Naruto: Naruto Hosted by the System

So far, Naruto has used the system's Shadow Clones three times. The first time was against Orochimaru and the First and Second Hokage, and the second time was against the Raikage, the Eight-Tails, and the Two-Tails.

The third time... was dealing with some trivial matters submitted by the villagers of Konoha.

While these tasks could be delegated to subordinates, the system claimed that doing so would enhance Naruto's approachability among the villagers.

Of course, most importantly, it doesn't take the system much time to process these things.

"Speaking of which, Kakashi-sensei, isn't a large part of the reason why your body is so weak and you lack chakra so much because you can't shut down your Sharingan? Don't you want to think of a way to seal it or just remove it?"

Kakashi remained silent.

He knew, of course, the reason why his strength hadn't improved much over the years; he just wanted to preserve this last bit of longing.

But not long ago, he learned from Naruto that Obito might still be alive, and might even be the masked man who killed his teacher and his wife...

Kakashi closed his eyes, feeling lost.

He didn't know how to face Obito.

Seeing Kakashi's expression, Naruto could probably guess what he was thinking.

So he casually said, "By the way, I ran into Obito Uchiha in Kirigakure this time."

Kakashi suddenly raised his head and looked at Naruto with a shocked expression.

Naruto was referring to encountering "Uchiha Obito," not "the masked man."

In other words, that conjecture has been proven to be true.

"...Naruto, he didn't do anything to you, did he?" Kakashi's first concern was Naruto's safety.

"We fought, but unfortunately he got away." Naruto shrugged.

Kakashi finally breathed a sigh of relief.

If Obito even killed his teacher's child, then he really...

"By the way, what about Sasuke? We should tell him the details, since it's related to him too."

Kakashi's expression turned strange when Sasuke was mentioned.

"Sasuke has been training with Orochimaru during this time."

"Orochimaru? Come to think of it, has Orochimaru gotten used to the pain of being burned by flames by now?"

"Hmm...you'll know the details when you go and see for yourself."

Hearing Kakashi say this, Naruto couldn't help but feel curious, so he released his shadow clone and prepared to set off.

"Naruto, aren't you going to let the shadow clones continue handling government affairs?" Kakashi asked, puzzled.

During this time, he would occasionally have his shadow clones help him with government affairs, but he lacked chakra and couldn't maintain it for long. However, Naruto shouldn't have this problem.

"It's all taken care of," Naruto said casually.

"what?!"

Kakashi picked up a document with a shocked expression, only to find that it was indeed true, and that it had been handled much better than his own.

The same goes for other documents; no matter which one Kakashi picked up to look at, it was already perfectly processed.

Even some tasks that he had previously completed but hadn't handled well were brought out by Naruto for further resolution.

"Then what's the point of all this hard work these past few days??" Kakashi was getting depressed.

"It's to prevent unexpected situations, and some issues have a time limit. Kakashi-sensei, you've done a great job. I'm the exception," Naruto comforted him.

Kakashi sighed and decided not to dwell on it.

Compared to Naruto, no one else seems quite good.

......

Before imprisoning Orochimaru, Naruto had already made arrangements to prepare a laboratory for him on the outskirts of Konoha once Orochimaru had gotten used to the burning sensation of the Sunfire.

There's no fear of him escaping; Sasuke can sense the location of Mokatsuhi at any time, and can even use this connection to add fuel to the fire for Mokatsuhi.

Naruto and Kakashi arrived in the countryside, where Sasuke was practicing Lightning Release.

After obtaining the Mangekyou Sharingan, Sasuke's strength can be said to have skyrocketed to Kage level.

However, at that time, his basic skills in taijutsu, ninjutsu, and genjutsu were at most at the level of a special jonin.

That's why Sasuke sought out Orochimaru to help him improve his fundamentals.

"Hey, Sasuke, how's your training going lately?" Kakashi asked casually.

"As usual, without relying on the Mangekyou Sharingan, I'm probably at the level of a Jonin now," Sasuke said with some pride.

He may not be a match for Itachi Uchiha yet, but he has made commendable progress.

"Naruto? You're back too." Sasuke noticed Naruto behind Kakashi, who was curiously looking around at his surroundings.

Sasuke's voice pulled Naruto back from his thoughts, and he said solemnly, "Well, I have something to say to you two."

Despite having prepared himself mentally, Kakashi still found it difficult to remain calm when he heard news about his former teammates.

Sasuke noticed his reaction and began to have some guesses.

"I infiltrated Kirigakure this time and fought that masked man. I successfully shattered his mask and confirmed that he was Uchiha Obito."

"That is, the culprit who caused the Nine-Tails Night and assisted in the annihilation of the Uchiha clan."

Upon hearing this, Sasuke's gaze immediately turned cold, and he said in a deep voice, "I must kill him."

At that moment, he noticed that Kakashi's expression showed more pain than anger, and said in a somewhat threatening tone, "Kakashi, you're not going to try to stop me, are you?"

“No… Obito did do something unforgivable, I won’t deny that.” Kakashi shook his head and sighed.

“Obito Uchiha has a variety of abilities. He is not only good at Fire Release, but he can even use Wood Release. I suspect that he may have had something like the First Hokage’s cells transplanted, which may be why he was able to survive back then.” Naruto then began to introduce information related to Obito.

"His kaleidoscope eye technique is of the space-time type, possessing a special space in which he can hide to achieve the effect of etherealization and avoidance of attacks."

"At the same time, he can also suck objects, ninjutsu, and even people into his space when they are in close contact."

Sasuke nodded thoughtfully: "It is indeed a very troublesome ability."

"But as long as I can lock him down with the Calamity Sun, everything will be fine."

Naruto continued, "Fortunately, one of his Sharingan eyes is with Kakashi-sensei, so he's not much of a threat."

Is someone capable of triggering the Nine-Tails Night and annihilating the Uchiha clan really "not much of a threat" in Naruto's eyes?

Sasuke pursed his lips. He had just imagined that if he were to encounter Obito Uchiha, unless he could hit Mokutsuhi with information advantage right from the start, he probably wouldn't be able to win.

"Your two kaleidoscope eye techniques can indeed counter him, but..."

Naruto didn't say what he meant next, but Sasuke and Kakashi both knew he meant, "You guys are too weak."

Sasuke was somewhat unwilling, but he also knew that this was the truth.

He won't be discouraged by this; instead, he'll work even harder to become stronger.

“I can still learn something from Orochimaru, Kakashi, what about you?” Sasuke said bluntly.

With the Mangekyou Sharingan, Sasuke's strength had already surpassed Kakashi's.

Kakashi scratched his head, saying uncertainly, "Perhaps I could try to develop some more Lightning Release techniques?"

Naruto then interjected, "Sasuke, are you studying with Orochimaru now?"

Sasuke nodded, a hint of pride on his face as he thought about his progress.

"After studying for so long, he's still only at the Jonin level? Orochimaru is misleading people."

Sasuke was taken aback by what he heard, clearly not expecting Naruto to say that.

What did he teach you?

"Like swordsmanship, Orochi-style ninjutsu, and the like."

"That's it?"

Naruto shook his head when he heard this.

Sasuke was indignant at Naruto's dismissive attitude.

"So, Naruto, what are your thoughts?"

"There are plenty."

Naruto raised his hand, and suddenly bursts of purple lightning appeared on it.

The deafening roar resounded in Sasuke and Kakashi's ears, drawing their attention.

Both of them were masters of lightning release and could see the extraordinary nature of this purple lightning.

"This... looks somewhat similar to the Lightning Blade, but it's much more agile. It can generate powerful force without needing to perform a high-speed dash beforehand," Kakashi said in surprise.

If you were to fight using this kind of lightning release technique, you wouldn't even need to rely on the Sharingan's dynamic vision.

The reason why only Sasuke and Kakashi can wield the Lightning Blade is because its sprinting speed is so fast that it's difficult for the user to react in time, so the Sharingan is needed to assist in its application.

However, if it were the Purple Lightning before us, it could still unleash considerable power even without the Sharingan, and its greater flexibility would allow it to adapt to more situations.

The only drawback is that this ninjutsu is likely to be difficult to learn, because it clearly takes the form and nature of lightning chakra to the extreme, and it greatly tests the user's control over chakra.

However, this is a problem with people, not with techniques. Look at Naruto, he can use it effortlessly, can't he?

Seeing this, Sasuke's eyes were already burning with desire, and he couldn't wait to activate his Mangekyou Sharingan to copy Naruto's movements.

"Don't rush, there's more."

Naruto then unleashed a massive amount of Lightning Release chakra, both on and inside his body, covering his entire body.

"Is this the Fourth Raikage's Lightning Release Chakra Mode?" Kakashi recognized the technique Naruto was demonstrating.

"But it also seems a little different."

Naruto nodded: "The Fourth Raikage's fighting style is rather rough, and he often combines Lightning Release ninjutsu with taijutsu, which may not be suitable for the two of you."

"So I made some improvements, shifting the focus from enhancing Lightning Release ninjutsu to enhancing the power of Lightning Release ninjutsu."

Sasuke also noticed that the electric arcs around Naruto were purple, just like before, meaning that purple lightning could also be used in Lightning Release Chakra Mode.

Naruto then explained, "The greatest strength of the purple lightning I developed is its versatility; almost all lightning-style ninjutsu can be released using purple lightning."

"Putting everything else aside, its power will definitely be on a new level."
