Chapter 343: The Fight Between the Cockroaches

"The war isn't over yet?"

Naruto's expression gradually froze, and his whole body seemed to be frozen in place.

Even Shikamaru's previous praise of his adoptive father did not help him to recover.

The night breeze blew through Naruto's hair.

Sakura and Ino strolled through the grass below.

Rooftop.

Guardrail.

Shikamaru's face was calm, and his smile was still warm. He reached out and patted Naruto's shoulder, comforting him: "Lord Yinyue brought the five major ninja villages together for more than just dealing with White Zetsu."

"So, is that so?"

Naruto widened his blue eyes and stared at the distant starry sky.

Shikamaru nodded and explained:

“Otherwise, Lord Yinyue actually has no need to gather the five major ninja villages together.

With Lord Yinyue's ability and reputation, even if he didn't move the five major countries to the Fire Country.

He can also suppress all the ninja countries and villages in the world, so that he can even have a more vast territory.

But Lord Yinyue did not choose to do so, but chose the most difficult path.

That’s migration.”

Shikamaru finished speaking in one breath, only to feel his throat getting dry. He didn't dislike the drink cup that Naruto had drunk from, but just changed its position and drank the remaining drink in it.

"Ha——" Shikamaru burped.

He continued to lean against the guardrail with a smile on his face, and then said: "Obviously, next, we, the ninja world, will face more severe tests. As for who the enemy is, I don't know."

Naruto suddenly realized and looked away, looking at the backs of Sakura and Ino who were walking on the grass.

He whispered:

"So, from the very beginning, father moved everyone to the Land of Fire in order to deal with more terrifying enemies in the future."

"Yeah." Shikamaru took back his hand from Naruto's shoulder and smiled, "Otherwise, he wouldn't have to go through so much trouble."

"Then let's..."

"We should just practice hard. The training resources we enjoy now are many times better than when we were in the ninja school."

"I see."

"Based on my understanding of Lord Yinyue, since Lord Yinyue accepted you and Sasuke as his sons, it means that you and Sasuke must have something extraordinary."

"Really?" Naruto didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He then raised his hand and scratched his head, saying with emotion: "I have always been the last in the class."

Shikamaru shook his head and smiled: "It's different now. I can clearly sense that you are growing rapidly after the demon fox in your body was taken away."

This is true.

Without the Nine-Tails interfering with the chakra in his body, the Ashura Chakra in Naruto's body is awakening little by little. He has made great progress in practicing ninjutsu and physical skills.

"I will work hard and keep working hard until I catch up with my father!"

Naruto gritted his teeth and clenched his fists.

The thought that my father might still be out there working hard for the safety of the ninja world made me feel really bad.

His expression suddenly became serious. He looked up at the night sky, then looked at the group of cockroaches who were still sitting at the edge of the round table, talking and laughing.

Naruto walked back and wanted to say something, but was blocked by the quick-eyed and quick-handed Shikamaru.

Shikamaru looked at Naruto with a serious face and naturally understood that this guy must want to lead everyone to work hard after hearing what he said.

"Shikamaru..."

Naruto looked at Shikamaru in surprise.

Shikamaru smiled and said:

"Tomorrow morning, we finally have a chance to relax with the adults for a night. Although time may be tight, we still need to take a break once in a while."

“…” Naruto was stunned for a moment, but soon understood Shikamaru’s intention and nodded.

But Naruto still looked a little depressed. After taking two steps, he forced a smile, smiling like Sakura before, and walked towards the round table.

The ninja world is still facing an unknown crisis, so he really can't be happy.

Even though Naruto is the happiest and most optimistic person among the Twelve Ninjas.

Shikamaru looked at Naruto's back.

He shook his head.

Sighing inwardly:

"I'm sorry, Naruto. I won't tell you these things. I'm afraid I can't bear it alone."

Soon, Naruto returned to the round table. Sasuke, who was standing beside him, saw that Naruto looked like he was being dumped. He said coldly, "Why, you're being ignored?"

"Sasuke, I have something to tell you." Naruto said very seriously.

"..." Sasuke looked at Naruto seriously, who seemed to be more serious than him, and then said, "Speak."

Then, Naruto moved his chair closer to Sasuke and carefully told Sasuke what Shikamaru had said to him.

Shikamaru:"……"

Sasuke: "..."

They both fell silent at the same time.

"Good fellow!" Shikamaru widened his eyes and looked at Shikamaru who was communicating with Sasuke.

He really didn't expect it.

Naruto has learned how to transfer pressure so quickly. Since he can't bear the pressure alone, he might as well transfer it to another person. Okay, that's how we play it, right?

"Shikamaru said these words to you, right?" Sasuke glanced sharply at Shikamaru who was standing on the edge of the guardrail.

Shikamaru immediately withdrew his gaze, raised the empty drink cup to his mouth, looked at the night sky, and pretended that he was admiring the moon.

"You...you..." Naruto froze.

He wanted to say, how did you know, you Sasuke with thick eyebrows and big eyes, have you been secretly spying on me?

Abnormal!

But he didn't say these words.

Sasuke said calmly:

"Yeah, I've actually thought about these things a long time ago. Father moved the five major ninja villages together and abandoned the barriers with the original Konoha. Naturally, there is a deeper purpose behind this."

Naruto had a look of shock on his face, staring at Sasuke who remained calm and collected.

He really doesn't believe it.

These were things Sasuke had thought of before. He must have applied them and quietly adapted them after listening to what he had just said.

What a shameless Sasuke!

"Why are you looking at me like that?" Sasuke picked up the drink cup and took a sip, then said in a deep voice: "We can't let father down!"

After saying that, he put down his drink and his eyes fell on Gaara who was across the round table.

"Hey, Sand Village boy, are you interested in a fight?" Sasuke said, standing up and proudly standing on the edge of the round table. He looked at Gaara and said in a deep voice: "One on one!"

Being named for no reason.

Gaara looked up in surprise, looked at Sasuke who stood up, but did not say anything.

"Yeah?" Naruto widened his eyes and looked at Sasuke's back.

After this period of getting along.

They all knew the strength of this group of peers. Among them, Gaara, Deidara and other genius peers from other villages had basically a gap in strength.

Even some jonin who are not good at fighting are probably no match for these guys.

Among Xiaoqiang and his peers, Sasuke's strength is naturally acceptable.

But now facing Gaara...

Naruto thought, this is quite tough!

After hearing Sasuke's words, all the little warriors turned their eyes to Sasuke and then to Gaara.

These gazes were like spotlights, covering Sasuke and Gaara who were seeking a fight.

This actually aroused Gaara's desire to win.

After all, we are all young people with hot tempers. Besides, we all come from different ninja villages.

Although now among the five major ninja villages, only Konoha Village is left.

But their different backgrounds also mean that they don’t want to appear weaker than others after integration.

Obviously, Sasuke's proactive challenge this time seemed a little unthoughtful, but that was the fact.

If he had considered it so comprehensively, he would naturally not have stood up at this time and challenged Gaara directly. Sasuke just didn't want to waste time and wanted to have actual combat with others to improve his own strength.

"Hehe." Gaara just smiled, then his eyes fell on the drink cup on Sasuke's table, and he said calmly: "You haven't drunk alcohol either."

Maybe it was because he felt unhappy that Sasuke usually had a stern face and now he had offended him.

When Gaara spoke at this moment, he seemed much colder than usual.

In private, Gaara actually treats children of the same age from Konoha Village or other villages who want to seek advice from him with gentleness.

Because, since coming to Konoha, he has seen his father. Even though he is from the Impure World Reincarnation Realm, it can be considered a reunion between father and son.

In addition, the Sand Village migrated here, and Gaara reunited with Temari and Kankuro.

When Edo Tensei Rasa is not busy helping the ninja village, he will also return to his current home in Konoha to visit his three children.

Since attacking Konoha and being killed by Yin Yue, Luo Sha also realized it.

All the fighting for power and dominance in the ninja world are fake. The real thing is your family. When Luo Sha looked back at what he had done to Gaara's three sisters, he felt that he was a beast.

Therefore, during this period of time, he has been making up for the mistakes he had made as a father.

Gaara also felt what true family love is. Growing up in such a loving family environment, Gaara is no longer like Shura who only loves himself in the original story line.

He is now cheerful, optimistic, and positive, and his personality has been cultivated to be extremely sunny.

But even so, after being offended so bluntly by Sasuke, Gaara still couldn't control himself because of his age.

"What? You don't dare to accept my challenge?" Sasuke said arrogantly.

He knows it very well too.

If I hadn't used this simple method of provoking him, Gaara might not have fought with him.

After listening to Naruto's words, Sasuke was deeply touched. Since there was a huge threat ahead, how could he have the nerve to stop at this time.

"Okay, let me make it clear first. I will go easy on you and won't scratch your fair face with my sand."

As Gaara spoke, sand and gravel began to float around him, like a halo surrounding him.

"Hey, you guys!"

Tenten stood up and wanted to say something, but was pulled back by Ningji.

"Ningji, do you want to stop it?" Xiao Li said with some concern.

But his eyes revealed excitement.

Right now, Xiao Li really wants to fight with this guy from the Sand Village on behalf of Sasuke.

He slapped his head and sighed, "Why didn't I think of this?"

During this period, the Twelve Young Warriors made significant progress in strength under the training of Kakashi and others.

In fact, with Yinyue's matchmaking, the current Twelve Young Warriors are very close to their growth stage when they graduated from the Ninja School in the original work.

Just like their mentor, there was one less Asma.

Shikamaru, Tenten, and Choji, who were taught by Asuma, were all handed over to Kurenai for instruction.

That is to say, Hong is teaching two classes.

Of course, Hong herself also enjoys it. She has plenty of time and is willing to do it.

I saw that the situation at the children's table started to become tense.

Over here at the women's table.

Nono was the first to stand up, his eyes fell on the children's table, and he said worriedly: "It seems like something is going on over there."

Hearing this, the other women also looked over.

There is quite a distance between the two tables.

If it weren't for Nono's white eyes.

Of course, it was impossible for her to notice the movement at the child's table so quickly.

"It seems like Sasuke started the trouble first."

Mikoto slowly stood up.

When she saw her son's expression and actions, she quickly guessed what had happened.

She was also a little worried, fearing that Sasuke might do something bad at this point in time.

"This is in line with the nature of young people."

Hong covered her mouth and laughed.

She was a little drunk, and after the fight with the girls, she felt a little tired and just wanted to take a nap.

But the trouble caused by the children also cheered her up a little.

"I'll go take a look!" Mikoto left the round table and walked towards the children's table.

The other women followed suit and stood up.

Xiaonan and Guang, who were originally sitting at the children's table, just watched the children playing by themselves quietly and did not choose to intervene.

"In my time, teenagers their age...didn't have such a good life."

Guang sighed.

Naturally, she said this to Xiaonan who was beside her.

Konan's eyes revealed nostalgia and sadness, and he shook his head and said, "Even in our time, if you were born in a bad place, you wouldn't have such a good life. In fact, even now, there are many children and teenagers suffering in the ninja world."

“Isn’t He changing all that?”

Guang rarely smiled.

Mikoto had already arrived with a group of women. She first nodded and smiled at Guang, then looked at Sasuke.

Without waiting for Mikoto to speak.

Guang smiled and said:

"They wanted to cut and poke, and I agreed. Just stop at a certain point. After all, they have been practicing hard during this period, and they all want to see how much their strength has improved."

Hearing this, everyone's eyes turned to Guang. You know, Guang's status in the main castle is not low, although she has always been sitting at the child's table.

But everyone present was considered to be very close to Yinyue, and everyone knew what kind of legendary identity this seemingly very young Uchiha ancestor had.

What she said was naturally extremely effective, and even Mikoto didn't want to refute or express her own opinions.

Furthermore, Guang has already made it very clear, it is just a matter of cutting and poking, and it will stop at the right time, not some unreasonable grudge and death fight.

"Okay...okay..."

Mikoto bit her lip.

Since Guang said so, she naturally would not spoil his interest.

After hearing Guang's words, the other Xiaoqiangs looked at this old senior with eyes of great gratitude!

Naruto then glanced at the other little cockroaches and said excitedly: "Who wants to fight me!!!"
