Naruto hodgepodge

On a winter morning, the Hidden Leaf Village was covered with a layer of soft snow, and the scenery was beautiful. The sky was still filled with fine snowflakes, adding a bit of tranquility and peace to this cold season. In such weather, most people might choose to hide in their warm homes, but Uzumaki Naruto and Naruko were threatened by a fox to go out for exercise. After drinking a cup of hot milk, they set out on the road to the training ground behind the ninja school.

Naruto was wearing a thick orange sportswear and a bright red scarf around his neck to protect him from the cold wind. Naruko was wearing a warm cotton jacket and furry gloves, and she had no choice but to run closely behind Naruto.

Snowflakes were flying on the road, and the footprints of the two were soon covered by the newly fallen snow. At this moment, a hearty laugh broke the silence around them, and Rock Lee and Might Guy appeared in the sight of Naruto and Naruko with their signature enthusiasm. Rock Lee was wearing light winter clothes, and there were a few drops of sweat on his forehead due to exercise. It was obvious that he had started his morning exercise. Teacher Gai was wearing a heavy cotton coat, but it did not affect his vitality and enthusiasm at all.

"Naruto! What a coincidence!" Lee shouted excitedly. He quickly ran to Naruto, his eyes full of enthusiasm for training. "I have good news for you. I have a new teacher! His name is Might Guy, and he is a very powerful ninja!" Lee's words were full of admiration for his new teacher.

Teacher Kai also ran over and said in his signature loud voice: "Youth is about constantly challenging ourselves. Whether it's a cold winter or a hot summer, it can't stop us from moving forward! Boys, girls, and Xiao Li, let's splash out our youth together and prove our strength with our efforts and sweat!"

So, the four of them joined the team and went to the back mountain to train together. Their names became familiar. Xiao Li and Kai were a well-known passionate team. Their joining made Naruto's training more motivated. Naruto, who was forced by the fox, also followed him. In the snow, they ran, jumped, or accelerated. The snowflakes flew in the air, as if cheering for their efforts.

As the gentle morning light gradually appeared in the sky, the first ray of sunlight penetrated the mist and gently sprinkled every corner of Konoha Village. Naruto stood at the entrance of the training ground. Beside him, Naruto followed with a sad look, and the two said goodbye to the "Youth Duo".

"Teacher Kai, Li, let's go back first!" Naruto waved his hand.

Teacher Kai: "Oh, youth is about constantly challenging yourself and surpassing your limits! Naruto, Naruko, you both did a great job. Youth never gives up!"

Li Ze nodded vigorously and greeted Teacher Kai, with sweat on his face. "Teacher Kai, let's run 50 more laps!"

Teacher Kai continued to run: "Li, keep up."

Xiao Li: “Hi!”

After saying goodbye, Naruto and Naruko went home to get something to eat and start a new day of school.

In class, Teacher Iruka patiently explained the origin and properties of chakra and how to effectively control it. The civilian ninjas who had never been exposed to chakra in the class listened very carefully, their eyes sparkling with the light of knowledge, and they didn't want to miss any details. The other family ninjas listened absent-mindedly, and basically they already knew it.

The courses in the Ninja School are not all boring theoretical courses. After explaining the necessary theoretical knowledge, the teacher will give students a certain amount of free time to let them move freely in the school, practice what they have learned or explore their own interests. During this time, students either discuss their training experience in groups of two or three, or sweat alone on the training ground.

On the playground of Ninja School, groups of students, wearing thick cotton-padded clothes or colorful scarves and gloves, are enjoying the unique fun of winter. Some students choose to stay in the warm classroom, sitting together and sharing stories and snacks with each other; while more students can't hold back their excitement and run outside to play and fight in the snow, have snowball fights, build snowmen, and laugh one after another.

In such a scene, Naruto was walking alone on the path of the campus, and his eyes were inadvertently attracted by the swing under an old tree. The swing stood there alone, swaying gently with the breeze. Naruto's footsteps stopped involuntarily, and a trace of nostalgia flashed in his eyes.

In the memory fragments, this swing was his companion, accompanying him through countless lonely and long days. In the fragments of the ninja school in the memory fragments, he would come here, sit on the swing, look at the distant sky, and bear the loneliness alone.

At this moment, Naruto seemed to be pulled by an invisible force, and walked towards the swing. He sat on it gently, holding the ropes on both sides with both hands. As the swing swung gently, his thoughts drifted to an unknown place. Naruto closed his eyes and took a deep breath of the cold air. The noise around him seemed to be far away from him, leaving only himself, the swing, and those fragmented pictures.

Hinata Hyuga, who was about to go to the training ground at school, was standing in front of a group of naughty kids. A hint of anger flashed in her cold eyes, and she was obviously disturbed by these unwarranted provocations. These kids, probably too bored on weekdays, wanted to find some fun, and Hinata Hyuga's unique white eyes seemed to have become an object of ridicule in their eyes.

"Are you the daughter of the Hyuga family? Just roll your eyes at us." A naughty child said in a provocative tone, and the children around him followed suit, with a bit of malice in their laughter.

"If you don't want to, don't come towards us." Another child added unwillingly, as if Hinata Hyuga's existence itself was a mistake.

"That look is so creepy." Someone whispered, revealing the fear of the unknown in his words.

"Hmph, it's basically a monster." Some people even made rude remarks, comparing Hyuga Hinata to a monster.

"You are a white-eyed monster!" These words were like a sharp blade, piercing Hinata Hyuga's heart.

The noise woke Naruto up, and he slowly opened his eyes. He was just thinking on the swing beside him, but he accidentally witnessed this scene. Looking at the familiar figure of Hinata Hyuga and the malicious children around her, Naruto felt that the scene in front of him was very familiar.

Just as Naruto was about to get up and do something, Hyuga Hinata had already responded.

"Okay, let me show you." As soon as she finished speaking, her eyes suddenly opened, her white eyes opened instantly, a layer of transparent lines appeared around her eyes, and then an invisible air wave spread out from her center to the surroundings. The naughty kids were shocked by this sudden force and retreated again and again. Some were even directly shocked several meters away and fell to the ground, looking very embarrassed.

"Wow!" The children were so scared that they started crying and crawled away from the scene, falling down as they ran. The scene was both funny and heartbreaking.

Hyuga Hinata didn't look at them again, but just glanced at Naruto on the swing. Then, she turned and left the training ground, leaving only her back.

Naruto murmured as he looked at Hinata Hyuga's receding back. "She's so strong!" At this moment, the Kurama in his body suddenly broke the silence and said in Naruto's consciousness with its unique low voice: "Naruto, her eyes seem unusual."

Naruto's heart tightened when he heard this, and he quickly asked, "Why is it unusual? Is there anything special?"

Jiu Lama pondered for a moment, as if he was carefully recalling his feelings just now: "It's very faint, but I feel like there's something more. I've never felt such a contradictory feeling before. Her eyes seem to contain some untapped power, or... potential."

Naruto's curiosity was completely aroused, and he asked, "Well, you are quite concerned about her. Is she really important in the future you are talking about?"

Kurama didn't know what to say. In fact, the occasional attention was only because she was Naruto's wife. Then there was a hint of helplessness in his tone: "I just haven't seen such a situation, so I paid more attention to it. As for whether she will be important in the future, it depends on your own choice. I'm just curious."

After saying this, Kurama didn't seem to want to discuss this topic any further. It gently severed the mental connection with Naruto and returned to its sleeping state.

Naruto stood there, thinking about Kurama's words. He always felt that there was something else behind his words. What is my choice? What a strange fox.

“Why are you sitting here alone?”

Toneri originally intended to follow Hinata Hyuga's direction, but then he thought that this was considered secretly following her, so he paused. But just as he gave up the idea because of his own thoughts, he turned around and his eyes happened to fall on the lonely figure on the swing not far away. He was also alone, and he had inherited many memories that he could not understand, and he was also a child. After hesitating for a moment, Toneri, who had nothing to do, decided to approach and break the silence.

Naruto raised his head, looking away from the distant scenery, and turned to look at Toneri. He smiled softly. "Nothing special, I just like to stay like this quietly sometimes, look at the sky, think about things, it makes me feel good." Naruto said, looking at the distant sky again, as if he was avoiding something.

Toneri nodded, as if he understood Naruto's loneliness. "Really? I'll try it, too." He said as he sat down on the swing next to Naruto, bringing them closer.

"What about you? Why are you here?" Naruto turned around and asked Toneri curiously. He noticed that Toneri was not the kind of person who liked to join in the fun, so it was a surprise to meet him here.

Sheren smiled and pointed forward. "I wanted to go in that direction, but then I decided not to go there anymore. Then I didn't know where to go, so I ended up here."

Naruto nodded thoughtfully after hearing this. "Indeed, everyone is looking for their own way. Sometimes, loneliness is also a kind of growth."

In the following time, the two of them just sat quietly on the swing and looked into the distance. No one spoke, but their relationship went from strangers to acquaintance.

Snowflakes fell lightly on them. In this cold weather, two lonely souls found comfort in each other because of an accidental encounter.

In the classroom, he heard a bunch of crazy female classmates saying "Sasuke is so handsome", while the cool Sasuke looked aloof, but the little red cloud on his face betrayed him. Seeing Sasuke being very popular with the female classmates, the unhappy Ya walked towards Sasuke confidently with a slightly unconvinced expression, with a spark of challenge in his eyes, and began to provoke him verbally, trying to provoke Sasuke to fight with him.

However, Sasuke just smiled and agreed, and then his movements were smooth and precise, and in almost the blink of an eye, he easily knocked Kiba to the ground. Akamaru also "woofed" at Kiba, as if laughing at his arrogance. This scene instantly attracted the attention of the whole class. The female classmates exclaimed, "So handsome!" "Sasuke is so amazing!" "Sasuke is a genius" and their eyes were full of admiration and love for Sasuke.

Shikamaru, who was lying on his side, looked at Kiba's embarrassing look and whispered, "That idiot."

Shikamaru continued eating his potato chips indifferently.

The undefeated god of war Shino, who had no sense of existence, just glanced at him casually.

Sai, who was standing by, was stronger than Sasuke at this stage. He looked at the fallen Kiba and said with a smile: "You can't beat him."

"Damn it, that bastard attacked me." Ya, who had crawled out from the ground, was unwilling to accept it, but knowing he couldn't win, he stopped provoking him.

Sasuke stood there with his signature "cool" expression on his face, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, as if everything was under his control. Kiba, on the other hand, lay on the ground, humming angrily, his eyes showing both unwillingness and recognition of Sasuke's strength.

At this moment, Ino, as one of the many crazy female classmates, keenly noticed that there were only three girls in the class who were not in Sasuke's cheerleading team, Hinata who was not in the classroom, Naruko who was lying down and sleeping, and Sakura who was reading a book on the table. She noticed that although Sakura was moved by Sasuke's heroic appearance like other girls at first, her cheeks flushed slightly, she quickly regained her composure and turned to reading seriously. This unique concentration made Ino feel both surprised and curious.

So, Ino gently pulled herself out of the group of crazy fans and walked towards Sakura with a gentle smile. She gently pulled out a chair and sat next to Sakura, as if she was afraid to disturb this rare tranquility.

"Sakura, why didn't you shout with everyone? Sasuke is really handsome." There was a hint of teasing in Ino's words, but more of it was concern for her friend.

Sakura looked up, glanced at Ino, and then quickly turned her gaze back to the book, a smile inadvertently appearing at the corner of her mouth. "Yeah, but I also have my own things to do, and I can't always be distracted by these things."

In this way, the two began a conversation in their own little world in a corner of the classroom. Surrounded by the noise and cheers of their classmates, their world seemed particularly warm because of each other.
