Hokage: I, Naruto Uzumaki, was a genius at the beginning

Chapter 123 System Upgrade Complete
"quack~~"

Kakashi bit his thumb, quickly formed a few handprints with his hands, and slapped the ground fiercely.

"The art of psychic!"

bang~~
A large cloud of white smoke exploded, and a group of ninja dogs with different styles appeared on the ground.

One of the bulldogs was the smallest, wearing a Konoha ninja forehead on his head, panting heavily with his mouth open.

"Yo~~ Kakashi, the eight ninja dogs are here."

Kakashi nodded: "Parker, don't be such a stinky fart, I have to ask you for some things, help me find someone."

Before Ninja could reply, Kakashi looked at Temari seriously: "Do you have Gaara's belongings? If you have, it can greatly reduce the time we need to find him."

"Ah?" Temari looked at the appearance of several ninja dogs, a slight look of horror flashed across her face, she groped behind her back, and took out a ninja forehead protector from Hidden Sand Village.

"Is this ok?"

"Of course it's okay." Kakashi reached out to take Kunai, put it between the noses of Parker and the other ninja dogs and sniffed it.

The 8 ninja dogs twitched their noses one after another, searching for possible smells around them.

After a long time, Parker shook his head slightly: "Kakashi, there is no smell of this person here."

"Really." Kakashi nodded, and then looked in the direction of the Land of Winds: "It seems that we can only start looking for it from the place where Gaara disappeared."

Temari and Kankuro looked at each other, and they both saw a look of joy in each other's eyes.

It seems that it was the right time to come to Konoha for help this time. Although these ninja dogs have not yet played a role, they seem to be very reliable.

"Everyone, it's not too late, let us lead the way now."

Temari waved his hand, jumped up the big tree first, stepped on the trunk and galloped towards Sand Hidden Village.

"set off!"

Kakashi greeted and followed Temari's pace.

"Yes, Kakashi-sensei."

The rest of the people also agreed one after another, and followed behind Kakashi.

Only Naruto held Ino's arm and stayed at the end.

"Naruto, what's wrong?" Ino looked at Naruto suspiciously.

Naruto looked at Ino sincerely, and said apologetically, "Ino, give me a little more time, and I will explain our relationship to everyone."

"And Hinata's side, I will also communicate with her, I will not give up on both of you."

Ino's body couldn't help being slightly startled, and a touch of emotion surged in his heart: "Naruto. I. It's really okay. Even if I can only develop this kind of underground love relationship with you, I am willing."

Before Ino finished speaking, Naruto raised his hand to cover Ino's small mouth: "I don't want you to look down on yourself so much. Since we have such a relationship, I will be responsible to you to the end."

"Hinata is my woman, and you are also my woman. I don't want you to be wronged."

"Yeah." Ino nodded vigorously, with a sweet smile unconsciously showing on the corner of his mouth.

What Naruto said moved Ino even more, until now she was sure that she really did not misjudge this man.

"Stop smirking, let's go."

Naruto smiled and pinched Ino's cheek, and led her to chase after Kakashi and the others.

A group of people traveled through the dense forest of the country of fire all the way, and arrived at the territory of the country of rivers.

The land and climate of the country of rivers is still similar to that of the country of fire, mostly trees and dense forests.

In two full days, a group of 8 people finally crossed the entire territory of the River Country and arrived at the border area.

[Ding Dong~~ The system has been upgraded. 】

[This system upgrade has added some functions, such as the upgrade of ninjutsu level, the probability of drawing prizes for blood succession limits, etc. 】

Naruto was taken aback by the system notification sound that suddenly appeared in his mind.

But after a while, Naruto couldn't help but feel joy rising in his heart.

Ninjutsu level upgrade?
A lottery draw for blood successors?

Although I still don't know what it is, but this kind of thing is not too bad, is it?

"Ms. Kakashi, everyone, I think we should rest here first."

Naruto stopped first, preventing everyone from moving forward.

There was no rest for two whole days, and the condition of the group was very poor.

If you really run into an enemy at this time, your combat effectiveness will probably be greatly reduced.

Naruto and his party of five were okay, mainly Temari and Kankuro, Konoha who had rushed all the way here.

After resting for less than two hours, he immediately followed Naruto and his party and started on their way.

During these two days, Temari and Kankuro had already been in a trance, bumped their heads against the trunk of a big tree several times, and almost passed out on the spot.

Kakashi turned his head and glanced at everyone: "I see, let's do it according to Naruto's wishes. Everyone will rest here tonight. If you step into the territory of the Kingdom of Wind tomorrow, you may not have such a good chance to rest."

"Yes! Kakashi-sensei."

Ino, Sakura and the others nodded in agreement, let go of their tense nerves, and found a big tree to lean against and sat down.

Naruto also sat down beside Ino, took out the water bottle in his backpack and took a sip, then handed the water bottle to Ino.

"Thank you." With a sweet smile on the corner of Ino's mouth, he took the kettle and drank slowly.

Haruno Sakura took out a large pancake, and moved over with a gossip face, glanced at Naruto and Ino with doubts, and asked in a low voice: "Hey~~ Is there really anything wrong with you two, Naruto?" People, Ino."

Ino's cheeks flushed, and he avoided Sakura's gaze, turning his head to look at Naruto.

"That's right, you guessed it right, I'm with Ino." Naruto nodded and admitted generously.

"Nani~~~"

Haruno Sakura let out an exclamation, which attracted everyone's attention.

But she realized that something was wrong, quickly covered her mouth, and asked softly again: "Naruto, but haven't you been with Hinata?"

Naruto cast a casual glance at Haruno Sakura: "I'm with Hinata, but this doesn't stop me from liking Ino. Is there any problem? Both of them are mine."

Naruto waved his hand impatiently and said: "Can you stop gossiping and go eat your big cake quickly."

[Haruno Sakura anger value +66]

"Tch~~ You're really stingy, everyone will know anyway." Haruno Sakura gave Naruto a dissatisfied look, turned around and distanced herself from the two of them.

Chasing away Sakura, Naruto ignored his hungry stomach and opened the system panel impatiently.

Naruto looked at the system interface panel and scanned it carefully.
