Naruto: I am Ninja World Ghost Story, who are you?

"?"

"Has class started?" Uchiha Bufan looked up from his book "Basic Chakra" and suddenly realized that everyone was looking at him. He couldn't help but smile and said, "What's wrong? Am I any different from yesterday?"

Everyone: "..."

Snapped!

A sound of a table being slammed came from beside him, startling Bu Fan.

Hey buddy! What are you doing?!

Naruto didn't look at Bufan, but instead scanned the classmates in the class.

"Bufan is under my protection! No one can bully him!"

He wouldn't let this classmate who was willing to be close to him be bullied by the other students! Absolutely not!

"..." Everyone fell silent for a moment, and even Shikamaru, who usually had a good relationship with Naruto, couldn't help but cover his face.

Wait... haven't you noticed yet?!

At this moment, Iruka finally couldn't help but ask Uchiha Bufan, "Um... excuse me, who are you?"

Before he could recover from Naruto's voice, Bufan heard his homeroom teacher's strange question and his brows furrowed slightly.

Logically speaking, he was a top student alongside Sasuke. Although he didn't become number one to keep a low profile, he was still ranked third. How could Iruka-sensei forget his own name...?

With his brain slightly fogged up, Uchiha Fufan decided to stop thinking and said, "Iruka-sensei, did you not sleep well last night and suddenly forget? Also, my name is Uchiha Fufan, please don't forget it, Iruka-sensei."

Hearing the students' concerned words, Iruka felt a surge of emotion and smiled in response, "That's true... I haven't slept at all these past two days..."

"?"

Iruka was halfway through his sentence when he suddenly heard Uchiha Bufan's self-introduction.

Uchiha?!

Wasn't that the ninja clan that had been wiped out, leaving only Sasuke?!

Chapter 3 Brother, are you home?

This scene.

Anyone in that position would have their brain burned to 50 degrees Celsius.

Therefore, Iruka chose to temporarily abandon the brain-teasing exercise and let the students return to their seats to study on their own. He planned to go to the Hokage Building alone to tell the Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, the news.

Afterwards, although the students returned to their seats, they couldn't help but whisper among themselves.

Uchiha Bufan paid no attention to this, only staring intently at the book in his hand. He then took out sheet after sheet of draft paper and a pen from his bag and began to try to calculate the probability of the feasibility of cultivating chakra.

Naruto, thinking he had successfully 'suppressed' the whole class, became smug and sat back down.

I wanted to study hard and learn from my new, extraordinary classmate, but after just one glance, I slumped onto the table and fell asleep.

......

spiritual space.

Tick.

Tick.

In a sewer-like environment, with water dripping from the walls from time to time, Naruto Uzumaki suddenly appeared in front of a tall prison cell.

Naruto was stunned for a moment, then took a deep breath and looked around: "Where the hell am I?!"

"Is this still Konoha Village?!"

Just then, a pair of red eyes, terrifyingly large, emerged from the darkness of the tall prison ahead, staring at Naruto as he appeared.

"Naruto."

"Ahhh! A ghost!! Ghost grandpa, please don't kill me! I have a grandfather who's over sixty years old, and an unborn child. Please, please spare me!"

He's terrified of ghosts!

"..." Seeing that the child was talking nonsense, Kurama, who originally wanted to tell Naruto some things, fell silent for a while.

After waiting a while and realizing that the ghost hadn't appeared, Naruto finally stopped talking. He cautiously raised his head, looked at the huge eyes inside the tall cell, and whispered, "Um... Mr. Ghost, is there something you need from me?"

"Kid, have you forgotten what happened these past two days?" Kurama frowned. He knew from daily life that Naruto was a bit slow, but he didn't expect him to be this slow.

Upon hearing this, Naruto sat down with his legs drawn up, his expression relaxing considerably. At least he knew that the demon in front of him might be able to communicate, so he began to think.

"These past two days...the past two days..."

"I went to Ichiraku Ramen for ramen these past two days, and they added two slices of char siu to my bowl... I guess that's all..." Naruto muttered to himself.

Nine-Tailed Fox:?

"I'm talking about the Uchiha!"

"Oh! Uchiha... Uchiha... It's the matter that everyone in Sasuke's clan died, right?" Naruto suddenly realized.

"Yes, that's it." Kurama couldn't help but wipe non-existent sweat from his forehead, and then said, "Then tell me, who's left in the Uchiha clan?"

Then, Naruto gave him a look as if he were looking at an idiot, staring into the eyes in the darkness of the cell: "Isn't that obvious?! It's definitely Sasuke left... huh?!"

"You finally remembered!" Nine-Tails rolled its eyes, thinking to itself.

Then, Nine-Tails spoke up: "That's right, that brat isn't human at all, but I can't see through what he is either. And just now, there seemed to be a very terrifying power trying to get close to you, but it disappeared after you responded to it."

"No way! There's a ghost sitting next to me! No wonder I don't recognize him!" Naruto clutched his head in despair. The thought of having to go out and talk to that ghost after this 'dream' ended made him tremble.

"I called you here to tell you not to pretend you don't know him, and not to argue with him, otherwise... you might die." Kurama was horrified by that power, because that power could definitely kill him, let alone the little Naruto in front of him.

"Can't we pretend we don't know him?" Naruto's eyes welled up with tears.

Nine-Tailed Fox nodded: "Yes."

"By the way, I haven't asked yet, who are you?" Naruto couldn't help but move closer to the prison gate.

Gradually, the environment inside the cell became clearer. Naruto stopped less than a meter in front of the cell, and began to tremble.

"A giant fox!"

Nine-Tailed sighed. He had originally intended to torment this brat occasionally, but he never expected such a 'monster' to suddenly appear.

......

Hokage's office.

At the desk, Hiruzen Sarutobi was processing documents.

Since the Uchiha incident was resolved the day before yesterday, a huge weight has been lifted from his heart, and he feels exceptionally at ease now.

At that moment, a member of the secret service appeared.

"Lord Hokage, Sasuke has left the hospital and seems to be heading home."

"Okay, be careful not to let Sasuke get hurt."

"Yes!" the ANBU replied and disappeared into the room.

Time passed by minute by minute.

About half an hour later, another half hour passed.

There was a knock on the door, and Hiruzen Sarutobi couldn't help but frown, wondering if there was something new to deal with today.

He didn't look up, continuing to browse the documents in his hands, and said to the door, "Please come in!"

"Lord Hokage! Something strange has happened at the school, and I've come here specifically to report it to you."

The visitor was none other than Umino Iruka.

At this moment, his face was deathly pale.

Not long ago, I was planning to go back to the office to look for the list of ninja academies to see if the name 'Uchiha Bufan' was on it.

Coincidentally, he bumped into Inoue Kazuhito, who was in charge of teaching the third-year A class, and explained the matter to him.

The other person first showed a sad expression, saying that it was rare to have a gentle Uchiha, and that he died in that 'disaster'.

But when Inoue Kazuhito heard Iruka's words clearly, his expression changed.

Because he was absolutely certain that Uchiha Fufan was dead. This was because the Anbu came to his door to inform him, and he, as the homeroom teacher, personally handed over Uchiha Fufan's school file to the Anbu members.

Therefore, they learned that Uchiha Bufan was actually a member of Class 3-A, and that the Anbu had 'confirmed his death'.

A strange sense of horror and absurdity welled up in Iruka's heart once again.

After instructing Inoue Kazuhito to keep an eye on things and not to alert the suddenly appearing 'Uchiha Fufan', he personally went to the Hokage Building to report to the Third Hokage.

After hearing all this, Hiruzen Sarutobi was dumbfounded.

Am I dreaming? Or is Iruka still dreaming?!

He shook his head, took out the crystal ball, and looked in Naruto's direction.

'The Art of Telescopes'

However, the crystal ball did not react at all!

It's fair to say that the ninjutsu failed!

Hiruzen Sarutobi immediately stood up. He had never failed to use this technique in the village before, but now that it had failed, there must be something wrong with it.

"Iruka, go back to class. You don't need to handle this matter."

"Then, Hokage-sama... that classmate who 'came back to life'?" Iruka asked cautiously.

"Don't worry, I'll send someone to handle it."

After reassuring Iruka, Hiruzen Sarutobi immediately dispatched an ANBU member to take on the mission.

......

Uchiha clan.

Sasuke had expected to see an empty and clean entrance to the clan's territory.

However, several members of the security force were found patrolling near the gate of the clan's territory.

"Let's take a break today and wait until tomorrow..." Uchiha Shisui said to the team members in front of him.

"Shisui-nii-san!!" In an instant, Sasuke had forgotten that Shisui was already dead and rushed into Shisui's arms.

Even though Shisui used to steal his brother, Sasuke was filled with joy to see a living and familiar Uchiha member.

This means that the extraordinary is real! It's all a dream!

"What? Sasuke, why are you back?" Shisui looked at Sasuke in his arms with a long face, raised his hand to rub the little head, and continued, "At this time, you should still be in school, right?"

"I...I..." Sasuke didn't know how to explain and choked up for a moment.

Shisui noticed that Sasuke seemed a bit off, so he smiled and said, "If you're really not feeling well, why don't you go home and rest? Your brother's home today~"

"Really..." Sasuke wiped away his tears.

The moment he heard it clearly, his whole body began to tremble involuntarily.

Brother, are you home?

Chapter 4 The First Appearance of Strange Tales

My name is Sarutobi Yujiro, and I am an elite Chunin.

I work diligently every day, striving for the sake of the clan leader who will become Hokage.

But today, I received some news.

There are still survivors from the Uchiha clan!

Moreover, that survivor was one of the people he was responsible for collecting the bodies...

"I hope it's not what I thought."

On the street, Sarutobi Yujiro felt somewhat depressed.

Faced with an unknown entity, the Hokage's first instinct wasn't to send him to the morgue to check on the unburied Uchiha corpses, but instead to send him to find that brat who might be 'resurrected'...

This made him somewhat uneasy about the upcoming mission.
