The next morning.
Naruto and Zephyr went out to train, while Grey Wolf stayed home to prepare things Naruto would need for school.
Grey Wolf sat on a stool, stroking his chin, thinking about what to bring to school.
"Space backpack, PSP console, PSV console, Switch console."
"I also need to get some self-defense items."
"Rocket launcher, bubble gun, shrinking pill... These three should be enough!"
"I'll probably sleep in class, so a sleeping pillow would be good!"
Just as Grey Wolf was about to start working, the wolf-head vibrator on the table began to buzz.
"Eh? Is that lecherous Hokage here again?"
No sooner had Grey Wolf finished speaking than a knock sounded at the door.
Grey Wolf went to open the door and saw the Third Hokage tapping ash from his cigarette by the stairs.
"Oh, Third Hokage. Why are you here again?"
Grey Wolf asked, picking his nose.
Seeing Grey Wolf's flippant demeanor, the Third Hokage frowned. He knew this one must be Naruto's other personality.
"You're not Zephyr?"
The Third Hokage asked tentatively.
"I'm not, I'm King Grey Wolf of Green Green Grassland!"
Grey Wolf introduced himself, then invited the Third Hokage inside.
The Third Hokage entered the house and saw mountains of scrap metal and discarded home appliances.
However, the Third Hokage didn't pay attention to these things. He sat down and looked at Grey Wolf, asking, "Are you and Zephyr both Naruto's sub-personalities?"
Hearing the Third Hokage's question, Grey Wolf knew he was treating Naruto as a multiple-personality psychopath.
"What sub-personality? Naruto is Naruto, and I am I!"
Grey Wolf was telling the truth, but in the Third Hokage's mind, Naruto's condition was already critical!
"Grey Wolf, what are your thoughts on Konoha?"
The Third Hokage asked again.
His main purpose for coming here this time was to find out the thoughts of Naruto's sub-personalities.
"Konoha? No thoughts. You should ask Naruto this question, after all, I usually listen to him!"
Hearing Grey Wolf say this, the Third Hokage felt that Naruto's mental illness might not be as critical as he thought, at least the sub-personalities seemed to obey the main personality.
"Can I talk to Zephyr?"
The Third Hokage decided to talk to each of Naruto's sub-personalities. He wanted to know the thoughts of each one to better plan his next steps.
After all, Naruto is Konoha's Nine-Tailed Jinchuriki, and there could be no oversight.
Learning that the Third Hokage wanted to talk to Zephyr, Grey Wolf nodded and began to summon Zephyr.
At this time, Zephyr was supervising Lee and Naruto's training.
Learning that the Third Hokage wanted to talk to him, Zephyr did not refuse. To be precise, he had long known that the Third Hokage would seek him out.
Back at Naruto's house, Grey Wolf closed his eyes. When he opened them again, Naruto's Shadow Clone's gaze and aura had undergone a significant change.
The Third Hokage looked at Zephyr, deeply shocked.
Zephyr's commanding aura reminded him strongly of his teacher, the Second Hokage.
This made the Third Hokage look at Zephyr with even greater solemnity.
"You are Zephyr?"
"Yes!" Zephyr nodded and said, "I am Zephyr, Third Hokage!"
Just as Zephyr finished speaking, Grey Wolf's voice came from his mind.
"Zephyr, the Third Hokage thinks Naruto has multiple personality disorder. You figure out how to fool him!"
"Hurry up and finish, I have a lot of work today!"
"Zephyr, what is your view on Konoha?"
The Third Hokage repeated the question he had asked Grey Wolf.
"As long as you don't do anything to harm Naruto, I will have no opinion on Konoha!"
Zephyr's answer plunged the Third Hokage into deep thought.
Not harming Naruto was something the Third Hokage could certainly do, as he had never intended to harm Naruto from the beginning.
"I can do that, but how can you guarantee that your sub-personalities won't harm Naruto!"
"These past few days, I've learned about some cases of multiple personality disorder. Many main personalities have been taken over or even devoured by sub-personalities."
The Third Hokage had indeed read a lot of literature on multiple personality disorder during this time.
There were ways to treat multiple personality disorder, such as memory erasure.
Also, using the Yamanaka clan's secret techniques could also treat multiple personality disorder.
But that could only be done with the patient's cooperation.
But looking at Naruto now, he clearly didn't want to give up his imagined teacher Zephyr, and his friend Grey Wolf.
"You can rest assured on that point, this old man is watching over him!"
Just then, the aura of Naruto's Shadow Clone changed again.
At the same time, a layer of Chakra cloak, like a bubble, appeared on the surface of Naruto's Shadow Clone.
"You are... Nine-Tailed?"
Seeing Naruto's current state, the Third Hokage immediately jumped up.
"Hehehe, no need to be nervous. I just want to tell you that with this old man here, a few sub-personalities are nothing."
Seeing that the Nine-Tailed didn't seem to intend to attack, and given that this was just Naruto's Shadow Clone, the Third Hokage finally relaxed.
"Nine-Tailed... I didn't expect the seal within Naruto's body couldn't even contain your consciousness!"
"Hehehe, you'll have to ask Minato Namikaze about that. When he sealed me, he already left a small opening that allowed my Chakra to flow out."
"Don't forget, this old man is a Chakra aggregate, and Chakra is this old man's consciousness!"
After saying this, the Nine-Tailed went offline.
His purpose in coming online was simply to tell the Third Hokage that Zephyr and Grey Wolf would not harm Naruto.
Since the Third Hokage already believed Naruto was a schizophrenic, then they might as well confirm Naruto's diagnosis.
Then Grey Wolf came back online.
"Alright, Third Hokage, you know all the details now, it's time for you to go. I still have work to do!"
"Cough, cough..." The Third Hokage coughed twice and said, "Actually, there's one more thing."
"It's about... the ninja conquest game. Can you give me the remaining DLCs? I saw... a preview poster with a Ninja in black stockings who seemed very... worthy of critique, so..."
Before the lecherous Third Hokage could finish speaking, Grey Wolf took a USB drive from a nearby drawer and threw it over.
"Here are all the DLCs for that game. Go download them!"
Knowing that the Third Hokage would eventually come for the game's DLCs, Naruto had prepared them in advance!
Receiving the USB drive as if it were a treasure, the Third Hokage then left Naruto's house.
The Third Hokage naturally remained skeptical of the Nine-Tailed's words.
But now, it seemed... he could only trust the Nine-Tailed and Naruto's two personalities.
To treat Naruto, Naruto himself had to cooperate.
So now, the goal was to stabilize Naruto's sub-personalities and the Nine-Tailed, and then have the Yamanaka clan find a way to quickly resolve Naruto's multiple personality disorder.
