Iji ran over yellingly, "Wait, wait, everyone!" Jingzang and others were puzzled and looked over. Iji ran to the front and gasped, "It's great, I finally found it!" Naruto asked why, Iji apologized first, "The thief you handed over to me was robbed by other thieves." Naruto cursed foolishly, Iji said, "So I want to ask everyone to take back that thief for me."

Jingzang was not angry, "Don't you claim to be a master of ninja? Just do it yourself." Iji was embarrassed and said that he was not in a state recently. Naruto said, "What else do ninjas need?" Jingzang criticized, "You are not a woman, you have troubles of that kind of thing." Iji was embarrassed, "This..." Akai refused to help, "We have urgent matters and we must leave immediately. Besides, you are a member of the government, just go back to the yamen to find more people to help." Aoba said, "And it was a thief who snatched the thief, but it was just a nest anyway." Naruto agreed, "It's just a self-inflicted."

Iji hurriedly said, "It's not like this... Although that guy is a bad guy, he is not a vicious person. Because of his fierce appearance, Barna has always been bullied by everyone. But in fact, he has always been timid, kind, and good at taking care of others." Jing Zang said, "Hey, you know that guy very well! You even know your name and personality so clearly." Iji couldn't hesitate, and Yamato said, "Are you really a man in the government?" Jing Zang said, "You two were very suspicious at the beginning." Yiji said, "I understand, I will confess all this."

Then, Iji talked about him and Barna's activities, "That's it." Naruto was dissatisfied, "What are you? Why do you do such stupid things?" Iji begged, "Please, help me! You are the hero who saved Konoha!" Jingzang said, "Since he is your companion, why did he let him do such a dangerous thing? Why don't you think about it for him? This is the country of water. If you encounter the Fog Ninja, Barna will be killed directly." Iji stammered, "What are you talking about? He is not a companion! That guy is a fool. I took him with him for convenience... he is not a companion at all!"

Naruto clenched his fists, "Bastard, you actually said he is not your companion!" Iji was beaten out by Naruto with an iron fist, Iji got up, "What are you doing?" Naruto scolded sternly, "What is Barna to you? Maybe you have always treated him as a fool, but Barna has been with you since childhood, right? He is the best friend who has been together to this day, right? This is not a companion, what is that?" Iji sweated on his head, and couldn't speak for a moment. Akai whispered to Naruto in a low voice, and then said, "This is the order!" Naruto said he knew.

Akai said, "If we have time, we can indeed listen to your request, but it is not possible now. We cannot easily expose our identity and location." Yamato said, "Please forget to see us!" Akai ordered to leave, and everyone else left, leaving only Jingzang and Naruto. Iji knelt on the ground and begged repeatedly, "Wait, please, I can't do it alone." Jingzang spread his hands, "Did you hear it? We can't help." Iji said, "Why do you do this? Then what should I do?" Naruto said, "Do you decide your own affairs!"

Jingzang and Naruto left, and Iji sighed, "Is Barna... a companion?" Thinking of Barna's concern for his safety when he was captured, Iji made a decision. Looking at his captured companion, Iji immediately went to Naruto for help. After being rejected, he could only rely on his own strength to rescue his close friend.

The 4 mercenary group was walking on the road, and a smoke bomb suddenly dropped from the tree, blocking its sight. Iji jumped down and cut the rope on Barna with a short knife. Barna was a little surprised, "Iji, why are you..." Iji laughed, and four mercenaries in front of him. The cow ran away and the smoke dissipated. Mercenary Arm was very angry, "You are indeed this guy's companion!" Iji said, "We are not companions, nor friends. This guy is my best friend, my best friend!" Barna burst into tears, "Iji!" As he spoke, Iji threw the detonation talisman.

The 4-member mercenary group hurriedly dodged. After the explosion, Iji and Barna disappeared. The 4-member mercenary group was furious and went to chase him immediately. Iji and Barna ran away along the woods. The two fled to the hidden place by the river and stopped to rest. Iji said, "Bana, are you okay?" Barna was still asking why, and Iji complained, "It's really useless, you guy is really useless! If you don't rescue you, how can I go about my plan!" Iji took the risk of rescuing Barna, but Barna was still very moved. He knew that Iji always had a bad heart.

Ige said, "Actually, I have been using you..." Barna said, "There is no such thing. I am like an evil ghost. I have been disliked by everyone since I was a child. Only Ige, you are willing to be friends with me!" Ige said, "Idiot, at that time I was bullied by others. They said that I wanted me to deceive you and would not mess with me again." Barna said, "I have known this for a long time, but no matter what, we became close friends!" Ige shed tears, and his friend was only Barna.

The 4 mercenary group surrounded the place, shouting and letting Naruto Uzumaki get out, "I won't let you run away again!" Iji shouted, "Let them see our ambition!" Barna carried the mace, "No matter where I go, I will fight side by side with Iji!" The two of them were full of fighting spirit, but their skills were not as good as others. After two rounds, they fell to the ground and couldn't get up. The mercenaries smiled, "That's just a little bit of ability, and want to beat us!" "Catch Naruto Uzumaki alive, don't leave a living one!" Barna said, "I'm sorry, if I'm really as powerful as Naruto Uzumaki, I can protect Iji." Iji said, "Barna..."

Mercenary B was about to throw the shuriken. Banna blocked the front and spread his arms, "Iji, run away quickly! Thank you for treating me as a close friend." Mercenary A and B threw several shurikens at the same time and attacked Banna. Iji screamed. Naruto suddenly appeared, and shot down the shuriken with Kyuubi in his hand. All the shurikens fell into the river. The mercenary group was shocked, "Nani?" Naruto laughed, "It's true, you two... can't stand it anymore!" Akai and others appeared together, Jing Zang's water clone emerged directly from the river. He kept lurking there with the water clone and passed the message to Akai and others.

Iki said, "Ah, you are not..." Jingzang took back his water clone, "Sorry, we could hardly believe it at that time, so we tried it." Akai shouted, "I am very moved now! I have no abandoned friends, I trust my friends!" Naruto provoked the mercenaries, "Hey, you four guys, who do you think you are? Do you know who he is?" Naruto pointed to Banna, "Hey, hey, hey, hey, who do you think you are? Do you know who he is?" Naruto pointed to Banna, "Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, who you are? Do you know who he is?" Banna was stunned, "Hey, I?" Naruto pointed to Iki again, "This is Naruto Uzumaki's close friend, Jin Yu Jingzang, known as Konoha's ultimate inferior ninja!" Everyone shouted together, Jingzang's face became very strange.

Naruto smiled and said, "Give some strength, you are Naruto and Akira Zang, the second group of Konoha's crane at the end!" Jing Zang Khan, "Naruto..." Iji was energetic, "Yes, I am Konoha's ultimate ninja Jinyu Akira Zang, and you are the world-famous hero Naruto Uzumaki!" Barna raised his mace to show off, "Uzumaki Naruto, a big move for life!"

With the assistance of Jingzang and Naruto, Iji and Barna successfully defeated the mercenary 4-man group. The strength of this mercenary 4-man group is at most, and now they are tied together and thrown on the ground. Jingzang shook his head, "It's really a waste. At this level, he dares to claim to be a wandering ninja mercenary group!"

Barna returned the guard to Naruto, "I will give you the name of Naruto, I can't afford to hurt this name!" Iji said, "Thank you, Naruto!" Naruto said modestly, "What do you want to do next? Do you want to become a ninja?" Iji was embarrassed, "No, I gave up. I will experience such a terrifying thing, which seems not suitable for me. We have decided to go back to my hometown to live an ordinary life." Barna said, "It doesn't matter. As long as I'm with Iji, you can go anywhere." Jingzang said, "This is not a good choice!" Everyone waved goodbye, and Naruto said, "Get along well!"

In the evening, the Konoha sailboat set sail again, along the sea route of Eihong. Iki and Bana came to the shore and shouted loudly, "Thank you, Naruto!" "Be careful on the way!" Naruto laughed, "It's them, such a loud voice!" Jingzang shouted, "Live happily!" Naruto expressed his feelings, "It's so good for a close friend!" Jingzang said, "We will live a peaceful life like them one day."

———————————————

Konoha, the sun is shining. Konohamaru, Moehuang and Udon trio are acting in the woods. They are secretly looking at the assembly area ahead, where Tsunade and others summon the ninjas here to prepare for the ninjas. However, those who can participate in this ninjas are all ninjas above the Chunin, and the Xiaonin is not in the battle sequence. With the same purpose as Konohamaru, Hanabu, Lanmaru and Goblin are also far away from the woods. The three of them are all perceptual ninjas. Although the distance is far, they can see more clearly. Nara's father and son are standing next to Tsunade. A sunin is giving orders on behalf of Tsunade, asking a group of ninjas to leave first.

Kazuku said, "The morale of all members is high! They always maintain the momentum of rushing to the battlefield." Tsunade was worried because these young ninjas didn't know how powerful Uchiha Madara was. To them, Uchiha Madara was just a legendary person. In fact, Tsunade, Sarutobi and others didn't know how powerful Uchiha Madara was, but according to the information sent back by Akira, they knew that Uchiha Madara was a ninja that surpassed the Shadow-level level, and in the past, only the first Naruto Senju Hashirama of the same level could match.

Seeing Tsunade and others leaving, Konohamaru lifted the branches, "It's great, we can't be idle either." Hanahuo jumped over, "What are you here doing secretly?" Konohamaru and Lanmaru were shocked, "It's you!" Gokumaru and Lanmaru also appeared. Konohamaru understood suddenly, "Damn it, rolling their eyes, red eyes... It's really convenient! But even so, this ninja war is not yours." Hanahuo sneered, "We are all ninjas, so naturally we can't participate in the battle. Can you convince the third dynasty to agree to your team to fight?" Konohamaru was speechless, "Menghuang, Udon, let's go!" Menghuang and Udon had to agree.

Ranmaru said, "Miss Hanaguchi, do you want to participate in this ninja war, too?" Hanaguchi said, "Yes, I just wanted to see it on the battlefield, but my father refused to let it go. So I could only hope that Konohamaru would agree to the third generation to participate in the war..." Gokumaru opposed, "Sister Honglian said that with our strength, we cannot participate in this ninja war. Only ninjas above the Chunin are given a chance." Hanaguchi said, "Naruto and Azusa and others are still in the Ninja. Why can they participate in the Ninja war?" Ranmaru said, "They are in special circumstances!" Gokumaru said, "They didn't make it to the Chunin exam, otherwise they would have passed the Kanji level."

Konohamaru and the other two walked forward on the tree. Menghuang suddenly shot out Kuwai and nailed Konohamaru's headscarf to the tree. Konohamaru almost fell down. Menghuang said, "Wait for now, Udon!" Udon shot out three Kuwai, and Konohamaru had gone around under the tree and made seals to fight back. "Fire escape, ash burn!" This is the fire escape ninjutsu taught by Asma to Konohamaru. In an instant, Menghuang and Udon were covered with gray ashes and coughed. Konohamaru did not continue to attack, but removed the ninjutsu. Menghuang was dissatisfied, "Konohamaru, this is too messy!" Konohamaru jumped over, "Listen, Konoha is now in a state of combat readiness, and we must always be able to go to the battlefield."

This is what Sarutobi Hinazun said, but the object he was talking about was a fighting ninja of the Chunin and above. Konohamaru remembered it after hearing it, and used it to teach his two companions a lesson. Udon lay on the ground and pretended to be dead. "I don't think we can be sent to the battlefield immediately." Moezo said, "And we have the duties we should fulfill!" Konohamaru said, "You are talking about it easily. After that, we all grew up. We must make a difference and become the heroes of the village like Naruto. In short, the time to make achievements for Konohamaru!" Moehuang and Udon shook their heads together. They had nothing to say about Konohamaru's eagerness for quick success and instant benefits.
