Chapter 79 The Real and Fake Naruto? (Seeking First Subscription)

"Oh, my name is Hawking, and I'm also one of those who signed a contract with your Mount Myōboku."

Stephen Hawking floated opposite Gamabunta and greeted him with a sunny smile.

It's impossible for him not to be sunny. Now that he's embodying Naruto, Naruto's sunny personality will also influence him, naturally affecting his tone of voice and actions.

"Hawking? Kid, you're not trying to trick me with some kind of transformation magic, are you?!"

Gamabunta blew a large smoke ring at Hawking, his eyes full of suspicion.

Aside from their different faces, this kid really looks a lot like Naruto, making it hard for him to believe that the other person isn't Naruto.

The main point is that Mount Myōboku did not sign a psychic contract with someone named Stephen Hawking.

"Boss Toad, I'm really not Naruto, or rather, not entirely."

Hawking shrugged.

He didn't intend to hide his identity from Gamabunta, because he knew he'd be exposed sooner or later.

The world is different, and these toads aren't stupid. If he tries to use the toads to fight in the future, he'll eventually find out. It's better to resolve this beforehand than to cause misunderstandings during the battle.

Moreover, after he actually managed to summon the toad, some new doubts arose in his mind.

So, if he could summon Gamabunta, does that mean Mount Myōboku existed during the hour he was loading?

If it exists, does that mean he could also learn from Naruto's reverse summoning technique to go to Mount Myōboku to learn Sage Mode?

And if Mount Myōboku exists, where does it exist—in the Marvel universe or the Naruto universe?

If this were the Naruto world, could he briefly enter the Naruto world via Mount Myōboku during the loading process?

And whether the Nine-Tails inside him is a copy or directly transferred from Naruto, and whether the Nine-Tails inside Naruto's body will still be there during the one hour he's been loading.

Is it possible for him to meet Naruto at Mount Myōboku? Is it possible for him to obtain more ninjutsu through this opportunity? And what differences would there be between the two times?

So many questions, so many doubts.

That's why he decided to communicate with Gamabunta as honestly as possible to prevent any misunderstandings that could prevent future cooperation from taking place.

"Kid, what exactly do you mean? What do you mean by 'not entirely Naruto'?"

Gumta was confused by Hawking's words.

Hawking, sitting cross-legged in the air, explained:

"That's a long story. In short, this isn't the ninja world, but another world."

I unexpectedly gained a special ability that allowed me to acquire similar abilities and memories to Naruto within an hour.

That's why I said I'm not entirely Naruto, do you understand?

"Kid, what are you talking about?"

After listening to Hawking's account, Gamabunta was completely bewildered; he couldn't understand what the other person was talking about.

"It seems that Gamabunta isn't very smart. Well, it's not easy for a normal person to understand this kind of thing."

Hawking thought for a moment and said:

"Here's what we'll do: go back to Mount Myōboku and check if my name is on the summoning contract. Then discuss today's events with the other toad sages. I'll summon you again at the same time tomorrow."

Gamabunta is too big. Even though he chose a place far from the city, he will inevitably be discovered eventually, and then it will be big news again.

Moreover, this would also verify some of his conjectures.

If Gamabunta is summoned again at this time tomorrow, a day will have passed on his end, indicating that the time is synchronized. If only a few tens of minutes have passed, then the time is probably synchronized during loading, but not at other times.

This can also verify whether Mount Myōboku is connected to the ninja world or whether it existed independently.

"Kid, how can I believe you're not Naruto?"

Gamabunta still has some doubts about whether Naruto is just playing a prank on him.

Hawking laughed heartily:

"It's simple. First, Naruto shouldn't be able to fly in the air like me. Second, you can try to catch one of my punches. If you do, you'll know I'm definitely not Naruto."

"Naruto indeed doesn't know flying ninjutsu. Fine, I'll take your punch and see what the difference is."

Gamabunta nodded.

"That punch was a bit heavy, be careful when you catch it."

Seeing that Gamabunta agreed, Hawking immediately threw a punch.

"Don't underestimate me. With your meager strength, you're no match for me."

Gamabunta raised his toad hand, but before he could finish speaking, his two toad eyes bulged, and his entire body flew out of the air. He quickly flipped in the air before landing back down.

"How is this possible? Your power!"

It felt that the power of that punch was even stronger than the power Tsunade unleashed.

"That's why I said I'm not Naruto, Toad Boss, you should go back to Mount Myōboku."

"Oh, and it would be best if you could also ask Naruto if the Nine-Tails is still inside him at this time."

Hawking smiled and waved his hand.

Gamabunta took the large pipe out of his mouth and tapped it on the ground:

"Today's events are really strange. Okay, I'll pass on your message."

At this moment, Gamabunta was fairly certain that the kid in front of him was not Naruto.

Although they look similar, upon closer inspection, there are still many differences, and Naruto could not possibly possess such immense power.

"Bang!"

After a puff of smoke, Gamabunta disappeared from the spot.

"It's time to check on the Nine-Tails."

Gamabunta disappeared. After checking the loading time on the panel and seeing that there were still twenty minutes left, Hawking sat down cross-legged and closed his eyes.

The scene shifted, and a long corridor appeared before him. He knew he had arrived at the mental space where the Nine-Tails was sealed.

Walking along the corridor, he soon saw a huge cage, and imprisoned inside was the Nine-Tails, the strongest tailed beast known for its infinite chakra.

The Nine-Tailed Fox, who was sleeping with its eyes closed, seemed to sense Hawking's arrival. It suddenly opened its eyes, which were several times larger than Hawking's body, and said in a violent tone:

"You're here again. Have you finally come to a decision?"

For the past sixteen years, it has tried every means to let its chakra seep into Naruto through the gaps in the seal. The more Naruto uses its power, the looser the seal will become.

The seal had already loosened considerably during the previous battle with Orochimaru. If it were to repeat a few more times, the seal would be completely loosened, and it would regain its freedom.

Unfortunately, in the battle with Sasuke, he originally wanted to persuade Naruto to continue using his power, but he was interfered with by Sasuke who had the Sharingan.

Now that Sasuke has left and Naruto is returning to Konoha, there's no chance to seduce Naruto again. It can only patiently wait for the next opportunity to come, but unexpectedly, Naruto himself has delivered himself to its doorstep again.

However, when he finally saw who it was, he was instantly dumbfounded.

"You're not Naruto, who are you?"
