Shisui and Itachi arrived at Naruto's house.
Before they could knock, the door was opened from the inside.
It was Naruto who opened the door, but this Naruto seemed a bit strange in Itachi's and Shisui's eyes.
"Yo, you two are here!"
Naruto greeted the two.
Itachi and Shisui exchanged glances at this, and before Naruto could speak further, Shisui instantly appeared behind him and locked Naruto's head in his arm.
Itachi also pulled out a kunai and pressed it against Naruto's chest, asking in a deep voice.
"Who are you? Where is Naruto?"
That's right, the person in front of them wasn't Naruto, but a robot controlled by Naruto through a brain-computer interface.
Previously, under Grey Wolf's guidance, Naruto had already become proficient with the robot's various functions and operations, almost as if it were his own body.
When he saw Itachi and Shisui come to his house, Naruto hid in the bathroom with his virtual helmet on.
Seeing that Itachi and Shisui immediately realized that this body was not Naruto, Naruto had an idea for a prank.
Hearing Itachi's question, Naruto gave a sinister smile and said, "Of course, I killed him!"
As he finished speaking, Mecha Naruto's limbs and head suddenly detached from its main body, breaking free from Shisui's control.
After breaking free, Mecha Naruto directly burst out of the window and sprinted towards the distance.
Seeing this, Shisui chased after him without a word, while Itachi looked at Naruto's room and living room with some doubt, a thoughtful expression on his face.
After pondering, Uchiha Itachi activated his Sharingan and scanned the entire room, then said in a deep voice, "No signs of a struggle..."
Thinking that he and Shisui might have been fooled, Itachi used his Sharingan to check the activity traces in the entire room, finally locking his gaze on the bathroom.
Itachi quietly walked to the bathroom door, slowly pushed it open, and then he saw Naruto sitting on the toilet wearing a virtual helmet.
Naruto, who was controlling the robot, suddenly received external information; he knew he must have been discovered.
Since Shisui was chasing him, the one who discovered him must be Itachi.
Naruto first set the robot to automatic operation mode to keep Shisui going in circles.
He then took off his virtual helmet, smiled at Itachi, and said, "How is it? My clone is quite interesting, isn't he!"
Itachi gave a wry smile and said, "Yes... quite interesting. So, your clone is actually controlled by a virtual helmet, isn't it?"
With Itachi's insight, he quickly guessed the connection between the virtual helmet, Naruto, and the robot.
"Alright... stop playing for now, bring Shisui back!"
Knowing it was just a false alarm, Itachi told Naruto to bring Shisui back.
Ten minutes later.
Itachi and Shisui stood together, surrounding Mecha Naruto.
"This... is this a puppet! I didn't expect you, Naruto, to know how to make puppets!"
Shisui's face was filled with shock.
After all, puppet culture was not prevalent in Konoha; it was something played in the Land of Wind.
"This isn't a puppet, this is called a robot, much more advanced than puppets!"
Shisui nodded at this, saying, "It is indeed more powerful than the puppets from the Land of Wind!"
When Shisui was chasing Mecha Naruto earlier, he almost caught him several times, but the robot's feet transformed into flamethrowers, and it simply flew away.
Fortunately, most of the chase took place in the Konoha forest; if it had been within Konoha Village, it would have caused quite a commotion.
"Tell us! Naruto, why did you call us here?"
After observing Mecha Naruto, Itachi asked with some curiosity.
"I want to leave the Village with you two!" Before they could refuse, Naruto patted Mecha Naruto beside him and continued, "It's just that I want him to go out with you two!"
Hearing that it was just this puppet going out with them, Itachi did not refuse on the spot.
"Alright... as long as it's not you personally coming with us!"
Seeing Itachi agree, Naruto took out two spatial backpacks and handed them to the two.
"In these two backpacks, there's a printer, a laptop, and a virtual helmet!"
The two took the backpacks, and Shisui asked with some confusion, "We know what the laptop and virtual helmet are for, but what is that printer used for?"
Naruto knew they would ask that, so he took out an identical printer and placed it on the table.
Then he connected the laptop to the printer, and finally, he smashed the only wooden stool in the living room and threw it into the printer's hopper.
Soon, sheets of paper printed with red ideology came out.
Naruto picked up the paper and said with a smile, "Since you want to spread the red ideology throughout the Ninja World, you naturally need books that can spread ideas!"
"This printer is very convenient to use; you just need to put wood into the hopper next to the printer, and then you can print out sheets of paper with text on them. Then you just need to bind them, and it becomes a complete book!"
Seeing the printer's magic, both Shisui and Itachi showed excitement.
With the printer, they could spread the red ideology even faster!
Itachi hadn't expected such a great harvest from coming to see Naruto this time.
"Thank you, Naruto."
"Comrades, no need to be polite, we are all our own people!"
Hearing the term "Comrade," Itachi and Shisui's eyes lit up again.
"Comrade? People with the same aspirations... That's right, we are all Comrades!"
"Comrade Naruto, just wait for us to return triumphantly with more Comrades!"
And so, Itachi and Shisui each carrying a bag, left the Village, and Itachi was also carrying a silver-white briefcase with a wolf's head printed on it!
After the two had left the Village for four or five kilometers, Itachi placed the briefcase on the ground, pressed a button, and after a series of "clack, clack, clack" transformations, the briefcase once again became Mecha Naruto.
At the same time, in Naruto's house, Naruto, wearing a virtual helmet, also felt that Mecha Naruto had completed its transformation, and he immediately connected his consciousness.
After the consciousness connection, Naruto felt as if he had also left the Village.
Naruto didn't plan to go the same way as Itachi; he still had to go to the Whirlpool Country ruins to find the Shinigami mask. Naruto was already somewhat impatient about resurrecting his father.
Itachi and Shisui knew that Naruto was not going the same way as them, so they didn't say anything.
The three exchanged greetings and then went their separate ways!
At the same time.
A man in a black robe with red clouds arrived outside Konoha Village, smiling sinisterly.
"Hehehehe... Konoha, still as outwardly splendid as ever, Teacher Sarutobi!"
