Reborn Naruto: Starting with its own system

However, the ninjas from other ninja villages were in a tough fight.

Their ninjutsu hit the stone statues like an ant trying to shake a tree, only creating a few sparks, and the damage to the army was completely negligible.

Although they were extremely anxious, they were helpless and could only dodge the attacks of the stone statues with difficulty, desperately looking for a possible turning point.

Finally, after some intense and serious discussions, several leaders reached a unanimous decision: from now on, the priestess Shion must be escorted to the sealed shrine without delay.

However, Ashie was concerned about Shion's safety, and without waiting for the leaders to make further arrangements, he began to actively mobilize the guards to participate in the escort.

In his opinion, one more person would mean one more protection for Ziyuan.

Naruto and the others looked at the busy Ashie with helplessness on their faces.

They knew clearly that ordinary guards would be like a mantis trying to stop a chariot when facing such a powerful enemy as the Four Ghosts, and would have no power to resist.

But they were unable to stop him. After all, Ashie's starting point was also for Shion's safety. Everyone had the same goal, but they just adopted different methods.

However, everything Ashie did and thought was seen by the clever Shion.

She knew very well that this operation would not succeed just by having a large number of people. If she brought a group of ordinary guards, they might become a burden and cause unnecessary casualties.

So, after careful consideration, Shion came quietly to Naruto and others alone.

Her eyes were determined, without the slightest hesitation, and she did not lead any guards behind her.

In this way, they set out on the journey to the Sealed Ancestral Hall.

In order to speed up the journey, Naruto used the summoning technique. After a puff of smoke, Goku's huge body appeared in front of everyone.

Goku's figure is as majestic as a mountain, and his broad back is enough to easily accommodate eight people including Shion and Naruto.

Everyone quickly climbed onto Wukong's back, ready to use its power to quickly reach the Sealed Shrine. Wukong also let out a powerful roar, as if responding to everyone's expectations, and then ran away, raising a cloud of dust.

Along the way, Miss Shion's tsundere nature was fully displayed.

Whether it's being picky about the itinerary or scolding Naruto and the others for their occasional careless behavior, her temper as a spoiled princess is fully revealed.

However, she occasionally showed concern for everyone, and there was a hint of tenderness hidden in her arrogance.

Whenever she encountered some small troubles, Shion would frown and mutter non-stop, and her dissatisfied expression was like a child who couldn't get his favorite toy.

The night was as dark as ink, quietly covering the earth.

On this quiet night, Naruto started grilling with great interest.

As he poked at the charcoal fire, it flickered with cheerful light, and sparks flew up from time to time, as if it was also excited about the delicious food that was about to come out of the oven.

Neji frowned slightly and said depressedly: "Naruto, aren't you exposing yourself too much? We can't let our guard down now."

His eyes scanned the darkness around him vigilantly, as if unknown danger might jump out of the shadows at any time.

Naruto, however, didn't care, with that familiar smile on his face, and responded nonchalantly: "Why are you panicking? I'm here! Besides, don't you want to eat? Can you stand this taste?"

As he spoke, he deliberately picked up a skewer of sizzling barbecued meat and shook it in front of Neji. The tempting aroma instantly spread.

Neji swallowed deeply subconsciously, a trace of struggle flashing in his eyes.

Yes, Naruto’s cooking was their comfort after countless hard battles, and they hadn’t eaten it for two years.

That unique taste was like a key that opened the door to his deep memory of friendship and happy times between passionate battles.

Every time I taste the food Naruto bakes, it feels like a spiritual relaxation. All the complicated emotions and intense battle pressure can disappear in the delicious taste on the tip of my tongue.

Xiao Li couldn't hold back any longer, and hugged Neji, shouting excitedly: "Ningci, don't worry! With Naruto here, everything will be fine. And the smell of this barbecue is like a ninjutsu that attracts me, I can't wait!"

As he spoke, his eyes were fixed on the golden roasted food, his face full of impatience.

Sakura was helping Naruto with a smile on her face, her eyes moving between Naruto and Sasuke, as if time had gone back to the good old days when they went on missions together.

The days of fighting side by side and the moments of supporting each other slowly spread in my heart along with the smell of barbecue.

Kimimaro and Sasuke sat cross-legged, looking focused, practicing every minute.

Sasuke was holding back his energy, he knew very well that Naruto's growth rate was like a rocket, although catching up with him was as difficult as climbing to the sky, he must not fall behind in this pursuit of strength.

The same is true for Kimimaro. He doesn't want to become a stumbling block on Naruto's path forward, so he gives his all in every training session.

Since Sai joined Team 7 later, he still felt a little unfamiliar with Naruto and the others, so he sat alone.

But his throat, which swallowed unconsciously, betrayed his heart. The tempting barbecue aroma kept drilling into his nose. He tried hard to restrain himself, but the desire in his eyes was hard to conceal.

Only Shion was standing quietly under a tree not far away, looking at the lively scene with complicated eyes, wondering what she was thinking.

Half an hour later, the aroma of barbecue had become as strong as substance, filling the entire camp.

Naruto put the grilled food on plates and greeted everyone loudly.

Xiao Li rushed over cheering, grabbed a few skewers and stuffed them into his mouth, praising them incoherently while eating.

Neji shook his head helplessly and picked up the food to eat.

Sakura smiled and brought a plate of grilled food to Sasuke and Kimimaro, asking them to eat something before continuing their training.

Sasuke took it without hesitation, and Kimimaro nodded slightly to express his gratitude.

Sai looked at everyone from the side and approached slowly, feeling somewhat embarrassed.

And Shion seemed to be infected by the lively atmosphere, but she still did not move.

While eating heartily, Rock Lee said to Neji, "I told you, having food is the most important thing." Neji rolled his eyes at him but did not stop his hands.

Sakura looked at the lively scene with a look of satisfaction in her eyes. She turned to look at Sai, "Come and eat too." Sai came over shyly, picked up a skewer, and whispered "thank you".

Naruto slowly turned his gaze to Shion, the smile in his eyes like the twinkling stars in the night sky.

He smiled slightly, and the corners of his mouth raised with a hint of tenderness.

Then he took a plate of food and slowly walked towards Shion.
