Konoha: I, Naruto, will eat the Forest-Forest Fruit!

"Well... it seems Naruto is putting a lot of pressure on you guys."

Yongdai Mei looked at the hardworking crowd and shook her head with a light smile.

But then he looked at the persistent Erzhuzi and felt a little helpless.

Erzhuzi has been working very hard lately, practically neglecting sleep and meals.

He worked even harder after realizing he didn't have the talent to train the Flying Thunder God Technique.

Kakashi rolled his eyes. Lately, he'd been getting scolded for trying to slack off and watch Icha Icha Paradise.

After all, my body has been rusty for many years, so I definitely need to take it easy when I go up to a high intensity level.

"Teachers, the feeling of being surpassed by students... is really stressful."

"Did you feel the same way back then?"

"What?"

Yongdaimei's smile remained as gentle as ever.

But at that moment, the gentle smile felt like the sharpest blade piercing Kakashi's heart.

"Well... it's my fault for being too cowardly before, wasting so much precious time. It's normal to be surpassed."

"However, I think with my talent of becoming a Jonin at the age of twelve, I will catch up soon."

Looking at the stubborn and somewhat arrogant Kakashi, Yongdai smiled and shook her head.

This child's image in the eyes of other children has recently completely collapsed.

Yongdai knew that this was the real Kakashi.

It looks exactly like it did back then.

"Not bad, Kakashi, your talent is also quite good. Even among the current Jonin, you are one of the best."

"Aren't you going to continue training in Lightning Release Chakra Nature Transformation?"

"I think Sasuke's Chidori Stream is pretty good. Combined with your father's swordsmanship, that kid has gained another powerful technique."

Kakashi lay sprawled on the ground, looking completely defeated.

He habitually reached into his pocket, then frowned. Where was the Intimate Paradise?

"My body has reached its limit, I need to rest for a while."

"It seems that Kakashi-sensei isn't under enough pressure."

A few of the younger members came over to ask Yongdai for advice, and just then they saw Kakashi lying on the ground.

"Hmph, I've already mastered your father's swordsmanship. It's very strong. Kakashi, you haven't fully mastered it yet, have you?"

"You're really useless."

Erzhuzi poured cold water on the situation without any mercy.

In fact, Kakashi has done enough, even deserving of his talent.

But it also depends on who you're comparing it to.

Combined with years of neglect, well, my arms are in pretty good shape now.

The usually quiet and reserved Shino Aburame spoke up.

One sentence almost caused Kakashi to break down on the spot.

"Kakashi-sensei has already worked very hard. He's even stopped watching 'Make-Out Paradise' now. Although he still looks a bit down, his kidney energy has been replenished, and his spirit is slowly recovering."

Yongdai smiled awkwardly. Shino, that kid... really doesn't hold back.

The other guys also understood what he meant.

They were all trying to hold back their laughter, and their faces turned red.

Only Ya and Xiao Li frowned, their faces full of confusion.

Kakashi simply turned away, pretending not to hear.

"What are you laughing at?"

"What's wrong with Kakashi-sensei?"

Ya couldn't help but ask a question.

Shikamaru was about to say something in a low voice when Sasuke just gave a cold laugh.

"Shino means that Kakashi has kidney deficiency."

Rumbling--

Kaka's brain has crashed.

Yong led the girl away with an awkward smile.

Hopefully, no one remembers that someone's teacher was themselves.

It's a bit embarrassing.

On the other side, Kushina has also begun to master her superhuman strength.

The atmosphere among the girls became even better.

During breaks, they would sit together and chat amicably.

When talking about Tsunade.

The girls' eyes lit up; she was the idol of most of the female ninjas in Konoha.

However, this was exposed by Kushina.

Tsunade's image plummeted.

Fearing they wouldn't believe her, Kushina also revealed all the things that had happened to her when she was a child, including how Tsunade had tricked her many times.

"Hmph, I now seriously suspect that Tsunade lost my entire street!"

"Ah... back when I was pregnant with Naruto, I was even collecting rent."

"The other tenants are all very easy to talk to, except for Nine-Lama, who has lived here for so long and still hasn't paid rent!"

The Nine Lamas, who was busy calculating accounts, glanced at her, but adhering to the principle that it's better to avoid trouble, he lowered his head and continued calculating.

Naruto sat to the side meditating, his shadow clones constantly transmitting back memories and experiences, which he needed to process.

The two separated white, rare wooden clones, one entered the Forest Immortal Mode and the other entered the Nature Immortal Mode.

They were dispatched to find the entrance to Ryuchi Cave that connects to the Ninja World.

In addition, he left his mark of the Flying Thunder God all over the world.

There are many things that need to be done by them.

Today, many outsiders have flocked to Konoha Village.

The Chunin Exams are just around the corner.

Naruto exits meditation.

"Let's go, our morning exercise ends here."

......

In no time, Class 7 completed the task of finding the pet cat in less than ten minutes.

"Naruto-kun is amazing! Can he really communicate with plants?"

Sakura picked up the cute little chubby cat and turned to ask curiously.

Erzhuzi put his hands in his pockets and looked up at the sky.

His cold heart had been numbed by the stimulation.

"Yes, they're greeting me right now."

"Alright, the mission is over, we should head back."

Erzhuzi then asked a question that raised his doubts:

"Naruto, logically speaking, our efficiency shouldn't require us to come out and take on missions every day."

"It's the other classes that need to put on a show."

Sakura chuckled softly:

"Sasuke, look, you're getting anxious again."

"Naruto-kun has been putting on an act in front of that old man all this time. If he suddenly stops taking on missions, it might arouse suspicion."

"Moreover, Naruto-kun... intends to make the old man think that he has completely controlled Naruto-kun. The more smug he is, the more painful it will be for the Konoha Collapse Plan."

"Besides, it won't take us long to complete a mission."

Sakura: The main thing is that I can spend more time alone with Naruto-kun~

Kaka Xu finished his meditation, stood up, and took the little fat cat from him.

"The mission is complete. You can go back now. I'll meditate here for a while longer and then go turn in the mission when the time is right."

"Kakashi, are you planning to secretly watch 'Make-Out Paradise'?"

"fart!"

"My lovemaking paradise is gone!"

Kakashi couldn't help but let out a howl.

But in the blink of an eye, all three of them disappeared.

Hearing Kakashi's howl from afar, Sakura chuckled to herself.

"Sasuke, if you keep provoking Kakashi-sensei like this, he won't be able to sleep tonight."

"Hmph, Aunt Kushina is right, Kakashi just exudes... We should just throw away all those trashy books!"

If the plant hadn't told Naruto that Sasuke hadn't actually destroyed the books, but instead brought them all back to the Uchiha clan's territory, he probably would have believed it.

Later I found out... that kid sold all the books to Matt Kee...

However, at that very moment...

Suddenly, a hawk appeared in the sky, its sharp cry piercing the heavens.

Naruto vanished from his spot in an instant, and when he reappeared, Mitarashi Anko and Yuhi Kurenai were standing on either side of him.

"Are we about to begin?"

"Well then, Naruto, we'll head over now."

"Yes, the task assignments will probably be the same as I said. Hong, keep an eye on Hongdou, otherwise she won't be able to keep her composure."

As soon as I finished speaking, that familiar feeling of suffocation returned.

"Honestly, I'm not that stupid."

Let's go!

Smack—x2

The Chunin Exams are about to begin.

The good days for the ninja bear have begun to count down.

"I'm heading back now. I must apply the Chidori Stream to my ninja sword today!"

Erzhuzi had no intention of wasting any time.

Seeing hope, no, being bathed in hope, he became even more unable to suppress his desire to kill Itachi.

There was no deliberate guidance from that stinky old sixth brother, Obito.

Instead, it's an analysis by Eiryuu and Shikamaru.

He roughly understood why his older brother had carried out the mission of the Night of the Genocide.

However, the current Erzhuzi is not the Erzhuzi from the original story.

The onlookers chimed in with their comments, and in an instant, Erzhuzi saw the true nature of the matter.

The babies he had just held before that night had all been dealt with by the filial son.

His biological parents still killed him in front of him.

Whether he forgives or not in his heart.

In any case, his resolve to kill the filial son only grew stronger.

Look, this is the only normal person in the Uchiha clan.

"Naruto-kun, Aunt Kushina... she doesn't hate me, does she?"

Naruto looked completely bewildered.

"How could that be?"

"I think Mom treats you all the same normally... but she treats you differently every day."

"Okay... Hong and her sister Hongdou always get a little targeted."

"Naruto-kun, shall we walk back? It's been so long since we've taken a walk."

Sakura immediately put on a smile and naturally put her arm around Naruto's arm.

Well, so it turns out he was just looking for an excuse to take advantage of others.

Sakura was having a good time when suddenly, an annoying voice came from behind her.

"Hmph, isn't that Naruto Uzumaki who ambushed me?"

"Hey, what's up with that ugly freak next to you?"

"Where are those two pretty older sisters from before?"

Ugly monster?!

The pink-haired girl hardened her fist.

Naruto was slightly startled.

"How could I run into that?"

"coincide?"

Looking back.

The person who arrived was indeed Konohamaru.

However, this time he called in two wheat harvesters.

Konoha version of Ado Udon, and (should I write that biography?) Kazamatsuri Moegi, who temporarily possesses the bloodline of the Senju clan and has the Wood Release bloodline limit.

Ever since his last failed attempt to ambush Naruto, when he was kicked away by Naruto.

Konohamaru remembered Naruto completely.

This kid has a slightly cheeky personality.

He ignores anyone who's nice to him, since my grandpa is the Hokage anyway.

Those who treated him badly, even those who beat him.

He not only didn't hate them, but even admired them to some extent.

After all, he's the grandson of the Hokage; who in Konoha would dare to challenge him?

This made Konohamaru feel that he was being treated normally by others.

Konohamaru, that was Naruto's first success with his talk-no-jutsu!

There are many people more powerful than Naruto, but Konohamaru is a crazy idol of Naruto, calling him "boss" and following him around like a shadow.

However, that's not the point right now. The point is that Sakura, who now possesses superhuman strength, is called an ugly monster.

Oh, to avoid being seen as immature because of my young age, I gritted my teeth and endured it.

Konohamaru also brought Moegi and Udon forward.

Get right up close and unleash your ultimate attack!

"Naruto, why is this ugly guy holding your hand the whole time?"

"hateful!"

"Is this ugly monster clinging to you?!"

Konohamaru pointed at Sakura, whose forehead veins were bulging, and made a very obvious guess.

Sakura, who had originally planned to pretend to be Sakura in front of Naruto, couldn't hold back any longer.

I could pretend I didn't hear it just now.

Now people are taking advantage of us and going all out.

If she continues to endure it, and Ino and the others find out, won't they laugh at her for being a coward?

Especially the experience of being teased for having a wide forehead when I was a child.

She was very concerned about her appearance.

Especially now, she's calling him an ugly monster right in front of Naruto.

My sensitive heart was touched.

This is intolerable!

"Hello!"

"You brat with crooked teeth, who are you calling ugly?"

Sakura said with a forced smile.

The fists were already cracking.

"Hmph, Naruto, where did this ugly monster come from?"

"Not only is she ugly, she's also not very bright!"

Naruto: "..."

He closed his eyes.

boom--

next moment.

Konohamaru has grown taller.

A fleshy bun appeared on his head.

Being young is great; you can just fall asleep the moment your head hits the pillow.

"Konoha... Maru?"

Udon was so frightened that he stammered and couldn't utter a complete sentence.

"Konoha Wan, how are you?"

Meng Huang expressed concern verbally, but dared not move an inch.

"I...I think...I think I saw my great-grandmother..."

Konohamaru's eyes were glazed over, and his consciousness was blurred.

"Naruto-kun, let's go, this brat is in the way."

With that, the pink-haired girl glared fiercely at Konohamaru on the ground, snorted, and pulled Naruto away.

"Damn it... is that ugly... thing really a woman?"

"Meng Huang, you must never follow her example..."

ga-

No sooner had he finished speaking than Konohamaru noticed that Moegi and Udon seemed to have learned the Body Flicker Technique.

In the blink of an eye, she had distanced herself from him.

He then realized that the sunlight no longer seemed so bright.

Konohamaru's body stiffened, and he slowly turned his head, trembling.

"Konohamaru...?!"

Mogi and Udon called out softly, both trembling with fear at the aura emanating from Sakura.

Turning around, he saw Sakura looking at him with a bright smile.

Konohamaru was so frightened, as if he had seen a vengeful ghost, that he retreated repeatedly.

"ah--!!!"

With a scream, Moegi and Udon also started screaming.

He turned and ran.

whoosh-

His speed is comparable to that of Li.

Sakura put her hands on her hips and saw that they had run away in fright.

Then he clapped his hands and said, "Hmph."

In the blink of an eye, she put on a gentle smile and ran to Naruto's side like a lady.

"I'm sorry, Naruto-kun, for taking so long."

"It's alright, let's go."

Naruto shook his head helplessly. Sure enough, Sakura had left Konohamaru with a lingering fear.

However, before he could finish speaking, a painful groan came from not far behind him.

"It hurts!"

Konohamaru collapsed to the ground.

Moegi and Udon, who were initially terrified, were now stuck in their shells.

Did I not check the Chinese almanac before going out today?

This time, Konohamaru has angered another man who looks terrifying.

"Ouch, that hurts!"

Konohamaru covered his head as an unpleasant and murderous voice reached his ears.

He quickly looked up and saw a strange man with a painted face standing in front of him, staring coldly at him.

He also carried a ninja tool wrapped in bandages on his back.

The aura emanating from him made him feel very uncomfortable, yet at the same time, it instilled fear in him.

Standing next to the strange man was a female ninja with four golden ponytails.

She was wearing a purple dress.

Her beautiful face was etched with a deep indifference.

The two stared at Konohamaru, which frightened him so much that he couldn't speak.

"Kid, that hurts!"

Kankuro lifted Konohamaru up like a chick, his face full of displeasure.

Are all the brats in Konoha like this?

You hit someone and didn't even apologize?

"what!"

Konohamaru was in excruciating pain as the clothes were strangling his neck, and he couldn't help but let out a scream.

"Hmph, forget it, don't cause trouble at a time like this."

Temari crossed her arms, glanced at Konohamaru's pathetic appearance, and then said something.

However, Kankuro ignored her and stared at Konohamaru with a cruel smile on his face.

"When you're bored, you need to find something to do, and this kid is a good candidate."

A ninja from another village?

Mogi and Udon didn't recognize their headbands.

Udon stood there dumbfounded, not knowing what to do, and could only look at Konohamaru.

Moegi was a bit smarter; she turned around and ran to find Sakura.

"Big sister, save Konohamaru! Someone from another village is trying to bully him!"

Sakura frowned and looked at Naruto.

"Is it someone else who's wrong?"

"And why should I save him?"
