Chapter 51: The Way of Forbearance is the Way of Survival

The next day, Naruto came to the hospital early to visit Sasuke.

Sasuke saw Naruto coming and couldn't wait to say: "Naruto, let's start training today."

Naruto was stunned for a moment, then said: "Sasuke, you are not well yet, don't be so anxious."

Sasuke replied stubbornly: "I can't wait any longer, I want to become stronger!"

Naruto looked at Sasuke's determined eyes and thought to himself: This guy is still so stubborn, but his determination to become stronger is admirable. Knowing that he couldn't persuade him, he nodded and agreed: "Okay, don't push yourself too hard. But let's get discharged first. Now your house has been burned down. Why don't you live with me in the future? I have a room there, and I'm alone too."

Sasuke hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded: "Okay, I'll trouble you first."

The two quickly completed the discharge procedures and returned to Naruto's residence.

As soon as he entered the room, Sasuke looked around. At this time, a white thing flew over.

Sasuke was startled and subconsciously made a defensive move. But Naruto smiled and said, "Don't be nervous, this is my white ape Kongo, a very strong ape."

Kong rubbed against Naruto's arms, then looked at Sasuke curiously. Sasuke's tense body relaxed and he said, "You actually have a gorilla."

Naruto glanced at Sasuke and said, "This is my summoned beast. He is still a child now, but he will be my partner in the future. Maybe you won't be his opponent."

Sasuke snorted coldly: "Humph, I don't believe it. When it grows up, I will try it."

Naruto smiled and said, "Okay, we'll just have to wait and see."

At this time, King Kong seemed to understand their conversation and waved his arms at Sasuke as if in protest.

Sasuke and Naruto smiled at each other.

Then Naruto asked again, "Sasuke, are you going to school today?"

Sasuke frowned and replied, "What kind of school? I don't have the heart to go to school right now. I need to seize the time to practice."

Naruto scratched his head helplessly and said, "But it's not good to practice all the time. You can learn a lot of knowledge in school."

Sasuke rolled his eyes at Naruto and said, "How can that knowledge help me become stronger?"

Naruto looked at Sasuke seriously and said, "Maybe some of this knowledge can help us better understand ninjutsu and training methods."

Sasuke was silent for a moment, seemingly thinking about what Naruto had said.

At this time, King Kong shouted a few times, as if he was also expressing his own opinions.

Sasuke looked at Kongou, then at Naruto, and sighed, "Okay, let's go to the school first."

Naruto laughed happily, "That's right!"

The three of them walked towards the school. When they arrived at the school, the classmates were surprised to see Sasuke and a white ape.

When they walked into the classroom, all the students looked at Sasuke.

Sakura looked concerned and said softly, "Sasuke, are you okay?" Ino also quickly echoed, in an urgent tone, "Yes, Sasuke, if you feel bad, just tell us." Kiba looked at Sasuke intently and seriously, and said sincerely, "Sasuke, don't hold the pain in your heart, we are all here." Hinata's voice was as soft as the breeze, and she said slowly, "Sasuke, we are all companions, and we can face things together."

Sasuke was slightly moved, and said softly: "Thank you everyone, I will adjust myself."

Then, everyone's attention shifted to the White Ape King Kong.

Shikamaru looked puzzled and asked, "Naruto, what's going on with this white ape?" Choji widened his eyes and said in surprise, "It looks very strong." Shino pushed his glasses and said calmly, "Naruto, is this your new partner?" Kiba came over and asked curiously, "Does this white ape have any special abilities?"

Naruto smiled and explained to everyone: "This is my pet, and from today on, he will be our partner."

Everyone gathered around, wanting to take a closer look at King Kong.

At this time, Teacher Iruka also walked into the classroom. Seeing the messy scene, he shouted, "Everyone go back to your seats and get ready for class! Naruto, why did you bring your pet to school?"

"But Kiba can bring Akamaru to school."

Teacher Iruka frowned and said seriously, "That's different. Akamaru is smaller and quieter, but your white ape is so big that it will affect the class."

Naruto hurriedly said, "Teacher Iruka, Kongo is really obedient and won't make trouble. You see, before, when I was studying at my house, he always stayed by my side without making a sound. He could also help me get things, and he was very well behaved. Teacher, please be flexible."

Teacher Iruka hesitated, his eyes showing hesitation: "This..."

Naruto continued to assure: "Teacher, I promise you that if King Kong affects the class, I will send it back immediately and never bring it to school again."

Teacher Iruka thought for a moment, and finally said, "Okay, let it stay this time, but you must keep an eye on it."

Naruto said excitedly, "Thank you, Sensei!"

During class, King Kong stayed in the corner obediently, as quiet as if he didn't exist.

After school, the group of friends continued to train in the forest. Just when everyone was training enthusiastically, Naruto clapped his hands and motioned everyone to come and sit in a circle. Seeing Naruto showing a rare serious expression, everyone couldn't help but feel nervous, and they all stopped what they were doing and quickly gathered around.

Everyone asked in confusion: "Naruto, what's wrong?"

Naruto took a deep breath and said slowly: "I think everyone knows what happened to Sasuke's clan." Naruto looked around at everyone, then stopped his gaze on Sasuke. Seeing that he didn't react, he continued: "There will be many unknown things in the future. No one can predict when accidents and death will come. What we have to do now is to do our best to enhance our own strength. There is another point I want to emphasize, which is the content of our current training. I hope that everyone will try not to exert their full strength unless their lives are in danger, especially those that I have taught you."

Ino frowned and asked in confusion: "Naruto, why?"

Naruto looked serious and answered solemnly, "Because we have no idea how many pairs of eyes are staring at us in the dark. Once we expose all our cards, the enemy will come up with targeted strategies, and we will be in a very passive situation. What is the way of ninja? Everyone has his own way of ninja in his heart. For me, the way of ninja is to hide, and hide is the main thing. I believe everyone knows about my style of doing things in school. Why do I do this? It is because I have many potential enemies. I think everyone still remembers the rumors spread in the village last time. So I have to try my best to hide my strength before the real enemy shows up, so that he will despise me and look down on me. When he stands in front of me, I can show my fangs and give him a fatal blow."

Shikamaru sighed and said with emotion: "Naruto, you are very thoughtful, but it does make sense."

Dingci touched his round belly and said in a silly voice: "So we have to be cautious in the future?"

Naruto shook his head and explained: "It doesn't mean that we have to be cautious all the time. We still have to act decisively when we need to, but we have to know when to stop."

Ino crossed her arms over her chest and asked, "Naruto, what exactly should we do next?"

Naruto thought for a moment and said, "We must continue to strengthen our training, and learn to control our strength in actual combat. We must not use all our special moves at once. Especially the things I taught you, these are the key to winning in a surprise attack. In addition, in the coming days, I will increase the intensity of your training. You are currently unable to make a breakthrough in the "Phantom Spirit Technique", and I have not found a solution for the time being, so I will find another way to improve your strength to a higher level."

Everyone nodded to show their understanding.
