[Hokage] One day to arrive

?You said that if we don't deal with the enemy in the way of [one person kills one person], it won't be worthwhile at all.

If we're all wasted here, we won't be able to catch up to Sasuke.

Naruto, you have eyes that are brighter than mine.Sasuke is in deep darkness, and only you can bring him out.

Come on, I'll catch up in a while.

I will not die so easily.

……

I don't have that much time to stay in Konoha and play house with you guys. Orochimaru can give me strength, that's enough.

If you continue to be sticky, I will kill you with my own hands and cut off the past!

……

——Ning Ci... is he okay?

——It should be considered bad...but my life is still there for the time being.

Fate, for the time being, is still...

"Ningji!"

Naruto forced his body full of exhaustion to open his eyes abruptly, only seeing a piece of paleness, propped himself up to sit up and looked around, and found that the surrounding scene was somewhat familiar.But he didn't see anyone else, he was the only one lying on the bed in the clean and bright ward.

"This is... Konoha Hospital? I..." Muttering to himself, Naruto was startled by the hoarseness of his own voice.But as the memories before coma flooded into his mind, Sasuke's determination, the sorrow of facing each other with a sword, the departure of his companions, and when his consciousness was blurred, Lu Jiu...

A flash of panic flashed in his eyes, Naruto tried to get off the hospital bed, but he fell down powerlessly.He didn't know if what happened when he was completely unconscious was true. After all, Lu Jiu's appearance was too unexpected, but Lu Jiu's hoarse and cool familiar voice, and Ning Ci's surprise when he woke up Absence—how could he pretend it didn't exist? !

With his weak body, every step was like stepping on a cloud and he couldn't find a place to hold his strength, but Naruto moved out of the ward step by step with such perseverance, and subconsciously walked in one direction while leaning on the wall.

"To be honest, the seal you used on Neiji Hinata is very interesting. It almost completely preserved his physical strength and energy in that situation." Tsunade Senju sat with his legs crossed and sat in the long room outside the concentrated treatment room. On the stool, leaning against the wall with his hands on his chest, he looked with interest at Lu Jiu, who was leaning against the wall on the opposite side and came back with a messy Naruto in his arms, but there was no mess on his body, and said, "If it weren't for this If you want to cure him, I’m afraid there will be a lot of trouble.” After all, even if they can borrow the opposite’s hair to regenerate cells, they must be able to survive the process.

"It's nothing." Lu Jiu slowly opened his eyes, "It just temporarily slowed down the speed of his vitality loss, and it didn't help his recovery."

"Really." Tsunade pursed his lips noncommittally, "But Uchiha Sato helped him..."

"Brother Lu Jiu... Ning Ci, how is he doing?"

Before Naruto arrived, a rare and weak voice came to interrupt Tsunade's question.

"It's out of danger and transferred to the ward." Lu Jiu turned his head slightly, looked at Naruto who was wrapped up like a mummy, and was helped by Haruno Sakura all the way, and said in a flat tone, "I'll take you there." He knew how close Naruto and Neji were always sticking together, so after saying this, he straightened up and walked to Naruto's side, paused for a while, then walked in another direction without looking at Haruno Sakura.

Naruto didn't say a word, didn't see Tsunade who was sitting on the side at all, turned around and broke away from Haruno Sakura's hand, and followed Lu Jiu's footsteps step by step.

Because of Naruto's body, Lu Jiu couldn't walk too fast, but before he could walk a few steps, he heard Naruto's voice behind him hesitantly: "Brother Lu Jiu, how is Ningji... how is he injured?" ?”

Lu Jiu thought for a while, without looking back, and without any intention of hiding it: "The left shoulder and right waist were pierced, and the back of the heart was hit many times. As for other injuries, I don't know." Then, he raised his hand and pushed it away. The door of a ward next to him, but he stopped at the door and opened his body sideways, without going in.

Naruto immediately understood that this was Neji's ward, and rushed in without hesitation, but couldn't help but stop after only one step, staring fixedly at Neji, who was pale and breathing weakly on the hospital bed.

Didn't you say that you will catch up in a while?Didn't you say... wouldn't you die so easily?

Is that all right now? !

Naruto's hands clenched into fists and then loosened. He suddenly rushed to Neji's hospital bed as hard as he could, and reached out to grab his hand. His body temperature was very low, but fortunately, it was only lukewarm.

Standing outside the door, Lu Jiu looked at this scene and tilted her head slightly, thinking about investigating the information obtained from the "caged bird" while treating Ning Ci's injuries. After a flash of eyes, she said nothing, closed the door carefully, turned and left ——Taking advantage of this time, he should first make preparations for solving the "caged bird".

In the ward, Naruto didn't even feel Lu Jiu's departure, and didn't bother to look for a stool, just half-knelt beside the bed, holding Neji's hand and hanging his head, wondering what he was thinking.

When Jilai also followed the window all the way to find it, what he saw was such a scene.

He was dumbfounded for a moment, and Jiraiya didn't know whether he should persuade Naruto to leave the village with him according to the original plan, but he quickly shook his head and threw out all the messy thoughts, and directed at Naruto. The man waved his hand and said, "Yo, Naruto, from today onwards you are my official disciple!"

"Huh?" Naruto raised his head, stared blankly at Jiraiya who had jumped in from the window, and said blankly, "So... lecherous fairy?"

"Don't make such an expression, Naruto." Jilai also clicked his tongue, pulled the chair and got down, looked at Naruto who was still covered in injuries but half kneeling in front of Neji's hospital bed, and said with a horrible expression , "Anyway, I plan to use three years to train you into a ninja who can be entrusted with important tasks. You should be happier, right?"

Three years...

Naruto frowned, thinking of what he heard when he met Kimaro, he couldn't help but look down at Neji's calm face even in a coma, and wanted to refuse directly at that time.

Although he couldn't see the other party's expression, Jiraiya still vaguely sensed Naruto's attitude, sighed immediately, and slowly told the news about [Akatsuki] and Orochimaru's longevity technique. out.

Naruto listened to Jiraiya's words and didn't interrupt, but his heart was already shaken a bit, but Jiraiya's next sentence dispelled the wavering immediately.

"Pick up your things as soon as possible, we will leave Konoha for a while, and come back after you have completed your cultivation..."

"No!" Naruto gritted his teeth - he really wanted to become stronger, but he would never leave at this time! "Lust Immortal, you and Orochimaru both grew up in Konoha, I don't believe that there is no way to become stronger in Konoha. I will also prove this to Sasuke-even if I stay in Konoha, I can still compare He is stronger, then knock him out and bring him back!"

"Now is an extraordinary time." Jiraiya finally lowered his head to look at Neji who was in a coma at this time, and had a faint guess in his heart, "Your identity is different, now is not the time for you to be willful, if you don't obey the arrangement If so, then only special measures can be taken.”

Different identities... Is it because I am Nine-Tails Jinchuriki?

By the way, after waking up this time, the fox hasn't spoken yet. Could it be that he was angry because of the previous incident?

Uh... If this is the case, it would be too bad for the fox to have such a violent temper.How should he apologize?

—Forget it, let’s ask Ning Ci after he wakes up...

Naruto's consciousness diverged, but he didn't forget to say to Jiraiya: "I will never leave the village at this time, lecherous fairy." He raised his head and looked at Jiraiya, his eyes were full of Confident, "I want to stay in the village, wait for Neji to recover, and then use the fastest speed to become stronger, fulfill the agreement with Sakura and beat up that idiot Sasuke and bring him back!"

When Ning Ci gets better...

The guess in my heart became a little more certain, Zilai couldn't help but twitched the corners of his mouth, but he was vaguely relieved - even if he also wanted to chase his companion back, at least this kid didn't seem to be able to follow him follow suit.

"Well...forget it," Jilaiya stood up, turned his back to Naruto, but his tone suddenly relaxed a lot, "Then wait until this kid is discharged from the hospital, and get ready to receive devil training. But leave the village for a while Time is necessary, you also said that the kid from Hyuga's family is a genius, you don't want to be left behind by him, right?" After speaking, without giving Naruto a chance to refute, he jumped out of the window and disappeared as quickly as possible.

The resistance in Naruto's heart has actually been reduced a lot following Jiraiya's last words, but at this time he still stared dead at the empty window, hindering Neji who was in a coma from daring to shout out loud, but in his heart Still screaming and complaining silently.

--ha?hello... hello!Come back, lecherous fairy, don't make a decision on your own, Hun Dan!
