Chương 110: Page 110

Upon hearing this, Xiaochun frowned but didn't say anything more.

At this moment, Mitokado Homura, who was standing to the side, adjusted his glasses and reminded him:

"Hiruzen, the Anbu are back."

Almost the instant he finished speaking, an ANBU member wearing a dog mask appeared in front of the three of them.

With a swift kneel, the dog-masked man hurriedly reported:

"Reporting to the Hokage, the Daimyo of the Land of Lightning and his entourage are about to arrive."

The third generation turned around and nodded slightly.

"I understand. You can go now."

The ANBU ninja nodded respectfully and instantly returned to the group of five ANBU guards.

Just minutes after he returned to his team, a group of six people appeared at the end of the road in the distance.

Xiaochun, who was turning over in her new dorm, squinted her old eyes and couldn't help but mutter:

"Only 6 people? That's not like the style of a Daimyo."

The Third Generation and Mitokado Homura both remained silent, but in their hearts, they also labeled Beetz as a strange person.

At this moment, with Naruto's help, the three members of Team 7 squeezed through the crowd and arrived at the front row.

After seeing through the Chunin blocking his way and realizing there were only six people in the distance, Naruto couldn't help but say in disappointment:

"What's going on? A prestigious name like this has no pomp and circumstance at all. How boring."

Sakura and Sasuke nodded in agreement. This was completely different from what they had imagined—a grand entrance by a daimyo, surrounded by a retinue of attendants, riding in sedan chairs and carriages.

Just then, a lazy voice reached the ears of the three of them.

"Perhaps the Land of Lightning is special. I've heard that they are all pragmatists and don't care much about the so-called 'cards' (a set of cards).

Moreover, this daimyo's situation is the most unique among all the daimyo.

Naruto and his two friends looked in the direction of the voice and saw the young man with the pineapple-shaped haircut raise his hand and lazily greet them.

"Hey, Naruto, Sasuke, Sakura, it's been a long time."

"Oh, it's Shikamaru. You're curious and came to join in the fun too."

Seeing that it was one of his few friends from the Ninja Academy, Naruto happily went over and put his arm around his shoulder.

Because Team 7 had just finished a mission, Naruto smelled strongly of sweat, which made Shikamaru turn his head away in disgust.

"I have no interest in this kind of troublesome stuff; I was only dragged here by that young lady."

Shikamaru gave a helpless thumbs-up behind him, and the three of them looked past him and saw Ino holding her cheeks with an expectant expression, and Choji with potato chips in his mouth.

"Inoboro?!" Sakura subconsciously gritted her teeth and shouted out the name of her love rival.

Despite the low volume and the noisy surroundings, Ino immediately picked up on her voice.

Turning his head in surprise, he looked at Sakura and blurted out:

"A broad forehead?!"

The situation suddenly became dangerous as the two women began calling each other by their nicknames.

Shikamaru shook his head in exasperation, just as he was about to step forward to stop the two women and remind them to be mindful of the occasion.

Another voice reached the ears of both groups.

"Isn't this Naruto and Shikamaru? You guys are here too."

Shikamaru was surprised to see the guy pushing through the crowd and squeezing his way over.

"Kiba, Hinata, and... Shino, you guys actually came too."

I never expected that this year's graduating class of genin would gather together in this way.

Shino: "You hesitated. You hesitated when you called my name, didn't you?"

Unfortunately, perhaps because he was naturally too inconspicuous, his resentment was completely ignored by everyone.

Just as Naruto was about to happily exchange a few pleasantries with his old classmates, the Chunin maintaining order couldn't help but turn around and warn him:

"Quiet down, kids, watch the situation."

Upon hearing this, the group immediately fell silent. Only then did they remember the purpose of their visit and hurriedly looked towards the main entrance.

Only then did they realize that the group from the Land of Lightning, who had been far away just moments before, had somehow arrived at the door, and the third generation of grandfathers and others went to greet them.

At such close range, the genin could clearly see the group's attire.

After looking for a long time, none of the students in Class 7 could find anyone who resembled the famous figure.

Only one handsome older brother, wearing a brown straw hat with the character "雷" (lei) on it, stepped forward to shake hands with his third-generation grandfather.

"Hey, where's the name you were supposed to use? Why don't I see it? Is Kakashi-sensei lying to us again?"

Naruto scratched his head in confusion and asked the person next to him.

Sakura and Sasuke stared at the young man in a daze.

Sakura: "Wow, so cool~" Sasuke: "That straw hat!! Could it be...?!"

Even Shikamaru's expression turned unusually serious as he explained to Naruto:

"Didn't you hear what I just said? The daimyo of the Land of Lightning is the most special one among all the daimyo."

Because he is not only a daimyo, but also the Fifth Raikage of Kumogakure (Hidden Cloud Village) in the Land of Lightning!

"Eh—!!!" *3 I humbly beg all my esteemed readers to give me more flowers and monthly tickets, and I desperately request that you urge me to update more frequently and provide rewards. I would be eternally grateful.

!!

All three members of Team 7 exclaimed in surprise, even Sasuke.

Website: www. 53dushu. com QQ Group: 284251450 Shikamaru wasn't surprised by their reaction; such important news had reached the larger ninja clans in Konoha, and even well-informed merchants.

Only Naruto, who is all alone, Sasuke, who is obsessed with revenge, and Sakura, who comes from a common background, would not know this.

"Wait, wait a minute, the Daimyo and Kage of the Five Great Nations can be the same person? This has never happened before in history!"

Even the academic genius Sakura, after recounting the history of the five great nations, never expected such an outrageous story.

Sasuke stared wide-eyed in resentment, his fists clenched tightly.

The encounter with Haku in the Land of Waves had already taught him the truth that there are always people more capable than oneself.

But now he sees peers who don't look much older than him, yet they've become the village's most prominent figures at such a young age.

His desire to become stronger intensified, and he couldn't help but think of the man who had been called a genius since childhood.

Damn it, what have I been doing all these years?! At the same age, I've already fallen so far behind!

Compared to his two teammates with complicated emotions, Naruto's thoughts were much simpler.

"Hey~ that guy is so young and he's already become the Raikage."

Does that mean I also have a chance to become Hokage at the same age?

That's right, if he can do it, so can I!

Others: "... Idiot."

Ignoring this daydreaming idiot, Ino gazed intently at Beetz, who was chatting and laughing with the Third Hokage, and couldn't help but feel a stirring of romantic feelings.

"What a handsome and powerful man! He's my type!"

"Huh?" Sakura tilted her head in surprise. Wasn't Inoboru in love with Sasuke just like her? How could she have fallen for someone else so quickly?

However, turning his head to look at Bitts' nearly two-meter height, his handsome and heroic face, and the composed and dignified aura of a superior that he unintentionally exuded.

Sakura's eyes lit up, and she almost fell for it.

No, no, I already have Sasuke, how can I fall in love with another man!

Shaking her head to shake off these rosy fantasies, Sakura stole a glance at Sasuke beside her.

But Sasuke was currently resentful of his own weakness, and a low-pressure aura emanated from him, making Sakura feel a chill in her heart.

"Sasuke-kun..."

With a soft murmur, Xiao couldn't help but feel a pang of loneliness.

Perhaps she never caught Sasuke's eye from beginning to end; it was only because they were on the same team that she had the illusion that their relationship had become closer.

When Naruto heard Ino say that the guy was handsome, he felt a little unconvinced.

"Is he handsome? He looks just average."

As he was saying this, Naruto suddenly remembered that there was a girl among them.

So he turned around and found Hinata, who was hiding behind her two teammates and secretly observing Bitz and the others. He shamelessly pointed at himself and asked Hinata:

"Hey Hinata, tell me, who's more handsome, me or him?"

"Hey, Naruto, why are you suddenly asking this question? I... I..."

Hinata, whose name was suddenly called by her beloved, quickly looked away, her two white, jade-like fingers nervously twisting together.

Looking at Naruto, who was grinning foolishly and waiting for her answer, and then glancing at the handsome and masculine Beethoven, Hinata couldn't bring herself to lie that he was more handsome than the Raikage, even though she preferred Naruto.

"Hey, Hinata, I'm asking you a question, why aren't you saying anything?"

Naruto, who had been waiting for a long time without getting an answer, couldn't help but urge Hinata, making her even more nervous and at a loss.

At this moment, her teammate Shino stepped forward to help Hinata out of the predicament:

"Naruto, the answer is already obvious. The reason Hinata didn't say it was just to save your face."

"Shino, please don't say that, I didn't mean it that way."

Hinata anxiously tried to retort, but Naruto, whose voice was too soft, didn't hear her at all.

I stared at this strange guy wearing sunglasses and completely wrapped in a trench coat for a long time.

Naruto crossed his arms, puzzled, and asked:

"Excuse me, who are you? Do we know each other?"

Shino: "..."

Seeing the man in sunglasses walk away dejectedly, Naruto scratched his head in bewilderment and then didn't think much of it.

Looking again at the so-called Raikage, Naruto muttered unconvinced:

"I just can't see how he's more handsome than me."

But the older woman with black hair next to him was really beautiful.

"Uh-huh!"

After he finished speaking, all the male students except Shikamaru and Sasuke nodded in agreement, which made Sakura and Ino grit their teeth, and even Hinata was a little upset.

However, after their anger subsided, the three girls looked at the older sister Naruto had mentioned, admiring her graceful figure and charming features.

Deep down, I had to admit that she was indeed a stunningly beautiful woman.

Not only them, but most of the villagers and ninjas who came to watch also focused their attention on Bitz, Ryoubi, and Yukito.

The three of them were already immune to such gazes.

While Bitt was talking to the three old men and women, Liang Bing, who had nothing better to do, casually glanced at the villagers who were watching.

Soon, she noticed the Konoha genin pointing and whispering in her direction.

More precisely, they noticed Naruto.

"Ok?"

With a soft nasal sound, Liang Bing's interest was immediately piqued.

Beetz and the third generation also heard the noise she made and looked at her.
