He stood up from his seat in the living room and stretched. Then, a trace of doubt appeared in his blue eyes.
Last night, he was in an even deeper coma than when he lost too much blood from his left arm.
Could it be that the mission was completed and his mind was completely relaxed, causing the accumulated fatigue from the past few days to surface?
If that was the case, it was a little strange.
It seemed that since more than a year ago, his body had been gradually undergoing an indescribable change. Usually, it was reflected in his rapid recovery. This time, even though Watergate was not a doctor, he could feel that the speed at which his wounds and body healed was special.
Most importantly, after Watanabe Chun's reminder, Watergate himself felt that his Chakra was slightly different from before.
However, he couldn't tell what the difference was either.
"Hehe, you woke up quite early."
At this moment, a familiar voice sounded in Watergate's ears. Looking towards the source of the voice, Sho Sho was already standing in front of the window where the sun shone in.
"Good morning to you too, Sho Sho -senpai."
Seeing the person who came, Watergate did not care that he was still in his pajamas and that his hair was a little messy. In a flash, he went to the window and pulled it open.
Immediately, Watergate moved aside and Sho Sho appeared beside him.
"The matter I asked you to do last night, did Sandaime Naruto -sama agree?" He asked impatiently.
After being together for so long, this was the first time that Sho Sho saw Watergate so flustered. After being stunned for a moment, he said, "Yes, now you will come with me to meet Sandaime."
Watergate's face was filled with joy. Only then did he realize his current appearance. Immediately, he laughed awkwardly and said, "Can you wait here for a moment? I need to change my clothes."
"Sorry."
Sho Sho nodded. Watergate added, and then quickly went upstairs to his room.
After a few minutes, Watergate quickly tidied himself up and headed to Naruto's building with Sho Sho.
...
"Yo, Watergate, long time no see, I heard that the Ninja School is on holiday, I haven't seen you on the street these days."
The two of them walked on the streets of Wood Leaf. The barbecue shop owner who was once helped by Watergate greeted him. At the same time, he also knew Sho Sho, but he wasn't that familiar with him.
"Well, there are some things," Watergate replied with a faint smile.
"You must be training hard. Remember to come to my barbeque shop when you have time. Uncle will treat you, everything is free."
The slightly chubby uncle from the barbecue shop raised his arms, which didn't have much muscle, as if he was supporting Minato's training in this way.
"Thank you," Watergate replied politely, as usual.
On the way to the Naruto's building, several people came to greet Watergate.
"It seems that you are popular."
Sho Sho smiled, Watergate did have a different temperament, and people couldn't help but want to get close to him.
If it weren't for Jiraiya, he would have accepted this talented boy as his apprentice.
But Watergate didn't seem to hear Sho Sho's words, and the latter didn't disturb him. It seems that he has his own thoughts in his heart.
...
"You can go in by yourself."
When he came to Naruto's office, Sho Sho left on his own, which was ordered by Sandaime before.
"Thank you." Watergate thanked him and pushed the door in.
As soon as he entered, he knelt down and said, "Sandaime Naruto -sama."
Sandaime raised his eyes and said with a smile, "Child, get up. I heard that you were injured during the mission.
How is the injury? "
His words were full of sincere concern. Watergate was the candidate he had his eyes on for a long time, and he was Jiraiya's apprentice, which meant that he was Sandaime's apprentice.
"It's no big deal. Thank you for your concern." Watergate immediately replied and stood up.
Sandaime smiled and said, "Watanabe Chun and Hatake Sho Sho have reported your performance in the Tang No Guk mission to me. You completed it very well, much better than your teacher in the past."
When talking with Watergate, Sandaime didn't show the dignity of Naruto.
"If it weren't for the guidance of Jiraiya -sensei, I wouldn't have made such great progress."
For more than a year, although Sensei didn't teach him any advanced ninjutsu, Minato realized how important what Sensei taught him was during the Ninja Trial and this mission in the Land of Hot Water.
The talent of a ninja is not only judged by the number of ninjutsu mastered and the power of the ninjutsu.
This is what his teacher told him. The so-called ninja is a person who can endure what others can't endure and has a strong will.
Only people with this kind of will can have real strength.
Sandaime smiled, apparently satisfied with Watergate's answer.
As Naruto, what he cares about most is the inheritance of the will of fire. He passed the will of fire to his three apprentices.
But now, Jiraiya, who gave Sandaime the most headaches among the three of them, passed it on to the next generation.
Only in this way can the will of fire passed down by the first Naruto -sama continue to grow and multiply.
As long as there are leaves flying, the fire will burn, the shadow of the fire will shine on the village, and new leaves will sprout.
This is the will of fire!
Today's Wood Leaf not only has excellent ninjas like Jiraiya and others, but also Sho Sho, there are also potential inheritors like Watergate and Rope Tree. This is the Wood Leaf he wants to see.
"Sandaime-sama, what you said to me before …?"
At this time, Watergate was a little speechless. Naturally, he couldn't ask Naruto -sama for anything.
Sandaime immediately smiled and said, "Oh, don't worry, I still remember."
"Ninja trial, Tang no Guk mission, your performance was impeccable, you not only proved yourself to me, but also let the companions around you recognize you."
Sandaime smiled, he knew Watanabe's style in the Anbu department, and in last night's report, every time this little girl was mentioned, her appearance would change.
This is also the original intention of Sandaime to let her carry out this mission, not only does he need her ability, but most of the Anbu ninjas will gradually close their hearts.
And the solution to this problem comes from … companions.
It can be seen that Sandaime Naruto is a kind and thoughtful person, Naruto.
Watergate wasn't excited by Sandaime's evaluation, but slowly clenched his fists.
Sandaime smiled and said, "So, after a comprehensive evaluation, from today, you officially graduate from the ninja school and become a Wood Leaf ninja."
