"Zephyr's life was truly a tragedy!" Grey Wolf couldn't help but exclaim.
At this point, Grey Wolf suddenly thought of something and asked Naruto, "Naruto, you recognized me from the start, so you must know my story, right? Tell me, did I ever get to eat a sheep in the end?"
Grey Wolf's question was cruel.
Not to Naruto, but to Grey Wolf himself, it was cruel.
"Sigh," Naruto sighed, "Grey Wolf, you never ate a sheep, even until your death! It's cruel, but it's the truth!"
This was indeed the truth; the Pleasant Goat and Grey Wolf cartoon was for young children, and there was absolutely no way Grey Wolf could ever eat a sheep.
Hearing Naruto's words, Grey Wolf looked a bit dejected, while Kurama burst out laughing.
"Hahaha, never ate a sheep in his whole life!"
"Back before I met that perverted Uchiha Madara and Senju Hashirama, I used to run around freely outside, crushing who knows how many sheep every day."
Upon hearing this, Grey Wolf's dejected expression vanished, and he glared angrily at Kurama. Soon, the wolf and the fox started arguing again.
Because Naruto was present, Grey Wolf and Kurama wouldn't resort to direct combat.
League of Legends became the perfect stage for their duel to the death.
The SOLO started again, fox versus werewolf, Naruto was already tired of watching it.
While they were SOLOing, Zephyr, carrying a bottle of alcohol, came over to Naruto.
"I heard everything you just said."
"A tragedy? I suppose my life was quite tragic."
At this, Zephyr took a large swig of alcohol, then looked at Naruto and asked.
"Tell me, kid, why did you bring me here?"
Naruto was also taken aback by this.
"Why did I bring you here? How would I know? I'm not the one who brought you over."
However, seeing the somewhat despondent Zephyr, Naruto didn't voice his true thoughts.
Instead, he bowed deeply to Zephyr.
"Mr. Zephyr, I hope you can guide me in my training!"
Naruto's words surprised Zephyr.
He had heard such words countless times at Marine Headquarters.
"Training? Do I still have the qualifications to be someone's teacher?"
Zephyr thought about his life, from the beginning of not killing an Admiral, he believed he would be everyone's hero, and he always strived towards that goal.
It was precisely this heroic belief that prevented him from mercilessly killing pirates.
He knew that under the rule of the somewhat corrupt World Government, many people couldn't survive and had no choice but to become pirates.
But... this heroic dream was shattered when his wife and child died before his eyes.
The reason his heroic dream shattered was because... he developed a killing intent towards pirates.
He felt he could no longer bear the title of 'not killing an Admiral' in such a state.
But at the urging of his colleagues, he decided to train more true Marine heroes.
Naturally, he wouldn't restrict these disciples with his own standards, which is why his disciples included those who believed in absolute justice like Akainu, those who practiced lazy justice like Aokiji, and those whose justice was elusive and ambiguous like Kizaru.
As a teacher, he was successful, but also a failure, because he... failed to protect his students, leading to the untimely deaths of all the students on his ship.
In the end, having completely lost faith in the World Government, Zephyr's last line of defense and his tolerance for pirates completely vanished.
It wasn't until he met Straw Hat Luffy that he saw good people, or rather, hope, among the pirates.
These successive changes and internal contradictions made the reborn Zephyr doubt himself.
Was he really a good teacher?
Zephyr looked at Naruto, who had a sincere expression, and waved his hand, saying, "You should find someone else!"
Seeing that Zephyr didn't agree, Naruto knew that this Zephyr, who had experienced death, was no longer the same Zephyr as before.
"Alright!" Naruto replied, a little dejected, and picked up the projector, playing the entire Naruto series again.
"This is information about the current world, and also future information. Please take a look!"
Upon hearing this, Zephyr nodded and continued to drink, saying nothing more.
Just as Naruto was about to leave the Sealing Space, he suddenly seemed to remember something, and with a wave of his hand, several spray bottles and a few bottles of medicine appeared before Zephyr.
"Mr. Zephyr, these are asthma relief sprays and special medicine for treating asthma!"
With that, Naruto's figure disappeared from the Sealing Space.
Zephyr first glanced at the medicine in front of him, then looked deeply at where Naruto had disappeared, finally shaking his head with a bitter smile, and took another sip of strong alcohol.
Only then did he turn his attention to the screen playing Naruto.
On the other side.
After naruto returned to reality, he took out the vibrating device with Grey Wolf's avatar that had been constantly vibrating in his pocket.
"The Third Hokage is here again!" Naruto murmured.
This vibrator was another one of Grey Wolf's small inventions.
The vibrator was connected to an invisible camera outside Naruto's house; as soon as the camera detected the Third Hokage, or any stranger trying to enter Naruto's house, the vibrator in his pocket would alert him.
Not long after Naruto turned off the wolf-head vibrator, there was a knock at the door.
Opening the door, Naruto saw the Third Hokage, pipe in mouth, looking much thinner than before, standing at the entrance.
"Hehehe, Naruto, Grandpa is here to see you!"
Looking at the Third Hokage's current appearance, Naruto wondered if he would even survive until the Konoha Crush Plan.
The high-ranking officials in the Village had also noticed that the Third Hokage's body had been getting thinner recently.
They all believed it was due to the legendary, unknown Blood Release Ninja frequently ambushing the Third Hokage.
But... the truth was probably only known to Naruto and the Bluebird who looked after him.
And the Bluebird had already bought kidney-tonifying and blood-replenishing medicines for the Third Hokage several times.
"Hokage Grandpa, which game do you want me to teach you this time?"
Hearing Naruto's words, the Third Hokage felt a wave of embarrassment.
The Third Hokage was indeed hopelessly addicted to adult films; even his crystal ball had started gathering dust.
Occasionally, he would use it to check on Naruto, but... once he discovered Naruto was just staying home every day, he stopped observing Naruto. He just had the Bluebird report to him during meal breaks and shift changes!
Due to constantly using the computer, the Third Hokage had also developed some interest in those games.
Then he started trying them out one by one.
Soon, besides being addicted to adult films, the Third Hokage's other obsession was a game called plants vs. zombies.
