Chapter 67 Tailed Beast Belt

Naruto smiled and comforted Inari: "Inari, even if we resolve this crisis, your courage and efforts are extremely important."

Inari's eyes lit up when he heard this: "Really? Naruto-nii, can I protect the village like you guys in the future?"

Sakura came over, squatted down, and said gently: "Of course you can, Inari, as long as you have such determination and keep working hard, you will definitely be able to do it."

Inari nodded vigorously: "Yes, I will!"

Sasuke crossed his arms over his chest and said, "Don't just talk but don't act, kid."

Inari clenched his fists: "I definitely won't!"

Kakashi looked at this scene and said with a smile: "Okay, let's go back to the village first. Everyone is tired."

Everyone nodded and headed towards the village, surrounded by Inari and the villagers.

Along the way, everyone laughed and talked, as if they had forgotten the brutal battle they had just experienced.

A few days later, the bridge was finally completed. Naruto and his three companions packed their luggage and prepared to return to Konoha with the farewell of many villagers.

Inari ran to Naruto, his eyes filled with reluctance: "Brother Naruto, you must come back often to visit."

Naruto smiled and gently touched his head: "I will, Inari, you must work hard."

Sakura also waved her hand and said, "Inari, grow up quickly."

Sasuke said sternly: "Don't let me down, kid."

Dazna stepped forward and bowed deeply, "Thank you, ninjas of Konoha."

Kakashi smiled and responded, "This is our job."

As they set off on their journey home, their figures gradually faded away. Inari and the villagers remained standing, waving goodbye.

Dazna suddenly said, "This bridge hasn't been named yet."

Inari heard his grandfather's words and said, "Grandpa, what do you think of calling him Naruto Ohashi?"

When Dazna heard his grandson's words, he burst into laughter, "Hahahaha, Naruto Bridge? It seems pretty good!"

On the way back, Naruto opened the system panel and started to check the tasks that had been completed.

"Ding! The main mission has been successfully completed, and you have been awarded the Tailed Beast Belt."

Tailed Beast Belt: "A special item that can breed and cultivate tailed beast seeds by collecting tailed beast chakra or parts of tailed beast limbs. Once the tailed beast seeds grow successfully, new tailed beasts can be cultivated."

Naruto was overjoyed. It looked like he would have to go collect the tailed beasts, and it was thanks to his foresight that he let Itachi infiltrate the inner circle.

Naruto then confirmed the sign-in mission.

"Ding! The sign-in task has been completed, and the cultivation level has been increased by 1 level."

With a crisp sound of "clang", Naruto instantly felt that his strength had been significantly enhanced. Naruto was immediately ecstatic. Over the past few years, he had cultivated with the Nine-Tails' chakra and continued to fight in the dungeon, and his strength had reached the eighth level of the Qi Condensation Realm. And this reward instantly made him leap to the ninth level of the Qi Condensation Realm.

The aura emitted by the sudden surge in strength almost caused Kakashi and the other two to fall down.

At this moment, seeing the embarrassed looks of the three people, Naruto came back to his senses and scratched his head in embarrassment. In the past, his training was accumulated bit by bit, so it was relatively easy for him to control his strength and breath. This time, his realm suddenly improved, and he was unable to control his breath for a while, so that his breath leaked a little. He never expected that it would have such a huge impact on them.

The three looked at Naruto in fear. The aura that Naruto had just released was like a mountain pressing down on them, making it almost impossible for them to breathe. Fortunately, it only lasted for a very short moment.

At this point, Kakashi could no longer suppress the doubts in his heart and said, "Naruto, Sasuke, you two come with me."

Then, Sasuke and Naruto looked at each other and followed Kakashi to the side.

At this moment, Sakura beside her suddenly felt lonely. In the past, when she was performing simple tasks, she didn't notice it. But this time, from leaving the village, experiencing Zabuza's attack, to destroying Zabuza, she really felt the gap between them. Sasuke was able to defeat Zabuza and Haku, and Naruto easily destroyed hundreds of people.

Sakura bit her lip and made up her mind: "I must work harder to practice and not hold them back anymore!

Kakashi, who was standing aside, stared at Naruto with burning eyes and said, "Naruto, I have actually been confused about this question. As far as I know, you have always been at the bottom of the class in the Ninja School. Even when you first joined Team 7, your performance was mediocre. But why do you have such a powerful force this time? Just based on the momentum you just exuded, it is something I have never seen in my life. If my guess is correct, your strength may have reached the level of Kage, or even surpassed the level of Kage."

Naruto listened to Kakashi's words with a calm expression. Now he no longer needed to hide his strength.

"Teacher Kakashi, you should know my life experience and the existence in my body, right? Since I returned to the village, Uncle Jiraiya has repeatedly warned me of various things to pay attention to after returning to the village. For more than ten years, I have been dormant and forbearing, just because I know what I will face in the future. A tree that stands out in the forest will be destroyed by the wind. Before I was three years old, I had been living in Myoboku Mountain and learning some special ninjutsu. This should be reasonable. After I returned to the village at the age of three, Uncle Jiraiya also taught me for a period of time, which is also reasonable. After Uncle Jiraiya left, the Third Hokage would always come to the forest. You know that you guide me in my training. In a sense, I am also the disciple of the Third Hokage. It is reasonable for you to teach me some ninjutsu occasionally. Moreover, I have reached a certain consensus with the Nine-Tails in my body, and it will lend me chakra when necessary. Many years ago, when my father sealed the Nine-Tails, he also sealed part of his own and my mother's chakra. I met them more than a year ago. At that time, my mother taught me the sealing technique, and my father also taught me some ninjutsu. Teacher Kakashi, do you think that with so many great people teaching me ninjutsu, I will still be a weak rookie?"

Kakashi listened to Naruto's words in a daze, his mind churning. Judging from the information about Naruto that he has so far, the situation is indeed consistent with what he said. He couldn't help but sigh and admire in his heart. Naruto, who has known to hide himself since he was young, is really impressive. Perhaps if it weren't for this mission, Naruto would probably continue to hide his true self. Although I always feel that there are many suspicious points in Naruto's words, at least 90% of them are wrong, but on second thought, who doesn't have their own secrets? After all, everyone has a past and thoughts that they don't want to be known. Overall, Naruto is indeed the one who has received much attention and is treated like a star.
