Naruto was blocked by three teenagers. One of them pushed Naruto and looked at him with a provocative look on his head.
"Youkai, I heard that you want to be Hokage?" A child slightly taller than Naruto asked him, with a tendency to attack if he disagreed.
At this time, Shikamaru and Choji also walked to the outside of the crowd, and happened to hear the child's question. They thought Naruto would retort and loudly tell them that he was the man who would become Hokage.
Just as the two of them were mentally prepared, they stepped in to help Naruto when the situation became chaotic.
However...Naruto was surprisingly quiet.
The sun shines through the door of the ninja school, creating a yin and yang line under his feet.
Naruto was exposed to the sunlight, and his blond hair seemed to have lost its former vigor, but he was not frightened either. The childishness in his body faded away and was crushed into indifference.
It was as if he had changed into a different person, and everything in the past was like ashes, blown away by the summer breeze.
"Hundan! Are you deaf?"

Another person stepped forward and pushed Naruto, causing him to take a few steps back. The people around him looked on coldly, chatting and laughing among themselves, with no intention of stepping forward to stop him.
"Damn it, those guys!" Ding Ci was so angry that he stepped forward.
Shikamaru also made a sound, with a look of dissatisfaction on his face, and took a step forward.

[Option 1: Push down the three people in front of you and tell them loudly that your dream is to become a stronger Hokage than the Fourth Generation! Reward: Mastery of the Three Body Art. 】
[Option 2: Deny the dream of becoming Hokage and don’t bother with it. Reward: The side effects of chakra disorder in the body disappear. 】
Naruto saw the panel, but the people around him didn't react. It was initially determined that he was the only one who could see the content on the panel.
Only then did he rest assured and focus on the options. The Three Body Technique was an important item in the graduation examination of the ninja school. If you were proficient in it, you would definitely graduate successfully.
Naruto has postponed his graduation for two years. Due to the chakra disorder in his body due to the Nine-Tails chakra, he is unable to use ninjutsu normally.
One is a shortcut that directly solves the current graduation problem, and maybe even allows Naruto to shine in the graduation exam.
The other is to solve the root cause of chakra disorder, but he still needs to spend time practicing the Three Body Technique and may not be able to master it.
After a brief decision, Naruto raised his head and looked at the three people in front of him who were looking for trouble. His voice was extremely calm.
"I don't want to be Hokage."
The group of teenagers who were about to bully them were stunned, and the leader looked like he didn't care and shouted loudly at him.
"impossible!"
"Nothing is impossible. I'm not as naive as you. That's your ridiculous dream, right?" Naruto said, "But it's also quite sad."
"With your current appearance, you won't even be ninjas in the future. You haven't stopped wearing diapers yet? Become Hokage? Oh, go ahead and have your sweet dreams."
After saying that, Naruto turned around and walked out of the school gate without entangled with a few people. Anyway, I didn’t skip class once or twice, but today I skipped class openly.
"You're talking nonsense! We didn't!" The three people's ashamed and angry voices came from behind, and Naruto's words seemed to hit their pain point.
The boy who wants to be Hokage has low self-esteem and is sensitive inside. Their dreams were pulled naked under the sun, making them jump.
[The reward is transferred successfully. 】
After a mechanical beep, Naruto felt his body cool down for a while, as if he had taken a sip of ice water on a hot day.
As he walked, he tried to feel the chakra flowing in his body. Sure enough, he felt the direction of the chakra flow, and the chakra that had almost no resonance in the past became active.
It was like ice spring water suddenly boiling. Every cell in the body was nourished by chakra, and a feeling of comfort came over the whole body.
This made Naruto couldn't help shouting, secretly feeling happy.
At the same time, a few people in the crowd of onlookers kept their eyes on the back of Naruto who was leaving.
"Shikamaru, did my ear break just now?" Choji tugged on Shikamaru's clothes, "Naruto, he said he doesn't want to be Hokage anymore?"
"Isn't that his dream? Why suddenly..."
"Who knows?" Shikamaru's dead eyes twitched, and he said with an indifferent expression, "Maybe that kid has realized what's so good about being Hokage."
"I'm so busy all day long that I don't even have time to relax."
"Stop saying those words, Naruto has disappeared." Choji said, "If Iruka-sensei catches him skipping class, he will be in trouble!"
Hinata was in an inconspicuous corner of the crowd, looking at Naruto from a distance with a troubled face. Class was about to begin, but she was worried that something would happen to Naruto.
She heard her father say that the most precious thing a person has is his dream. If you no longer need to dream, then this person must have experienced something very painful.
Naruto-kun, are you in pain now?
Thinking this, Hinata squeezed her little hands.
At this moment, she really wanted to catch up, but she didn't have the courage. Normally just taking a look would take all the courage, but now in front of so many people... I would probably die of shame!
The ninja school without Naruto seemed particularly peaceful. Iruka lost his temper as usual when he learned that Naruto had skipped school in the morning.
No one was carrying paint buckets to make mischief, and no one was making a fuss in the ninja school. Everything seemed harmonious.
Until sunset, Iruka found no trace of Naruto on the Hokage Rock. The naughtiest kid in the class seemed to have disappeared.
Just when Iruka was a little panicked, a soft voice suddenly sounded.
"Iruka-sensei?"
"Hinata? Why are you here?" Iruka turned his head and was slightly stunned.
The girl stood timidly in the orange sunset, lowering her head and not daring to look at him. Her face was red, as if she had been caught doing something bad.
"I... I'm looking for Naruto-kun." The girl's voice was as low as a mosquito, "Naruto-kun hasn't come to class all day... I'm worried..."
Looking at Hinata's red face that was almost bleeding, Iruka smiled kindly and said.
"Hinata-chan is also worried about Naruto, right?"
"It's okay, the teacher will be responsible for finding him. It's already late now, you'd better go home first, otherwise Hizu-sama will worry about you."
"No...no!" Hinata mustered up her courage and said in a loud voice, "Iruka-sensei, I...I also want to go find Naruto-kun with you!"
Iruka was touched in his heart, the smile on his face froze for a moment, he looked at the sky and said gently.
"Well, we can only look for another half hour. If we can't find it, Hinata promised the teacher that she must go home."
"Yes! Thank you, Mr. Iruka!" Hinata nodded excitedly and said.
...
"Ah? Are you looking for me?" Naruto raised his head and looked at the two of them in confusion. He was a little surprised that Hinata was also there.
"Hinata, why are you here?" Naruto asked unexpectedly.
"I..." Hinata lowered her head.
"I asked Hinata-san to help me find him." Iruka said to the rescue, "I think Hinata-san should know where Naruto is."
"That's right." Naruto scratched his head, "Is Mr. Iruka here because of truancy?"
