He smiled contentedly and continued casting his line.
at the same time.
On the road downstream of the Namka River.
A kind-looking man looked around.
Just then, he suddenly saw a blond boy fishing leisurely not far away.
The next moment, his originally kind expression instantly turned into one of gritted teeth.
"Damn Naruto, so you were here!"
"I've been looking for this for ages!!!"
The thought of searching for Naruto for four hours straight, without even having breakfast, was unbearable.
Shui Mu felt a surge of anger.
But soon——
His previously contorted expression of anger vanished instantly, replaced by a kind and gentle face.
He looks incredibly kind.
Mizuki walked towards Naruto's direction, and then raised his right hand and waved it.
"Hi, Naruto."
"So you're fishing here."
Naruto, who was fishing, didn't even bother to turn his head when he heard the familiar voice; he knew who it was.
Naruto had absolutely no liking for this person.
In the original Naruto manga, he wanted to use Naruto to obtain the sealing scroll.
But he's not Naruto from the original story anymore, and he's not going to be foolish enough to become the other party's tool.
When Mizuki saw that Naruto was ignoring him, his defenses crumbled instantly, and his face gradually darkened.
How dare they ignore me!
Just you wait!!
Once you obtain the sealing scroll, you will surely die!
Nine-tailed fox, you deserve to die!!!
After making up her mind, Shui Mu's expression returned to normal.
He quickly approached Naruto and said with a smile, "Naruto, you came here to fish to ease your sad mood, right?"
"???" Naruto tilted his head and asked, "To relieve sadness?"
“Yes.” Mizuki nodded, his face kind. “You didn’t pass the Ninja Academy graduation exam, while other students did. It must be hard for anyone to accept that, right?”
Upon hearing this, Naruto immediately shook his head in denial.
"You're overthinking it. I'm not sad at all."
"You..." Shui Mu's lips twitched violently. He had never expected to receive such a reply. It was quite unexpected.
He quickly regained his composure, shook his head, and pretended to understand everything.
"Naruto, you don't need to pretend to be strong in front of me. I know you must be very sad inside!"
"Because I understand you!"
"I understand you!"
Naruto was utterly speechless.
Do you know me?
Who do you think you are?
You're a complete idiot!
Mizuki, seemingly oblivious to Naruto's speechless expression, said with utmost seriousness:
"To be honest, Naruto, you're the hardest-working student I've ever seen!"
"No one in the class works as hard as you!"
"I have always firmly believed that you will achieve great things in the future!"
“I’ve seen how hard you’ve been practicing every day!”
"I believe that you didn't perform well in the ninja graduation exam."
"If you were given the chance to retake the exam, you would definitely achieve excellent results!"
"Make the whole class look at you with new eyes!"
Naruto was completely speechless after hearing what the other person said.
Saying I'm hardworking?
Aside from skipping classes to fish, I was either on my way to fish during my school years.
Which eye of yours saw my efforts?!
Isn't this just utter nonsense?
Open your eyes and tell lies.
If your eyes are useless, you should donate them as soon as possible.
Naruto, too lazy to listen to the other person's long, nauseating ramblings, asked directly, "Mitsuki-sensei, what exactly are you trying to say after all this time?"
Mizuki was delighted to hear that Naruto had finally gotten to the point.
He quickly answered.
"Naruto, as your teacher, I understand your difficulties."
"So the teacher plans to help you graduate!!"
Now that we're getting to the main topic, Shui Mu's face lit up with excitement.
Do you want to graduate?
"Do you want to become a ninja that everyone respects?"
Having heard this, how could Naruto not understand what the other party was about to say?
However, he resolutely shook his head and refused.
"In no mood!"
"..." Shui Mu was stunned, quite taken aback.
Naruto is playing by his own rules!
You should have said you wanted to graduate.
How am I supposed to respond to that?
How can I trick you into stealing the sealing scroll?
Suppressing his anger, he forced a friendly smile and shook his head slightly.
"No, Naruto."
"You want to graduate, right?"
"You're just too shy to ask, right?"
Naruto realized that Mizuki wouldn't give up until he achieved his goal.
He decided to see what Shuimu could come up with.
"Teacher Shuimu, what should I do?"
Seeing that the other party had become interested, Mizuki felt that he must have been the one to wake Naruto up, and a sense of pride rose in his heart.
He then immediately got to the point.
"Naruto, there is a sealed scroll inside the Hokage Building. It contains many advanced ninjutsu."
"If you can learn this, graduating from the Ninja Academy won't be a problem, and becoming a Chunin won't be an issue either."
"How about we take action tonight?"
Upon hearing this, Naruto's lips twitched slightly.
If I don't agree, I'm afraid Shuimu will pester me for a whole day, right?
How can you fish leisurely then?
Thinking of this, Naruto's expression turned serious, revealing an unprecedented level of earnestness.
He nodded emphatically, his voice firm and resonant!
"okay, I get it."
Upon seeing that the other party agreed, Mizuki couldn't help but smile, feeling extremely pleased with himself.
Sure enough, kids are easy to fool.
Then, he took out a map from his pocket.
"Here, this is where the sealed scroll is placed."
Naruto took the map and nodded seriously.
"it is good!"
Having achieved his goal, Shuimu happily left.
Naruto glanced at the map in his hand, tossed it aside, and cast his fishing rod.
"Go steal the scroll?"
"Wait, then."
