Chapter 28 Star Making Plan

After school, in the forest training ground, a group of friends gathered around the fire to eat barbecue, and from time to time, they exclaimed: "Naruto's barbecue tastes so good, I never get tired of eating it every day!" Choji stuffed his mouth with barbecue and praised vaguely.

At this time, Shikamaru, who was a wise man, said: "Naruto, maybe I shouldn't say too much about what happened today. But this is indeed a trouble. Do you have any opinion?" For a moment, all the friends put down the barbecue in their hands and looked at Naruto with concern.

Naruto looked around and sighed deeply. In fact, he had been prepared for what happened today when he first stepped into Konoha, but after three years of comfortable life, he had indeed forgotten about it. The murderous intention when he entered school was just too sudden.

"Actually, I need to explain this matter to everyone. The story begins from the invasion of the Nine-Tails by the Nine-Tails six years ago." Then, Naruto told everyone about the invasion of the Nine-Tails and how the Fourth Hokage sealed the Nine-Tails. Of course, he deliberately concealed the fact that he was the Fourth Hokage's son.

After hearing this, the companions' faces were full of shock and disbelief. Sasuke clenched his fists and gritted his teeth and said, "Damn Nine-Tails, it actually brought such a disaster to the village!" Ino gently patted Naruto's shoulder and comforted him, "Naruto, this is not your fault." Hinata whispered, "Naruto-kun, come on, we will always support you." Choji was still chewing barbecue in his mouth, muttering, "No matter what, Naruto is still our good partner." Kiba said firmly, "Naruto, let's face it together in the future!" Shino nodded silently.

Logically speaking, Naruto, you are actually Konoha's hero." Shikamaru's deep voice followed.

Everyone nodded in agreement, their eyes filled with admiration for Naruto.

Sasuke frowned and said, "But it's really infuriating that those villagers treated heroes like this."

Ino said angrily: "That's right, they are going too far!"

Naruto smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Maybe they don't think so."

Shikamaru continued, "But we know the truth, Naruto, and we will always stand by you from now on."

Dingci patted his chest vigorously and said, "That's right, if anyone dares to say that again, I, Dingci, will be the first to disagree!"

Kiba waved his fist: "Let's protect Naruto together!"

Hinata blushed and said quietly but firmly: "Naruto-kun, I can do the same..."

Shino still didn't say much, but the firmness in his eyes showed his position.

The bonfire swayed in the night breeze, reflecting the sincere faces of his friends and warming Naruto's heart.

"So Naruto, what are your plans next? We shouldn't let this rumor continue to spread. Besides, don't you find it strange? Why didn't this happen when Naruto returned to the village three years ago, but only happened today. I always feel that someone is planning something." Shikamaru analyzed, touching his chin with his hand.

After hearing what Shikamaru said, everyone fell into deep thought.

Sasuke's eyes narrowed and he said, "It is indeed suspicious. Maybe someone is deliberately trying to stir up trouble."

Ino frowned and said, "Who could be so abominable?"

Dingci muttered, "I really want to find this guy and beat him up."

Ya pondered and said, "Could it be a spy from another village?"

Hinata looked at Naruto worriedly and said softly, "Naruto-kun..."

Shino said calmly, "We can't be sure yet, but we need to investigate carefully."

Naruto was silent for a while, lowering his head, his eyes flashing with terrifying murderous intent. Then he raised his head and said, "No matter who they are, I will not let them succeed. Since everyone believes in me, then I have a plan that requires your help."

Shikamaru sat up straight and said, "Naruto, just say it. We will listen to you."

The others nodded as well, looking at Naruto with determined eyes.

Naruto waved his hand, signaling everyone to gather around. Everyone immediately came closer, their expressions focused.

Soon, Shikamaru exclaimed, "Naruto, is this really okay?" A group of friends looked at Naruto with strange faces. Everyone looked weird about Naruto's plan, and their eyes revealed doubts. Only Sasuke and Hinata were curious. They knew Naruto's strength very well. Although the current plan was confusing, they trusted Naruto. The two of them didn't say anything.

Naruto said confidently: "Don't worry, I am sure. I will give our plan a name now, it is called the Star-making Project."

Shikamaru scratched his head and said, "Well, since you are so confident, let's give it a try."

Choji muttered, "I hope Naruto doesn't mess this up."

Ya said: "Since we have already made the decision, let's just give it a try!"

Ino rolled her eyes at Choji and Kiba and said, "We have to believe in Naruto!"

Shino remained silent, but there was a hint of determination in his eyes.

Sasuke crossed his arms over his chest and said, "Naruto, don't let me down."

Hinata blushed and said softly, "Naruto-kun, I believe you."

Naruto looked at his friends and shouted, "Then let's do it!"

Then everyone dispersed and went to do their own tasks.

After everyone left, Naruto sat there blankly for a long time. Until an old figure appeared beside him. Naruto raised his head and smiled: "Grandpa Hokage, you are here. I have some freshly grilled meat here. Please try it." The third generation laughed and took the grilled meat handed over by Naruto, took a bite, and then an intoxicated expression appeared on his face: "Little Naruto's grilled meat is still as delicious as always. How do you feel about the first day of school today?" The third generation asked with concern.

Naruto chuckled and then said: "Thank you for your concern, Grandpa. I am very happy to go to school today, especially Mr. Iruka who took good care of me."

After hearing what Naruto said, the Sandaime laughed: "That's good, that's good. If you have any problems, just come to me and I will help you."

Naruto didn't say anything, he just stood up and walked to the middle of the shooting range to start training his kunai. Seeing Naruto's hard work, the Third Hokage was helpless. This kid was good in every way. He was polite, modest, and especially his cooking skills were amazing. It was just that his talent was hard to describe. Ever since he started teaching Naruto to practice, Naruto's training results drove him crazy. But seeing how hard Naruto worked, he couldn't bear to attack him directly. Then he sighed deeply in his heart. But how could he know what level of strength Naruto had reached. Everything he saw in front of him was just Naruto pretending.

Before leaving, Sandai handed Naruto this month's living expenses. Then he looked at Naruto with hesitation. Naruto also saw what Sandai wanted to say and asked: "Grandpa, do you have anything else to say?"

The third generation looked at Naruto apologetically: "Little Naruto, you actually felt it today, right?" Naruto laughed and said: "Grandpa, I don't think it's a big deal. It's okay. I'll go my own way and let them talk." After hearing what Naruto said, the third generation nodded heavily, and then patted his shoulder. Then he turned around and left. However, Naruto didn't notice the stern look after he turned around.
