After Sasuke and Sakura completed the homework assigned by Kakashi, the three of them in the seventh class completely entered free-range mode.

Some of them practice alone like Naruto and Sasuke, some have nothing to do for a day, and even have leisure like a walk around town, like a nymphomaniac.

And what Kakashi has to do every day is to cultivate and recover, and the current Kakashi is obviously different from three years later, just a short use of the Sharingan, not only the chakra is consumed, but the physical condition is almost at the limit of bearing because of the burden of the Sharingan.

Obviously, three years later, he has fought against Itachi and Deidara, and he has also opened the kaleidoscope to fight, and I haven't seen him so vulnerable, I don't know what happened during this time.

It seems that during this period of time in "Shippuden", not only the growth of the protagonists is amazing, but even Kakashi has been patched with some kind of patch, which gives him the slightly spoofed title of "Five-Five Open".

"What can I do?" Whenever he thought of this, Naruto couldn't help but worry.

With no way to lure out the Nine-Tails Chakra, he honestly didn't have much confidence that his growth rate could keep up with the big army in three years, and the experience of these six years told him that he was not a stunning genius.

It's even worse than the crane-tailed Naruto in the plot, after all, it took him four full years to learn Spiral Pill, and he really has no position to think that he is more talented than the original Naruto.

Seeing his shadow clone on the edge of the waterfall trying to cut the water with the wind, Naruto was thinking about what to do at this time, with some distress.

It's not that he's worried, it's that he knows that it's only a few days before the end of the country of waves, or Orochimaru's "Konoha Collapse Plan", and then he will meet ruthless people like Iairo and even Orochimaru, and with his current level, it is obviously not enough to deal with it safely.

The more familiar he was with the plot, and the more he compared Naruto's various encounters and solutions, the more pressure he felt in his heart.

Because he found the biggest difference between himself and the original Naruto, that is, he no longer seems to be the protagonist.

The original Naruto was the tail of the crane, yes, if you compare horizontally in theory, he is indeed stronger at this time.

But this is only theoretical, don't forget that the original Naruto can be said to be hanging, the protagonist's aura allows him to turn the corner at every moment of crisis, not to mention, the nine-tails in the body are still very cooperative, and the Chakra meridians in the first battle with Ningji are sealed by others and can be forcibly sent out of Chakra, how can he compare?

Looking at the several battles he has had so far, except for the ghost brother who is no threat to him, he can be said to have used the shadow clone to the extreme, obviously not deliberately to show off, but he knows that he doesn't have the aura of the protagonist, and if he dies, it will be over, so he doesn't dare to wave it.

If he could use the power of the Nine-Tails, with the protection of the Nine-Tails from the container in times of crisis, his fighting style would be much more unrestrained, at least not as cautious as he is now.

Sure enough, in the end, the problem still can't get around the Nine-Tails, this stinky fox is now about to force Naruto to the stomach, knowing that the Chakra of the Wind Escape may have to wait for a long time to be used in actual combat, Naruto can't help but turn his thoughts back to the Nine-Tails.

But just as God deliberately played an annoying joke with him, the problem of the Nine-Tails was like a dead end in front of him, and he couldn't even find the direction of his efforts.

"Do you really have to rely on yourself......" Naruto thought to himself as he sat on a dry boulder.

Stretching out his hand, a blue chakra whirlwind appeared, and if you looked closely, you would find that a little white light began to appear in the center of the spiral pill, but this white light was like a candle in the wind, and it disappeared in an instant.

Naruto smiled bitterly and dispersed the spiral pill in his hand, and the heart path was really not a simple addition of one, but a geometric increase in difficulty.

The slight breakthrough in the chakra nature cultivation in the past two days made him can't help but try to add a nature change to the spiral pill, and the result is obvious, whether it is the nature change or the degree of control, it is difficult for him to achieve it now.

"It's not good to prepare with both hands, and you have to plan C." After scavenging all the ideas he could think of to improve his strength in a short period of time, Naruto found that the two preparations he had prepared before, "Nine-Tails" and "Wind Escape Nature Change", might not have enough time to complete, and he had to come out of the machine to express himself.

"It seems that I have to discuss it with my little daughter-in-law when I go back this time." At this time, an idea that he had been putting on hold came to his mind, and Naruto decided to try it when he went back.

If he wants to increase his strength in the short term, this idea is the only way out for him at the moment.

After all, due to his own existence, a lot of things that should have happened have changed, such as the fact that he finished climbing trees and treading water early, and Kakashi didn't seem to treat him that way.

In other words, whether or not he will be introduced through Ebisu in the future is probably two theories, and if Jirai does not appear to teach him, the loss is not small.

Because this not only means that the spiritism of Miaomu Mountain is lost, but also the road of immortal art behind it is blocked.

"I'm in Gan Gods and Demons?" Thinking of this, Naruto couldn't help but fall into deep self-doubt, wondering if it was better for him to pretend to be the original hot-blooded idiot from the beginning, so that everything would undoubtedly go much smoother, and he wouldn't be as entangled as he is now.

However, he just thinks about it, although he always laughs at himself as an actor, in fact, he can't stand this kind of disguised life, the "Book of Seals" is already his limit at that time, and if he continues to act, he suspects that there will be problems in his heart, which is also the root of his gradual self-release during this time.

has already graduated, and the three generations are about to receive a bento, he doesn't feel that he needs to show anyone else, as for Kakashi and the like, he just wants to say "love whoever you want, you don't serve".

In the past, it was understandable that the future was precarious, and now that you are still living so hypocritically, won't this second life become meaningless?

Thinking about it for a while, temporarily determining the main idea of improving his strength next, Naruto looked at the sky and decided to go back.

Putting away the shadow clone and experiencing a little of today's gains, he jumped up to the treetops and hurried towards Daz's house.

The daily life of the past few days has been unexpectedly relaxed, as if he has returned to his usual mode, practice, practice and practice, except for the traumatized child of the Daz family who comes out from time to time to sarcastically, everything is so in accordance with the rules, which makes him very satisfied.

As for the child Inari, Naruto would not argue with a child about a "hero" or something like in the original plot, he simply ignored it, and not only him, but also the rest of the seventh class.

Naruto didn't know what other people thought, anyway, he thought that it was good for this child to keep the status quo, whether he was sincere, or because he was afraid that the tragedy on his "father" would happen again, it was good to pretend like this, at least he could keep his life as it was, otherwise after giving him hope, it would inevitably make him have the illusion that ninjas are heroes, and he wouldn't live long, especially in this rotten country and cruel world.

Even without Cardo, with the numbness of this country, there will be others in the future, what bright future can a country that can be controlled by black-hearted businessmen, and no one can be relied on until Inari himself learns to grow and master power.

Of course, choosing to be a hero or living numb depends on his own choice after all, Naruto's side has no position to criticize anything, just hopes that this kid can understand that everything has a price, and the reason why heroes are heroes is because even if they understand this, they still have no hesitation to do what heroes should do, just like his "father".

……

After passing through several water systems, Naruto soon came to the clearing where he had practiced the other day, and it was not far from Daz's house.

"It's not very efficient to rush like this, if only there was a hook and rope in a wolf." Unlike Konoha, the country of waves often comes across small rivers and streams, and the trees on both sides of the river are beyond the distance he jumps from, which makes him complain a little unpleasantly.

Whenever the continuous jump is interrupted, he always can't help but think of the iron career in his previous life, the protagonist wolf is also a ninja, but his ability to climb the water is not like the ninja here rely on chakra and legs, but rely on the hook lock in the left hand of the ninja, this way of traveling, especially the continuous hook lock forward is to give people a refreshing feeling, and it seems to be very efficient.

Naruto couldn't help but wonder if he was researching one of these, which should be pretty cool to swing around the woods.

"Huh?"

At this time, just as Naruto was hurrying and YY, a figure caught his attention.

It was a man in a light-colored yukata with a basket in the water, and his black hair was like ink.

"What a coincidence, I actually met here." Naruto looked condescendingly at the man who was collecting the medicine, and he already recognized this person in his heart.

That's right, the person in front of him who is as delicate as the person in the painting is the white who will not be rescued last time, the first time he has seen white without a mask, even if Naruto has already prepared for it, he can't help but be amazed at this moment.

Suddenly, a few adjectives that shouldn't be described in a man pop up in my mind:

It is really a dark cloud on the sideburns, and a crescent moon on the eyebrows; The muscles are condensed and the snow is condensed, and the face is lined with sunset.

It's the first time he's seen someone, especially a man who can look like this, if this person travels to his previous life, it is estimated that all the perverts of those pseudo-mothers and medicine girls will be unemployed, and the dead fat houses will go crazy collectively.

At the same time that Naruto sighed in his heart that Bai looked so bad for the country and the people, Bai also found Naruto, and also recognized Naruto, in the past few days, every time he mentioned the existence of gnashing his teeth, he obviously wouldn't forget, but Bai didn't show his face, just continued to collect medicine like an ordinary medicine picker, he obviously thought that Naruto couldn't recognize himself at this time.

It's a pity that he was destined to be disappointed, he didn't know that Naruto was the guy who opened the "plot hanging", just when he thought Naruto would leave immediately, Naruto on the tree suddenly said something that surprised him:

"If you don't cut it again, you'll be almost recovered."

Bai Wenyan was immediately startled, he couldn't understand how Naruto recognized him, but he pretended to be ignorant on his face, and looked up at Naruto following the voice: "I'm sorry, are you talking to me?" ”

I don't know if Bai at this time is a fluke or other reasons.

"Don't pretend to be confused, there's no one else here, Kakashi and they're all in Daz's house, it's just you and me, why don't you be more direct?" Haku's reaction wasn't strange at all, Naruto said to him as he sat directly on a branch.

It was rare that no one bothered him, and Naruto naturally did not intend to ignore Shiro, who suddenly entered his field of vision, as if he was satisfying his curiosity.

"......" Shiro didn't immediately quibble again after hearing this, but fell silent, and after a while, Shiro put away his disguise and looked up at Naruto expressionlessly, "What do you want?" ”

It wasn't clear whether he simply believed Naruto or confirmed that there were indeed only each other nearby, but Shiro didn't waste any more time and went straight to Naruto, who was also curious about Naruto's intentions.

"It's not good, don't be nervous, I'm just curious about you, and I'm just giving you some advice by the way." Noticing Shiro's vigilance below, Naruto said with a smile.

He was actually thinking about it in his heart at the moment, if he hadn't taken this opportunity to "communicate" with Bai more deeply, after all, considering that there would be others to disturb him later in the plot, such a one-on-one opportunity was not easy, so he didn't mind Bai being ready to fight at any time.

"Advice?" Shiro looked suspicious, obviously more concerned about Naruto's second half of what he said than Naruto's curiosity about himself.

"That's right, but it's too late to talk about that later, the most important thing now is to satisfy my curiosity!" Naruto got up as he spoke, and when he said the word "curious", the man pounced on Shiro from above like a bird of prey.

The straw basket in his hand fell to the ground, and Shiro looked at Naruto with calm eyes at this time, obviously not surprised by this result.

……

In the original clearing, the frost had attached a snow-white patch to the turf, making it look out of place with the surrounding green.

Several people hugged the giant tree and broke it, and there were scars on the trunk, which looked terrible, and there were thousands of books densely planted on the ground, like a terrifying nail bed, if the dense phobia saw this, I am afraid that he would immediately faint.

However, the blonde boy in the field ignored the tragic battlefield, calmly walked to the river, and plunged his frost-covered left hand into the water, using the current to lift the ice on his arm.

"It deserves its reputation, this time I really took out the bottom of the box, but I didn't expect it to make him run away." Naruto, crouching on the water, shook his head and muttered to himself.

He really didn't expect someone to be able to run away after eating a spiral pill from him head-on, the pressure he felt from Bai before didn't deceive him, Bai was indeed much stronger than he imagined.

Obviously made a confident move, but not only did he run away, but he almost became disabled, Naruto couldn't help but cry and laugh, he didn't know what he was doing.

Fortunately, with the washing of the water, the left hand that had been paralyzed by the frost gradually regained consciousness and began to emit a heart-piercing pain, which made him finally relieved, and he almost really had to pretend to be a righteous hand.

"The bloodline limit is really troublesome, or how do you hate the bloodline, but fortunately, this time I should be counted as winning." Thinking back to the previous battle, Naruto got up and looked in the direction Shiro had left, and couldn't help but smile slightly.

……

At the same time, at this moment, Shiro also returned to Cardo's base.

I saw him staggering open the door, and as soon as he entered the door, he couldn't help but vomit out a mouthful of blood, which surprised the person who was stilting his legs in the room to cultivate freely.

"Shiro, did you meet that Kakashi guy?" Zai Bu frowned and hurriedly asked.

That was his first reaction, in his opinion, no one could force Shiro to this point except Kakashi, and it was the first time he had seen Shiro so embarrassed except for that encounter a few years ago.

"No, it's the blond-haired man......" Shiro replied, slumping limply on the couch.

His mind was now full of the beautiful and deadly blue whirlwind in Naruto's hand at the end, if it weren't for the fact that he had condensed a layer of ice in his abdomen at the critical moment, coupled with the extremely fast detachment of the ice body, he might not have been able to come back completely.

"Blonde? It's that damn imp! No more than Wen Yan's mind immediately recalled the previous kick, he couldn't help gritting his teeth, and then he asked again: "That little ghost is indeed a little different, but it is really unexpected to be able to hurt you to this extent, it seems to be his dying outburst, Bai, you are still a little inexperienced." ”

If you don't kill this side, it is natural to think that Naruto's dying explosion will end up in such a situation without Shiro noticing for a while, and in his heart, there is no option for Shiro to lose.

"......" Bai Wenyan didn't know how to speak for a while.

"I'm sorry, if I don't kill the adult again, I lost, if the other party wasn't familiar with Bing Dun, maybe I wouldn't be able to become an adult's tool anymore." After a moment of silence, Bai still told the truth after all.

It's not that he won't lie, but if he goes on like this, he's afraid that he won't be able to judge the situation again, so even if he risks the result of disappointment, he must tell him bluntly.

Today's fight made him completely rediscover the strength of the other party, and it wasn't just Kakashi, the blonde boy was a formidable opponent he had never seen before.

"What?!" Hearing this, he stood up excitedly and looked at Bai in disbelief, "Did you even use the Blood Inheritance Limit, and even then you lost to that blonde ghost?" ”

If he didn't understand Bai's character, he would think that Bai was playing a prank, because this was a fact that he couldn't accept.

In his cognition, not to mention a little ghost like Naruto, even Kakashi and even himself, if he wants to win Haku, he needs to go all out, and he naturally knows how difficult Ice Escape is and how difficult it is to see countless times.

However, today he heard that Shiro had been defeated at the hands of that nasty blonde imp, which made it difficult for him to accept it for a while.

"I'm sorry, don't behead the adult......" Seeing the appearance of no more beheading, Bai on the side felt very guilty, feeling that his "tool" had lost its meaning.

However, he still had to say what he had to say, such as what Naruto told him to pass on.

“…… That was the boy's advice. In the middle of the battle, Naruto's exact words were repeated in the middle of the battle.

"Whoa!"

Hearing this, he couldn't help but overturn the table, his red eyes and rage.

"Humph! Very good, it seems that both of us have been underestimated, and we are still underestimated by a newly graduated imp, it's time to teach Konoha what ninja etiquette is, so that he can understand what kind of existence his predecessors are. He said almost word for word.

At this moment, Naruto was already in a hurry to be slashed, and he even blurted out the ridiculous title of "ninja senior".
