Inside the Sealing Space.
Zephyr was watching Pirate King, Kurapika was watching Hunter x Hunter, while Grey Wolf and Kurama continued to play games, drink cola, and eat barbecue.
Kurama had already watched Hokage. For him, the most important thing was to enjoy himself in the moment, as he had been sealed for a hundred years.
From Uzumaki Mito, the wife of Senju Hashirama, to Kushina Uzumaki, the wife of Minato Namikaze, and now Uzumaki Naruto.
In these nearly one hundred years, Kurama felt that this period of his life was the most peaceful and joyful.
Even the days before he was sealed couldn't compare to now.
So, Kurama was quite indifferent to whether he was a manga character or not.
Instead of spending so much time thinking, it was better to do more work and buy a few more annual sets.
Naruto also didn't plan to continue disturbing them; he chose to return his consciousness to his body.
In the classroom.
"The Chakra refining technique explained this afternoon is the foundation of being a Ninja. I hope all students will practice diligently after returning home. If you have any questions, please ask them promptly tomorrow, and the teacher will explain them to you."
It was almost time for school to end, and Iruka began to assign homework.
The homework was simple: basic Chakra refining.
Hearing Iruka assign homework, Naruto knew it was time for school to end.
Naruto stood up, stretched, and then stuffed the pillow from his desk into his backpack.
"Hinata, see you tomorrow!"
"Mhm! Naruto-kun, see you tomorrow."
After greeting Hinata, Naruto walked away with his backpack.
After school, many parents waited at the school gate to pick up their children.
Naruto also saw Lee at the school gate.
"Hi Naruto, how was your first day of school?"
"It was alright!"
Just as Naruto finished speaking, Zephyr's voice echoed in his mind.
"Naruto, make a clone. This afternoon's training continues!"
"Oh my… Zephyr-sensei, have you finished Pirate King?"
"That can be watched anytime; your training is more important!"
Upon hearing this, Naruto could only create two clones.
The reason for two was that Naruto planned to have Grey Wolf make computers for a few more days, to bring to school tomorrow and play with the other Genin.
He instructed Grey Wolf to go home by himself, while he and Lee, led by Zephyr, went to their usual training spot.
Halfway there, Zephyr suddenly stopped and then whispered, "Someone is following us!"
Upon hearing this, Naruto only thought for a moment before understanding what was happening.
"Zephyr-sensei, it's probably Mizuki, the one who registered me today, coming to cause trouble!"
Then, Naruto recounted what had happened that morning.
When he felt Mizuki's killing intent today, Naruto knew that this matter wasn't over; that guy would definitely not give up easily.
"Is that so? It seems this Mizuki will be a very good test subject… to test the results of your recent training."
"Mhm!" Naruto nodded and said, "I was thinking the same thing!"
"Alright! Next, I'll take Lee and leave first, creating an opportunity for Mizuki to make his move!"
Even if Lee was slow-witted, he understood Naruto and Zephyr's plan.
So Lee was a little worried.
"Zephyr-sensei, Naruto is still just a Ninja Academy student, and the teachers at the academy are all Chunin."
"Don't worry! Actually, Chunin aren't as powerful as you think."
With that, Zephyr took Lee and separated from Naruto.
Naruto, meanwhile, walked towards a sparsely populated forest.
After walking for more than ten minutes, clear footsteps finally sounded behind Naruto.
Naruto turned to look and saw Mizuki, with a ferocious expression, walking towards him.
Seeing this, Naruto, while releasing the gravity from his gravity bracelet, taunted him.
"Oh, isn't this Mizuki-sensei?"
"Do you feel that your apology this morning wasn't enough, and you're planning to give me a kneeling apology now?"
Hearing Naruto's words, Mizuki smirked sinisterly and said, "You little fox brat, let's see if you still have the strength to be arrogant in a moment."
With that, Mizuki directly threw several kunai at Naruto. The kunai's attack positions were not lethal, clearly indicating that Mizuki did not want to kill Naruto immediately. He either didn't dare, or he wanted to torment Naruto in this manner.
Just as the kunai were less than a meter away from Naruto, Naruto stomped his feet hard on the ground, instantly disappearing from his spot.
Mizuki was also surprised by this.
"It's the Body Flicker Technique?"
With that, Mizuki began searching for Naruto's figure.
Soon, he found Naruto behind him, and by this time, Naruto had already formed the hand signs for [Wind Release: Great Breakthrough], and his chest was puffed out.
Naruto didn't have the habit of shouting out the name of a Ninjutsu while using it, because he felt it was silly.
As the Wind Release: Great Breakthrough was unleashed, Mizuki narrowly used the Body Replacement Technique to dodge it.
Although Mizuki dodged, several trees around him were knocked down.
Mizuki was also inwardly startled by this.
Wind Release: Great Breakthrough was only a C-rank Ninjutsu, meaning its power was quite limited.
But... Naruto's Great Breakthrough had been performed at the level of a B-rank Ninjutsu, which forced him to take this battle seriously.
Spotting the opening after Naruto had just finished his Ninjutsu, Mizuki unleashed a Great Fireball Technique.
While spewing the fireball, he shouted, "Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique!"
Mizuki used the Great Fireball to obscure his vision and rushed straight towards Naruto.
He planned to engage Naruto in taijutsu, in close combat.
Mizuki could tell that Naruto's Ninjutsu ability was strong, but he didn't believe that a five or six-year-old kid could have strong taijutsu.
Just as Naruto dodged the Great Fireball, Mizuki appeared in front of him.
A kunai was thrust straight towards Naruto's chest.
Seeing this, Naruto showed a smile. Compared to Ninjutsu, Naruto's taijutsu was actually stronger.
Just as Naruto was about to give Mizuki a surprise, a figure suddenly blocked the space between Mizuki and Naruto.
Although Naruto didn't clearly see the newcomer's face, by the mark behind him, which resembled a ping-pong paddle, he knew that the person was a member of the Uchiha clan.
The newcomer grabbed Mizuki's wrist with one hand and punched Mizuki in the stomach with the other, directly knocking Mizuki unconscious.
After doing all this, the newcomer turned to Naruto and smiled, "Little friend, are you alright?"
Seeing this face, Naruto recognized who it was at first glance.
This person was none other than the Uchiha clan's top genius, Uchiha Shisui.
Looking at that smiling face, Naruto thought, "He truly lives up to his name as Uchiha Shisui... he certainly has a face that's easy to trick!"
