My ninjutsu is not right

Chapter 25 Something I'm a Little Concerned About

"I want to challenge you!"

Uzumaki Naruto jumped out and shouted.

Trouble is coming.

Link felt a headache. What was going on? Why didn't you just follow me? I had already accepted your following, and you suddenly jumped out to challenge me on my way home.

How about we go back and continue tracking?

People always like to settle for second best.

"I won't accept your challenge." He said calmly. As a psychological adult, he could understand the other party's desire to be recognized by others, so he could treat the unreasonable guy calmly and rationally.

It’s not the time traveler looking at the natives, it’s the adults looking at the children.

Link didn't say anything and just walked away. Based on his understanding of the Child of Destiny, it was unlikely that he would attack from behind someone who had no will to fight.

So just ignore this guy and walk away.

Uzumaki Naruto put his hands on his hips and shouted, "Why, are you scared, little brat?"

Little ghost? ! !

Link stopped, took a deep breath, and continued walking. It didn't matter. It was just a name, just a name. Don't take it to heart.

I am an adult, yes, I am an adult, I can't argue with a little kid.

Uzumaki Naruto quickly rushed to the front, "Hey, I'm talking to you, kid, you're so rude!"

"First of all." Link paused, took a deep breath, and said, "I'm not some little devil."

"Secondly, I won't fight you."

"Very good, Link. You really have the demeanor of a mature adult. You will definitely become a Chunin very soon."

As he suspected that the Sandaime Hokage or other Anbu were watching, he straightened his back and tried to make his expression as nonchalant as possible.

Improvisational performance, now starting!
"Here~" Uzumaki Naruto raised his palm and held it level with his face until it was above Link's head.

Well, he is 1.45 meters tall and Link is just over 1.2 meters tall. When both of them are wearing shoes, the gap doesn't narrow much.

Twenty centimeters height difference...

Boom!
Link felt like something in his head snapped, and his body moved on its own, doing a very standard downward sweep kick.

"Boom!"

Uzumaki Naruto fell to the ground.

Link stretched out his hands from his knees to the top of the guy's head, and said condescendingly: "Listen carefully, this is how I call you little devil."

[It is indeed a very troublesome matter.]

He sighed secretly. From what he knew, this guy would never give up. Unless he moved away and stopped going to Ichiraku Ramen in the village, otherwise...

Hey.

[Damn it, I'm just still growing]

Link muttered silently, it was normal for a nine-year-old to be a little over 1.2 meters tall, he would grow up soon, and would definitely become a big man of 1.8 meters, no, 2 meters tall in the future.

[If that doesn't work, I'll find a ninjutsu that can make me taller! ]

He thought fiercely, [I will drive a Gundam when the time comes. If I have the guts, we can compare heights. A mere Nine-Tails Jinchuriki...] Thinking of this, he quickly left the spot. "Damn, this guy is so powerful..." Uzumaki Naruto rubbed his injured arm and stood up, his face full of fighting spirit. What he feared was never indifference, but the stinging disgust.

Not surprisingly, Link really got into trouble.

Trouble in every sense of the word.
-
Hokage's office.

[A Genin with Chunin abilities]

"Saltwater, you think really highly of this kid."

The Sandaime Hokage closed Nara Yuito's report on Team 5. In fact, a normal Genin team would not have this part.

But Team Five is different. Link has shown more and more special abilities, and the village has paid more and more attention to him. His chakra amount has decreased, and the speed of releasing secret techniques has slowed down, but based on his performance on the training ground that day, his appearance on the battlefield can completely change the battle situation of the Chunin and Genin.

It is indeed not good enough for a jonin, but how many standard jonin of Konoha Village can there be in a local war?
During the war, Link should have been promoted to Chunin and sent to the front line of the battlefield as a candidate for 'Special Jonin' or 'Jounin'.

Now is a peaceful time, so -

"Yanxi, it looks like I'll have to trouble you for a while longer." The Sandaime Hokage said with a gentle smile on his face.

He is the third generation who inherited the will of fire. Just as the first generation hoped, children are the hope of the future. Since old bones like him can hold on for a while, there is no need to rush the new generation to experience the cruelty of the ninja world too early.

Nara Yui touched the back of his head and smiled, "Well, they don't really give me a lot of worry." In fact, Iris and Kasumi's qualifications and talents are still a little lacking.

Fortunately, Link is very easy to worry about. Not only does he perform well himself, but he also manages his two teammates very well.

When he was learning to climb trees and tread water, he was generous with his insights and tips and passed them on to his companions, except that his personality was a little too mature and cold.

In his mind, this child is the most pleasing to the eye among all the little kids he has ever seen.

[The kids nowadays are more troublesome than the others, especially Shikamaru from Shikaku-sama’s family. That guy…]

His thoughts wandered a little, and he couldn't help but compare the two little ghosts he had come into contact with.

"Swoosh~" An Anbu appeared beside the Sandaime Hokage, reported a few words softly, and went into the shadows.

The smile on the Sandaime Hokage's face became more obvious. He took out a crystal ball from the drawer and used the telescope technique with ease. The image of Uzumaki Naruto appeared on the crystal ball.

Konoha's Nine-Tails Jinchuriki was hiding in the bushes and secretly spying on the three members of Team 5 in the distance.

The sneaky look is really... kind of funny.

The Sandaime Hokage did not avoid Nara Yuito when he released the telescope technique, so he followed and took a look. When he saw the scene, he roughly knew why he was peeping in front of him.

Then their attention was drawn to the three people from Class 5. With their keen eyesight, they could easily infer what the three people were doing from their rehearsal movements and fragmented words.

"What a mature child..." the Sandaime Hokage sighed.

Even in wartime, children who were forced to grow up did not have such qualities.

After so much observation, he has already tended to promote Link to Chunin after a while, so that he can further train the child.

As he grows older and his body weakens, he is increasingly unable to handle many things. While he can still give some energy, he should devote some resources to the children he cares about and give them training, which is also an investment in the future of the village.

The two watched in silence for a while, until they saw Uzumaki Naruto jump out to provoke Link, and then -

[Listen carefully, I am calling you "little devil"]

Having witnessed Link's childish behavior with his own eyes, the Sandaime looked up at Nara Yuito with a smile on his face, and there was a strange sense of relief on both of their faces.

Overly mature children are always distressing...
