Naruto

At the same time, in the Hokage's office, a discussion was taking place at the highest levels of Konoha.

Koharu, who had reached the age of hearing, asked solemnly: "Hiruzen, do you know the consequences of letting the Jinchuuriki come into contact with ninjas who know the truth back then?"

Do you know what happened back then? He knows it better than you, okay?

Hiruzen was silently cursing in his heart, but he didn't show it at all on his face: "Kakashi is a reliable and loyal ninja in the Anbu. I believe he knows how to measure."

Danzo chuckled when he heard the words "Kakashi" and "loyalty". After all, Kakashi was a traitor from his subordinates to Hiruzen's subordinates.

Hiruzen ignored Danzo's reaction and said to several others: "I checked on Naruto's situation yesterday. The seal of the Nine-Tails is very stable (a seal that does not exist cannot be unstable), and his emotions are also very stable.

, if you have no complaints about Konoha Village, you don’t have to worry about it.”

Mito Kadoen asked: "Is this a judgment you made as Hokage? It is not mixed with personal feelings?"

Hiruzen replied: "Yes."

Mito Katoyan looked at Hiruzen's somewhat cloudy eyes and said, "In that case, let's allow him to have contact with Kakashi for the time being, but we won't do it next time."

Hiruzen sighed and replied: "I know. Is there anything else?"

Danzo raised another question: "Now the Uchiha clan is becoming more and more restless. I have received no less than dozens of complaints against the police department. The ANBU also collected information about their comments on Konoha during private gatherings.

The villagers are dissatisfied." He put a document on the table.

Hiruzen took the document, but did not read it immediately. Instead, he said to Danzo: "I have given you full authority to handle this matter."

Danzo smiled: "If you say that, it will be easier for me."

Hiruzen waved his hand and said, "If there is nothing else, let's end the meeting here today."

Hiruzen waited until everyone else had left, then said to himself: "I hope you don't make the same choice as Madara."

On the other side, after Naruto and Kakashi finished eating ramen, they said goodbye to each other. Before leaving, Naruto said to Kakashi: "If someone other than the third-generation grandfather asks me why you want to contact me, I must

You want to put all the blame on me, saying that I was the one who stalked you, and you agreed because you had no choice but to do it. It doesn't matter that I am acting like a child, but it is a big crime for you to take the initiative to contact the Jinchuuriki, brother.

"

Kakashi looked at Naruto's serious expression, sighed, and said, "You are so premature."

Naruto pouted and said reluctantly: "Brother, just tell me if you want to promise me."

Kakashi nodded helplessly and said, "Okay, it's up to you."

A bright smile appeared on Naruto's face again, he waved to Kakashi and shouted energetically: "Goodbye, brother!"

He was walking alone on the road and asked Minato in the mental space: "Do you know what Kakashi-sensei's face looks like under the mask?"

Minato asked back: "Haven't you seen the anime?"

Naruto curled his lips: "How can animation and reality be the same? At least fighting is completely different, not to mention the difference between the appearance in the second dimension and reality. For example, you and your mother look alike..."

"Huh?" Kushina came over and looked at Naruto with a smile.

"...It looks much better than in the anime!" Naruto trembled all over and said the only correct answer without hesitation.

In reality, Naruto suddenly stopped and looked solemnly at the bright red and white fan mark on the quaint wooden door on the left side of the road.

That is the symbol of the Uchiha clan.

"Am I really unable to prevent a series of tragedies in the Uchiha family, father?" Naruto asked in a low voice.

"Shisui, Danzo, Itachi, Fugaku, none of them can match you now or three years from now. Moreover, politically speaking, as a Jinchuriki, you are the least suitable to intervene in this kind of matter.

Yes." Minato said bluntly.

"Ha..." Naruto lowered his head and was speechless.

"Actually, except for a few people, the Uchiha clan's destruction was all their own fault. No one else is to blame."

"What about Shisui and Itachi? And...Sasuke." Naruto raised his head

He raised his head and looked directly into his father's same blue eyes as his own.

"War is cruel, Naruto. In the world of ninjas, innocent people lose their lives every day." A trace of sadness flashed in Minato's eyes, but he soon regained his composure.

"I understand, father, I will work hard to practice. I can't change these things, but I will never allow the original tragedy to happen to the third generation grandfather." Naruto said firmly.

"My mother and I will support you, Naruto." Minato bent down, held Naruto's shoulders for the first time like a peer, and said softly.

Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, Naruto is already twelve years old. He is sitting on a swing, silently listening to the discussions in the distance.

"Congratulations, you finally graduated successfully!"

"No, this exam is very simple. Only the crane tail failed."

"Is it the one with yellow hair?"

"you do not say……"

("It's been really hard on you these past few years. I've been acting like a crane for four years, and it's finally coming to an end." In the mental space, Kushina looked at Naruto's frustrated look, touched his head, and said.

"I'm just worried that someone as arrogant as Sasuke will become more paranoid because of me." Naruto didn't pay attention to the comments of others and was thinking about another issue in his mind.

"Didn't you already hint to him that your strength is more than what appears on the surface?" Minato said.

"Haha, the problem is that he seems to think I am just boasting..." Naruto scratched his blond hair and smiled bitterly.

"... Then you can talk to him more often." Minato said with relief.)

"Naruto, are you still worried about the graduation exam?" Naruto in reality suddenly heard a familiar voice. He looked up and saw a ninja with long white hair showing him a gentle smile.

("The third generation grandfather told me that the ANBU did find some suspicious things in Mizuki's home, but there is no direct evidence to prove that Mizuki and Orochimaru colluded." He said in the mental space.

"Then it seems you have to act in this drama." Kushina shook her head.

"I will never let Mr. Iruka get hurt because of me." Naruto said firmly, closed his eyes, and left the mental space.)

"Ms. Mizuki? Yes, Mr. Iruka refused to let me graduate, saying that I didn't master the clone technique well." Naruto had a distressed look on his face.

"Iruka must be doing it for your own good. He hopes you will become stronger." Mizuki comforted.

"But I also want to successfully become a ninja!" Naruto shouted angrily.

"There's really nothing I can do against you. It seems I have to tell you a secret." Mizuki seemed a little helpless.

"Secret?" Naruto asked confused.

"I wonder if you have ever heard of something called the Book of Sealing." There was a hint of confusion in Mizuki's words.

In the middle of the night, Naruto "under the temptation of Mizuki" stole a huge scroll called "The Book of Sealing". He came to a quiet forest, unfolded the scroll, and said to himself: "Multiple shadow clones, eight shadow clones."

Gate Dunjia, Mutual Multiplication Detonation Talisman, Earth Reincarnation... I have already learned the two ninjutsu that I can use. Mutual Multiplication Detonation Talisman is an infinite nesting of psychic techniques on the detonation talisman, there is nothing new about it."

Suddenly, he saw a familiar figure coming in a hurry. He quickly put the sealed book on the ground and hid it behind his back.

"Ah...Naruto! What are you doing here? And what is hidden behind you, is it the Book of Sealing?" Iruka said through gritted teeth as he arrived out of breath.

"Ha, I've been discovered..." Naruto scratched his head and said with a silly smile.

"Are you going to..." Before Iruka could finish his words, he saw Naruto's expression change and he rushed toward him. After the two of them rolled away, he saw Naruto's back being struck by a shuriken with a cold light.

A few light traces of blood were wiped out.

("Damn it, did you agree that he would be beaten up by my multiple shadow clones? The speed of the hidden weapon just now is what a chuunin should have?" Naruto said fearfully.

"I've told you a long time ago not to be superstitious about anime plots, especially fights." Minato sighed, without any concern for Naruto's safety in his tone.)

While Naruto turned over and stood up,

With their hands formed in the Ren seal, four shadow clones appeared beside the attacker, each holding a constantly rotating and compressed chakra ball in their hands, and attacked the attacker.

"Rasengan!"

The attacker barely dodged three of the Rasengans, but was hit in the chest by the fourth one. He lost his balance and fell to the ground. Two golden chains stretched out from Naruto's back and shouted: "King Kong Blockade

!”

These two chakra chains, produced by the unique sealing technique of the Uzumaki clan, tied the attacker tightly and sealed the chakra in his body. Naruto used the chains to drag the attacker to the side of himself and Iruka.

Looking at the familiar face in front of him, he said coldly: "You have good skills, Mizuki."

Shuimu vomited blood and said intermittently: "I didn't expect... I didn't expect you, a little brat... to hide so deeply."

Naruto said softly: "Explain everything about your collusion with Orochimaru, and I will intercede for you."

Mizuki spat at Naruto and said sternly: "Dream!"

Naruto wiped off the spit that splashed on his face and sighed: "You are so brave, then I will have to hand you over to professionals for interrogation. The Four Elephants Seal!" After saying that, he pressed his right hand on Mizuki's head.

On the top, a black swirling pattern, accompanied by mysterious runes around it, appeared at the position he was holding. Then Naruto withdrew his King Kong Blockade, allowing Mizuki to collapse softly on the ground.

"Grandpa Third Generation, I will leave this person to you." Naruto shouted into the depths of the dense forest.

"Is the injury on your back okay?" Hiruzen jumped out of the dense forest, lifted Mizuki up with one hand as his chakra was locked by the sealing technique, and asked Naruto with concern.

"Ha, I'm very resistant to beatings. There's no poison on these hidden weapons, so don't worry, grandpa. Go back quickly. Teacher Iruka and I still have something to say. I'll put the sealed book back in its place tomorrow.

I'm fine. Next time if grandpa or the village needs my help with something, just tell me directly." Naruto looked at Iruka who was still in a petrified state and waved to Hiruzen easily.

"...Then I won't bother you. Congratulations on finally becoming an official Konoha ninja and taking the first step to gain everyone's recognition." Hiruzen bent down and touched Naruto's head kindly.

, and then walked away.

"Iruka-sensei? I-lu-ka-teacher! The third generation of grandfather has left!" Naruto shouted loudly in Iruka's ear, making him recover from the shock.

.

What Naruto didn't expect was that Iruka's first reaction was not to ask any questions, but to quickly come behind him and check his wounds: "The injury just now is okay, right?"

A warm current emerged from Naruto's heart, and he replied with a smile: "Ah, it's okay, they should have recovered by now."

Iruka carefully wiped away the blood on the wound with his hand. Sure enough, he found that everything was as Naruto said, and murmured: "So quick..."

Naruto said nonchalantly: "After all, I am the Nine-Tailed Jinchuuriki and the descendant of the Uzumaki clan. It is normal for me to have strong recovery power."

Iruka looked at Naruto's very different calm expression from usual, with a somewhat complicated expression: "So you already knew this. Your usual behavior in school is also an act, right?"

Naruto lowered his head and said, "This is what Third Generation Grandpa asked for. But no matter what, I still deceived you. I'm sorry."

Iruka took out the forehead protector that he had prepared and tied it on Naruto's forehead. Then he bent down and held his shoulders: "You can do such an outstanding job at this age. I'm not happy yet. Why?"

Do I want you to apologize? I also want to thank you for helping me block the enemy's attack."

Naruto raised his head, touched the shiny metal piece on his forehead excitedly, and said to Iruka: "Teacher, you must still have many questions in your mind, right? Teacher, you always treat me to ramen before, but this time you will

Come and sit at my house, and I will cook you a delicious meal."

Iruka was stunned for a moment, then smiled happily: "Okay!"

After Iruka had a late-night snack specially prepared by the two shadow clones at Naruto's house, he said goodbye and left. Before leaving, he looked at the inspirational slogans posted everywhere in the narrow apartment, as well as the adult posters.

He piled up books and said to Naruto: "Stop focusing on practicing and studying all day long. Occasionally, act like a child and relax and have some fun."

"I understand, Iruka-sensei! Teacher, walk slowly." Naruto replied with a smile.
