I'm Uzumaki Naruto, I don't need approval

Chapter 77 077. Notify Jiraiya

After the holiday, it was the day when Ninja School started.

Hinata and Sasuke, who returned to campus, were looking forward to meeting Naruto, but when they arrived in the classroom, they were surprised to find that Naruto was absent.

Sasuke and Hinata looked at each other with worry in their eyes.

After asking other students in the class to no avail, the two went to the teacher's office and found the class teacher Iruka.

After figuring out the purpose of the students' visit, Iruka also said with a puzzled look: "I don't know the whereabouts of Naruto. When we were in class just now, I wanted to ask you where Naruto went?"

"But, having said that, there has been no news about Naruto from the village recently."

Hearing this, Hinata and Sasuke looked at each other. They stayed at home and practiced hard during the holidays and had no time to care about the rumors from the outside world. They did not expect that Naruto would disappear like this.

What should they do if they really can't find Naruto?

Seeing the negative expressions on the two people's faces, Iruka sighed softly, and then said: "Go back to class first. When school is over, I will take you to the Third Generation. He should know where Naruto has gone."

"Okay, Teacher Iruka remember to inform us..."

In desperation, Sasuke and Hinata returned to the classroom.

After school, Iruka took Hinata and Sasuke to the Hokage Building and met the Third Hokage who was handling official business in the office.

The Third Hokage put out the pipe in his hand and spoke the words he had prepared long ago.

"I understand why you are here. You guys are here for Naruto. He has passed the examination and officially became a genin. He is currently sent out by me to perform tasks."

"So Naruto has graduated..." Hearing this, Iruka fell into silence.

It is a good thing for Naruto to graduate early, but he always feels that graduating too early is not friendly to the psychological growth of ninjas, but as a teacher, he respects the students' choices.

Hinata glanced at the third generation and said softly: "Hokage-sama, when will Naruto come back? Everyone in the class misses him very much, and I also want to see him."

"I don't know the specific time. I will inform you if there is any news. Don't worry too much."

"But..." Hinata wanted to say something else, but was directly interrupted by Sasuke:

"Okay, okay, that guy Naruto is fine. He is so strong, and the ones who are unlucky when performing missions are also enemies. We don't need to worry about him. You should take care of yourself. Naruto hates weak people the most."

After receiving the news that Naruto graduated and became a ninja, Iruka left the Hokage Building with two students.

Just as Hinata was about to return to the Hyuga tribe, Sasuke blocked her way and said with a gloomy expression: "Byakugan sister, you should have noticed something is wrong."

Hinata said weakly: "Sasuke-kun, you are saying that there is something wrong with Naruto-kun becoming a ninja."

Sasuke nodded and said in a determined tone: "The old man Hokage said that Naruto is not here because he graduated early and became a genin, but it is impossible for Naruto to not inform us of such a big thing...unless Naruto has left the village."

At this time, Hinata seemed to remember something and said, "That's what happened. The picnic held by Naruto at the end of last semester was almost like a farewell party. I thought it was very strange at the time."

Sasuke looked deeply at Hinata: "I can't tell, you are observing very carefully. I thought you would only blush when you see Naruto, but I didn't expect it to have any effect."

"Tell me, why are you so eager to find Naruto?"

Hinata said disapprovingly: "Naruto-kun promised me that he would come to my house to play after school started, but I didn't expect that Naruto-kun would abandon his agreement with me. It really makes me sad."

After a pause, Hinata looked at Sasuke and asked unceremoniously: "Then why is Sasuke looking for Naruto-kun?"

Sasuke folded his hands on his chest, and his eyes gradually became dangerous: "Unlike you, a love brain, I came to Naruto for training. I must become stronger as soon as possible and kill that man."

"Which man?" Hinata was confused. She didn't know about the tragedy of the Uchiha clan.

Sasuke snorted and said, "This matter has nothing to do with you, but since our goal is to find Naruto, we have formed an alliance to share information. I suspect that Shikamaru and Choji should know about Naruto's departure."

In the office, after Iruka and others left, the Third Hokage asked the ANBU beside him: "It's been a week, haven't you brought back Naruto yet?"

The Third Hokage's idea was simple, he wanted to find Naruto who had defected.

Then he apologized seriously and brought everything back to normal. After all, Naruto was different from the defected Uchiha. He was Minato's child and the only candidate for jinchūriki.

Anbu lowered his head and said, "The jinchuriki's anti-tracking ability is too strong. A team tracked him for three days before discovering that the jinchuriki he was following was a shadow clone. We can't tell the difference between the main body and the clone."

The Third Hokage frowned, and then said: "Isn't there a Hyuga ninja in the team?"

Anbu smiled bitterly and said: "Even the Byakugan can't tell the difference between the true body and the shadow clone. The Jinchuriki has been able to integrate the Nine-Tails chakra into the clone, and my subordinates suspect that the Jinchuriki has ultra-long-distance perception and has been playing tricks on us." .”

After hearing this, the Third Hokage fell into silence, and then waved his hand: "The task of bringing back the Jinchuuriki is temporarily suspended. There is no need to waste time on this. You have more important things to do, so go down first. "

"Yes, Sandaime-sama." Anbu left the office.

Picking up the pipe and lighting it again, the Third Hokage opened the drawer and took out a file that had been dusty for many years, with a toad-like pattern on it.

Immediately afterwards, the Third Hokage used the file to perform a psychic technique and summoned a small toad.

The little toad is one of the ways to contact Jiraiya. Among the three former apprentices, the only one he can use now is Jiraiya.

Although Jiraiya also dislikes what he does, he has always been working hard for the village.

Since there was a problem with the way he taught Naruto, he could only ask Jiraiya. Anyway, Jiraiya had long wanted to get custody of Naruto.

He stuffed the autographed letter into the toad's mouth and watched as the toad left using reverse necromancy.

The Third Hokage felt that the burden on his shoulders was relieved a lot, and he could finally start to deal with major issues in the village.

In addition to sending people to investigate the remnants of the defected Uchiha, Iwagakure and Kumogakure on the border have recently begun to make moves, reaching out to the small country ninja village near the Fire Country.

These small national ninja villages are dispensable to Konoha and are not important.

But it is very important for Konoha not to let these small countries fall to the other four major ninja villages.
