"Is this clone really reliable?"
Naruto touched his forehead, 'I hope the plan goes well.'
Then it took a while to deal with the traces of the on-site battle.
As for the remnants of Chakra, Naruto, who had learned his lesson, used tenseigan to completely eliminate it little by little, in case Aburame Matsuyama found something wrong when he woke up the next day.
...
Early the next morning.
The three root ninjas squatting on different trees like wood carvings suddenly returned to consciousness.
Neko: "It's dawn, today's mission is over."
Tot: "We went back and changed shifts with the captain and the others."
Nakatani(Clone): "The wind is calm and the sea is calm, and the years are quiet and good."
"..."
Neko and Tot looked at Nakatani strangely.
...
The other side.
Yamanaka Harada woke up suddenly from his sleep, took out the kunai, and looked around vigilantly.
"What's wrong? Have a nightmare?"
Nara Kashima sat beside the relit fire, burning hot water, looking at Yamanaka Harada strangely.
"Ah, it seems so."
Yamanaka Harada put away the Kunai, shook his head and walked over.
He seemed to have dreamed about the Uchiha clan just now. In the dream, he saw a pair of scarlet Sharingan from Uchiha clansmen staring at him full of hatred.
"What's going on with me? Could it be that I was frightened by the masked man who invaded the roots?"
That day, he stood with a group of root ninjas and watched the masked man leave with fear in front of Danzo.
However, he did not participate in the follow-up mission to the Land of Rain, but was sent here and left the village with Nine Tails Jinchūriki.
In contrast, this monitoring task was the easiest.
"Where's Matsuyama?"
"On lookout."
...
Naruto returned to Tazuna's residence before dawn, taking advantage of the time when the clone came out to go to the toilet, they exchanged with each other without attracting any attention.
As for Kakashi, although he maintained vigilant attention, he would not pay too much attention to his students getting up to go to the bathroom.
What's more, he himself had to seize the time to recover his body.
Sharingan's burden was heavy.
In the morning, Sasuke and Sakura continued to go out to train. Sakura was not very skilled in water treading and needed to continue to practice.
With Naruto's teaching this time, Sasuke should be able to master the tree climbing skills soon.
only…
"Why is he walking up the tree? Can't he walk down?"
Naruto asked strangely.
"Isn't it because you peed in the woods yesterday and he didn't want to step on it?"
Kakashi stared at Naruto with deadpan eyes, watching Naruto with complaints.
"You are not young, you should pay attention to the impact."
"..."
f**k, when did I pee outside?
Wait...that idiot clone!
Naruto had black lines all over his face.
"This is for you, if you have any questions, feel free to ask me."
Kakashi handed Naruto a ninjutsu scroll he took the time to write last night about Raikiri.
Moreover, Kakashi at this time had already figured out the series of questions Naruto had yesterday.
"If you want to change the village, work hard, I hope you can become Hokage."
Kakashi had great expectations for Naruto.
Uchiha Itachi, Even when he was very young, he was able to look at things with Hokage's thinking and guard the village from the perspective of Hokage.
And Naruto, the son of the Fourth Hokage, had an unusual identity, and as a Nine Tails Jinchūriki, if he could fully grasp the power of the tail beast, then becoming a Hokage was nothing more than a normal thing.
More importantly, Naruto's talent, whether it was physical skills, ninjutsu, or mature thinking, can be said to be the best among the younger generations compared to other ninjas in the village.
"I see, then Kakashi-sensei, you don't mind a younger Hokage?"
Naruto took the scroll and said jokingly.
"Haha, it's better to be young. It can bring more vitality to the village. Just like the Fourth Hokage, he was the youngest Hokage. If you wanted to surpass him, you have to work hard."
Kakashi said with a smile.
"Then I'll try harder then."
Naruto looked at the sea shrouded in white mist in the distance, and nodded.
Speaking of which, it looked like there were people in the sea.
...
"Huh! Finally succeeded."
Sasuke stood upside down on the branch and let out a long breath.
"Naruto was right. I was too anxious yesterday, and I couldn't calm down to notice the subtle changes in Chakra."
"And now, I can feel it carefully. After mastering this trick, my Fire Style ninjutsu will become even more powerful than before."
Sasuke nodded contentedly.
"Then, let's practise water treading!!"
Sasuke became confident again and walked towards the sea.
"Naruto's good at pointing people out."
Looking at Sasuke, Kakashi said with relief.
Then he looked at Naruto now as if he was looking at a piece of precious diamond, as if he was an experienced carver.
He believed that he could carve Naruto perfectly!
