Chapter 329 The Konoha Youngsters Return to the Ninja World
Uchiha Mitsunaga stood before the crowd, his originally gentle expression now bearing a hint of seriousness!
"Your training in Sage Village is coming to an end. I'm preparing to send you back to the Ninja World!"
Upon hearing this, the many young geniuses became excited, after all, they had been away from home for more than three years.
"You have already mastered natural energy, but the natural energy in the ninja world is more than ten times scarcer than that of our ancestral planet. Therefore, after you return to the ninja world, you must persist in training in the Celestial Mode every day to adapt to mobilizing natural energy in a low-energy environment. This is a test of your training results."
All eyes were on Uchiha Mitsunori, who waited quietly for him to say what he would say next.
"Furthermore, our ancestral star and the Immortal Village are our top secrets. This is a secret that must never be known to the outside world. No matter who you are facing, even your closest relatives, you are absolutely not allowed to reveal a single word of it, understand?"
The dozen or so teenagers exchanged glances, clearly surprised by the request, but quickly responded in unison, "Understood!"
Uchiha Mitsunori looked at these young faces and nodded in satisfaction.
Then, he slowly turned around and snapped his fingers.
As he moved, streaks of black light emerged from his hands.
Like shooting stars in the night sky, they quickly intertwined. These lights swirled and intertwined in the air, eventually forming a massive black portal.
The portal unfolded rapidly on the ground, its edges shimmering with a faint golden light, exuding a mysterious and profound aura.
As chakra was injected, the portal grew larger and larger, eventually forming a two-meter-high spatial passage. Behind the portal, the outline of the Water Kingdom's palace could be vaguely seen.
"Let's get ready to go!"
Uchiha Mitsunori stepped aside to make way and calmly said, "After returning to the ninja world, report to your respective clans or Hokage according to the normal procedure, saying that you have been training in the 'secret place' for the past seven months."
"Understood, Professor Sanfeng!"
Upon hearing this, Hinata Hyuga nodded slightly, then raised her hand and carefully adjusted the collar of her light purple dress. The Hyuga clan had many rules, and she was afraid of being impolite in front of her father.
Yamanaka Ino stood to the side, fixing her makeup in front of a small mirror.
She glanced at Uchiha Mitsumine furiously, a faint sense of melancholy rising in her heart: After returning to the ninja world, she would probably find it difficult to see Mitsumine-sensei again!
Hana Inuzuka crouched down, gently stroking the head of the ninja dog beside her, and softly instructed, "We're back in the ninja world now, so be a good boy/girl and don't run off!"
The ninja dog, Haimaru, seemed to understand its owner's words. It wagged its tail happily and barked, its excited appearance making people smile.
A dozen or so young boys and girls dressed in brand-new ninja uniforms, carrying ninja tool bags filled with ninja tools and training notes, stood neatly in front of the spatial gate.
Their eyes held both anticipation for the ninja world and reluctance to leave the Sage Village, as well as a hint of nervousness at having "achieved their goals."
After all, in the eyes of everyone in the ninja world, they had only been separated for a little over seven months.
However, those seven months felt like an eternity to them.
Because they have spent three whole years in the Immortal Village!
The growth they experienced over those three years was beyond the imagination of most people. In that secluded place, they underwent countless challenges and trials, constantly breaking through their own limits and surpassing their own boundaries.
They are no longer the same as they were before; they have been reborn and become true powerhouses.
Looking at these energetic young men, Uchiha Mitsunori felt a surge of satisfaction and said softly, "Let's go. Your families are waiting outside!"
Upon hearing this, the boys all smiled excitedly.
They entered the portal one by one, each step seemingly impatient.
As their figures gradually disappeared, Yamanaka Ino deliberately lagged behind.
When she realized that she and her teacher, Uchiha Mitsunori, were all around her.
She suddenly rushed over like a gust of wind and tightly grasped Mr. Sanfeng's arms.
Before Mr. Sanfeng could react, she quickly kissed his lips, and then, like a startled deer, ran swiftly into the portal.
Uchiha Mitsunori stood there blankly for a long time before he came to his senses.
He smiled helplessly, gently wiping the lipstick stain from his lips, and muttered to himself, "That little Ino is really quite mischievous and adorable!"
Finally, Uchiha Mitsunori stepped into the portal.
......
At the same time, in a side hall of the Water Kingdom's palace, the atmosphere was unusually heavy.
Minato Namikaze and Kushina Uzumaki stood side by side, their figures standing out prominently in the side hall.
Kushina's gaze kept drifting towards the door, and she finally couldn't help but mutter softly, "It's been over seven months, and there's still no news. Naruto, that kid, he's always causing trouble. I wonder if he's training properly over there..."
Minato Namikaze stood quietly beside Kushina, his hand gently resting on the back of her hand, as if to convey some strength and comfort to her.
He said softly, "Kushina, don't worry. Since Lord Mimine is taking the children with him, he will definitely take good care of them. Besides, although Naruto is mischievous, he is also very smart. I believe he will definitely gain something from his training."
Besides Minato Namikaze and Kushina Uzumaki, several other high-ranking members of the clan were also present in the side hall.
Some sat, some stood, and each of them wore a complex expression—a mixture of concern for the children and worry about the unknown.
Hiashi Hyuga sat upright in a chair, his gaze fixed on the ground, a deep longing hidden in the depths of his eyes.
Nara Shikaku leaned against the window, holding a document in his hand, but he didn't turn a single page for a long time.
His thoughts had already drifted far away, his heart filled with worry for his son, Shikamaru.
Just then, a slight spatial fluctuation suddenly came from outside the main hall.
Everyone immediately looked up and gazed towards the doorway.
A dozen or so familiar figures walked toward them.
Naruto's eyes lit up the moment he saw Minato Namikaze and Kushina, and he ran over quickly.
"Mother, Father! I miss you so much!"
Naruto ran while shouting loudly.
When he ran up to Kushina, he opened his arms without hesitation and hugged her waist.
"Mom, training over there was tiring, but I learned a lot of amazing moves. When I get home, I'm going to show you!"
Kushina's eyes instantly welled up with tears. She wrapped her arms around Naruto tightly, gently stroking his hair. "Naruto, it's so good to be back... Mom missed you so much. You've grown so much! Did you eat well wherever you were? When you come home, Mom will make you your favorite ramen!"
Minato Namikaze stood to the side, watching the mother and son embrace, and patted Naruto on the shoulder: "Welcome back, Naruto. It seems you have indeed grown a lot."
"Father, I miss you so much..."
Hinata Hyuga spotted Hiashi Hyuga from afar, paused involuntarily for a moment, then quickly resumed her steps and slowly walked towards Hiashi Hyuga.
When she approached Hiashi Hyuga, her voice was as gentle as ever: "Father, I'm back."
Upon hearing Hinata Hyuga's voice, Hiashi Hyuga slowly stood up from his seat and carefully examined her.
The timid little girl she once was has grown up quite a bit. Her back is straight, and her eyes hold a newfound determination.
A complex mix of emotions welled up in Hiashi Hyuga's heart. He felt gratified by his daughter's growth, but also a little guilty about his past strictness towards her.
In the end, he simply nodded slightly, his tone gentler than usual: "It's good to be back. Was the cultivation difficult? Were you injured?"
Hinata Hyuga gently shook her head and replied with a smile, "No, Father. I learned a lot during this training, and I will definitely be able to contribute more to the clan in the future."
Nara Shikamaru slowly walked up to Nara Shikaku, his steps somewhat hesitant.
He scratched his head somewhat awkwardly, his eyes darting around, and said in a slightly guilty tone, "Father, I'm back."
Nara Shikaku was focused on the documents in his hands when he heard Nara Shikamaru's voice.
He slowly raised his head, revealing a faint sense of satisfaction in his voice: "Yes, Shikamaru, you've grown quite a bit taller and matured a lot too."
Nara Shikamaru breathed a slight sigh of relief after hearing his father's words.
He smiled somewhat sheepishly: "Hehe, it's probably because of my cultivation."
Nara Shikaku put down the documents in his hand, crossed his arms, raised an eyebrow, and asked, "So, you haven't been slacking off in your training, have you?"
Upon hearing this, Nara Shikamaru sighed helplessly and shook his head. "No way, Father, I'm very serious. But training is really troublesome..."
Nara Shikaku couldn't help but laugh when he saw Nara Shikamaru's expression.
He gently tapped Nara Shikamaru's forehead: "You brat, this is a rare opportunity. But it's good that you're back. I'll make you your favorite mackerel when we get home."
Nara Shikamaru's eyes lit up instantly when he heard the words "mackerel," and he broke into a happy smile.
Kurama Yakumo walked up to Kurama Unkai and handed him a scroll: "Father, this is a notebook I kept during my training on the use of spiritual power. Please take a look and see if there's anything I can use."
Kurama Murakumo took the scroll, looking at his daughter's composed demeanor, his heart filled with pride: "Good, good, Yakumo has grown up, even more impressive than her father was back then!"
Kimimaro, Hozuki Suigetsu, Chojuro, Karatachi Hachiya, Yamanaka Ino, Tenten, Inuzuka Hana, and others also chatted with their families, filling the hall with the warmth of reunion...
