The King Uzushiogakure's

Chapter 21's

Earlier.

"I previously met Hinata-chan first because I was summoned by Hokage-sama before, then after I came home from the Hokage Building who wanted to visit the grave of my parents decided to buy a flower for me to bring and I happened to buy the flower in Ino Shop. " Say Naruto.

Ino who heard that Hinata first knew him in advance added Naruto never drove him home Ino made jealous with Hinata.

"Hinata I won't lose to you. I will fight Naruto-kun. " Say Ino in your heart with high confidence to get Naruto.

Proceed.....

Hinata who heard Naruto's story was happy because she first knew Naruto and was closer to Naruto. That meant that he was a step ahead of Ino.

"Then I go home, guys, because I still have a practice schedule. See you tomorrow. " Naruto left the class.

After Naruto left everything became quiet and silent.

For Ino and Hinata to look at each other, like they were again investigating each other.

Sakura who saw this immediately mediated

"Hey how about we just go home. " Sakura said.

" Yes that's right, if it takes too long here it will feel troublesome. " Shikamaru said, who also understands this.

After that they disbanded and returned to their homes.

While Naruto is currently heading towards his residence to start a training schedule.

Every day, Naruto passes with practice and also sometimes he takes his time to be with his friends to be more familiar.

In accordance with his plan that he would not overemphasize his power to the public.

Two months later, Naruto became a normal student at the Academy. Currently he is playing shogi with his male friend who has a lazy nature but is quite smart. Who else if not Nara Shikamaru, Naruto's laziest friend of all.

He and Shikamaru were playing shogi in class during the break. Naruto always defeated Shikamaru in playing shogi so that shikamaru often invite him to play shogi at certain times, such as academy break hours.

"Let's Shikamaru don't you get tired of losing to me. " Naruto mocked Shikamaru.

"Cih troublesome, just watch out for you I'll beat. " Use Shikamaru with a little emotion who always loses in playing shogi with Naruto.

"Hahahaha, Shika if you win this time I will treat the children to one class for one full day no matter if he wants to buy anything. Hahaahaha. " Naruto said to Shikamaru.

The children who heard Naruto's words immediately turned their attention to Naruto and Shikamaru playing shogi. Although for them it is common because Naruto and Shikamaru always play during the break. But at this time Naruto said if he was defeated by Shikamaru then Naruto would buy them whatever they wanted and it was successful in attracting their attention.

"Are you sure Naruto?. " Say one of the boys in the class.

"I'll hold your word Naruto-kun. " Say one of the girls in the class.

"That's right, Come on Shikamaru we support you. Defeat him to make him kapok. " Say all the students in the class except those who always see Naruto and Shikamaru in playing Shogi, such as Ino, Hinata, Choji, Kiba, and Shino for Sakura is rarely with those she is busy just chasing Sasuke alone.

Sasuke or Uchiha Sasuke was quite arrogant and felt the most powerful in the class because he was a Uchiha one of the great Clans in Konoha and the founding Clan of Konoha with the first Hokage Clan the Senju Clan. Therefore he has no friends even who want to approach him was lazy when he saw his arrogance. Maybe if he does not have a handsome face he will be eliminated in the classroom.

"Come on Shika, beat me. Haha. " Challenge Naruto to Shikamaru.

"Cih troublesome only. " Shikamaru said as he listened to the shouts in the classroom.

"Hey Choji you think who's gonna win this time. " Kiba said to Choji who was eating next to him while paying attention to Naruto and Shikamaru's game.

"Naruto-kun will win. " Say Ino and Hinata who cut off Choji's speech.

"Naruto-kun is great. " Say Hinata.

"Cool again. " Say Ino.

Indeed Ino and Hinata always admired Naruto because they liked Naruto. Until sometimes they will argue about Naruto. Although Hinata is quite shy but when it comes to Naruto nervousness and embarrassment like missing anything else when dealing with rival Ino.

"See this Shikamaru, Haaaa Yap. I am indeed again Shikamaru, this is my hundredth victory Shikamaru. Hahahahahha, Hinata-chan, Ino-chan, Kiba, Shino and Choji as my celebration of my hundredth victory. How about we eat BBQ after the academy. " Say Naruto.

"Yes we'll eat BBQ after the academy. " Sorry Choji said when it comes to food.

"Dee' Naruto-kun. " Say Ino and Hinata.

"Well may I also be hungry yakan Shino. " Said Kiba who spoke to Shino. Shino nodded her head. Shino is very rarely talking even sometimes as if he does not have emotions. But he was also a pretty smart boy.

While the children in the class were very disappointed when Shikamaru lost because they missed a golden opportunity for them. What else when Naruto won and invited his friends to eat together.

They are not friends with Naruto. It was because they were banned by their parents on the grounds that Naruto was Naruto.

Unlike the parents of Skikamaru, Choji, Hinata, Ino, and, Kiba and Shino who initially do not care but after a month of befriending Naruto their children undergo a change in terms of their more mature thinking. What's more, Naruto's friends are the candidates for their respective Clan heads if it's time later. Therefore, their parents instead allowed friends with Naruto, even sometimes when Naruto was in the House they were always friendly to Naruto.

For example, when Naruto visited Shikamaru's house at the invitation of Shikamaru to play Shogi together and at that time Naruto was able to defeat Shikamaru in playing Shogi plus Naruto also gave advice and advice to Shikamaru. Even at that time Shikamaru's parents felt that what Naruto said was very logical and reasonable and that's where Shikamaru's parents began to like when Shikamaru can be friends with Naruto.

As another example, when Naruto invited Hinata to his house to train together because Hinata had seen Naruto practice Taijutsu, Hinata asked Naruto to train him in Taijutsu and give Hinata advice and coincidentally at that time Hinata's father was out of the residence for a day but without Naruto and Hinata realized at midday Hinata's father had gone home and at the time passed Hinata's residence, hinata's father noticed that his first daughter was training with a young man he might know. At first Hinata's father would ignore him but at the time Naruto gave direction and advice to Hinata that made Hinata's father amazed at the direction and advice given Naruto and after a few days of ability Hinata is growing rapidly. From then on Hinata's father liked Naruto who was able to act mature and be able to guide Hinata who himself was very rare. Yes, it can be said in the mind of Hinata's father wants if his daughter can be with Naruto.

There may be many more reasons their parents liked Naruto. But they just cover it up from others.

After the game shogi Naruto and Shikamaru finished came their Master Iruka.
