gold and silver rule

So, do you want to go again at the expense of your rest time? "

"..."

Looking at the boy who fell silent, Third Generation frowned.

Ever since Naruto joined Anbu, he told Kakashi to protect the child.Facts have proved that his actions are completely unnecessary. Over the past year, Naruto's strength has almost made a qualitative leap. His calm mind and steady state of mind during missions are also quite reassuring. The only shortcoming is how he treats his teammates It's still too indifferent, but since his teamwork ability is still very strong, the third generation also believes that the child's nature is gentle, and it is only a matter of time before he trusts others.

However, the child who has always had no desires and desires suddenly made such a request. Although he is unwilling to say the reason, the third generation is willing to believe that the child's starting point is good.Besides, it's better to figure out what can make the indifferent Naruto care so much, maybe this is also an opportunity for him to become a partner.

But since he asked to go alone... well, that's all.

"...I see. It just so happened that the intelligence department reported that ninjas seem to be haunting the border of the country near the sea these days. Their whereabouts are strange. I don't know what they are planning. Find out their purpose and don't expose it until necessary. If the nature is bad, try not to take action as much as possible, go back to the village to report, this is the task content. Although it is not within the territory of the water country, this is also the closest task to the water country. You can accept this task."

"Yes! Thank you Hokage-sama!"

"Well... Since you are alone, the level of this task is designated as A. Be careful!"

"Yes!"

"Please wait, Hokage-sama!" Just as the third generation was about to let Naruto leave, Kakashi, who had been standing on the side and silently listening to the conversation between the two, said.

"Master Hokage, Kawata has only been in Anbu for a year after all. Although his strength has grown very rapidly, it is still too much for him to take on A-level missions by himself."

"Then you mean..."

"Please allow me to go with you, Hokage-sama!" the silver-haired Anbu earnestly asked.

"I object! The captain injured his arm during the mission, and he hasn't fully recovered yet!" The blond boy was obviously stunned by Kakashi's request, and immediately objected after realizing it.

"This injury is not a problem, someone must go with you!"

"That too..."

"Okay, both of you don't talk anymore! Anbu is short of manpower recently, and I didn't think carefully before. Since Kakashi and your wound are not serious, then this mission will be completed by the two of you together!"

Hearing what Hokage said, Naruto could only frown under the mask, and echoed with Kakashi:

"Yes, Hokage-sama!"

"Well, let's go down."

Seeing the figures of the two people disappear in front of him, Sandaime sighed wearily. Suddenly, he frowned again and said to the empty office, "Is there anything else you can do, Chuan?"

The blond boy who appeared in front of the old man again whispered something, and then the old man smiled and threw him a small scroll.

================================================== =============================

After half an hour.

Night has fallen.In front of the Konoha gate, Kakashi, who was hiding in the shadows, gestured to Naruto who had stepped on the spot, and the two ran out of the village together, disappearing into the vast night.

At this moment, Naruto looked at the back of the silver-haired youth running in front of him, and thought to himself:

【Hatake Kakashi is the fourth Hokage of Konoha, the disciple of "Golden Flash" Namikaze Minato... No wonder, in this way, his care for me makes sense. 】

Naruto Uzumaki, who has always grown up in a lonely and difficult environment, never thinks that the kindness shown by others is unreasonable.And Hatake Kakashi's kindness to him, after Naruto checked Kakashi's personal information, was attributed to "the care of his father's disciples for him".Even so, he had a little more affection for Kakashi, and of course, a little kindness.

After all, he is my father's disciple... and he is considered a person who has a relatively close relationship with him.

As everyone knows, Kakashi treated Naruto, although at first he really cared about it because of the teacher, but after that he completely regarded Naruto as a partner.Of course, this mission is only out of concern for Naruto himself, and has nothing to do with Minato Namikaze.

The two, with their own thoughts, headed towards the mission location.

What kind of danger awaits them on the road ahead?

☆, task

Among the dense woods, two agile figures jumped and ran between the branches.The two men in Anbu costumes and masks each have lush silver and blond hair.

This is Kakashi and Naruto on their way back after completing the mission.

Half a month ago, Konoha Village received a report that some ninjas on the border of the Land of Tang had been active recently, and it was suspected that they were conducting a secret conspiracy that might threaten the Land of Fire.The fire country daimyo personally commissioned Konoha Ninja to investigate and smash the conspiracy if necessary.

For some reason, Hatake Kakashi and Uzumaki Naruto were ordered to perform this task.Arriving at the border town of Tango Country, they unexpectedly found that it was heavily guarded. After spending some time investigating, they learned that this was a deadly poison that was being developed by an unknown high-level villager in Tango Country. , vainly trying to use it to enhance the strength of the country, and fight for the same status as the five major powers through war.

After spending a lot of time, they finally figured out everything and sneaked in, stole the secret recipe of the poison, and killed the main researcher.

But... Naruto who was walking frowned, always felt that this matter was a little too smooth.Looking at Kakashi in front of him, Naruto guessed that he also had the same doubts as himself.

Now that he is about to leave the territory of the Land of Tang and enter the Land of Fire, Naruto carefully recalled the mission process again. Suddenly, an important message skipped his mind, and Naruto shouted in shock: "Captain..."

Before the words fell, Naruto suddenly felt a strange chakra fluctuation in the air. Associating what he thought just now, Naruto quickly covered his mouth and nose, and at the same time shouted: "Don't breathe this gas!" Kakashi in front Responding quickly, he also covered his nose, but his keen sense of smell still made him feel that he could smell a scent.

hateful!Feeling dizzy, Kakashi squeezed his eyelids, only to feel that Naruto fed him a pill with a serious face, and seeing him support him, he quickly threw out the spell and cast two dark blue pills on him. And the yellow enchantment fell on Naruto with a black eye.

Before the aroma arrived, Naruto felt the fluctuation of the chakra of the wind attribute with the same attribute as his own, and reacted in time without inhaling the gas, so he is fine now.Glancing at the comatose Kakashi who was protected by the barrier, Naruto, who has a newly developed small movable anti-virus barrier, said to a certain point in the void: "Come out, guy from Tango Country!"

"...Oh? What a clever kid! Have you guessed that my newly developed poison needs two medicines to work at the same time?"

Looking at a crazy ninja who appeared from the hiding place, Naruto raised the corners of his mouth mockingly: "More than that. I also know that you are the leader of those researchers, and the research room is usually full of first-timers. One colorless and odorless poisonous gas, the second one is on your body, and you were not in the research room before we went in..."

"...I also know that your research is not approved by the leader of your small ninja village or even those researchers, so you assassinated the leader, threatened other researchers with poison to work for you, and secretly promoted a Dictatorship……"

"It's so ugly, it's embarrassing to be surreptitious because you're afraid that the daimyo of the Tang Dynasty will find out about your rebellion?"

Looking at the increasingly ugly face of the researcher standing on the tree, Naruto raised the corners of his mouth playfully: "Do you need me to say more, sir?"

"Hmph, where did you know these things, brat?"

"Well, who knows..." Naruto suddenly moved after speaking his usual irresponsible words.

With lightning speed, he flashed in front of the researcher in an instant, and violently kicked at the startled researcher.The latter was half a beat late to react, but before he could make any reaction, he was kicked more than ten meters away and stopped after knocking down several thick branches.

"Cough...vomit!" Spit out a big mouthful of blood, the researcher gasped for breath, stared at Naruto with vicious eyes, suddenly took out a bag of powder from his pocket, and at the same time sealed: "Feng Dun..."

click!

The researcher looked at the blond ninja who suddenly appeared in front of him in disbelief, and found out in horror that his throat seemed to have a big opening, and the world in his vision quickly darkened, and finally fell into darkness completely.

After kicking the man's body, Naruto murmured: "The secret formula says that the antidote has not been researched yet, why are you still jumping around here? Wasting my precious time..."

Blowing away the nearby poison with the wind escape, Naruto jumped back to Kakashi's side, lifted the barrier, and then frowned and began to study the method of detoxification.

You must know that when Naruto was a killer, in order to save his life, he covered all kinds of knowledge, and detoxification was undoubtedly a key research item.After coming to this ninja world, because of becoming Anbu, the research on poison has not stopped.It's just a coincidence that there has never been a chance to show it during the mission.

And the pill that Kakashi swallowed just now is the medicine that Naruto always has around him.

Now in the forest, Naruto believes he can concoct herbs.Moreover, recalling the face of the ninja who was dealt with just now... Naruto curled his lips in disdain, and Naruto didn't believe that a guy with such poor strength could concoct any difficult poison.

Sure enough, after some inspections, Naruto split out several shadows and acted separately, while his main body continued to guard Kakashi.

================================================== =====

In the darkness, Kakashi only felt uncomfortable.

Clearly conscious, but unable to wake up, can only silently feel the pain of his body and the surrounding environment.

He heard the conversation between Naruto and the enemy, secretly astounded by Naruto's care and intelligence, and at the same time felt himself getting colder and colder.

Ah, that's strange, it's summer, how can it be cold?

cold...so cold...

Sensing that Naruto had already dealt with the enemy and was guarding by his side, Kakashi breathed a sigh of relief for some reason, and then reacted and laughed at himself.

Naruto doesn't know medical ninjutsu, why are you so relieved?

But unexpectedly, Naruto seemed to have a solution after checking himself. Kakashi heard that he used the shadow division technique, and then he felt that his consciousness gradually became blurred.

Really cold……

In a daze, he felt a little warmer on his body, like clothes...but it was still so cold...

Later, Kakashi felt that he was surrounded by a piece of warmth, he couldn't help curling up his body, shrinking back towards the source of warmth.

It's getting warmer...

After a while, the warmth disappeared, and Kakashi began to shiver from the cold again, and his teeth began to chatter.He couldn't help but curled up and stretched out his hands to grope around.Fortunately, the warmth came back immediately, Kakashi felt that his hands were also surrounded, he sighed contentedly, and then felt the warmth of the cloth on his face disappeared, and there was a patch of the same temperature behind his head Warm, like a hand...

whose hand?Kakashi felt like he couldn't remember what happened before.

However, it seems that something is not quite right... What is it...

Those hands gently opened his mouth, and then gently held the back of his head with one hand, and poured something into his mouth with the other hand.

Is it medicine?so bitter……

After finishing his drink with a frown, Kakashi felt that he was wearing the cloth thing, and at the same time he was no longer cold and comfortable for a while, but began to feel uncomfortably hot.

Especially on the left arm, there was a burning sensation, and the pain was unceasing.

Kakashi heard someone's troublesome "tsk" in his ear, and felt that several layers of clothes were soaked in sweat.Then the clothes that wrapped him just now were taken off one by one. When he started to take off his own clothes, Kakashi, who was dazed and didn't know anything, felt that the person who took off his clothes seemed to hesitate for a moment.

Hey, what's wrong... What the hell is it?

With his clothes off, Kakashi felt relieved, but he started to feel the stuff on his face getting in the way again.At the same time, he felt as if he was going to be melted, and he couldn't lift his strength.

It's so hot...it's so hot...

Finally, Kakashi felt something being removed from his face.

But shortly after that he felt even hotter.

Every minute and every second is suffering.Kakashi felt that he was picked up and walked around, and the person who was holding him was cool, and Kakashi couldn't help but put his face on that person.After an unknown period of time, Kakashi felt that he was immersed in the water again, and after cooling down for a while, he began to feel hot again.

Finally, Kakashi felt that his mouth was opened by those hands again, but Kakashi didn't even have the strength to swallow now, he knew that the medicine poured into his mouth was spilled out again.

Then, Kakashi felt two pieces of cool feeling on his mouth, which brought a faint fragrance of medicine, and a cool thing pressed his throat, helping him swallow the medicine.

This time, the medicine is not bitter.

Kakashi drank it easily, and then he felt the coolness on his lips wanting to leave, and subconsciously wanted to keep it, but he was completely powerless now.

In the end, the coolness disappeared, and Kakashi felt a little lost.At this time, a feeling of sleepiness came, and his consciousness finally fell into a deep sleep.

Waking up again, Kakashi first saw the sky full of stars.Then, he heard a gentle voice: "Are you awake, Captain?"

Blinking his eyes, Kakashi felt his consciousness gradually returning. He felt that he was weak now, his head was groggy, and he had put on his mask and clothes and was lying in his sleeping bag.

It was too late for him to remember what happened, who was the owner of that voice, Kakashi felt a hand gently placed on his forehead, and at the same time the voice whispered: "It seems that the fever still hasn't gone away..."

These hands, this temperature... are similar to those in the darkness just now...

By the way, I went on a mission, came back to an ambush, and Naruto... Naruto?

Kakashi, who finally came to his senses, suddenly turned his head to look at the people around him, but unexpectedly fell into a blue ocean.There is a touch of concern in that sea, and the tenderness revealed is exactly the same as that of the people around him when he was in a coma.

Let's put it this way... that piece of "warmth", that "shade", and...could it be Naruto's...

Also, could it be the face under my mask! !

It was funny watching Kakashi, who was still dazed before, met his eyes and suddenly remembered something. His embarrassed ears were dyed a light pink, and then his eyes began to wander. Naruto couldn't help touching that Beautiful silver hair, soft to the touch.

And Yoshi's hair color looks like... Naruto who thought so shook his head, withdrew his hand, and then heard Kakashi hesitantly asking:

"Well, Chuan...how did you know how to detoxify? Ah no, I mean how did you detoxify...not right, when you detoxified, did you..." raised his eyebrows and looked at Kakashi who was speaking in a lower voice , Naruto reached out to take off his mask, and then replied with a slightly correct expression: "Captain, do you remember? You were poisoned before, and I was careless. Although you detoxified you, the blind medicine in the antidote and The wound on your arm clashed, causing your wound to become inflamed, and then you developed a high fever. Your forehead is still a little hot now, take the medicine, eat something and sleep for a while."

Looking at Kakashi who hesitated to speak, Naruto then added: "Ah, by the way, because it is a cold poison when detoxifying, I acted as a heater when the captain was the coldest. Because the high fever came so suddenly, I let the captain soak in the water naked for a while in order to cool down the captain. You don't mind, do you?"

"No, I don't mind any of that, you've done a good job; what I do mind a little bit is..."

"What made the captain mind so much, is it because I hurt the captain when feeding the medicine?" Naruto frowned, and said again.

No, the point is completely wrong okay Naruto, don't you think there's something wrong with the way you're feeding your medicine?

No, no, or does this kid have no common sense in this area?

Well, very likely!

Thinking like this, Kakashi immediately felt that he had a sacred mission, that is: as a senior, it is necessary for him to educate Naruto about this!

However, Hatake Kakashi, who is supposed to be experienced in the market with 18N novels all day long, coughed twice to express that he had something to say, and met those blue eyes, suddenly remembered an important thing. The problem.

Lao Tzu's first kiss is gone, and my face is seen, hey! ! ! ! !

Naruto on the other side, looking at Kakashi who was showing some signs of confusion in the wind, sighed slightly in his heart.

In order to save someone, I gave away my first kiss in this life, how can I say it? Hey, it's too bloody!

Forget it, since I'm Dad's disciple, I don't care about it with you.

Kakashi, who was immersed in his own thoughts, suddenly felt that he was being helped to sit up, and a cloak was put on his body. From above, he could smell the smell that lingered around him when he was unconscious. Kakashi was feeling his face. While burning up again, I secretly thanked myself for wearing a mask.

Ah, the mask...

Before thinking about it, Kakashi saw Naruto walking over with a bowl in one hand.He asked suspiciously: "Naruto, where did you get the bowl?" His voice was hoarse.

Hearing Kakashi call his real name, Naruto froze for a moment.Although Naruto is not wearing a mask now, it is the first time Kakashi called his name during the mission.

Smiling mysteriously, Naruto held the bowl and said, "Guess." Then he was about to pull off Kakashi's mask.

Mask, hello!

Kakashi dodged backwards with great effort, and said in a panic, "Ah, I'll just drink it myself, don't bother..."

Raising his eyebrows, Naruto asked, "Are you sure?" After seeing the affirmative nod, he shrugged, handed the water bowl to those trembling hands, and then turned around.

As expected, after a while, Kakashi's slightly embarrassed voice came: "Well, Naruto...the water is going to be spilled..."

Turning around and quickly taking the bowl from those powerless hands, Naruto's helpless voice came: "Let me feed you. Speaking of which, why is the captain...ah no, it's nothing."

Seeing that Naruto suddenly fell silent, and then pulled down his mask, Kakashi tried not to let himself think about what he was going to say, tried not to let himself be seen as uncomfortable by him, Naruto simply didn't say anything, After helping Kakashi drink the water and medicine, he drank another bowl of porridge that Naruto cooked himself. Seeing Kakashi's satisfied eyes, Naruto smiled, helped Kakashi to lie down again, and then said : "You can recover after another sleep, and...with all due respect, captain, you are very beautiful, and it is a wise choice to surround your face." Naruto walked to the side to watch the night after finishing speaking, and Kakashi...

Pretty...is that a word that can be used to describe a man?No one has ever seen my face except my father. Hey, you boy...for the sake of detoxifying me, I won't bother with you!

With complicated thoughts and his blushing face for the nth time today, Kakashi fell into a dream again.

☆, graduation

Naruto, who was sitting on the tree watching the night, looked at Kakashi who fell asleep, and sighed slightly in his heart.

That's why I want to do the mission by myself... Kakashi is kind, but how can I go away and find Yushi in this situation?

In the last mission, I really felt Yoshi's breath in a flash, but why did it disappear in a flash?

Forget it, the days to come are long, and I can't eat hot tofu in a hurry.Hatake Kakashi... I can't think of him as troublesome. As far as the current situation is concerned, he is the person I am closest to in this world, and this guy's concern for me is somewhat genuine...

Naruto, thinking like this, has unintentionally included Kakashi in the scope of "one of his own people". Just like Sasuke once, Naruto also showed a little bit of tenderness to Kakashi that he was not easy to detect.

However, compared to Sasuke, Kakashi's status in Naruto's heart is still relatively low.

====================================================================== =========

A night without dreams.

Kakashi, who woke up refreshed again, was taken aback by these four words.

How long has it been?Obito and Lin didn't appear in my dream?Didn't he wake up because of the scene before Lin's death? ...

His eyes stopped on the boy who was sitting on the branch, surrounded by the sun, he was becoming more and more beautiful, Kakashi secretly sighed: This boy, people can't help but trust him.

Seeing that Kakashi had woken up, Naruto jumped off the branch, came to Kakashi's side, and said with a smile, "Morning, Captain. How do you feel?"

"Well, it's completely fine. It's you, Naruto, who is causing you trouble."

"No, don't say that. The captain came here because he was worried about me, right? I was the one who delayed the captain's rest time and almost killed the captain."

"...Let's not talk about this anymore, Naruto, I have a question I've been wanting to ask you for a long time." The silver-haired young man changed the subject abruptly, and asked unnaturally:

"What do you want to do when you come to the country of water? Or, what are you looking for, Naruto?"

I noticed early that Naruto was absent-minded during the mission.It seemed that he was looking forward to something, looking for something, but Kakashi couldn't hide it from his eyes.

"..." In the same silence as before in front of the third generation, Naruto quietly looked at the black eye that was looking at him inquiringly, his gaze was calm and unwavering.

However, Kakashi seemed to suddenly understand something.What is hidden in the depths of those eyes is clearly solid ice that seems to not melt!

In other words, that is Naruto Uzumaki, for Hatake Kakashi, there is still hesitation and distrust of whether he should tell him the secret!

An unknown fire rose in his heart, and Kakashi suddenly asked in a calm voice: "Naruto, have you not trusted me for such a long time? I didn't say anything when you asked Mr. Hokage for my file, but why did you Don't want to tell me a little motive of yours?"

Looking at the silent boy, Kakashi clenched his hands, and suddenly felt powerless again.

Hatake Kakashi, you are just the child's father's disciple, why must he trust you?In the final analysis, you and him are just colleagues. He investigated you and you didn't say anything, but this cannot be a reason for you to ask him to treat you without reservation.

Such a simple truth, why did you realize it now?

Smiling wryly, Kakashi concealed the disappointment in his heart due to not being trusted, and spoke again: "Well, I went too far, Naruto. It's just that I want to ask you one more question."

This time, the blond boy rolled his eyes back, motioning for Kakashi to continue.

"If one day, you can only choose between continuing to perform the mission and saving your partner, the companion who performs the mission will die, and the mission will fail if you save the companion, and even bring huge losses to the village. Which one do you choose?"

Looking at the inexplicably tense black pupil, Naruto blinked, and replied inexplicably, "Well...in my opinion, it depends on who the partner is."

Swallowing hard, Kakashi asked, "What do you mean?"

"That said, my answer will vary depending on who that person is."

"For now, the only person in the village who can make me give up the mission to save him is Sasuke. After all, that child was trained by me, and he exists like a brother."

The eyes suddenly darkened, and Kakashi opened his eyes wide in disbelief, feeling the stinging pain in his left eye.

How can it be?This is the answer?

"That is to say, in the whole village, the only partner you recognize is Uchiha Sasuke...Compared with the companions who were born and died together, the task is more important, do you mean that?"

At this moment, apart from anger, disappointment, and disbelief, Kakashi's heart also concealed a trace of loss that he didn't even notice.

For you, the only important person is Sasuke Uchiha?

Looking at Kakashi, who was in a strange mood for some unknown reason, Naruto quickly replied: "Yes, that's what I meant."

After a while, Kakashi said in a low voice, "Those who break the rules of the ninja world are called trash. But... people who don't know how to value their companions are even worse than trash!"

Staring at Naruto without letting go of any of his expressions, Kakashi carefully observed the emotional changes hidden in those blue pupils.

However, he failed.There was nothing but peace in those eyes.

After looking at Kakashi for a while, Naruto said again: "Captain, I think you are thinking something wrong?" Looking at Kakashi who was stunned, Naruto said helplessly, "We... are Companion?"

For a moment, Kakashi felt raging anger burning in his chest: "Are you a companion? Naruto, you actually asked that! Since you joined my team at the age of 7, we have been born and died together for nearly two years. I Admitting that you are indeed talented and intelligent, you have improved rapidly, and you have saved the team many times. Everyone is very grateful to you, trusts you, and is willing to entrust your back to you, but you actually ask if we are companions?..."

"That's just what you think." Still interrupting Kakashi's words in the same tone as usual, looking at the widened eyes calmly, Naruto continued: "For more than two years, everyone has been together. After going through many things, I admit that you are good teammates and mission partners. If conditions permit, I will definitely go to you if you are in danger, just like this time. As for your trust... I never said that I Will respond, won't you, Captain."

Looking directly at the black pupil who was thinking about something, Naruto continued to use his delicate face like an angel, and said the cruelest words to the silver-haired youth: "In this world, the only person I trust is myself." After thinking for a while, Naruto added: "Maybe Sasuke can also be counted as one."

Ahh, that's right.This boy, from the beginning, called me "Captain", even if I started to call him by his name, I always use honorific titles when addressing others...

He never let anyone into his heart, never cared about anyone...except Sasuke Ujiha...do you...

Kakashi, who was thinking like this, seemed to have been drained of all his strength, and his heart felt inexplicably throbbing.At this time, I heard Naruto say again: "The concept is different, I don't think we need to talk about it anymore, Captain. I have always survived like this."

Because of this sentence, Kakashi began to feel sorry for the child again.Kakashi looked at those still blue eyes, and said in a low voice: "If you think this way, how can you get everyone's approval and become Hokage? Even if you are strong enough, you will never win the hearts of your subordinates." !"

Raising his eyebrows, Naruto said indifferently, "Really? Then we'll give it a try. Have you rested yet? Let's go back to the village."

Exhausted physically and mentally, Kakashi set off without saying a word, and did not say a word to Naruto behind him on the way.

——————————————————————————————— Soon, Kakashi Hatake quit Anbu and became a Jonin, and then Naruto Uzumaki One person applied for a task by one person, and was unexpectedly allowed by the higher-ups.After that, a new legend of Konoha Anbu was born after "Copy Ninja Kakashi".

It is said that this Anbu is only a child of about 10 years old, but his murder method is extremely sophisticated, without sloppiness, and he has become a frightening killing god.

Since that mission, even though Kakashi quit Anbu, he tried his best to avoid meeting Naruto; Naruto naturally would not take the initiative to find Kakashi when he was idle, so his former teammates suddenly became like strangers.

It's just that Kakashi occasionally walked on the street, and would notice a flash of a golden figure on the roof next to him - that was Naruto passing by after returning from a mission, and then stared at the place where the figure disappeared for a long time, unconsciously When he was alone at home, he would often think of that task, and then start to be in a daze, and then when he came back to his senses, he found that he couldn't help touching his lips, feeling very annoyed.

And Naruto, after hearing that all the students that Kakashi had brought for two years in a row had been sent back to Ninja School for re-study on the grounds that he "didn't value partners and teamwork", raised his eyebrows indifferently, and then continued with his mission.

Of course, most of the missions are near the Kingdom of Water.But since then, Yuxi's aura is like disappearing into the sea, and has never appeared again.

In a blink of an eye, two and a half years have passed.

On this day, Naruto, who once again completed an S-level mission by himself, returned to the village and was told that Master Hokage had summoned him.

He rushed to Hokage Building non-stop, and was dragged by the aging third generation for a long time. Naruto frowned and concluded an important message: Naruto's strength no longer needs to be protected. It just so happens that the ninja school is about to graduate. Go back and get acquainted with the partners of the same period, review to prepare for the graduation exam, and then become a ninja, and relax physically and mentally by the way...

Well, whatever you say, I'll do it.

He rushed to Sasuke's apartment and made a serious meal. As soon as Sasuke came back from school, he sniffed and went straight to the kitchen. He was even more happy when he heard the news. The homework that people left behind... or something.

However, there is also a reason why Naruto agreed to the third generation's request so easily.

His strength has reached the bottleneck.Recently, the practice of body, ninja, phantom, enchantment, and sealing has reached a critical point, and it is impossible to advance half a step.

Naruto knew that he needed an opportunity to break through the bottleneck and enter a higher realm, but... this opportunity seemed not so easy to find.It didn't make much sense to stay in Anbe any longer, so Naruto followed suit, quit Anbe, and became a student calmly.

I forgot to mention that Naruto has become more and more like Hasegawa in his previous life because of the relationship between his soul these years, but his hair and eyes have not changed at all.He has a tall nose, fair skin, a gentle and naughty smile from time to time, and ice-blue pupils that always have a deep feeling that makes people addicted to it at a glance;

Slightly taller than his peers, his thin and tall figure is prominent. Not only does he not feel weak, but he also properly shows the vigor and strength of a young man.The clothes that are always black and white add a simple and elegant, clean and neat temperament.All this made Naruto the two "princes" alongside Sasuke in the school.There are countless girls who come to deliver bento and confession every day.Often after class, their classroom becomes a sea of ​​people.

But... how could this question trouble Naruto?

So Naruto easily got rid of the trouble of being surrounded by a sea of ​​people by saying "I'm sorry, I have someone I like" in N sentences every day. Zai looked at Sasuke's joke.

Well, Sasuke, so you are still too young to handle the pursuit of these girls.

So it's easy every day, half a year
