Naruto naturally heard the weariness in the Great Fox's voice.
He quickly called out a few times, but the Great Fox seemed to have truly fallen asleep. No matter how Naruto called, it didn't respond.
Looking at the golden Chakra gathered in his hand, Naruto's heart was a mess.
"The Great Fox... It actually paid such a price..."
"But... I feel like something's wrong... No, how can I think that?"
"The Great Fox became like this because of my request..."
Naruto murmured, but his heart didn't really think that way.
After all, the Nine-Tailed's acting wasn't great, and their previous conversation didn't fit the mischievous fox's personality.
However, now was not the time to think about such things.
Looking at Izumi's worried face.
Naruto took a deep breath and showed his signature smile.
"You'll be better very soon."
Then, he repeated what the Great Fox had just said.
Uchiha Izumi looked at his weak appearance and was moved.
"Naruto-kun~"
"Don't worry, I'm fine, I just need to sleep it off."
"You too, don't overthink it."
"The Great Fox wouldn't lie to me... It's just that you might need to sleep for quite some time to recover."
As he spoke, Naruto had already covered Uchiha Izumi's back wound with the golden Chakra that made him feel completely comfortable.
Uchiha Izumi's delicate body trembled.
That feeling came again.
"Naruto..."
Uchiha Izumi's voice was a little choked.
Naruto suddenly laughed:
"During the time you're asleep, I'll definitely be the one taking care of you."
"Let me think..."
After a pause, Naruto laughed: "In the future, I'll have a Shadow Clone stay at home to look after you."
"On the other hand, it's also to prevent any accidents, so I can take you away immediately."
"But you also know, when you fall asleep... Hmm... I'll put a diaper on you."
"As for food, I'll chew it up and feed it to you."
As his voice fell.
Uchiha Izumi's eyes widened.
At that moment, she had no time to think about anything else.
Her mind was filled with images of Naruto taking care of her.
Soon, her still pale face was covered in a sickly flush.
"So, you need to recover well, let your body absorb this Chakra, and repair your body."
"When you wake up, you'll be able to get your revenge."
"Don't worry, by then I won't mind your drool, but you have to..."
Before he could finish, Naruto's small mouth was covered by Uchiha Izumi's hand.
"No... don't say anymore..."
Uchiha Izumi had never experienced such an offensive.
She was completely flustered.
Naruto didn't say anything more either.
In reality, he was also very tired.
The events of tonight had only truly calmed down at this moment.
Naruto once again had a new understanding of his own strength.
However, none of this was the main point.
The main point now was to get a good night's sleep.
To recuperate.
The real test was tomorrow.
As long as no Anbu Ninja came to monitor him, everything would be easy.
Gradually, the breathing of the girl in his arms became steady.
"Naruto... thank you."
"Hmm~"
After Uchiha Izumi murmured.
She could no longer hold on.
This time, Naruto didn't provoke her further.
After all, the Great Fox had already said it.
It had consumed too much and would sleep for a while.
Similarly, Uchiha Izumi's injuries and physical exhaustion would also cause her to sleep for a long time.
After hearing rhythmic breathing by his ear.
Naruto, on the contrary, felt a little more energetic.
His thoughts drifted.
The storage scrolls and Ninjutsu scrolls hidden in Fugaku's house should still be there.
He would find time to retrieve them.
Those things were good for arming himself.
And then, there was the consideration for the future.
Before long, Naruto's eyelids also became heavy.
He soon fell into a deep sleep.
At this time, the settlement for the prize quiz also arrived.
Everyone watching the black-framed large screen became nervous.
Of course, this group of people was relatively small.
Most had stumbled at options [1] and [2].
"Ding—"
"This prize quiz has ended, settling now..."
"The top three to submit answers first—"
"Congratulations to Uzumaki Kushina for receiving a reward: a complete resurrection opportunity! Uzumaki Kushina can designate any location and any time in the Ninja World to resurrect!"
"Congratulations to Tsunade for receiving a reward: after the comparison viewing ends, she will be eight years younger!"
"Congratulations to Senju Tobirama for receiving a reward: one resurrection fragment! If a perfect resurrection is desired, he needs to achieve third place three more times, or second place two more times; after the comparison viewing ends, he can choose to resurrect at any time and any place!"
"Note: After obtaining a resurrection fragment, if first place is achieved, resurrection is possible after the comparison viewing ends, and the fragment will be converted into an 'any time, any place resurrection' fragment."
"Note: If another reward is obtained, one can choose to receive the reward at any time, or choose to continue to receive a suitable reward. Reward distribution is defaulted to after the comparison viewing ends."
???
Kushina getting first place didn't surprise everyone much.
Tsunade getting second place... well, that was acceptable too.
She was a big gambler, so winning once in a while was normal.
But the third place was actually the Second Hokage, Senju Tobirama?
This option [3]... it didn't seem like something Senju Tobirama would choose.
Uchiha Izuna: "Old pervert!"
Senju Tobirama: "Hehe, jealous, aren't you? I have a resurrection fragment!"
Inside the Root Organization base.
Danzo, who was originally enjoying the feeling of looking down on his good friend, immediately felt a chill down his spine.
He said without hesitation: "I agree!"
"Cooperate!"
Upon hearing this.
Hiruzen Sarutobi finally smiled.
However, after hearing Senju Tobirama's statement in the chat room.
His old face twitched again.
Senju Tobirama: "Monkey, Danzo, and you two Advisors who abetted evil, when this old man resurrects, it will be time to clean house! You will pay the price for what you have done!"
Orochimaru: "Indeed, because of them, Black-framed Naruto-kun suffered a lot. It's time for a reckoning."
Uzumaki Kushina: "Everyone, wait a minute!"
Uzumaki Kushina: "I think I can resurrect right now, Old Monkey, where are you? Get out here and die, you old hag!"
As Kushina's voice fell.
Everyone in the Ninja World was stunned.
Resurrect?!
To be honest, many people still couldn't believe it.
Just by answering questions, one could get a chance to resurrect.
Moreover, so far, no one had actually received a reward yet.
After all, most rewards were settled after the comparison viewing ended.
Kushina was the only one who had won first place twice.
If Kushina could really resurrect... For a moment, everyone's eyes filled with longing. After this, the difficulty of winning first place in the prize quizzes would only increase.
Senju Tobirama: "What a pity, I answered a bit late, otherwise I could have resurrected completely."
Ōnoki: "Sigh... this option [1] really misled people~!"
Ōnoki: "But seeing so many people stumble like this old man, my psychological balance is much better."
Mei Terumī: "Now there's really a good show to watch."
Mei Terumī: "Uzumaki Kushina can resurrect in the Ninja World right now. Is the Third Hokage already hiding?"
Fourth Raikage: "Hahaha~ The Third Hokage hasn't spoken for a long time."
Orochimaru: "Hiruzen-sensei has indeed gone into hiding... No, he should be looking for Danzo, plotting something."
At the same time.
In the Pure Land World, Kushina excitedly hugged her best friend.
"I can go see my son~!"
Kushina was very happy.
But looking at Mikoto's smile, she quickly calmed down again.
She suddenly remembered that she couldn't take action during the comparison viewing.
Even if she resurrected now, she wouldn't be able to vent her anger.
On one hand was her son, on the other was her best friend.
Kushina thought for a moment.
She said: "Mikoto, I'll help you with the next prize quiz."
"Kushina, you should resurrect first. After all, you've never truly seen your..."
Before Mikoto could finish, Kushina shook her head again.
"Answering questions here is actually easier to succeed."
"And... I haven't figured out how to... when I see Naruto. It's too sudden. Give me and Naruto some time to prepare."
"Besides, it's just the next prize quiz, it won't be long. We'll resurrect together then~"
"I wouldn't leave you alone here."
Mikoto was a little touched.
"The most important thing is, no one bothers us two here, and we can concentrate on answering questions, get a few more rewards, and then when we resurrect, the hope of turning the entire Ninja World upside down will be even greater~!"
"Oh, right, before that, let's wander around nearby and see if we can find Izumi."
"Hahaha~"
Kushina was very excited, Mikoto smiled helplessly and accompanied Kushina in her antics in the Pure Land World.
The next day, early morning.
Naruto woke up.
Looking at Uchiha Izumi still sleeping in his arms.
He rested for a while before slowly getting up.
After settling Izumi, he walked out of the bedroom.
The Shadow Clone saw him come out and immediately released the Shadow Clone Jutsu.
A large amount of memories and experiences flooded back.
A moment later.
Naruto took a deep breath.
The first hurdle was passed.
No Anbu Ninja had come looking for him all night.
But he couldn't let his guard down; he still needed to be cautious and be prepared to take Uchiha Izumi and escape Konoha at any time.
If today passed peacefully, then last night's events would truly be over.
He would also be able to continue to safely develop himself in Konoha.
Then, Naruto's gaze fell on the storage scroll that had been unsealed yesterday.
That was given to him by Fugaku through Sasuke.
Inside were the things Naruto desired most—historical documents.
The questions that had troubled him for years were finally about to be answered.
