Naruto: Son of the Fourth Hokage

"Aincrad, huh? Sounds good."

The Sky Ninja Village once presented Konoha with a floating city as a token of friendship, personally escorted by Shinno, the previous leader, along with hundreds of ninjas.

Although there were some minor misunderstandings and friction during the gifting process, after a friendly exchange of fists, Shinno entrusted everything to Konoha.

According to insiders, Shinno left a will: "My treasure? Go find it if you want it, I've left everything there!"

So the Konoha ninjas rushed to the floating city Ankor Bandian and took over everything he had.

Since the original floating city's architectural aesthetics were too bizarre and it had been damaged in battle, Minato sent people to repair and transform it.

When the new floating city was completed, Minato suggested giving it a new name. Then Naruto suggested Aincrad, which was unanimously approved by Tsunade, Jiraiya, Shikaku, and others, without giving the dear Fourth Hokage a chance to nominate.

For no other reason than it was short, shorter is better!

The new floating city naturally no longer used the so-called Dark Chakra to create Zero Tails as an energy source, but used its principle to create a Chakra storage device, which was actually similar to the role of Zero Tails, also serving as the floating city's Energy Core.

As for the source of Chakra, a small part was contributed by some ninjas every day, and most of it was exchanged with the Nine Tails for delicious food when he was in a good mood.

From half a year ago to the present, the stored Chakra is probably enough for Aincrad to float in the sky for half a month, of course, without using the Chakra cannon.

Don't underestimate this time, it's enough to fight the Fourth War many times.

And now, with the current-limited version of the Dragon Vein on Naruto's body as a stable source of Chakra, it can provide the equivalent of squeezing dry the Chakra of more than a hundred Kakashis every day, which is quite considerable in the long run.

In this way, Naruto signed a long-term Chakra supply contract with the village. With Minato's style, he gave a price that neither harmed the village's interests nor treated Naruto unfairly.

So, Naruto had an extra considerable income: "Would you say I'm doing a new energy business?"

Naruto was in a good mood and planned to treat his friends to a meal. After all, everyone had worked so hard waiting in Loulan for so long. Judging from Old Dad's meaning, it seemed that they had all gone voluntarily, without even asking for mission rewards.

...

"Cheers!" *12

The Konoha Twelve Xiaoqiang raised their glasses together and drank the juice in their hands.

Naruto originally planned to invite Team 7 and Team 8, but happened to meet the others, so he simply invited them all together. Anyway, even if you add them all up, they might not be able to eat as much as his own wife.

While various ingredients were still being grilled, everyone chatted.

Perhaps because they hadn't seen each other for too long, Sakura rarely argued with Ino: "It's rare for everyone from our class to get together. The last time everyone was present was during the Chunin Exams, right?"

"Yeah, after that, everyone has been busy with their own missions and training, and it's rare to have free time at the same time." Tenten propped her cheek with one hand and flipped the barbecue with the other.

Shikamaru still looked listless: "Especially during this time, the number of missions has increased, it's so troublesome."

"Isn't your mission to accompany Temari shopping?" Ino joked, "What's so hard about that?"

Since the Chunin Exams hosted by Sunagakure Village, Temari has gradually become the person in charge of liaison between Konoha and Sand Hidden, similar to a diplomat, and often comes to Konoha on business trips.

Originally, the person in charge on the Konoha side was Shikamaru's Old Dad, Shikaku, but due to Jiraiya's irresponsible behavior, many affairs fell on the heads of Shikaku and Inoichi and others.

The so-called big fish eat small fish, and small fish eat shrimp. Shikaku, who was overwhelmed, gradually handed over some aspects of the matter to Shikamaru, including the reception of envoys from Sunagakure Village.

Temari and Shikamaru can be said to have become acquainted without a fight, and after that, the number of contacts increased...

Hearing what Ino said, most of the friends present also knew what was going on.

Naruto, seeing his listless appearance, taunted, "Temari is already a Jonin, Shikamaru, you still need to work harder."

Shikamaru, seeing the interested expressions of the others, especially the girls, wisely chose not to respond, but instead shifted the topic reasonably:

"Hey, Choji, isn't that meat ready yet?"

"Munch~" Choji stuffed a pile of half-cooked barbecue into his mouth, saying unclearly, "Some meat is only delicious when it's not fully cooked."

"It's because you're so gluttonous that you're so... plump!" Ino avoided Choji's forbidden word; after being teammates for so long, they understood each other well.

"No one can stop a member of the Akimichi Clan from putting food in their mouth." Choji selectively forgot Sakura's dark cuisine, and that fat man from Kusagakure Village covered in stinky sweat.

"Sigh~" Ino sighed, and began to complain to the girls about her two lazy, gluttonous teammates and her chain-smoking teacher, "You guys are so lucky."

Hinata listened quietly, not saying much. She thought her teammates were all pretty good, and so was her teacher. That figure wearing ninja attire, with long red hair tied into a single ponytail, was heroic and her object of admiration.

Sakura smiled demurely, she couldn't be more satisfied with her two teammates, and her teacher's biggest flaw was that he liked to read inappropriate books, and she had to be careful that he didn't corrupt Sasuke...

No, if he corrupted Sasuke, wouldn't that be a good thing? Sakura looked at Sasuke's handsome profile and fell into thought.

Only Tenten and Ino empathized, holding their chins in their hands: "I'd rather my teammates and teacher were a little lazier. Every day from dawn till midnight, constantly training in taijutsu or something, I'm almost forgetting that I'm a girl..."

Tenten said with a mournful face, "If Neji wasn't a little more normal, I'd go crazy."

"Is it that exaggerated?" Sakura asked, she often stayed up from dawn till midnight when she was cramming medical knowledge.

Tenten didn't speak, and pointed in one direction.

The others turned their heads to look, and saw Rock Lee hanging weights on his arms at some point, his hand shaking every time he picked up food, struggling to get the food into his mouth, muttering things like, "Even when eating, I can't relax, I have to catch up with Gan, Wen, and Cui, the three seniors."

Since experiencing the battle against the Sky Ninja Village, Rock Lee fought alongside all the other Melon Heads for the first time, and personally experienced the gap between himself and Gan, Wen, and Cui.

So, in order to carry out his ninja way, Rock Lee began a practice that could be described as self-abuse for normal people, training almost while walking, sitting, and lying down.

If the teacher and teammates were all like this... Sakura and Ino gave Tenten a look of sympathy.

Sakura remembered a piece of information: "Speaking of teachers, Tenten, didn't you become a disciple of the Hokage?"
