Naruto : Minato back to the past

The atmosphere in the box was cheerful.

Everyone's face was filled with smiles. Although everyone present was almost the same age, with an age difference of less than two years, before the war, there was little interaction between them.

A war that affected the entire ninja world and even the world forced these boys and girls to go to the battlefield in advance. Under the baptism of war, they underwent transformation and established a deep friendship with each other.

Among this group, Minato naturally seemed a little special. After all, everything he had achieved so far was not like a child of this age.

Often, the more outstanding a person is, the easier it is to be isolated. In fact, it is just the self-righteousness of some geniuses. The companions around you will of course feel pressure because of your excellence, but this pressure often comes from the hearts of some people.

In Minato's heart, he never took excellence as a matter of course. Everything he did was just to protect everything he cherished. Although he was excellent, he was not arrogant.

There was always an unspeakable magic in him that made people feel comfortable and become his companions.

"Cheers!"

This group of 11 or 12-year-old boys and girls clinked their glasses around the table, and the glasses were filled with drinks of various colors.

Minors cannot drink alcohol, and even the owner of the barbecue restaurant will not sell them alcohol.

After clinking their glasses, everyone sat back in their seats. Nawaki looked at everyone with a smile and said, "We will always be good friends, but... I will not hold back in the "Chunin Exam" in a few days, so you'd better be prepared."

"Senior Nawaki, try your best, we won't be defeated so easily." Mikoto, who has always been gentle, chuckled. Minato knew that she had a kind of rebelliousness in her bones that was not inferior to that of boys.

She said this, not to brag, Nawaki's strength is among the best among his peers, but in the previous battle, Mikoto opened the Sharingan, which should not be underestimated.

Kushina on the side showed her true colors. She put one foot on her seat, clenched one arm into a fist, and said with full of fighting spirit: "That's right, it's just a fight, who's afraid of who, I will let you all witness my strength, Dattebane!"

As long as she was a little excited, she would end her words with a strange ending.

Everyone was stunned when they saw her like this .

Minato also looked at her with a little surprise and said: "Kushina, are you going to take part in the Chunin Exam too?"

"Yes, what's wrong?" Kushina asked back.

"Nothing, it's okay."

Minato said. He originally thought that due to Kushina's special status, the village's high-level officials should try to avoid her from participating in battles and missions.

And now Kushina can participate in the Chunin Exam, without a doubt, with the permission of Sandaime.

"Don't you want me to take part in the Chunin Exam?" Seeing the strangeness in Minato's expression, Kushina frowned slightly.

Minato quickly explained, "It's not like that, it's just that you didn't tell me before, so..."

He couldn't think of a good excuse for a while. Under Kushina's gaze, Minato's forehead was almost sweating.

Fortunately, Mikoto laughed and said, "This guy is naturally concerned about you and is afraid that you will get hurt. After all, everyone is very strong."

Kushina heard this, as if stimulated, and jumped up directly, saying, "I'm not afraid, I must become a Chunin!"

"Uh" Mikoto laughed awkwardly.

Minato could only agree with a faint smile. He was not worried about Kushina's strength at all.

Although he didn't practice with Kushina after returning to the village, in the past few days of contact, in addition to ninjutsu, Minato could clearly observe that her power had made great progress compared to before.

There is no doubt that Kushina is also a genius. It is not easy for her to make such progress without any guidance and performing escort tasks every day.

The most important thing is that, in Minato's sensor, Kushina's chakra volume has increased by almost half compared to six months ago.

Girls' physical development is earlier than boys', and Kushina, who is in the growth period and has inherited the blood of the Uzumaki clan, has an amazing growth rate of chakra.

"Speaking of which, "sir" Minato doesn't have to take the exam."

Beside Minato, Nawaki teased. The former has long been a special jonin, and now everyone in this room is just a temporary ninja. In terms of the relationship between superiors and subordinates, this is indeed the right way to address Minato.

This teasing caused everyone to echo, even Mikoto joined in.

Kushina didn't, but she was secretly competing with him.

Minato's mouth twitched, and he didn't know how to deal with it.

"Puff."

Seeing his embarrassment, several girls present couldn't help but laugh out loud.

"It seems that you are not completely without weaknesses." Nawaki laughed.

Minato knew this was his character, but since Nawaki mentioned the Chunin Exam, he suddenly had an idea in his mind.

He remembered that he might be able to learn something about the Senju clan from Nawaki.

"Senior Nawaki, since the Chunin Exam is coming soon, how about we learn from each other in the next few days?" Minato suddenly said.

Hearing this, Nawaki was stunned for a moment, but he smiled and said, "Okay, I'd love to, but I'm not your opponent, so this is not a competition."

Everyone knows that Minato killed a Jonin from an enemy country on the battlefield. Among his peers, only Uchiha Yoruki can fight with him.

"Then it's a promise, tomorrow morning, the seventh training ground." Minato smiled faintly and said.

"Okay!" Nawaki agreed immediately.

When it comes to the Chunin Exam, everyone in the box has a different look.

Everyone is secretly competing in their hearts, and obviously no one wants to fail in the Chunin Exam.

Minato knows that the Chunin Exam is not just about strength.

However, this Chunin Exam itself is a little special, because most of the exams are signed up in the form of teams, but this time, it seems to be set as an individual battle.

This is the time period before and after the war, each ninja village will decide according to special circumstances.

The cheerful atmosphere is always short-lived, and after the gathering, everyone dispersed.

The companions left in a hurry, and everyone should be stepping up their special training for the Chunin Exam.

Minato sent Kushina to her doorstep. Both of them are too young now, and the village leaders will not agree to let them live together for the time being.

However, the former did not care. He believed that it would not take long for him to prove himself. At that time, under his protection, Kushina would be able to participate in various tasks as a normal ninja.

He had always done this before.

Looking at Kushina's back as she left, the moonlight just happened to fall on her back, stretching her shadow very long.

"I believe in your strength, you will definitely have no problem in the Chunin Exam!" Suddenly, Minato shouted.

Kushina trembled when she heard this, then turned her pretty face and smiled and responded: " Dattebane!"

Then, the girl walked into the house with a smile. Watching her return home safely, Minato left.
