Naruto, the time-traveling Naruto has an incredible understanding!.

Half a month later, Shikamaru and his companions who had gone out on a mission had all returned to the village.

Twelve people gathered together for a simple gathering.

Naruto told the others about his and Sasuke's training plan.

Although everyone was somewhat envious of being able to practice freely, they all knew what they should do most now.

It is to improve gradually according to the practice arranged by the family for them.

Shino's family has arranged for Shino to go to the Worm Valley in Takikuni.

Hinata and Neji obtained the ancient books of the Hyuga clan, which contained things that could only be seen after the Byakugan awakened new eye technique.

These are the ways in which the two of them will practice going forward.

Ino, having also completed her mission as a jonin, has now joined the Intelligence Department, studying with Yamanaka Inoichi.

Sakura followed Tsunade, Rock Lee and Might Guy had a special training plan, Shikamaru was arranged to join the Hokage's assistant team, and Choji was eating at home.

Kiba has no special training plan and plans to take Akamaru to the fairyland to practice.

Tiantian...is studying some special ninja tools.

Everyone has his or her own path of practice.

They also knew the gap between them and Naruto and Sasuke, so they did not ask to leave the village to practice together.

outside the village.

This time, Naruto and Sasuke did not travel through the dense forest, but walked side by side on the main road.

"Where is the destination this time?!"

Sasuke spoke calmly.

“Actually, there is no destination.”

"Just want to come out and walk around."

"How about we go to the Sand Village to find Gaara first?"

Naruto said with a grin.

Sasuke looked at Naruto with some disdain.

"No purpose?"

"Naruto, are you kidding me?"

"Can't you tell me the mission information in advance?!"

Sasuke was speechless but still asked.

"Actually, I'm not sure if I can find that guy if I go there now."

"This, take a look."

Naruto said as he pulled out a scroll and handed it to Sasuke.

"That rascal?"

"Didn't you just say that you were going to look for Gaara?!"

"you……"

"Ok?"

Sasuke said as he read the contents of the scroll.

After reading it, I was a little surprised.

"Actually, I don't know if I can bring it back."

"But...if I can bring it back, maybe..."

Naruto didn't say anything else.

"alright."

“This task is not difficult.”

“The only difficulty lies in the issue of carrying it.”

"Naruto, you...go find Gaara first."

Sasuke didn't continue talking and changed the topic to Gaara.

……

The Country of Wind, Sand Hidden Village.

"Hehe... As long as I can accomplish these, I will become a puppeteer who surpasses everything else!"

"What Chiyo, what Scorpion..."

"They will all become stepping stones on my way forward."

"Next, it's time to find the final source of energy."

A man's cold voice came out.

Around him, there are a large number of puppet limbs.

At this moment, the man was installing some special puppet parts on his body.

"Sir, we have received news that Uchiha Sasuke and Uzumaki Naruto from Konoha will arrive at the Sand Village in two days."

A dark shadow instantly appeared in front of the man and spoke quickly.

"Uzumaki Naruto?"

"Konoha's Nine-Tails Jinchuriki?!"

The man stood up.

There was a look of crazy anticipation on his face.

If it's the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, then it's actually possible!

So, find a chance to get him!

His original plan was to break the seal of the dragon vein, create a puppet that could contain the dragon vein, and become a powerful puppeteer who surpassed everything.

but……

If he could capture the Nine-Tails from Konoha, his plan would go much more smoothly.

It may even reach a level he cannot even imagine!

"Analysis of Uzumaki Naruto's strength has surpassed most Kage-level masters."

"us……"

"I know."

"But if I wasn't prepared, how could I have planned to attack that guy?!"

Baizu interrupted his subordinate, and it seemed that something was surging under his skin.

A special light flashed in his eyes.

……

Two days later.

"Knowing you were coming, I finished all the work I had in two days."

"Why did you suddenly think of coming to the Sand Village?"

Gaara was waiting at the gate of Sand Village early.

After seeing Naruto and Sasuke appear, he rushed out immediately.

Although the separation time was not long.

But... Gaara felt as if he hadn't seen the two of them for a long time.

As expected, I am still used to the training when I am with Naruto and the others.

"Sasuke and I are training!"

Naruto smiled and spoke.

"Yes."

"This is mainly because my strength has increased too quickly. I want to consolidate my strength by traveling around the ninja world."

Sasuke spoke with a proud look on his face.

"Okay, let's go eat something first."

"Let me tell you..."

……

Gaara said as he pulled the two of them into the village.

Before entering the village, Naruto extended his hand and greeted Kankuro and Temari.

"Look at Uzumaki Naruto, then look at your brother!"

"This worthless look is really..."

Temari covered her face, speechless.

Gaara clearly called these two people to come out and pick up Naruto and Sasuke.

As a result, after seeing Naruto and Sasuke, Gaara completely lost his ability to think normally.

They even had some doubts as to whether the work Gaara had completed was really completed.

"Well, I still think it's good that Gaara has changed like this."

"It's okay to be a little stupid."

Kankuro holds the opposite view.

The current Gaara is much cuter than the original Gaara...

After the three of them had a tour around the Sand Village, they came to the sand dunes outside the village together.

At this time, it was already dark.

The stars appeared early in the morning.

……

"Naruto, how long will you stay in the Sand Village?!"

"I may not be able to stay away from work for too long."

"I only took two days off."

Although Gaara really wanted to play with the two of them for a while longer, even if it meant going through the same devilish training as before, it was possible.

but……

At this time, Gaara already knew that the village needed him.

"Two days is enough."

"Gaara, I want to ask you about a person and a place."

Naruto lay down on the soft sand dune.

You can even feel the residual warmth of the sand.

“People and places?”

"You said."

Gaara felt a little strange, but he suppressed his doubts.

"One is the Ninja Centipede, and the other is the Loulan Ruins."

Naruto spoke slowly.

"Centipede?!"

"I've heard of this name, but he doesn't seem to be very powerful."

"As for the ruins of Loulan?"

"what is this?"

Gaara told what he knew.
