The Land of Waves was now vastly different, thanks to the leadership of Naruto's shadow clones.
Naruto had tasked Zabuza with forming a ninja team, laying the groundwork for a future independent ninja village.
Zabuza was incredibly enthusiastic about this, treating it as his own personal mission and even forgetting his original plan to return to Kirigakure.
Kana, Yukimi, and Ryuka were also busy, establishing a ninja academy and selecting suitable children from the local population for training.
Gato's group had officially changed its name to the Menma Group. All the illegal businesses like smuggling and drug trafficking had been abandoned. Instead, they had increased their fish transport operations, connecting trade between the Land of Water and the Land of Fire.
Overall, the Menma Group's market value had decreased somewhat, but they had successfully cleaned up their image.
However, the black market dealings hadn't completely stopped. After all, it was also a good source of information.
Raimon was mainly in charge of the business affairs.
Naruto found him in Konoha and whisked him away to the Land of Waves, casually handing him a design for a lightning train.
Raimon was just an ordinary person and couldn't resist, so he had no choice but to accept.
Naruto only handled the broad strokes of these matters, leaving everything else to the people under him.
He had more important tasks. Shadow clones were responsible for training, while his main body was in charge of tending to the flowers, nurturing Yukimi, Kana, and Tsunami, making them even more radiant.
Among the women, only Tsunami was content to be an ordinary person.
He was also at ease with Inari being placed in the ninja academy, and she had been helping Naruto manage the estate.
Yukimi, Kana, Karin, and Ryuka all trained alongside Naruto's shadow clones, also taking on the responsibility of teaching the ninja academy students.
Ryuka had probably been persuaded by Kana, or perhaps she knew there was no hope of returning to Kusagakure, and so she resigned herself to staying.
However, for the time being, she wasn't ready to be Naruto's woman. Naruto didn't force the issue either; it was only a matter of time.
Nothing major happened in the following days. After leaving the hospital, Naruto moved in with Yugao.
Her place was next to Kurenai Yuhi's, and the houses were built the same way, with connecting balconies.
During the day, Naruto continued his taijutsu training with Yugao. His displayed strength gradually reached the level of a Chunin elite.
Unfortunately, at night, Yugao refused to sleep with him, and they slept in separate rooms.
Helpless, Naruto could only shed a tear and leave behind a Wind Style shadow clone, while his main body went to the Land of Waves to tend to his flowers.
Finally, after the graduation exam, the day arrived for the team assignments and meeting with the Jonin instructors.
That Mizuki-sensei?
I heard he went to the Third Hokage's house himself to steal the Scroll of Seals, was caught on the spot, and taken to the Konoha prison.
In the classroom, most people were excited, looking forward to the life of performing missions after becoming ninjas.
Unfortunately, they didn't know that only nine people in the entire class could become official genin.
"Haha, it's finally time for me to show off my skills. Don't hold me back, Akamaru!"
Inuzuka Kiba put Akamaru on his head, looking full of energy.
With Naruto gone, Kiba was the most 'imposing' person in the class.
"Woof, woof woof!" Akamaru barked in agreement.
Naruto happened to walk over, poked Akamaru's back, and said to Kiba, "I remember your secret technique involves Akamaru peeing for marking, right? You always put it on your head like that. Did you wash Akamaru after it peed?"
"..." Kiba's lips twitched, and the enthusiasm he'd just felt instantly vanished.
The other students in the class burst into laughter, pointing at Kiba and Akamaru. Some even made disgusted faces.
If Naruto hadn't brought it up, they wouldn't have thought of it.
"Baka Naruto!" Kiba immediately slammed his hand on the table, grabbing Naruto by the chest and shouting, "Are you looking for a fight?"
"Woof woof!" Akamaru stood up on Kiba's head, also baring its teeth at Naruto.
Naruto shrugged, and before he could say anything, several killing intents rushed towards him.
Oh no, wait, they were rushing towards Kiba.
Even without turning around, Naruto knew it was the girls in the class who liked him, including Sakura and Ino, glaring at Kiba.
Inuzuka Kiba's body trembled slightly, and after swallowing hard, he subtly loosened his grip on Naruto's clothes.
He pretended to be nonchalant, saying, "Forget it, today's a big day, I can't be bothered to argue with you."
"So, did you wash or not?" Naruto asked 'curiously.'
Kiba's expression stiffened; he looked like he was about to lose it completely.
"Never mind, it doesn't matter if you don't answer. We probably won't be on the same team anyway." Naruto patted Kiba on the shoulder, his eyes filled with pity, and then turned to leave.
"I'll kill you!!"
Kiba couldn't take such provocation. He jumped up on the spot and lunged at Naruto.
Naruto chuckled, sidestepping to avoid Kiba's attack.
"Hey, can you guys stop messing around? If you want to fight, go outside!" A classmate immediately complained.
After all, the classroom was really too small. If they just messed around a little, it would be easy to affect others.
But Inuzuka Kiba didn't care about that at all. He snorted, "You're pretty quick, huh? In that case, Four Legs Technique!"
Kiba concentrated a large amount of chakra in his limbs, prostrating himself on the ground. His nails grew long and sharp, and fangs appeared at the corners of his mouth.
"Hey, hey, hey, are you kidding me?"
Seeing Kiba use his clan's secret technique, the surrounding classmates were all frightened, and they quickly dodged to the side.
"Ugh, this is such a pain!" Shikamaru yawned, formed hand seals, and whispered, "Shadow Imitation Technique!"
Shikamaru's shadow quickly stretched out and connected with Kiba's shadow.
"Success!" Shikamaru managed to restrain Kiba at the crucial moment.
He didn't want the classroom to turn into a chaotic mess; that would only complicate things further.
"Damn it, Shikamaru, don't stop me! I'm going to teach Naruto a lesson today!" Kiba struggled fiercely.
"Today is already our last class at school. I don't want to waste time because of you two. Seriously, you're such a pain," Shikamaru complained listlessly.
Kiba's struggles were fruitless, but he wasn't about to give up so easily. He growled, "Akamaru, it's up to you!"
"Woof!"
Akamaru understood, leaping from Kiba's head and launching a flurry of attacks toward Naruto.
"What the hell, you're serious!" Naruto was genuinely startled, and he slammed the desk in front of him up as a shield.
Naruto had blocked the attack, but others were still caught in the crossfire, and the scene immediately descended into chaos.
"Ah!"
A small, timid figure was jostled by the crowd and lost her footing, stumbling towards Naruto in panic.
Naruto reached out and caught her, pulling her into his arms.
However, because she was moving so fast, they collided.
Naruto lost his balance, and they both tumbled to the ground, their mouths colliding in a harsh kiss.
Although it hurt a little, Naruto licked his lips.
Mmm, sweet!
