Konoha: Change from Uchiha

In the mountain forest in winter.

Several thin figures were running in the snow, and the creaking footsteps alerted the sparrows looking for food, and they flapped their wings and flew up to the snow-covered branches.

Sasuke exhaled white air from his mouth, and while running according to the rhythm, he observed Naruto and Hinata behind him.

Hinata's performance is quite satisfactory. As a member of the wealthy Hyuga clan, she received ninja training at a very young age. The Hyuga clan is famous for its soft fists and Byakugan in the ninja world. Her coordination ability is no less than that of herself who has undergone scientific training. Give more.

In contrast, although Naruto's performance was a little worse, he showed orderliness in the first five kilometers of training.

There is no need to learn, the body naturally masters the rhythm of breathing, without any signs of failure. This physical quality makes Sasuke a little envious, and he can only blame the physical fitness on the nine-tailed beast in his body.

The identity of the jinchuriki attracted the eyes of the villagers, and also brought Naruto the key to the road to strength.

If he grew up successfully, it would be impossible to have strength that surpassed Itachi Uchiha, and he was destined to be a strong man in the ninja world.

The five-kilometer training ended quickly. Naruto panted lightly and asked Sasuke: "Running is so tiring... Are there any other training items? I want to become as strong as you."

Only by becoming stronger can he not be bullied, this is what Naruto is thinking at the moment.

"One hundred sit-ups, squats, and push-ups each, and four hundred repeated horizontal jumps."

In order to test Naruto's limits, Sasuke directly stated all the basic items of his daily exercise. As for the ninja training of throwing kunai, climbing trees and treading water, he did not mention it.

As for whether Naruto would lose his hair and become a ninja out of interest, it was not within his scope of consideration.

Soon, Naruto started training. Occasionally, Hinata corrected his non-standard postures and cheered him on.

Seeing this scene, Sasuke felt inexplicably uncomfortable. He turned his back to him and began to exercise by himself. He diverted his attention and looked into the depths of the mountain forest.

After discovering that Itachi had been following him, Sasuke became wary of everything going on around him.

As the eldest daughter of the clan, it was impossible for Hinata not to arrange for guards to protect her after being bullied. Needless to say, the importance of the Jinchuuriki was that if he were the Hokage, he would be under his nose all the time.

So in the dark, there must be many elite ninjas staying around Naruto, at least at the chunin level.

Being observed like this, Sasuke did not dare to really teach Naruto about ninja knowledge. He only shared a few very common exercise methods, and he did not dare to reveal the method of refining chakra at all.

When Naruto learns to refine chakra and becomes a ninja, he must give permission from the Hokage himself.

He had never met the third generation of the big shot in the village, but he could think from his perspective. The Hokage would definitely have a firm grip on the powerful power of the Jinchūriki.

For Naruto, today is destined to be an unforgettable day.

After half a day of training, Naruto learned a lot of ways to exercise. He would not be bored with nothing to do when he stayed at home. He had goals and ideas to catch up.

For this reason, Naruto was so tired that his eyelids were fighting, his walking became wobbly, and he could fall down at any time.

The joys and sorrows between people are always different. Seeing Naruto go through the same pain as himself, Sasuke felt secretly happy. Happiness must be based on the pain of others.

Taking Naruto and Hinata to the waterfall at the back of the village, Sasuke took out a few sharpened branches and aimed at the fish swimming in the water.

The branch came out of his hand, and the sharp arrow pierced the fish's gills, pinning the fish to death at the bottom of the stream.

The daily study and hard training were not in vain. Even if he defected to the ninja village, he could still become an excellent hunter, at least he would not starve to death in the mountains and forests.

After laughing at himself, Sasuke counted the number of fish, processed them and returned to the shore.

Naruto and Hinata started the fire early, brought in a few rocks to use as stools, and set up the grill.

Naruto, who lacked food sources, had already developed the skill of grilling fish early. The ingredients on the fish skin shone golden in the light of the fire, exuding an alluring aroma.

Barbecued food doesn't taste too bad after being sprinkled with cumin and chili.

Sasuke took the grilled fish from Naruto and after taking a few bites, he looked maliciously at the surrounding woods and showed a satisfied smile.

In the dark place where the scent could reach, looking at Nazuo and the other two people eating, drinking, talking and laughing, the ANBU ninja couldn't help but said: "Captain, has that Uchiha brat noticed us? I feel like they are looking in our direction again. "

"You are too worried. How can a kid who hasn't gone to ninja school see through our disguise? He is warning about wild beasts that may appear around him. But at this age, you can think of this. Even the Uchiha kid can't underestimate it. .”

"But Captain, it's okay for this brat to be running around with a jinchuriki, but he's still so tempting at meal time..."

"You are still too young. You can just fill your stomach with Bingliang Pills. I think back then I was..."

The ANBU team leader first lectured the juniors in a senior tone, and then said meaningfully: "Besides, the guard of the Hyuga branch who protects the eldest lady of the clan is closer than us, and he has experienced more tests than us."

"As expected of the captain, I suddenly feel much better, and my Bing Liang Wan is also much softer."

"You, you, young people should ask for more leave from their seniors..." The ANBU team leader took the compliment very seriously.

Sasuke didn't know what the ANBU team was thinking. If he knew, he would probably intensify the persecution and use more delicious food to test the ANBU team's will.

At this moment, he was staring at the old man who was walking slowly not far away, with his hands behind his back. The grilled fish in his hands suddenly lost its fragrance.

The old man looked to be in his sixties. There were not many old men of this age in the village, but there were certainly many. The only old man who could give him a strong sense of familiarity was the Third Hokage on Shadow Rock.

The Third Hokage had been paying attention to the three of them, and Sasuke knew this very well.

But he thought that the Ichimura Hokage, who was in charge of tens of thousands of people, would not take the initiative to show up before the war was over, and would secretly observe them for a period of time.

"Grandpa Third Generation!" After recognizing Sarutobi Hiruzen's identity, Naruto stood up and shouted.

"Long time no see, little Naruto, little Sasuke and little Hinata." Sarutobi Hiruzen smiled kindly, like the old man walking next door, without any of the aura or airs of the Hokage.

Sasuke did not dare to regard Sarutobi Hiruzen as an ordinary old man.

The other party has been in charge of Konoha's war machine for decades, and his hands are stained with more blood than he has ever seen a living person. In addition to his identity as Hokage, he is also the strongest ninja in the village.

Sarutobi Hiruzen didn't say "I'm not the Hokage tonight". He came to the fire and sat down, pointing to the grilled fish on the shelf and asked: "I'm hungry after smelling the fragrance. Can you share some with me?" ?"

Naruto glanced at Sasuke and Hinata and asked with his eyes that grilled fish was the common prey of the three of them and he could not make decisions without permission.

"Eat it when you're hungry. It was originally made for everyone to share. We are already full anyway..." Sasuke said in a casual tone, and together with Naruto, handed the grilled fish to Sarutobi Hiruzen.

"It's delicious...even better than what's sold in stores!"

After taking a few bites, Sarutobi Hiruzen's eyes lit up and he praised him repeatedly.

After being praised, the atmosphere in front of the fire became active again, and Sarutobi Hiruzen also took the opportunity to ask Sasuke and Naruto about their recent lives and worries.

After talking about their worries, the distance between them became much closer.

It was getting late, Sarutobi Hiruzen stood up slowly, and took the initiative to send Sasuke and others to the fork in the street. After staying there, he watched Naruto's back walk into the room on the top floor.

After waving his hand, Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at the ANBU who appeared in the clearing, and his expression returned to seriousness.

"Because you don't want Naruto to be bullied, why don't you take Naruto with you to exercise..."

After listening to the ANBU team leader's report on Naruto's life in recent days, Sarutobi Hiruzen dragged his chin and fell into deep thought, and the surrounding ANBU immediately disappeared into the black shadow.
