As Naruto moves quickly with an ugly face, the camera also pans to the most iconic Hokage office building in the Konoha Ninja Village. And then after Naruto's figure just appeared in the secret room of the Hokage's office, he didn't even have time to take a breather, so he quickly ran towards the exit of the secret room, and went straight to the Hokage's office, and without knowing it, the three generations of Hokage were reading the official documents as usual.

"Huh? Oh, it's Naruto, do you want to come to Grandpa's trouble again? Little trickster~"

And out of the corner of his eye, seeing Naruto's figure, the moment he suddenly appeared from the hidden secret door in the wall, the Miyome Hokage's eyes only widened slightly, and he teased Naruto unhurriedly with that pampering and teasing tone. With a natural wave of his hand, he motioned to the ninja guards standing next to him to leave the office for the time being. And then after the guards left the office and closed the door of the office from the outside, leaving only the three generations of Hokage and Naruto in the office, the three generations of Hokage asked word by word while their faces suddenly became serious.

"It's a lot earlier than the scheduled return time...... Is something wrong? ”

Between the words, out of understanding Naruto, the three generations of Hokage were enough to know that Naruto's child must have encountered something terrible from the fact that Naruto not only returned to the village ahead of schedule, but even from the secret room where it was built, which was only responsible for emergency communication. And when he asked out loud, the three generations of Hokage stood up directly and walked to the old armor hanging on the side, obviously intending to take advantage of the time to listen to Naruto's story, so that he could be in the best state to be able to devote himself to the battle anytime and anywhere.

"Whew...... Call...... Whew......"

Because after experiencing the invasion of the art duo, Naruto, who had not yet been fully rested, first created a shadow clone to disperse the number of chakras in his body, and then used the Flying Thunder God technique to directly teleport back to the village remotely at the fastest speed, even Naruto, who had a huge number of chakras, couldn't help but feel a little tired. Immediately, after taking several deep breaths in succession, and after slightly suppressing and returning the pounding heart rate to a normal level, Naruto strode closer to the side of the three Hokage, and asked directly in a loud voice.

"Grandpa Hiza, do you know where Uncle Asma is now?"

"Huh? Asma...... His words, this morning, submitted a petition to me to leave the village. said that he wanted to find an old friend to help exercise the actual combat ability of his three students. ”

Of course, he had already spoiled Naruto on weekdays, and from Naruto's reaction, he knew that the development of the situation might be far more serious than he imagined, so that the three generations of Hokage did not intend to blame Naruto's rudeness. Instead frowning and whispering, after a little echo, he responded to Naruto's question in as simple and clear terms as possible.

"What's the matter, Naruto, rushing back in such a hurry just to ask Asma's whereabouts...... Could it be that this stinky boy has caused you some trouble? ”

Between the words, because in Naruto's childhood, he was restrained by the elder group led by Danzang and failed to take good care of Naruto, so that even today, Naruto, who has been burdened with humiliation for so long and has never blackened half a point, has a deep guilt. So much so that in the case of treating Naruto as closer than his own grandson, naturally, according to Naruto's words, he instantly misunderstood Asma, who submitted an application to leave the village today, could it be that he offended Naruto somewhere, and planned to take advantage of Naruto's outing opportunity to flee quickly. Then subconsciously, while preparing to speak out to appease Naruto's emotions, he sent his henchmen to find Asma's whereabouts, so that he could return to the village immediately to apologize to Naruto.

"Grandpa Hizai, what did you just say? Uncle Asma, he's already left the Konoha Ninja Village, and he's not in the village anymore?! ”

It's a pity that the answer of the third Hokage is tantamount to a bolt from the blue for Naruto! So much so that while calming down a little bit of the heartbeat rate and speeding up again, Naruto, who didn't care about what the third Hokage said in the second half of his words, shouted loudly with deep annoyance and uneasiness while holding his head in his hands.

"Get an old friend to help you...... Finished! No matter how you think about it, you're going to find land in the Temple of Fire! This is a bit too much of a coincidence! I've used the Flying Thunder God Technique to hurry, and I'm still one step too late?! ”

Obviously, the "old friend" who needs Asma to leave the village and find is naturally the only one who has been with Asma and is responsible for protecting the safety of the Daimyo of the Fire Nation. And in Konoha Village and the Temple of Fire, there is still a certain distance apart, which makes Naruto deeply worried......

Asma, who is now heading towards the Temple of Fire, will it be like the original plot to bump into the undead duo who are holding the corpse of the land and going to the bounty to exchange for money, and then receive the lunch? !

What's even worse is that just when Naruto was about to disarm the shadow clone and recover the chakra back to the body of the main body, so that with the help of the teleportation mark placed on Asma's body in advance during the three-year training period, lock Asma's current location, activate the Flying Thunder God Technique, and forcibly bring him back to Konoha Ninja Village to ensure his life. Those scattered shadow clones, but no more, no less, just at this juncture, according to Naruto's original thoughts, used the Flying Thunder God Technique to teleport Kakashi and the others back to Konoha Ninja Village at the same time! So much so that after these shadow clones were lifted by themselves because of the excessive consumption of chakra, Naruto, who did not get enough rest and failed to recover enough chakra from the shadow clones, had to usher in a very cruel reality......

That is, if you want to continue to use the Flying Thunder God technique to perform high-intensity and fast movement like before, you must first experience a day's recovery time! Even if you don't care about the burden on your body, relying on the supply method of constantly stuffing the soldier food pills into your mouth like jelly beans, it still takes about a few hours!

And according to the three generations of Hokage, if Asma had left the village in the morning and had obtained permission to leave the village, he would have set off for the Fire Temple...... Then, after this coming-and-going, there is already a short time difference between Naruto, and if you calculate it according to the worst-case scenario......

Then, if Naruto chooses and waits dryly for himself to recover, I'm afraid that when Naruto leaves and finds Asma, he can only be like the Pig Deer Butterfly Squad, powerlessly going to collect his body!

"Tsk, I don't have that kung fu anymore, do you have to worry about the problem of hole card exposure...... Hey, Nine Lamas! Don't sleep, something is wrong! Lend me your power! ”

Thinking of this, Naruto, who was worried about Asma's life being threatened, obviously couldn't give himself so much rest. So much so that between his teeth, Naruto, who didn't have time to explain the reason in detail to the three generations of Hokage, met the unclear eyes of the three generations of Hokage, and while distracted, he quickly got in touch with the nine lamas in his body. As he turned his body and ran towards the gate, he relied on the tailed beast chakra passed by the Nine Lamas, and his figure appeared with dots of golden light. Eventually, it covered the whole body and turned into a gorgeous golden robe. And then wait until Naruto's form opens the closed office door and rushes out non-stop. The guards who stayed at the door only had time to see a faint golden light in an exclamation, and the "illusion" of flying away from the office in a burst of exclamation!

"Huh...... It's really rare to see such an anxious look...... Without any spatial fluctuations, purely at your own speed? It seems that Naruto's strength has really improved a lot......"

And when Naruto did not hesitate to borrow the power of the Nine Lamas's tailed beasts to help him speed up Chakra's recovery, and at the same time, in the short time when he was still unable to use the Flying Thunder God Technique, he moved as close as possible to the direction of the Temple of Fire, trying to find Asma's figure in advance. Naruto couldn't help but say it, and the three generations of Hokage, who were left alone in the office, watched all this in amazement while the armor was fully dressed. Immediately, with his old bones, it was obvious that he couldn't catch up with Naruto's current speed, which made the three generations of Hokage couldn't help but raise his hand to support his forehead with a smile on his face, and muttered to himself with a puzzled face.

"But, then again, since the situation is urgent......"

"Why did you come to see Grandpa a second time and ask Grandpa to answer yourself like that?"

……

After being awakened by Naruto and subconsciously lending his power to Naruto, when the Nine Lamas, who were sleeping in a daze, gently rubbed his sleepy eyes and completely woke up, he found that Naruto's figure had already rushed out of the gate of Konoha Ninja Village in such a short period of time.

"Hey, little ghost, what's going on to make you so anxious?"

And under Naruto's action of rushing out of the gate of the Konoha Ninja Village, but only slightly identifying the direction, he ran at full speed again, making the Nine Lamas quickly realize that this little imp who is always strategizing, even if he encounters a strong enemy, and does not easily borrow strength from himself, may really encounter some big crisis. So much so that the arrogant Nine Lamas, while echoing the words that seemed to be warnings but were actually concerned in Naruto's heart, secretly increased the indoctrination of the tailed beast Chakra, so that Naruto could have a more amazing explosive speed in a short period of time!

"Let me tell you first, with your current physical condition, forcibly borrowing my strength will not only not last too long, but after the end, you must stop and rest...... Of course, if you're not afraid of any physical accidents, and you're not afraid that you won't be able to withstand my strength, and you will die on the spot, just don't say it. ”

Between the words, although there was already a consensus between Naruto and the Nine Lamas, and as Naruto grew older, Naruto's body was able to further adapt to the powerful energy of the Tailed Beast's power......

But in order to pretend to be forced, Naruto used 1,980 shadow clones to deal with the Red Sand Scorpion's 100-machine drill, and a lot of chakra and energy were squandered in vain. Then he used the technique of the Flying Thunder God to directly teleport all the members back to the Konoha Ninja Village over a long distance, so that Naruto, who seemed to be no different from usual on the surface, actually not only did Chakra need time to recover, but even with mental power, he also needed more adequate sleep to fully replenish it! So much so that even if the Nine Lama's Tailed Beast Chakra is still in full condition, according to Naruto's current physical condition, he is not allowed to borrow the power of the Tailed Beast for a long time!

Among them, the most critical factor is that Naruto pretended to be overdone, resulting in his current body not having time to recover to its heyday.

After all, although Naruto was able to rely on the characteristics of the shadow clones that he had never interrupted since he was a child to "brush up on experience", he could withstand the pressure on the ontological mind when the shadow clones were disarmed, and at the same time feedback memories to the ontological body, so that he would not fall into a dangerous situation of mental disorder or even direct consciousness collapse as warned in the Book of Seals.

But this does not mean that in this process, because of being in battle, Naruto's mental power that needs to be processed and digested in the shortest possible time will not be consumed in large quantities! So much so that in most cases, the prince's crowd tactics were an option that Naruto deliberately avoided! Even in the process of ordinary practice, Naruto did not remove all the shadow clones at once, but according to the time of the shadow clones' existence, they were lifted one by one in batches and amounts, so as to minimize the impact of the high-intensity cultivation method of "brushing experience" on the body!

"I know, but the current situation doesn't allow me to recover slowly......"

Because of this, after knowing that this embarrassing situation was all caused by his pretending behavior out of complacency, Naruto's current mood, although he was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot, could only knock out his teeth and swallow it in his stomach, bearing the adverse effects of what he had done. And while secretly making up his mind that he would never easily slap a swollen face and become fat unless necessary in the future, he muttered to himself, ignoring the warning of the Nine Lamas, and attached all the tailed beast chakras he had just obtained to the soles of his feet, and once again accelerated his speed!

"Leave me alone, just lend me your chakra, Nine Lamas...... Before the worst happens, I can't afford to delay a minute! ”

It's just that when he was running at full speed, Naruto's figure quickly approached in the direction of the Temple of Fire. Naruto, who was so anxious that he was out of proportion, ignored a very important detail in this hurry......

That is, the reason why Asma applied to leave the village was to find an old friend to help the Pig Deer Butterfly Team and improve their actual combat ability......

But if you think about it carefully, among the people Asma knows, who can be as effective as a sparring partner compared to Jiraiya, who accepted Naruto's invitation and specially guided him during the three-year penance, and even the five perfect people who were also invited to Myoki Mountain? What's more, how can the effect of a sparring partner who keeps hands everywhere compare to a real battle between real swords and real guns, gambling each other's lives?

In other words, if Asma really wants the Pig Deer Butterfly Team to improve their actual combat ability......

Wouldn't it be more effective to accept difficult assignments?
