"Minato, thank you for your hard work!"
Long before the Fourth Hokage led the ninja troops back to Konoha, the ninja troops where Cross Country was located had made the final preparations before returning to Konoha, that is, they were ready to enjoy hero-like treatment!
The entire ninja force, except for the Fourth Hokage who led the team at the front, was followed by Cross Country who put on the ANBU costume again, Uchiha Shisui, Kakashi and other ANBU affiliated with the Hokage, and behind them was Akai. , Shiranui Genma, Ebisu, and Ashirai are the ninjas who are the guardians of the Hokage.
Obviously, among the troops who returned from victory, only the Fourth Hokage was the real protagonist.
It seems that Shikaku, Choza, and Haiichi, these ninjas who also played important roles in the war, can only give up all the scenery to the Fourth Hokage, and even have to line up behind the ANBU and guard members under the Fourth Hokage. , seeing this made Cross Country feel a little uncomfortable in his heart, silently complaining for Lu Jiu and others.
However, it is very normal for Shikaku, Choza, Haiichi and others to feel uncomfortable while going off-road.
After returning from such a war, Shikaku, Choza, Haiichi and others have participated in it several times, and they have already become familiar with some of the unspoken rules.
It was said to be welcoming the heroes of Konoha, but in reality it was just a political show.
The ninja troops of Konoha returned from victory. All the ninjas who really deserved the glory were killed in the battle. The person who can enjoy the glory in the place of these deceased ninjas must be the true commander of the ninja troops of Konoha.
In the past, those who enjoyed the glory were often Jiraiya, Orochimaru, Tsunade Hime, and the famous Sannin in Konoha Village.
Now, the protagonist has finally become himself. He no longer needs to be a green leaf like before and is accompanying his mentor Jiraiya. When the Fourth Hokage stepped forward to see the Third Hokage, he listened to the Third Hokage's encouragement and felt in his heart It can be said to be extremely exciting. Immediately afterwards, after the Third Hokage and the Fourth Hokage gave speeches, the atmosphere in the entire Konoha Village could be said to have reached a climax!
The cheers and cheers are endless.
Even when Cross Country looked to the side, even Uchiha Shisui, Kakashi and other Anbu clenched their fists, and their eyes were full of enthusiasm as they looked at the leader of the Third Hokage and the Fourth Hokage. Not to mention the Konoha ninja troops, the genin in Konoha Village, and the little devils who are about to become genin!
"Alas, the post-war celebrations are nothing more than brainwashing."
"Poor Konoha ninjas, all for the benefit of a few people in Konoha, even risking their lives, what do they get in exchange?"
"In the celebration, the names of those who died in the battle were not even mentioned. At most, their names were engraved on a so-called "hero monument" in the future, and few people could go to watch it." "It's really boring
. Dead!"
At this time, when everyone was cheering and applauding, and their eyes were full of fanaticism, wishing to die fighting for Konoha, only the thoughts in the cross-country heart and those fanatics different. Therefore, standing not far behind the Fourth Hokage, Cross Country suddenly felt out of place.
Even for a second, Cross Country was secretly thinking how great it would be if he were still on the battlefield.
If you are still on the battlefield and have not returned to Konoha Village, then there is no need to participate in such a stupid celebration!
Of course, the inner thoughts of off-roaders cannot be shown on the surface. They are just off-roaders' psychological activities. Just like now, isn't Cross Country imitating Uchiha Shisui and Kakashi, cheering and cheering, like a fanatic who wants to die on the battlefield for Konoha Village?
But the more he tries his best to behave like everyone else, the stronger the feeling of being out of place becomes in his heart.
Therefore, when the celebration was halfway through, Cross Country found that there was basically nothing to do with him at the celebration, so he spoke to the Fourth Hokage, Shikaku, and returned to the Nara clan to practice hard.
Obviously, from the cross-country perspective, rather than wasting time on the celebration, it is more important to go back and practice hard to improve your strength.
However, when Cross Country returned to the Nara clan to practice and went to say goodbye to Shikaku, Cross Country did not notice Shikaku's worried gaze.
If Cross Country saw the look in Lu Jiu's eyes, which was all filled with deep worry, then Cross Country might have discovered another problem hidden in him earlier!
Half a month later, the Nara clan.
"One Thousand and One!"
"One Thousand and Two!"
"One Thousand and Three!"
"One Thousand and Zero"
"Huh? Is this round of shadow clone training over? Okay, restore chakra and use multiple shadows again Let’s practice the secret technique of the blast style in the art of clones!"
Returning to Konoha Village, I practiced rigorously every day, and half a month passed quickly.
In this half-month period, Cross Country has put all his energy into training. Even when he had promised Yuhi Hong early and was going to a relaxing party, Cross Country only showed up in a hurry. He returned to the Nara clan to continue his training.
In the daily hard training, cross-country is just like the previous plan. It is still a practice to consolidate the foundation of human body secrets. As for the practice of the secret technique of blast flow as a breakthrough, it is completed by using shadow clones. After all, the practice of the secret technique of Gale Flow requires the accumulation of experience, so that it can gradually become the breakthrough needed for cross-country!
Let’s talk about the results of the current half month of practice, the evaluation of cross-country itself is failing!
In addition to the hidden weapon training that needs to be consolidated every day, the chakra training that needs to be carried out every day, and the training of the Uzumaki clan's spiritual arts, Cross Country has not even done much research on the Space-Time Rasengan. In addition to practicing, he is studying the secret technique of the fast wind flow carefully, hoping that the secret technique of the fast wind flow can become a breakthrough for his own bottleneck as soon as possible.
However, when it comes to consolidating the basics of human body secret cultivation, the load on the cross-country body has reached a terrifying 100KG, and the training required is even more boring and harsh. However, even under such harsh and boring training, Cross Country's human body secret foundation strengthening training is still not completed, which can be said to make many irritable emotions arise in Cross Country's heart.
Moreover, it happened to be that irritable mood that made Cross Country's progress in practicing the secret technique of Gale Wind Flow not very good.
It goes without saying that if a person can practice meditation, he can carefully discover every detail in practice, summarize it, and finally achieve a breakthrough.
On the contrary, if you practice when you are extremely irritable, the daily practice may be very tiring and hard, but the final harvest may not be proportional to the effort.
This is actually what cross-country is today.
In half a month of hard training, it is impossible to say that there is no progress.
But to say that progress is within the acceptable range of cross-country, it is even more so!
Moreover, when he returned to Konoha Village to live a peaceful life, as long as he was not practicing, his head was filled with anxiety, worry and other negative emotions. Even before going to bed every day, Cross Country suffered from insomnia because he missed the "stimulating" life on the battlefield. As a result, he practiced again every day while being extremely mentally exhausted, entering a vicious cycle.
If Shikaku or the Fourth Hokage had been by Cross Country's side, guiding him in his training, then they would have discovered that there was something wrong with Cross Country's spirit.
It was also a war period, and the mental illness that plagued many ninjas participating in the war was named postwar anxiety disorder by the medical ninjas of Konoha Village. They needed to relax to relieve mental fatigue.
Only after the mental fatigue is completely relieved can you continue to practice and accept tasks.
Unfortunately, after returning to Konoha Village, both Shikaku and the Fourth Hokage had to deal with a lot of matters and did not have the time to guide cross-country. In addition, the person who is currently instructing cross-country training is Matt Dai, a rough guy who likes to abuse himself. Naturally, there is no one who can give advice on cross-country issues.
As for cross-country itself, it is true that he is a traverser.
But before time travel, Cross Country had never participated in a war, and such mental illness was not explained in the original plot. How could Cross Country realize that he was unintentionally ill?
Thanks to Cross Country's continued practice of the Uzumaki clan's spiritual arts, his spiritual energy far exceeds that of ordinary people.
Otherwise, during the half-month of hard training, even if his mental energy for cross-country training was different from ordinary people, the final result would probably be his mental breakdown.
However, a disease must be treated, and putting it off all the time is not an option.
Although Cross Country is practicing the fine arts of the Uzumaki clan, there will definitely be no benefit if his illness is prolonged.
Fortunately, when half a month of cross-country training was completed, what Shikaku had to deal with was basically over. In addition, half a month later, the Spring Festival was about to arrive. It was on this day that Shikaku summoned Shikaku. It was just that he saw some negative emotions in Shikoku's eyes. Lujiu, who was smart and had a high emotional intelligence, then Know.
Cross-country, it’s time to take a good rest and have a perfect vacation during the Chinese New Year!
