Civilian Naruto: Becoming invincible from the Eight Gates

“So annoying~”

On the small path between the woods, Fu, who was leaving the Sand Village, was walking listlessly and suddenly let out a long sigh.

"What's so annoying?" Fu's teammate beside her said in confusion, "Didn't we complete the exam successfully?"

"You are now a Chunin recognized by the five great nations!"

Her teammates' words did not make Fu feel any better.

She doesn't care about the title of Chunin at all!

"You do not understand."

"Yes, yes, I don't understand. You're the only one who understands." The teammate walked away angrily.

Fu sighed again.

She didn't care about boring stuff like the Chunin Exams.

As the Jinchūriki of Takigakure, how could she be considered a mere Chunin Exam? Moreover, her goal was not here.

What she cares about is her business of making friends.

When she left the village and came to the Sand Village with great ambition, her original purpose was to make more friends.

Quickly fill up your 96 vacant friend slots.

I imagined that with my own enthusiasm and friendliness, and the fact that the Chunin Exams attracted many young ninjas from various countries, it should not be too difficult to achieve this goal.

Even if people from other villages are unwilling to be friends with her, at least there are people from Konoha.

Uzumaki Karin and Tenten are her friends, and they must have friends in Konoha.

A friend of a friend is almost the same as a friend.

According to this theory, it should be easy for Konoha's ninjas to become friends.

However, things did not develop as she expected.

This time, in addition to the teacher who led the team, there were a total of six people coming to Konoha.

Haruno Sakura, Yamanaka Ino and Akimichi Chouji. Also Hyuga Neji, Rock Lee and Sai.

Who would have thought that as soon as we met, I would have a passionate exchange with that Haruno Sakura.

After breaking several of Haruno Sakura's ribs in a fit of rage for her friend, even if Fu was a thick-skinned person, she knew that she could forget about making friends.

After all, Yamanaka Ino and Haruno Sakura are teammates, and it is impossible for her to be friends with her under such circumstances.

As for Akimichi Choji, after he found out that Fu didn't have any snacks on her, he never said a word on his own initiative.

On the other team, Hyuga Neji has a cold personality and an aura that keeps strangers away. He doesn't have the temperament to make friends at all.

That pale-faced guy named Sai had a fake smile on his face, but his gloomy temperament made Fu subconsciously dislike him.

The only one left is Rock Lee.

Although the outfit was a bit too strange, the other person's temperament was slightly similar to Suzumiya Musashi, which gave Fu great hope.

She went up to him enthusiastically, intending to make friends.

It failed without a doubt.

She injured Haruno Sakura, Rock Lee's sweetheart.

He didn't challenge her because she was a girl.

Otherwise, he would definitely let this dark-skinned female ninja know the strength of Konoha's Taijutsu ninja!

So, after many days, Fu's goal of making friends has made zero progress.

"Tony, when do you think I can make my next friend?" Fu turned to look at the little black dog Tony on her shoulder and asked pitifully.

"Don't worry." Tony comforted nonchalantly, "You just had bad luck this time."

"The children in Konoha are actually very easy to get along with."

"This was an accident. When you meet other people from Konoha in the future, you will definitely be able to make friends."

Fu asked dejectedly, "Really?"

"Aren't you trying to comfort me?"

"Of course it's true!" Tony nodded his head and said, "Who wouldn't want to make friends with a warm and sunny girl?"

"Okay~" Fu finally felt better.

"I miss Tenten and Karin so much~ I don't know what they are doing, and whether they miss me..."

As she was speaking, Fu's voice suddenly stopped.

Her keen perception allowed her to detect something unusual ahead.

She stopped and looked into the depths of the dense forest ahead.

At the side, two teammates noticed her reaction and stopped as well. As teammates, they knew Fu's situation very well, and the other party's sudden stop was probably because she discovered something.

"What's wrong? Are there enemies ahead?"

Fu shook her head: "I don't know, but there are people in front."

"Two auras at a distance of one hundred meters."

One hundred meters was not far in the dense woods. The two teammates naturally could not sense it, but they trusted Fu's judgment.

A teammate held a kunai in his hand and looked ahead warily: "Who is it! Come out!"

Another teammate also picked up his weapon and stood guard.

"...Haha, you are worthy of being a Jinchūriki." The young man's voice came from far away: "Perception is sharp."

"I wanted to give you a surprise."

As the sound got closer, the two ninjas from Takigakure became more alert.

After a while, a young man with a slicked-back hair and a giant sickle on his shoulder walked out from behind the woods.

"Good evening, everyone! Well, it's not evening yet, but that's okay."

"Don't be so nervous, I'm just saying hello to you." The young man said to several people in a lazy voice.

The two Takigakure ninjas were still on guard.

It was a barren mountain with dense forests and a dim sky. It was hard to say that the sudden appearance of someone at this time was a good thing.

“Hahaha~” Looking at their wary expressions, the young man laughed out loud: “Don’t be so formal.”

"Put down the kunai in your hand. Don't use such a ridiculous thing in front of others to amuse them."

Hearing this, the two ninjas frowned.

"Who the hell are you!? What do you want to do?"

"What are you going to do?" The young man asked as if he was talking to himself: "Guess what?"

"Maybe I want to make friends with you guys."

As soon as the sarcastic words fell, Fu's eyes lit up.

"Really?"

“Hahaha~” the young man laughed, slammed the giant sickle in his hand to the ground with a clang, and said, “Of course.”

Hearing this, Fu immediately became happy.

She said, "I've been out for so long, how is it possible that I don't have any friends!"

She ignored the reminders of her two teammates and skipped to the young man: "My name is Fu, what's your name?"

"My name is Hidan."

A masked middle-aged man suddenly flashed from behind the tree and came in front of Feiduan, saying in a deep and unhappy voice: "Feidan, what are you talking about? Don't waste time."

Feidan complained, "How could I have that?"

"Kakuzu-san, don't be so serious. Isn't it normal to make friends when you go out? Even if they can only be friends for a while."

"Boring." Kakuzu snorted.

Before he could continue, Fu had already stepped in front of her and looked up at him, her big watery eyes full of hope: "Mr. Kakuzu?"

"Is it the Kakuzu who took the enemy's heart?"

"I really want to be friends with you!"

"Uncle, will you be my friend?"

"My fifth friend. Please!"
