Narration system starting from Konoha

"Alright, don't rush back. If there's nothing else, you can follow Jiraiya to find Tsunade. There are many buildings being rebuilt in the village right now, so there aren't many missions."

Kakashi just wanted to get rid of Uchiha Ku as soon as possible; he wanted to enjoy every day of peace and quiet.

Sora smiled and said, "Kakashi-sensei is really not being honest. He readily agreed on the surface, but secretly he wants me to leave as soon as possible."

Alas, it's truly heartbreaking; loneliness is like snow, the world is cold and indifferent, and morality is declining.

Kakashi was a little numb, so he quickly filled out the certificate, handed it to Sora, and left with the words "I have something to do" before disappearing without a trace.

Kakashi is all too familiar with Uchiha Ku's tactics. His initial act of being deep and mysterious is never a good sign; he's probably plotting something to sabotage him.

Helpless, Sora walked towards the gates of Konoha.

The people around him have all gotten smarter now. It was better before; they would lose their bearings with just a little bit of manipulation.

At the gates of Konoha, Uchiha Sora strolled over, only to be stopped by two familiar figures.

“Uchiha Sora, you are not allowed to leave the village without orders.”

He glanced at the two of them and laughed, "Aren't these the door-blocking duo, Shen Yuechu and Gangzi Tie? I didn't expect you two to actually be doormen."

Uchiha Sora suddenly felt uneasy. Why did he have to run into these two? Could they have conspired with Kakashi to ambush him at the gate?

"Don't listen to the narrator's nonsense." As he spoke, he took out the exit permit that Kakashi had issued and handed it to the two of them.

The two of them gritted their teeth as they looked at the proof. They clearly had the proof, yet they were still dawdling over it for so long. They really didn't know how Kakashi taught his students.

Sora immediately objected, saying, "How dare you slander Kakashi-sensei! When I return after I've finished my business, I will definitely tell Kakashi-sensei what you really think."

Shen Yuechu and Gangzi Tie felt as if they had swallowed a fly. What an annoying brat! They should get rich and leave as soon as possible. Who knows how many more trouble he'll cause if he stays here.

The two glared at Uchiha Sora and returned his exit permit to him.

Kong shrugged and took the exit permit without hesitation, then walked out with a disdainful snort and an arrogant air.

[You think you can stop me, Uchiha Sora? A little bit of intelligence will crush you.]

Shen Yuechu and Gangzi were furious. This young man was so arrogant and ignorant, he didn't even understand basic human relationships. The ninja world would teach him a lesson later.

[Kong Man scoffed. "He knows so much about human relationships, yet he's just guarding the gate in Konoha. He talks such high and mighty stuff. Why isn't Kakashi guarding the gate? What a waste of his talent."]

Chapter Ninety-Six: Change

The gate is an important intelligence gathering department in Konoha, and also a crucial line of defense against enemy invasion.

Only ninjas who have earned the deep trust of Konoha's higher-ups are assigned to guard the gates, a fact that Kamizuki Hatake and Kotetsu have always been proud of.

Uchiha Sora curled his lip, too lazy to argue with the two. Two Chunin arguing with him, a Genin, was embarrassing for Uchiha Sora.

[These two are really good at patting themselves on the back. Anyone who dares to invade Konoha through the main gate is a strong ninja in the ninja world. No one could stop them, whether there were guards or not. At most, they would be responsible for gathering intelligence and dealing with some insignificant characters.]

Gangzi Tie and Shen Yuechu Yun exchanged a glance. How could they let a newcomer laugh at them? Was there no justice in the world?

"Goodbye, seniors. The narration was all nonsense. I still admire you both very much," Kong said.

[Kamizuki Hatake and Kotetsu's expressions eased slightly, but they clearly didn't believe Uchiha Sora's sweet talk. As veteran Chunin, the two had gathered a lot of information about Uchiha Sora; he was a guy who harmed others without benefiting himself.]

"You two seniors have gone too far. I, Uchiha Sora, am a Konoha ninja who has thoroughly studied and comprehended the Will of Fire. I have shed blood for Konoha and killed enemies for Konoha."

How could it be harmful to others and not beneficial to oneself? Someone must be talking badly about me behind my back, trying to ruin my reputation.

"Don't listen to the narrator's nonsense. We have important tasks to complete, so we can't chat with you anymore."

After Shen Yuechu finished speaking, he grabbed Gangzi Tie and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Kong shook his head in disappointment. These two were minor characters who appeared in a few episodes, but they weren't very effective at picking up girls; they ran away too quickly.

Tanzaku-gai is a famous commercial street in the ninja world and an important source of tax revenue for the Land of Fire.

An empty-handed man knocked on the door of a hotel room on the second floor.

"Open the door! I strongly suspect you're involved in seducing respectable women. Is there some white-haired guy living inside? Don't even think about running away."

Naruto was completely bewildered, not knowing who was knocking on the door. He figured it must be that the perverted sage had done something wicked again and someone had come knocking on his door.

Naruto reluctantly opened the door, only to be greeted by a rapidly enlarging foot that was about to kick him in the face.

Naruto quickly pushed himself up with both hands and used his feet to back up, revealing Uchiha Sora with a wicked grin at the doorway.

"Not bad, you haven't lost your vigilance at all in just a few days. Where's Jiraiya-senpai? Didn't he come out with you?"

[Uchiha Sora asked a question he already knew the answer to. He had already guessed that Jiraiya must have gone to a fallen woman to study life and explore the mysteries of existence, but he pretended not to know.]

"Naruto, don't listen to the narrator's nonsense. I'm not a sage, how would I know Jiraiya's whereabouts?"

Naruto said, "I believe you. The narrator is just talking nonsense."

The world is going to the dogs. Since meeting Uchiha Sora, Naruto has become increasingly shrewd. He pretends to be indifferent on the surface, but in reality, he has begun to be wary.

[Uchiha Ku's tricks are hard to guard against. Naruto has fallen for them several times, and now he naturally becomes wary whenever he sees Ku.]

The room became awkward. Naruto scratched the back of his head, looking embarrassed, and didn't know what to say.

Kōsō patted Naruto on the shoulder and said indifferently, "I believe in Naruto-kun. The narrator is clearly trying to sow discord between our Team 7."

By the way, have you seen Sasuke these past few days? I beat him up, and he got a leave of absence permit from Kakashi-sensei. He hasn't been back to the village for days.

Kakashi-sensei said he's coming to see you, Naruto. You and Sasuke don't have some kind of inappropriate relationship, do you?

Sora looked at Naruto with a serious expression, his eyes filled with suspicion, as if he had discovered some incredible secret.

[Tsk tsk, Sasuke actually neglects his own brother and goes out of the village to find Naruto. What a tragic fate. No wonder the two of them have kissed so many times. Even Sakura doesn't have such a good opportunity.]

Naruto's hair stood on end. He didn't quite understand Sora's words, but he could sense the deep malice in them. Sora was definitely not a good person.

Kong looked dejected and said, "I only considered you a friend in the whole of Konoha. It seems you all misunderstood me. It's hard to be a good person. I'll stay here tonight and go back to the village tomorrow."

He dragged his heavy steps and lay down directly on the empty bed in the room.

Naruto felt a pang of pity, but ultimately said nothing. He remained vigilant, always feeling that Naruto was being manipulated.

[Sigh, Uchiha Sora feels like he's had a bad start to the day. He's been seen through twice in a row. When did Naruto become so smart? He made a mistake today.]

"Kong, every sentence you say is a cliché, you can't have a normal conversation."

Kong's expression turned serious. He said, "I was just trying to lighten the mood. This time, it's not just about finding Sasuke; I also have important information to tell you."

Itachi Uchiha and Kisame Hoshigaki want to capture you, and Sasuke is probably searching the world for Itachi to take revenge.

"You, you mean Sasuke and your brother? Why did you arrest me? And who is Kisame Hoshigaki?" Naruto asked, his face full of confusion.

Sora patted Naruto's stomach and said, "Because of this guy, Kisame Hoshigaki is a powerful but stupid idiot."

Naruto fell silent, unable to understand why so many people in Konoha hated him because of Kurama, and even outside the village, some wanted to capture him because of Kurama.

A small hand covered Naruto's head and said, "You're such a grown-up, why are you still so sentimental? Don't worry, with Uchiha Sora here, I won't let Uchiha Itachi capture you."

Naruto nodded, moved, and said, "I will also train hard. This time, I came out with the Perverted Sage, and I plan to learn a powerful ninjutsu."

"Let that arrogant Sasuke see then; it's definitely no worse than his Chidori."

[Ku had already guessed it; it must be the Rasengan, the unsealed ninjutsu created by the Fourth Hokage.]

"How did you know, Sora?" Naruto was genuinely surprised this time. Ever since Jiraiya taught him the training method, he had never told anyone else.

Sora said with a profound expression, "Anyone with a brain can figure this out. You're simple-minded. Hand seals are too complicated to practice. The Rasengan is straightforward and doesn't require any brainpower."

Naruto scratched his head, unsure whether Sora was praising him or mocking him; something just felt off.

[Kong breathed a sigh of relief. Naruto's intelligence hadn't improved significantly; he'd just fallen for so many tricks that it had become a conditioned reflex.]

"Hmph, you really are no good person, Kong. What the narrator said just now was definitely not a nice thing."

After finishing his sentence, Naruto sat on another bed and closed his eyes to cultivate, clearly not wanting to continue the conversation.

Helpless, Kong could only focus his attention on the screen in the system space to check the situation in various places.

In a secret room in the Hokage Building, Danzo sat cross-legged, his eyes closed in deep thought, seemingly lost in thought.

On the table in front of him sat a cup of steaming tea, the rising steam obscuring Danzo's gloomy face.

The current Danzo is completely unlike the ruthless and vicious man he usually is known as the Dark Lord of Konoha; he seems like any ordinary civilian in the present day.

The chilly feeling on my body had dissipated considerably.

Uchiha Ku could sense that Danzo's mindset had probably changed during his imprisonment these past few days, which was not a good thing.

Chapter Ninety-Seven Leeks

Among the Four Heavenly Kings, Danzo, though ruthless, was a reckless fool; in terms of cunning, he was three generations behind.

He is ruthless to his subordinates and coerces and entices others. He always relies on his own power to use force and rarely uses wisdom. Instead, he resorts to scheming and trickery to frame others.

Every action he takes makes him want the entire ninja world to know that Danzo is not a good person, but a big bad guy.

Before doing anything, the three generations liked to find a high-sounding reason for themselves, always claiming to be on the side of justice.

Sakumo Hatake's suicide was orchestrated by Danzo, and the annihilation of the Uchiha clan was also ordered by Danzo.

Hiruzen Sarutobi could easily absolve himself of all responsibility by simply pretending to be confused in the background.

While Danzo was despicable before, his actions were not without precedent. However, if Danzo had grasped the treachery of the Third Hokage while imprisoned, then he would be truly difficult to deal with.

It seems there will be more battles to come with Tsunade.

The sky outside the window gradually darkened, and the sound of staggering footsteps echoed in the corridor.

"Haha, Naruto, I'm back. This time, my in-depth conversation with a few fallen women finally helped me break through my writing bottleneck. I'll show you around when I have time."

Sora and Naruto opened their eyes at the same time.

Naruto looked embarrassed, while Sora looked at him with amusement and said, "I didn't expect you to get along so well with Jiraiya-senpai. Sigh, I wonder if Sakura will be sad when she finds out."

"Tsk tsk, when you get back, you'll have to tell Sakura about your romantic escapades."

A bead of cold sweat trickled down Naruto's forehead as he shouted, "That's all nonsense from the perverted sage! How could I possibly go to a place like that? I would never go!"

Naruto's words were somewhat insincere; he had long wanted to see for himself, but Jiraiya never took him on his missions.
