Chapter XVI. Hokage-sama asked me to be friends with you
"Shikamaru, I can't help it, this task Hokage-sama thinks that only you can complete it, you have also read Naruto's information, although he is a human pillar force, but he has never hurt anyone in the past few years, and there should be no danger, so ....."
"Alas~ Father, I'm not worried about this, it's just that I want to tell you that this is a task that is destined to be impossible"
At this time, it was already night, and after the three generations of Hokage and them repeatedly studied the plan to contact Naruto in the office, Shikaku and his son Shikamaru had just left the Hokage's office and returned home.
The two of them sat on the tatami mats with sad faces, and although Shikaku was comforting his son, his face was much more ugly than Shikamaru.
"Huh?" Lu Jiu heard his son say this, and wondered: "Why are you so sure that the mission will fail?"
Shikamaru shook his head and closed his eyes, first stretching his arms, then putting his hands together in a strange pose.
"100% will fail!"
"You've never been in contact with Naruto, why are you so sure?"
Lu Jiu watched his son close his eyes, and after his face was unusually calm and said the conclusion of his thinking, the worry on his face gradually turned solemn.
He knew it was his son's thoughtful answer, but he wanted to know why.
Otherwise, it will be difficult to explain to the three generations of Hokage at that time, and their position in Konoha is the shadow of the Hokage, a cronie, and a military advisor.
And you must know that their Nara clan has been promoted and cared for a lot since the third generation became the Hokage, and the family's status in the village has been steadily improved.
"Take a closer look" Shikamaru opened his eyes and fumbled through his clothes and said, "These two photos are Naruto's first appearance at the age of 3 and the last photo taken by Naruto-sama"
"The photos are all about him"
"The three-year-old one was taken when he was surrounded by people on the street and abused and discussed, and the most recent one was taken when he sent Miss Hinata home, you can see the expression on his face, especially the eyes."
Lu Jiu took the photo handed out by his son, looked at it repeatedly for a long time and frowned, "Is there something wrong?" There doesn't seem to be any difference in the eyes..."
"That's right! It just doesn't make any difference! Shikamaru replied categorically, and then he pointed to the photo in his father's hand and continued, "Father, from the first photo, you can know that Naruto was standing alone against everyone at that time, but I can't see any fear, hatred, and desire to escape from his eyes in the photo."
"If a person stands on the opposite side of everyone, even adults will find it scary, but the Naruto expression I saw in the photo is so calm, if I were a child, I would have been scared to cry."
"There was no emotion in Naruto's eyes other than indifference, which made me feel more like Naruto himself had isolated everyone"
Hearing this, Lu didn't speak for a long time, staring at the first photo with a solemn gaze, and after a while, he slowly spoke: "What did you see in the second photo?"
Shikamaru stood up from the tatami mat with his hands propped up and said, "Generally speaking, the eyes are the windows to the soul, and the expression can judge the most real mental activity of a person at a certain moment."
"But father, if you look closely, although Naruto is smiling in the photo, his eyes have never changed, you just noticed it immediately, his eyes are the same dead and indifferent in both photos, without the slightest emotion"
"Have you ever seen a look like that?"
"And Miss Hinata in the second photo can be said to have the best chance of becoming friends with Naruto, but father, you have seen the information, he didn't even say his name after sending Miss Hinata home"
While listening to his son's analysis, Shikaku's eyes were staring at Naruto who was smiling in the photo, looking at those azure eyes and familiar hair color, a hint of nostalgia appeared on his face, and he let out a long sigh after a long time.
"Alas, Shikamaru, it seems to be really troublesome now....."
~~~~~~~~~
Half a month passed quickly.
Early that morning, Naruto was walking alone on a path by a small river, and it wasn't long before a dense forest appeared in front of Naruto, silent as if it were a natural green barrier.
Since he met the Uchiha Shisui that day, he has not gone to the Uchiha clan again, the Uchiha clan and the Konoha high-level leaders led by the three generations are already like fire and water, and the goal is too big to go.
This time, the woods were a place where his father, Bo Feng Shuimen, gave him guidance, and he came here today to set up a practice ground for himself.
"This is the coat of arms of the Nara clan?"
Naruto had just crossed a main road when he saw a stone tablet standing on a slope with the family crest of the Nara clan clearly engraved on it.
"Yes, Naruto, there won't be any ferocious beasts in this forest, only the Nara clan has domesticated a herd of docile deer used to harvest antlers, but they won't be coming at this time"
Bo Feng Shui Men explained in the sealed space.
"I've heard that the people of the Nara clan are very smart and have extremely high IQs?"
"That's the way it is, it's just that I used to be the Hokage for too short a time, and I didn't have much contact with their clan,"
Naruto thought for a while and walked into the woods, and after finding a clearing, Naruto sat down on the ground, and his consciousness immediately descended on the side of the sealed space, and then Bo Feng Shuimen and Naruto's fists touched together.
Bo Feng Shuimon was passing on his introductory skills of practicing the Flying Thunder God to Naruto through the Chakra of the Nine Lamas.
He finally agreed to teach Naruto to practice the Flying Thunder God technique!
~~~~~~~
Hokage's office.
"Huh! I didn't expect Naruto to appear in this forest of your Nara clan by such a coincidence."
The three generations of Hokage looked at the crystal ball and said with a smile.
Shikamaru in front of his desk was also very surprised, and he had recently been a little broken down in order to find a suitable opportunity to contact Naruto.
Mainly because Naruto has been out once a day since he came home from his injury that day, and the time and place of going out are not fixed.
This made Shikamaru rack his brains many times and come up with a chance encounter plan that went bankrupt.
Just now he was playing shogi with his father at home, when a dark part suddenly appeared and called him over without saying a word.
"Hokage-sama, do you mean I'll go now?"
Shikamaru asked, looking at the smiling Hokage.
"Shikamaru, you must know that this is a rare opportunity, Naruto may not go to your clan land tomorrow" The face of the three generations of Hokage immediately returned to his majesty, and his gaze was a little compelling.
"I'll go right away"
Shikamaru's heart sank, and he could tell that the three generations of Hokage were a little dissatisfied.
~~~~~~~~
"Naruto, these are the key points of the Flying Thunder God, in fact, the entry stage of the Flying Thunder God is not difficult for you, in the past, my three guards were only able to get started when they got a little bit of my cultivation experience"
"Hmm.. The three of them have also cultivated the Flying Thunder God Technique? ”
Naruto felt strange when he heard this, and in the anime he clearly saw that the three of them could only cooperate with each other to barely use the Flying Thunder God technique.
"Well, no, they just understood the introduction, and they didn't cultivate independently, because their independent perception accuracy was not enough, and they could only use the Flying Thunder Array technique developed by three people if they cooperated, and after the end of the Third Ninja War, I began to learn to deal with the government affairs of the village under the arrangement of the three generations, and there was no way to find time to guide him in this regard."
After Bo Feng Shuimen said this, his eyes first looked at the Nine Lamas who were lying on the side, and then continued: "Later, because your mother was pregnant, she was always busy when she became the Hokage, and then it happened five years ago..."
Hearing this, the Nine Lamas opened their eyes, and their crimson pupils flashed with a hint of fierceness.
The fourth Hokage mentioned five years ago, which directly reminded it of the mysterious man with the kaleidoscope writing wheel eye, which was a very unpleasant memory.
Naruto saw the unhappiness in the eyes of the Nine Lamas, and hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Okay father, I'm just going to make sure if they have a complete Flying Thunder God, you don't have to explain so much"
Bo Feng Shuimen smiled slightly awkwardly: "Oh, I thought you had any other plans..."
Naruto in the sealed space didn't see his father's embarrassment, and he was silently thinking about how to avoid surveillance, especially the surveillance of the telescope technique of the three generations of Hokage.
Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to practice the Flying Thunder God technique with peace of mind.
Although no one is following him now, as long as the crystal ball is there, the three generations have the possibility of peeking into their secrets at any time.
After a moment, Naruto casually asked, "Father, are you sure that there is only one crystal ball in the office of the three generations of Hokage?" ”
"It's only one" Bo Feng Shuimen subconsciously replied, but he immediately reacted and said, "Naruto, are you trying to destroy that crystal ball?" ”
Naruto spoke calmly, "I'm planning and thinking about the possibility of this thing succeeding, or do you agree with them watching my life like this, father?" ”
Bo Feng Shuimen's eyes widened, and then his head immediately shook like a rattle.
"Gotta plan this well, or else... Well? This guy is coming towards me? ”
While Naruto was pondering, he suddenly sensed a chakra out of the center of the village and set foot directly on the path leading to the forest.
The path by the creek had led straight to the green barrier, and this man had sensed that he had come from the office of the three Hokages in the first place, and had been walking on this path for some time now.
"Naruto, is someone coming?"
"It may or may not be, but it's certain that this person is from the Hokage's office"
The wave in the sealing space was speechless.
Just now when it comes to the issue of surveillance, these three generations of Hokage immediately responded.....
At this time, it was Shikamaru who rushed to Naruto's side.
As he got closer and closer to his destination, Shikamaru's heart sank deeper and deeper.
Just now, when he went out, the three generations of Hokage emphasized again that he was not sending a mission to Shikamaru, nor was he asking Shikamaru to be a spy.
He asked Shikamaru to be friends with Naruto, so that he could understand Naruto's thoughts on the basis of gaining Naruto's trust.
Then report back to him regularly!
Thinking of this, a hint of self-deprecation flashed in Shikamaru's eyes.
Isn't that a spy?
So what does it mean to be a spy!
Did the three generations of Hokage really not understand the definition of a friend, or did they not know what it was like to trust?
If he really did what the three generations of Hokage asked, would it be possible for his own generation to make friends?
Do you still have the heart to make friends?
Thinking of this, a chubby shadow flashed through Shikamaru's mind.
How important friends are, Ding Ci that guy has already told him.
Since Hokage-sama told me to be friends with Naruto, then he will be my true friend!
After confirming the true determination in his heart, Shikamaru felt that his steps on the road were extremely easy, and soon he walked into the woods, and after a few laps in the woods, he actually saw Naruto for the first time, according to the position he had seen in the crystal ball before.
Naruto, who was sitting on the stone, had been waiting, and as soon as Shikamaru came into his field of vision, he recognized it.
Obviously, Shikamaru came by himself.
Because he saw that Shikamaru had just found himself, he strode towards his position.
When he saw Shikamaru walking in front of him with a lazy look, he hadn't spoken, but Shikamaru's whole expression immediately became extremely serious.
"Hello, my name is Nara Shikamaru, Hokage-sama, he asked me to come over and be friends with you!"
