Naruto: I also want to be a proud man

Kimimaro was still practicing senjutsu tirelessly in Shigu Forest, while on the other side of Konoha, the impact of Sasuke's departure gradually calmed down.

People are always forgetful, and a few months is enough for most people in Konoha to put Sasuke, who was once highly anticipated in the Chunin Exam, into a corner of memory.

Speaking of Sasuke now, it's just a familiar name.

All five members of the former Konoha pursuit team have recovered from their injuries and been discharged from the hospital. Today is the day when Chouji, the most seriously injured member of the pursuit team, is discharged from the hospital. It is also the day to leave with Sunagakure's support team. Therefore, the young masters of Konoha and the three people from Sunagakure gathered together to have a barbecue.

In the private room of the barbecue restaurant, Choji was devouring the barbecue that was piled high on the plate. Seeing this, Shikamaru couldn't help complaining, "You just got out of the hospital, don't eat it again."

Temari glanced at Shikamaru extremely covertly, and with a smile on the corner of his eyes, he picked up a piece of lettuce and put it into his mouth.

On the other side, Gaara was also taking small bites of barbecue, and at the same time turned to Naruto beside him and said, "We will leave Konoha tomorrow. It's a pity that there is no chance to compete with you."

Naruto still looked gloomy, and Sakura beside him had even more sorrow on her brows. After all, the shock of Sasuke's departure would not be over in a short while. Naruto just ate a piece of barbecue in a depressed manner, vaguely Coping with Gaara.

Gaara knew that he was still worried about Sasuke, and he didn't take it seriously.

On the other side, Ino also held Sakura's hand and said softly, "Eat some anyway. You shouldn't lose your temper when it's so lively."

Sakura glanced at Ino who still looked unhappy. After a while, she raised the topic "How is Kimimaro?"

Ino smiled, "Tsunade-sama said that her psychic beast Slug-sama took Kimimaro to the legendary holy land for recuperation. She told me that I just need to follow her to practice well, and maybe it will be better." It won't be long before Kimimaro comes back safe and sound."

When Sakura heard this, she couldn't help showing a strange look of envy. Then, as if he had made up his mind, he suddenly held Ino's hand and said, "Ino, can you do me a favor?"

Ino looked confused when he heard this, "I will definitely help you if I can." "

Sakura clenched her fists and said, "Can you please ask Tsunade-sama to let me follow you when she teaches you..."

Yes, this is where Sakura's heart knot lies. Her worries these days are not only because of Sasuke's departure, but also because of her own powerlessness.

In the past few days, Konoha's little powerhouses have thought about a lot of things and grown a lot, and Sakura is no exception. In the past few days, she feels more and more helpless because of her own powerlessness.

It was like this in the land of waves, it was like this during the Chunin exam, and it's like this now. . . . . .

I have watched Sasuke leave powerlessly once, and I don't want to be powerless anymore. She Haruno Sakura also wants to become a brave and excellent female ninja.

But Mr. Kakashi said earlier that his ninjutsu talent is not high, and his ninjutsu is not suitable for teaching himself. His parents are just ordinary Chunin, and they can't teach him anything powerful.

So after struggling for a few days, Sakura finally made up her mind. She wanted to find the most powerful female ninja, hoping that she could teach her.

Ino looked at Sakura who was looking at him expectantly, and suddenly smiled, "Of course it's no problem, we are best friends, and your chakra control will definitely surprise Tsunade-sama."

When Sakura heard this, she couldn't help but scream excitedly, "Ino, I knew you were the best." In her heart, Sakura was also clenching her fists and yelling, "Sasuke, next time we meet, I won't let you escape from me." The palm of my hand, ahhahahaha~"

Just as a few people were talking and laughing, a tall figure pushed open the door of the private room and walked in. Naruto was stunned for a moment when he saw the person coming, and then he showed a rare smile, "You finally showed up, Lustful Immortal, you all." Disappeared for several days.”

Jiraiya smiled slightly, then grabbed the barbecue on Naruto's plate and started chewing it
