The next day.

Naruto’s days continued to be filled with numerous D-Rank missions. Sakura listened to Naruto's advice and discussed with Kakashi how to start her training path as a Medical-nin.

After discussing this matter, Kakashi found a teacher for Sakura in the medical department, Yuu.

Yuu is a Medical-nin from the golden generation of Konoha, from the same period as Kakashi. Although the survival rate of Medical-nin was very high during that period, he is still one of the best Medical-nin to have survived until now.

Although not as famous as Tsunade, given the current situation, Kakashi couldn't possibly know where Tsunade was. As a Jonin, Yuu is more than capable of teaching Sakura.

"Kakashi, is this your student?" Yuu, dressed in a Medical-nin uniform, asked.

Sakura looked at Yuu nervously. Yuu was a man in his early twenties, about the same age as Kakashi. He was wearing a white Medical-nin uniform and a large Medical-nin hat on his head.

There was a big red cross printed on his chest, and there were several Medical-nin in the same uniform beside him who glanced at Kakashi.

"Nice to meet you. Please take care of me." Sakura bowed timidly and said, "My name is Haruno Sakura. Please guide me."

"Yo, Kakashi, your student is much more polite than you," Another Medical-nin, Kataka, stepped forward and said jokingly.

"Shut up." Kakashi replied, displaying his classic dead fish eye.

"I heard that Kakashi came with his disciples?" Another voice echoed in the medical department, and a Medical-nin named Sousui, wearing a white square cap, walked out.

"She's a cute girl, that's rare." The square-faced Medical-nin, Oton, also walked out of the consulting room.

"Is she joining our medical department?" One of the two Medical-nin, who were carrying a stretcher, stopped and turned to ask.

"That would be great." Hyakusa, the Medical-nin at the other end of the stretcher, said with a smile, " We've been short-handed lately, so this is a great help."

"Eh?" Sakura's face turned red. She didn't expect so many people to come forward and speak to her. She looked helplessly at Kakashi.

Kakashi reassured Sakura and said, "Don't be afraid, those guys are always like this. I've been injured so many times that I've gradually become familiar with these guys in the medical department."

Sakura nodded and began her training journey with the medical department in a daze.

However, Kakashi really doesn't have that much time to take care of three students. Sakura was left to the medical department, while Naruto is still doing a D-Rank missions, so there is no need to consider him for the time being.

The only person he is currently focusing on training is Sasuke. Perhaps it’s because they both possessed the Sharingan, but Kakashi paid considerable attention to Sasuke.

After all, there weren't many surviving Sharingan users. Obito's eye was functioning in Kakashi's body, allowing him to use it effectively.

At present, the only one who can be called Kakashi’s most beloved disciple is Sasuke.

While almost all members of Team 7 were busy training, a certain Konoha’s Shinobi who had slipped through the cracks of the Will of Fire education was napping on a hammock in the forest.

Since returning from the Land of Waves’ mission, Naruto had to pay the price for his recklessness, requiring him to complete twenty D-Rank missions alone before rejoining Team 7.

So far, including the cat-finding mission for Mrs. Yamanaka in the bamboo forest last night, he had completed a total of five D-Rank missions.

After that, he decided to take it easy.

“How long will it take to complete twenty missions? Why not just pay someone to do it?" Naruto muttered to himself as he lay in the hammock, gazing at the sky through the gaps in the leaves.

And that's exactly what he did. After taking a D-Rank trash-collecting mission in the Hokage Tower, he spends 50,000 ryo to hire a student from the Academy to do it for him.

"Well, poor Academy’s students with part-time jobs, I am really a great philanthropist of Konoha today." Naruto stretched and continued to lounge in his hammock.

He has completely given up now and doesn't care that the Konoha’s higher-ups know the fact that he can use Lava Release. It was impossible to keep it a secret, and Kakashi must have reported it long ago.

Of course, he also couldn't be bothered to hide the fact that he was rich.

He didn't care if there were any Anbu watching him, he just let himself go and lived freely. The village couldn't do anything about him, and all of Gato's wealth was stored in the system warehouse.

Even if the village wanted to investigate, there was no way to start. After all, making a small fortune from missions outside the village was common in Konoha.

Otherwise, with the meager income from mission rewards, except for the elite Shinobi of Konoha, those low-level Shinobi could not rely on that money to support their families.

‘I have to say, taking it easy is really comfortable.’

Naruto squinted his eyes slightly, and after an unknown amount of time, he slowly opened his eyes and vaguely saw a figure standing in front of him.

"Hinata? When did you get here?" Naruto was startled and coughed violently.

The girl in a light purple hooded coat was also startled by Naruto's reaction. She looked at him at a loss before averting her gaze.

[Kyubi's approval 2.3%]

The mechanical synthesized voice echoed in Naruto's mind, and he was momentarily stunned, ‘I hadn't done anything this time, so why has the favorability progress increased?’

"I returned to the village yesterday. Kurenai-sensei said we wouldn't be taking any missions during this period and told us to train and prepare for the Chunin Exams." Hinata said with a red face and her eyes tightly closed.

Her small body trembled slightly, and she seemed very nervous.

"Oh, so you're free now?" Naruto asked with a smile.

"Yeah." Hinata nodded.

"By the way, Hinata, how did you find me?" Naruto scratched his head and asked, "This place is quite remote."

"Byakugan." Hinata replied, looking a little embarrassed as she lowered her head.

"Oh, the Byakugan?" Naruto leaned in closer, curious, and clicked his tongue in wonder.

"N-Naruto-kun." Hinata leaned back slightly and closed her eyes to avoid Naruto's gaze, "There's nothing special to see."

"It’s quite pretty."

"Eh?" Hinata was surprised and opened her eyes wide in shock, looking at Naruto, "Naruto-kun, what did you say?"

"Upon closer look, the Byakugan is actually quite pretty," Naruto said with a smile.

"Yeah." Warmth spread through Hinata's heart. In truth, the other villagers in Konoha didn't have a good attitude toward the Hyuga Clan and saw the Byakugan as an ominous symbol.

Even within the Hyuga Clan, there were significant, unresolvable conflicts because of these eyes. The Caged Bird, that greenish tattoo…

"Hinata, wait for me here." Naruto suddenly ran off.

Hinata stood there in a daze, listening to Naruto's words, and for a moment, she didn't know what to do.

About half an hour later, Naruto finally came back with a large bundle on his back, which was bulging and seemed to contain a lot of things.

"Come on! I'll take you somewhere!" Naruto said, grabbing Hinata's hand and leading her away without further explanation.

‘Naruto-kun is holding my hand?’

Hinata suddenly felt dizzy and her face turned red again. She didn't even bother to ask where they were going, simply letting Naruto lead her forward.
