Travel through Konoha and open treasure chests

I have to say that Uncle Yile's craftsmanship is indeed good.

Before the noodles are even out of the pot, a strong meaty aroma emanates from the soup pot and permeates the small shop, making people unable to help but move their index fingers.

Xiao Xianglan salivated, and Bai Mingyu also swallowed quietly.

At this time, Naruto next to him suddenly put down his bowls and chopsticks, stopped eating noodles, and looked straight at Bai Mingyu and Xiang Lu.

"What's wrong"

Bai Mingyu felt a little hairy when he looked at him.

"Well, don't you think what I just said was a bit too much?" Naruto scratched his head, as if he wanted to speak but didn't know how to describe it: "I have mentioned these things in front of others before about becoming Hokage or something like that." At that time, they didn’t quite believe it.”

"What's the difference between being a human being without dreams and a salted fish?"

Bai Mingyu smiled and said lightly: "Being Hokage? Which boy who grew up in Konoha has not had this idea? How can he be sure of what will happen in the future now?"

Naruto also grinned, his eight teeth shining brightly, "Yeah, well, although I don't quite understand what I heard, I still feel that you are right. Sure enough, I still have the potential to be the Hokage."

Well, as the strongest user of the Mouth Escape Technique in all of Hokage, and the most powerful illusion of the Will of Fire, which is second only to the third generation in terms of brainwashing effect on people, he certainly has the potential to become Hokage.

Bai Mingyu smiled and did not continue talking.

But while he was silent, Naruto opened up his chatterbox and started talking:

"Hey, Bai Yu, Xiang Lu, are you from outside the village? This is my first time meeting people from other villages."

"Are there ninjas in the Land of Grass? What are your villages like?"

"Xiang Phosphorus, why is your hair red? It always looks so familiar. It seems like I have seen this kind of hair somewhere."

"How about we go out to play together after dinner later? I know there is a fun place in Konoha. You must have never been to it."

While waiting for the ramen to be served, Naruto kept chattering, which made Xiang Ling impatient. He slapped the table and said with a fierce expression on his face: "Can you calm down for a while? Brother Bai Yu and I both I haven’t eaten yet, I’m about to starve to death, how can I have the heart to listen to you, Barabala?”

""

Naruto was startled and quickly shut his mouth.

Seeing this, Bai Mingyu smiled apologetically.

He could understand Naruto's current state of mind. This child, who lost his parents at birth and grew up as a Nine-Tailed Jinchuuriki, has endured indifference and injustice from all aspects in the village since he was a child. He grew up alone, with the exception of probably the Third Hokage and Uncle Ichiraku. A few people who could listen to him calmly.

Regarding his so-called "becoming Hokage", he treated it as a fantasy, either sneered at it, ridiculed it, or simply ignored it.

It was rare to find an audience who was willing to listen to his chatter, and Naruto's excitement was palpable.

In just a few words, he quickly revealed all his secrets.

From the books I usually like to read, to some experiences in the village, and finally even the little secret of falling in love at first sight with a certain pink-haired girl in the village.

Bai Mingyu was stunned when he heard this.

"I guess, this Taima is only a few years old, and he has already started to have a crush on Sakura. If in the previous life on earth, a child of this age would probably still wear crotchless pants and play in the mud in the kindergarten."

Even if children in the Naruto world are generally precocious, this is a bit exaggerated.

After drinking the last sip of ramen soup, Bai Mingyu wiped his mouth and pressed a banknote under the bowl.

He stood up and left the ramen shop, followed by Kosovo and Naruto.

"We had a lot of fun chatting today, but it's getting late, so you should go home." Bai Mingyu looked back at Naruto.

"Well, goodbye then, Bai Yu, and Xiang Phosphorus."

Naruto waved his hand, looking somewhat reluctant to leave. It seems that this little guy really doesn't have many friends, otherwise he wouldn't have such an obvious liking for Bai Mingyu and Xiang Lu just because of a chance encounter.

Of course, this is also because Bai Mingyu and Xiang Ling seem to be children of similar age to him. If they were adults, Naruto might not open up so easily. After all, to him, most of the adults in the village had malicious intentions.

Bai Mingyu turned around after watching the short figure disappear into the building.

"Let's go."

After sending Xiang Phosphorus home, Bai Mingyu did not go home. Instead, he went into the house to get a weight-bearing vest, put it on, and walked out of the village again.

It's still early before bedtime, so I can still do a little exercise to digest while I've just finished eating.

After jogging all the way to an open forest outside the village, Bai Mingyu took a deep breath and began to practice seriously.

The first was shuriken throwing and entry-level sword skills. These two skills were discovered by him and he had been practicing them when he lived in the Country of Grass.

Because I was short of money, I used wooden knives for practice before.

Although he did not intend to become a top swordsman like Konoha White Fang or Mifune, but considering that he might be able to use a Teigu Murasame or a supreme sword or other weapons in the future, he still honed his sword honestly. Technique, hold a long knife in both hands and chop over and over again, practicing the speed and strength of swinging the knife.

After 500 sword swings, the Sixth Marine Style and Fire Palm are next.

These two skills consume more physical energy. Bai Mingyu had to practice for a while and stop until the moon was above the willow branches. Then he wiped off his sweat and walked back under the stars.

At the same time, inside a certain room in the Hokage Building.

The old-looking Third Hokage had his hands crossed in front of his chin, a pipe in his mouth, looking at the picture in the crystal ball in front of him, muttering something silently.

"Asakawa Hakuha?"

The Third Hokage didn't go home in the middle of the night and hid here to peek. It was not a temporary act.

It was because of the recent arrival of the delegation from the Kingdom of Thunder that I had some extra official duties. After finishing the paperwork, I took a peek at my disciple's son, Uzumaki Naruto, to see if this kid was up to any other mischief.

But he didn't expect to see Bai Mingyu in the crystal ball.

In the past few days since Bai Mingyu and his mother and daughter arrived in Konoha Village, the Third Hokage has sent ANBU to the Country of Grass to verify the previous living conditions of several people. Some of the news has been sent back via carrier pigeons.

Judging from the information, there is no problem with the backgrounds of the three people. Needless to say, Uzumaki Miya and Xiang Ling are confirmed to be the orphans of the Uzumaki clan. Among them, Koso's father was also a member of the Uzumaki clan and was accidentally killed in the Third Ninja War a few years ago.

And this child named Asakawa Baiyu also had an innocent life experience because his parents were murdered by bandits and he became an orphan. There are many such children in any country, and Konoha has taken in many of them.

However, Naruto has a special status after all. He is the Nine-Tailed Jinchuuriki of Konoha, and there are many people who want to get close to him with various intentions.

In order to avoid a recurrence of disaster, there are some things that must be taken into consideration.

Compared to these

"Those guys from Yunyin Village came here at this time, I'm afraid it's not a good thing. I hope they can stay safe and don't cause trouble."

The camera switched to another location. The Third Hokage looked at the hotel where the Kumoyin Village delegation was staying in the crystal ball and sighed secretly.
