Reborn Naruto, I rolled my eyes to the sky

Time flies, and in a blink of an eye I have become a third-grade student.

The third-year curriculum is much richer in comparison. In addition to the basic physical and ninjutsu training, it also involves the learning of skills such as trap making, ninja tool use, stealth tracking, etc.

I won't go into details about our days at the Ninja School, but Shinichi, Minato and I excelled in all subjects and truly occupied the top three in the grade.

On the contrary, during the forest training every afternoon, everyone's progress is obvious to all. Especially when practicing with true geniuses like Minato and Shinichi, one can improve one's actual combat ability to avoid being thrown directly onto the battlefield and being at a loss in the future.

My worries are not groundless. After all, as far as I can remember, the Second Ninja World War happened just in the past two or three years. The war affected many countries and ninja villages, including the Fire Kingdom, Wind Kingdom, Earth Kingdom, Thunder Kingdom, and Rain Kingdom.

Although the intensity of the Second Ninja World War was not as exaggerated as the Fourth World War, a person's life was still very insignificant in it. Tsunade's lover Kato Dan and his younger brother Nawaki both died in this war. Gaara's parents, as the heirs of the Kazekage, were also killed on the battlefield by Konoha's White Fang Hatake Sakumo.

In fact, although I haven't felt anything special in the Ninja School yet, the atmosphere in the entire Ninja world has become tense. The number of missions carried out by the Chunin team led by my father and Ling's father has increased significantly, and the Konoha Guard controlled by the Uchiha clan has also significantly increased their vigilance and patrol frequency.

Even the number of ninja teams passing by the woods where we were training increased significantly. Several teams of enthusiastic ninjas even advised us kids not to go to the forest on the edge of the village, and instead stayed in the ninja school and our own homes to train.

However, the main battlefield of the Second Ninja World War was in the Rain Country at the border of the three major countries, and the River Country at the border of the Wind Country and the Fire Country. There was no danger around Konoha Village.

Those who can reach the Fire Nation or even Konoha Village are spies and scouts from various countries. They usually appear as businessmen or tourists. Their main task is to collect intelligence, and they usually do not undertake combat missions.

As the saying goes, "A skilled person is daring." After several years of practicing the twelve Earthly Branches' fundamental seals, my pupil power, chakra and physical fitness have steadily improved.

At present, each of my individual qualities has reached the level of a Chunin. Although there is no official evaluation of my overall strength, I feel that I should be no weaker than a special Jonin.

In addition to the uninterrupted practice of Hyuga Gentle Fist and the rich practical experience, not to mention the presence of Shinichi and Minato, if there is an enemy who is short-sighted and sees us kids as soft persimmons, he will know what it means that students of Konoha Ninja School should not be messed with.

I put away my scattered thoughts and looked at Ling and Nono. Ever since I helped Qing and Nono last time, Nono, Ling and Kushina have become good friends. However, she needs to help at the barbecue restaurant and cannot practice every day like us regardless of weather conditions.

In my opinion, Nono is very talented in chakra control, but being a civilian ninja limits her growth. Ling, with the help of the Byakugan, is evenly matched with Nono, and she has found some confidence. After all, Ling was indeed inferior to me, Shinichi, Minato and Kushina before.

On the other side, the battle between Minato and Kushina was much more exciting and intense. Minato's strength lies in his extraordinary speed and reaction, as well as his divine combat wisdom. However, simple physical skills and a few low-level ninjutsu were unpredictable in Minato's hands.

And Kushina, relying on the powerful vitality and chakra of the Uzumaki clan, remained unchanged in the face of all changes. She allowed Minato to appear and disappear around her, and she raised a pair of small fists in readiness. Every time Minato's attack was about to fall on her, she would punch out, a style of fighting in which she would exchange injury for injury.

However, this is indeed the correct way to deal with Minato. Without powerful ninjutsu and without using ninja tools, if the two of them exchange attacks, it will definitely be Minato who will not be able to hold on.

Even if a war of attrition were to be fought, Minato, as the attacking party, would suffer more than Kushina, as the defending party. What's more, Kushina's chakra and physical strength were superior to Minato's.

"Sealing technique - Earth Locking Technique." While Minato was retreating to catch his breath, Kushina formed seals with her hands and shouted loudly. The ground under Minato's feet suddenly moved, and it coiled around Minato's legs like a vine, restricting Minato's movement.

"I finally caught you, let's see you fight." Kushina saw that her sealing technique had successfully locked Minato, she laughed loudly, and punched Minato in the chest without mercy.

But Minato turned into a piece of wood with a bang. Kushina was shocked: "Substitution jutsu, when?"

Before Kushina had time to turn around, Minato had already appeared behind Kushina, with an arm on her shoulder: "Thank you, thank you."

Kushina turned around and pushed Minato's arm away angrily: "Damn it, if you have the guts, fight me head-on. You keep jumping around. Are you a rat?"

Minato didn't care and smiled: "Your chakra and physical strength are stronger than mine. If I don't induce you to reveal your flaws, I am no match for you."

He is worthy of being called the little sun and the forever girl by netizens. Although Minato is still young and has no special feelings for Kushina, his warm-hearted nature can no longer be concealed and can be seen.

Sure enough, when Kushina heard what Minato said, her face looked much better. Although she still looked arrogant, she still acknowledged Minato's strength: "You are not bad, your strength is not bad, and you have the potential to be my rival on the road to becoming Hokage."
