Konoha: Naruto returns from Boruto: Next Generations

The last time he was so surprised was the last time.

Gekko Hayate remembered that he was so surprised last time.

With so many people, this scale can be called a small village.

Is Lord Orochimaru so generous?

Just to give Lord Tsunade a surprise to succeed as Hokage, he directly brought so many people to Konoha.

Gekko Hayate can completely imagine it.

Once so many people really join Konoha.

Konoha's strength will be far ahead of other villages.

He can feel that among these people, elite ninjas alone account for more than half.

"Don't look at me like that. If you want to thank someone, you have to thank Naruto!"

Orochimaru left a word and walked towards the door.

Moonlight Gale was full of doubts.

Naruto?

What does this have to do with Naruto?

He found that there was a lot of news about Naruto recently.

Is he out of date?

…

Before the inauguration ceremony of the Hokage.

Naruto took Sasuke to a rooftop and sat cross-legged.

The sky was clear, the sun was rising, everything was full of vitality, and Konoha Village was thriving.

Countless people had already gathered on the streets and in the square in front of the Hokage Building, in groups of three or five, with expressions of surprise and joy on their faces.

Many villagers in Konoha Village did not expect the abdication of the Third Hokage to come so suddenly, and they did not expect that the new successor to the position of Hokage would be Tsunade-sama, the granddaughter of the First Hokage.

For a while, many people launched a heated discussion and analyzed the reasons, but there was no doubt that most of the reasons were their own guesses and were completely unfounded.

"Have you heard? My uncle's uncle's brother told me that the Third Generation is not as energetic as before, so he has to abdicate."

"Really? That's right, the Third Generation is so busy, his energy must be not as good as before."

"You guys only know one side of the story."

"Oh? Does this gentleman have a good idea?"

"I'll tell you secretly, in fact, the Third Generation has to go back to pay grain every night after handling government affairs."

"Wow! Is it true? The Third Generation is still strong and healthy."

"That's right, my sister's sister's cousin told me."

Listening to these people talking nonsense, Naruto couldn't help showing a helpless expression on his face.

"These people are really, they can think of all kinds of weird reasons, which really makes people speechless."

Sasuke sat next to Naruto, quietly overlooking the surging crowd below, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised.

"Because they don't know what happened, they can only guess."

Sasuke turned his eyes to Naruto, with a look of relief on his face.

"Naruto, all this is your credit. If it weren't for you, I'm afraid the Third Hokage wouldn't have abdicated so quickly, and Tsunade wouldn't have come back to succeed the Hokage."

"You're being polite. I'm just thinking about the future of Konoha."

Naruto replied indifferently, looking up at the sky with a melancholy look in his eyes.

"Too many dangers are waiting for us in the future. If we can't prepare for it from now on, the future will definitely be the same as in the past life."

"You're right."

Sasuke's eyes also showed a trace of sadness.

Recalling the things in his previous life, he felt a deep sense of powerlessness in his heart.

Watching the people he cared about being persecuted in front of him, but he couldn't save them no matter what.

This feeling of powerlessness and helplessness is like having your heart cut out by a knife, and it hurts so much that it makes people tremble.

"But fortunately, God has given us a chance to start over again. We will definitely change the future this time!"

Naruto turned his head and looked at Sasuke, his eyes firm.

Seeing Naruto's eyes like this, Sasuke's heart couldn't help but be touched. He nodded heavily and said, "Yes, we can definitely change the future this time!"

The two looked at each other, as if they had made a promise that would take a long time to fulfill.

In this life, there are no obstacles like in the previous life. They will definitely be able to integrate the entire ninja world more quickly and deal with future dangers together.

"By the way, there is something I want to tell you."

After Sasuke and Naruto looked at each other for a moment, they turned their eyes to the crowd below, observing the villagers with different expressions, and said to Naruto.

"What?"

Naruto was stunned for a moment, not knowing what Sasuke was going to say to him.

"My father wants to invite you to his home tonight." Sasuke replied.

"Huh? Why?"

When Naruto heard the news, he was stunned for a moment, his face full of

.

Sasuke looked at Naruto's puzzled expression and explained, "I brought Hikari home last night and told him that Lady Tsunade asked him to recognize Hikari as her goddaughter."

"But my father said that this is a big deal and that a grand ceremony needs to be held at a certain time."

"And after he knew that you were the one behind all this, he strongly asked me to invite you to my home."

After hearing Sasuke's words, Naruto's face showed a moment of contemplation, and then a meaningful smile appeared.

"Really? Your father is really thoughtful!"

Naruto couldn't help but feel a little playful.

This Uchiha Fugaku is really a vixen.

What do you mean by recognizing Uchiha Hikari as a goddaughter? It's a big deal and you need to set a time?

It's obvious that he wants to invite me over tonight to test my attitude and then make a decision.

He is really shrewd!

However, there is nothing wrong with going to Sasuke's house.

Anyway, this matter must be implemented.

Besides, it was his good brother Sasuke who personally invited him, so he couldn't refuse!

"Okay, I'll go to your house tonight. To be honest, I should visit Uncle Fugaku and Aunt Mikoto after such a long time. I heard that she and my mother are good friends."

Naruto smiled at Sasuke.

Sasuke glanced at Naruto, pursed his lips and said, "Thank you, Naruto."

He knew that Naruto could have refused.

But because he asked, he agreed.

He is really a good person to his brothers.

Naruto grinned, patted Sasuke on the shoulder, and said cheerfully, "We are friends, why are you being polite to me?"

Sasuke was shaken by Naruto's fierce pat, and almost fell off the roof.

The feeling that just came out of his heart disappeared instantly.

He glared at Naruto angrily.

This guy really didn't know the severity of his attack!

At this time, another figure appeared on the roof, about the same age as Naruto and Sasuke, with his hair tied behind his head.

"Really, why are there so many people, it's so noisy!"

Shikamaru put his hands in his pockets and walked on the roof, his face full of impatience.

He hated the hustle and bustle, so he wanted to find a quiet place to watch the Hokage succession ceremony.

Unexpectedly, he ran into Naruto and Sasuke.

"Hey, Shikamaru!"

Naruto found Shikamaru and immediately reached out to greet him.

In his previous life, Shikamaru was his assistant, and he was very good at playing shadows, so he was also considering letting Shikamaru serve as one of the captains of the Konoha Gotei Thirteen Squadron.

Shikamaru heard the voice, stopped and looked up, his expression was stunned.

I didn't expect to meet these two people here.

"What, you are here too!"

Shikamaru showed a hint of impatience on his face.

It seems that his plan to be alone has failed again.

"What? What's that expression on your face? It seems like you don't want to see us."

Naruto was speechless for a while.

Is he so annoying?

"Not really, I just wanted to be alone."

Shikamaru said, his eyes swept over Naruto and Sasuke, and his eyes couldn't help but condense.

He noticed that both Naruto and Sasuke were wearing similar swords.

What's going on?

Is there any gay relationship between these two people?

He held his chin with one hand, and carefully recalled the recent behavior of these two people, and couldn't help feeling puzzled.

In general, the recent behavior of these two people is too abnormal, and they are a little too close, which makes people feel incredible.

"I say, what's going on with you two recently?"

Shikamaru asked straight to the point.

"What?"

Naruto was full of confusion, not knowing what Shikamaru was talking about.

Shikamaru said, "You two have changed so much recently, you are not like children at all."

Shikamaru's words immediately made Naruto and Sasuke's hearts "click". They looked at each other and could see a hint of nervousness on each other's faces.

It's not that they don't want to tell Shikamaru the truth, but it's not the right time yet.

And there are threats from White Zetsu and Otsutsuki in the dark, and there must be secret agents planted by those enemies in the village.

So, the fewer people who know their true identities, the better.

And the exposure to Kakashi, Tsunade, Shisui and Itachi before was completely forced by the situation.

In order to force the third generation to abdicate, they had to expose themselves so that Kakashi, Tsunade, Shisui and Itachi would believe them.

And these people also knew the importance of this matter, and they kept their mouths shut and did not reveal their true identities.

As for the future, perhaps except for Sakura, there is no need to continue to expose them to others.

Because that would be too risky.

If the enemy finds out, it would be...

It will definitely lead to unimaginable consequences.

But I didn't expect that Shikamaru would notice something strange during this period of time.

Sasuke kept winking at Naruto, asking him to give Shikamaru an explanation.

Naruto was sweating in his heart, and he didn't know how to explain it all of a sudden.

He touched the back of his head, and suddenly an idea came to him. He said awkwardly: "You know, failed love will make a man grow up. I didn't understand it before, but now I understand clearly that for those who don't love me, no matter how hard I try, it's just in vain."

Hearing Naruto's incoherent explanation, Sasuke's eyes twitched constantly.

What is this?

I asked you to explain, why are you saying this?

Shikamaru stared at Naruto with a serious face, as if he wanted to see through him.

As a person whose wisdom far exceeds that of his peers, he probably understands what Naruto means.

This child is hurt!

A trace of sympathy and pity immediately appeared in his eyes.

Turning to look at Sasuke, he said, "I roughly understand Naruto's changes, what about you, Sasuke?"

Sasuke was stunned when he heard this.

What did you understand?

Shikamaru continued, "You look like an adult now, what's wrong with you?"

Sasuke's forehead was sweating, and he didn't know how to explain to convince Shikamaru.

At this time, there was a commotion below.

The Hokage succession ceremony began.

Everyone gathered in front of the Hokage Building, looking up at the top of the building, with a lot of noise and crowds.

Shikamaru was also attracted by this scene.

Sasuke was relieved immediately.

It was a close call, there was almost no way out.

On the Hokage Building, the Sandaime appeared, announced his abdication, and announced that Tsunade would succeed him as the new Hokage.

Tsunade, wearing a Hokage robe, stood on the Hokage Building and waved to the people below.

The crowd burst into thunderous cheers and shouts again.

"Tsunade-san is so popular!"

Naruto couldn't help but sigh as he watched this scene.

At this moment, he seemed to have returned to his previous life and witnessed Tsunade's ascension to the position of Hokage.

The only difference is that in this life, everything happened faster.

When he thought about what would happen in the future, he felt anxious.

It's not enough now, he needs to become stronger.

The whole ninja world must be united to deal with the huge dangers in the future.

Soon, the Hokage succession ceremony ended.

The three were about to leave.

Suddenly, a masked Anbu member appeared in front of them.

"Naruto, Tsunade-sama ordered you to go see her."
