Being in Konoha, a disgrace to the Uchiha clan.

Nara Shikamaru was chewing on a blade of grass, his whole body was clean and there wasn't a single scratch on him.

Didn't you see it?

Thinking about the high mortality rate of this exam, Iruka felt a sudden tightness in his chest.

Has anyone seen Naruto?

Iruka continued to ask around.

As time went on, he became increasingly anxious.

An ominous premonition settled over him.

Although his parents died at the hands of the Nine-Tails, he once hated and loathed Naruto's existence.

But when the Fourth Hokage, Minato Namikaze, was resurrected by Orochimaru using the Impure World Reincarnation technique, and the truth came out, he never hated Naruto again.

Instead, he felt guilty about his previous hatred and began to care more about Naruto.

Hopefully, this can be used to make up for it.

In his heart, he had long regarded Naruto as his family, an inseparable part of him.

Now that all the students who were supposed to come back have returned, but Naruto is still nowhere to be seen, how could he not be extremely anxious?

Just then.

Iruka's eyes suddenly lit up.

He saw a familiar figure.

It's not Naruto, it's Sasuke!

As far as I remember, Naruto was in the same group as Sasuke. Now that Sasuke is back, Naruto should be safe too.

Iruka excitedly walked over and quickly asked him questions.

"Sasuke, where's Naruto? Why isn't he with you?"

“Naruto…” Sasuke hesitated, unable to finish his sentence.

Iruka's face turned pale instantly, and his body swayed violently.

Just as he was overwhelmed with grief, a familiar yet unfamiliar voice rang out.

"Iruka-sensei, I'm here!"

what?

Who?

Iruka turned his head and saw a figure with a brown paper bag over its head.

He was wearing an orange jacket.

Naruto?

Iruka was overjoyed.

But then he realized something was wrong.

Something's really wrong!

The body is Naruto's, that's true, but why is the voice a girl's?

A brown paper bag with several small holes cut out was also placed over its head.

If you say there's nothing fishy going on, only a fool would believe it!

"Iruka-sensei, this is Naruto."

Sakura, standing to the side, explained with a look of utter despair.

"what?!"

Iruka was taken aback. Before he could ask any questions, Naruto ran over and grabbed his hand.

At the same time, she spoke to him in a soothing, girlish voice.

“Teacher Iruka, things are complicated. It’s not convenient here. Let’s find a secluded place and I’ll explain it to you.”

then.

A secluded alley.

Iruka and Naruto stared at each other, wide-eyed.

"Whirlpool Mingmei" blinked her big, bright eyes, looking completely innocent.

next moment.

"Ghost!"

Iruka let out a bloodcurdling scream and fainted.

Ten minutes later.

Narumi Uzumaki was taken to the Yagami Palace by the Anbu ninjas and appeared before Yoru and Fugaku.

Fugaku looked completely bewildered and couldn't help but glance at Ye Feng.

It seems to be saying...

Ye Feng, look what you've done to this child!

The head looks pretty good, but the body is still the same, what's up with that?

Fugaku had never been to Earth, otherwise he would have exclaimed in surprise.

Is this some kind of evil magic learned from the land of elephants?

Ye Feng's eyes twitched as he watched.

But thank goodness, I really didn't intend to trick Naruto this time.

He simply changed the order of the hand seals, which would allow the Nine-Tails' chakra to be used more effectively. Why did this happen?

Could it be because the Nine-Tails sealed inside Naruto is of the Yang attribute and is compatible with Naruto's own chakra?

A positive equals a negative.

Is that why this accident happened?

"Lord Hokage, Lord Yefeng, it's alright. Even though I've become like this, I still managed to protect my comrades this time!"

"From now on, I can continue to protect the village, just like my father, and become a great ninja!"

Naruto grinned foolishly.

However, this action, which usually involves looking at the sunlight, appears inexplicably eerie when performed by "Uzumaki Meimei".

"Forget it, let's just change back!"

Ye Feng was speechless and raised his hand.

"Empty-Handed Mastery!"

The skill was activated, and a wisp of chakra flew out from Naruto's head and landed in Ye Feng's hand.

then.

A soft "thump!"

The Uzumaki Naruto, who caused Naruto great distress, made Sasuke stare blankly, and aroused Sakura Haruno's jealousy, has finally disappeared.

Naruto paused for a moment, then raised his hands and touched his face.

He touched his head again.

The familiar long pigtails are gone.

His eyes widened, and the light in them grew brighter and brighter.

next moment.

He jumped up in surprise and shouted excitedly.

"I'm back to normal!"

"I, Naruto Uzumaki, am back!"

"Lord Hokage, Lord Yefeng, did you see that?"

"Lord Ye Feng, I knew you could do it!"

Naruto looked at Ye Feng with eyes full of fervent admiration.

Ye Feng chuckled and secretly flicked away the wisp of chakra in his hand, letting it dissipate into the world.

He dared not rashly attempt to fuse with such chakra possessing unique properties.

If something unexpected happens, wouldn't he be devastated?

However, if it can increase Naruto's fighting power, it's worth doing this more often in the future.

Well, first we need to find the pattern!

"Naruto, you killed a Jonin this time and got first place in the graduation exam. What reward do you want?" Ye Feng asked.

Upon hearing this, Naruto immediately shouted excitedly.

"Lord Ye Feng, I want to become your disciple!"

"Oh?" Ye Feng was somewhat surprised.

But thinking about it, it makes sense.

After all, Naruto's current wish has changed from becoming Hokage to becoming a ninja like himself.

He has already regarded himself as a new idol, so it's natural for him to make this choice.

only……

Ye Feng frowned, as if he had thought of something.

He turned his head and spoke to an ANBU ninja in the shadows of the corner.
