Konoha Hidden Village.

As the most prosperous place in the Country of Fire and even the entire Ninja World, although the war did not burn here or even the Country of Fire, the series of changes caused by the war still affected this place.

Not to mention anything else, just the departure of the tens of thousands of Konoha ninjas who originally lived in the village has made the entire village a lot quieter, and even the bustling and bustling business district in the past has become much more depressed than at its peak.

Of course, no matter what, the remaining people will still live their lives as usual.

At this moment, there is a small team consisting of Senju Maki, Uchiha Yui and Naruto Sasuke wandering around on the street doing nothing.

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhingingingy y being being yin me and me ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh being to to to to to to to to to to to to tototos!

/p>

"No! I'm going to practice! I'm going to sign up to fight on the front line!" At the end of the sentence, he even raised his fists, cheering himself up as if he was about to achieve something.

However, soon, his ideal was shattered by reality.

"It's useless. Naruto, who is still two years away from graduating from the Ninja School, no matter how loud you scream, you can only stay in the village." On the side, Maki was laughing with Yui who was holding a cup of milk tea and drinking tons of it.

After hearing Naruto's familiar silly words, he rolled his eyes and said directly.

Before asking Naruto to go shopping together, she had already expected that he would be unable to stop complaining due to his impatience, and she was not surprised by this.

When Naruto heard this, he immediately stared at Maki with his big eyes and vowed: "Ordinary students do have to study for six years before they can graduate from ninja school. But I know that Sasuke's brother often comes with unhealthy books.

The white-haired uncles who work for me all graduated from ninja school early. Zuosuke, do you think so?"

After saying that, Naruto turned to Zuosuke for confirmation.

Zuosuke, who looked away without trace from a wooden fish rice ball stall nearby and put his hands in his trouser pockets, nodded coolly.

"Look, Zuosuke has confirmed the authenticity of Brother Itachi's early graduation. Zuosuke and I can learn from the same example!" Naruto said excitedly, "Zosuke, what do you think? With your strength and mine

, you can definitely pass the assessment and get the genin protection amount in advance, when the time comes..."

"When the time comes, I will go to the front line and be cannon fodder. In less than a second, I will receive my lunch box directly?"

Instantly!

As if a basin of cold water had been poured on him, Naruto's excitement was suddenly halted by Maki's strange interjection.

However, soon after he understood the meaning of the other person's words, he retorted angrily: "Don't interrupt people at will! Also! How can I be cannon fodder, Uncle Naruto! You know I am very powerful, okay?

!"

"So powerful that you can't even beat a four-year-old child?" Maki chuckled, piercing Naruto's heart like a needle.

"That...this...Miss Maki, you are different from other people..."

Hearing this, Naruto blushed and scratched Minato's hair, looking left and right.

Yes, until now he still can't beat Zhenji who opened the wooden escape early.

Beside, Zuozhu, who was doing the same thing, twitched the corners of his mouth.

To avoid further harming Chi Yu, he quickly grabbed Naruto and pointed out: "In the past, the Ninja School did have a rule that students could graduate early if they passed the assessment. But it is no longer possible. All Ninja School students, no matter how talented they are, must complete their studies.

Six years. Naruto, your idea won't work."

"What???" In an instant, like a bolt from the blue, Naruto's face was full of disappointment and he said, "Why is this happening? Which idiot set this policy?"

"I heard that it is for the sake of the mental health of ninja students that they are not allowed to graduate early. In addition, Naruto, the idiot you are talking about is the fourth Hokage of Konoha and my father." Shinji smiled half-smilingly.

Explained to Naruto.

"Ahem~~What idiot? I'm talking about myself." Naruto reacted very quickly and pretended to be stupid.

He is not afraid of Lord Hokage, who has always treated him well, but he is afraid that the great demon king in front of him will go crazy.

‘I have such a cute face for nothing.’

As if encountering a flood of ferocious beasts, Naruto quickly moved his eyes away from Maki's beautiful face that inherited her parents, and then looked at Yui who had been staying obediently to one side, looking at him and others with a gentle smile.

, after some comparison, I couldn’t help but sigh.

In the following time, Naruto, whose illusions were shattered, could only dejectedly go shopping with Zuosuke, guarding the two young ladies like a king on either side.

It's just that "patience" is one of the few things he doesn't have.

Soon, Naruto, who had gone shopping a total of seven or eight hundred times and could even name the shop owners on the street, got bored and said again: "Miss Maki, you and Yui are going shopping.

We can just go together, why do you have to drag me and Zuosuke along?"

Ton~ton~ton~

After walking for some time, Zhenji, who was a little thirsty, did not rush to answer. Instead, she opened the water glass she carried with her, soaked the wolfberry in it, and drank it in a big gulp.

Unlike my best friend Yui, who likes to drink milk tea.

Ever since she noticed that her father-in-law drank water soaked in wolfberry, Zhenji, who regarded her father-in-law as a role model, did not hesitate to choose to drink this strange-tasting drink.

To this day, she still knows that when sister Shizune asked for something like wolfberry, the latter looked at her strangely.

No matter what, Maki has become accustomed to this unique taste after drinking too much. She even found that drinking this drink seems to be quite replenishing her body.

Um...

It seems like it’s a bit too much.

After drinking most of it in one gulp, Zhen Ji just lowered her head and felt wet on her lips.

I reached out and touched it, and it turned out that my nose was bleeding.

She has been training as a ninja for a long time, and she doesn't care about blood, so she just wipes it away as if nothing happened.

Suddenly, she rolled her big and bright eyes, smiled, and while holding Yui's small shoulders beside her, she raised her bloody fingers without concealment, and said to Naruto pretending to be "poor":

"Naruto-kun, can you bear to see our two four- and five-year-old children alone outside? What if we are abducted by adults? Also, look at me, I'm bleeding now and I'm very weak."

"You...you..." Naruto pointed at Maki with a shocked expression.

Although he can be silly sometimes, it doesn't mean he is stupid!

Let’s not talk about Maki’s strength, but just talk about her identity. Now everyone in Konoha doesn’t know who she is, so how could she be in danger?

Just when Naruto was about to retort with indignation, Maki quickly gave Yui a look.

So, the latter's little face immediately put on a sad expression and said: "Brother Naruto, do you hate being with us?"

"I...I..." Naruto was a little incoherent.

At this moment, Zuozhu, who couldn't see past it and also wanted to leave early, took action.

"Take it and use it."

Having already understood everything, he took out Naruto's wallet, added his own, and handed it to Maki together, saying calmly.

"Why is this so embarrassing?"

Even so, Maki still took it with a smile, then waved her hand and said: "Naruto and Zuosuke, you can do whatever you want!"

Naruto stared at all this blankly.

So, calling yourself and Zuosuke over is just for your own pocket money?

When he thought that he and Zuosuke had paid for all the shopping expenses before, Naruto, who was not too stupid, finally came to his senses.

Then, just when he was getting angry and was about to say something, the pitiful look from Yui stopped him.

In the end, Naruto, who could only sigh deeply, was about to leave this sad place with Zuosuke with the sadness that the pocket money he had saved so hard these days no longer existed.

However, at this moment, a sudden huge explosion sounded not far away, breaking the silence of Konoha.

In an instant, Naruto and Zuosuke's footsteps stopped.
Chapter completed!
