Chapter 9: Companions
Naruto, who is familiar with the plot, knows what a terrifying enemy he is about to face, so he pushes himself all the time, and agreeing to Sakura's request will distract him somewhat and waste some of his time, which is one of the reasons why Naruto is reluctant to agree. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
But Naruto really couldn't deal with Sakura's crying tricks, so he had to agree, in fact, what he was going to hand over to Sakura, if it developed according to the plot, someone would teach her sooner or later, Naruto just advanced this plot.
At dusk the next day, Sakura came to Naruto, and Sasuke happened to come to Naruto to challenge him, and after discovering Naruto's training for Sakura, he also decided to join them, and the relationship between the three was somewhat awkward, but it didn't affect their belief that they wanted to become stronger.
Now their bodies are not fully developed, so the chakra in their bodies has not been completely refined, and the first lesson given to them by Naruto is to use chakra to climb trees, as for agreeing to Sasuke's joining, it is also because Chakra's control will also affect Sasuke's play on the writing wheel.
Naruto didn't set them the goal of climbing to the top of the tree, just let them try to do their best, of course, this cultivation Naruto had already completed under the guidance of the three generations, in order not to disturb the two, Naruto explained some essentials and started his own cultivation away from the two.
At this time, Sakura can't control the chakra skillfully, so she doesn't climb to a high position like in the original book, but her performance is indeed much better than Sasuke, and her progress is faster than Sasuke, which makes Sakura very happy, and finally can surpass Sasuke in a certain aspect.
When both of them were exhausted, the day's practice was over, and it was time for Sakura and Sasuke to go home, Naruto didn't ask for it very harshly, just let them go step by step, he didn't want to pull out the seedlings to help them.
After a few hours of practice, Sakura and Sasuke, who returned home, both felt their subtle growth, and while they were grateful to Naruto, they also strengthened their hearts to become stronger.
In this way, Sakura and Sasuke, who tasted the sweetness, often asked Naruto to guide themselves, and the three generations of Naruto's teaching also came to an end, so more often the three of them practiced together, and at the same time, there were three guys who often skipped classes in the ninja school, and Iruka had nothing to do about it.
After a period of time, Sasuke and Sakura have been able to skillfully control Chakra, Naruto arranged for the two to conduct actual combat exercises with himself, usually Naruto is one against two, Sakura and Sasuke know Naruto's strength, whether to keep the shot, in this case, the progress of the two is very obvious.
After such a long period of contact, the embarrassment between the three people disappeared, and an inexplicable emotion also appeared in their hearts, and Sasuke also somewhat understood the answer he wanted to get.
...............................................
Time passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye, it was Naruto's twelfth birthday, and at night, Naruto, as in previous years, did not prepare anything, just locked himself in his room, then turned off the light, and lay quietly on the bed.
Twelve years ago on this day, it was also the time when Naruto lost his parents in two lifetimes, so celebrating his birthday was also the time when Naruto felt the most lonely, the kind of loneliness that gradually swallowed up by darkness in his heart.
Just when Naruto was secretly sad, he suddenly remembered the doorbell, which also woke Naruto from the darkness in his heart, got up and opened the door to see that it was Sasuke and Sakura, Naruto didn't know what would happen to the two of them coming to him so late.
"Naruto, you're really not funny, you don't call us for your birthday, you don't say it every time you ask, we finally got caught this year." Sakura took out the cake hidden behind her and made a mischievous grimace at Naruto, Sasuke still looked cold, but with a smile on his face.
"How do you know?"
"We're taking a big risk and sneaking into the school to peek at your file, and then Sasuke and I are going to give you a big surprise this year, how about it, touched."
It's a lie to say that he is not moved, Naruto is in this world, except for the little girl in tattered clothes he met a few years ago, it is Sasuke and Sakura who bring him a warm feeling.
"Thank you!" Saying that, Naruto stepped forward and hugged the two, which made Sakura embarrassed and excited, because under Naruto's effect, it was the first time she had contact with Sasuke so closely.
"Naruto, that's all for you, I don't want to be embarrassed standing here with you." Sasuke's dissatisfied voice came, and Naruto let go of them, embarrassed to welcome the two into the house.
Although Sakura still wants to continue like this, she also understands that she has to be reserved as a girl, and after preparing everything, Sakura pulls a reluctant Sasuke and starts singing a birthday song for Naruto.
Looking at the two of them in the flickering candlelight, Naruto felt the emotion from his companion for the first time, and he also truly recognized the two of them at this moment.
