Chapter 68 Sakura's Concern

Kakashi turned his gaze to Sasuke again and asked, "Sasuke, I am very curious about the taijutsu and physical skills of you and Naruto. They are so powerful and practical. Did you create them yourself?"

Sasuke didn't seem to want to answer the question and just pointed his finger at Naruto.

Naruto was speechless: "Sasuke, you sold me out so quickly!"

Facing Kakashi's gaze again, Naruto coughed twice and said, "Teacher Kakashi, this was developed by me when I was three years old at Myoboku Mountain. The toads at Myoboku Mountain can testify to this."

Kakashi was shocked again, this Naruto was simply a genius, no, perhaps it would be more appropriate to describe him as a devil!

Naruto looked at Kakashi's expression and said with a smile: "Teacher Kakashi, do you want to learn? If you want to learn, I can teach you."

Kakashi looked incredulous. On the one hand, he was impressed by Naruto's selflessness, but on the other hand, he felt helpless about his own situation. In Team 7, he was the instructor, but now he felt like the priorities were reversed. However, facing the temptation of the mysterious taijutsu, he could hardly resist.

Then, Kakashi pretended to be reserved and said, "Naruto, you are really the most outstanding disciple I have ever seen. As a teacher, I can't take your things for nothing. If you want to learn any ninjutsu in the future, I can teach you."

But before Kakashi could finish his words, Naruto spoke first: "Teacher Kakashi, I think the ninjutsu you used to kill Zabuza was quite good."

Kakashi was speechless for a moment, thinking to himself: Oh my goodness, this is coming for me! "Naruto, I should teach you this, but this is Lightning Release, which requires Lightning..."

Before he could finish, Naruto had already performed a simple lightning ninjutsu: "Teacher Kakashi, I have five types of chakra at the same time, just like my grandfather."

Kakashi held his forehead helplessly. This child was really too unexpected. Then, he had no choice but to agree.

As everyone continued on their journey back to Konoha, Naruto pulled out a mysterious book from his pocket and quietly put it into Kakashi's hand.

"Teacher Kakashi, I hope you can keep confidential what I said today and what happened in Wave Country. Grandpa Sandai has repeatedly told me that I will be Konoha's secret weapon in the future, so I should try not to expose myself. I picked this up by accident, and I don't understand it, so I'm giving it to you."

Kakashi took the book from Naruto, and naturally knew the interests involved. But when he opened the book and saw the title, he was instantly attracted by the title "The Story I Have to Tell with the Female Shadow", which seemed quite interesting.

Kakashi looked at Naruto deeply, then quietly hid the book into his ninja tool bag.

Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, several months have passed. On this day, all the friends finally gathered together. They gathered at the forest training ground. What was different from usual was that this time there was one more Sakura.

After spending many days together as teammates, Naruto invited her as well. First, because they were teammates; second, Sakura's strength in the early stage was too weak. In his memory of his previous life, Naruto didn't have a good impression of Sakura. Not to mention that she would "kill her" when there was nothing to do, and "Naruda" when there was something to do, her attitude towards Naruto was also hard to describe. In short, there were many things that people criticized.

However, after coming to this world and getting along with Sakura, I found that the Sakura in this world is very different from the Sakura in the anime. She is careful, bold, smart, and not in love. More importantly, she has an enterprising heart that wants to chase everyone. After the Zabuza incident, it can be clearly felt that she is eager to grow and become stronger. She always asks Kakashi to teach her some ninjutsu in private.

So, Naruto decided to abandon his prejudice and really help her. After all, the unsatisfactory "Sakura" only exists in the anime. Originally, Naruto wanted to gather the Twelve Little Warriors of Konoha as soon as possible and help them grow. But he is a very casual person and believes in letting things take their own course. Just like when he first met Choji in the downtown area, he did not deliberately look for those people. If there is a destiny, everyone will eventually get together.

Everyone was particularly happy at this gathering, after all, they hadn't seen each other for a long time. Everyone seemed to have endless things to say, and they all talked about interesting things and complaints during the missions. Since becoming Genin, everyone has been on missions frequently. Such a rare gathering is rare, not to mention that everyone can rest at the same time.

This time, Hinata changed her usual shyness and sat next to Naruto throughout the whole party. However, two resentful eyes glanced over here from time to time.

As the party was coming to an end, Naruto estimated the approximate time. He motioned for everyone to be quiet, and then said: "Everyone listen to me, I estimated the approximate time. During this period, the Chunin Exam may be held. At that time, the ninjas from other ninja villages will come to our village for the assessment. I am here to tell everyone that unless it is absolutely necessary, try not to use the Six Styles. A tree that stands out in the forest will be destroyed by the wind. Compared with the entire ninja world, you are still very weak. The Six Styles is very tempting to the entire ninja world, and it is inevitable that some ninjas will have bad intentions. Of course, I am not saying that you must not use it, but I suggest that you try not to use it unless your life is threatened. Once your life is threatened, you must not hold back, and it is best not to leave anyone alive."

After hearing what Naruto said, everyone nodded solemnly.

Sasuke pondered for a moment and then said: "Naruto, you are right, we must be careful. But if we really encounter danger, I will not show mercy."

Shikamaru stroked his chin, looking helpless: "It's really troublesome, but it's better to be careful."

Naruto looked at everyone's determined expressions and felt relieved: "Okay, then everyone should work harder to train during this period and strive to perform well in the Chunin Exam."

Hinata whispered, "I'll try to keep up with everyone."

While stuffing food into his mouth, Choji mumbled, "Don't worry, Naruto."

Everyone expressed their thoughts, but Sakura was the only one who remained silent and sat there quietly. Sakura knew that this group of people had always been childhood sweethearts since she started school, and they started playing together when they were very young. But at this moment, she always felt a knot in her heart, as if she could never really fit in with everyone.

Naruto naturally noticed Sakura's abnormality, but he still didn't say anything. He understood that feeling because he had been experiencing it in his previous life. In fact, no one was deliberately ostracizing her at this time. It's just that Sakura's mind is too delicate. In layman's terms, everyone's strength is quite high, but she is the weakest one. It's like among a group of college graduates, you are the only one who graduated from elementary school. When talking about topics beyond your cognitive scope, they are all talking happily, but you are the only one who is at a loss. So Naruto decided to give Sakura a strict training next to help her catch up with everyone as soon as possible.

Finally, when everyone was leaving, Naruto decided to improve everyone's strength and warned them to gather here again tomorrow night.

On the way back, Sakura looked at Naruto's back, as if she had something to say, but she couldn't bring herself to say it. Naruto saw her inner struggle and smiled, "Sakura, don't worry, I understand what you're thinking. They are all my friends who I've been with for nearly ten years, and I've watched them grow up. Starting tomorrow, I'll also give you strict training, and I hope you're mentally prepared."

Sakura stopped and looked at Naruto quietly. Suddenly she felt like crying. The man in front of her could actually guess her thoughts. At this moment, his smile became more charming.

"Naruto, thank you."

“You’re welcome, we’re all teammates and the most solid partners.
