Konoha's Itachi Reappearance

♂nbsp; Chapter 599

"Sakura, you are quite popular."

Naruto, who was holding his head with his hands, walked over with a smile.

"To shut up!"

Sakura's eyebrows suddenly stood up. She and Naruto Sasuke had been classmates since the beginning of the ninja school.

At the beginning, everyone in the class would have a special regard for Naruto because of his identity as the son of the Hokage, and Naruto's own grades were also excellent enough.

But from Naruto, I don't feel any arrogance. Instead, he seems a little silly more often, which makes people feel close to him.

Soon most of the class became good friends with Naruto.

Sakura has long regarded Naruto as a friend, and has long put aside his identity as the son of the Hokage during the relationship.

Being suddenly confessed by such a strange person, in front of Sasuke, Sakura didn't feel any pleasure in her heart.

So what Naruto just said was a bit inappropriate.

To be honest, it's quite lacking.

"Uh..."

After Sakura said this, Naruto had the sense and did not continue. He first glanced at Sasuke next to him. The two looked at each other for a moment, and then he turned his eyes to Xiao Li next to him.

Naruto had a kind smile on his face and said, "Hello."

At this time, Xiao Li was frowning his thick eyebrows, looking at Naruto with his eyes, and asked: "Are you also Sakura's suitor?"

Of course, the conversation between Naruto and Sakura just now was seen by Xiao Li, so he thought that Naruto listened to Sakura so much because he liked Sakura.

"No, you misunderstood, we are just partners at the same time." Naruto waved his hands repeatedly. Although Sakura does look quite cute, he and Sakura are just good friends.

After receiving Naruto's response, Xiao Li's attitude immediately changed. He also smiled kindly and said, "I'm sorry, hello, my name is Lee Locke."

"Well, I'm Namikaze Naruto." Naruto responded with a smile.

Xiao Li didn't react at all, but Tenten next to him suddenly widened his eyes, moved closer to Naruto, and said in shock: "Are you the Hokage's son!?"

"Yes, hello."

Naruto replied that he had been used to Tenten's reaction since he was a child, so he had no special reaction.

"Hello."

Tenten responded to Naruto and raised his head. At this time, Naruto's father, the Fourth Hokage Namikaze Minato, was standing on the top of the Hokage Building.

Only then did she notice that Naruto and the Yondaime were indeed very similar.

Their hair color and eye color are almost exactly the same.

It's just that Naruto's appearance took after his mother's. Although he was not as handsome as his father, his facial lines were very soft, which he inherited from Kushina. Naruto, who was almost 13 years old, still had a round face. , a little bit of baby fat.

And his eyes are like the brightest sapphires, so they look very cute.

At this moment, Minato on the top of the Hokage Building also glanced at the nearly a thousand ninjas gathered in front of the Hokage Building.

The ninja team heading to the Iron Country this time has been assembled.

"Assemble everyone!"

In front of a team of nearly a thousand people, a Jounin from Konoha shouted an order.

When Naruto, Xiao Li, Tiantian and others heard this order, their expressions immediately became solemn.

"Li, let's talk next time we meet," Naruto said.

Xiao Li nodded and said, "Okay, Naruto-kun."

He didn't care too much about Naruto's identity as the Hokage's son.

"These two boys... seem so laid-back."

The other Konoha ninjas next to him were a little surprised when they heard this.

Because they are likely to go to the battlefield next. Since half of the nearly a thousand ninjas are still children, most people are full of anxiety and fear of war.

After saying goodbye to Lee, Naruto quickly returned to his group.

Nearly a thousand people lined up in an orderly manner in front of the Hokage Building, and one after another raised their eyes, all looking at the roof of the Hokage Building.

Minato stepped forward slowly, his eyes solemnly scanning the faces that still looked extremely immature one by one.

In the deepest part of his eyes, there was a bit of unbearability.

The purpose of the first Hokage to establish the Konoha Ninja Village was to create a quiet environment so that children would no longer have to embark on cruel battlefields.

However, the age of a ninja can never be judged by age. At this time, these young people in Minato's eyes lacked experience in participating in wars, but they were undoubtedly excellent Konoha ninjas.

Under the gaze of many eyes, Minato said solemnly: "At this moment, as the Hokage, when I see young ninjas like you, I feel both relieved and a little guilty."

"Because the war that our five ninja nations will face next will not be easy to win. Once it fails, the entire world will be destroyed in the hands of the enemy, so each ninja village can no longer maintain its strength. idea.”

"Although most of you are still young, there is no doubt that all of you are no worse than the seniors who left the village before. You are qualified enough to participate in the war and protect your families in the village on the battlefield. And the whole world.”

"Everyone here is an excellent Konoha ninja, so I don't think I need to say anything else."

"Unlike the previous wars, what we will face next is a war for the purpose of protection. There is no retreat for anyone. There is only one thing I hope for now."

"When the war is over, everyone can still stand where they are now and enjoy peace."

Minato's speech was not very impassioned, and he knew that words alone could not change anything in this short period of time.

He just expressed his truest thoughts deep in his heart. As for whether they can cope with the coming war, what really depends on them is the ability of the young people in front of them.

In the war, Minato, as the Hokage and the commander of the coalition forces, could not provide them with 100% guarantee.

"Let's go." He said calmly.

"Yes!"

Directly below, all the Konoha ninjas responded loudly and shouted in unison.

At the front of the team, several Jonin leaders turned and jumped up, and then nearly a thousand ninjas behind them rushed out one after another.

On the top of the Hokage Building, Minato looked at Naruto, who was standing at the end of the line, a new chuunin like Naruto Sasuke.They were all placed at the end of the line.

"Don't worry, Dad!"

Naruto met Minato's eyes and murmured, but his eyes held an extremely firm will.

In the boy's azure eyes, there seemed to be a burning flame. It was a will that was continuously passed down. The name of the will was just like the name of this country.

A flaming will!

Beside Minato, Itachi also lowered his eyes, glanced at Sasuke, and nodded gently at him.

There was no fear of the impending war on Sasuke's face.

A confident smile appeared on his pretty, still somewhat immature face.

Itachi understood the meaning of the look on Sasuke's face.

[Brother, I am your younger brother, so there is nothing to worry about! 】

Swish!

Thousands of ninjas rushed out in the direction of the Hokage Building, and the dark crowd left the village collectively. Even though the civilians in the village had seen such a battle many times during this period, they still felt a little bit... Shocking.

One minute later, nearly a thousand ninjas rushed out of the gate of Konoha.

At the end of the team, Naruto looked sideways at Sasuke, who was at the end of the other teams.

Sasuke seemed to feel something at this time, and the two of them moved in sync and looked at each other.

"When you go to the battlefield, don't be scared to tears by the losers." Naruto said with some provocation, and even though the two sides were separated by a long distance, Sasuke could still hear him.

The two have been getting along like this since they were young, but Sasuke didn't get angry after hearing this this time.

Instead, he just smiled faintly and responded.

"You are the big idiot."

"Don't...don't die!"
