I'm not that Uzumaki Naruto

Chapter 16 Naruto-sama let me be your friend

"Shikamaru, I can't help it. Hokage-sama believes that only you can complete this task. You have read Naruto's information. Although he is Jinchuriki, he has never hurt anyone in the past few years, so he probably won't. It's dangerous, so."

"Hey~Father, I'm not worried about this, but I just want to tell you that this is a task that is destined to be impossible to complete"

It was already night at this time, after the three generations of Hokage and them repeatedly studied the plan to contact Naruto in the office, Shikajiu and his son Shikamaru had just left the Hokage office and returned home.

Both of them sat on the tatami with sad faces. Although Shikaku was comforting his son, his expression was much uglier than Shikamaru.

"Huh?" Lu Jiu was puzzled when he heard his son say this: "Why are you so sure that the mission will fail?"

Shikamaru shook his head, closed his eyes, first stretched his arms, and then put his hands together in a weird pose.

"100% will fail!"

"You have never been in contact with Naruto, why are you so sure?"

After Lu Jiu watched his son close his eyes and express the conclusion of his thoughts calmly, the worried look on his face gradually turned serious.

He knew it was his son's thoughtful answer, but he wanted to know why.

Otherwise, it will be difficult to explain to the third generation of Hokage at that time. Their position in Konoha is the shadow of Hokage, a confidant, and a military adviser.

And you must know that their Nara family has received a lot of promotion and care since the third generation became Hokage, and the family's status in the village has been steadily improved.

"Look carefully." Shikamaru opened his eyes and groped for two photos from his clothes and said, "These two photos are the first time Naruto went out at the age of 3, and the latest photo taken by Hokage-sama."

"The photos are all about his true face"

"The three-year-old photo was taken when he was being abused and discussed in the street. The latest photo was taken when he sent Miss Hinata home. Look at the expression on his face, especially his eyes."

Lu Jiu took the photo handed over by his son, looked at it repeatedly for a long time and frowned, "Is there something wrong? There seems to be no difference in the eyes."

"Yes! There is no difference!" Shikamaru replied decisively, and then he pointed to the photo in his father's hand and continued: "Father, from the first photo, we can know that Naruto was standing alone in front of everyone. The opposite, but I can't see any fear, hatred, or any emotion of wanting to escape from his eyes in the photo."

"If a person stands on the opposite side of everyone, even adults will feel terrible, but the expression of Naruto I saw in the photo is too calm, if it were a different child, he might have been scared to cry up"

"There is no other emotion in Naruto's eyes except indifference, which makes me feel more like Naruto isolated everyone by himself"

Hearing that Lu Jiu did not speak, he stared solemnly at the first photo and looked again. After a while, he slowly said, "What did you see in the second photo?"

Shikamaru stood up from the tatami and said, "Usually speaking, the eyes are the windows to the soul, and expressions can judge a person's most real psychological activities at a certain moment."

"But father, look carefully. Although Naruto is smiling in the photo, his eyes have never changed. You just noticed it right away. His eyes in the two photos are exactly the same, dead and indifferent, without any emotion. inside"

"Have you ever seen that look?"

"And Miss Hinata in the second photo can be said to have the best chance of becoming friends with Naruto, but father, you have read the information, and he didn't even say her name after sending Miss Hinata home."

When Lu Jiu was listening to his son's analysis, he fixed his eyes on Naruto who was smiling in the photo, looking at those blue eyes and familiar hair color, a trace of nostalgia appeared on his face, After a long time, he let out a long sigh.

"Oh, Shikamaru, it seems really troublesome now."

~~~~~~~~~
Half a month passed quickly.

In the early morning of this day, Naruto was walking alone on the road beside a small river. Not long after, a dense forest appeared in front of Naruto, as quiet and silent as a natural green barrier.

Since he met Uchiha Shisui that day, he has not gone to the Uchiha clan's place again. The Uchiha clan and the Konoha high-level leaders headed by the third generation are already in dire straits, and the goal is too big, so it is no longer suitable to go.

This time the woods was a place that his father Namikaze Minato pointed out to him, and he came here today to arrange a practice site for himself.

"Is this the crest of the Nara clan?"

Just as Naruto crossed a main road, 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 tamed the docile deer for harvesting antlers and making medicine, but no one will come here at this time of the year."

Namikaze Minato explained in the sealed space.

"I heard that the people of the Nara clan are very smart, with a very high IQ?"

"There is such a saying, it's just that my time as Hokage was too short, and I had very little contact with their clan,"

Naruto thought for a while and walked into the woods. After finding an open space, Naruto sat down on the ground, and his consciousness immediately came to the sealed space, and then Namikaze Minato and Naruto's fists touched together.

Namikaze Minato is passing on his introductory skills of practicing Flying Thunder God to Naruto through the Chakra of the Nine Lamas.

He finally agreed to teach Naruto the art of flying thunder!
~~~~~~~
Naruto Office.

"Hehe! I didn't expect such a coincidence that Naruto appeared in this forest of your Nara clan."

The Third Hokage looked at the crystal ball and said with a smile.

Shikamaru in front of the desk was also very surprised. Recently, he had a bit of a breakdown in order to find a suitable opportunity to contact Naruto.

The main reason is that since Naruto came home from the injury that day, he went out once a day, and the time and place of going out were not fixed.

This caused Shikamaru to bankrupt all the encounter plans that Shikamaru racked his brains for many times.

Just now he was playing shogi with his father at home when an Anbu suddenly appeared and called him over without saying a word.

"Hokage-sama, you mean I'm going now?"

Shikamaru looked at the smiling Third Hokage and asked.

"Shikamaru, you have to know, this is a rare opportunity, Naruto may not necessarily go to your clan land tomorrow." Third Hokage's complexion immediately recovered majesty, and his eyes were sharp and a bit menacing.

"I'm leaving immediately"

Shikamaru's heart shuddered, and he could tell that Sandai Hokage was a little dissatisfied.

~~~~~~~~
"Naruto, these are the entry points of Flying Thunder God. In fact, the entry stage of Flying Thunder God is not difficult for you. In the past, my three guards just got a little bit of my cultivation experience to get started."

"Well, the three of them have also mastered the Flying Thunder God technique?"

Naruto felt very strange when he heard this. In the anime, he clearly saw that the three of them had to cooperate with each other to barely use the technique of Flying Thunder God.

"Um, no, they just understood the basics, but they didn't complete it independently, because their independent perception accuracy is not enough, and only three people can cooperate to barely use the technique of flying thunder array I developed. After the end of the third ninja war , under the arrangement of the third generation, I started to learn to handle the village's government affairs, and I couldn't find time to guide him in this regard."

After Namakaze Minato said this, he looked at Kurama who was lying on the side first, and then continued: "Because your mother is pregnant, and you have been busy as Hokage, and then what happened five years ago "

Jiu Lama opened his eyes when he heard this, and his red pupils flashed a sharp light.

The Fourth Hokage mentioned that five years ago, it directly reminded it of the mysterious person with the kaleidoscope Sharingan, which is a very unpleasant memory.

Naruto saw the displeasure in Jiu Lama's eyes, and quickly waved his hands and said, "Okay, father, I just want to make sure that they have cultivated the complete Flying Thunder God, you don't need to explain so much."

Namikaze Minato smiled awkwardly: "Oh, I thought you had other plans."

Naruto in the sealed space didn't see his father's embarrassment. He was silently thinking about how to avoid surveillance, especially the surveillance of the Third Hokage's telescopic technique.

Otherwise, he would not be able to practice the Flying Thunder God technique with peace of mind.

Although no one is following him now, as long as there is that crystal ball, the third generation has the possibility to peek into his secret at any time.

After a while, Naruto asked casually, "Father, are you sure there is only one crystal ball in the office of the Third Hokage?"

"There is only one," Namikaze Minato subconsciously replied, but he immediately reacted and said, "Naruto, do you want to destroy that crystal ball?"

Naruto said calmly: "I'm planning and thinking about the possibility of this matter succeeding, or do you mean Father, do you agree with them spying on my life all the time?"

Namikaze Minato stared, then immediately shook his head like a rattle.

"I have to plan this matter well, or what? Is this person coming towards me?"

When Naruto was contemplating, he suddenly sensed a wave of chakra leaving the center of the village, and directly set foot on the road leading to the forest.

The road beside the small river leads directly to the green barrier, and this person sensed that he came from the direction of Sandai Hokage's office at the beginning, and has been walking on this road for some time now.

"Naruto, is someone here?"

"It may be, or it may not be, but it is certain that this person came from Hokage's office"

Minato Namikaze in the sealed space was speechless.

I just mentioned the issue of surveillance, and the three generations of Hokage responded immediately
It was Shikamaru who rushed over to Naruto at this time.

As he got closer to his destination, Shikamaru's heart sank deeper and deeper.

The third Hokage just emphasized again when he went out that he did not send Shikamaru a mission, nor did he ask Shikamaru to be a spy.

He asked Shikamaru to be friends with Naruto, and let him understand Naruto's thoughts on the basis of gaining Naruto's trust.

Then report to him regularly!

Thinking of this, a hint of self-mockery flashed in Shikamaru's eyes.

Doesn't that count as a spy?

So what is it like to be a spy!

Do the three generations of Hokage really don't understand the definition of a friend, or do they not know what it feels like to trust?
If he really followed the requirements of the third Hokage, would it be possible for him to make friends in his own generation?
Do you still have the sincerity to make friends?
Thinking of this, a chubby figure flashed in Shikamaru's mind.

How important friends are, that guy Choji told him long ago.

Since Hokage-sama asked me to be friends with Naruto, then he will be my real friend!
After confirming the true determination in his heart, Shikamaru felt that his steps on the road were extraordinarily easy, and soon he walked into the woods, according to the position he saw in the crystal ball before, after a few laps in the woods, he The first time I really saw Naruto.

Naruto, who was sitting on the rock, had been waiting, and Shikamaru recognized him as soon as he entered his field of vision.

Obviously, Shikamaru came here by himself.

Because he saw that Shikamaru just found himself, and strode towards his position.

When he saw Shikamaru walking in front of him with a lazy look, before he could speak, Shikamaru's expression immediately became extremely serious.

"Hi, my name is Nara Shikamaru, Hokage-sama asked me to come and be your friend!"
