"..."
Naruto stared at Wang Quan blankly. After a while, he said in a strange tone, "If your eyes weren't normal, I would have doubted whether your last name was Uchiha."
"baffling."
Wang Quan shook his head and said, "In short, the bond is clearly still weakening me. Although my foundation is very strong, this weakening won't be too much of a problem for the time being, but the bond clearly can't help us become stronger."
"You're just as stubborn as Sasuke."
Naruto looked at Wang Quan seriously, earnestly and solemnly.
"In short, bonds can indeed make people stronger. Whenever I sit alone in the village at dusk, in front of the swing, looking at the sunset in the sky and thinking, my heart is filled with longing and worry for my friend. I know that he has deep pain and anger in his heart, which is left by the genocide of the Uchiha clan, a shadow that I cannot understand. I want to understand Sasuke, I want to help him, and even more so, I want to bring him back - it is this desire that ignites my fighting spirit and supports me to complete those difficult trainings. So there is no doubt that bonds can make people stronger!"
"..."
"..."
"..."
After a long silence, Wang Quan turned around silently, looked at his friend and said hesitantly, "Is there something wrong with my ears? Why do I feel that the word 'bond' that Naruto-kun is muttering sounds so much like love?"
"How can it be love?"
Li Xiaolang said embarrassedly.
"Is it love?"
Illya said in astonishment.
"It should be considered love, right?"
Miyu said uncertainly.
"If only it were love."
Lihua said with great longing.
"What are you talking about?"
Naruto looked at the four children in front of him, all of whom, except for Li Syaoran, quickly reached the consensus that 'it must be love', in confusion: "How can there be love between Sasuke and me? Sasuke is a man, and the one I love is 'Sakura'."
"..."
"..."
"..."
After a long silence, Li Syaoran corrected himself and said, "Sorry, I was wrong. This is undeniable love! Sakura and the others are just outsiders who get in the way of our love. I feel deeply about this."
Looking at Li Syaoran who was patting his chest to guarantee, Naruto said with a twitch of his mouth: "What are you talking about? And how is Sakura in the way? Every time I am with Sakura, I feel a little closer to Sasuke."
"hiss……"
Wang Quan panicked and covered Lihua's ears. He looked at Naruto in horror and said, "Whatever the relationship between you three is, it has nothing to do with us elementary school students! Please don't taint the pure hearts of children, okay?!"
Elementary School Students and the Business Empire: Chapter 203: Hokage's Students
Amidst the chorus of "It is love as expected", Uzumaki Naruto's heart was obviously traumatized. He could only squat in the corner dejectedly, continuing to draw black circles while muttering, "We are brothers, not in love."
Tsunade, who had just finished enjoying the show, shook her head helplessly and said, "It seems his experience can't help you. Then we can only practice step by step, starting with chakra training. Are you willing to become my students?"
"student?"
Wang Quan scratched his head hesitantly. "It sounds like it's going to take a lot of time, but we still have to help the Dean deliver the books."
"In a hurry?"
"It's not urgent."
Wang Quan shook his head and said, "After all, the Dean of Studies didn't set a time limit for us to deliver it, so we should have a few days to practice."
"That'll be easy."
Tsunade nodded and said, "I will teach you as much as I can in the next few days. You can learn as much as you can. If you can't learn it, you can take it away and learn it later. You can also take away S-level ninjutsu if you want - is this enough?"
"Enough is enough."
Wang Quan waved his hand and said, "It's just a few books, that's enough."
"These are not just a few books."
Seeing the elementary school student agreed, Tsunade breathed a sigh of relief, then tossed her robe and said, "Then there's no time to lose. Let's hurry up. If your talent is high enough, even if it's only for a few days, maybe we can..."
Lihua excitedly pulled Wang Quan to follow. Li Syaoran, who already had his own power system, Illya and Miyu just followed behind with interest, intending to see how the people in this world practiced. Soon the originally bustling office became deserted, leaving only a desolate figure still squatting on the ground drawing circles one after another.
------------
Just as Lihua was getting ready to gain new strength through practice and say goodbye to the days of being a bystander, the senior people on the other side also quickly took action.
On the one hand, the captain sent people to continue monitoring the newcomer, and on the other hand, he and his teammates disguised themselves and began to sneak into the Hokage's office building.
However, when they first went to the Hokage Building, the veterans just took a look from afar and went back home. As an important place where the Hokage often appeared, the building was extremely strictly guarded. Not only were there ninjas who were good at using their Byakugan to stare at every corner 360 degrees, but there were also various strange ninja tools ready to give intruders a big surprise at any time. It was impossible to see the Hokage in that building by ordinary means.
However, this did not pose a problem for the experienced veterans. They quickly adjusted their plan and used some tricks to arrange two inconspicuous jobs for themselves: garbage collector and sanitation staff. In this way, the veterans were able to sneak into the Hokage Building very smoothly.
"Well... although it was to complete the mission, but... uh..."
The senior female in a suit suppressed her nausea and used tongs to pick up various household garbage from the trash can one by one. The pungent smell of the garbage made her cover her mouth and nose tightly. Although the mask and gloves could protect her from the garbage as much as possible, the strong feeling of discomfort in her heart still made her hands tremble slightly.
"We've all been through mountains of blood and mountains of corpses. Just bear with this piece of trash for a while."
The captain sorted the garbage while lowering his voice and said, "This is the only way we can get closer to our target. This is also the only way we can have a chance to tell the Fifth Hokage, Senju Tsunade, that Pain is about to invade in full force and ask her to quickly strengthen the defenses."
"I know. Although I know... I'd rather fight the boss than do this kind of thing."
The woman in the suit said this dejectedly while picking up the mop and broom in the corner and started to get busy again. From cleaning the guest rooms to wiping the lobby floor, she did everything meticulously in order to keep the job, which made the ninjas coming and going couldn't help but agree that the newcomer was really efficient at her job.
"All right."
Looking at his teammate who was holding his waist, the captain nodded and said softly, "It's time to move on to the next step."
The eyes of the woman in the suit lit up.
"Next is the restroom. I'll take care of the men's room, and you'll take care of the women's room."
The captain warned, "The odor there is so strong that a single mask won't be enough to block it. You'd better bring an extra one, and be sure to distract yourself from the suspiciously colored liquid and any lumps that might be present."
The woman in the suit covered her mouth and nose tightly. The scene she would face was nauseating enough just to imagine.
"There's nothing we can do about it."
The captain sighed helplessly: "We are new here, and it is already great to find such a job. Who doesn't want a job that allows them to easily get close to the Fifth Hokage? The problem is that we can't find it."
The woman in the suit raised her finger to her head with a hint of impulse in her eyes.
"I bet the Hokage is right above us, can't we just rush in and spoil it with her?!"
"It's not that easy."
The captain shook his head helplessly and said, "There are too many people around. If we act rashly, it will definitely attract the attention of the Konoha Root. Then there will definitely be some unexpected complications. So we have to take it slow and steady. We can't be so direct and contact the Fifth Hokage so quickly. You and I both need to be patient."
"..."
After a moment's silence, the woman in the suit twitched her lips and said, "Captain, what did you just say? Could you please repeat it?"
The captain looked at his teammates in confusion and repeated, "We need to take it slow. Direct contact with the Fifth Hokage will lead to unexpected consequences."
"But……"
The senior female in a suit murmured, "Then why do I see that some reincarnations have already successfully approached our target?"
The captain was stunned for a moment, then suddenly turned around and looked behind him. What came into his sight was a woman in a tea-green robe, who was talking cordially with a 1.2-meter-tall little boy in an unimaginably gentle tone.
He knew this 5'2" boy well. Wasn't he the five elementary school teammates the Lord God had forced onto his team to lower his chances of winning?! Why was he here? And he seemed to be close friends with Tsunade Senju, the Hokage of Konoha Village and one of the legendary Three Ninjas?
"Sorry to bother you."
The captain used immense energy to suppress the turbulent waves in his chest, grabbed a passing ninja and quickly asked, "Who is this kid following the Hokage? I haven't seen him before."
"Because they just arrived today, and don't read it like a child."
The ninja corrected him seriously: "If you meet him in the future, you must remember to call him Tsunade-sama's disciple, understand?"
Elementary School Students and Business Empires: Chapter 204: Elementary School Students' Cultivation
If you want to become stronger, you have to practice!
As for what is cultivation?
Wang Quan had actually seen this before. He had seen a little Taoist boy push open the gate of the Taoist temple, breathing in and out in the breeze, concentrating his mind on his five senses. He had also seen a magical girl sit in place, practicing and deepening her control over her magic power. So he thought that so-called practice was to find a place to meditate, and then become stronger through abstract concepts such as observing the nose with the eyes, the heart with the heart, and the world with the heart, etc., but...
Tsunade came to a hidden playground and looked at the five children who were eager to try. While recalling the knowledge she learned in the ninja school, she said to the five children: "First, let's do 100 squats."
Wang Quan looked at Tsunade awkwardly: "Big sister, this is a little different from the training I imagined? One hundred squats? I'm only in my early teens, how do you expect me to do that?"
"Uh, but this is the most basic homework."
Tsunade looked at Wang Quan in astonishment: "You can't even do a hundred squats? Almost every kid in the ninja school can do it."
"..."
After a moment of silence, Wang Quan turned to look at his friend beside him and asked in confusion, "Illya, why don't you criticize the other person harshly? This is a perfect opportunity to criticize!"
"Eh?"
Illya looked at Wang Quan in confusion: "It's only one hundred squats. Most of the students in Yuanshen Elementary School can do it."
Wang Quan's mouth twitched. "Am I the only one who thinks asking me to do 100 squats is making things difficult for elementary school students?"
"mum!"
Lihua patted Wang Quan's shoulder vigorously and said earnestly, "Student Wang Quan, you are not alone!"
"Can't even do a hundred squats?"
Tsunade frowned deeply and looked at Wang Quan in confusion: "Then how do you refine chakra?"
"Chakra?"
Wang Quan scratched his head: "What is that?"
"You don't even know about chakra?"
Tsunade's eyes were filled with even greater confusion. From the books these children brought with them, it was clear that they came from a very wise holy land, yet they didn't even know such basic common sense?
Although she was puzzled, she patiently explained, "Chakra is the energy extracted from the body's 130 trillion cells and mixed with spiritual energy."
"understood."
Wang Quan nodded and said thoughtfully, "It's similar to Xiaolang's magic power, Xiao Wukong's Qi, Xiaoya and Xiaomei's magic power. It's energy that comes from within, right?"
"Mana? Chi? Magic?"
Tsunade said in a strange tone: "Is that what you call chakra there? Can you show it to me?"
Li Xiaolang nodded happily, then sat cross-legged on the ground, took a deep breath and silently practiced his family's martial arts.
From Wang Quan's perspective, nothing happened, but Tsunade could clearly feel the scene that made her forget to breathe...
The natural energy that is omnipresent in the world is gathering together at this moment, slowly gathering towards the meditating Li Xiaolang. The natural energy flows with the essence of heaven and earth and pours into the boy's body with every breath. Then, lines painted with thick ink and colors like a Peking Opera mask appear on Li Xiaolang's face.
"Hmm, the spiritual energy of this world is really naughty. How could it actually leave such marks on people's faces?"
Li Xiaolang touched the lines on his face and muttered to himself.
"Is this... Sage Mode?!"
Tsunade looked at Li Syaoran with a twitching mouth. How could she not recognize this move? It was the proud skill of her grandfather Hashirama Senju and her best friend Jiraiya, a unique skill that absorbed the natural energy that was everywhere in the world into their own bodies and used it for their own benefit... But how old was this child in front of her?
"Fairy?"
Li Xiaolang waved his hands repeatedly and said, "This is just a basic method of absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. I am still a long way from becoming an immortal."
"The basic entry level over there is Sage Mode?!"
Tsunade held her forehead and asked, "Saru God Elementary School—could it be a hidden place of inheritance like Ryuchi Cave, Myoboku Mountain, and the Wet Bone Forest?"
"Certainly not."
Wang Quan concluded, "You're using your common sense to try to understand Monkey God Elementary School. Although I don't know what Ryuchido and Myobokusan are, they are definitely not the same thing."
Tsunade was silent for a moment, then asked uncertainly, "Is the leader of Sarugami Elementary School a sage like the White Snake Sage of Ryuchi Cave, the Great Toad Sage of Myoboku Mountain, or the Slug Sage of the Wet Bone Forest?"
"Eh?"
