"Going to Sunagakure Village?"

In the barbecue restaurant, Xiao Li almost choked when he heard Neji say that he was going to Sunagakure tomorrow.

He coughed and took a sip of water: "Neji, why are you going to Sunagakure?"

"Idiot Xiao Li." Tenten next to him said with a smile, "Sunagakure is about to have a new Kazekage. Neji went over to congratulate him on behalf of the village."

"Oh, that's it." Xiao Li suddenly realized, "I have been in retreat recently, and I don't know much about what is happening outside."

"..."

"You've been in seclusion for long enough this time." Neji said while biting a meat skewer.

The last time the three of them went out to eat together was two months ago.After that, Xiao Li went into seclusion.

Xiao Li hummed: "I didn't know it would take so long, but I still gained a lot. Neji, why don't I challenge you again before I leave?"

"...Let's talk about it when I get back."

Neji was really impressed by Xiao Li. Basically every time he went out to eat, he had to spar after eating.

Of course, he admires Xiao Li's perseverance and can actually see his progress.

In the last competition, Xiao Li's physical skills were already very exaggerated. When he opened five doors in seconds, Neji almost got hit.

If he continues to practice like this, Neji feels that it is very possible for Xiao Li to surpass Mr. Akai.

This is probably the inertia of success. As long as you succeed once, you will give yourself confidence, and you will become more and more motivated when you practice in the future.

"OK then."

"Neji, are you going alone this time? Isn't it a bit dangerous...after all, you are going to another country." Tiantian worried.

Although she knew that Neji was very powerful, she still felt uneasy about going to another powerful hidden village alone.

"Not alone." Neji said, "I will lead a team."

"Squad?"

"Well, you should also know Class [-], which is one year younger than us.

"Class [-]?!" Tiantian exclaimed, "Isn't that Ino's class?"

"Yes. Ino Yamanaka, Shikamaru Nara, and Choji Akimichi. The three of them will go with me."

Tenten's big eyes were even more confused: "Why did Tsunade-sama let them go with you? Didn't their instructor Asuma-senpai go?"

"Probably I want to train them. Asuma seems to have other tasks and won't accompany them."

That being said, however, Neji thought this was a reward for Asuma.

Shizune came to Neji before and told him about the two consultants going to see the Third Generation. She also told Neji that it was the Third Generation who asked Asuma to report to Tsunade.

Knowing this, combined with Tsunade suddenly asking Team [-] to go to Sunagakure with him, this means that the reward is right.

You know, going to Sunagakure to congratulate is actually a matter of being in the limelight, not only in your own village, but also in other villages.There are so many ninjas in each village, how many are famous in the ninja world?Being able to show up as a ninja from outside the village at the Kazekage's inauguration ceremony will definitely make him famous.

Although...some ninjas don't want to be famous at all.

For example, in Class [-], Shikamaru and Choji, one of them is lazy and the other loves to eat, and they probably have no idea about becoming famous.As a girl, Ino might want to show off a little bit, but that's about it.

So Neji also felt that it was a bit troublesome, so he might as well go alone.

With these three, I have to work part-time as their bodyguards.

"I'm so envious... I want to go with you too..." Tiantian said a little embarrassed.

Neji smiled: "If I have a chance in the future, I will take you to visit the entire ninja world. No, I will take you to the moon when the time comes."

"Moon?! Stop lying, huh."

"Who lied..."

Seeing that Tenten didn't believe it, Neji smiled and said nothing more.

Xiao Li also knew that the two were together, but he was so naive that he had no awareness of the "light bulb" at all, and he was still eating at the sidelines at this time.

Tiantian asked him instead: "Xiao Li, did you go to see Xiaoying again before going into seclusion? Don't you like her?"

When Xiao Li heard this, he immediately showed an expression that was about to cry: "Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu I went to find it, but Xiaoying rejected me directly!"

"Uh……"

Tiantian thought that Xiao Li had a chance, after all, his biggest love rival Sasuke was not in the village now.

It turns out it still doesn't work.

Neji heard the two mentioning Sakura and asked casually: "Is Sakura still training with Kakashi now?"

"No." Xiao Li said, "Sakura is now apprenticed to the Hokage, and she often goes to Konoha Hospital to help while learning medical ninjutsu."

It's still like this...

Neji hadn't paid much attention to Sakura during this period, but he didn't expect that she would still become Tsunade's master.

But this is quite normal.Sasuke and Orochimaru ran away, Naruto was taken away by Jiraiya, and only Sakura stayed in the village. It would be better to have a more suitable teacher than Kakashi.

"So I have to work harder!" Xiao Li's eyes burned with the flame of struggle, "I have to become stronger! Only then will Sakura like me!"

...Although Neji really wanted to talk to him about some experience and tell him that there are some things that rely on hard work to be useless, such as appearance...?

But such words are too cruel, so I won’t say them again.

After finishing the barbecue, it was time for Neji to set off.

He said goodbye to Tiantian Xiaoli, and when he went to the village entrance, he found that the people from Class [-] had already arrived.

"It's so slow. We've been waiting for more than ten minutes." Ino Yamanaka was a little dissatisfied when he saw Neji.

Neji took out an old-fashioned pocket watch from his pocket: "The agreement was for one o'clock in the afternoon, and it's only [-]:[-] now. Why are you here so early?"

Shikamaru put his hands in his pockets and curled his lips: "It's not a well..."

"Um?!"

Ino rolled his eyes, and Shikamaru immediately fell silent.

Choji stood aside holding a bag of potato chips and said vaguely while chewing: "Neji, long time no see. You are more handsome than before."

"Choji, you haven't changed much, you still love to eat."

"This is my hobby."

The three of them didn't treat Neji as rigidly as some people.Although there is a big gap in status, they are only one year younger than Neji in terms of age, and they took the Chuunin Exams in the same year, so they are relatively familiar with each other.

"It's so troublesome." Shikamaru complained, "Why do you let us come with you... Our class is nothing special."

"You have to ask your instructor."

"Huh? Did Mr. Asuma apply to let us go?"

"Ask him when you get back." Neji said, "Let's go when you're ready."

……

Sand Hidden Village.

Gaara stood at the entrance of the village, looking at the desert in the distance.

Compared with two years ago, he has grown a lot taller, his hair has been cut shorter, and he looks very capable.

What changed more than his appearance was his temperament.He would have given people a violent and terrifying feeling, but now he stood so calmly, as if he was a different person.

"Hey, Gaara, when will you fulfill your promise?"

Ichibi Shukaku's voice sounded in his mind.

It made an agreement with Gaara at the beginning, and would lend its power to Gaara when he needed it.The price is that when Gaara understands his mission or the meaning of his existence, he must release Shukaku from his body.

"It's not time yet, Shukaku." Gaara said calmly.

"What? You are about to become a Kazekage now! Why, if you want to become a Kazekage, you are not willing to give up your own life and don't want to let me out?"

The threat in Shukaku's voice was clear, as if Gaara would cause a scene if he just said "no".

However, Gaara was unmoved and his expression remained calm.

"I said, it's not the time yet." Gaara looked at the desert and said, "I have no nostalgia for Kazekage's identity. You don't have to worry, I will do what I say, and I will let you out when the time comes."

"Hmph...that's best."

Shukaku's voice no longer sounded.

After a while, Temari came over.

"Gaara, it's almost time, go get ready."

"Have all the guests from other countries arrived?"

"Everything has arrived."

Gaara nodded and turned around to go with Temari to the site of the inauguration ceremony.

On the way, Temari turned to look at Gaara, and was very shocked by the changes in him over the past year.

Ever since the snake-catching operation ended, Gaara seemed to be a different person when he returned to the village.He first investigated all the past events to make sure that his father Luo Sha had not lied to him after his death.

After that, Gaara began to practice hard and became interested in village affairs.

Their sensei, Maki, helped Gaara a lot after discovering this.In just one year, Gaara understood most of Sunagakure's affairs clearly, and his relationship with the villagers also improved greatly.

Initially, the villagers were afraid of him, but slowly, after discovering Gaara's change, their attitude towards him gradually turned into expectation.

Part of this expectation comes from his father being Luo Sha, and part of it comes from his strength.

Although Ma Ji is good in all aspects, there is still a gap between his strength and the other shadows from the hidden villages.As one of the five hidden villages, only the shadows in his own village do not have shadow-level strength, which makes some people feel uncomfortable.

Especially after Tsunade came to power in Konoha Village a year ago, there were some trends in Sunagakure Village. Many people were discussing that Gaara had surpassed Maki in terms of strength.And his character gradually changed from a violent boy to a calm and generous one.

Coupled with his father who had made a lot of contributions to Sunagakure, Gaara's prestige gradually increased among the young people.Rasa, who discovered this, convened a Jonin meeting without any hesitation.

At the meeting, he proposed to give up the position of Kazekage to Gaara.Although there was a wave of opposition at the beginning, Maki himself made it clear that when he became the Kazekage, he had to obey the authority in a hurry. At that time, he promised that he would give up his position as soon as a more suitable person appeared.

Now this person appears, that is the reformed Gaara.Regardless of prestige, strength, or even origin, Gaara is more suitable to be the Kazekage.

When he said this, the Jonin naturally had no way to refute and agreed.As for Gaara himself, he did not shirk after receiving the news and agreed to become the new Kazekage.

But it’s not for myself…

Gaara walked to the ceremony location and Maki was already waiting for him, holding the robe and kage hat representing the Kazekage.

"For everyone in Sunagakure." Maki looked directly into Gaara's eyes, "Become the Sixth Kazekage, Gaara."
