When Naruto and Sasuke walked out of the third outdoor survival training ground step by step, the special training time that had been isolated from the world for more than a year made the two who returned to reality feel a little bit unrealistic. After seeing the dim street lights that seemed so ordinary in the past that they had dispelled darkness for the streets, they all felt the illusion that they felt like they were different.

Just like the inmates who have lived alone on a deserted island for many years suddenly returned to civilized society, although the familiar scenes in front of them are not much different from the impressions they remembered a year ago, it is inevitable that Naruto and Sasuke, who have been used to drilling wood to make fire and camping in the open this year, feel unspeakable unaccustomed.

"Huh, we're out... Hehe, I've become so strong this year! I'll be able to give my brother and the others a big surprise after I get home!"

The advantage of a child's mentality is that he is easy to forget his worries. In addition to being stunned for a moment because he was sure that he really walked out of the third outdoor survival training ground, Sasuke is more likely to digest the discomfort caused by a moment of not getting used to it than Naruto. He raised his flesh and wailed his lips and yawned, turned his head and gently pushed Naruto with his elbow, who was still a little slow to react, grinning and spreading his arms and constantly gestured.

"I never thought that this third wild survival training ground is really big... I haven't met anyone except the three of us in the whole year, which made me mistakenly think that we have left the village several times!"

"...Ahhh, I was also talking about it... I was also shocked. When I first chose to practice here, I didn't know that the training ground was that big!"

After being stimulated by the slight stimulation of the little fan, Naruto finally woke up and came to his senses completely. When he heard Sasuke's question, he instinctively responded in a vague way. During this year's special training, the god's perception of the god had not yet actively expanded his strength and accidentally felt the faint breath hidden nearby but was invincible. Therefore, he quickly imagined the reason why he could not meet anyone during this special training that lasted more than a year.

"I knew... No. 3 outdoor survival training ground is very big and rarely crowded, it is still limited. As a result, during the special training period, even Uchiha Itachi, who was inadequate in the late stage of the brother-in-law, could 'tolerate' the desire to visit his younger brother for a year and never show up. This is not normal? Now it seems that it is true that Grandpa Jiraiya had deliberately arranged personnel to guard nearby at the beginning of the special training to help isolate all interference factors so that we can concentrate on the special training."

Of course, as Sasuke, who also received the special training and practice of Jiraiya, one of the three ninjas, the perception of the small round fan has naturally made great progress like a leap. If you pay attention, you can also sense the hidden guards around you like Naruto... But on the one hand, Sasuke's anxious and excited thoughts were all focused on how to reunite with his parents and brothers after returning home. Secondly, even if Sasuke noticed the existence of these hidden people, the child's mind would only make him mistakenly think that he was a villager who had not yet returned home and was still working [well... In a sense, this statement is nothing wrong] and he ignored it and did not take it into his heart.

Although Sasuke narrowed the gap in strength between himself and Naruto during a year's special training - of course, without calculating hidden trump cards such as Naruto's tailed beast transformation and Thunder God Technique - a lot, the gap in mind still takes time to accumulate experience to slowly shorten it. Just like when two people have gunpowder at the same time, Sasuke will now make it into dazzling fireworks and firecrackers to play, while Naruto will choose to make a bomb that is enough to hurt people... And this is the best example of showing the gap between maturity and immatureness.

"Hmm? What are you standing there again and muttering? Don't stand silly Naruto, we can really go home now! I can't wait to go home immediately, take a comfortable hot bath and then jump into the soft bed at home to have a nice sleep!"

No matter how patient, Sasuke is now just a child with an immature mind. As the first time he has been separated from his family for a year in his life, it is extremely rare to be able to endure the longing and return home and devote himself to the special training. Now, after confirming that he can finally go home, the anxiety and impatience accumulated in his heart during the year suddenly exploded. After seeing Naruto beside him, he murmured to himself thoughtfully as if he hadn't thought about going home for a while, he naturally became more anxious, and his tone could not help but increase a little. However, he then remembered something as slowed down because of the plan to go home mentioned in his mouth, and frowned slightly and asked curiously.

"Oh, right! Naruto, are you weird?... I'm obviously sleeping on that hard stone bed every day during special training, I always make me feel uncomfortable all over the next day. Now I finally came out of that ghost place. Instead, I began to miss the days when I practiced and lived with the old man here."

Unlike Naruto, who cheated on cheating with past life memories, Sasuke, in addition to knowing Jiraiya's name during this year, he had never carefully understood the name of Konoha's senior combat power members. He naturally did not know the name of Konoha's Sannin, and it was even more impossible to know what the Mikiyama Toad Immortal used by Jiraiya, who simply regarded him as a strange uncle with knowledgeable and experienced but extremely lustful.

"Of course you miss it. Grandpa Jiraiya is the master who taught my dad - the idol hero of the fourth generation of Hokage in your mind. In a sense, after this year's special training, you are like me, and you are already in the same generation as my dad and call each other as brothers."

After seeing the cute look of a little ball beside him puffing his cheeks and pouting with a puzzled look, Naruto tried to hold back his smile and complained in his heart, while reaching out and banging straight and gently flicking the man's forehead. He paused and restrained his smile to avoid the little guy in front of him from seeing something wrong, and pretended to be serious and lengthened tone and joking.

"Oh? I don't want to bear it... That's easy. Grandpa Jiraiya must have not gone far yet. Let's go back to find him now and then train for a year and a half. How about it?"

"...Ahem, what did you say? Naruto? I can't bear to let go of anything? Did I say something just now? Is there? Is there? Is there no? Is there no?"

In a year, not only did Sasuke's strength make great progress, but the never-stop quarrel between Naruto and Sasuke also fully trained the little guy's ability to adapt to changes. When he heard Naruto's joke, he pursed his lips while deliberately turning his head slightly and blinking his big black eyes, making an innocent look and denied it lightly.

Well, to put it simply, the simple and cute little fan a year ago gradually learned to pretend to be stupid, and under the influence of Naruto's continuous influence, it began to be "bad".

"Haha, you, you learned very quickly in this regard. Unfortunately, I have a certificate here... lie down!"

Naruto had long been accustomed to Sasuke's transformation. When he responded with a gentle voice, he was about to take out the recording device that was not turned on from his pocket, which was fake. He continued to tease and scare the small ball fan, but his face changed because of the sudden disappearance of the life force of the guards hiding in the dark. Then his pupils suddenly contracted due to the cold murderous intent that moved behind the small ball fan. Without having time to think about it, his body rushed forward under the instinct. When he shouted, he pushed the confused small ball fan to the ground.

"hiss--"

Almost at the moment when Naruto completed this action, a long, smooth and cold-feeling object barely brushed over Naruto's head and fell behind him. When Naruto didn't have time to explain to the pain and aggrieved little fan, he turned his head and looked carefully. Finally, he saw the true face of Hongxin after the attack, but he also felt his whole body trembling slightly like falling from the ice cave, and he couldn't help but swear in front of the small fan.

"This is...snake...? Fuck! Orochimaru?!"
