"This trip is really ......" Naruto couldn't help but laugh when he returned home and put the money from this mission into the small vault under the cabinet.

was busy for three weeks and almost a month, but the reward for the task was only a pitiful 10,000 taels in his hand, so the cost performance of helping Mrs. Daimyo catch Xiaohu was simply outrageous.

Not to mention anything else, from an economic point of view, this trip is really a blood loss, doing the work of B-level tasks, and receiving low-level salaries in C-level tasks, this kind of thing will be done by their seventh class.

Carefully counted the money in the small vault, and after confirming that there was no less, he carefully put it back to the bottom of the cabinet, which was all his net worth, and he usually saved it from between his teeth little by little, so he had to be cautious.

Now he is in a state of complete self-sufficiency, and the village's relief has long since stopped when he graduates, and if the small treasury has three long and two short, he can only shamelessly eat Iruka or rub the little daughter-in-law's bento.

Although he usually does not do this less, after all, money has to be spent on the blade, Iruka is a middle ninja, and the little daughter-in-law is everyone's great cause, and they can't eat poorly.

"Is the following the middle ninja exam, there are still too few hole cards." Pouring a cup of tea, Naruto thought about what was next.

The only thing he can get his hands on now is the Spiral Pill, the change in the nature of the chakra is far from complete, and the new "plug-in" is not bad, but it's a pity that this "equipment mastery" doesn't seem to have an effect on ninja weapons, otherwise he wouldn't have had to practice shuriken and kunai a few years ago.

But the day after tomorrow, you can buy a weapon such as a ninja straight knife, if it is also effective, it will undoubtedly add a means of fighting the enemy, which will be noted first.

The rest is to continue the cultivation of nature change, there is no shortcut to this, as for the Nine Tails, he is now basically in a state of abandonment, he feels that instead of continuing to waste time like this, it is better to improve himself little by little, although it will be much slower, and the effect may be far inferior to the former, but he thinks that it is time to abandon illusions.

Countless various experiments have proved that he may not really have the Nine-Tails in his body, and the ghost knows where this stinky fox and Naruto's soul went, anyway, he is completely out of luck.

"You have to hurry up, the original book doesn't say how long it will be before the Shiranami no Kuni exam, but I don't think it will be too long......" Thinking of this, Naruto drank all the tea in his cup, and he didn't care about the fatigue of the journey back, and immediately decided to go out and continue his previous practice.

The next Konoha collapse plan and the big snake pill behind him made him feel very urgent, as well as ruthless people such as Iara, with his level at this moment, it is undoubtedly a luxury to want to be safe in this next series of events, whether the nine tails are in him or not, he is what people think is a "human pillar force", plus he is in the same class as Sasuke, so obviously some battles are inevitable, and he has finally experienced Sasuke's strong desire for power now.

Without the Nine-Tails, he had to be ready before everything started.

……

While Naruto's side was busy trying his best to improve his strength, in the Hokage's office, Miyome was listening to Kakashi's report on the mission of the Land of Waves.

"Whew~ Is that so, it seems that Naruto's kid didn't inherit the gentleness of the water gate." After listening to Kakashi's "emphasisively" portrayed Naruto's various behaviors, Miyome smoked his pipe and sighed in confusion.

As he spoke, he involuntarily looked up at the picture of the Shiyome Hokage on the wall.

Kakashi's description of Naruto's various performances that are very different from those of his peers may seem unexpected to the three generations, but it makes sense to think about what Naruto has suffered over the years.

Living in the midst of people's discrimination and discrimination, and even almost losing the ability to speak a few years ago, children who grow up in this way do not have some psychological problems and are different from ordinary people, which is out of reality.

"I see, thank you Kakashi." Miyome first recognized Kakashi's work, knowing that both Naruto and Uchiha's descendants were problem children, and it was not easy to be an instructor for these two.

Then the third generation said: "Although Naruto's child is a little out of place with others in some things, I believe that his essence is still good, don't you also say that he has saved his companions many times this time, he is just too sensitive and closed-minded, which requires you, and the rest of the seventh class to slowly infect this child, this is urgent, I believe that one day Naruto will accept you and everyone." ”

"Konoha is a big family, they are important compatriots to each other, sometimes what is needed is to really open your heart to understand the feelings of others, I think you should understand this very well, don't be too wary of that child, don't you think he is very similar to you once you hehe."

Miyome smiled kindly, but the meaning of his words couldn't be clearer, he was asking Kakashi to be a little more patient with Naruto, obviously in the previous report, Miyome could feel Kakashi's excessive defensiveness towards Naruto.

"Yes, Hokage-sama." Kakashi nodded and admitted his mistake.

The words of the three generations really woke him up.,After Obito's death,,He has been entangled in guilt and regret and completely forgot what he was like before.,Always subconsciously use Obito's standards to demand others.。

Therefore, the more mature and capable Naruto became, the more he resembled himself, the more wary and disgusted he became, and thus lost the opportunity to truly understand Naruto.

It wasn't until he was pointed out by the third generation that Kakashi suddenly apologized for his previous thoughts about Naruto, he understood that he had fallen into the trap of subjective assumptions, and that Naruto, a child, might need to understand him from a different perspective.

Just like his teacher, the fourth generation Hokage.

"I see, I'll pay more attention to the ways and means of Hokage-sama in the future." Kakashi Masaki.

"Very good, you've always been so reassuring, Kakashi, it's not far from the Chunin exam, I think with their performance on this trip to the country of waves, it should be enough to deal with it, and at the upcoming briefing meeting, I think you can try to register for them, to give young people more opportunities to grow." Miyome said with satisfaction.

By the way, I reminded Kakashi about the middle ninja exam, and it seems that Naruto and their middle ninja exam or not, the decision is fundamentally up to the three generations.

"Yes, Hokage-sama."

……

As Kakashi left, a secret door in the room quietly opened, and an old man with a cane and his left eye wrapped in a bandage walked in.

"You are too naïve, the psychology of Renzhuli is so unstable, and you actually let him move freely in the village, you should hand him over to me." The old man didn't seem to have any respect for the head of Konoha in front of him, the three generations of Hokage, and he said by his name when he came in.

If the Hokage Ape Flying Sun Slash is the façade of Konoha and the huge canopy that shades the entire village, then Shimura Tunzo is the "root" that goes deep into the ground, rooted in the darkness.

"Don't think about Naruto, Danzo, as long as I live for one day, I won't hand Naruto over to you." The third generation replied without raising his head.

Apparently a similar conversation should have happened more than once.

"Humph! Boring hypocrisy, when will you get rid of these stinky problems, but it's only been twelve years, and the scars left by the Nine-Tails' rampage have already healed, how dangerous it is to let those people be free, think about it. Tuan Zang was obviously not reconciled to this, and said with an even more gloomy face.

Danzo is different from the three generations, he doesn't believe in human nature, he believes in absolute control of power, from the day of the human pillar force, he is against letting the human pillar force become an ordinary ninja, in his opinion, the human pillar force is just a weapon, and the weapon should not have a mind of its own.

"Enough! This is Konoha, not Shagakure, the seal on Naruto's body is the strongest gossip seal, and there will be no situation that you are worried about, as evidenced by the fact that the child did not even suffer from mental illness and caused the power of the Nine-Tails to go out of control. Eventually, Miyome was annoyed by Danzo's words, and stared him in the eye sternly to stop the topic.

Naruto's past experience had already made him feel very guilty, and he couldn't let him become the kind of thoughtless puppet under Danzou's control, so after saying that, he ruthlessly ordered his old friend to be evicted.

"Humph! You'll regret it sooner or later, that little imp and Mito-sama are not the same as Kushina, I can see that it is a person with a rebellious soul like the Uchiha, and you will pay for the kindness of your woman, Hito. Danzang finally said hatefully.

After saying that, he walked out of the secret door without looking back, leaving only the three generations of Hokage shrouded in smoke to sit there thoughtfully.
