Naruto: I don't want to work hard anymore

Chapter 91: Plot Timeline Begins

Ever since she learned that Naruto could sense emotions, Mikoto didn't know how to face Naruto.

Especially every time when the yellow-haired boy, who looked to be about sixteen or seventeen years old, looked at her with a smile, she always felt inexplicably ashamed.

It was as if everything about her was being watched and played with by that gaze unscrupulously, which made her feel uneasy inside, but also a kind of indescribable excitement.

The more she tried to stay calm, the more her emotions fluctuated.

And naturally, Naruto couldn't hide every time his emotions fluctuated.

She could feel the amusement and inquiry in Naruto's eyes when he looked at her.

But fortunately, Naruto didn't seem to do anything rash.

It was just that occasionally when she was eating, the seemingly accidental contact of feet and ankles under the table made her feel flustered.

Most of the time, Naruto made uneasy gestures while chatting, and it was hard to tell whether it was intentional or unintentional.

Occasionally, she would tap the other person's ankle with her toes, but she couldn't even tell whether it was a reminder or a response.

This made her feel even more ashamed, and she wanted to escape, but she found that she couldn't avoid contact with Naruto no matter what.

Just like that, two years passed by in a daze.

In two years, both Sasuke and Itachi grew a lot taller.

Although Naruto always looks like he is about sixteen or seventeen years old, Mikoto feels that his real body should not be shorter than Sasuke.

"I am leaving!"

At the entrance, Sasuke put on ninja shoes and held the Kusanagi sword across his waist.

His attire is similar to that at the beginning of the original story, with a high-necked T-shirt, sleeves and shorts, but the color is the white that is more popular in Kumogakure.

Two years have passed, and he still hasn't been able to defeat Misaka Mikoto, but his strength has improved.

For example, half a year ago, he tied weights on himself at Naruto's request and gradually increased the weight of the weights.

At the same time, he also practiced the Eight Gates of Ninjutsu, and through high-intensity training and daily drug use, he achieved the strength standard of five gates.

As long as you can't practice to death, practice to death!
With the elixir at his disposal, Naruto was trained completely according to the standards of a Jinchūriki.

The effect is naturally very obvious. Now Sasuke can fight with Misaka Mikoto, the human-shaped tailed beast, on equal terms in physical skills.

Even his dear Onisan didn't dare to take his kick head-on.

"Don't forget to bring your lunch!"

"understood!"

Walking out of the house, Sasuke climbed out of the corridor window.

They sped along the iron chain bridge between the mountains and arrived at the Huangmao training base in Yunlei Gorge, only to find that there were several figures in the training ground which was usually deserted.

"Lord Raikage!"

Sasuke stopped and respectfully greeted the burly figure at the head, then glamorously ignored Karin and Dodai who were also present.

"Tsk, you stinky Sasuke!"

Seeing Sasuke's arrogant look, Karin couldn't help but curl her lips.

Because of the elixir, Xianglin has grown a lot taller in the past two years and is considered tall among her peers.

With her red hair tied into a high ponytail, she wore a belly-baring top and shorts, and high ninja boots. She was a beautiful girl.

Unfortunately, his mind is still broad, and there is no comparison with the two at home.

Not to mention the present, the future is incomparable, it is like seeing old at a glance...

"It's Sasuke."

Ai nodded, took out a Kumogakure forehead protector and gave it to Sasuke.

"I heard that you haven't taken the graduation exam yet, but that doesn't make sense to you, so I just brought the forehead protector to you today."

"Also, I heard that you have become as powerful as a jonin. You did a great job. You are worthy of being an Uchiha genius."

"Thank you for your praise, Raikage-sama."

Sasuke took the forehead protector and was in a very good mood.

Although I have always admired my brother who is a ninja, I was not as excited as I imagined when I actually received the forehead protector.

After being with Naruto for so long, he already understood one thing.

Status is useless, strength is everything. Last year, when Naruto released his third album, the Daimyo of the Land of Lightning gave him a noble title and the glamorous title of Protector of the Nation in the name of his fans.

Although it's just a nominal position, Sasuke feels that it's not entirely because Naruto sings well that he was given this title...

The main reason may be that he can lock onto the daimyo's mansion from thousands of miles away, teleport to the daimyo's front in one second and use his ultimate skill, and flatten the entire territory of the Land of Thunder in half an hour.

"Lord Raikage, do you have any mission for me?" Sasuke asked.

"It's about the Chunin Exams."

Naruto explained cheerfully, "With both the Jinchuriki and the Uchiha leaving, Konoha's strength has declined drastically, and they have no choice but to unite with Sand Village and Kirigakure."

"Add to that the occasional probing by Iwagakure, and Konoha can no longer hide the fact that its strength has weakened. In the past two years, a lot of missions have been taken away by the village."

"As for the two villages of Sand Village and Mist Village, they are extremely poor. Not to mention supporting Konoha, they can barely afford to eat."

"So in order to change this situation and publicize their own strength, the three villages plan to hold a joint Chunin Exam in Konoha."

Naruto said, his tone playful as he pulled out a document.

"Perhaps in order to gain international recognition, they also sent an invitation to Kumogakure. However, this is only natural. Otherwise, if we question and ridicule the test results on the grounds that we did not receive an invitation, it is likely that all their efforts will be in vain..."

"Konoha..."

There was a gloomy flash in Sasuke's eyes. Although he was well taken care of by his mother and brother, he would not forget the revenge for his father's murder.

"I'm going!"

"Of course, that's why I came here!"

Ai grinned: "Not only you, Naruto will also take part in this exam, Uchiha plus Jinchuriki... I'm really looking forward to the expressions of those idiots in Konoha, hahaha!"

Sasuke looked at Naruto with some surprise: "You are actually interested in this kind of thing?"

"It's just that there are some things I need to confirm, and I need to stay in the Fire Nation for a while."

The most important thing is to confirm the story of Otsutsuki. In comparison, the Chunin Exam is just for fun.

It’s just a formality, a crushing victory, and some publicity, it’s that simple.

Naruto tilted his head towards Karin and said, "We need to participate in the Chunin Exam this time in teams. Our team members are you, me, and Karin."

"Where are the leading jonin? The two women in your family?"

"Samui."

Naruto spread his hands and thought that this kind of work involving diplomacy would be more appropriately handed over to the strong-willed Samui.

Although he is not a professional civilian like Mabui, Samui also has outstanding quick thinking and intelligence analysis capabilities.

"When to set off?"

"Anytime, go back and tell Aunt Mikoto tonight."

"Um…"

Sasuke nodded and looked at Ai: "Can I avenge my father this time?"

"You should ask Naruto, I don't care."

Ai laughed: "After the end of this Chunin Exam, Naruto will inherit the position of Raikage in two years at most, so even if a war is triggered, it will be this kid's concern."

Sasuke was slightly startled when he heard this, he knew that Naruto was the successor to the Raikage, but he didn't expect it to happen so early.

"As you like."

Seeing Sasuke's pleading eyes, Naruto spread his hands slightly, his tone helpless.

"In principle, personal behavior should not involve the village, but now I am the principle, there is nothing I can do. I am famous for my double standards..."

As he said this, he rubbed Sasuke's head with a grin.

"Who told you to be my disciple? But the opponent's strength is average, so I will only save you, not help you."

"That's enough... Thank you, Master."

Sasuke turned his head unhappily, avoiding Naruto's head touch, his cheeks slightly flushed.

Although Naruto's age made him feel uncomfortable, perhaps because he had always looked like he was sixteen or seventeen years old, he was no longer opposed to Naruto's identity as his disciple.

Of course, patting the head to kill is definitely not an option!
