Naruto Office.
The third generation, transferred to Koharu, and Mitomon Yan.
The crystal ball reflected the ninjas who were fighting in the restaurant.
"It seems that the best ninja this year is Fujio Tomokai." Zhuanzhu Xiaochun said.
"Sasuke is also very good." Said Thirdaime.
"I still think the Uchiha family should..." Mito Menyan said.
"Even though it's for Konoha, it doesn't have to go to this extent." Zhuanshu Xiaochun said, "At that time, Itachi's child had already done a perfect job, and Sasuke would not doubt Konoha."
"What if he knows the truth?" Mito Menyan asked.
"Then follow your method." Zhuanzhu Xiaochun said without the slightest hesitation.
The third generation ignored their conversation, but stared at Naruto in the crystal ball with cloudy eyes.
Naruto's changes are now only known to a small number of people. The third generation, Jiraiya and Hatake Kakashi, the third generation did not let more people know.After a few more missions, even if Naruto shows a cold-blooded killing side, people will think that he changed during the mission, and he will be completely safe.
but……
Naruto is he believable?
The three generations Naruto has experienced in these years actually know more or less. He has actually ordered the ninjas who monitor Naruto to treat Naruto better.But that wasn't an official order, those ninjas... really hated Naruto who was Jinchuriki, so his order didn't work.
What if Naruto holds a grudge for this?
In addition, Uchiha Sasuke who was wiped out by Konoha... Can Kakashi be their teacher?And the kid named Shikamaru no longer sent any information. ——It is not uncommon for Renzhuriki to betray the village.
Maybe, should he make a more rational decision?
The Third Hokage thought about it slowly.
"Investigate all the background of Fujiyu Zhihai, and if there is no problem, we will try our best to train him." Zhuanzhu Xiaochun said.
"Yeah." Mitomon Yan nodded.
"We must strengthen the education of Konoha's spirit." Zhuanzhu Xiaochun added, and then she smiled slightly, "Actually, I really like that young man Uchiha Itachi, but he is a pity."
"Yes." Mitomon Yan nodded.
"I can't help it." Turning to sleep Xiaochun said, "For Konoha, I have to do this."
"For Konoha." Mito Menyan said.
The third generation is still looking at the crystal ball, looking at the innocent smiling faces of these ninjas.
Then he suddenly thought, why would he sit with such a group of human-like creatures?What's even more frightening is that many decisions are made by him.
Turning to sleep, Xiaochun and the others had a good plan.
This year's Fujio Zhihai looks red and professional, with extremely upright views, and also has good leadership and cohesion. Start brainwashing and training as early as possible, and dedicate his life to Konoha in the future. He will become one of Konoha's mainstays .
But what they don't know is that Fujio Zhihai is not a fuel-efficient lamp at all.
In his previous life, Fujio Zhihai was an urban soldier king, a peerless doctor with decathlon skills, and he was able to cook delicious dishes... Later, he was betrayed by his brother and his lover and died on the street. , to change this miserable world.
Later, of course, he could feel the training of Konoha's upper management, and he pretended to accept the brainwashing without leaving a trace, but when he gained power in the village, those people were the first to clean up.
It can be regarded as digging one's own grave from another angle.shrug.
As for Naruto?
He is not interested in these, and the scope of protection he has designated is much, much smaller than that of Fujio Zhihai.
Since those people betrayed him, it would be good if he didn't stab them twice. There was no talk of saving or change.
Naruto from the original world finally changed the villagers' view of him after he made great contributions to the village, and the villagers of Konoha regarded him as a hero, which made the older generation feel very moved.
but.
Are those people, he, they, worthy?
Does Naruto need their acknowledgment?
What qualifications do they have to admit that Naruto is a hero?
02.
night.roof.bright moon.
Hatake Kakashi, Moonlight Hayate.
The wind blew their robes, and the forehead strap behind Kakashi's head fluttered.
The night is like ink, and the cold light hits the face.
A cough broke the silence.
"Senior Kakashi." Moonlight Hayate shouted while coughing.
"I didn't expect you to come to me." Kakashi sat on the edge of the roof, still with a lazy expression, which made people worry that he would fall from the house at any time.
"Because I heard some rumors..." Moonlight Gale said thoughtfully.
"What, my brother has retired for many years, and now I just want to be a people's teacher obediently." Kakashi said.
"Senior Kakashi is too strong, and it will cause waves no matter where it is." Moonlight Hayate said, "When you got back the beheading sword a few days ago, a group of small Anbu almost lost their eyes."
"I'm just going to do a C-level mission... Well, it's a B-level mission now." Kakashi said.
"After this time, the newcomers in Anbu also respect you, Senior Kakashi." Moonlight Hayate continued.
"I mean I'm no longer in the arena, is there still a legend about me in the arena?" Kakashi said with a self-mockery.
"Yes." Moonlight Gale said seriously.
Seeing that Moonlight Hayate was so honest, Kakashi wasn't interested in joking anymore. He thought for a while and changed the topic, "Speaking of Hayate, when will you leave Anbe with your guy? It won't matter if it goes on like this for a long time."
"In a few years..." Yueguang Gaifeng paused when he said this, and then said, "Actually, Xiyan and I have thought of getting married in the past few years."
"Huh?" Kakashi's lazy expression finally disappeared, "Then congratulations, you must invite me then."
"That's natural." Moonlight Hayate smiled a little uneasily, his pale face flushed a little, "I respect Kakashi-senpai very much."
"Come on, you are connected, you should respect my father." Kakashi said, "Stop flattering me."
Moonlight Galewind smiled embarrassingly, but said nothing.
Hatake Mosaku, Hatake Kakashi's father, Konoha Baiga, has outstanding swordsmanship, and even the legendary Sannin respects him a bit. At that time, Konoha swordsmen all regarded him as an idol.
But such a powerful person gave up the mission because he wanted to save his companions during the mission. Konoha suffered a loss because of this, and the companions he rescued also accused him. In the end, Mosaku Hatake fell into depression...and committed suicide.
His death added a lot of shadows to Kakashi's heart.
At that time, Kakashi hated his father. Like everyone else in the village, he thought his father was not a qualified ninja.He didn't understand his father until Obito gave his life for him.
The death of the father.Companion's death.The death of the teacher.
Hatake Kakashi has really seen too many deaths.
To be honest, Moonlight Gale is sometimes worried about his senior's mental state.Uh, I was worried that Kakashi would suddenly become abnormal.
Then Moonlight Hayate thought about it and said, "There is also Kakashi-senpai. In the previous meeting, I heard Genma say, uh, you threatened to destroy those children."
Kakashi: "Huh?"
Moonlight Gale: "Huh?"
Kakashi: "Pfft... What is this and what?"
Moonlight Hayate coughed softly, "I heard that Nara Shikahisa was almost scared to pee at that time, and after he returned, he dragged his wife to discuss about letting Shikamaru quit the seventh class."
Kakashi: "Pfft..."
"The above are Xuanjian's original words." Moonlight Gale replied honestly.
"Can you believe him?" Kakashi asked, "He's so stupid."
Moonlight Gale suddenly let out a violent cough.
"Allah, I was just joking." Seeing Moonlight Haypu like this, Kakashi was afraid that he would be irritated by what he said, so he quickly comforted him, "Don't worry, I won't do that kind of thing. "
"Really?" Moonlight Gale looked at him suspiciously, "Don't you think it's a pleasure to destroy a child who is full of hope in the future?"
"Are you trying to induce me to commit a crime?" Hatake Kakashi looked at Moonlight Hayate.
"I'm just worried about Kakashi-senpai." Moonlight Hayate said.
"It's nothing." Kakashi shook his head, "There must be dark thoughts, but after so many years, I should have done something long ago."
"Senior Kakashi..."
"I have accepted my fate." Kakashi stood on the roof and looked at Konoha in the distance, and then said, "May I protect Konoha with this sinful body...I just hope that everyone will forget me soon after I die in battle .”
Moonlight Gale did not speak for a long time.
This may be the fate of most ninjas.
Remembering the dead is really a sad thing, Kakashi would think every time he came to the monument, if his name was engraved on it one day, if someone was like him talking all day long to mourn If so, he will definitely be very, very impatient.
The fate of the ninja.
……
03.
"The fate of the ninja? What kind of strange saying is that?" Naruto said carelessly.
"Ninjas are essentially tools of war, as written in the book," Sasuke said.
"The essence of ninja should be a kind of profession." Naruto scratched his head and said, "Why do you want to kidnap professional ethics?"
"Uh," Sasuke pondered for a moment, then said, "Maybe it's brainwashing?"
Naruto punched his right palm with his left hand and said, "Yes, it's brainwashing."
Kakashi said "the fate of the ninja" in a desolate tone over there. Here, Naruto and Sasuke happened to mention "the fate of the ninja" when they were chatting. The attitudes of the two were completely different, but they happened at the same time.
It's kind of a symbol.
Kakashi will bear the burden of fate all the way forward.
And Naruto will tear apart all hypocritical fate and go upstream.
Kakashi represents a heavy responsibility, while Naruto represents a strong resistance.
"But it is necessary for the village." Sasuke said objectively, "I also heard from the tribe that the upper echelon of Konoha is suppressing Uchiha's power in a meeting. I think this is because Uchiha can't be a simple tool. Because a tool doesn’t need a mind.”
"Speaking of which, Konoha was jointly established by the Senju family and the Uchiha family," Naruto said, "Why is your family so miserable now? Uh...that...I mean..."
"It's okay, no need to apologize, this is the truth." Sasuke said, "I can already face up to the current Uchiha."
"I'm not apologizing to you," Naruto scratched his head and said, "I was wondering who the biggest beneficiary will be after the Uchiha is wiped out?"
Sasuke froze for a moment and didn't speak for a long time.
"...And actually, I've been meaning to ask a question, but I'm afraid you'll be angry." Naruto said.
"Ask." Sasuke said.
"Where are the eyes of your dead clansman?" Naruto asked, "Uchiha's sharingan should be very precious, it should be almost the same as crimson eyes...uh...that is to say, very precious."
"I didn't pay attention to this." Sasuke was stunned for a moment, then said.
Naruto would notice this because of the Kuruta tribe. He didn't participate in that event, and he didn't want a pair of crimson eyes given to him by the knight.
"Is there a way to verify it?" Naruto asked.
"Hmm... let's try digging tomorrow." Sasuke said.
"Dig what?" Naruto asked.
Uchiha Sasuke coughed awkwardly, and said, "Uchiha's ancestral grave."
"Oh..." Naruto thought for a while, and then forced out a comforting word: "Well, thank you for your hard work."
"It's not hard." Sasuke said with his mouth twitching.
Digging ancestral graves... It's not very hard... It should be _(:3∠)_
The two lay down again, ready to sleep.
After a while, Sasuke suddenly said, "Naruto, why don't we go now."
"Where are you going?" Naruto was almost asleep.
"Go digging the grave," Sasuke said.
"You really can't wait to dig your grave..." Naruto sat up and yawned.
Sasuke reached out and gave him a shuriken directly.
Naruto woke up instantly, and quickly avoided, "Okay, I was wrong, let's clean up."
Just do what you say, there is an exam tomorrow after all, so the two of them acted quickly.
The moon is dark and the wind is high...Er...the night of digging graves.
Why didn't I think of this question before?Why was I completely blinded by extreme emotions?Sasuke kept thinking this way on the way to the Uchiha mansion.
The answer is simple, because he saw Uchiha Itachi killing people, Uchiha Itachi gave him a monthly reading directly, which made him almost go crazy during the monthly reading.
Then, he can now think about it a little more calmly.
If Uchiha Itachi killed people just because of what he said to "test his own measurement", then why didn't Uchiha Itachi kill him?And show him those illusions?
For... fun?
Or to cultivate his hatred?
But what good does this do for Uchiha Itachi himself?
If Uchiha Itachi is such a madman, naturally there is nothing to say, and Uchiha's Sharingan must also be there.
but……
Empty tomb, empty tomb, another empty tomb.
The haze in Sasuke's heart deepened.
At the beginning, Uchiha’s body was handled by the high-level Konoha. He was immersed in grief and forgot everything. When he remembered, the clansmen had been "properly" buried by the high-level Konoha, so he thanked Konoha for coming. .
There is no body.Where the hell did the body go.
Sasuke stopped in front of a grave, speechless for a long time.
"What's wrong?" Naruto asked.
"It belongs to my parents." Sasuke said dryly.
Naruto paused and didn't speak.
"Go ahead." Sasuke said in a hoarse voice.
"...Okay." Naruto said.
Still an empty tomb.
Sasuke threw the shovel aside, Naruto didn't speak to him, and covered the grave again, and then he carefully sprinkled it with old soil, trying to eliminate the traces of the two digging the grave.
Sasuke stood beside him for a while, and after Naruto finished the work by himself, he said, "Thank you."
His voice was hoarse.
"Sasuke." Naruto called out.
"……Naruto."
"I'm by your side." Naruto said.
"You go first, I want to be alone for a while." Sasuke whispered.
"Sasuke, you still have us." Naruto continued.
"Naruto!" Sasuke roared directly, and after a few seconds his voice trembled with worry, "Please, you go first."
"……it is good."
Uchiha Sasuke's figure in the night was stretched very long under the moonlight.
04.
Under the clear blue and light white sky, as beautiful as an oil painting, is a place called the Forest of Death.
Tall barbed wire, gates tied up with chains and locks, red sealing spells, and a notice board with peeling paint on one side, which reads in blood-red fonts: No entry.
"This is the exam room for the second exam, practice site No. 44, alias, Death Forest."
When Mitarai Anko said this, her expression was very indifferent, and the corners of her lips rose briefly until she said the term "Death Forest".
The wind blows from the depths of the forest, carrying a cold breath.
Leaves flutter along the edge of sight.
In the five-day survival challenge, you need to protect your own scrolls and seize the scrolls of other teams within five days, and then reach the high tower in the middle of the dead forest to complete the task.
"How?" Naruto asked.
"It's okay," Sasuke said, yawning as he spoke.
"What's wrong with you?" Shikamaru said, "Did you not rest last night?"
"Well, I was so stupid last night that I didn't sleep all night." Sasuke said.
"...Huh?" Shikamaru was at a loss.
"It's nothing, I found something, I was so excited that I couldn't sleep." Sasuke said, "But I suddenly figured it out at dawn, so I lay down for a while."
Shikamaru paused, and roughly guessed what it was about, so he asked, "Are you okay?"
"It's okay." Sasuke said slowly, "I have to be okay too. After all, it's all happened. I have to calm down and be rational. Otherwise, everything I've done before will be useless."
Sasuke and Shikamaru looked at each other, and Naruto watched them quietly.
"Okay. I'm fine." Sasuke said, "Naruto, Shikamaru, let's go."
"Ah."
"it is good!"
The three strode into the forest of death.
"Then, since Sasuke hasn't had a good rest, let's find a place to rest first." Naruto said, "Anyway, it's a total of five days, so leave the battle to me today."
"Yeah." Shikamaru nodded, "Well, although I'm not good at fighting, I can just leave the layout to me."
"It's rare to see you get motivated, Shikamaru." Naruto laughed.
"If you don't work hard, I'll leave you far away." Shikamaru shook his head and said.
Sasuke, who was cared by his two companions, couldn't help but smile, "Okay, I'll leave it to you today."
Compared with other teams, the seventh class did look too slack when it first entered the Death Forest.Shikamaru first found a tree hole, and then Sasuke climbed in and strangled a poisonous snake in the aborigine inside and threw it outside. Naruto was eager to try the snake meat, but Shikamaru gave up the idea with a few words.
After all, he doesn't have the strong stomach of Meteor Street, so if the conditions are not perfect, it's better not to die.
Sasuke said "I'll rest for a while" and fell asleep, Shikamaru guarded Sasuke, while Naruto went out to find food.
With their strength, even if they are separated, as long as they pay attention, it will be fine.
Naruto’s survival skills in the wild are still good, mainly thanks to Wo Jin, who lived in the forest until the age of 12, accompanied by beasts, insects and ants, but you may think that the forest is closer to "beasts" This describes him exactly.
At the age of 12, the tiger who accompanied Wo Jin day and night died. Wo Jin wanted to get out of this forest, but the forest was next to Meteor Street, so he broke into Meteor Street with one foot, and then fought with Nobunaga. They met each other and became companions, and were invited by Kuroro to join the brigade.
Wo Jin's thinking is very simple, and his thoughts are also very simple.
His first companion was the tiger he grew up with, and when the tiger died he went out of the forest to find new companions.With his companions, he keeps fighting, keeps getting stronger, kills and kills, and acts recklessly, just like he once did in the forest.
The law of the jungle is the main theme in the forest.
It is also the main theme of that world.
Wojin likes the forest very much, and when he returns to the forest, it is like returning to his hometown.Usually when the brigade is free to move around, everyone is doing their own things and making noise everywhere, but Wo Jin is very out of character and will go back to the forest to live quietly.Nobunaga stayed with him for a while, and felt that the forest was too boring, so he slipped out to kill and set fire.
And Naruto had conflicts with Kuroro for a while, so he went to play with Wo Jin. The two stayed in the forest for more than three months. During those three months, Wo Jin gave him a lot of knowledge about survival in the wild, and today , came in handy in the dead forest.
The small white mushrooms and the grass will make the soup delicious. Maybe they can dig out a pot with stones... But it’s not practical to bring a pot in this situation, so it’s better to barbecue Bar.
When it comes to BBQ, it's still...
Naruto threw a kunai backhand and nailed a hare over there to the tree.
Yay, we have appetizers for tonight.
Sasuke was sleeping peacefully(...) in the tree hole, and Shikamaru stood in front of the tree hole and used the branches to draw grimaces on the ground to think about the problem.The connotation of this competition, the participants...
The scrolls of the seventh class are kept by Shikamaru. Shikamaru originally thought it would be better to give it to Sasuke or Naruto, but Naruto made such a decision directly.
"Objectively speaking, I am the weakest, so the scroll is not very safe with me." Shikamaru said.
"Whether the scroll is on you or not, you will be the main target of the enemy." Naruto said, "So it doesn't matter who is on it, and you are the smartest of us, it is better for you to have the scroll on you Let’s use our wisdom.”
"That's true." Seeing that Naruto said so, Shikamaru also agreed.
protected.He thought so in his heart.
There was a sound in the woods, Shikamaru looked up, and saw Naruto coming out of the bushes with a few fruits in his arms.
"Unlucky, I didn't see anything to eat, but I picked a few fruits." Naruto said, "You guys eat first."
"Yeah." Shikamaru nodded.
"Give some to Sasuke." Naruto said as he walked towards Shikamaru.
Shikamaru stepped back to the side and said, "Well, go and wake him up yourself, I don't want to be implicated by his getting up."
"Hey, hey." Naruto said so, and handed Shikamaru one of the fruits in his hand. The plump and juicy wild fruit looked very delicious.
"It's not poisonous, is it?" Shikamaru asked suspiciously.
"Ah? Ah, no, no, I've already eaten one." Naruto said.
"Oh." Shikamaru said.
Naruto over there watched him take a bite and showed a satisfied smile, then climbed into the tree hole and planned to wake Sasuke up.
His back was facing Shikamaru, so Shikamaru couldn't see that there was an extra shuriken in his palm.
"Naruto" approached Sasuke with an extremely dark smile on the corner of his mouth.

"I didn't pay attention to this." Sasuke was stunned for a moment, then said.
Naruto would notice this because of the Kuruta tribe. He didn't participate in that event, and he didn't want a pair of crimson eyes given to him by the knight.
"Is there a way to verify it?" Naruto asked.
"Hmm... let's try digging tomorrow." Sasuke said.
"Dig what?" Naruto asked.
Uchiha Sasuke coughed awkwardly, and said, "Uchiha's ancestral grave."
"Oh..." Naruto thought for a while, and then forced out a comforting word: "Well, thank you for your hard work."
"It's not hard." Sasuke said with his mouth twitching.
Digging ancestral graves... It's not very hard... It should be _(:3∠)_
The two lay down again, ready to sleep.
After a while, Sasuke suddenly said, "Naruto, why don't we go now."
"Where are you going?" Naruto was almost asleep.
"Go digging the grave," Sasuke said.
"You really can't wait to dig your grave..." Naruto sat up and yawned.
Sasuke reached out and gave him a shuriken directly.
Naruto woke up instantly, and quickly avoided, "Okay, I was wrong, let's clean up."
Just do what you say, there is an exam tomorrow after all, so the two of them acted quickly.
The moon is dark and the wind is high...Er...the night of digging graves.
Why didn't I think of this question before?Why was I completely blinded by extreme emotions?Sasuke kept thinking this way on the way to the Uchiha mansion.
The answer is simple, because he saw Uchiha Itachi killing people, Uchiha Itachi gave him a monthly reading directly, which made him almost go crazy during the monthly reading.
Then, he can now think about it a little more calmly.
If Uchiha Itachi killed people just because of what he said to "test his own measurement", then why didn't Uchiha Itachi kill him?And show him those illusions?
For... fun?
Or to cultivate his hatred?
But what good does this do for Uchiha Itachi himself?
If Uchiha Itachi is such a madman, naturally there is nothing to say, and Uchiha's Sharingan must also be there.
but……
Empty tomb, empty tomb, another empty tomb.
The haze in Sasuke's heart deepened.
At the beginning, Uchiha’s body was handled by the high-level Konoha. He was immersed in grief and forgot everything. When he remembered, the clansmen had been "properly" buried by the high-level Konoha, so he thanked Konoha for coming. .
There is no body.Where the hell did the body go.
Sasuke stopped in front of a grave, speechless for a long time.
"What's wrong?" Naruto asked.
"It belongs to my parents." Sasuke said dryly.
Naruto paused and didn't speak.
"Go ahead." Sasuke said in a hoarse voice.
"...Okay." Naruto said.
Still an empty tomb.
Sasuke threw the shovel aside, Naruto didn't speak to him, and covered the grave again, and then he carefully sprinkled it with old soil, trying to eliminate the traces of the two digging the grave.
Sasuke stood beside him for a while, and after Naruto finished the work by himself, he said, "Thank you."
His voice was hoarse.
"Sasuke." Naruto called out.
"……Naruto."
"I'm by your side." Naruto said.
"You go first, I want to be alone for a while." Sasuke whispered.
"Sasuke, you still have us." Naruto continued.
"Naruto!" Sasuke roared directly, and after a few seconds his voice trembled with worry, "Please, you go first."
"……it is good."
Uchiha Sasuke's figure in the night was stretched very long under the moonlight.
04.
Under the clear blue and light white sky, as beautiful as an oil painting, is a place called the Forest of Death.
Tall barbed wire, gates tied up with chains and locks, red sealing spells, and a notice board with peeling paint on one side, which reads in blood-red fonts: No entry.
"This is the exam room for the second exam, practice site No. 44, alias, Death Forest."
When Mitarai Anko said this, her expression was very indifferent, and the corners of her lips rose briefly until she said the term "Death Forest".
The wind blows from the depths of the forest, carrying a cold breath.
Leaves flutter along the edge of sight.
In the five-day survival challenge, you need to protect your own scrolls and seize the scrolls of other teams within five days, and then reach the high tower in the middle of the dead forest to complete the task.
"How?" Naruto asked.
"It's okay," Sasuke said, yawning as he spoke.
"What's wrong with you?" Shikamaru said, "Did you not rest last night?"
"Well, I was so stupid last night that I didn't sleep all night." Sasuke said.
"...Huh?" Shikamaru was at a loss.
"It's nothing, I found something, I was so excited that I couldn't sleep." Sasuke said, "But I suddenly figured it out at dawn, so I lay down for a while."
Shikamaru paused, and roughly guessed what it was about, so he asked, "Are you okay?"
"It's okay." Sasuke said slowly, "I have to be okay too. After all, it's all happened. I have to calm down and be rational. Otherwise, everything I've done before will be useless."
Sasuke and Shikamaru looked at each other, and Naruto watched them quietly.
"Okay. I'm fine." Sasuke said, "Naruto, Shikamaru, let's go."
"Ah."
"it is good!"
The three strode into the forest of death.
"Then, since Sasuke hasn't had a good rest, let's find a place to rest first." Naruto said, "Anyway, it's a total of five days, so leave the battle to me today."
"Yeah." Shikamaru nodded, "Well, although I'm not good at fighting, I can just leave the layout to me."
"It's rare to see you get motivated, Shikamaru." Naruto laughed.
"If you don't work hard, I'll leave you far away." Shikamaru shook his head and said.
Sasuke, who was cared by his two companions, couldn't help but smile, "Okay, I'll leave it to you today."
Compared with other teams, the seventh class did look too slack when it first entered the Death Forest.Shikamaru first found a tree hole, and then Sasuke climbed in and strangled a poisonous snake in the aborigine inside and threw it outside. Naruto was eager to try the snake meat, but Shikamaru gave up the idea with a few words.
After all, he doesn't have the strong stomach of Meteor Street, so if the conditions are not perfect, it's better not to die.
Sasuke said "I'll rest for a while" and fell asleep, Shikamaru guarded Sasuke, while Naruto went out to find food.
With their strength, even if they are separated, as long as they pay attention, it will be fine.
Naruto’s survival skills in the wild are still good, mainly thanks to Wo Jin, who lived in the forest until the age of 12, accompanied by beasts, insects and ants, but you may think that the forest is closer to "beasts" This describes him exactly.
At the age of 12, the tiger who accompanied Wo Jin day and night died. Wo Jin wanted to get out of this forest, but the forest was next to Meteor Street, so he broke into Meteor Street with one foot, and then fought with Nobunaga. They met each other and became companions, and were invited by Kuroro to join the brigade.
Wo Jin's thinking is very simple, and his thoughts are also very simple.
His first companion was the tiger he grew up with, and when the tiger died he went out of the forest to find new companions.With his companions, he keeps fighting, keeps getting stronger, kills and kills, and acts recklessly, just like he once did in the forest.
The law of the jungle is the main theme in the forest.
It is also the main theme of that world.
Wojin likes the forest very much, and when he returns to the forest, it is like returning to his hometown.Usually when the brigade is free to move around, everyone is doing their own things and making noise everywhere, but Wo Jin is very out of character and will go back to the forest to live quietly.Nobunaga stayed with him for a while, and felt that the forest was too boring, so he slipped out to kill and set fire.
And Naruto had conflicts with Kuroro for a while, so he went to play with Wo Jin. The two stayed in the forest for more than three months. During those three months, Wo Jin gave him a lot of knowledge about survival in the wild, and today , came in handy in the dead forest.
The small white mushrooms and the grass will make the soup delicious. Maybe they can dig out a pot with stones... But it’s not practical to bring a pot in this situation, so it’s better to barbecue Bar.
When it comes to BBQ, it's still...
Naruto threw a kunai backhand and nailed a hare over there to the tree.
Yay, we have appetizers for tonight.
Sasuke was sleeping peacefully(...) in the tree hole, and Shikamaru stood in front of the tree hole and used the branches to draw grimaces on the ground to think about the problem.The connotation of this competition, the participants...
The scrolls of the seventh class are kept by Shikamaru. Shikamaru originally thought it would be better to give it to Sasuke or Naruto, but Naruto made such a decision directly.
"Objectively speaking, I am the weakest, so the scroll is not very safe with me." Shikamaru said.
"Whether the scroll is on you or not, you will be the main target of the enemy." Naruto said, "So it doesn't matter who is on it, and you are the smartest of us, it is better for you to have the scroll on you Let’s use our wisdom.”
"That's true." Seeing that Naruto said so, Shikamaru also agreed.
protected.He thought so in his heart.
There was a sound in the woods, Shikamaru looked up, and saw Naruto coming out of the bushes with a few fruits in his arms.
"Unlucky, I didn't see anything to eat, but I picked a few fruits." Naruto said, "You guys eat first."
"Yeah." Shikamaru nodded.
"Give some to Sasuke." Naruto said as he walked towards Shikamaru.
Shikamaru stepped back to the side and said, "Well, go and wake him up yourself, I don't want to be implicated by his getting up."
"Hey, hey." Naruto said so, and handed Shikamaru one of the fruits in his hand. The plump and juicy wild fruit looked very delicious.
"It's not poisonous, is it?" Shikamaru asked suspiciously.
"Ah? Ah, no, no, I've already eaten one." Naruto said.
"Oh." Shikamaru said.
Naruto over there watched him take a bite and showed a satisfied smile, then climbed into the tree hole and planned to wake Sasuke up.
His back was facing Shikamaru, so Shikamaru couldn't see that there was an extra shuriken in his palm.
"Naruto" approached Sasuke with an extremely dark smile on the corner of his mouth.
