In the quiet mountain forest, a figure shuttled quickly, and fled into the distance without stopping.

If you look closer, you will find that this figure is very different from a normal person in terms of dress and form.

He has short dark red hair, a dark brown complexion, and two furrows on the left and right corners of his cheeks, which can open in an exaggerated arc.

That's right, this is the Red Sand Scorpion that escaped with the help of a puppet!

After running for an unknown distance, the scorpion finally stopped and slammed his fist into the trunk of a tree beside him.

The trunk of the tree trembled, the green leaves rattled, and he wanted to vent the unrest in his heart to the outside world, but he failed in the end.

"That dead old woman!"

Looking behind him without any fluctuations, the scorpion gritted his teeth, even if he was already a puppet, but the real core could never be as emotionless as a puppet.

"Until now, she is still so naïve that she saved me at the cost of her own life......"

The scorpion didn't know what to say about the old woman, so he stopped for a while, and then continued to retreat into the distance.

As he walked away, he finally looked at his other hand, which contained a strange and familiar scroll.

Strange because it is too old, familiar because the puppet sealed in this scroll is the first work he made when he was a child, called "Father" and "Mother".

Because of this scroll, because of the dead old woman, his lonely puppet heart could no longer maintain its previous state, and became full of contradictions.

Although he was running on the way, he always had a feeling of confusion, the ninja world was so big, where could he go?

Xiao organized him and decided not to return, because the existence of the day was too dangerous, and the Sand Ninja Village, where he was born, had already put his name on the wanted list of the ninja world in his early years, so there was no place for him in any country.

Confused, confused, he opened the scroll in his hand, and the "father" and "mother" appeared, walked towards him, and held him in his arms.

……

It's been a week since the Kazekage Rescue Battle.

Returning from the Land of Wind, Naruto Uzumaki and his party returned to the Konoha Ninja Village, which has always been shrouded in peace.

On this day, the sky was clear, and on the Yan Rock north of Konoha, there were two figures sitting on the tips of the hair of the four generations of Hokage.

There was a man in front of him, his golden hair swaying slightly in the wind, his eyes looking at the village below, his eyes were unfocused, obviously thinking about something.

And behind him, the big barrel Mu Dixi sat cross-legged with a light face.

The two stayed like this, and I don't know how long it took, but finally, the big barrel Mu Dixi spoke, breaking the tranquility of this place.

"Naruto ......"

It took a moment for Naruto Uzumaki to react, and he turned his head away, "Huh? ”

"I'm sorry, I didn't save you and your companions in advance in your battle with the sun this time."

“……”

Naruto Uzumaki raised his eyes and looked at the sky, "Just one day, it almost wiped out our entire army. Dixi, how strong are the people in your world? ”

"It's hard to say, because the energy of this world is not the same as the energy of our world, and there is no corresponding reference in this world, but if you have to say it, the difference between us and you is like the difference between a ninja and an ordinary person."

Di Xi looked at him and continued, "But Naruto, you don't have to be discouraged. Although I don't know what adventures you have, the strength in your body is not weaker than ours, and if you continue to cultivate, you will not be weaker than us. ”

Dixi's comfort did not reassure Naruto, and after this battle, his whole heart was like being weighed down by a boulder, and he could never be at peace.

Because the enemy is too strong, and the opponent's strength does not seem to be at its peak.

However, just here worrying and lamenting, the truth will never be reversed, Naruto knew this, so he decided that he must seize all the time to cultivate in the coming days.

Complete the cultivation of the immortal body as soon as possible, and create a new technique early!

In this battle, the powerful Wind Escape and Amaterasu's attacks did nothing against the invincible body of the day, and for the sake of the future, he could only create a new technique, hoping to break the defense of the day. But what art should be created? For a moment, he really had no clue.

Seeing that Naruto was once again lost in thought, a smile appeared on the corner of Di Xi's mouth, the appearance of the day was indeed unexpected by him, but he believed that Naruto would defeat him sooner or later.

The sky was sprinkled with a large area of brilliant sunshine, but suddenly at a certain moment, the sunlight was completely blocked, and the sunny day was reversed, as if it had turned into night.

All the people in Konoha Village stopped what they were doing and subconsciously looked into the air.

"It's ......"

Kakashi had just walked out of the Hokage's office and frowned as he watched the sky change.

"Eclipse?"

The originally cloudless sky seemed to have a curtain closed, only to see a huge black shadow blocking the sun, plunging the ninja world into a brief darkness.

On the Hokage Yan Rock, Naruto Uzumaki and Emperor Xi also naturally discovered the anomaly in the sky.

Naruto Uzumaki straightened up, a faint premonition in his heart, while the big barrel wood emperor Xi narrowed his eyes slightly, his perfect white eyes seemed to be able to see what was happening in the distant sky through space.

"That's right, it's an eclipse." He came to a conclusion.

In this way, in the uneasiness of the world, time passed quietly, and after about half an hour, the sun shone again, and the world finally returned to brightness.

They looked at the sky and saw strange flowing clouds.

Layers of clouds are like scales on the body of a fish, arranged in a ring in all directions of the sky, but the central area is clean.

No one knows what the situation is about the strange celestial phenomenon, but in the following days, the countries of the ninja world have noticed some changes.

For example, the tide in the sea is early, for example, there are meteorites falling in some places, and so on......

Hinata had just finished her mission and as soon as she returned to the village, she received the news of Naruto's return.

After tidying up her appearance, she ran towards where Naruto was, full of joy.

However, the moment she saw Naruto, she noticed Naruto's change, the one who liked him, seemed to be always distracted, and after a while, he would fall into silence with a preoccupied look.

"Naruto-kun ......"

Her beautiful eyelashes fluttered and blinked, Hinata thought for a moment, and suddenly said, "It's been a long time since we graduated, so why don't we go to a ninja school." ”

“…… Good. ”

Naruto Uzumaki followed behind the girl, finally releasing a little bit of energy.

"Can't be distracted in front of Hinata!" He told himself secretly.

So, the two of them walked along the familiar streets of Konoha and walked towards the ninja school step by step.

On the way, the girl took Naruto's hand, and she liked the warmth of her palm, just like a sunflower likes the sun.
