Konoha: Doing good deeds can make you stronger

Chapter 78
When Uchiha Fugaku left the room, Uchiha Itachi split into several clones in an instant, left quickly, and began to spread the news secretly, reaching the ears of the "big shots" in Konoha.

"Oh? Sasuke and Naruto quarreled? On the street? Will we have a duel the day after tomorrow?"

Anbe Ninja, who has been observing Naruto secretly, reported all the information he saw to Sarutobi Hiruzen.

"Is it the Uchiha family?"

The old man lowered his head, as if he was thinking about something important.

In the forest of the village, a kunai suddenly flew out of the shadows and stabbed directly at Rock Lee, who was sitting and doing push-ups. Maitekai on the side reacted instantly, and stretched out his hand to grab the kunai in his hand.

"Teacher Akai! What happened? Is it an enemy attack?"

Xiao Li stood up nervously, carefully observed the surrounding environment, and was alert to the next round of attacks that the enemy might launch.

Maitekai let go of the kunai in his hand, and found that there was a letter tied to the kunai, so he opened the letter and read it.

"It's not an enemy, by the way, Xiao Li, do you have something to do the day after tomorrow?"

"No, the day after tomorrow is also a day for exercise." Rock Lee shook his head.

"Okay, let's watch a duel together the day after tomorrow! A battle about youth and passion!"

"Okay! Teacher Akai!"

On a street in Konoha, Kakashi, who was wandering around, raised his eyebrows, and with a wave of his hand, he caught Kunai who flew from nowhere, and there was also a letter tied to Kunai.

"Ok?"

Come and want to go?
Unlike Mitekai, Kakashi did not stop to read the letter, but immediately judged the opponent's position, performed the instant body technique, and appeared at the place where Kunai threw it, but to his surprise, When I arrived, I only saw fallen leaves scattered all over the ground.

faster than me?

After losing the figure of the other party, Kakashi opened the letter tied to Kunai.

But he simply tore the letter into pieces after just a few glances, and threw it aside.

"A duel? Boring."

In Hyuga's house, the Hyuga clansmen who were guarding the door ran into the house in a panic, and respectfully handed a letter to Hyuga Hyuzu's hands.

"Master Patriarch, someone put this letter at the door just now, and then the person disappeared!"

"who?"

"I don't know, I can't see the face!"

Choji Akimichi stood at the door of a candied haws shop, drooling as he looked at the plump, crystal-clear candied haws in the shop, and suddenly found a strange person beside him.

"You are Ding Ci." The other party took the initiative to speak, and the friendly tone made Ding Ci feel good.

"Ah you are?"

"It doesn't matter who I am, do you really want to eat candied haws? If you are willing to help me deliver this letter to Shikamaru, I can treat you to it."

"Okay, okay, you're such a nice person!"

Choji accepted the letter without hesitation.

At the same time, similar things were happening in every corner of Konoha. In just one night, almost all the famous ninjas in the village knew that Naruto was going to duel with Sasuke.

And Marutani Koko still didn't know anything, immersed in a sweet dream, and was awakened by a loud knock on the door the next day.

"I'm coming!"

Who could it be so early?
Marutani Ko stretched his waist and pushed open the door. Yesterday he took another night's chakra.

Opening the door, the boy found that standing at the door was Nara Shikamaru who was full of depression.

"Shikamaru? Why are you here?"

"Someone is building momentum!"

Nara Shikamaru was invited into the room, and sat in front of Marutani Kou with a mature face, drinking the tea he had just brewed unhurriedly.

"My lord father said so."

After Nara Shikahisa received the news, he began to inquire about the situation of other ninjas, and found that this matter was spread to everyone in just one night, and suddenly felt bad. This is why he let Nara Shika The reason why Maru came to Marutani Koya.

After hearing the development of the whole thing, Marutani Kou frowned, feeling very strange.

Who is behind this incident?What is his purpose in doing this?How will Naruto and Sasuke be affected by this?

"what happened?"

Listening to the movement in the living room, Naruto rubbed his eyes in a daze and walked out of the room, still wearing the pajamas that Marutani Kou bought for him, and only found his little friend when he got closer.

"Shikamaru, why are you here?"

"Huh~~~ha," Shikamaru picked up the teacup and blew gently, "running errands."

In order to find out who is behind this incident, Marutani Hang intends to ask Naruto first.

"Naruto, have you told anyone else about the duel?"

Hearing Marutani Kou's question, Naruto was obviously stunned for a while, then shook his head in confusion.

"No, after making an appointment with Sasuke, I will go home and learn ninjutsu from my teacher."

There is no need for Naruto to lie to himself, of course Marutani Koko will believe him.

That being the case, the only ones who know the news from Naruto are himself and Neji, who was a guest yesterday.

Neji's personality is extremely stable and mature. Among the many children Marutani knows, he is the most trustworthy one. If there is no other reason, Marutani believes that it is impossible for Neji to tell others about this matter. Just tell the members of the Hyuga family.

The Hyuga family has always been on good terms with him, and the relationship between Naruto and Neji is also very good. The Hyuga family has no reason to create momentum for the duel.

However, it cannot be ruled out that other Hyuga clansmen may spread the news after hearing the news.

"Brother Marutani Koko!"

It's really Cao Cao, Cao Cao arrived, just as Marutani Kou thought about the matter of Hyuga's family, Neji rushed to the three of them.

"Ningji, why are you here?"

"Brother Marutani, I didn't tell anyone about the duel!"

Ning Ci obviously ran all the way here, his cheeks were reddish at this time, and he was panting to explain his purpose for coming this time.

"I went home yesterday, and neither my father nor the patriarch had returned. I didn't see them when I fell asleep, but when I woke up in the morning, I heard this from my father and the patriarch. Therefore, after I have explained the situation with my father, I will rush to explain this matter to you."

"Ning Ci, drink water, drink water, you have worked hard."

"It's not hard, it's not hard."

Seeing Neji's anxious appearance, Marutani Koko couldn't help being moved and grabbed Shikamaru's freshly brewed tea, poured a cup and stuffed it into Neji's hand.

"The gap between you and others is too big!" Shikamaru's face darkened suddenly, "I am also your teacher's son after all!"

Marutani Kou showed a regretful expression, and patted the boy on the shoulder.

"Shikamaru, this is called the closer people are, the less they know how to cherish. The main reason I treat you so casually is because I care too much about you."

Shikamaru didn't respond, but Naruto suddenly clapped his hands, and when he saw him, tears were streaming down his face.

"So that's how it is! No wonder the teacher is cruel to me from time to time! Call me stupid! It turns out it's because the teacher cares about me!"

No, Naruto, you misunderstood.
