Chapter 323 Are you interested in a fight with Naruto?

Sora and Kimimaro looked at Tsunade a little stiffly. Tsunade noticed their gazes and asked with a smile:

"You two little ones are new here, right? Don't be so restrained, enjoy the party together." Sora and Kimimaro nodded quickly.

As the barbecue was cooked, everyone started to enjoy it.

With his mouth full of oil, Choji said incoherently:

"Hokage-sama, you should also eat more of the barbecue. This is specially made by Naruto."

Tsunade smiled and picked up a piece of barbecue and took a bite:

"Hmm, it tastes really good. It seems that this little brat Naruto has this skill."

After three rounds of wine and five dishes, everyone's laughter and joy continued to echo in the yard.

Tsunade looked at these energetic young ninjas, feeling very pleased. She stood up and raised her glass high:

"I'm so happy today, seeing you little ones so energetic. The future of Konoha is in your hands."

Seeing this, everyone raised their glasses and shouted in unison: "For Konoha!" The sound was like thunder, shaking the sky.

Kai, who was drunk, was like a flame that was ignited, extremely excited. His face was flushed and his eyes were flashing with a fiery light, which was like a burning torch.

He strode up to Naruto, patted Naruto's shoulder vigorously, and asked loudly:

"Hey, Naruto! You are really amazing now. After so many battles, how strong are you now? Tell us now, don't hide it!"

His voice was like a loud bell, especially resounding in the lively banquet. When the people around heard this question, they all fell silent and all looked at Naruto, their eyes full of curiosity and expectation.

Naruto slowly closed his eyes, and his mental strength spread out like a thread, quietly feeling the cultivation of everyone.

He discovered that most of his friends had already reached the peak of Qi training, including Kiba, Choji, Shikamaru and others. Their aura was calm and restrained, but in Naruto's opinion, this was far from enough.

Looking at Neji again, his talent and hard work have allowed him to break through to the initial stage of Qi Condensation.

As the group of jonin have to deal with many complicated affairs of Konoha Village on weekdays, they have less time for training and are basically still in the initial stage of Qi training.

Although their strength should not be underestimated, there is still a gap between what Naruto expected.

Naruto couldn't help but sigh softly, his brows slightly frowned, and his heart was full of helplessness.

Naruto was really not satisfied with their training progress.

According to his expectation, the cultivation level of all the Konoha warriors should at least reach the Qi Condensation Stage.

They already possessed extraordinary potential and had been taught by him since childhood, but now only Neji had entered the Qi Condensation Realm.

For Konoha to develop, they need to perform various tasks, which is certainly important, but in this way, the time for training will be greatly compressed, resulting in slow improvement in their cultivation.

Naruto felt helpless about this. He knew very well that everyone was working hard for Konoha, and he couldn't blame them entirely for the slow progress in training.

However, judging from their current strength, they are already considered very powerful in the entire ninja world.

You know, in this world, once you enter the Qi training stage, it means that you have reached the strength of a Kage, which is a powerful force that can protect an area and shock the ninja world.

As for Neji, he has already broken through to the early stage of the Qi Condensation Realm, which is even more amazing. He has already entered the quasi-Six Paths level of strength. His potential is gradually being realized and his future is limitless.

Naruto secretly thought that now that he was back, he should help his friends grow.

You have to choose a suitable time to give your friends more advanced cultivation techniques, so that they can break through the existing shackles and make further progress on the road of cultivation.

In this way, whether facing unknown challenges in the future or for the prosperity of Konoha, everyone will have stronger power to deal with it, so as not to be overwhelmed when danger comes.

This is his responsibility as a partner and an important part of protecting Konoha.

Hearing what Kai said, Naruto raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a confident smile.

In an instant, a powerful pressure as if it were real suddenly burst out from his body, and this force swept around like a surging wave.

For a moment, everyone felt as if they were grabbed by an invisible giant hand, and then they felt as if they had fallen into an ice cellar that had existed for thousands of years. The bone-chilling coldness rushed from the soles of their feet up to their hearts, and their bodies couldn't help but tremble slightly. The originally lively and noisy atmosphere of the banquet instantly froze under this pressure.

Just when everyone was overwhelmed by the powerful pressure, Naruto waved his hand lightly, and the pressure receded like the tide.

He looked at everyone's surprised expressions and said with a smile: "My strength is probably like this."

Kai laughed excitedly: "Naruto, you really didn't disappoint me, this power is really amazing!"

Kakashi's eyes flashed with relief: "It seems that you have experienced a lot of growth, Naruto."

At this moment, Tsunade's mouth corners slightly raised, revealing a meaningful arc, her eyes slowly swept across the young ninjas present, and said loudly:

"Hey, little guys. Don't you always say you want to surpass Naruto? Now he's back, right in front of you. Do you have the courage to stand up and compete with him?"

As soon as she finished speaking, the scene suddenly became quiet and the air seemed to freeze.

The young people looked at each other, you looked at me, I looked at you, with hesitation flashing in their eyes.

That was a deep fear of Naruto's strength. After all, the powerful aura he just displayed still left them with lingering fears.

But in this hesitation, there is more of a light of eagerness to try, which is the burning spirit of the ninja's unyielding spirit.

At this moment, while stuffing barbecue into his mouth, his cheeks puffed up, he said depressedly:

"What's there to compare? Naruto's aura alone is enough to overwhelm us. You all felt it, right? It's like a mountain, pressing us down so hard that we can't breathe. I feel like a little kid in front of him, with no power to fight back at all."

When the people around heard what Choji said, a few of them nodded unconsciously, but their eyes were still fixed on Naruto, and their desire to fight was not extinguished.

At this moment, Naruto's eyes were shining with excitement and he was in the mood.

After several years of separation, he has always been curious about the current level of actual combat capabilities of his companions.

Then he said loudly: "How about this, I will give Sasuke and Kimimaro to you. You can use your full strength without reservation. And I will not use the power of realm, but only rely on ninjutsu and taijutsu to deal with it, how about it?"
