The ninja world is reborn, and everyone is resurrected at the start.

Naruto didn't hear their complaints, and the video continued playing slowly...

"I've heard about what happened to Jiraiya-sama. I've also lost my teacher. While I understand your feelings, standing still won't change anything..."

Shikamaru looked at Naruto and continued!

"We no longer hold that position!"

"What does this mean?"

[“My teacher entrusted me with many things, from important to trivial! Many things, and you too, right? This is the endless harvest! It's about time, isn't it…”] 8.

Chapter 132 A Joyous Celebration: Naruto's Birth (Part 1)

【"What?"】

"You have to go from being the one who receives a request to the one who makes a request. It's troublesome, but you have to face it. One day, you'll be the one treating someone to ramen, and you'll be called Naruto-sensei. We can't stay kids forever. We have to become cool ninjas like Asuma and Jiraiya-sama!"

"Yeah, thanks, Shikamaru!"

"Cheer up! You still have things you absolutely must do!"

After saying that, Shikamaru took out a photo with Jiraiya's code on it!

【"oh!"】

Naruto smiled, a smile he hadn't shown in a long time...

And at this point, the video gradually went dark...

"Naruto and Shikamaru have become very good friends!"

"Yes! It's fortunate that Naruto has so many good friends around him now..."

"Even though his heart is filled with pain, he can pull himself together as long as there is a glimmer of light. This child is truly strong!"

"I heard that Shikamaru eventually became Naruto's best ally!"

"No surprise! The Nara family has always been highly intelligent, making them the most suitable candidates for the Hokage's assistant!"

"Hmph, the Hokage certainly has a lot of talented people around him!"

"It was the Raikage, on his way to the Land of Fire, who said this with jealousy!"

"Who can argue with that? If I had a helper like Shikamaru, my work would be infinitely easier..."

Darui, who was standing beside him, agreed!

"Hmph, I'll think of a way later to see if I can lure him and that brat Choji to the Land of Lightning together!"

"980" "...One of them is the heir to the Nara family, and the other is the heir to the Akimichi family. It's probably going to be difficult..."

Darui, who had worked with the Raikage for many years, already knew about the Raikage's thought process, but he was still shocked when he heard that the Raikage was going to abduct the heirs of two important Konoha clans!

"If kidnapping doesn't work, do you know if there are any suitable girls in our village? How about we use our charms to bring them to Thundershadow Village?"

"Choji is alright, he has Karui, but Shikamaru is hard to find!"

Besides, they're both still children; if anyone's going to be abducted, it should be their father!

Unbeknownst to him, Darui had been successfully led astray by the Fourth Raikage, A!

"That's true. Shikamaru's father, Nara Shikaku, was also a smart man. During the Fourth Shinobi World War, he offered many useful suggestions!"

Ai nodded, clearly agreeing with Darui's statement!

"Isn't it a bit inappropriate for the two of you to be openly discussing how to abduct a high-ranking member of Konoha like this!"

Just as the two were getting more and more into their conversation, a somewhat helpless voice reached their ears!

Then, a short woman slowly descended from the sky!

"Oonoki, what are you doing here?"

Ai and Darui were both somewhat surprised to see who had arrived!

"Our campsite isn't far from here. We spotted you during the day when we were surveying the surrounding area, but we didn't have a chance to say hello!"

Onoki didn't stand on ceremony at all, picked up the wine from the ground and drank it!

"camping?"

Since there was no communication between the countries, they were unaware that all the high-ranking officials of the ninja world were beginning to converge on Konoha!

"Yes, we're heading to Konoha, and I bet you're going the same way!"

As a cunning old fox, Onoki immediately saw through the purpose of the trip to the Land of Clouds!

"Hmph, what a coincidence!"

Ai, who was seen through, was not annoyed. After smiling slightly, she started chatting with Onoki!

"What is the main purpose of your trip to Konoha?"

Darui threw a piece of wood into the fire and asked curiously.

"Our Land of Earth's daimyo is very interested in this legendary Naruto Uzumaki. Hearing that he's about to be born, he insists on going to see him in person..."

Onoki sighed helplessly and said slowly.

"It seems that all of us daimyo are this willful!"

Picking up the wine from the ground and toasting Onoki, the Fourth Raikage, A, said with empathy, "I understand what you're saying!"

"Then why are you here? Logically speaking, even if a daimyo is traveling, he shouldn't be personally escorted by you, the Tsuchikage!"

"After all, Naruto is a hero of the ninja world, and he has saved many people in our Kumogakure. Anyway, I don't have anything to do recently, so let's go to Konoha together!"

And what about you guys? The goals of the two Raikages who went to Konoha together were probably similar to mine!

"Yeah! And that guy is still in Konoha. Knowing his personality, I'm afraid he'll make a mess of Konoha, so I'm not too comfortable with him!"

And so, the three shadows who met unexpectedly started chatting in the wild!

Meanwhile, in Konoha, everyone was also discussing the content of the video!

"Shikaku, please thank your Shikamaru properly for me!"

Minato smiled slightly and looked at Nara Shikaku, saying...

"Ugh, this is such a hassle!"

Although Nara Shikaku said it was troublesome, a proud smile involuntarily appeared on his face!

"What a wonderful friendship, isn't it, Kushina!"

Miroku, standing to the side, smiled as he looked at Kushina, who was still convulsing!

"Yes! Naruto's efforts paid off!"

Kushina answered haltingly.

"Tsunade, you..."

Meanwhile, Jiraiya looked at Tsunade with some concern!

At this moment, Tsunade still had her head down, and no one could see her expression!

"Jiraiya, let's make a promise!"

After a long silence, Tsunade finally spoke!

"Tell me! What are we betting on?"

Jiraiya looked intently at Tsunade!

"If in the future we put down our burdens, and if you haven't changed your original intentions, and I haven't married, and we both survive the invasion of the Otsutsuki clan, then let's just make do with each other for the rest of our lives!"

"...OK!"

After a long silence, Jiraiya answered!

"If you can leave behind a few cells, and if one day you really die in battle, I will use the Impure World Reincarnation to revive you. Moreover, you can tell me what kind of physique you want, and I will modify your body for you!"

Orochimaru looked at his two teammates and said with a smile!

"If that's not enough, I can borrow Nagato's Rinnegan and use the Rinne Rebirth technique to help you!"

Obito continued immediately!

"...Thank you, thank you!"

Jiraiya gave an awkward smile!

"If that's the case, why wait until the Otsutsuki clan invades? They can be together now!"

Hiding behind Shoyuki Fuka, Koyuki Fuka spoke timidly!

"Now is not the time!"

Tsunade shook her head and refused!

"why?"

Lin looked puzzled and asked with some curiosity!

“We each have things we can’t let go of. Jiraiya can’t put down his pen, and I can’t let go of the knot in my heart! Forcing ourselves to be together now will only make us both suffer!”

After thinking about it, everyone realized that Tsunade's words weren't entirely unreasonable!
