The next day.
Today was not a training day yet.
Because Grey Wolf hadn't prepared everything on his end.
He needed to create the items in the Sealing Space, then give them to Zephyr for inspection. Only after Zephyr deemed them satisfactory would another set be made in the real world.
Naruto also had a difficult task today: to dismiss his current delivery boy, Aobane.
After all, he was about to start training soon.
And it would be a kind of torturous training, so it wouldn't be good to have someone monitoring him nearby.
The reason for dismissing the delivery boy was simple.
In a few months, Naruto would be going to school, he needed his privacy, and after starting school, there would be no need for protection.
His request was not excessive, and Naruto believed that the Third Hokage would definitely agree.
Even if he didn't agree, Naruto had a way to deal with him.
The game ninja conquest actually had a few DLCs that Naruto hadn't downloaded for the Third Hokage.
The DLCs included several exciting game patches like 'Foot on Three Boats,' 'Harem King Event,' and 'SM Event.'
With these, the Third Hokage would definitely agree.
Morning.
Aobane delivered breakfast, and upon seeing him, Naruto told him about his intention to dismiss him.
Hearing Naruto say that he no longer needed him to protect him and deliver his meals, Aobane nearly cried.
These weren't tears of reluctance, but tears of joy.
Aobane was now famous throughout the Konoha Anbu.
Aobane now had a new nickname: 'Delivery Man.'
Every day, he not only had to deliver food to Naruto but also secretly buy kidney tonics for the Third Hokage.
Because of the Delivery Man's widespread fame, many Anbu members returning from missions would even seek out Aobane and ask him to help deliver a meal.
"Sigh," seeing Aobane's expression, Naruto also sighed and said, "I didn't expect you, Aobane, to be so reluctant to part with me..."
"How about this! You don't need to monitor me anymore, but you can continue delivering food!"
Hearing that he still had to deliver food, Aobane immediately wiped the tears from his face.
"Well... Naruto, since you've said so, I'll go to Hokage-sama later and discuss this matter!"
With that, Aobane put down the breakfast in his hand and vanished instantly.
Seeing Aobane disappear, Naruto didn't say anything more.
In Naruto's opinion, it was Aobane's loss if he no longer delivered food to him.
Anbu, short for 'Assassination Tactics Special Forces,' had various duties.
Although the Ninja World seemed peaceful now, the Anbu of each Village were still carrying out dangerous missions.
If Aobane didn't deliver food to him, he would also have to perform those life-threatening missions.
After Aobane left, Naruto began to eat breakfast, and after breakfast, there was an even more important task to do.
That was to have Grey Wolf create the items needed for tomorrow's training.
Gravity bracelets and a healing pod were of utmost importance.
While eating, Naruto was thinking about something.
He had already learned the Shadow Clone Technique, so could he let Grey Wolf enter his Shadow Clone?
This way, the main body could move freely, and Grey Wolf would only need to control the Shadow Clone.
He acted on the thought immediately.
After eating, Naruto first used the Shadow Clone Technique to create a clone, then began to call Grey Wolf, asking Grey Wolf's consciousness to enter the Shadow Clone instead of the main body.
At the same time, Zephyr, knowing Naruto's idea, also paid close attention.
If consciousness could truly enter a clone, then Naruto's training could be even more perfect.
After all, there was a significant difference in training effectiveness between having a coach by your side and not having one.
For example, Zephyr intended to teach 'Soru' from the Marine Six Powers.
Using Soru sounded simple: continuously stomp on the ground at an extremely fast speed, using the recoil to move at high speed.
But was it really that simple? Of course not. Before training Soru, one needed to train running methods and techniques, slowly allowing the running style to form muscle memory, so that Soru could achieve the fastest speed.
At this point, a coach was needed to observe the student during training, providing immediate guidance and correcting mistakes when the running style or posture was not standard.
During the break.
Naruto kept watching his clone, and when he saw a change in the clone's eyes, he knew he had succeeded.
"Grey Wolf, quickly try if you can make things with the clone?"
As he spoke, Naruto handed a hammer and a wrench to the clone.
"It should be no problem!"
Grey Wolf took the hammer and wrench, then began to hammer.
Because of collecting scrap before, the materials were still very complete.
Soon, a wristband and an elliptical healing pod appeared in the room.
Naruto touched the technologically advanced healing pod and thought, "He truly is a BUG Wolf, to be able to make even something like this."
The healing pod looked somewhat like the ones used by Frieza's army in Dragon Ball.
The most impressive thing was that this healing pod didn't require medical solution to be injected; only water was needed.
As for the principle? Did something invented by Grey Wolf need a principle? Of course not, it just needed to work well!
He was inherently an unscientific BUG Wolf.
At the same time.
In the Hokage Office.
The Third Hokage looked kindly at a young man standing below and asked,
"Shisui, the Uchiha Clan meetings have been more frequent in the past month. What are they discussing in those meetings?"
Hearing the Third Hokage's question, Uchiha Shisui was somewhat conflicted, but after a moment of hesitation, he still answered truthfully, "The clan meeting content... is all about discussing Konoha's unfairness towards the Uchiha."
"Is that so?" The Third Hokage took out his pipe, took a light puff, and continued, "Shisui, in your opinion, how can we resolve the rift between the Village and the Uchiha?"
Hearing the Third Hokage's words, Shisui was also stunned.
At this moment, Shisui felt somewhat lost.
Shisui could see that the Uchiha Clan's grievances against the Konoha leadership were increasing, and if it continued, the rift between the entire Village and the Uchiha would only grow wider.
Regarding the Third Hokage's question, Shisui knew that he had to answer in a way that satisfied him, because... he was now the link of communication between the Konoha leadership and the entire Uchiha.
"Hokage-sama, please rest assured, I will resolve the rift between the Uchiha and the Village!"
As he spoke, Shisui thought of his Mangekyo ability, Kotoamatsukami.
But because of Kotoamatsukami's BUG-like ability, he didn't intend to tell anyone else, not even the Hokage he admired.
He believed that as long as Kotoamatsukami existed, the rift between the Uchiha leadership and the Village would definitely be resolved.
Hearing Shisui's answer, the Third Hokage did not comment. Instead, he stood up, walked in front of Shisui, and gently patted his shoulder, saying, "I believe that you, who have inherited the will of fire, can handle everything."
Seeing the Third Hokage's trust in him, Shisui was deeply moved.
"Please rest assured, Hokage-sama, I will definitely not let you down!"
