“Ruosenian——!”

"boom--!"

In the lush forest, Naruto's whistle, and the roar that seemed to be explosively followed, causing the rock wall facing Naruto to fall apart under the power of Rasengan, and the dust in the sky was stirred up. Then, due to the complete explosion of Rasengan's power, the inevitable huge impact force brought by Naruto's feet, and the ground trampled under Naruto's feet began to tremble significantly.

At this moment, it had been six days since Naruto and Dazner had a conversation.

According to the memories described by Dazner, Naruto had already gained some insight into why there were changes in this wave of country incident, and he gradually understood the current situation and felt a little relieved. So much so that after he trained and relived the joint attack strategy between himself and Sasuke. According to the development of the original plot, he knew that the new round of offensives that would not kill a group of people should not take long before Naruto, who would attack again, said hello to the small ball fan and took action separately.

"Tsk... Sure enough, if you don't add changes in nature and increase the output of chakra... Is it already the limit to be able to achieve this level by relying solely on the power of the spireball itself?"

However, facing such a shocking momentum, Naruto, as the initiator, not only did not feel a trace of pride, but instead frowned secretly. Then he shook his right hand, which had become sore and itchy due to long-term refining and condensed chakra. While gasping for a long time, muttered to himself, he simply relaxed his strength and lay on the soft grass with such a big word.

"Well, forget it. After all, the ninjutsu of Rasengwan is just a semi-finished move developed by my father to add to his own chakra nature. It is already a pretty good performance to cause such a level of damage based on this level of chakra consumption... At least, if the power of Rasengwan can be hit on the enemy without reservation, it should be more than enough to deal with opponents at the Shangnin and Quasi-Shadow level!"

Fortunately, whether to break through the limit of the Rasengan Wan has already mastered the skills of the Rasengan Wan in recent years. In addition, during the practice of Miaomu Mountain, Naruto, who has developed advanced moves, is not an irreplaceable top priority. So much so that Naruto was originally flat and smooth in front of him during this day and night, he had already dug out a deep cave wall under Naruto's continuous bombardment and continuously used Rasengan Wan. In addition to the possibility of further growth of Rasengan Wan, which was tested as a semi-finished move, was more important than preparing a suitable activity place in advance for the agreement made by himself and Dazner!

Of course, it is not known whether it is because of the bad luck or the unique geographical characteristics of the Wave Country that Naruto selected the huge rock wall far exceeds Naruto's expectations. In turn, the speed of the process of forcing the opening of the cave with the power of the ordinary version of Rasengaran also slowed down a lot.

"Huh... Although it took a lot more time than expected... but now it seems that I can barely catch up."

Thinking of this, Naruto's unhappiness suddenly became more and more intense. He took several deep breaths before slowly calming down. Then he slowly closed his eyes and closed his eyes slightly to calm down. While he seemed to remember something, he secretly said to himself in his heart.

"After a little rest, start setting up seal restrictions... Before that guy comes to 'receive' himself, he must ensure that those precious 'goods' cannot escape from it."

Unfortunately, it was not known that it was the high-intensity work day and night that both Naruto's physical and mental health were overdrawn. Or was it because of other factors in the dark that Naruto, who had made up his mind and just glanced for a moment, was in the warm sunshine that was sprinkled in the early morning and the refreshing and fragrant meadow under him, which gradually relaxed completely in this peaceful and peaceful atmosphere. Then, without even being able to notice it, accompanied by the faint snoring sounds, he fell asleep without any warning.

...

"Nah? Wake up? Wake up, little brother... If you sleep here, you will easily catch a cold."

"Ha? Are you wrong? I'll call me up so quickly... I'm so tired now, so let me sleep for a while!"

Just as Naruto relaxed for a long time, he was deeply immersed in the sweet dreamland. After no matter how long it took, a crisp and pleasant female voice like a silver bell gradually awakened Naruto's unprepared consciousness to the real world. Then, while Naruto was mumbling something slightly dissatisfied, his eyelids trembled slightly, and he slowly opened it reluctantly.

"Uh... I'm calling me, is it time for lunch...ah?"

It was also at this moment that Naruto was surprised to find that there was a beautiful young lady next to him in a pink kimono with a gentle smile on her face. Then he realized that the person who had just called to wake him up was probably the strange girl in front of him who had never met before.

"Uh...ah...ah...no...sorry, I was confused just now and thought it was my companion calling me..."

It was precisely because of this that Naruto, who had completely awakened his consciousness in an instant, quickly sat up with a carp. Then he raised his arms and wiped the saliva flowing from the corner of his mouth involuntarily. While he seemed to remember something later, he deliberately used the tender voice that suited his age appearance and responded with a slight voice.

"Oh, then again... Big sister, who are you?"

...

Perhaps it was because he had just woken up, which made Naruto's mind and thoughts slow down half a beat in a daze. Or maybe he could not notice a slight malice from the person in front of him. Although Naruto asked back, he surprisingly did not have any thoughts of being alert or being wary of the little girl in front of him.

It is precisely because of this that the rhetorical question was more like a casual statement. So much so that Naruto didn't care too much about whether he could directly obtain the information he needed from the mouth of the person in front of him. The two of them quickly got familiar with each other with each other. Then, from the young lady in front of him, they learned that the other party came to this forest specifically to pick the herbs needed for the relatives who were seriously ill in bed at home. Even though he was leisurely and leisurely, under the influence and teaching of Tsunade, his knowledge of herb identification and use can be called the master Naruto. He was immediately driven by this gradually accumulated favorability and helped pick and draft medicines.

"Yoduo... I picked such a full basket, it should be enough, right?"

The last herb that was left in the eyes was carefully picked and put into the basket in front of me that had already become full of nothingness from the initial state of emptiness. Then, while sitting cross-legged, gently patting the dust and dew stained on my hands, and resting for a while. While looking at the young lady whose smile became more and more vigorous because she had found enough herbs. Then, she looked at the corners of her mouth raised and continued casually.

"After that... you have to come and pick herbs so early in the morning. You have to work hard enough!"

"Well, enough, thank you, little brother... I've really helped me with you."

As soon as Naruto finished speaking, the little girl with a beautiful face reached out and carefully smoothed and compacted the herb basket full of herbs to avoid accidentally leaking some herbs during the subsequent transportation process. She smiled with a bent eyes and responded to Naruto's words in a gentle manner.

"And, thank you for your hard work... aren't you the same? You're so tired that you're sleeping here. What are you doing?"

"Hehe, that's right... Of course, I'm practicing here to become stronger!"

"Do you practice..."

However, while Naruto's answer without hesitation, the look in the girl's eyes was extremely difficult to detect. Then, in the whisper that deliberately pretended to be thinking, it perfectly concealed it, and the gentle smile on her face became more and more vigorous. While slowly stopping her eyes on the ninja guard wearing Naruto's forehead, engraved with the Konoha Ninja Village logo, was wearing Naruto's forehead. While continuing to ask in a puzzled tone, he asked knowingly.

"So that's it. No wonder you wear your forehead guard on your head... If you look like this, are you a ninja?"

"Hehe, that's of course! Although I'm young, I'm already a real ninja!"

When facing the girl's inquiry, Naruto, who should have been good at observing words and expressions, seemed to have not noticed something was wrong at all. While raising his hand proudly, he pointed to his little face lightly. He responded without hesitation in that tone full of showy.

"Nah, how about it, how about it? Do you look so handsome when wearing this forehead?!"

"Ah? Well... he's pretty handsome..."

Seeing Naruto's confident childish look as if he was seeking praise, the little girl was stunned and almost laughed out loud. Then she responded with a warm voice, satisfying Naruto's vanity, as if she was just a polite person for flattery, but also as if she was sincerely confused, she frowned slightly and asked again word by word.

"But you seem to be very strong? Why do you still have to practice so hard?"

"Ha? No, no, this level is not enough--!"

Naruto, who seemed to be proud of the little girl's flattering words, waved his hands and refuted them all. Then, under the surprised eyes of the person in front of him, he put his hands on his waist, as if he was responding to the questions in front of him, and as if he was talking to himself, he continued to speak solemnly.

"I have important people who want to protect... So, for them, I must become stronger, strong enough to become a man who stands tall, so that they will never be hurt!"

"Is that true? So that's it...no wonder, you... look so strong."

Naruto's words obviously touched the soft and precious memories that the girl hid in her heart. Even though she looked at Naruto, her eyes became softer and more friendly, she gave up her plan to continue testing. Then she stood up with her herb basket, and responded in a warm voice as if she was giving advice.

"People will become stronger when they are determined to protect someone... So, little brother, continue to maintain your determination. As long as you persist, you will definitely become stronger and stronger."

"Oh? Sister, are you leaving so soon?"

From the unconcealed movements of the person in front of him, Naruto knew that the time for the time to part with him had quietly arrived. Introducing the speech paused a little, and patted his little chest hard. While standing up from the ground, he was about to watch the person in front of him leave. While smiling, he gave the person in front of him a positive answer with a sonorous tone.

"Ah, don't worry, sister... I have known this principle for a long time, and I have made up my mind and will never forget it!"

"Is that right... that's good. In this way, your strength will definitely continue to increase... Then, there will be a period of time later, little brother."

After hearing Naruto's words, the expression on the face of the girl who had turned her back to Naruto was complicated because she didn't know whether to feel relieved for Naruto or whether she would face such a strong opponent in the future. Then she paused slightly, trying to calm down a little, and then she seemed to suddenly remember something. While walking forward without looking back, she rushed to Naruto who was smiling behind her, adding this sentence in a strange tone.

"Ah, by the way, there is another thing... Actually, I... am not a girl."

"Oh, I thought it was something. It turns out that my sister is not a girl...ah?"

And for Naruto who had heard it at first, he obviously didn't have time to realize it. So he repeated the words of the person in front of him. After only then, Naruto, who had discovered something after realizing it, suddenly felt as if he had received a huge impact, and his whole expression became dumbfounded. Driven by the instinct of complaints in his heart, he hugged his head with both hands and exclaimed in disbelief.

"Well... um?! Wait... wait a moment? It seems something is wrong?!"

"Such a cute little lady, Ju...is actually a boy?!"

"This...this...this...this is possible-?!"

Happy New Year, everyone

In the new year, I wish you all the best, peace and peace every year!
