Not long after, Bai and Jun Malu returned to the village to return to Ling.

"Lord Ling." Bai Weimei greeted Ling with a shy face. In front of outsiders, Bai always has an elegant and indifferent temperament, and only when facing Ling will he show his age-appropriate playfulness.

"This is the head of the target person." Jun Malu was much more indifferent, bowed to Ling and then casually threw the package in his hand to the ground, and the human head inside rolled down in front of everyone like a ball.

Ling looked at the head slightly, thought about Cardo's appearance and then nodded, Kakashi in the distance also saw this scene, he was used to seeing ninja killings, he was naturally not frightened, but he still looked at Jun Maro with that expression of inquiry and doubt, thinking about something.

Sakura's face turned a little pale, although Ling's battle before was also shocking, but Jun Maru took the person's head back directly like this, which still scared the 12-year-old girl a lot.

"Hahaha, stupid Sasuke, what are you doing? Learn how to climb trees? At this moment, Naruto's laughter could be heard in the distance.

For Sasuke, who is also in the seventh class, Naruto has always had the intention of not admitting defeat and wanting to surpass, in order to make Sakura notice him is one aspect, and getting more people to pay attention is a deeper expectation.

"Shut up, crane tail!" Naruto laughed at Sasuke's face with a look of embarrassment, but he also forced himself to calm down and continue this kind of practice that seemed a bit idiotic to outsiders.

"What, isn't it just climbing trees!" Naruto smiled and looked at Sasuke with a somewhat disdainful expression, "Look at me, a man who will become a Hokage in the future, to show you a demonstration!" ”

Although it is a little funny about Sasuke's practice, Naruto regards Sasuke as a competitor in every aspect, and he will not miss any chance to compare with Sasuke!

Bang dang! A close touch between flesh and the tree sounded, and Naruto fell to the ground twitching his legs, and a large bag of red light appeared on his head.

"Idiot." Sasuke curled the corners of his mouth, looking at Naruto with a bit of mockery but also with a look of concern.

"Kakashi-sensei, they're here" Sakura was curious about Sasuke and Naruto's practice.

"That's the practice of controlling zhì chakra techniques." Kakashi explained, then looked at Naruto and Sasuke with a slightly sinking expression.

It's time to supervise them, Ling's subordinates are not simple, and it's good to have a little pressure.

"In that way, the mission is complete, right?"

Not caring about these people's thoughts, Jun Maro threw down Kado's head and Ling was slightly stunned for a moment, and then asked Kakashi beside him.

"Uh, yes! Thank you so much! Before Kakashi could answer, Dazna knelt down in front of Ling, "On behalf of this country, I thank the Konoha ninja for their help!" ”

"Don't say anything about thanks, I never do anything meaningless." Ling shook his head, then looked at Dazna with playful blood-colored eyes, "I've done you such a great favor, don't you pay something?" ”

Remuneration? If you ask for money, I'm stunned, and I don't know how to talk about it.

"Ling?" Kakashi was stunned for a moment, guessing Ling's intentions.

Waving his hand at Kakashi, Ling walked in front of Dazna and said, "I know that this country is poor, and I have no intention of asking for money. But "

Ling's words made Dazna breathe a sigh of relief at first, but the unfinished words made his heart tighten.

"Give us the naming rights of this bridge as a reward, isn't that too much to ask?"

Naming rights? Kakashi was stunned, a little unable to guess Ling's intentions.

"Of course!" The old man was stunned for a moment, and then echoed Ling, "Please give a name to this bridge of hope in the country of waves!" ”

"So," Ling nodded, and then took a few steps forward gently, staring in the direction of the bridge, "It's called 'Xiao', how about it?" ”

"Xiao?" Kakashi raised an eyebrow.

Does it mean Tianming? What a good name, a sign of hope for the land of waves! Hahahaha! The old man was stunned for a moment, and then praised Ling.

In fact, it doesn't matter what kind of name Ling has Old Man, the problem is that the pressure Ling gave him is too great, and Ling is not as good at talking as Kakashi, silently watching Ling around him, no one can guess what he is thinking, if he is unhappy and kills himself, it will really be unjustly killed!

"If you like it." Ling slightly hooked the corners of his mouth, and looked at Kakashi who was a little pensive, "Then let's go, the mission is completed." ”

After speaking, he walked forward without waiting for anyone's answer, and Bai and Jun Malu followed closely behind Ling.

Does Xiao have any different meaning? Clutching his chin, Kakashi pondered.

Ling is not a boring person with this kind of fun, everything he does has its own purpose, so the name

"Well, I don't want to." Feeling that he couldn't grasp Ling's thoughts, Kakashi chose to give up thinking, and all the questions were handed over to the three generations of Hokage who were about to meet Ling.

"Naruto, Sasuke, Sakura, go back."

"Yes!"

"Humph!"

"Huh? Wait for me, Sakura-chan, Kakashi-sensei, stupid Sasuke! ”

Walking on the road back to Konoha, Kakashi and Ling were directly divided into two teams and walked one after another.

Kakashi walked in front with his seventh class, while Ling took Haku and Kinmaro behind. Originally, according to Naruto's character, the seventh class would definitely be noisy along the way, but because of the very quiet Ling and Bai and Jun Maro, Naruto was always unnatural to provoke a topic.

"Now, Kakashi-sensei." Unable to stand the somewhat silent and eerie atmosphere, Naruto narrowed his fox eyes and looked at Kakashi beside him, "Who the hell are they?" Do you want to go back to the village with us? ”

Hearing Naruto's question, Sakura also looked curious, while Sasuke pouted, a little uneasy and a little angry.

"Don't underestimate them, Naruto." Looking intently at the novel in his hand, Kakashi flipped his fingers and brought a burst of paper rubbing, "Not to mention those two young people who are about the same age as you, Ling Ke is a disciple of the third generation of Hokage-sama!" ”

"Huh? The old man's disciple? Naruto was stunned and let out a strange scream.

Although he usually uses pranks to expect attention from others, Naruto is not without brains. Kakashi had already told them about the Hokage's status and abilities when he first set out from Konoha on his mission to the country of waves, and Naruto was actually listening very seriously despite the disdain on his face.

"You're 12 years old, aren't you?" Still focused on the novel in his hand, Kakashi's somewhat lazy and flat voice revealed the fact, "He was already a shinobi when he was a year younger than you. ”

"What?" Sakura was startled, and Sasuke let out a "hiss" and clenched his hand into a fist.

"Now in the entire Konoha world, no, maybe there is almost no one in the entire ninja world who can surpass him, including the shadows of various villages, and of course the three generations of Hokage-sama."

"He's so powerful?!" Naruto screamed, then turned back to look at Ling carefully.

Obviously much younger than Kakashi-sensei, is he so powerful?

Indeed, Ling doesn't look like such a powerful person. Feminine and slightly feminine appearance, more slender skeleton and body shape than his peers, although Ling is now 20 years old, he looks more like a seventeen or eighteen-year-old boy, not much older than Jun Malu and Bai around him.

At this time, behind Naruto, Ling seemed to be discussing something with Shiro and Junmaro, Shiro covered his lips and chuckled, and Junmaro's cold eyes also retreated.

"Huh?" Feeling Naruto's gaze, Shiro came back to his senses and smiled softly at Naruto's mouth.

"What's that" Naruto froze, a suspicious flush on his face.

"He's better than that man!" Sasuke, who had been silent, spoke, and the palm of his fist popped out of the muscles.

"Oh? Do you feel it? Kakashi seemed a little surprised, not focusing on the novel but looking at Sasuke, "It's true that they used to be famous, but Ling is better in talent and foundation, although it's a bit arbitrary to say that, but now, there is no one in this world who can defeat Ling." ”

Kakashi's words are indeed very arbitrary, he doesn't know Akatsuki's cunzài, he doesn't know Madara Uchiha's ambitions! I don't know how much Ling has suffered under Itachi's hands, that is, what Itachi did back then made Ling what he is today!

"But you don't have to worry, although you don't know Ling Hui Konoha's true intentions, you can still use this opportunity to ask him." Kakashi's words were for Sasuke, but the meaning inside was worth exploring. He was wondering about Ling's true purpose, and he seemed to be alluding to Sasuke. No matter what, Sasuke is a member of the seventh class, and Kakashi's meaning is a bit revealing that Ling came to Sasuke and began to despise the seventh class, but at the same time, Sasuke's past also made Kakashi very considerate, and it was completely understandable that Sasuke went to Ling for strength, which was a complex mentality that seemed to be accusatory and tolerant.

"Kakashi-sensei, that Ling" Sakura, who had been silent, suddenly spoke, "He's called Uchiha like Sasuke-kun, so why doesn't he live in Konoha?" ”

"Well," Kakashi was stunned for a moment, considering how to explain the question, while Sasuke's face was even more gloomy, even with a hint of hideousness.

"Maybe it's out on some classified mission." After thinking about it, Kakashi said lightly, and then continued, "In short, Ling's affairs will be paid attention to by the three generations of Hokage-sama, and what you have to do now is to start stepping up your cultivation." ”

"Practice?" Naruto was stunned for a moment, finally retracting his attention from Ling.

"yes." Kakashi nodded, and continued: "Although this mission has a relationship that the client deliberately conceals, ninjas will encounter unexpected events, and there are many missions that will directly change their level in the process of execution, and even reach the category of S-rank, your performance and growth in this mission are good, but you also have to step up your cultivation." ”

"Naa! Is Kakashi-sensei going to give us a powerful ninjutsu? Just leave it to me! Naruto still has a strong memory of the chakra that Kakashi used in battle.

"Idiot!" Sasuke snorted coldly.

"Who do you say is an idiot? Stupid Sasuke! ”

"Didn't one of the cranes agree?"

"You"

"Alright, alright." Seeing that Sasuke and Naruto were about to quarrel again, Kakashi smiled and persuaded him, "As for what kind of practice, I'll tell you when I get back to the village." And speaking of which, we've already "

"It's here"

Kakashi didn't finish his words, but Ling behind him sighed softly.

In front of everyone's eyes, the two huge wooden doors of Konoha were towering, still with such a majestic momentum, but they would no longer give Ling a warm feeling.

"Konoha, I'm back"

Looking at Konoha's gate, Ling groaned lightly
