Naruto: Uzumaki Menma walks out of the infinite moon reading

Time keeps passing by in the step-by-step practice.

In a blink of an eye, Naruto and Sasuke came to graduation!

However, for the two of them, this is just a matter of process.

Naruto was wearing black slacks, a white shirt and a black jacket, with a gentle smile on his face.

Sasuke, who was walking side by side, was wearing a very sexy slim-fitting coat with the clan emblem on it, and his expressionless face was full of coldness.

Some of the uncles and grandmothers who wanted to talk to Naruto kept away from him, but this did not affect the people on the road who cast their surprised and friendly glances.

Naruto smiled politely at the glances from the people around him, while Sasuke didn't care much.

"Naruto, why do you have to use your true body to take the exam?" Sasuke asked with a cold face, "You should be able to pass the exam just by relying on the clone, right?"

"Don't tell me that you still want to play childish games with those brats."

The change in nature of Naruto's Wind Release Chakra has reached its peak.

The two people were surrounded by air currents, which blocked the sound, but they were not afraid of passers-by hearing them.

And Sasuke is now not far away from completely mastering Mt. Myoboku's Sage Mode.

In addition, he also learned a lot from Kakashi about the changes in the nature of Thunder Release Chakra.

In the past two years, Naruto and Sasuke have been taught by Jiraiya, and Kakashi will be brought in as free labor from time to time.

Despite this, Jiraiya was almost drained by these two little monsters.

In order to prevent himself from losing his dignity as a teacher in the end, Jiraiya has recently begun to tell the two of them about his experiences traveling in the ninja world.

From Sasuke's point of view, Naruto was the only monster in the entire Konoha Village who was infinitely stronger than himself. He was no longer the brat who only hugged Onisan's thighs and acted coquettishly.

There is absolutely no need to waste time on a small genin exam.

For them, the only benefit of graduation is that they can leave the village.

But Naruto smiled noncommittally when he heard this.

"Sasuke, you have become impetuous again recently. This will affect your practice in sage mode. This is not your temperament."

Naruto reached out and pressed Sasuke's shoulder, and asked meaningfully: "Did you find something?"

Sasuke's steps paused slightly, but he still suppressed the annoyance in his heart and gently patted Naruto's arm on his shoulder.

"……nothing."

As expected, nothing can be hidden from this guy Naruto.

Sasuke did go to Nanga Shrine some time ago, and he also saw the stone tablet there.

With his current eye power, he can see more things.

It is clearly recorded on that stone tablet that if you want to obtain the eternal Mangekyō Sharingan, you need to plunder the Mangekyō Sharingan belonging to your blood relatives and fuse the power of two pairs of Mangekyō Sharingan.

Therefore, Sasuke was shaken by what he believed in before.

He began to suspect that that man might have really not killed him because he was pursuing more powerful eye power.

This idea was like a bud planted in his heart, constantly growing and spreading, like a pair of big hands holding his heart tightly.

However, after spending time with Naruto and practicing in Sage Mode, his original extreme personality has gradually changed a lot.

"Since you don't want to tell me, I won't ask."

Naruto shrugged and smiled slightly: "I believe you will make the right choice and decision."

Hearing this, Sasuke glanced at Naruto with some depression.

Why does it feel like this guy is more confident than himself.

never mind.

The worst case scenario was to find that man, beat him half to death, and then question him about the truth behind the genocide.

"...Naruto, I have always had a doubt."

Sasuke took a deep breath and looked at the boy next to him with complex eyes: "You obviously know your life experience, so why... never tell others?"

Whether it was before Sarutobi Hiruzen disclosed Naruto's life experience or after he disclosed it, he never mentioned it.

Sasuke still remembers the day he saw Naruto for the first time.

He was holding the man's hand and saw Naruto in the crowd at a glance.

He was obviously in a lively and bustling neighborhood, but the kid lowered his head, as if he was isolated from the whole world.

The smell of loneliness can be smelled even through the crowd.

If Naruto proves to everyone that his father is the Fourth Hokage and that he is the son of a hero, the situation of being ostracized will definitely change, right?

"If you have to give a reason..."

Naruto's smile faded a bit, and after a moment of silence he said calmly: "If no one has the will to know the truth, even if the truth is spread on the streets, it will not sprout."

Sasuke's breathing stagnated slightly, and his expression became more complicated: "So you just kept it in your heart... and didn't even tell me?"

"It is actually very rude to reveal your scars to others without permission."

Naruto glanced at him with a half-smile, and turned his head again before a blush rose on his face: "Forcing others to know stories they don't need to know will only cause trouble to the disciples."

“Sharing your misfortune only makes it seem like you’re showing off the weight of your baggage.”

As he spoke, Naruto put his hands on the back of his head and looked at the blue sky and white clouds above his head: "Maybe it can win some sympathy, but it will definitely make people feel unhappy."

"Express sadness appropriately, express joy appropriately, accept others appropriately, and accept separation appropriately, someone once said to me."

Sasuke couldn't help being stunned when he heard this: "Who?"

"Hmm." Naruto touched his chin, pondered for a moment, and smiled, "Half-mother, half-brother, half-brother?"

………………

"Menma-nii."

Little Naruto was sitting at the desk, suddenly looked up at the man in front of him, and asked hesitantly: "If there is a child who is always alone and no one plays with him, is it because he is bad and weird? "

"Of course not." The man put down the book in his hand and smiled slightly: "Naruto, you have to know that not being chosen by others is not a wrong or bad thing."

"People are all different and have all kinds of complex desires. They are not chosen just because their wishes cannot be fulfilled by you."

"Oh~"

Little Naruto nodded his head in understanding, and continued to ask with some confusion and uneasiness: "Just like I like Grandpa Third Generation, because he is very kind and he is the only person besides Menma-san who is willing to help me. ”

"But, I want him to like me all the time. I'm afraid that one day he will hate me like everyone else. If he is hated by those kind people, isn't it my fault?"

Hearing this, the man couldn't help but froze, staring into those ignorant blue eyes.

After a moment, he laughed, stretched out his hand and ruffled Naruto's hair, and said in a gentle tone: "Kid, why do you think so?"

"Even if you are hated by others, it is because you did not do what others expected, or you did not live how they wanted you to live. It is not your own fault."

Little Naruto's golden hair was ruffled, and he pursed his lips and said, "But I'm still afraid of being disliked by others, especially you and the third generation grandfather. I like you very much."

"Really?" Looking at the dejected little Naruto, the man paused his movements and sighed slightly: "In order to make other people like you, does it not matter if you don't be yourself or lose yourself?"

"Then..." Little Naruto hesitated for a moment and asked cautiously, "What about those who choose to be themselves?"

"It will be very happy."

The man smiled slightly and continued, "I will never be kidnapped by anything, live only for my own wishes, love those who are worthy of my love and who truly love me, and even loneliness will become happy."

"This is the gift of fate to those who are sincere to themselves and others."

"Really?"

"Of course." The man nodded firmly and looked down into those blue eyes, "There will definitely be fewer and fewer real friends."

"Don't care about what you have lost. What you should really care about is who is left by your side. Express sadness appropriately, express joy appropriately, accept others appropriately, and accept separation appropriately."

………………

"Naruto?"

"Huh?" Naruto came back to his senses and looked at Sasuke beside him, "What's wrong?"

"You didn't listen to me!"

"Sorry, sorry." Naruto's apology was without sincerity.

Sasuke glared at him and repeated angrily: "Let me tell you, who do you think the last member of our team is?"

Without even thinking about it, the two of them would definitely be assigned to the same team, and the leading jounin would probably be either Kakashi Hatake or Jiraiya.

But Sasuke couldn't think of anyone else who was worthy of being on their team?

"The last person?" Naruto did not answer, but showed an interesting smile and asked, "Who do you think it will be?"

"I think none of them are worthy." Sasuke sneered, "If I had to choose one, I would probably choose the eldest sister of the Hyuga clan... oh, the eldest lady."

Although Hinata Hinata gave him a very strange feeling, the opponent's actual combat level was definitely not weaker than his own.

——The premise is that he does not use the sage mode and only relies on physical strength and physical skills.

If you want to talk about the only shortcoming of that young lady...

Sasuke touched his cheek, feeling that it was still aching.

In last week's practical class, he and Hinata fought.

I originally wanted to try the "naked choke" that Naruto taught me.

As a result, as soon as she was close to her body, Hinata seemed to be a different person.

A big sinus fanned directly over.

Then he was slapped to death by his shadow clone.

"I don't think it will be Hinata."

Naruto stretched out his index finger and shook it, making Sasuke stunned for a moment.

Who else?

Naruto admired Sasuke's confused expression and then said, "The last member should be Haruno Sakura."

"Haruno Sakura? That nymphomaniac? Is she worthy enough?" Sasuke frowned fiercely, and a strange color flashed in his eyes.

"Don't say that." Naruto spread his hands and said casually, "Haruno Sakura has some merits, right?"

Sasuke subconsciously asked: "What are the advantages?"

"Ah?" Naruto couldn't help but froze, and then the corners of his mouth twitched, "Um...um...hiss..."

"..."

Naruto and Sasuke stared at each other, and even Naruto was silent for a moment.

It seems like it's really useless.

Haruno Sakura's theoretical knowledge is quite good, but she is not even ranked among the top three in their class.

Naruto, Sasuke, and Hinata, the three of them have long occupied the top three positions in the same period.

Moreover, Haruno Sakura's actual combat level is even lower than that of a genin, barely reaching the level of a genin who can master the Three Body Technique.

In addition, on weekdays, Haruno Sakura often looked at Sasuke's shadow clone and was distracted by love, which led to Sasuke's feeling towards her being very ordinary.

To put it nicely, she is a vase with mediocre talent and qualifications, and she is flashy and useless.

To put it bluntly, she is a waste with a head full of reproductive instincts and no ambition.

"I think I understand, she... maybe she can be used as a disposable product?"

Sasuke raised his eyebrows and said, "Although that love-crazy person is not very normal, she still has some talent. If she is taught by Jiraiya or Kakashi, she may become an ordinary jonin. Anyway, it is not a loss for the village."

"Besides, you are a human jūriki, and I am an Uchiha. We are both flammable and explosive."

"Even if the two of us lose control and run away, the love-crazy person will die, and it doesn't matter to the village."

"..." Naruto's eyes twitched, "So ruthless?"

Sasuke shrugged his shoulders and said nonchalantly, "What else? You can't expect her to catch up with us, right?"

A civilian ninja wants to catch up with them?

The two of them looked at each other and smiled at the same time.

What kind of illusion does this have to make you dare to have such a dream?

"But I want to correct you. The leader of the team should not be Jiraiya or Kakashi."

At this point, Naruto paused, narrowed his eyes slightly and said: "Kakashi teacher had an accident while performing a mission. He is still in a coma in Konoha Hospital. I went to visit him yesterday."

"... Kakashi is in a coma again?" Sasuke widened his eyes again, "Who else could it be? We can't find an ordinary jonin to lead our team, right?"

"Well, we'll know when we divide the class."

"Tsk, you talk halfway, you won't have a companion in the future."

"... Learn less useless words."

"What do you care about me!"

"I heard that you recently recognized a younger brother named Sarutobi?"

"... What younger brother? That's just a piece of taffy. Oh, no, it's three pieces. I have a headache just thinking about it!"

In the reflection of the sun, the two intertwined shadows gradually moved away and stretched longer and longer on the ground.

………………

“Ding-ling-ling!!”

The two almost arrived at the classroom at the sound of the bell.

At the same time, everyone in the classroom was attracted to them, and their eyes lit up when they saw Naruto and Sasuke.

Although the two were still several months away from turning thirteen, as long as they stood there, their extraordinary temperament was undoubtedly revealed.

In the library that Menma prepared for Naruto, there was a book called "One Hundred and Eight Sets of Fashionable Clothing Matching".

And Sasuke's aesthetic level has also improved as he spends time with Naruto day and night.

And because of the usual "eating" training, Naruto and Sasuke are not short in height.

With a height of nearly 1.7 meters, he already has the demeanor of a mature boy, which makes the girls who are in the period of spring love blush.

“Naruto!”

“Sasuke-kun!”

As soon as the two sat down, Ino and Sakura came over, and did not forget to glare at the little bitches behind them.

"Good morning, Ino, Sakura."

Naruto greeted the two with a gentle smile, while Sasuke sat down with a cold face and said nothing.

But this cold butt obviously couldn't stop Sakura's hot face from rubbing against it.

In the end, Naruto elbowed Sasuke's waist while chatting with Ino, which made him angrily scold Sakura.

"It would be great if I could be in the same team with Naruto and you two." Ino said carelessly with a smile on her face.

Sakura on the side rolled her eyes and leaned close to her ear and lowered her voice: "Ino pig, go with Naruto, don't blame me Sasuke!"

Seeing the two people confronting each other there, Sasuke looked indifferent, and Naruto smiled gently and said: "It would be great to be assigned to a small team, and it doesn't matter if you don't. The relationship between us will not fade because of these."

Hearing Naruto say this, Ino's face smiled even more, and her heart was much more at ease.

It is of course a good thing to be assigned to the same class with Naruto.

If not, it doesn't matter.

After all these years of getting along, the bond between them has become very deep, and they no longer need the process of getting along with the Genin team to continue to maintain their bond.

The students in the classroom were also a little noisy, as if they were taking this opportunity to vent something.

But when Iruka and Mizuki came in with Konoha forehead protectors, the discussion gradually stopped.

Instead, there was a tense atmosphere.

"Children, be quiet." Mizuki first glanced at Naruto and Sasuke who were sitting together, and then smiled gently at everyone.

His eyes swept over every classmate, and everyone's face was full of excitement and tension.

As expected, the content of the assessment did not change much, and it was still the three-body technique that had already been mastered.

Under the organization of Iruka and Mizuki, all students took the assessment in order.

Waiting in the corridor with other students, Naruto was calm in his heart.

The difficulty of the Genin assessment is far less than the homework left for him by Menma.

The scope of learning content is extremely broad.

From history and humanities to mathematics, to philosophy, social system, economics and finance, the principles of ninjutsu and illusion...

If you stack up the books he has read, they will be taller than the increasingly sturdy Kurama.

Genin, Chunin, Jonin, and even "Kage" have never been his destiny.

Based on the knowledge that Menma-ge gave him, his understanding of the world is already very deep.

Naruto saw a brand new world and yearned for such a world.

In order to rebuild such a world, he needed a stronger power.

——Destruction will bring new life.

"Uzumaki Naruto." At this time, Iruka's voice interrupted Naruto's thoughts.

Ino walked out of the classroom, poked her head and waved her arm at Naruto: "Damn it!"

Naruto smiled back and immediately stepped into the classroom.

A row of Konoha forehead protectors were neatly placed on the table in the classroom, and the examiners were Iruka and Mizuki.

"Let's start." Iruka nodded slightly.

Naruto's smile remained unchanged, and his hands quickly formed seals.

Wei, Si, Yin.

"Clone Jutsu."

Bang!

As the white smoke exploded and dissipated, an identical clone appeared beside Naruto.

"Perfect!"

Iruka nodded with satisfaction, then picked up the forehead protector and handed it to Naruto, with a gratified smile on his face: "Congratulations on becoming a ninja, Naruto."

"Thank you, Teacher Iruka."

Looking at that sincere face, Naruto also smiled and thanked.

Then he took the forehead protector and tied it on his arm.

Finally, he nodded slightly to Mizuki behind Iruka and left the classroom.

Watching Naruto leave, Iruka's mouth couldn't help but curl up.

But he didn't see the gloom that flashed in Mizuki's eyes behind him.

When all the students' assessments are over, it also means that they have officially become Genin.

All the students who passed were talking excitedly in the classroom.

For these children, it is one step closer to their dreams.

But they don't know that this also means that they are about to step into a more cruel world.

Iruka's eyes swept over every young face, as if he wanted to remember everyone's appearance, with pride and reluctance in his heart.

"Congratulations, everyone, you have successfully passed the exam. Now you are all Konoha's Genin. Next, I will announce the team list, and your team leader will take you away."

The students below immediately talked about it.

"Ah? It was announced just after the exam?"

"Finally, the groups are divided. I want to be in a team with Sasuke-kun!"

"Naruto should be in a team with Sasuke. I wonder who will be the last one." Ino and Sakura discussed with anticipation.

But soon a basin of cold water was poured.

"Sleep, everything will happen in dreams."

Shikamaru lay lazily on the table and said weakly: "Ino, Shika and Chou will definitely be divided into a group."

"Ino, Shika and Chou" is Konoha's trump card combination.

In battle, the Nara clan, who has shadow imitation and high IQ, is generally responsible for tactical formulation and core control, the Yamanaka clan, who is good at perception and mental control, is responsible for perceiving the target and connecting the three people's thinking, and finally the Akimichi clan with powerful destructive power will attack.

Ino and the other two grew up together since childhood, and they have a great understanding, so they will be divided together 100%.

"Damn it! I actually forgot about this!" Ino's face suddenly turned gray.

Shikamaru stared at the dead fish and complained, "Troublesome woman."

"Crunch, crunch." Choji stuffed the potato chips into his mouth, took out another potato chip, and reluctantly handed it to Ino, "Ino, I'll treat you to potato chips."

Sure enough, Iruka on the podium quickly read out the names of the three people.

"Yamanaka Ino, Nara Shikamaru, Akimichi Choji."

"...Alas." Ino lowered her head and sighed.

"Hinata Hyuga, Shino Aburame, Kiba Inuzuka."

As the list was reported, some people were happy and some were sad.

Sakura grabbed her sleeves nervously, looking forward to her grouping.

The next moment, Iruka's voice shocked Sakura.

"Haruno Sakura, Uchiha Sasuke, Uzumaki Naruto."

Sakura was stunned in place, and stood up and cheered after a long time.

"Ahhh!"

She was so excited that she rushed over and hugged Sasuke's arm, shouting: "Sasuke-kun, from now on we are teammates, please give us your guidance."

Immediately, the other girls around her looked envious and jealous.

Sasuke held his forehead with a headache, and could already imagine the future.

Although he was mentally prepared, it was still a little hard to accept at this moment.

Thinking of this, Sasuke looked at Naruto, trying to find some recognition, but found that the latter was smiling at Haruno Sakura.

"Welcome, Sakura, Sasuke is looking forward to you joining us."

Sasuke's face suddenly turned pale.
