Being able to ignore other people's disgust and still approach them with a brazen face, such a thick skin is a rare talent.

"Long time no see. I thought you could become more serious, but I didn't expect that except for growing a little taller, there is no other progress!"

Haruno Sakura pressed the joints of her fingers with both hands, making crisp crackling sounds, and walked in with a smile on her face, looking eager to try, which made Naruto, who had a bruised face, tremble with fear.

The Konohamaru Army on the side just stayed away as if it had nothing to do with them.

"Sakura, you misunderstood. I just want the younger generation to understand the essence of ninjutsu!"

Looking at the approaching Sakura, Naruto quickly identified her.

"Oh, really?"

Sakura grabbed Naruto by the collar and lifted him up.

"In three years, you have grasped the essence of these obscene things?"

"How is that possible? I practice diligently every day and am much better than before."

Naruto smiled awkwardly and would never admit that he spent more time practicing harem techniques than practicing the Rasengan.

"Really?"

Sakura came forward and stared into Naruto's eyes with a look of disbelief on her face.

Looking at Sakura's face so closely, Naruto's face suddenly turned red and he was too nervous to speak.

"You must be lying. I'm so scared that I'm sweating!"

"No, I'm just sweating because it's so hot."

"Liar, you have now learned to lie blatantly. It seems that you have not yet realized your mistakes. I think it is necessary to give you appropriate punishment to make you wake up."

"I know I was wrong, please forgive me..."

Naruto didn't want to endure the heavy punch just now again. It was too painful.

"It doesn't seem sincere. How about I take your ribs off and arrange them into the shape of the word 'sorry'? That's how you admit your mistakes and correct them!"

"This is a horrible way to apologize. I'll die..."

Naruto thought he was lucky to see Sakura as soon as he came back, but he didn't expect that the gentle and lovely Sakura in his mind would become so violent.

Now Naruto just wants time to go back or wake up from his dream as soon as possible.

"If I persist in practicing every day, I will definitely be able to overcome this difficulty..."

Sakura loosened her hands and let Naruto collapse onto the ground.

"Forget it, you're just like that anyway, Sasuke is still better and he trains so hard, having him and me is enough for Team 7!"

"What did you say?"

Naruto, whose sore spot was touched, stood up quickly and shouted in dissatisfaction.

"How could I lose? Just wait and see, Sakura, I will definitely beat Sasuke down..."

"Sasuke is already a jonin, and you're still just a genin."

Sakura's words left Naruto speechless.

"Also, Hyuga Neji is also a jonin, Hinata, Lee, Tenten, Kiba, Shino, Ino, Choji, Shikamaru, and I are all chuunin now. You are the only one left behind!"

Sakura counted the names of her former companions on her fingers, and attacked Naruto nonchalantly, making him dejected.

Naruto was in despair and kept muttering things like "I'm the only one left". He didn't hear what Sakura said next, and didn't notice when she left. Only Konohamaru sighed and patted Naruto on the shoulder...

Kakashi Hatake also felt the noise not far away, and his subordinates' timely report made him understand what had happened.

His student has returned, and Kakashi wants to meet him, but he is temporarily held back by the work at hand.

Just as Kakashi was buried in his desk, a figure suddenly appeared at the open window behind him.

Kakashi was startled, but relaxed when he realized it was someone he knew.

"Kakashi, long time no see, your student, I am back now!"

"What's the matter with not returning it yet? Master Jiraiya, you are joking..."

Kakashi turned around.

"But I still hope you can go through the main entrance!"

"Don't take this little thing to heart!"

Jiraiya turned over and came in, taking a look at the furnishings inside.

"I've heard that Tsunade rebuilt the security department, and she's doing a pretty good job!"

"This is a genuine security unit, not just a..."

Kakashi smiled awkwardly.

"With the Uchiha clan gone, I never expected to see the revival of the Security Department."

Having a department dedicated to civil affairs can also greatly reduce the burden on the Hokage.

As the size of Konoha Village grows, the Hokage, his secretary, and his advisors alone will surely not be able to handle it, and it is only a matter of time before such a formal department is established.

"There are not many people in the Security Department building. Where did they go?"

"Isn't it time for the Chunin Exams again?"

"Ah, indeed."

It was around this time three years ago that Jiraiya returned to Konoha Village, but still failed to save the life of the third generation Sarutobi Hiruzen.

"Time flies! By the way, why don't I see Mizuki?"

"He's on vacation these days. He just came back from a long trip. Lady Tsunade asked him to rest for a few days."

“I see!”

Jiraiya nodded.

"I just saw his disciple Haruno Sakura on the road. I didn't expect that the little girl not only learned a powerful ninjutsu, but also became more violent. I really don't know where she learned it from. Mizuki is not such a person. Did I make a mistake?"

"Not only that, he also imitated that guy's sharp and merciless verbal violence perfectly. It's not just a matter of using fists!"

Kakashi was also helpless.

Jiraiya patted Kakashi's shoulder in understanding.

"Associating with the good becomes the good, associating with the bad becomes the bad. This is inevitable! You will have a hard time in the future."

The three most troublesome students were gathered in Class 7. As the teacher in charge, Kakashi Hatake felt a lot of pressure. It was the first time for him to make a team of students pass, but he didn't expect to get into such a big trouble.

Not only that, how to maintain the teacher's dignity in front of three increasingly powerful students is a very challenging task.

"Anyway, I'm sorry to bother you for the past three years! Since the death of the fourth generation in battle, there are so many young talents in the village..."

"You are too kind. Without Tsunade-sama and Jiraiya-sama, I don't know what would have happened..."

There are many famous Konoha jonin, but none of them are as impressive as the achievements they made in the Ninja World War.

The title of "Three Ninjas" is definitely not something that any young ninja can match.

Only Hatake Kakashi barely caught up to the end of the Third Ninja World War, and even so, he gained a great reputation.

As for the others, including Shuimu, even though they are strong, their deterrent power is still far inferior to that of these predecessors.
