When winter comes, the lush scenery of Konoha Village finally changes its color. After a heavy snowfall, standing on a high place, the large village is completely white. The villagers put on thick winter clothes, and the students of the Ninja School They were all wrapped up like rubber balls, making noisy noises on campus early in the morning, venting their exuberant energy that seemed never to be exhausted.

However, Naruto Uzumaki, who was always the most active, did not join the noisy crowd today.

He was sitting in the last row of the classroom, lying on the table in a daze, his eyes looking wide open, but everyone could see that he was distracted. This made Uchiha Touka, who had just walked into the classroom, He couldn't help but wonder if something big happened at the ninja school during the two days he took leave.

"Naruto, did you suffer from diarrhea after eating expired ramen again?"

Uchiha Touka sat down on the empty seat in the row in front of Naruto. She threw her schoolbag on the table and looked back curiously at Naruto who was a little listless. It was common for Naruto to have a bad stomach because he lived alone. Naruto's staple food is all kinds of ramen. Even if it is expired, he will not throw it away and eat it without fail.

Once or twice, the strong bloodline of the Uzumaki clan can survive, but Naruto's unbalanced diet is a long-term problem. Naruto, who often eats expired or near-expired ramen, often has to take leave from class due to diarrhea. , it can be said that this is a well-known thing.

"Tenghua, are you back?"

Naruto came to his senses and shouted excitedly.

"Keep your voice down, it hurts my ears to scream so loudly." Uchiha Touka hit Naruto's forehead with a precise stroke of his sword, causing the Nine-Tails Jinchuuriki who wanted to jump up to sit back down. Next to Naruto, a shy girl with pure white eyes like a little rabbit looked enviously at Uchiha Touka, who was familiar with Naruto.

However, neither Naruto nor Uchiha Touka noticed this Cinderella who was not at all conspicuous in the class.

"Oh! I know." Naruto giggled and lowered his voice, "Tenghua, is your cold gone?"

"It's fine now. It's just a little cold. If grandpa hadn't made a fuss about it, I would have gone back to class yesterday, and ended up sleeping at home for another day. I was almost bored to death!" Uchiha Touka muttered and complained about grandpa's treatment of herself. Excessive pampering, it was obviously just a small cold, but it ended up taking three whole days off.

For three days, I was bedridden. Because of the cold weather, I couldn't even go for a walk in the yard. When Kurama Yakumo came to visit me, he just stayed and gave me gifts, sat there for a while and then left. There was nothing I could do about it. Kurama Yakumo's body was still weak. I'm a little weak and don't dare to come into contact with patients. It will be very troublesome when the illness is over.

"Hey, don't change the subject! Why were you in a daze just now? You were listless."

Uchiha Touka asked.

"Well...how should I say..." Naruto scratched his face in distress. He looked at the classmates in the classroom. Most of the girls, including Haruno Sakura and Yamanaka Ino, were Surrounded by Uchiha Sasuke, who was sitting in the second row by the window, Akimichi Choji was eating, Nara Shikamaru was sleeping on the table, and Inuzuka Kiba was feeding the dog. Everyone was busy with their own affairs. I pay personal attention to them sitting in the back row.

"Last night, Hokage-sama came to my house."

Naruto lowered his voice and whispered.

"...Hokage-sama?" Uchiha Touka's eyes widened in an instant, and countless questions emerged in his mind.

"Well, Hokage-sama came to my house last night and told me something."

"what?"

"Hokage-sama told me that he would send me to a special place to practice. I may have to leave the village."

No wonder!

Uchiha Touka suddenly realized that as Naruto's only friend, well, although she treated Naruto as a younger brother at first, that was not important. It was all in the past. There was no need to think too much about it. What was important was the body. As a friend, she knew how much Naruto liked Konoha, even though Naruto didn't feel much warmth in the village, but was forced to face the surging malice since he was a child.

She didn't know these things originally,

However, during the journey to the Kingdom of Water, she learned about Naruto's complicated life experience and ups and downs from Naruto's mouth, his brother's words, and the obscure explanations from Brother Shisui and others. Including the fact that Naruto was the Nine-Tailed Jinchuuriki, she also knew it. That was also the first time she understood what the Jinchuuriki meant.

same,

Naruto also understood why he was called the Demon Fox by everyone in the village.

There is really a demon fox in his body, and it was sealed in his body by his father himself... This was not what Munesuru told him, but what the Fifth Hokage told him, and he tried to hide these individuals. The past events thus firmly controlled Naruto, the Nine-Tailed Jinchuuriki, in his own hands, unlike the Sandaime Hokage.

The Fifth Hokage's desire for control is not that strong!

As Hokage, of course he hopes to make the Nine-Tails Jinchuuriki become his loyal supporter, but he is old after all, and it is not like Sarutobi Hiruzen has been in power for decades, and his power has already It became the blood of Hiruzen Sarutobi. Even breathing was so painful when he had no power!

The autumn wind is different,

He didn't want to control the Nine-Tails Jinchuuriki by first pushing the opponent into the water and then transforming into a hero to lend a helping hand. In other words, he couldn't do that now. Jiraiya was watching!So Akimichi Tifeng tried to communicate with Naruto by exchanging sincerity for sincerity.

If such a method is used against an adult, it may be difficult to have any effect. However, Naruto is just a child. Even though he is very smart, it cannot change the fact that he has very little experience. Moreover, Akimichi Torifu also discovered during his observation Naruto's kind nature.

For this kind of person, instead of playing tricks, maybe frank communication will be more effective!

Anyway,

Naruto now knows a lot of things, and has a lot of troubles because of it.

"When? Are you leaving soon?"

"Hokage-sama said that the time is not yet certain, but if everything goes well, I will take a break from school probably early next year." Naruto said with a complicated mood. He was a little resistant to the option of taking a break from school and leaving the village.

Finally made friends in the ninja school, Touka, Sasuke, Kiba, Choji... After the Fifth Hokage came to power, the number of people who called him Demon Fox gradually decreased, and his friends were slowly increasing. !

"Early next year..."

It's already winter, and there really isn't long until the beginning of next year.

"Don't worry too much. Didn't Lord Hokage tell you that everything goes well? That means we're not sure yet!" To be honest, the girl with a lively personality didn't really understand Naruto's melancholy, but her Kindness still made her choose to express comfort.

"Even if you really leave school by then, I will find a way to visit you. As long as you ask my brother, there will always be a way."

"Brother Zongxian?"

Naruto regained some of his energy, and he had no doubts about Brother Zongxian's abilities.

If it were Brother Zongxian, maybe he could really do it!

"Speaking of which, when will Brother Zongxian come back?" Naruto asked.

When this incident was mentioned, the originally energetic girl suddenly became depressed and muttered: "I don't know, I wrote and asked many times, but my brother replied every time and said he would go home when the war is over. It’s obvious that the Cloud Ninjas were defeated, but they haven’t come back until now.”

"Maybe there's something else we don't know about!"

"Who knows, I think I'm still thinking about my brother. He might not come back until next year."

The chat between the two came to an abrupt end. The bell rang for class. The teacher holding the lesson plan opened the door and walked in. It's time for class!

----

When the students of the ninja school began to study, the mind of the Konoha Village in the Hokage Building was running at full speed, constantly receiving information, and then feeding back instructions and orders, allowing the behemoth of the Konoha Village to sleep overnight. later became active again.

"Hokage-sama, how was your harvest last night?"

Nara Shikaku, who came to the Hokage's office, asked.

"There is a bit of resistance. I am very attached to the village and don't want to leave, which is a good thing!" Akimichi Torifu sat behind his desk, looking at the documents in his hand while talking to Nara Shikaku.

"Do you have feelings for the village? It's indeed a good thing."

Nara Shikaku's brows relaxed slightly. The Nine-Tails Jinchuuriki did not lose control and run away because he knew what happened in the past. Instead, he was still attached to the village. This is of course good news, which means that he can continue to work in the village. Uzumaki Naruto increased his training efforts to truly cultivate him.

"But to be on the safe side, it is best to evaluate the Nine-Tails Jinchuuriki's mental state once every six months, no, every three months."

"It depends on the situation at that time! Jiraiya may not agree to do this. Let's not talk about it. Shikaku, what's the new news today?" Akimichi Tifeng didn't want to say more about Naruto. About sending Naruto off The matter of going to Turtle Island to practice is still just a draft, and the final decision can only be made after Jiraiya returns.

have to say,

He, the Fifth Hokage, does not have the authority of the Third Hokage.

"The latest intelligence received from the Kingdom of Yu at around six o'clock this morning has just been decrypted. The intelligence stated that four days ago, the Kumo ninja caught up with the Iwa ninja who was preparing to evacuate near a port in the Kingdom of Thunder, and broke out. There was a fierce battle. The third generation Tsuchikage and the five-tailed jinchuriki of the Iwa ninja side all participated in the battle, while the fourth generation Raikage, eight-tailed jinchuriki and two-tailed jinchuriki of the cloud ninja side also all went into battle. The two sides fought for a day and a night, and there was no determination. The clear victory ended with the Iwa ninja retreating, while the Kumo ninja was unable to pursue them because most of their warships were destroyed."

While reporting,

The decrypted intelligence document was delivered to Akimichi Torifu by Nara Shikaku.

"Both the Kumo ninja and the Iwa ninja were seriously injured in this battle. The total number of ninjas killed on both sides may be close to 5000. According to the judgment of the Hokage Assistant, there is a high probability that the Kumo ninja and the Iwa ninja will not go south again in the next ten years. Strength and courage.”

"It's finally over!"

Qiudao Qifeng sighed deeply.

He was not like Hiruzen Sarutobi, who did not hesitate to cut his flesh to feed thieves in order to avoid the outbreak of war, but he also disliked war, especially after sitting on the throne of Hokage and watching the huge amount of money and food being thrown into the bottomless pit of war every day. Among them, even if the Konoha family has great achievements, those who should feel distressed will still feel distressed.

Fortunately, Uchiha Sogenu successfully defeated the Kumo ninja, and severely cut the flesh and blood from the Kumo ninja's body, restoring a wave of vitality to the village. At the same time, he also gained a person who would make people choke from ear to ear just thinking about it. A rare treasure, he had never thought of such a wonderful treasure as Turtle Island before.

He can actually help the Jinchuriki try to transform into a perfect Jinchuriki!

Incredible!

"Sogen-kun didn't say when he would come back!" Akimichi Tifeng turned over the information in his hand three times. Putting aside the useless formatting terms, the content of the article mainly described the battle between Kumo Ninja and Iwa Ninja. , not even a single sentence mentioned when he planned to lead his army back to Konoha.

"It should be soon this time. Now that the Kumo ninja and Iwa ninja have settled down, I think it won't be long before the Hokage assists you and you will be back."

Nara Shikaku guessed.

He was not sure when Uchiha Sogenuo would return, but now that the fighting on the front line had completely subsided, it was almost time to withdraw the troops and return to Konoha. He had previously said that he had been stationed in Yu no Kuni to prevent Kumo Ninja from killing a carbine. Monitoring the Kumo ninja to the north.

But now there is no need to keep a large army stationed. Just let the fully replenished border garrison troops be responsible for the corresponding work.

"Really? Let's hope so!"

Qiu Daocheng responded vaguely.

For Uchiha Sozuru, the Hokage assistant appointed by him personally, his mood is quite complicated. It is influenced by the teachings of the second generation Hokage in the past, the experience and lessons of the defeat of Sarutobi Hiruzen and Shimura Danzo, and also The substantial challenges brought about by the growing Uchiha clan.

Although the Uchiha clan lost a lot of people in the war this time, the overall strength of the Uchiha clan has not declined much. It is better to say that after Uchiha Fugaku exposed Susanoo, he became more popular in Akimichi Torifu's mind. On one level, the Uchiha clan has three pairs of Mangekyō Sharingan.

This power,

It's really so strong that it makes people feel uncomfortable.

But he still can't do anything. He has no means to restrain the Uchiha clan that is so tyrannical. Maybe even if the second generation Hokage is resurrected, there will probably be nothing that can be done to the current Uchiha!

He could only pray that Uchiha Munesuru would be more patient, and that Uchiha Munesuru would not become like Uchiha Madara in the future... Of course, this was not entirely a bad thing, after all, he had not forgotten that Uchiha Madara might still be there. Living, hiding in the dark, and not knowing what conspiracy is being carried out. From this point of view, the strength of the Uchiha clan is not necessarily a bad thing!
