The sun shines on the streets of Konoha Village, and the pedestrians walk around in twos and threes, always giving people a sense of calm and leisure.

Several figures walked back to Konoha Village from the forest outside the village, and it was Naruto Uzumaki and his party.

Originally, he and Hinata could have practiced outside the forest for a whole day, after all, Hinata had prepared enough delicious bento to eat for a day. However, due to the intervention of Ninji and Xiao Li, it only took a few teenagers who were growing their bodies to completely solve the love food that gentle Hinata had prepared for Naruto.

Such a result naturally made Naruto unhappy, so much so that now he glanced at the two guys behind him with hateful eyes from time to time.

Next to him, Hinata was holding slender white hands behind her back, a pair of beautiful eyes looked sideways at his expression, and a shallow smile appeared on her cheeks that were more and more blown. I don't know why, but in her heart, she thinks that Naruto's rare appearance is actually very cute.

Behind him, Xiao Li's nose was blue and his face was swollen, and Ning Ci was no better. The reason why this happened was because Xiao Li later woke up and burst out of the small universe, and fought with Ning Ci for hundreds of rounds before stopping the boiling youth in his body.

The two of them obviously looked unhappy with each other, but they just put their arms around each other and supported each other, which made Naruto Uzumaki hateful and secretly envious at the same time. Once upon a time, he and Sasuke were like that, but that was a long, long time ago.

"Yo, Naruto!"

Suddenly, a familiar voice came from ahead, attracting the attention of several people, and their eyes suddenly moved forward.

"Shikamaru?" Naruto Uzumaki was stunned for a moment, "And Ino and Dingji, are you going on another mission?" ”

Two years of growth have also made these three people change a lot.

Shikamaru, who was unusually smart, folded his hands behind his head, and the expression on his face was no longer disgusted and troublesome. And Autumn Dao Dingci has become taller and plump, and the only thing that remains unchanged is the foodie attribute that can't be changed. As for the only beautiful woman among the three, Ino Yamanaka, who has changed the most.

A brilliant long golden hair is tied into a playful ponytail, and her sweet appearance is a little charming, as for the figure, the long legs of the white flowers are dazzling, and the considerable size on the chest is full of feminine charm.

Her bright eyes glanced at Naruto Uzumaki, revealing a glimmer of light, but when she saw that her temperament, identity, and figure had completely exploded her Hinata, she felt a little powerless in her heart.

Ino has always been secretly competing with Sakura, but never with Hinata, because she knows the difference between the two.

Her behavior is a little abnormal, not because she has a discordant relationship with her sisters of the same class, on the contrary, they get along very well with a group of young girls, just like the passionate love between teenagers. It's just that women, even if they are very good friends, are inevitably comparative.

"That's right, we got a mission, and we're about to go." Shikamaru responded.

"What task?"

"Uh......" Shikamaru thought for a moment, feeling that he couldn't tell the truth in front of Naruto, after all, the fifth Hokage had specially ordered it, "There is a situation in the Fire Temple, and our class is ready to go to support." ”

Witty, he didn't say anything about the attack of the two of them, but only revealed that the Temple of Fire was in trouble, because he was afraid that Naruto would find a clue from the topic.

But how could these things be hidden from Naruto? He is the rebirth of the seventh generation of Hokage, how could he not know the events that would happen in his previous life.

Sure enough, as soon as Shikamaru's words fell, Naruto Uzumaki's expression froze, and his azure eyes swept over the faces of the Pig Deer Butterfly trio, faintly revealing an inexplicable meaning.

All the tragedies and growth in the previous life probably began to happen at this time, after the Fire Temple incident, Akatsuki's undead duo attacked and killed the master of the three Shikamaru - Sarufei Asma.

Next, the lustful fairy leaves Konoha for Rain Ninja Village, where he is killed by his senior brother Nagato.

Then, Sasuke and Itachi fought a decisive battle, and the deep love and hatred between the two brothers were gradually washed out by the pouring rain, and the truth of the year was restored.

At that time, Shikamaru, Naruto, and Sasuke all had to work hard to grow up because of the death of their most important person, and their mood completely broke away from their youth and became calm.

In this life, Naruto came to prevent all the tragedies, and the incident between Sasuke and Itachi was perfectly resolved, but he has not changed the death of Master Jiraiya and Master Shikamaru.

Now, having finally come to this point again, Naruto Uzumaki took a deep breath and made his expression natural.

The three pigs, deer and butterflies in front of them are still full of confidence and cheerfulness and the innocence of a teenager, which is an expression that has not experienced grief.

Although I don't know if it's right or wrong to do this, now that he knows that the incident will happen, Naruto Uzumaki will naturally stop it, and he can't let the tragedy continue to happen again!

Moreover, that Uncle Asma, who had a full face and a beard, was also half of his master, and taught him the application of Wind Escape, if it weren't for him, Naruto Uzumaki's new technique Wind Escape Spiral Shuriken in his previous life would not have been completed so quickly.

Therefore, even at the expense of the growth of the three people in front of him due to grief, Naruto Uzumaki decided to save their master from Xiao's hands.

With a nonchalant expression on his face, Naruto Uzumaki stepped forward, patted Shikamaru on the shoulder, and said to the three of them, "I wish you all the best in your mission, go quickly, and don't leave Asma-sensei." ”

"Hey, hey, even if you're the strongest person in your class, you don't have to talk to us like that. We're all middle forbearance now, not lower forbearance, we don't need to rely on Teacher Asma to protect us! Shikamaru waved his hand, the look of disgust for trouble that Naruto had once seen on his face.

Naruto Uzumaki smiled when he saw this, and said in his heart: "Shikamaru, I'm not asking Asma-sensei to protect you, but asking you to protect Asma-sensei." Did you know that? ”

His mind was spinning, and when he spoke, it turned into a sentence again: "Yes, my Shikamaru military master, sooner or later one day I will become the Hokage, and the position of that military division is destined to be borne by you, don't slack off." ”

The blonde boy said words with great confidence, which made several people around him stunned, his strength and confidence came from within his body and mind, as if he was destined to make people unable to refute.

Whether it is the ruthless Ning Ji, or the hard-working Xiao Li, or Shikamaru and the others, they all have an illusion in their hearts, the position of the Hokage, as if they were born with this arrogant guy!

Stompe!

Naruto grabbed Hinata's hand, missed the Shikamaru trio, and walked towards the ramen shop in front of him.

"Ning Ci, Xiao Li, if you don't hurry up, I won't treat today's ramen."

Ahead, there were words that seemed to be heartbroken, and everyone looked at him holding the back of Miss Hinata, obviously that guy was so much stronger than them, but somehow, they just didn't have a trace of awe, but more closeness.

"Forget it, let's go first, don't let Teacher Asma wait for a long time." Shikamaru turned his head and said to the pig and butterfly behind him.

So, the two teams staggered through the quiet and peaceful street.
