Orochimaru: "For Black-framed Naruto-kun, a tiny Nine-Tailed is easily subdued!"
Kurama (Yang): "You damn Orochimaru, are you looking for death?!"
Uzumaki Kushina: "Hmm?"
Minato Namikaze: "Hmm?"
Kurama fell silent.
Forget it, forget it, the chat room is too half-baked.
After becoming a guinea pig for little Naruto's various experiments.
Shikamaru began to constantly try meditation, summarize its effects, and simultaneously practice and analyze Genjutsu, among other things.
Shikamaru had a dead-fish look in his eyes every day, giving off a feeling of utter despair.
Time flew by as little Naruto diligently underwent various trainings.
Another month later.
Iruka saw little Naruto as if he had seen a ghost; he no longer took the usual path, jumping onto rooftops as soon as class ended.
It was as if little Naruto was some ancient beast.
As soon as he saw that wisp of yellow hair, he would turn and run without the slightest hesitation.
Fortunately, Shikamaru gave Iruka a solution.
If he found some difficult Ninjutsu and gave it to little Naruto, then he wouldn't have to avoid little Naruto like this anymore.
And so!
Iruka went completely bankrupt after this semester.
Ninjutsu wasn't cheap.
Ninjutsu that would take him a lot of time to master himself, little Naruto would learn in... almost never more than two days.
Moreover, when he demonstrated it to Iruka, the proficiency he showed made Iruka think every time that little Naruto had already learned it and was just teasing him.
And through little Naruto's continuous effort and constant attempts.
Finally, the effect of meditation became apparent.
He heard the Great Fox's voice once again.
As for why he actively sought out the Great Fox, it was simple: little Naruto had already realized that the Ninja Academy had completely lost its purpose for him.
If it weren't for the protection of his Ninja Academy identity, he wouldn't even bother sending a Shadow Clone there.
That day, little Naruto was training in the mountains behind the village.
He sent a Shadow Clone to the academy to meditate with its head on the desk.
Iruka didn't even dare to call him out.
He was afraid little Naruto would ask him questions in class.
Looking at little Naruto lie with his head on the desk, he even glared at the classmates near little Naruto.
For no other reason than to warn them not to wake little Naruto.
Iruka's mood during class every day was like a roller coaster.
Rock Lee: "I'm so envious... I wish I could use Ninjutsu too."
Kakashi Hatake: "No, Shadow Clones can do many types of training, but not yours, Lee."
Might Guy: "That's not absolutely true. If it's used to train reactions for dodging various attacks, it can still be useful."
Uzumaki Naruto: "So Shadow Clones have such a use!"
Uzumaki Naruto: "Why didn't I ever realize it?"
Uzumaki Naruto: "I've decided, I'll train like this from now on too!"
Many people nodded repeatedly.
This was indeed a good method.
But... the Chakra consumption seemed to be quite a lot.
Plus, one also had to be able to withstand the memories and experiences transmitted back by the Shadow Clones.
This was also no small challenge.
One careless mistake, and it was indeed possible to be shocked into idiocy by the vast memories and experiences transmitted back by the Shadow Clones.
Uchiha Sasuke: "Idiot!"
Sasuke was a bit upset.
The murmurs were of no small help to Naruto.
Others didn't have the help of the murmurs, nor did they have vast Chakra.
They didn't even dare to easily use Multiple Shadow Clone Technique.
Let alone use a large number of Shadow Clones to train?
Their progress would indeed easily be outpaced by Naruto.
Sasuke once again felt pressure from Naruto, and his sense of crisis was through the roof.
"Foolish brat!"
"What do you want with this fox?!"
"Just stick to your Ninja make-believe games!"
"Get back here, That old man is coming. If you don't want to be caught and have the seal reinforced, don't contact this fox on your own!"
Drip—
Little Naruto 'saw' the dimly lit sewer flash by in front of him.
The voice of that Great Fox kept echoing in his ears.
Unfortunately, the image of that dimly lit sewer only flashed through his mind.
But this also made little Naruto confirm that it was the mental world.
In the mental world, he could meet the Great Fox sealed within his body.
The voice also came from there.
'My mental strength isn't strong enough... that's why I was interfered with by the Great Fox and exited the mental world on my own.'
'If my mental strength were stronger, even if the Great Fox wanted to interfere with me, it wouldn't be so easy.'
Little Naruto took a deep breath.
'The Great Fox sealed within my body seems very annoyed.'
'But it also seems to be afraid of the seal being reinforced.'
'Also... Ninja make-believe game?'
'Can the Great Fox see or hear things through me?'
'When it says that, it might also have the intention of misleading me... What isn't a Ninja make-believe game? It can do something even more powerful? Is it deliberately saying that to make me subconsciously generate these thoughts?'
...
Little Naruto slowly opened his eyes, a slight smile on his lips.
"The training was successful."
"Indeed, Third Grandfather wouldn't lie to me. As long as I deeply grasp the Will of Fire, everything I do will be twice as effective!"
Little Naruto said deliberately, adding more firewood to the bonfire.
Was it the smell of his grilled fish that attracted That old man?
Whoosh whoosh whoosh—
Since he sensed someone peering at him, little Naruto naturally couldn't keep meditating. He stood up, his hand on his Ninja tool pouch.
He took out a few shuriken from his Ninja tool pouch and threw them in the direction of the Chakra he sensed.
Thud thud thud—
In the blink of an eye.
All the shuriken hit the tree trunk.
The bullseyes drawn on the tree trunk were all pierced by shuriken.
"Heh heh."
"Very good."
"It's clear that you, Naruto, are truly working hard."
Hiruzen Sarutobi's voice sounded.
But it came from the other side.
Little Naruto could clearly sense that That old man had just used the Body Flicker Technique to dodge.
After coming out, he still pretended to have just arrived, no, pretended to have just happened to be passing by.
Little Naruto frowned slightly, then quickly returned to normal, a smile appearing on his face.
'This That old man... did he not get information about me from when I was at the Ninja Academy?'
'He doesn't seem like he knows I've already mastered quite a few Ninjutsu... Does he think I'm practicing throwing shuriken?'
As the thought finished, little Naruto said in surprise: "Hokage Grandfather~!"
His joy was evident.
Hiruzen Sarutobi's smile grew even wider.
"Not in class, but came here to train?"
Little Naruto was slightly stunned.
'It seems this That old man really doesn't know what I've been doing at the Ninja Academy.'
'No, it's impossible that he knows nothing at all. He must have seen my report card.'
'But why hasn't he shown up to check my training progress for so long?'
'Was he held up by something?'
'Thinking about it carefully, it seems ever since the Uchiha stopped actively having Sasuke help me... is there some connection?'
Orochimaru: "See, I told you, Black-framed Naruto-kun is truly omnipotent!"
Orochimaru: "He deduced so much information just from Hiruzen Sensei's attitude."
Orochimaru: "And the accuracy is very high!"
Uchiha Fugaku: "At this time... our clan did indeed have meetings every three days, I didn't expect the Third Hokage to already be planning how to deal with us."
Orochimaru: "That's Danzo's business. Hiruzen Sensei should be helping Asuma smooth things over and looking after Asuma, who just became a Guardian Ninja in the Land of Fire's Daimyo's mansion."
Asuma Sarutobi: "Orochimaru, I became a Guardian Ninja not because of my father."
