The afternoon sunlight shines through the shade of the trees, forming pillars of light among the trees, and the dust that is usually difficult to see seems to have life in these light injections.

On a relatively empty meadow lay a group of horned deer with anthropus on their heads, and there were many fawns in the herd, leaning against the doe, and the horns on the small triangular head looked particularly stubborn.

Occasionally, a few ethereal chirpings of birds can be heard in the woods, making the forest seem more quiet and silent....

Whoosh~Whoosh...

Suddenly there was a discordant sound in the woods, and the herd of deer lying on the grass immediately stood up, in order, like a well-trained team, and the trumpet-like ears under the antlers were at the same time alertly propped up, as if eavesdropping on the movements around them.

Swish! Swish!

Two dark shadows suddenly flashed from the trunk of a tree not far from the meadow.

The neat herd of deer immediately scattered in fright and fled, and soon disappeared without a trace.

"Naruto! That's it, there's no energy, it's almost five o'clock, and further on the forest of death! ”

Suddenly, a figure standing slightly behind stood in the trunk of a tree, and a tired voice was heard.

"Oh? Shikamaru, this is the Forest of Death you talked about earlier? ”

The figure in front of him stopped when he heard this, and his blond hair stood out in the sunlight.

At this moment, the two figures on the trunk of the tree in the forest were Naruto and Shikamaru.

"Well, I can't go any further, I.. Well? Naruto you! ”

Shikamaru, who was talking, suddenly saw Naruto wave his hand, and a kunai shot at him.

Shikamaru's body immediately flashed, avoiding kunai and shooting a kunai at Naruto at the same time.

It's a ninja's instinct to fight back.

But the next situation made Shikamaru's pupils shrink, because he saw that Naruto didn't dodge and was hit by the kunai shot by himself.

Boom!

Just when he was a little flustered, Naruto, who was in the middle of his life, fell backwards and suddenly turned into a piece of wood the moment he hit the ground.

Shikamaru's expression immediately relaxed, and then he turned his gaze in the other direction and said in surprise: "You have already learned the stand-in technique!" ”

"What's so strange about this, it's just a basic three-body technique," Naruto, who appeared on another big tree, quietly glanced in a certain direction in the distance and replied, "Didn't you people from the Konoha clan have already mastered these things that Shinobi should be introduced?"

Moonlight Blast began to move away the moment he saw him use his stand-in technique.

Shikamaru shook his head and didn't speak, he himself had mastered the stand-in technique and the transformation technique, and the doppelganger technique was meaningless because it could only create a controllable virtual body clone, non-entity.

Most of his energy was spent on cultivating the family's secret arts, because his father told him that he could learn shadow clones in the future.

But the three-body technique of this introduction is actually not simple.

How long has Naruto only been practicing until now, and the information he got from the three generations of Hokage is very clear, Naruto clearly only got the ninjutsu scroll last night.

And Naruto hadn't been mentored by anyone.

"Let's go, didn't you say that you want to introduce a friend to me today?" Naruto saw that Shikamaru didn't speak, and his eyes flashed and he reminded him.

A tangled look flashed on Shikamaru's face and said, "It's okay to go to him, but do you have any money with you?" ”

"Money?" Naruto's eyes showed a bit of playfulness and said, "You can buy friends with money?" ”

"Absolutely not!" Shikamaru's face was straight, and then he said with a painful look, "He just likes to eat, I'm afraid that the money he brings with him is not enough....."

Naruto's heart moved, it turned out that Shikamaru was talking about Dingji.

Because the mirror world needs to collect data, he is also ready to get to know more people.

Especially the characters related to the plot of the Hokage, he wanted to see if he could confirm some of his conjectures about the laws of collecting data in the mirror world.

Ding Ji is one of the twelve powerhouses of Konoha.

Naruto's mind flashed about the plot about Dingji and said, "It's a must to go out and bring money outside, let's go, I'm interested in this friend....."

Early this morning, Naruto had just walked to the first floor after breakfast, and found that Moonlight Blaste was standing incognito next to the chair he had sat on last night, and on the chair was the ninjutsu scroll that the three generations of Hokage had given him last night.

Naruto walked to the chair with a natural expression and picked up the scroll, and in front of the moonlight blast, he sat on the chair and carefully looked at the stand-in and doppelganger techniques on the scroll several times.

He pretended to be very laborious in the room to practice the doppelganger technique, and deliberately failed many times during this period, and it was not until after lunch that he successfully performed a doppelganger technique.

At this time, he muttered a sentence that he was going to find Shikamaru, and the Moonlight Storm immediately left quietly.

The Nine Lamas and Bo Feng Shuimen in the sealing space were a little puzzled, why did they say in front of the moonlight blast to find Shikamaru.

Naruto explained that he was giving the three Hokage the initiative to arrange for Shikamaru to appear in front of him at the right time and place.

Otherwise, where would I find Shikamaru?

He hadn't been to the Nara clan, but he had the patience to inquire all the way.

But the three generations of Hokage may not have this patience.

He just gave the three generations of Hokage a chance to make a convenient arrangement, and only if they let them arrange it, Shikamaru would take the initiative to come to him.

Sure enough, as Naruto expected, he soon met Shikamaru.

Naruto had just reached the door of the Shinobi Mandodo when Shikamaru spotted him at the intersection, and Moonlight Blast followed him stealthily.

Because he walked around the village with his real body yesterday, Naruto didn't use the transformation technique when he went out today, although it made him gain a lot of headwinds along the way.

Besides, how did Shikamaru greet himself after using the transformation technique.

After meeting Shikamaru, Naruto said that he wanted to try his skills, and Shikamaru readily agreed, and the two went directly to the woods where they met for the first time.

However, when they first met, Shikamaru said that he wanted to introduce him to a new friend, but he never saw a figure, and he thought that it was another three generations of Hokage who had arranged a candidate for him and was waiting.

~~~~~~~~

Hokage's office.

"Are you sure Naruto has mastered the doppelganger and stand-in techniques?"

The three Hokages sat in their chairs and asked with a solemn expression towards the Moonlight Blast.

Moonlight Blaster took out a small notebook and flipped it over, and replied with a serious face: "Yes, but the target was a little unsuccessful when performing the doppelganger technique, and the frequency of ninjutsu failures is very high, but the stand-in technique was successfully performed at one time in the sparring with Shikamaru."

It seems that the Five Elements Seal has worked, things are going well, and Naruto is no longer able to control Chakra very well.

The three generations of Hokage, who thought of this, nodded when they heard this, and then he asked again, "Shikamaru offered to take Naruto to meet new friends, and he didn't refuse?" ”

"Nope!" Moonlight Blizzle turned the page to the small book in his hand and said, "When the target heard that he wanted to get to know other people, he showed some anticipation."

"Huh?" The three generations of Hokage stared, and after thinking for a moment, he ordered, "You go back immediately and continue to monitor!" ”

Something is wrong.

Naruto's temperament after he fell into a coma seemed to be a little different from before.

However, Ren Zhuli is willing to bond with the people in the village, which he is happy to see.....

~~~~~~~~

"Hello, I'm Ding Ci"

After leaving the woods, Shikamaru took Naruto straight to the door of the snack shop, and immediately found Akido Dingji.

A little fat man who looked stunned, wearing a white T-shirt and a food word printed on his chest.

"Hello, I heard Shikamaru say that you like to eat potato chips"

Naruto took out a bunch of snacks in both hands and handed them to Dingji.

"Uh-huh!" Akido Dingji's eyes lit up, and he directly took all the snacks handed over by Naruto in his arms with both hands and began to unpack them, and under Naruto's slightly surprised gaze, his mouth quickly wiped out packs of snacks after packets.

A look of embarrassment flashed on Shikamaru's face, and Ding Ji was tempted by snacks so easily, which made him worry that Naruto had an opinion of Ding Ji.

"Thank you!" After eating the last packet of potato chips, Ding Ji put his hands on Naruto's shoulders and said with an enthusiastic face, "You are Shikamaru's friend, that is my friend!" ”

'Start collecting data....'

The moment the voice appeared in his head, Naruto slapped one hand on Ding Ji's arm, and sure enough, he could collect data from Ding Ji.

'Data collection complete... The current data completeness is 8%, please complete the data as soon as possible! ’

"Well, I'm Naruto Uzumaki, and I'm so happy to meet you!"

The expression on Naruto's face as he spoke was extremely sincere.

~~~~~~~~

In the dark night, Naruto was sitting on the bed at this time studying the changes in the mirror world after updating the data, and the result was almost the same as before, and he estimated that the data was too complete.

But he is almost certain that the object of the data collected by the mirror world has a lot to do with the characters he is familiar with.

But there is a question he is very puzzled about, the three generations of Hokage are also characters with a lot of plot weight in the Hokage, how can data not be collected from him.

"Naruto, are you so different today from usual that you're not afraid of arousing the suspicions of the three generations?"

Just as Naruto was pondering, the words of the wave wind and water gate sounded in the spirit world.

As soon as Naruto's consciousness shifted to the side of the sealing space, he looked at his father calmly and said, "Oh? Father, do you think I'm a little abnormal? ”

Bo Feng Shuimen said with a complicated expression: "I just think you have become a little positive today, and I'm afraid that the three generations will treat you again..."

"Change is a positive thing in itself, I just control myself to change in a favorable direction, and there will be more and more such changes in the future"

"As for the three generations"

Naruto's gaze had become dangerous as he said this.

"I believe that the three generations of Hokage who monitored me in real time will soon be able to find a reasonable explanation for myself"

"I just suddenly expanded my circle of friends"

"Isn't that what he wanted?"
