Naruto: I have shed my snake skin and become a dragon!

The person pacing back and forth outside the courtyard gate was none other than Nara Tōkō. The two had just met in the morning, but they didn't expect to see him again now.

Nara Tori was covered in mud, there were many dried grass blades on his clothes, and there were many dried mud spots on his face that he had not wiped off.

"Hey, young master, it's me."

Nara Tori smiled naively and scratched his head.

Lu Ye was already a little helpless towards him: "Tell me, what happened this time?"

Nara Tōto cupped his hands: "Young master, I have already obtained the mud from the bottom of the lake, but I don't know how to prepare ointment, so I want to ask you if you can?"

Luye glanced at him angrily: "I knew you couldn't do it, come in."

After saying that, Shikano turned and walked towards the yard, but Nara Tori was still standing at the door.

"Why don't you come in?"

"Oh oh oh, here comes the young master!"

Nara Tori ran all the way to Shikano's side.

The two of them came to the pavilion in the yard and sat down together.

"Take out all the medicinal materials and mud."

After taking Yuanying, he immediately took out the packaged cicada grass and pomelo catkins from his arms, and then placed a box of lake bottom mud on the table.

The medicinal materials need to be ground into powder, and there happens to be a stone mill in Luye's yard. After putting the medicinal materials in, they start crushing them manually.

"By the way, is your friend a boy or a girl?"

After hearing this, Quyuan's face turned red: "Back to the young master, she is a woman."

Luye was not surprised: "My first guess is, how can a grown man be worth your trouble? You are borrowing money and going to the lake at the same time."

When Lu Ye said this, Qi Yuan's face turned even redder, and he hesitated when he spoke: "Also... I still have to thank the young master... If you hadn't helped me pay in advance, I'm afraid I would have had to wait for a while."

"Is your friend in a hurry? The third elder will pay you next week. It's only seven days. You should be able to wait."

Qiu Yuan looked at Lu Ye: "She will be eighteen next week, and I don't want her coming-of-age ceremony to have such regrets."

Tori's eyes were scorching and sincere. Luye was a little moved by him. He had to say that it was pure love.

"I understand, I understand you very well."

"Thank you, young master."

After a while, the cicada grass and pomelo catkins were ground into fine powder, and then Luye began to deal with the mud again.

As soon as I opened the lid, a stench hit my face.

But neither of them had any reaction. Luye took out some silt, briefly filtered it, and removed the excess water.

I poured the herbal powder in, stirred constantly, and soon the ointment took shape.

The mud, which originally had a rancid smell, started to smell fragrant after being mixed with herbs.

Luye walked into the house, took out a clean glass jar, and put the mixed ointment in it.

"Look, it's done. This is the finished ointment."

Looking at the ointment in the jar, Nara Tori was very excited and thanked Lu Ye repeatedly.

"Okay, okay, your thank you is too worthless. Come on, take me to see your friend."

Nara Tōyuan was a little surprised after hearing this: "Young Master, are you going too?"

"You and I are free, let's go and take a look. The dosage and technique are also very important. Do you know all of this?"

Qu Yuan shook his head.

"That's it, let's go, let's go."

Luye was worried about how to practice his social skills, and this idiot came to his door.

And Nara Kaoru left the Nara tribe with Luye in such a confused manner.

The two of them walked like this for a long time, Lu Ye suddenly said.

"I said go far away."

"Ah? What do you want the young master to do?"

"Do you think I know the way to your friend's house?"

"You definitely don't know this, and you haven't been there either," Nara Tori said.

"Then why don't you come forward and lead the way! What's wrong with following me!"

After Lu Ye yelled like this, Qi Yuan realized his problem and immediately ran to Lu Ye's side.

"Hey, I'm sorry, young master, I'm used to it."

Luye shook his head helplessly: "You, we are all a family, don't be so condescending."

When Toriyuan heard Luye say that they were a family, he felt very happy and had a smile on his face: "Be sure to pay attention next time!"

"Well, that's right, lead the way."

The two walked through the main street of Konoha Village and arrived at what the major families called the 'civilian area'.

But in fact, there is no such thing as civilians in Konoha Village. It's just that the big families say so in order to highlight their identities.

The streets and alleys here are intricate, and at every alley entrance there are old men sitting and chatting, or gathering around to play chess.

Very lively.

Luye rarely sees such a scene because he never had the chance to come here before.

There was such a memory in the previous life, but it was already blurred.

"It's quite pyrotechnics."

As soon as these words came out, he felt as if he had met a close friend: "Young Master, do you think so too? I have always felt that this place is much more lively than the family, and there are not so many rules."

Luye nodded: "Yes, I like it here very much."

Qu Yuan smiled knowingly: "You are really different from the adults in the family, and you are also different from the second young master."

"How to say?"

"You have no airs and feel very close to me. Although the second young master is also very gentle, he always feels inaccessible."

Luye put his hands behind his head: "That's because he wants to inherit the family, and the patriarch needs someone like that. If I'm not the patriarch, naturally I don't need to learn that trick."

"Is that so?"

Along the way, the two chatted a lot more, and the more they chatted, the more they found they had similar interests.

From time to time, Tori also directly calls Shikano by his name.

Lu Ye is not opposed to this, because calling each other names is a normal thing.

All in all, this seems to be the first friend Luye has made in the world of Naruto.

"Young Master, we are here."

Qiyuan stopped in front of a small yard. Luye looked inside and saw that the yard had been cleaned very clean.

Various tools are neatly arranged in the corners, making people feel very comfortable.

"Liya, open the door, I brought a friend!"

The girl in the house heard a familiar voice and looked out the window. The boy was also a familiar person.

He stood up and came to the door of the yard. While opening the door, he said to Qi Yuan outside the door: "Is this the new friend you have made? Please come in."

The door to the yard was opened, and Liya was wearing a black silk scarf on her face, covering her appearance below her nose.

Qiyuan first said hello to Liya, and then asked Luye: "Master, please come in."

Seeing this, Liya asked: "Qiyuan, who is this?"

"This is the son of the leader of our Nara clan, our eldest son."
