Naruto, what kind of Hokage would you be if you didn't roll around!

Tazuna quickly said, "Keep your voice down, Naruto! It'll be terrible if Gato and his gang find out!"

"We'll be able to see the Land of Waves soon..."

"Oh……"

Dazner was right. As the small boat sailed through the sea fog, the first thing that came into view was the half-built bridge, spanning the sea. It looked magnificent, but then it came to an abrupt end.

"What a magnificent bridge!"

Tazuna had mixed feelings, but he also felt a bit smug after hearing Naruto's words.

"When it comes to bridge-building technology, the Land of Waves is second to none!"

Hinata exclaimed, "If this can be accomplished, the Land of Waves will be closely connected to the Land of Fire..."

Dazner gave a wry smile.

"But it has to be actually completed..."

Seeing that no one was around, Tazuna quietly brought the small boat to shore, and Naruto and his group finally set foot on the land of the Land of Waves.

Naruto looked around curiously and could see that this was indeed a poor island nation, just as Tazuna had said. There were only a few pedestrians on the street, and their faces were all gloomy.

Why do all these people look so gloomy?

Tazner sighed, "They've all lost something..."

"what?"

"hope."

Naruto felt a jolt in his heart and understood Tazuna's meaning.

"Let's go."

The group followed Tazuna back to his home, where a typical Yamato Nadeshiko (ideal Japanese woman) came out to greet them.

"Father, thank God, you're finally back safe and sound..."

Dazner introduced, "This is my daughter, Tsushima."

"Tsunami, these are the Konoha ninja who escorted me back safely: Lord Kakashi, Naruto, Sasuke, Hinata..."

Jinbo hurriedly said, "Thank you all for protecting my father's safety. I am extremely grateful!"

Naruto smiled smugly: "It's nothing, it's just our duty as ninjas!"

Suddenly, he noticed someone peeking at him, and when he looked over, he saw a small figure shrink back.

Tazuna said somewhat awkwardly, "That's my grandson, Inari. He... has become a bit strange because of his father's situation. Please forgive him..."

Naruto had heard Tazuna talk about Inari's father, or more accurately, his adoptive father, Kaisa, who was a brave and strong man.

He once saved Inari from drowning and joined Tazuna's family.

He later became a hero of the Land of Waves for repairing the dam.

When Gato attempted to rule the entire Land of Waves with his brutal power, Keisha bravely organized a self-defense force to resist, but was cruelly executed and killed in public by Gato.

From then on, Inari, who idolized her father and heroes, became gloomy and pessimistic, and no longer believed in hope.

Naruto was moved by what he heard and initially wanted to talk to Inari, but then he thought about it again...

Instead of chatting idly, why not calm your mind and cultivate yourself?

In this life, Naruto, while still retaining his lively and energetic nature, certainly doesn't talk as much.

After all, whenever he had free time, the system would force him to train, and over time, Naruto developed a habit of self-discipline.

in other words……

The art of persuasion has been nerfed to an epic degree!

The Tazuna family warmly welcomed Naruto and his group.

He knew he was in the wrong, so he used the C-level mission fee to hire a B-level or even A-level team.

Putting aside others, Kakashi Hatake alone would easily be worth several million ryo.

The fact that someone has been deceived and can still protect themselves is no longer morally right...

It is a kindness.

So even though he was poor, Tazuna still did his best to make sure Naruto and his group had a good meal.

Naruto knew that eating was of utmost importance for training and becoming stronger, so he certainly wouldn't slack off.

Seeing him wolfing down his food, Sasuke wasn't going to be outdone and ate bowl after bowl. The two of them were locked in a fierce battle of wills, and in their spite, they ate until they were about to throw up...

Kakashi frowned as he watched.

"While it's good to eat more at this age, it's not right to throw it up..."

"Besides, we are guests after all. We can't possibly eat Mr. Tazuna's house dry, can we?"

"You two, that's enough! Why don't you look at Hinata...?"

Kakashi turned around and saw that the bowls in front of Hinata were piled up very high...

There must be at least a dozen bowls!

Kakashi was utterly shocked; his Sharingan almost popped out of his head in fright...

"Hinata, you..."

Hinata blushed and lowered her head, saying, "I'm sorry, Kakashi-sensei, I... I ate a little too much..."

Naruto laughed heartily: "Kakashi-sensei, you have no idea, Hinata is the real glutton!"

"I've already seen it all!"

Not to mention Kakashi, even Sasuke was taken aback.

"That guy actually ate more than that idiot Naruto?!"

"I really underestimated her..."

Tazuna laughed heartily: "Good, good, eat more! You're all at the age where you're growing!"

Kakashi added, "Well, after you finish eating, I'll start teaching you something during the break between missions."

Naruto, Sasuke, and Hinata all stopped eating halfway through their meals.

"Teach, teach something?!"

After all, they haven't learned anything from Kakashi-sensei yet.

Aside from frantically completing tasks, all I did was travel...

For a moment, Naruto couldn't help but feel extremely excited.

"Kakashi-sensei, what are you going to teach us?"

"Is this the most powerful ninjutsu?!"

Kakashi smiled slightly: "Well, you'll find out when the time comes."

Upon hearing this, Naruto immediately perked up and devoured the rest of his meal in a flash.

Sasuke was not to be outdone, and he also ate until the pots and pans were sparkling clean.

Hinata only tried a little, only performing at about five or six tenths of her usual gluttonous level.

After a hearty meal, Kakashi led the three men, including Tazuna himself, to a nearby forest.

This is to continue protecting Dazner.

Kakashi said, "The first lesson I'll teach you today is..."

"Climb a tree."

Naruto was taken aback.

"Climb, climb a tree?!"

"Kakashi-sensei, I've already learned this from Asuma-sensei!"

Kakashi frowned.

"Nani?"

Without wasting words, Naruto circulated his chakra, gathering it all in his feet. Then, he leaped up, easily climbing to the top and standing on a branch, looking down at the crowd with a smug expression.

Kakashi was taken aback: "You really did learn it, and you've mastered it perfectly..."

"Where are you two?"

Hinata said softly, "Um, Kakashi-sensei, I've also trained in this..."

She demonstrated it herself, climbing to the top with effortless grace.

Kakashi's heart skipped a beat. This was only natural; when it came to chakra control, maintenance, and projection, no one could compare to the Hyuga clan members...

When Naruto was training to climb trees, he even asked Hinata for advice, so she naturally already knew how.

Kakashi's gaze fell on Sasuke.

Sasuke's face turned pale, and cold sweat poured down his forehead.

"I……"

"I haven't learned it..."

Naruto was taken aback, seeing this awkward and embarrassed expression on Sasuke's face for the first time. He couldn't help but narrow his eyes, grinning and revealing a lewd smile...

"Hehehe, Saskai, finally you've got a chance to hold me back!"

"This doesn't feel good, does it?"

"Last place?"

Sasuke was instantly filled with murderous intent...

Chapter 101 Naruto: Only adults make choices! I want them all! Please vote with monthly tickets!!!

Kakashi scratched his head, somewhat surprised by this outcome.

Hinata is one thing, after all, she is the eldest daughter of the Hyuga clan, and it is completely understandable that she received special training from her family from a young age.

But he didn't expect that Naruto had already completed his tree-climbing training.

This is not at the level of a ninja academy.

He thought for a moment and said, "In that case, Naruto and Hinata can proceed to the next training session."

"That is..."

"tread water."

"This is to train the external release and sustain of chakra, which is much more difficult than climbing a tree..."

Naruto was taken aback, then raised his hand again.

"Reporting to Kakashi-sensei, I've also completed the water-treading training!"

Kakashi: "...What?!"

Without wasting words, Naruto saw the river and ran straight there. His feet instantly stepped onto the water, and his chakra hummed as it was released, supporting his body and allowing him to stand steadily on the river.

It can even walk, run, and jump...

Kakashi frowned deeply: "Good heavens, you've trained in this too?!"

"Was it Asuma who taught you that too?"

"Yes!"

Kakashi finally understood what a true genius was.

That means elementary school students are learning university courses in advance!

He sighed: "And Hinata, what about you?"

Hinata shook her head: "I haven't trained in that yet, although... although I can project my chakra..."

Kakashi understood what she meant.
