The competition between Sasuke and Naruto didn't last too long, although Naruto's growth was obvious, and his strength had improved significantly, but Jiraiya was still too conservative in teaching.

The current Naruto is slightly stronger than this period of the original plot, or because before he left Konoha, he learned Wind Escape Ninjutsu when he was training with Ethan, and he has worked hard to practice ninjutsu in the past two years, and there is more tactical cooperation between the multiple shadow clones.

In addition, it is the advanced ninjutsu of the Great Jade Spiral Pill, which is a spiral pill, but it requires two shadow clones to join forces to perform it, and it loses the advantage of the rapid and convenient launch of the Spiral Pill.

Aside from the fact that Naruto had finally mastered the 'correct' Spiral Pill release, Ethan couldn't see any essential change in Naruto's strength.

"You're too conservative, Jiraiya!"

Before Jiraiya left, Ethan actually mentioned to Jiraiya that Naruto should be properly allowed to master the power of the Nine-Tails.

Obviously, Jirai didn't pay attention to his advice, or he still regarded the power of the Nine-Tails as a curse, telling Naruto to 'suppress' as much as possible, and not even using the power of the Nine-Tails.

"That force is too dangerous......"

Jirai also knew what Ethan was talking about, but he had personally felt that terrible power, and he didn't think that power could be controlled, and he was worried that once this power was released, Naruto would be swallowed by the Nine-Tails.

"No strength is absolutely safe, isn't there no danger when Naruto cultivates the Spiral Pill?"

If it weren't for Naruto's strong physique: the Uzumaki clan's innate physique was strong and matched with the particularity of the Nine-Tails' pillar strength, his kind of practice would have been useless long ago.

"It's different!"

"It's no different, if he doesn't take this step, then he will never grow into a real powerhouse. ”

Jiraiya doesn't mind this, he hopes that Naruto can grow up safely, and as for his strength, he can slowly improve or something.

"Naruto is still young......"

"Those people don't care how young he is. ”

I can't say a word, this is a real problem, Xiao has been staring at Naruto, will those people wait quietly to bring Naruto to grow?

"I'm not going to let those people get their way. ”

Ethan knew that he wasn't just talking casually, he really wanted to deal with Xiao.

After sending Naruto back to Konoha, his goal then shifted to investigating Akatsuki, and in the near future, he went to Rain Ninja Village alone to investigate Akatsuki's base camp - and finally died in Rain Ninja Village.

Just when Jiraiya and Ethan were still expressing different opinions on Naruto's progress, the results of the competition in the field had already been obtained.

Compared to Sasuke, who was forcibly promoted by Ethan, Naruto's strength was obviously not fast enough, and Sasuke could steadily suppress Naruto without even using the kaleidoscope, as long as he turned on the kaleidoscope, there was almost no suspense about winning.

This result made Sasuke a little proud, but he was repeatedly slapped in the face by Ethan, and his pride and arrogance changed a lot, and he secretly wondered if Naruto still had any hidden tricks that he hadn't come up with?

Not to mention anything else, shouldn't the legendary Nine-Tailed Pillar Force only have this strength, right? What about the power of the Tailed Beast, which is feared by countless countries?

But this is just a competition, and it is estimated that Naruto will not use that power.

Sasuke was right, in a real life-and-death fight, Naruto might be excited to release the power of the Nine-Tails, but in the competition between his own people, there is no need to use that kind of ultimate.

What's more, there were several people staring at him, and those few people would not let the competition turn into a life-and-death fight, and Kakashi asked the two to stop after seeing that it was almost there.

"Okay, after more than two years of separation, now you also have an understanding of each other's current strength. ”

The competition between the two was conducted for this reason, and after getting to know each other, it was convenient for the next team action - Tsunade was not ready to disassemble the seventh class, even if Sasuke was already a shinobi.

Because the seventh class is not only formed as a combat formation, but also allows Naruto Uzumaki, Sasuke Uchiha, and Sakura Haruno to establish enough bonds to pass on Konoha's will.

Only when they have established a deep enough bond will Konoha consider breaking up these people and regrouping.

"Alright, it's getting late, why don't we go eat!"

As soon as Naruto came back, he was brought here to compete with Sasuke, and Sasuke and Sakura had been exercising here and hadn't eaten, so Kakashi said to go and eat, and no one said no.

Tsunade and Jiraiya wanted to find a place to talk alone, and they weren't going to join a dinner party between a few young people.

As for Konohamaru, it was time for him to go home for dinner, but he didn't feel any regrets about watching a wonderful competition.

"What to eat?"

"Let's eat ramen, it's been a long time since I've eaten ramen made by Uncle Handi. ”

"Tsk, it's not a surprise at all!"

When asked what Naruto eats, his answer is always ramen, but Ethan admits that the ramen made by Uncle Teda does taste good.

Out of the training ground, casual chatter as he walked there, mainly Naruto and Sakura talking to each other about their experiences, Sasuke continued to pretend to be cool, and didn't seem interested in these things, but a little attention will show that he listened carefully.

"It turns out that Sakura has already worshiped Tsunade's mother-in-law as a master. ”

"Yes, I won't be holding back any more in the future!"

"Well, then Sasuke and I won't be afraid of getting hurt in the future!"

Ethan complained in his heart: I'm afraid you misunderstood what she meant, boy!

But such an interesting fact, let him find out for himself, how boring it is to say it directly.

When I walked to the noodle shop of the uncle, I saw two acquaintances as soon as I opened the curtain.

"You two are too!"

Nara Shikamaru and Temari were sitting there at this time, and it looked like they had just arrived, because there was no noodle bowl in front of them.

This guy had a stinky look on his face as soon as he saw him, and he almost wrote the words 'bad luck!' on his face.

"You're here too, didn't you go to Sasuke's place to eat today?"

While he was talking, Shikamaru realized that Sasuke was also there, and there was another guy.

"This is Naruto, you're back!"

Now he understood why this group of people came here, Naruto liked to eat ramen here, and he would definitely come here to eat when he returned to Konoha.

"Hey, are you guys dating?"

Naruto glanced at Temari next to him, and then suddenly leaned over to Shikamaru with a sly face, and teased Shikamaru and Temari going out to eat together.

As a result, he didn't ridicule Shikamaru, but he knew the cruel fact that the ninjas of the same class were the only ones who still shinobi.

"Huh, you don't know yet?" Then he pointed at Sasuke again: "For example, Sasuke and Ningji, as well as Kankuro from Shanin Village, and she are already Shangnin...... Not to mention the guy. ”

Naruto's gaze drifted over Temari and Sasuke, and finally stopped at Ethan in the direction Shikamaru was pointing.

At this time, Ethan had already sat down, right next to Shikamaru.

"Don't forget that 'that guy' in your mouth is your superior. ”

"Yes, Advisor!"

"And during this time, 'that guy' has been guiding you to practice. ”

"I'm sorry, Mr. Ethan!"

"What an insincere apology!"

"Is there anything Ethan would like to eat, please give the students a chance to express their gratitude!"

"What a sincere apology!"

“......”

The words of the two men left Naruto Uzumaki completely confused, and he couldn't figure out what Ethan's situation was at all.

"Konoha Kamishinobu Ethan, who currently serves as an advisor to the five generations of Hokage, is the youngest high-ranking person in Konoha. ”

Temari looked at Ethan, who was not far away, and she couldn't imagine that this young man, who had taken the middle ninja exam with her a few years ago, had actually stood in such a high position.

Although I Airo has become a wind shadow, the situation faced by the two is completely different - even if I don't want to admit it in my heart, but the peak of Konoha talent is indeed not comparable to that of Sand Ninja Village, and being able to stand at the peak of Konoha with many talents means standing at the peak of the ninja world.

But...... A man who looks more beautiful than himself is even more unpleasant than his strength!

"Anyway, Naruto, are you going to take the middle ninja exam this time?"

Shikamaru and Temari were together just to coordinate this year's middle ninja exam, so after finishing work, Shikamaru, as the host, politely invited Temari to eat together.

It's just that he didn't expect to meet Naruto and them, and what gave him even more headache was that he met Ethan - obviously the laziest guy in the village, but he liked to play some devil training, and he was the most headache for Shikamaru.

"Of course, I'm not going to be left behind too much by you. ”

Naruto made a bold promise, 'I must pass the shinobi exam,' and began to eat bowl after bowl of ramen.

Ethan didn't eat bowl after bowl of noodles, he ordered a few snacks and side dishes, and then enjoyed the extra 'blackmail' dinner.

After eating, everyone went home, and the next day Naruto didn't show up, he just returned to Konoha and had his own things to deal with, such as tidying up his residence and going to meet Iruka.

After finishing these chores, Naruto Uzumaki officially returned to the team.

The seventh squad regrouped, and from the perspective of configuration, it was definitely the most sophisticated squad in Konoha.

The well-known Konoha technician, copy ninja, and Sharingan banner Kakashi lead the team.

has been promoted to the upper ninja, and the strength is far beyond the original plot of the Uchiha's new generation of genius Uchiha Sasuke;

Tsunade's personal disciple,A medical ninja Sakura Haruno,Who has mastered powerful medical ninjutsu,Also mastered combat ninjutsu such as strange power。

Coupled with the nine-tailed pillar power of Konoha Village, Naruto Uzumaki, one of the three ninjas, was also personally taught by Jiraiya.

This configuration is definitely luxurious, and the first official mission of this super team after assembling is to support the Sand Ninja Village!
