food pills with difficulty with frowns, and then began high-intensity chakra continuous training.

Just to increase the control of the chakra to the point where it can walk on the water, this is the entry level of the middle ninja, but for everyone, it is indeed extremely difficult to master it in a day.

Zhang Nian remembered that when Kakashi took Naruto Sasuke Sakura for training, it took many days for the three of them to reach the point of walking on a tree.

At this time, no matter how neat Sakura Ino usually is, she is covered in mud in repeated attempts, but no one cares anymore - who is not like this?

"I'm a lot more tired tonight than these guys. Zhang Nian smiled bitterly and whispered to himself, "Okay, tonight...... Gotta get rid of those old guys. ”

Leaving a shadow clone, Zhang Nian left quietly.

However, as if sensing something, Zhang Nian glanced at the woods on the side, raised his eyebrows, and the corners of his mouth curved a slight arc, and then shook his head absently.

"Kakashi......"

Back to Konoha, Zhang Nian quietly shuttled through the lively crowd, at ten o'clock in the evening, the flow of people surged, and the direction Zhang Nian went to was Konoha's Hyuga home.

After a salutation of Naruto-sama, Zhang Nian entered the territory of the First Great Clan of Konoha for the first time, and ignoring the curious and surprised gazes, Zhang Nian found Hinata Hinata Hinata for the first time.

In the secret room, the two people sitting opposite each other began a conversation.

"You're going to bring them to the Land of Water?Naruto, you won't know what period the Land of Water is at the moment, right?"

"Ah, that's clear...... All they need is war, and a peaceful life is not beneficial to their practice. ”

"I know, but it's too extreme for the three generations Hokage to allow it. ”

"So I'm coming to you first. ”

"Why don't you go to Kakashi?"

"Because it's not going to work on Kakashi's side. ”

A brief contemplation.

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Why?"

"It's necessary for me, and, after fifteen days, I'll bring everyone back safely, externally, I think it's reasonable to call this operation an operation to support the Fog Hide, after killing the Fog Hide's shadows, we just need to mend the rift between the Fog Hide, so it should work, right?"

"It's one thing to work, it's another thing to have someone to support it, you know, although you're about to start touching the core layer of Konoha yet, but for now, you don't have any decision-making ability. ”

"You should have a way. ”

Hinata Hinata looked at Zhang Nian, Zhang Nian smiled, and added: "This is a favor." ”

The moon is missing, and the moonlight shines down, illuminating half of Zhang Nian's face, as if there is half a demonic fox face covering it, full of magic.

The deathly silence lasted for nearly three minutes, and Hinata Hinata let out a sigh of relief, stood up, and said to Zhang Nian with a frown: "Come with me to visit Mr. Lu Jiu first." ”

Zhang Nian had a smile on his face, as long as Hinata Hinata was willing to do it, then the matter would be half the success, and if he wanted to take Shikamaru Sasuke and others to the land of water that was in crisis at this time, Zhang Nian had already been ready to visit these old guys and wear out his mouth.

…… The other side.

Kakashi's pupils shrank, and Zhang Nian's smile made him feel suffocated.

At the same time as Zhang Nian was talking to Hitozu, Kakashi also found three generations.

"Hokage-sama, what is your attitude towards Naruto taking Sasuke and them to practice?" Kakashi asked.

Miyo glanced at Kakashi, casually disposed of a document on the table, and said with a smile, "So, Naruto got Red and Asma and Kai?"

Kakashi pursed his lips, then nodded slightly, "Yes, though, it's because of Hizo-sama." ”

The third generation was not surprised when he heard this, and said lightly: "No matter what method is used, since it is done, then let him go, he probably also wants to see his companions become stronger, no matter what, the middle ninja exam is approaching." ”

Seeing that the three generations were like this, Kakashi was silent for a while, and then spoke again: "This afternoon, Naruto took them to the forest to practice to control the chakra, but after that, Naruto left the village for a while, and I found some traces around the village, Naruto...... It seems to be in contact with some people outside the village. ”

Hearing Kakashi's words, Miyo finally raised his head and stared at Kakashi, "Who is it?"

Kakashi reached out and rubbed his temples with some reluctance, and smiled helplessly, "Naruto's speed is too fast, I didn't keep up with him at the first time, I found traces in my subsequent observations." ”

Miyo's index finger tapped lightly on the table, making a clasping sound.

The three generations didn't speak for a long time, and Kakashi couldn't help but say, "Three generations-sama, I have a very bad premonition, and I applied to secretly observe Naruto. ”

The three generations smoked, spit it out again, and shook his head lightly: "What happened to Naruto's child since he was a child is very different from ordinary children, let's give him more trust and a sense of belonging." ”

Rejecting Kakashi's proposal, Miyo was about to say something when he suddenly looked at the door.

The door was slowly pushed open, revealing the figures of Zhang Nian, Hizu, and Lu Jiu.

The three generations glanced at Kakashi without a trace, and Kakashi retreated to the side, looking at the three Zhang Nian who pushed the door in the same surprise.

Judging from their demeanor, the three of them had just arrived, and they hadn't heard the conversation between him and the three Hokage just now.

"Hizoa-sama, Mr. Kaku. Kakashi said hello, and Hinata Hinata returned the same salute as Nara Shikaku.

Although Zhang Nian is also a shinobi, his qualifications are too shallow, and it is impossible for Kakashi to take the initiative to greet him, this is not a matter of politeness nor is it a question of Kakashi against Zhang Nian.

Zhang Nian was not surprised to see Kakashi here, said hello to Kakashi, and then set his eyes on the three generations.

"Hokage-sama, I hope to take you to the Land of Water for some cultivation in the next fifteen days. Zhang Nian said.

"The Land of Water?" the third generation was stunned and asked, "...... are they referring to?"

"Sasuke Uchiha, Sakura Haruno, Shikamaru Nara, Ino Yamanaka, Akido Dingji, Shino Oilo, Hinata Hinata, Inuyazuka, Hinata Ninji, Tian Tian, Rock Lee. Zhang Nian said: "The middle ninja exam is approaching, and there are already ninjas from other villages entering Konoha, and I hope to take them to do some final cultivation." ”

Although the three generations were surprised, their faces were still calm, and they looked at Zhang Nian and said: "Naruto, first of all, the water country is now almost attacked by water monsters, which is extremely dangerous, and secondly, Sasuke They have just graduated from the ninja school, and they don't have to take the middle ninja exam this time. ”

Zhang Nian said with a smile: "You must participate, Hokage-sama, I will be responsible for this matter, and at the same time, I will ensure the safety of all of them." ”

Hearing this, the three generations finally frowned and said seriously: "I won't agree to this matter." ”

Zhang Nian's eyes looked at Rizu and Lu Jiu next to him, and the two of them also glanced at Zhang Nian.

Then, Lu Jiu nodded slightly, and then said to the three generations: "Hokage-sama, this matter, we hope to ...... Or convene a meeting at the top and decide through final deliberations. ”

The complexion of the three generations changed, and their eyes swept over Lu Jiu and Rizu, as well as Zhang Nian, who pursed his lips and smiled lightly, for a long time.

"Yes. ”

Next, there was a meeting at the upper level, which lasted from the evening until late at night.

With Zhang Nian's identity at this time, at such a meeting, he could only sit and listen, and everything was left to Rizu and Lu Jiu to operate.

However, Zhang Nian and Rizu visited him, and naturally it was not just Shikamaru's father, Lu Jiu, who was alone.

In the middle of the night, on the long elliptical table lit with lights, the matter of whether Sasuke and the others could go to the land of water with Zhang Nian to practice had reached the final stage.

"Vote. The three generations looked at the looks of everyone on the long table and said slowly.

Kakashi put his hands on the table with his back to the sky: "Against." ”

Lu Jiu glanced at Zhang Nian and Rizu, and put his palms on the table with his palms facing the sky: "Yes." ”

Naturally, Rizu also made a statement.

In the small conference room, with Zhang Nian's nine people, eight people began to vote one after another.

Kakashi, against.

Hyuga, in favor.

Nara Shikahisa, in favor.

Turn to Koharu, oppose.

Three generations of Hokage, against.

Kaichi Yamanaka, yes.

Morino Ibihi, in favor.

Mito Menitis ...... Approve.

Looking at everyone's vote, Zhang Nian breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and he was also very surprised that Hinata Hinata was able to say that Mito Menyan, an older generation of conservatives, and the depth of the Hyuga clan's roots in Konoha seemed to be deeper than he imagined.

Despite the fact that the Hokage had a five-point vote, he still lost.

The matter was finalized in the middle of the meeting, and when the meeting ended, Zhang Nian saw Kakashi's undisguised vigilance against himself.

Zhang Nian smiled indifferently, and let out a sigh of relief, Zheng Zhi This kind of thing, he will not play much in the future.

Walking out of the conference room, the night shift was three shifts, there were no pedestrians on the road, and unlike the tired faces of the others, Zhang Nian was relaxed, because this was the only thing he had to do in Konoha and it had been completed now.

Coming to the forest above Shadow Rock, in the darkness, you can hear the sound of everyone still practicing controlling the chakra.

After lifting the shadow clone, Zhang Nian took a few steps forward: "Okay, stop for a while, there are some things to say." ”

"Teacher......" The spark leaned over first, and then the dirty crowd.

Looking at the panting crowd, Zhang Nian slowly spoke: "I want to talk about some skills now, or rather, I have to remember the experience of controlling Chakra, and then continue to try, tomorrow at six o'clock in the morning, I will take you to leave Konoha and go to the Land of Water for another kind of cultivation, the Land of Water is surrounded by the sea, if you don't master the method of walking on water before tomorrow morning, you will probably have to swim over, if you work hard now, it's not too late." ”

"What?!Going to the Land of Water?" Shikamaru was surprised: "Naruto, does Hokage-sama know about this?"

Zhang Nian nodded: "I just left for a while, I just went to work on this matter, according to the task, you are all my subordinates now." ”

"Hey, what I'm more concerned about is why I waited until now for us to practice and didn't tell us anything about my experience?" said Ya dissatisfied.

"Because if you talk about it now, the effect will be better. Zhang Nian said lightly.

Zhang Nian's control of Chakra can be said to be at the level of demons, and what he said in plain language gave everyone a new understanding of what they had just done, negated what should be denied, confirmed what should be confirmed, and had a new feeling of understanding Chakra.

Looking at the people who digested what they said and started practicing again, Zhang Nian blinked his eyes and called for Sparks to fulfill his promise to give Spark Ninjutsu.

……

I don't know how long it took for the dark forest to become brighter, and when everything in the forest became visible, on the surface of the stream, you could see a few calm but proud faces, who stood easily on the water.

On the branches, Zhang Nian stretched his waist with a smile, looked up at the sky that had just turned white, and said: "Very good, let's go, let's go now, when we get to the dock near the country of water, I will give you half a day to rest, now, it's time to leave Konoha." ”

At six o'clock in the morning, there were not many pedestrians on the street, but they could see a few Shinobi from other villages, obviously, they all came to take the Shinobi exam and arrived early, Zhang Nian walked in the front, and soon came to the entrance of Konoha's village.

Outside the village, a group of three people walked slowly and quickly approached the village, Zhang Nian looked over casually and saw three familiar faces.

He didn't expect to be able to see Iaira Temari and Kankuro who arrived in Konoha when he was leaving.

I, Ai Luo, obviously also looked at Zhang Nian and the group behind him.

Just when the two sides were about to stagger by, I Ai Luo stopped, turned his head to look at Zhang Nian who was in the lead, looked indifferent, and said in a calm voice: "Yellow hair, you are the one, Konoha genius Shangnin, I ......"

Rumble!!

Before the words fell, a terrifying crash suddenly sounded!

A fox tail behind Zhang Nian bent in an instant, and then smashed into my Ailuo like a violent spring.

I almost didn't have time to look horrified, unable to make any defensive moves.

Fortunately, Shazi's reaction was much faster than his, and at the moment when the foxtail behind Zhang Nian just launched an attack, a thick sand curtain condensed in front of my Airo.

However, the absolute defense of the quick reaction was like a papier-mΓ’chΓ© in front of the foxtail with the power explosion.

The foxtail easily shattered the sand curtain, and the sand and gravel flew, and the next second, the foxtail touched my Airo's chest.

Iro, who was originally standing next to Zhang Nian, was directly blasted to the trunk of the tree on the side of the road, smashing the thick trunk, and the corners of his chest and mouth flowed a dazzling bright red.

Kankuro and Temari, who were following me Airo, looked at Zhang Nian with horror on their faces, and their whole bodies trembled because of fear.

Smoke and dust were everywhere, sawdust was flying, and Zhang Nian continued to walk forward with a calm face: "I'm sorry, I'm in a hurry." ”
