The New Uzumaki Legend of Naruto

Konoha Training Ground 7 three years later

"Sasuke, you have to work harder. You can't accomplish your goal in your current situation." Naruto said to Sasuke who was lying on the ground with a smile on his face.

That face lying on the ground looked back at Naruto unwillingly, but there was no hint of jealousy in his eyes. He had become accustomed to the feeling of failure. Ever since Naruto learned the shadow clone, Sasuke had never won since the beginning of their competition. Even once.

At first, Sasuke was really jealous of Naruto's talent and even resented that he had a useless person like him. How could he defeat Itachi? Those were the darkest days for Sasuke, when he felt that there was no light in the world.

Menma knew about his situation, but he didn't. He went there by himself and told Naruto about Sasuke's life experience and story.

After hearing this, Naruto lowered his head and muttered for a while, then raised his head with a smile and gave a thumbs up.

"Big brother, I will cheer up Sasuke!" After saying that, he ran to find Sasuke.

The next day was the time when Touma saw Naru and Sasuke again. Sasuke's waist no longer hurt, his legs were no longer sore, and he could even use 2 magatama in his eyes.

Menma still remembered staring at his younger brother in surprise. He didn't expect that although Naruto was young, he had good mouth escape skills.

From then on, Sasuke seemed to have become Naruto's follower, and he recognized Naruto as his brother from the bottom of his heart. But that didn't stop him from drifting off from time to time. This time, because he learned that Menma taught him that he was Kakashi's version of Chidori, he suddenly came to Naruto for a duel. It's a pity that those with too little chakra were directly drowned in Naruto's army.

Lying on the ground, Sasuke held Naruto's outstretched hand and straightened up, feeling a little confused.

"Naruto, when do you think I can kill that guy?"

-----

Sasuke was the one who asked questions on a daily basis, especially today when he drifted off but was beaten severely.

Across from Naruto, who showed Minato's signature smile, Akira was sitting in the shade, nibbling on a flower branch, and Menma narrowed her eyes slightly.

"Sasuke! If you believe in yourself, as long as you put in the effort, you will feel that you are getting stronger every day. I will always help you to achieve your goal. Come on!"

Sasuke raised his head and looked at the blond boy standing in front of him. This was the only person in Konoha who truly understood him as a human being. There was also someone who had always been by his side to encourage him and encourage him to train with him and become stronger.

[It feels really good to have a bond. ]

Sasuke was thinking in his heart but he said arrogantly, "You don't need to tell me, I will work hard and I will definitely kill that guy."

Menma saw that the relationship in front of him had completely gone wrong. The two of them were chewing the q-bomb between their lips and teeth, feeling the deliciousness of the flowers. She silently sighed in her heart.

[These two people have changed a lot. I'm afraid Naruto's status in Sasuke's heart is more important than revenge now. There is such a thing as innocence and friendship. ]

He rubbed his hands which were quite clean and stuck the bamboo sticks on the ground. He walked forward and said to the two of them gently.

"Thank you for your hard work in the past three years. You have undoubtedly grown tremendously. You are now at least a chunin. After that, you will have to rely on your own training."

The two of them heard that Menma's words meant farewell. Naruto was very reluctant and asked first.

"Big brother, won't you teach me in the future?"

Next to Naruto was Sasuke, who was also staring at Menma. He was very grateful to the person in front of him. If it weren't for Menma, he would still be playing house in the ninja school.

"It's not like we won't meet again in the future. Everyone is bowing their heads in Konoha and not looking up. The only one who can teach you is to teach you. I have already told you that you have already graduated." Menma replied with a smile.

Menma, who is now ten years old this year, has been teaching Saunaru for three years. Whatever else he can teach them, he has already taught them. From now on, they can only rely on their own efforts.

Moreover, as the Water Kingdom project was about to begin, he needed to pay full attention to the development there and had no energy to pay attention to some things in Konoha.

Naruto and Sasuke were relieved after hearing this, knowing that they could see each other again in the future. It doesn't really matter whether the two people are training or not. Two years ago, Ma Jiu taught them everything. Now the only difference between the two is that they don't have the opportunity to polish their own strength in real combat.

Suddenly an excited voice broke the sad atmosphere

"Let's go to Ichiraku Ramen to celebrate!" Naruto suggested.

After hearing this, Menma smiled and nodded, "Ah, it's time to celebrate."

Then he turned to Sasuke and said, "Sasuke, let's go and have a good rest." The latter curled his lips and knew that in front of these two people, he had no right to refuse and quickly sorted out his face and clothes that had just been beaten.

Yile Ramen

"Hey, Naruto and Menma, are you the same today?" Uncle Ichiraku greeted warmly.

Naruto chuckled "That must be it!"

After saying that, he pulled Sasuke and Menma to sit down on one side of him and told Menma about the recent events with excitement on his face.

"Big brother, I won the first place in this actual battle, but the overall first place was taken by Sasuke. Those theories are too difficult."

At the end of the sentence, Naruto held his head and his round face wrinkled into a pickle.

Sasuke raised his chin slightly and replied with a hint of pride in his tone, "Those who only know how to use brute force are reckless."

Every theory test was the only time he could find his place, so he was very happy to see Naruto like this.

After hearing what Sasuke said, Naruto shouted angrily.

"What kind of knowledge you have is useless, but you can't beat me!"

Sasuke turned away his head in disdain to express that he did not want to talk to such a reckless man.

Menma listened to the conversation between the two and chimed in happily.

"Naruto, it's time that this knowledge, as well as very important intelligence gathering, trap making, etc., can be used as weapons in battle."

Seeing that Menma was not on his side, Naruto muttered unwillingly.

"If you learn those things, it will be useful to convince them one by one."

Now in school, he has the bully of the ninja school who leads a group of younger brothers to run rampant and tyrannical all day long. Otherwise, after being taught by Menma a few times, he would restrain himself and lead those second-generation ninjas to become the most ignorant in the ninja world. Awesome.

At this time, Uncle Ichiraku handed over three bowls of steaming ramen one after another. The three of them took advantage of the heat to slurp up the noodles. Menma said to Naruto as he moved his chopsticks like flying.

"Ninjas don't just have to run rampant. There are a lot of things that need to be learned, but you can slowly understand these in practice after you graduate."

Naruto heard the graduate holding up his chopsticks with great enthusiasm and said, "I'm really looking forward to becoming a ninja."

Sasuke was also looking forward to becoming a ninja, but his thirst for power was not as strong as his own. He looked at the bowl filled with noodles and soup, hesitating on his face, but in the end he made up his mind and turned his head to Menma and asked what he had been wanting to ask for the past few years.

"Itachi with numb face, no matter how strong you are, can you kill him?"

Menma glanced at him slightly in surprise. She didn't expect this guy to endure it for so long before asking. He put down his chopsticks and told the truth.

"If you look like this, he should be able to play 100 at the moment. However, you are growing very fast now and he has basically stagnated. I think you will be able to compete with him in another 4 or 5 years of accumulation.

"I'm telling the truth. I have a fighting style and a lot of restraint. Yes, he is an illusion. Other ninjutsu are ineffective on me, and they won't do much harm to me. I am 10% sure that I can kill him."

Sasuke looked at Menma in astonishment. He did not doubt the authenticity of Menma's words. The root cause was his intelligence gathering ability. Menma had eyesight. He knew yes, but he could not accept that he was so weak.

Sasuke's eyes widened as he clenched his fists.

Sitting next to him, Naruto suddenly slapped his shoulder hard and shouted.

"Sasuke's almost there, it doesn't matter. We are still young and have time to catch up. If your efforts now are not enough, then try to double or triple your efforts. You can always do it!"

After hearing what Naruto said, Sasuke came back to his senses with a determined expression on his face. It is indeed impossible for him to catch up with Itachi now, but with him there is hope for the future!

Menma, who had stopped using his chopsticks, watched the two interact with each other in amusement. He remembered the fight between Itachi and Sasuke in the original novel. Even if Itachi fights, the most cautious one is that it is a battle. I am afraid that it will not happen. He accidentally killed Sasuke. Sasuke probably didn't realize until later how ridiculous it was that Magatama defeated Mangekyou.

So he had no doubt that the battle between their brothers would be the final result, but he was in the organization, so a person who wanted to kill Itachi didn't know whose life itachi would end up with.

Alas, you have to queue up to kill a weasel these days.

After the three of them were in constant conversation, Nian and Yujing said goodbye to Uncle Ichiraku, the three of them left in front of the store and went in different directions.

Menma looked at the backs of the two young men and sighed in his heart, maybe it will finally be leisurely in the near future.

His figure who turned into the darkness disappeared in a flash.

……

Conference room in the Country of Waves

A long table was filled with members of the Yao organization and dignitaries of the Daming government on both sides. They all wore white high-collared waist-style robes with slightly wider cuffs. The lining is of the same color and has a folded collar at the front, similar to the Arrancar uniform in Bleach. The difference is that there are clothes with golden piping.

This hemp-covered design is the official ape uniform of the Land of Waves, which is divided into different levels——

The highest-ranking officials, including Yao Yao and ministers of the Daming Prefecture, can wear white clothes trimmed with gold thread. The jounin wears white clothes with purple stripes, the chunin wears white clothes with blue stripes, and the genin wears white clothes with black stripes.

The collar of the outer robe is tattooed with crosses "!" and "?" symbols, which symbolize strength and knowledge respectively. This country of waves is currently a national standard, which is considered to be a national standard, and it defines the future direction of the country of waves.

In his previous life, Menma liked to wear plain white T-shirts and shirts. He believed that white can best show that a man is handsome, so he chose the base color of the uniform of Wave Country as white. The white robe adds a touch of elegance. More importantly, wearing white is very suitable for everyone to move in the mist world.

Menma, who was sitting at the head of the long table, glanced at everyone's eyes and spoke passionately.

"Your plans for the Kingdom of Water are officially launched."
