After the negotiations concluded, Konoha released the prisoners of Sunagakure Village, including Gaara and his siblings.
The fact that Gaara had recognized relatives in Konoha was only known to the family and was not made public.
The outside world only knew that the Hokage's family had a good relationship with them. After all, the three children were the offspring of the deceased Fourth Kazekage, so it was only natural for the Hokage to take extra care of them.
Temari and Kankuro also found it difficult to accept this, but seeing their younger brother gradually changing from the terrifying killing machine he once was back into a normal person with emotions, they were genuinely grateful to the Fourth Hokage's family. Of course, unlike Gaara, who had lacked love since childhood, it was unlikely that they would follow Gaara to recognize relatives.
As the One-Tail Jinchuriki, Gaara naturally had to return to Sunagakure Village with the team and could not stay in Konoha.
Before leaving, Minato and Naruto each gave him a Kunai, waiting for the Akatsuki to come and capture the Tailed Beasts in the future, to teach them what team fights and single captures were all about.
Whether it was because of the added seal or because of excessive consumption, Shukaku had been sleeping and had not yet woken up. Every time Naruto asked the Nine Tails about Shukaku's condition, he would casually mock the trash with only one tail.
Gaara slept soundly for a few days. Although his dark circles under his eyes had not disappeared, his temper was getting better and better. Naruto once suspected that his previous violent appearance was due to neurasthenia caused by lack of sleep.
Gaara said that he liked Konoha very much, and he hoped to change Sunagakure with his own strength, so that Sunagakure could be as prosperous, harmonious, and friendly as Konoha.
With the end of the peace talks, life in Konoha gradually returned to calm, followed by a mountain of commissioned tasks.
During this incident, Konoha's strength was obvious to all. Not only the Land of Fire, but also merchants and nobles from other countries trusted the Konoha brand more.
In the end, Minato was stamping documents so much that his hand was cramping. It was truly painful and joyful.
Of course, the ninjas below were not idle either, and even the Genin, including Naruto, received their respective missions.
Minato also took this opportunity to formally incorporate Haku and Karin into the Konoha ninja squad.
Thus, Team 11 was established, with Kurenai Yuhi as the Sensei Jonin, and Haku, Karin, and... Kurama Yakumo as the Genin.
The Kurama Clan was once a major clan in Konoha, possessing a Kekkei Genkai that could control other people's five senses, and could transform the damage caused in the Genjutsu world into reality.
Influencing reality through spiritual energy is something that only Mangekyo can do. Ordinary Sharingan can also influence reality with Izanagi, but it costs one eye each time.
Perhaps because the ability was too perverted, only one person with Kekkei Genkai would appear in the Kurama family every few generations, and their physique would be very poor.
In this generation, Kurama Yakumo, the daughter of the Kurama Clan leader, awakened the Kekkei Genkai. Because her physique was too poor, even ordinary Taijutsu training was difficult to complete, so she did not attend the ninja school, but hired Kurenai Yuhi, who was proficient in Genjutsu, as a private tutor.
Although many Naruto fans joked that Konoha's strongest Genjutsu ninja was defeated by Itachi in one move, that was because Itachi's Genjutsu level was too high. Aside from that kind of cheating, Kurenai was indeed the most outstanding Genjutsu ninja in Konoha.
During the process of teaching Kurama Yakumo, Kurenai discovered that a monster called Ido was produced in Yakumo's body. When it went berserk, it would drag the surrounding people into the Genjutsu world and indiscriminately attack them. Its ultimate goal was to dominate Yakumo's will, and then... then it was sealed by Minato.
What a miserable monster, so Kurama Yakumo naturally became Kurenai's disciple. Although she was lacking in Taijutsu, Kurenai couldn't withstand her Genjutsu if she went all out.
Until now, when Minato was considering which team to add Haku and Karin to, he remembered Kurenai and Yakumo, and then formed Team 11.
Although Haku's strength was a bit wasted as a Genin, he could only be regarded as a wandering ninja before. Zabuza, a rogue ninja, couldn't take him to participate in the Chunin Exams, right?
There is also a detail here: Zabuza's Forehead Protector is the Forehead Protector of Kirigakure Village, without a line drawn in the middle, which means that he does not think of himself as a rogue ninja from the bottom of his heart.
[Zabuza: Although I assassinated the Mizukage, escaped from the village, and took away the Executioner's Blade, I am not a rogue ninja.]
So Haku is now a Genin. He doesn't care much about this, and even thinks that this is just right so he can wait for his teammates to get ready, and then participate in the Chunin Exams together.
Karin has been by Kushina's side for some time, and has been working hard to learn Sealing Technique and Water Release Ninjutsu. Her personality has also gradually approached Kushina under her influence, from her clothes, to her personality, to her Ninjutsu, she is becoming more and more like a biological daughter.
Thus, the team with the highest appearance in Konoha was formed. Three beauties and one handsome man are quite eye-catching. The point is that the most handsome one is actually the handsome man...
Team 11 is temporarily doing some ordinary D-Rank Mission in Konoha to accumulate experience and cultivate tacit understanding, not to mention that Naruto has received an interesting mission.
And the beginning of the mission was—to watch a movie.
Team 7 arrived together at a place called Paradise Mountain Shopping Street. Similar to Tanzaku Street, it was like a small town, and its most distinctive feature was a movie theater.
Kakashi handed Naruto three movie tickets and said, "You guys go watch the movie first. The actress playing the female lead is the target we need to protect this time. I need to go meet the client first."
Watching Kakashi leave, Naruto, Sasuke, and Sakura entered the theater to watch the movie. Sakura held onto Sasuke's arm as they walked in. It was unclear whether Sasuke didn't resist or was unable to resist.
Naruto followed behind, feeling quite novel to watch a movie in this world for the first time. It was a pity that Hinata also had a mission, otherwise, it would have been perfect to bring her along to watch it together.
The movie was in black and white, and the plot was roughly about a princess who, in order to save her country and people, led a few loyal subordinates, overcoming obstacles and enduring many hardships, and finally defeating the Demon King.
The most ridiculous thing was that at the end, the princess used colorful Chakra in the black and white movie to defeat the Demon King. It was the first time Naruto had seen a black and white movie with added color effects.
As the movie ended, Sakura excitedly said, "The movie was so wonderful, a certain male actor was so handsome, and so on."
Finally, she didn't forget to add, "Of course, Sasuke is the most handsome..."
Sasuke said faintly, "A boring story."
Naruto glanced at him, "Boring? Then why were you watching so intently just now?"
Sasuke's ears turned a little red, and he argued, "That was... that was to gather necessary information for the mission!"
Naruto was too lazy to argue with this stubborn tsundere. Looking at the words "Princess Fūun's Great Adventure" written on the GG sign outside, he fell into deep thought. This mission seemed a bit of a pit
