At the Konoha training ground, pure black blood-eyed crows swooped down from high in the sky. The sun cast its shadow on the dirt, forming a small black dot that passed quickly.
Uchiha Sasuke stopped the training at hand, raised his eyes from the grass and looked into the distance, passing through the strong wind grass, and fixed on the black spot that covered the sun hovering over the training ground.
The thin-faced Sasuke noticed something strange and squinted his eyes as he was about to open his Sharingan.
"Sasuke!" Sakura's voice came from far away.
The girl holding the food box stood at the edge of the training ground and waved. The wind in the wilderness ruffled her long hair, and her whole body was gilded with a layer of gold in the sunlight.
"Thank you." Sasuke stepped forward and took the food box, and noticed that the food box had two layers, "Is it for that guy?"
"Yes." Sakura nodded and smiled awkwardly, "After I came back that day, Kakashi-sensei was very angry."
"Naruto has to complete twenty D-level missions alone as punishment. Before completing the mission, Team 7 will not be able to take on any more missions."
"Kakashi also has good intentions. If the village finds out, I'm afraid a more serious punishment awaits that guy." Sasuke said while eating a rice ball.
Hearing this, a trace of worry flashed across Sakura's face.
"Kakashi-sensei changed the mission briefing and changed us from acting alone to acting collectively under the leadership of the Jonin. Naruto also took all the responsibility alone, so we don't have to be punished."
"But for some reason, Cardo's shipping company went bankrupt under mysterious circumstances. I heard that Cardo owed money and couldn't pay it back, and he himself died in the rebellion of the wandering ninjas below."
"Um."
.......
Sakura came to the street where Naruto was performing his mission. She looked around but saw no one. When she looked up, she saw Naruto lying on the roof sleeping in the sun.
"Naruto it's time to eat."
Naruto on the roof heard a carp rolling and jumped down. This was an abandoned old house located by the bamboo forest.
The summer breeze is blowing, and the bamboo leaves in the forest are rustling.
There is a low slope behind the house, covered with low green grass, which looks even more eye-catching and green in the sun.
The two of them were sitting on the slope eating rice balls. Sakura seemed to have something on her mind, and she occasionally looked dazed when talking to Naruto.
"What are you thinking about?" Naruto asked.
"No...it's nothing." Sakura forced a smile, and then there was a look of loss on her face.
"Naruto."
"Um."
"Why do you want to be a ninja?" Sakura asked.
"Stay alive, the commission of a ninja is considerable, and there are many benefits if you become a ninja." Naruto said thoughtfully. "What else can a person like me do if not become a ninja?"
Sakura was stunned for a moment, then said sorry.
"It's okay." Naruto waved his hand, took a bite of the rice ball and said, "Ninja is just a profession anyway, I never thought about being a ninja forever."
"I... really envy you, Naruto." Sakura said a little lonely.
"Why?"
"Because I feel like I can't be of much help. Every time we encounter danger, it's Naruto and Sasuke who come forward." Sakura hugged her knees and curled up.
"Sometimes I wonder if I'm not suitable to be a ninja."
"No." Naruto looked at Sakura and said, "Sakura, I remember when you graduated, your grades were third in the school, right?"
"Um."
"That's right. This proves that you have the talent to be a ninja, but you just haven't found the right direction yet."
"Direction?" Sakura raised her head upon hearing this.
"Yes, direction." Naruto said firmly, "Class 7 should be the most special class among this generation of genin, so you don't have to compare with me and Sasuke."
"The Uchiha clan has always been the best at fighting. Whether it is physical skills or the number of shurikens, they are passed down from family to family."
"And Sasuke's path was destined from the beginning. Do you know about his eyes? The secret of the Uchiha clan's Sharingan?"
"Sasuke-kun...what's the secret?" Sakura was a little surprised.
She suddenly recalled Sasuke's strange pair of red eyes in the woods of the Land of Waves, and she couldn't help but become nervous.
"The Uchiha clan is a clan of hatred, right?" Naruto said, "He carries a terrible secret, and hatred drives him to keep getting stronger."
"Those eyes of his are incredible weapons. They might even be able to knock down Hokage-sama."
"Hate?" Sakura's face turned pale.
"Well, so you don't have to think so much." Naruto packed up the food box, "Sakura, you also have your own way of ninja, just find a path of practice that suits you."
"How about, for example, medical ninjutsu?"
"Why medical ninjutsu?" Sakura asked curiously.
"Medical Ninjutsu has high requirements on the accuracy of ninja chakra control." Naruto explained, "Sakura, you are talented in this area, so I think you can try to learn Medical Ninjutsu."
"Thank you, Naruto." Sakura said sincerely, "Without you, it would be difficult for me..."
"Well, we are companions, aren't we?" Naruto stood up, looked down at the moved Sakura and said, "You go back and think about it carefully, I will go on my mission first."
With that said, the whole person disappeared from Sakura's sight.
Sakura looked at the direction where Naruto disappeared with a somewhat complicated look. Finally, she sighed, stood up and left with the food box in hand.
Naruto did not go on any mission to find cats and dogs, but found another roof to lie down and continue to bask in the sun.
A panel popped up, opening the system warehouse according to Naruto's wishes.
Looking at the dazzling treasures and cash inside, Naruto had a satisfied smile on his face. With this money, I will never have to work for money in my life.
Despite his joy, Naruto felt empty for a while.
With so much money, you still have to work hard?
How to spend this money? Buying real estate in Konoha will definitely be a loss. In two years, Pain will carry several buildings with a bag of rice and directly flatten Konoha.
The next step was to break away from Konoha's control and gain autonomy. The Kyuubi in the belly belongs to Konoha, but it does not necessarily have to be from Konoha.
Besides, the cheap old man never asked for his consent when he stuffed the fox into his stomach with his sister. Doesn't this mean he has to be a slave to Konoha for seventy years?
On the roof, Naruto crossed his legs and sat up suddenly with a thrill in his heart!
Damn it, I can't just stay here.
Now that he is not short of money, he will not be able to use it all in ten lifetimes. Wouldn't it be a pity if he was used as a weapon and tied up in Konoha Village.
It is difficult to support a single tree, and it is difficult to sing with a single palm.
If you want to control the power in Konoha Village, you must have a family behind you. You must become stronger and spread your branches, and use the money to revive the glory of the Uzumaki clan's sealed family.
