Naruto: Start by chopping down a tree and shocking Kurama!

One month later...

Asuma led the team to complete the mission. On the way back, they happened to pass by the Sand Village, so he planned to let the team go to the Sand Village to rest.

By the way, it can also allow Shikamaru to meet his girlfriend.

no way......

He knew very well that Shikamaru disliked trouble.

He always says things like women are the most troublesome.

Asuma thinks that if this child develops normally...

Sooner or later, he will be like the two white-haired guys in the village and be single for the rest of his life.

But who would have thought that during the last Chunin Exam, a girl actually fell in love with this guy.

Asuma could see the emotion in the other's eyes at a glance, but Shikamaru, being a blockhead, didn't show any reaction at all.

He went to great lengths to help his disciples find a partner.

"troublesome!"

"Why don't we just go back to the village?"

Shikamaru walked in the desert, feeling the harsh environment around him, and he would shout every once in a while.

“You always have to take a break!”

"And I haven't been to other villages yet."

Ino couldn't bear to watch it anymore. She just wanted to find a place to stay and take a hot shower.

"I just want to know if there's anything delicious in the Sand Village."

What Shikamasu always cares about is food. During the time he was out, he had used up all the snacks he had with him.

In the past few days, he felt that he had become thinner due to hunger.

"What catches your eyes."

"Isn't it just a village built in the desert?"

He has been reading the Nara clan's collection of books about the ninja world since he was a child.

Although I have never been to the Sand Village, I can say that I know a thing or two about it.

Generally speaking, the village has poor soil and is very poor.

It is good enough for the villagers to survive in such a harsh environment, let alone demanding enough food and clothing.

Its military strength is even weaker than that of other villages.

Shikamaru had no interest in such a place at all.

It would be better to rush back to the village and rest.

“And they don’t eat well…”

"Like scorpions, lizards, and the like."

"And the desert sand can break your skin."

As soon as Shikamaru finished speaking, Choji turned his head and saw an ugly crawling lizard. His stomach instantly churned and he felt like he had lost all his appetite.

Ino touched her cracked skin, her face filled with horror.

No!

If she continues to stay in this kind of place, she won't be able to get married!

Ino and Choji looked at each other and shouted to Asuma in front of them.

"Teacher Asuma!!"

"Let's go back!"

In response to his subordinates' opinions, Asuma did not make any comment. Instead, he took out a crumpled cigarette from his pocket and lit it.

After taking a deep breath, he spoke to the three of them.

"You guys..."

"The life of a ninja is never easy."

"Compared to the ninjas in the Sand Village, we in the Hidden Leaf Village have had a good life."

"Besides...I'm doing this all for you, Shikamaru!"

Asuma first taught a few people a lesson, and then began to lecture Shikamaru.

Finally, he thought of a yellow-haired man in the village and continued speaking.

"Oh, right."

"I heard that Naruto and Master Jiraiya arrived at the Sand Village a month ago."

"Look at them!"

"He can adapt to this harsh environment, so how can you complain about it?"

When Shikamaru heard the name of a certain yellow-haired guy, his face changed instantly.

If he just complained a few words just now...

Now he wants to go back to the village!

Judging from Uzumaki Naruto's past performance...

The Sand Village is doomed! !

"All right....."

"Got it, Asuma-sensei."

Ino and Choji followed Asuma listlessly, not realizing the seriousness of the problem at all.

While Shikamaru was still thinking about countermeasures, Asuma in front of him turned around and urged him, cigarette in his mouth.

"Shikamaru, what are you standing there for?"

"Maybe you'll get something unexpected when you go to the Sand Village."

"Follow up quickly."

Asuma's eyes were ambiguous, and what he said was indeed correct.

After all, as long as Shikamaru handles things well, he will be able to find a wife in the Sand Village.

But now Shikamaru only cares about a certain yellow-haired guy who is causing trouble.

The corner of his eye twitched as he looked at the three people in front of him, sighed deeply, shook his head and followed.

"I hope Naruto won't be too reckless..."

The group walked for most of the day and finally arrived at the outskirts of the Sand Village at night.

The four of them also saw a scene that they would never forget in their lifetime.

The dilapidated village in Asuma's memory no longer existed. Instead, there appeared something like a giant puppet with countless legs.

On the platform, colorful lights disturb the silent night.

The four of them felt that they had never seen so many colorful lights in their lives.

Or the kind that flashes at the same time.

The most important thing is this giant platform, with three big words written on it - New Sand Village.

Asuma opened his mouth and the unfinished cigarette fell to the ground.

"This this......"

"This is the Sand Village!"

Ino and Choji raised their heads, equally shocked. They turned to look at Shikamaru with confusion in their eyes.

“Isn’t that right??”

"Didn't you just say that the Sand Village is very barren?"

"Why does it look like it's even more powerful than Konoha!?"

Shikamaru looked off into the distance, his pupils dilated twice as much.

rough!!

What on earth did Naruto do in the Sand Village?

He covered his face and said helplessly.

"Don't ask me now!"

"I do not know anything!"

Ino rubbed her eyes and still couldn't believe what she saw. She looked at Asuma and said uncertainly.

"Teacher Asuma..."

"Are we in the wrong place?"

These words made Asuma doubt himself, and he took out the map on the spot.

He murmured while flipping through the pages.

“That’s not right…”

“You’ve come to the right place!”

"This is the Sand Village!"

After confirming it several times, Asuma scratched his head, completely unable to understand what had happened in the Sand Village in the past month.

After a long time, Asuma saw that the Sand Village was about to leave, and hurriedly took his team to chase after them.

No matter what happened...

But it would be a good idea to go up and collect some information and bring it back.

They chased for half an hour before they arrived at the foot of the giant puppet.

But it would be more accurate to say that the puppet stopped on its own rather than catching up.

As Shikamaru and the others approached the puppet, they heard some noise.

"waste!!"

"I've asked you to check the parts several times!!"

"Why is it breaking down again?"

"This is the sixth malfunction today!!"

Kankuro pointed at the puppeteer next to him and cursed angrily.

He now looked very different from the big guy he was a month ago.

It’s not that he has lost weight, but this guy is finally not shirtless.

The things I wear weigh dozens of kilograms more than before.

Kankuro wore an eight-eyed helmet on his head, and these bulging eyes emitted a faint red light in the pitch-black environment.

There was a diamond-shaped armor on his chest to cover his body. If it weren't for the eight spider arms behind him, he might not look so strange.

As for the puppeteers of the Sand Village nearby, their styles are slightly more normal.

It's nothing more than an extra puppet head and puppet hands and feet.

The Konoha ninja nearby was petrified instantly when he saw the people from the Sand Village.

There was only one thought in my mind...

Oops! !

When did the illusion happen?!
