Konoha: Naruto Returns from Sekiro

At the end of the second exam, some people were happy and some were sad.

Naruto belongs to the happier group. After all, the old man said that there will be a month's rest between now and the start of the third exam.

And it’s still a month without having to go on a mission.

Although there is no mission reward, his dependence on money is small, and he will definitely have a good time in a month.

Of course this is his own understanding.

For other ninjas, this month will be an excellent time to constantly make up for their shortcomings and gather intelligence on their opponents.

The way ninjas fight often takes weird routes.

A fully prepared battle and an unprepared encounter are two completely different situations.

"Naruto, where are you going?" Izuno asked in confusion.

"After two days of busy work, of course I went to relax." Naruto said naturally.

Work and rest should be combined.

"As the only one who advanced, shouldn't you treat us to a meal?" Leimen chuckled.

Naruto thought for a moment, and that seemed to be what happened, "Let's go, what do you want to eat?"

"Yakiniku? How about it?" Izuno suggested.

"Not bad." At this time, Raimon was of course firmly on the same side as his girlfriend.

"Teacher Hayate, let's go too." Naruto looked at the sick teacher beside him.

"Let me treat you." Yueguang Qifeng coughed twice, "Xiyan just has a rest these two days."

"At any rate, as your teacher, Naruto's promotion banquet is still for me."

"Okay." "Yeah!" "How embarrassing."

None of the three objected.

Who doesn't love a big butcher!

The remuneration of ninjas is not low, especially Jonin.

Gekko Hayate and Uozuki Yuugao, both are jounin, one of them is still working in the ANBU, and they are both hidden tycoons.

"Are you sure you don't need to go back and clean it?" Yueguang Haifeng asked with a smile.

The three of them looked down and saw that it was true.

Except for Naruto, both of them had become ragged, black and white due to the fight just now.

"I'll wait for you at the barbecue shop first."

……

Commercial street, outside the barbecue restaurant.

Naruto pushed aside the curtain and walked into the shop.

"Naruto?"

Before he could find the location of Yue Guang Feng and his wife, he heard someone calling him and turned to look.

"Shikamaru? You also come to the dinner party." Naruto looked at Choji who was eating wildly with his head down, and smiled slightly.

Compared with other teams, Class 's results can be described as brilliant. Shikamaru, Ino, and Choji all advanced.

"It's quite troublesome. I wanted to go back and have a good sleep." Shikamaru sighed slightly, and if the helpless expression on his face was seen by other unsuccessful candidates, it was designated to cause a dispute.

"I said Shikamaru, don't say such frustrating words when you come out for dinner." Ino said angrily, "Isn't one month's rest time enough for you to sleep?"

"A month? Rest time?" Shikamaru sighed helplessly, it would be great if he really had some rest time.

"For the next month, you should practice hard." Naruto smiled slightly, and didn't bother the three of them anymore, because he had already heard the familiar coughing sound.

"How long have you and him known each other?" asked Jonin, the bearded man Asma Sarutobi, the instructor of the tenth class.

"My childhood playmate." Shikamaru clasped his hands on the back of his head and slowly leaned back on the armchair behind him.

"... Phew." Asuma Sarutobi exhaled a puff of smoke and looked at the boy's back, "That guy is very strong."

"Yeah." Shikamaru responded lightly.

"Teacher, Sister Xiyan." Naruto sat opposite the two, it seemed that he was the first to come.

Unlike the sickly, consumptive Yueguang Gaifeng, his girlfriend Uzuki Xiyan is a full-fledged beauty, with long purple hair reaching her waist, a pretty face, and a graceful figure. The existence that makes people step back ten times.

"Your name is called." Yueguang Gaifeng was helpless, obviously he was the same age as Xiyan, but these little ghosts insisted on calling him teacher and Xiyan as sister.

It's like an old cow eating young grass.

"I think it's pretty good." Xiyan covered her mouth and smiled.

Moonlight Gale is not every time his girlfriend asks for leave, he skips work.

From time to time, he would bring his girlfriend along to give guidance to the third child, so the two parties were quite familiar with each other.

"Naruto, have you decided on your training direction for this month?" Uzuki Xiyan asked.

She also uses a sword, and Naruto is the one she guides the most among the three primary schools.

"Sister Xiyan, do you have any suggestions?" Naruto shook his head slightly.

The knowledge blockade at this time is very severe.

A genin has the cognitive side of a genin, and a jonin has the cognitive side of a jounin.

But the human-knowledge side of the upper ninja definitely includes the cognitive side of the lower ninja.

Although it is not absolute, for example, if a family ninja or an elder holds a high position, it is possible to boast of knowledge at a certain stage.

Coincidentally, he doesn't belong to either.

"Your chakra attribute is wind, right?" Xi Yan asked.

"Yes." Naruto nodded slightly as he recalled the test that Moonlight Hayate had done for them some time ago.

"Naruto, did you know that for a ninja with a sword, wind and thunder are the best attributes."

Saying that, Uzuki Xiyan sighed slightly.

Noticing Naruto's puzzled look, Moonlight Hayate explained: "Xiyan's main attribute is water, and the wind attribute was something she cultivated later on, so relatively speaking, there is something missing."

"Because the most significant property change of the wind attribute is cutting, just like this..."

Yueguang Jiefeng picked up a chopstick, and there was a soft "buzz" sound, and the chopsticks were wrapped in a light blue chakra.

Naruto frowned because he felt a 'sharp' feeling from this chopstick.

[Is this the method of the ninja level...]

"Teacher, can you explain carefully?" Naruto asked.

"Yes, the reason why the nature and form changes of chakra are not released to the genin is actually for your own good." Moonlight Hayate nodded slightly, preaching the truth and solving doubts, this is what he should do.

"Why?" Naruto asked inexplicably, just a change in the nature of the wind attribute can greatly enhance the strength of a ninja.

The improvement of basic strength is beneficial to a village, but not harmful.

"Two reasons." Uzuki Xiyan raised two fair fingers.

"First, the amount of chakras of the ninja is very limited. Whether it is the change of the nature of practice or the change of form, a large amount of chakra is needed as support."

"In addition, in fact, the ninjutsu you usually use more or less contains some changes in chakra, and the proportion and number are different."

"Start with simple ninjutsu and progress step by step. After reaching a certain stage, the practice of the two changes will naturally follow."

Naruto nodded slightly, this is the importance of knowledge.

Perhaps for the two of them, these are just common sense, but for him, it may be something that requires a lifetime of exploration, or a certain detour, before he can understand it.

"They're here, I'll take you to practice after eating!" Uzuki said with great interest.

Maybe it's a woman's nature.

Compared with Anbu's work, she prefers the feeling of educating children.

Naruto turned to look and saw Izuno and Raimon walking side by side.

"late."

"Sorry, sorry, hehe..."

While apologizing, Kaminarimon pulled his girlfriend to sit down in the empty seat.
