Naruto: Who made him a ninja?

“I’ve come today to tell you some good news.”

Sighing, Hiruzen Sarutobi shook his head, ceasing his thoughts, and looked earnestly at Shūzawa.

“However, before I tell you this news, I want to test you, to see if you have been diligent during this time. I hope you understand.

You are the future of Konoha. Whether it's the Flying Thunder God Technique or Wood Release, these are incredibly important things.”

“Uh…”

Shūzawa scratched his head, but he still nodded.

“I understand, Lord Hokage. I wonder what you plan to test me on today?”

“Come with me.”

Hiruzen Sarutobi pointed to the front.

“I want to test your Wood Release ability. Although it may be somewhat harsh, as you have only been studying it for a month.

But Wood Release is too important to us. I hope you can work even harder, Shūzawa-kun.”

Shūzawa blinked upon hearing this. He had thought Hiruzen Sarutobi was going to personally spar with him.

So, it's just this kind of test?

Of course, he understood Hiruzen Sarutobi's words. He was probably discovered slacking off recently, which made the Third Hokage unhappy.

He intends to use this method to remind him not to slack off too much?

“How about this, if you perform well, then I can consider granting you a reasonable request.”

Seeing that Shūzawa hadn't moved, Hiruzen Sarutobi thought for a moment and simply took the initiative to speak.

“Thank you, Lord Hokage, but Lord Hokage, what is the good news you mentioned?”

Shūzawa nodded, then he began to weave hand seals somewhat awkwardly, asking as he did so.

Watching this scene, the corners of Hiruzen Sarutobi's mouth twitched slightly. You can't even weave hand seals properly. How hard have you been slacking off?

But in the end, he didn't say anything. After thinking about it, he deliberately said encouragingly.

“There's already news of Tsunade. Originally, I was planning to have you try to bring her back, but if you don't meet the requirements, it will probably be difficult.”

Tsunade?

Shūzawa blinked. He was very interested in that!

Before Hiruzen Sarutobi could finish speaking, Shūzawa suddenly clasped his hands together, and chakra surged within his body.

“Wood Release: Advent of a World of Flowering Trees!”

The lawn of the training ground trembled!

Thick tree roots burst out of the ground, the roots grew rapidly, and vines intertwined with each other. Before long, giant trees had appeared before them!

“This…”

Hiruzen Sarutobi couldn't help but widen his eyes. What was going on?

Wasn't this kid slacking off recently according to the report?

What a joke!

“Lord Hokage…”

Shūzawa turned his head at this moment, looking sincerely at Hiruzen Sarutobi.

“I think I’ve met the requirements, right?”

“…”

For a moment, Hiruzen Sarutobi really wanted to slap himself.

Chapter 77: Big, Big, Big!

For a moment, Hiruzen Sarutobi felt like he had been deceived.

Wasn't it said in the report that this kid had been slacking off recently?

But looking at the forest formed by the surrounding giant trees not far away, feeling the chakra emanating from within the forest, and the vigorous vitality.

For a moment, he felt that there might be a mole in his Anbu. Was this kid really slacking off?

“You…”

Hiruzen Sarutobi was silent for a long time before he finally squeezed out a sentence.

“You’ve already learned it?”

“It's not that difficult, is it?”

Shūzawa blinked. It really wasn't difficult for him, after all, the LV6 level was already at the Jōnin level no matter how you looked at it.

At this level, many techniques are not as difficult to learn as imagined.

Of course, to exert its effect, it is still related to one's other comprehensive abilities and the current level of the technique.

In short, the initial LV6 level guarantees the performance of a Jōnin, and further enhances the power of this technique by combining a large amount of chakra infusion.

Shūzawa was very satisfied with this point. The human body is inherently linked. How can a single ability be particularly outstanding while other related abilities are lacking?

Even someone like Kisame, who only uses Water Release, wouldn't be able to make his Water Release so miraculous if he didn't have that explosive chakra comparable to a Tailed Beast!

“Not difficult…”

The corners of Hiruzen Sarutobi's mouth twitched again. He glanced at the towering trees again, and for a moment he fell into a speechless state.

He hadn't forgotten what he had just said, and it was difficult for him to say against his will, 'You're still not good enough'.

It's just that he really didn't want Shūzawa to go out. This kid's talent was so incredible that even he felt a little unbelievable.

“Lord Hokage, can I go see Lady Tsunade now?”

Just as Hiruzen Sarutobi was still doubtful, Shūzawa suddenly asked curiously.

“This…”

Hiruzen Sarutobi hesitated for a moment, and finally he nodded helplessly.

“No problem, I'll leave this task to you.”

Even if he was reluctant, Hiruzen Sarutobi had no better way at this time.

Besides, thinking about it carefully, Shūzawa's past was actually a good choice, after all, his Wood Release had already reached this point.

Combined with the fact that the damned Uchiha Obito also possesses Wood Release, the probability of Tsunade being persuaded will also increase.

“This time, you might as well bring your own team. With Yūgao there, you won't be so impulsive, and at the same time, let Shisui go out and relax.”

“Yes, Lord Hokage.”

Shūzawa nodded immediately. He was already very familiar with this team. It was indeed more suitable to carry out these tasks with acquaintances.

As for Shisui relaxing, Shūzawa didn't need to ask much to understand. I'm afraid those Uchiha people are already going crazy, right?

To think that such a pair of Mangekyō Sharingan was left in the Anbu, I'm afraid those Uchiha are already going crazy—

“I really didn't expect that we would be looking for Lady Tsunade.”

In the forest of the Land of Fire, three figures quickly swept across the branches, heading towards the Land of Vegetables all the way.

Just on the way, Yūgao couldn't help but sigh. As half a medical ninja, she also admired Tsunade extremely.

Or rather, no medical ninja in the entire Konoha would ignore Tsunade's existence.

However, Yūgao couldn't help but glance at Shūzawa. She knew very well that this time, bringing Tsunade back was probably for Shūzawa.

“Actually, it's not surprising to bring her back. After all, that Uchiha Obito also knows Wood Release, doesn't he?”

Shūzawa shrugged his shoulders and sped up, but he also glanced at Shisui, who seemed a little silent beside him.

“What's wrong? Why are you so sullen? Didn't you learn anything in the Anbu?”

“That's not the case. There are really many things to learn in the Anbu.”

Shisui came back to his senses and shook his head with a smile.

He didn't regret staying in the Anbu. After all, staying here could avoid many troublesome things from happening. At the same time, staying here could also allow him to think about some things better.

He had to admit that his ideas sometimes seemed too simple and naive.

There were many things he couldn't understand at all, just like the words that Shūzawa had said to him more than a month ago.

To be honest, he was a little impulsive at the time and wanted to ask the Third Hokage, but out of loyalty, he didn't want to betray Shūzawa.

But after he calmed down and thought about it carefully, he suddenly realized that even if he went, it seemed like it wouldn't be of any use.

Shūzawa only told a meaningful little story, without naming names or slandering Danzō in the slightest.

What he would think after hearing this story was entirely his own problem. Even if Shūzawa might be affected, the biggest impact would definitely be on himself!

After figuring out these things, Shisui couldn't help but feel a little dejected. Looking back at everything they had done in Sunagakure.

He found that Shūzawa was not only strong, but also a person who was good at using strategies.

Didn't he analyze the current situation of Sunagakure, capturing Pakura and forcing Sunagakure to be a 'ally'?

Didn't he analyze the situation of Uchiha Obito through the Sharingan, causing that guy to fail again and again?

Now, he seemed to have only told a story, but it had already made himself realize many things. This ability really made Shisui sigh with admiration.

“Danzō… Family… I must do something!”

Shisui muttered silently in his heart, but he hadn't figured out these things yet. He only had a determination, a determination to dare to take action.

As for how to do it, he still needs to think more.

Or, ask more...

“Then why do you look so silent?”

Shūzawa looked at Shisui suspiciously, and Shisui smiled and said.

“Perhaps you haven't noticed, but something has happened in the Land of Vegetables recently. Their secret technique scroll has been lost.”

“Oh?”

Shūzawa and Yūgao both looked at Shisui in surprise, and Shisui continued to speak.

“According to some information, it seems that Kumogakure is behind it again, but the Land of Vegetables has hired the 'Ninja Hunter' Xuan Yuanzhong to capture them.

It's just that I didn't expect that Lady Tsunade would also be here. I'm a little worried.”

The village of Kumogakure is simply like a robber. They steal and plunder countless secret technique scrolls.

But because of its strong comprehensive national strength, many small countries, small ninja villages, and families can only retaliate in private, or protest.

After all, if Kumogakure came out in full force, it would be the end of destruction.

Shūzawa didn't really like those black guys from Kumogakure from the bottom of his heart, whether it was their actions or something else.

But he was too lazy to ask more about other people's affairs. They still had their own tasks to deal with.

Accelerating all the way, they finally entered the Land of Vegetables and arrived at the location where Tsunade was according to the information a day later.

But when they just pushed open the door of a casino and walked in, they were immediately dumbfounded.

“Lady Tsunade, stop!”

Only to see Shizune holding a pink pig, earnestly persuading her, but unfortunately, Tsunade had already gone mad with gambling.

“Don't bother me, one last bet!”

“Place your bets…”

The dealer looked at Tsunade tremblingly, and Tsunade pushed out the chips with one hand, constantly chanting loudly.

“Big, big, big!”

Seeing this, Shūzawa silently walked over, and then directly placed the money on his body on 'Small'.

However, he couldn't help but sigh secretly in his heart.

“Indeed, big, big, big!”
