This Uchiha is too popular

"However, from this perspective, the cost-effectiveness of the Vortex Blood seems to have become even higher..."

This thought flashed through Youming's mind.

The stronger the vitality, the more clones it can create.

The Vortex Blood amplifies life itself.

From this perspective, he should try to increase the level of Vortex Blood so that he can create more clones.

But if that's the case...

"I think I've found the reason why I'm not as good as Naruto."

Standing there, Youming couldn't help but shake his head.

He was wondering about it before.

Even though his vortex physique has already reached level nine, how come in terms of actual feeling, he's still not as good as Naruto Uzumaki?

It now seems that the problem wasn't with him personally, but with his alter ego.

The existence of night has divided a part of his life, permanently weakening his lifespan.

That's the real reason.

However, it doesn't really matter.

Youming takes it all in stride.

It's just a portion of its vitality; if it's been divided, so be it.

Compared to the benefits of having clones, none of this matters.

With that thought in mind, he silently walked into the house, intending to continue resting and recover his strength.

Time passed by, bit by bit.

............

Within a dense forest in Konoha, two figures chased each other.

In the end, Naruto was caught up by Mizuki and knocked away.

Iruka collapsed to the side, leaving only Naruto and Mizuki still standing.

"Give up, you fox spirit!"

Mizuki's face was contorted with rage, all traces of his former gentleness replaced by pure killing intent: "Hand over the Book of Sealing obediently!"

"We're both on the same side, why should we fight each other for Konoha's assets?"

He began by trying to manipulate Naruto: "You don't know this yet, do you? Iruka's parents died because of you..."

"The people in this village only hate you. Their so-called gentleness is just a disguise."

"In their eyes, you are a fox demon, the murderer who killed their companions and even their parents! Do you understand?"

Am I... the murderer who killed their parents?

Naruto was stunned upon hearing Mizuki's words.

He thought of everything that had happened to him in his childhood, the complex and unspeakable look in Iruka's eyes on ordinary days, and the rejection and fear in the eyes of many people on the street...

Could he really be the so-called fox demon? The culprit who brings all the calamities?

Naruto Uzumaki felt a little shaken at this moment.

No matter how strong-willed and positive a person is, there will always be some darkness in their heart.

Not to mention, he has been treated this way by everyone in Konoha for many years.

Over the years, those rejecting glances and words have been enough to kill anyone's heart and distort any child's personality.

Naruto Uzumaki has a strong enough heart, but that doesn't mean he's immune to the influence and interference of those around him.

At this moment, Shui Mu's words brought back all those memories for him.

"Could it be... that they truly hate me so much, that they wish they could kill me?"

"Even Iruka-sensei secretly wished he could kill me to avenge his parents?"

"No, that's absolutely not true!"

At the crucial moment, Naruto suddenly raised his head: "What you said may be partly true, but it can't be absolute!"

Even if everyone in the village truly wishes me dead, at least there's one person who genuinely wishes me well and truly cares about my future!

"He...is my best friend, I absolutely will not allow you to say that!"

At this moment, the image of Uchiha Yumei flashed into his mind.

Naruto recalled his past with Yumin.

From their first smile to their subsequent interactions, the other person never looked down on anything about him, nor was she ever discouraged by the trouble he caused.

Even though being with him led to her being disliked, Youming never showed any dissatisfaction, but instead chose to continue supporting his dream.

Even though she had amnesia, Youming still remembered his name!

How could someone like Youming be the kind of person Shuimu described!

"Uchiha Yuminori, you mean that good-for-nothing from the Uchiha clan?"

Mizuki grinned maliciously and said disdainfully, "He is indeed an exception."

"I have never seen such a kind person, but unfortunately, he is too weak and is just a good-for-nothing who is easily deceived."

"A piece of trash and a fox spirit, that's quite a perfect match."

"Shut up!"

Naruto's face hardened with anger: "I won't allow you to say that! Shut your mouth right now!"

"If you can do it, feel free to give it a try."

Shuimu spoke coldly.

He was gradually losing patience with Naruto.

Being inside Konoha Village, what he is doing is extremely dangerous. He must defeat Naruto as soon as possible and obtain the Scroll of Seals.

With that thought in mind, he prepared to move forward and finish off Naruto Uzumaki.

Unfortunately, his abilities were indeed limited.

He was no match for the enraged Naruto and was swiftly and decisively defeated without any doubt.

"I won!"

Looking at the fallen Mizuki, Naruto Uzumaki smiled.

But before he could completely relax, he suddenly felt a release beneath him.

Looking up, the Book of Seals that he had been carrying on his back was now gone.

A brand new figure appeared in front of them.

He was an ordinary-looking young man.

"Damn it, the Book of Seals has been..."

Iruka, standing nearby, asked anxiously, "Who are you? Are you one of Mizuki's accomplices?"

"Put down the Book of Seals immediately!"

"An accomplice of Shuimu?"

Bing spoke softly, her voice hoarse: "I suppose so."

"At least on the goal of obtaining the Book of Seals, we are on the same page."

"Thanks to you, I was able to obtain this Book of Seals, so I will spare your lives."

"Take a good rest here for a while."

He waved his hand, then quickly moved forward and left the place.

"Stop right there!"

Behind him, Naruto Uzumaki roared, trying to intercept the ice.

Unfortunately, he didn't have much strength left at that moment.

When he used the Multiple Shadow Clone Technique for the first time, he completely drained his chakra. He was so exhausted that he could barely stand and had no strength left to intercept his opponent.

He stood there, helpless, just like Iruka beside him, watching the ice figure leave in silence, completely unable to do anything.

In the distance, Bing's figure gradually disappeared, disappearing into the depths of the dense forest.

He had no intention of escaping from Konoha, because he knew it was unrealistic.

Mizuki thought he could obtain the Book of Sealing Techniques through Naruto and eventually escape Konoha with this complete guide to forbidden techniques. However, he never considered that Naruto Uzumaki could possibly get his hands on something so important.
