Naruto: Favorability System

A few days later, in the small forest training ground.

"Shadow Clone Technique!"

Accompanied by Naruto's soft shout, two shadow clones immediately appeared beside him, and rushed towards Shikamaru and Choji, wrestling with them.

When the strength gap is not obvious, the number advantage is extremely important.

Shikamaru and Choji couldn't hold on for too long, they were defeated one after another, and they soon took the initiative to admit defeat.

Seeing Shikamaru and Choji admit defeat, Naruto took the initiative to undo the shadow clone technique, and smiled and took out the bento he had prepared long ago.

With the help of Shikamaru and Choji and the non-interference of Nine Tails, he mastered the shadow clone technique in just a few days, which also proved his talent in ninjutsu.

If Naruto in the original book had been like him earlier, he would never have become dead last in his class.

After finishing the duel, Shikamaru and Choji looked at Naruto as if they had seen a monster, and even began to doubt whether the rumor of the demon fox was true.

Otherwise, at a similar age, they have just learned the family secret techniques and the three-body technique.

But Naruto has already practiced Transformation jutsu to a high level, and even mastered the advanced version of Clone Jutsu, which is a B-level ninjutsu, and extremely difficult to practice.

What frightened them even more was that it took Naruto only a short time to master the shadow clone technique, and his speed of progress was too fast.

While eating the bento brought by Naruto, Choji said to Shikamaru, "Shikamaru, will we not even be qualified to be Naruto's opponents in the future?"

Shikamaru fell into silence. He and Choji are indeed not Naruto's opponents.

If they can join forces with the descendant of the Yamanaka clan in the future, there may be hope of victory.

But this also proves that his judgment is not wrong, Naruto is suitable to be his friend, not enemy.

Aside from emotion, Shikamaru was a little curious about Naruto's true identity, whether he might be the descendant of a certain dignitary in the village as since Naruto is good, his parents must also be extraordinary.

But judging from the fact that his father avoids this topic very much, it's better not to inquire too much.

While meditating, Naruto came to Shikamaru and Choji, talked and laughed with them, and talked about interesting things in the village, and soon changed the topic to foreign ninjas.

Hearing this, Naruto said, "Listening to you, there have been a lot of foreign ninjas in the village recently?"

Shikamaru glanced at Naruto, and explained, "Those are members of Kumogakure. The frontline war is over, and they have come to sign a peace agreement with us."

Choji agreed? "I heard that both Kumogakure and we suffered heavy losses in this conflict. In order not to let other Ninja villages take advantage of this situation, the two sides made such a decision."

At this time, Shikamaru continued to add, "But this is also a good thing for us. In the last ninja world war, even ninja school students had to participate in the battle. We can avoid such a tragedy. After all, we will all become ninjas in the future."

"You should have received the admission letter, too."

"That's right, Grandpa Hokage brought me the admission notice last time."

Naruto nodded slightly, but there was no sign of relaxation in his frowning brows.

It was not because of the peace agreement signed by Konoha and Kumogakure, but because the current situation had awakened a memory in him.

In his impression, the Kumogakure ninja came here this time, in addition to signing a peace agreement, they also had the task of capturing Byakugan.

This indirectly led to the tragic death of Hyuga Neji's father, and the conflict between Hyuga's main family and the branch family became more and more acute.

At this moment, Choji next to him stopped eating, walked over and said, "By the way, Shikamaru and I have something to tell you."

Naruto looked puzzled, "What is it?"

Choji scratched his head and said, "After today, Shikamaru and I probably won't have time to play with you. My family has asked me to train with Shikamaru and the descendant of the Yamanaka clan. The training place must be within the clan."

'Is it the new generation of Ino-Shika-Cho combination?'

Naruto glanced at Shikamaru and Choji, then nodded, and said, "Okay, you guys can go practice, it happens that I have other ninjutsu to practice, so let's meet after we arrive at the ninja school."

Hearing this, Shikamaru hesitated to speak, but when he saw Naruto, Naruto responded with a faint smile.

After confirming that they will separate temporarily, Naruto, Shikamaru, and Choji played happily all afternoon, and said goodbye to each other.

Although they approached him with a purpose, the happiness was not fake.

This is also the idea of ​​the Third Hokage, artificially creating bonds for Naruto.

...

After watching Shikamaru and Choji leave, Naruto walked on the street alone, and after hearing the news of the visit of the Kumogakure envoy, he felt that the village seemed much more lively than before.

There are many bronze-skinned Kumogakure figures on the street, bargaining with shop owners.

After seeing Naruto, passers-by showed disgusted expressions, but the next moment, when they looked at Kumo-nin , they showed flattering expressions, as if they saw their savior.

Naruto chuckled, ignored their eyes and continued on his way.

For these villagers, the demon fox would bring bad luck, but the Kumo-nin came with the agenda of peace, so they showed a gesture of welcoming.

But they seem to have forgotten that it was Kumogakure who started the war first.

After wandering around for a while, Naruto came to a relatively remote park, where he was going to enjoy the tranquility of being alone.

After walking into the park, he realized that there was a small figure on the bench, which was Hinata.

Holding a gift box in her hand, she carefully looked around, as if she was waiting for someone to appear.

When she saw Naruto, she quickly stood up and said,

"Naruto-kun... please accept my gift."

Naturally, Naruto would not reject Hinata's intentions, but quickly discovered her blind spot.

"Hinata, how did you find me, did you wait here for a few days?"

Hinata snorted and stammered, "On the first day... I didn't expect to meet Naruto-kun just in time."

After careful questioning, Naruto was also a little surprised. Hinata ran out secretly to give him a gift, because she didn't know where he lived, she waited in this park.

But by a strange coincidence, Hinata actually met him and delivered the gift to him.

Naruto was a little emotional, then looked at Hinata, and said, "I've accepted your gift, but don't sneak out to look for me again, especially now that it's so late, what if you get lost again?"

Hearing this, Hinata lowered her head and explained, "I've been practicing very hard, no... I won't be bullied, I just... want to meet Naruto-kun."

Hearing this, Naruto felt an indescribable joy.

Then, Naruto suddenly looked around, and he was relieved after sensing a chakra similar to Hinata.

The Hyuga clan has finally done a decent thing. After experiencing several incidents of being bullied, they were finally willing to arrange a guard for Hinata.

Reminiscent of the experience of Hinata being kidnapped, Naruto approached Hinata and whispered, "Hinata, go to bed early, be careful when walking at night, and be sure to be accompanied by an adult, I am worried that you will have another accident. "

"Ah..."

Feeling Naruto's breath, Hinata blushed like a kettle, almost buried her head in her shoulders, and nodded after a few seconds, "I'll listen to Naruto-kun."
