Ino Yamanaka: "This quantity... it's too much?!"
Kankuro: "That Uzumaki Naruto... he can split into so many Shadow Clones at once?!"
Kankuro: "Then why was it so hard to fight that dog-smelling guy before?!"
Inuzuka Kiba: "Hey, hey, hey! What do you mean?!"
Shino Aburame: "Literally."
Inuzuka Kiba: "..."
Sakura Haruno: "So amazing... But why is Multiple Shadow Clone Jutsu a forbidden jutsu?"
Wuwuwu!
The hog-tied Naruto reacted, "I guess I can still speak."
Uzumaki Naruto: "Yeah, yeah, why is my Multiple Shadow Clone Jutsu a forbidden jutsu?"
Uzumaki Naruto: "It's not dangerous at all when I use it!"
Senju Tobirama: What do you mean 'your' Multiple Shadow Clone Jutsu? I developed that!
Senju Tobirama: The main reason Multiple Shadow Clone Jutsu is classified as a forbidden jutsu is because it over-consumes the user's Chakra. The more clones created, the more Chakra is consumed. One careless mistake can lead to the user running out of Chakra and endangering their life.
Senju Tobirama: Besides that, after dispelling the Shadow Clones, the memories and experiences of the clones return to the main body. This requires extremely high mental strength. If one doesn't have enough confidence...heh!
Ōnoki: "In other words, once the Shadow Clones are dispelled, the massive amount of memories and experiences could very likely shock the user into idiocy."
Fourth Raikage: "But there's no need to worry about Gold-Framed Naruto."
Ino Yamanaka: "Why?"
Uchiha Sasuke: "Gold-Framed Naruto's seemingly powerful Multiple Shadow Clone Technique are actually just a useless gimmick."
Uchiha Sasuke: "So many Shadow Clones, in his hands, are just like throwing mud at enemies."
Uchiha Sasuke: "That's right, if he really knew how to use these Shadow Clones, he would have probably been shocked into an idiot long ago. That's right, Idiot Naruto, meaning, you are an idiot! If you weren't an idiot, you would have already been shocked into an idiot by this Ninjutsu!"
Uzumaki Naruto: "!!!"
Neji, however, frowned and looked at Inoichi Yamanaka beside him.
"Could it be the whispers in his mind... indirectly protected Naruto's brain?"
Inoichi Yamanaka: "..."
"Does he still need protection?"
"That's true, it seems he doesn't... he can resist it easily on his own, I don't believe it..." Neji sighed.
"Naruto, do you know that Shadow Clones can transmit memories and experiences back?"
Hearing this, Naruto, who was still struggling while hog-tied, was stunned.
Then his azure blue eyes were filled with confusion.
It was as if he was saying, 'Is that really a thing?'
Inoichi Yamanaka felt the wrinkles on his cerebral cortex smooth out.
Uzumaki Kushina: "Cough, cough, that damn old dog Hiruzen! I will definitely kill you!"
Minato Namikaze: That's right!
The golden-framed big screen continued.
Uzumaki Naruto defeated Mizuki and saved Iruka.
Iruka's words made him feel a long-lost sense of kinship. After Third Hokage Hiruzen Sarutobi, Iruka became another most important elder for Uzumaki Naruto.
At dawn.
Uzumaki Naruto closed his eyes and asked somewhat confusedly: "Iruka-sensei, how much longer?"
"Alright, you can open your eyes now," Iruka's voice came.
Uzumaki Naruto slowly opened his eyes.
The first ray of morning sun hit both their faces.
Looking at the smiling Iruka, Uzumaki Naruto seemed to realize something.
He couldn't help but reach out and touch his forehead; it was cold and hard.
The forehead protector on Iruka's forehead was gone, clearly, it was now on his forehead.
"Congratulations, Naruto, you are now a Genin."
Gaa—
The golden-framed big screen abruptly stopped.
While everyone was still somewhat unsatisfied.
The black-framed big screen had already displayed an image.
After Uchiha Fugaku and Hyuga Hiashi reached a consensus.
The two began to use their children as intermediaries to provide the necessary resources to little Naruto.
Half a year later.
Little Naruto lay on the bed, not asleep.
Yesterday, Hiruzen Sarutobi came for a visit.
After testing little Naruto's Chakra Refining Technique, he was very satisfied.
Of course, what was even more satisfying was that little Naruto's eyes were full of admiration for him, yearning for the Will of Fire, and desire for the position of Hokage.
In his joy, Hiruzen Sarutobi added a thousand ryo to little Naruto's living expenses for the month.
At the same time, he left behind a scroll.
It contained the most basic Three Basic Jutsu.
Clone Technique, Transformation Jutsu, Substitution Jutsu.
After a simple instruction, Hiruzen Sarutobi left contentedly.
Speaking of Ninjutsu, not long ago, Sasuke seemed to have already started trying to learn his family's Fire Release.
Shikamaru and the other two were the same.
Hinata would not be focusing on this aspect at this stage.
Only he and Sakura lacked direct resource support.
"Tomorrow, I'll have Sakura learn with me too."
"Sakura's Chakra has improved a lot during this time, so training is still useful."
He recalled Sakura crying every time she got tired, but then gritting her teeth and enduring, afraid that he would ignore her.
Little Naruto shook his head and smiled.
"Sakura has a great talent for Chakra control... It's a pity I don't have a suitable training method for her, but for now, this is better than doing nothing."
Getting up to pour himself a glass of warm water, little Naruto sat back on the bed. After a moment of silence, his brows furrowed slightly.
He began to sort through the useful information he had obtained from Hinata and Sasuke during this period.
"Let's start with the 'known' earliest information."
"Sengoku period... The Uchiha and Senju Clans fought a great war. The Senju won, but instead of destroying the Uchiha, they formed Konoha Village together with them."
"Other clans followed suit, either joining Konoha Village or forming new Villages themselves."
Little Naruto paused. This part of history, both the Hyuga and Uchiha provided the same information, though there were still slight differences.
"After that, the Ninja World... Yes, everyone in this world calls it the Ninja World."
"The Ninja World's structure was set: Konoha Village, Hidden Mist Village, Hidden Sand Village, Iwagakure, and Hidden Cloud Village."
"And with the Villages as the core, the Five Great Nations emerged: the Land of Fire, Water, Wind, Earth, and Lightning."
Senju Tobirama: Good! Finally, I can open my eyes and see the world!
Ōnoki: "Yes! I hope Black-Framed Naruto can get better information from one of the Five Great Ninja Villages and quickly defect!"
Mei Terumī: "Pah! What do you mean 'defect'? That sounds terrible!"
Little Naruto's brows were tightly furrowed. His intuition told him that there seemed to be many secrets between the Senju and Uchiha.
Unfortunately, there was too little information.
"After the Senju and Uchiha jointly established Konoha, the First Hokage and Second Hokage were both from the Senju Clan... No Uchiha ever became Hokage."
Something's not right! Very not right!
