Narration system starting from Konoha

In the morning, I ate some simple dry food and continued on my way.

"Kakashi-sensei, besides climbing trees, what other techniques are there for training chakra? I almost mastered them yesterday," Sasuke asked.

The rest of the team were somewhat surprised. Sasuke usually acted aloof, as if someone owed him 20,000 yuan, but they never expected him to ask questions.

"How can you say that about Sasuke-kun? With such a mischievous younger brother, Sasuke-kun must be quite strict to keep him in check," Sakura hurriedly defended Sasuke.

[This guy, Sora, is nothing like Sasuke. If he weren't Sasuke's younger brother, I wouldn't bother with this lazy bum.]

[Kura didn't bother to refute Sakura's words. Sakura was really brainless; she was the real drag on Team 7. Instead of thinking about improving her strength, all she did was think about nonsense.]

Kakashi nodded secretly. Sora was right; he hadn't even thought about Sakura's future path yet.

Sasuke and Sora are both from the Uchiha clan. Once they awaken their Sharingan, their strength will increase rapidly. Naruto is the child of his teacher and a descendant of the Uzumaki clan. He has a vast amount of chakra within him, so even if he needs to suppress the Nine-Tails, the amount of chakra he can use is enormous.

[Sakura is the only exception; she's unremarkable, but her chakra control is precise. Perhaps she could be considered a medical ninja.]

"Kakashi-sensei, am I that strong? Why can't I feel it?" Naruto asked curiously.

Actually, Naruto wanted to show off and let everyone know that he was still very strong, but he didn't quite understand where his extra chakra came from.

Naruto is someone who can create hundreds of shadow clones when enraged. When suppressing the Nine-Tails, his chakra is four times that of Kakashi. Once he releases the suppression, his chakra will be hundreds of times that of Kakashi.

The forest fell silent, and incredulous gazes fell upon Naruto.

"Naruto, that's terrifying. I never expected you to have so much chakra."

Kakashi knew the Uzumaki clan's chakra was terrifying, but he didn't expect it to be this terrifying. If Naruto can master chakra control, his strength will likely increase rapidly.

Naruto scratched the back of his head sheepishly and said, "Haha, I'm going to be Hokage someday, so I have to train hard."

Sasuke fell silent, surprised that the seemingly brainless loser actually possessed so much chakra; even someone as proud as him couldn't match it.

"Haha, Sasuke is so frustrated. Naruto has the blood of the Uzumaki clan, and you have the blood of the Uchiha clan. Each of you has your own advantages. Second brother, don't make me look down on you."

"Hmph, what right do you have to talk to me like that?"

Sasuke was too lazy to argue with Ku. As long as he continued to improve his Sharingan, his strength would increase quickly. Next time he sparred with Ku, he would find an opportunity to activate his Sharingan and beat Ku up.

"Erzhuzi, don't think you can beat me just because you activated the first tomoe. It seems you still want to experience the taste of a smoke bomb."

Kong chuckled maliciously, "I've recently come up with some new gadgets that will guarantee you ecstasy."

Sasuke didn't want to talk to Sora. The smoke bomb incident had already cast a shadow over him, and the feeling of being covered in chili powder was unpleasant.

"Kakashi-sensei, you haven't answered my question yet."

Sasuke didn't want to continue entangled with Ku, so he changed the subject, and he was more concerned about improving his own strength.

"Sasuke is right, Kakashi-sensei. So, how do we train next?"

Naruto couldn't help but ask, even though his grades were the worst and he still needed several more days of training.

Chapter 19 Naruto's Outburst

A gentle breeze blows, swirling fallen leaves across the sky.

Five figures darted swiftly among the trees.

Kakashi waved his hand, and the group stopped one after another.

Sakura looked at Kakashi with a puzzled expression: "Kakashi-sensei, have you noticed something?"

"We're getting closer to that band of bandits. You all learned basic reconnaissance at the Ninja Academy; now's the time to put it to the test."

Sakura's legs were a little weak. This was her first time participating in actual combat, and the enemy was a vicious band of mountain bandits. Fortunately, Sasuke was there. Sasuke-kun is so powerful, he will definitely be able to easily kill this group of mountain bandits.

Naruto leaped and appeared in front of Sakura: "Don't worry, Sakura, I'll protect you."

"Naruto, don't exaggerate. Many ninjas are so scared when they face the enemy on their first mission that they forget how to fight. That's why the death rate of Konoha genin in the past was so high."

Naruto didn't believe Ku's words at all. He was a man destined to become Hokage; how could he be intimidated by a few petty thieves?

Kong smiled but didn't say anything.

Kakashi scanned the four people and began assigning tasks:

"You four will split into two groups to conduct reconnaissance. Sasuke and Sakura will be in one group, and Naruto and Sora will be in the other. Determine the number and approximate strength of the bandits."

Sakura finds Kakashi increasingly pleasing to the eye, and is finally able to spend time alone with Sasuke.

Kakashi's expression turned serious. "This reconnaissance mission isn't for you to fall in love. Incorrect intelligence can easily lead to casualties, Sakura. I hope you take this mission seriously."

"Yes."

Kakashi's serious expression made Sakura uneasy; as expected, Sakura was the one dragging Team 7 down.

"Nonsense, I'm not afraid at all. As long as I'm with Sasuke, I'm not afraid of even death."

Sakura's idea is too optimistic. Sasuke won't die easily before getting his revenge. It would be more likely if it were Naruto; the power of bromance is limitless.

"Narrator, you're talking nonsense. Sasuke isn't that kind of person at all. He and Naruto were just an accident."

Sakura was furious; she couldn't accept that she held a lower position in Sasuke's heart than a man.

"I'm bored. I have to go on a mission. Sakura, if you don't want to go, you can stay here with Kakashi-sensei. One more person won't make a difference."

Sasuke wasn't in the mood to watch Sakura bicker; he was more interested in checking on his recent training progress.

"Erzhuzi, take this! He can save your life in a critical moment and make these bandits feel like they're dying of pleasure."

Sora casually handed a few smoke bombs to Sasuke.

These bandits are excellent test subjects; I have high hopes for how effective my various smoke bombs will be against them.

"Let's go, Naruto, let's scout ahead and find out how many bandits there are."

[Ku and Naruto approached silently, but the twenty bandits in the hills were completely unaware. This rabble seemed to have no idea that ninjas would come to wipe them out so soon.]

Hearing that four newly graduated Konoha ninjas had come to annihilate them, the mountain bandits were eager to launch a preemptive strike and wipe out Team 7 in one fell swoop.

The bandit leader was a traitorous genin from the Land of Rivers. He had heard of the Copy Ninja Kakashi and planned to take advantage of the chaos to escape to the Land of Rivers to hide. He had no intention of dying with these cannon fodder.

The four stopped in their tracks. Not only had the enemy been exposed, but their own strength had also been revealed by the narrator.

Sora smiled and said, "Has the narration spread this far? I thought it was only in Konoha. This is getting more and more interesting."

Kakashi shook his head: "Ku, your thoughts are somewhat dangerous."

If the narration were to permeate the entire ninja world, it would likely introduce uncertainty into the current peace and accelerate the turmoil within the ninja world.

Many secrets buried in time may be unearthed at any time.

Kakashi also harbored some anticipation; it wouldn't be bad if the filth and evil of the ninja world could be exposed to the light of day.

Kakashi desperately wanted the narrator to explain why the person who had influenced his entire life had suddenly died; this was a secret Kakashi had kept hidden for many years.

No living being has any secrets from the narrator. Although Kakashi concealed it well, his confusion was as obvious as a beacon in the darkness.

Sasuke also needs an answer; his heart is even more confused than Kakashi's.

"Hmph, nonsense. My mind has always been clear: kill that guy."

Sakura glanced at Sasuke worriedly, unable to say a word.

[It turns out that Kakashi-sensei also has many secrets; Naruto always thought Kakashi was just a perverted old man who liked to read weird books.]

[Naruto probably forgot the narrator's earlier hint: Kakashi is a rare genius of Konoha, who participated in the Fourth Shinobi World War from a young age and witnessed the cruelty of the shinobi world.]

“You people are all so complicated. Only Naruto and I have a clear goal,” Sora said.

Sasuke scoffed. "The goal of becoming a lazy bum? And then there's the guy who dreams of becoming Hokage all day long?"

Naruto, unconvinced, shouted, "Sasuke, just you wait and see! I'll definitely become Hokage!"

"Someone's coming," Kakashi interrupted Naruto, saying, "Be careful and stay hidden."

The five people vanished in the blink of an eye, hiding behind nearby rocks.

A bandit charged down first, intending to deal with the four children from Konoha. He scanned the area but saw no enemies. Unbeknownst to him, all the Konoha ninjas were hiding behind rocks, ready to ambush him.

"Damn narration, we've all been exposed."

Sasuke was the first to stand up from behind the rock, and then threw out two kunai.

"Pfft."

Two streams of blood splattered out, and the bandit fell to the ground dead.

Sakura and Naruto stared at the dead body, their minds blank, their earlier boasts completely forgotten.

Naruto's body trembled, seemingly unwilling to admit that he had forgotten everything in a moment of fright.

"Come on, you bandits, let me, Naruto Uzumaki, destroy you!"

Naruto summoned the courage hidden within him and stepped out from behind the boulder. What a stubborn kid! He was determined to take on more than ten bandits head-on.

Multiple Shadow Clone Technique

At the foot of the mountain, countless shadow clones appeared in the blink of an eye, Naruto's figure appearing everywhere—on rocks, on hillsides, and in trees.

"Charge! Annihilate the bandits!"

"I'm going to be the Hokage!"

"As expected of Naruto Uzumaki, he's full of surprises. Kakashi-sensei, no tricks will work now, we have to fight head-on."

At the same time, Kong rushed up the mountain, and Sasuke, Sakura, and Kakashi also gave up hiding.

The bandits were dumbfounded. Weren't they supposed to have four recent graduates? Why were there ninjas everywhere on the mountain?

"Help! Don't kill me! I just came up the mountain today!"

"I surrender, please spare me. I just want to make a living, I have never killed anyone."

More than a dozen bandits cried and wailed, their cries flowing like tears. They said that if they had known they would perish so quickly, they would never have become bandits.

Hundreds of shadow clones leaped up and surrounded more than a dozen bandits, giving them a brutal beating.

In the blink of an eye, all eighteen bandits were bruised and battered, lying on the ground begging for mercy.
