Looking at the lively chatroom.
And... another version of himself, constantly gaining everyone's approval and his mother's praise.
Naruto was envious.
His eyes instantly turned red.
"Great Fox, I want to become like that too."
Inside the Sealing Space, the Nine-Tailed, who had already half-given up, lazily said, "Then just become it~"
He had originally hoped that the version of himself in the black frame world could regain freedom.
The result... was hard to describe.
However, the Nine-Tailed had thought about what would happen if he were in that world.
With his malice perception, he could clearly sense whether Naruto's words contained malice.
But looking at himself in the black frame world, he seemed to be in a calm state.
And facing Black-Framed Naruto's promise... the Nine-Tailed was very sure that the version of himself in the black frame world was tempted.
He completely forgot the idea he had when Black-Framed Naruto first emerged from the Sarutobi Clan: to beguile Black-Framed Naruto into his own shape.
Instead, it was as Orochimaru said, he was about to be molded into Black-Framed Naruto's shape.
The black frame scene continued.
[Hokage Building, Hokage Office.]
[Hoo——]
[Hiruzen Sarutobi exhaled a puff of smoke.]
[Today's meeting was finally over.]
[Although those Ninja Clans still had doubts and vigilance, the Uchiha Clan matter had been suppressed.]
["I should go see Sasuke."]
["Then I'll go see Naruto later. I wonder if that child has learned my Shuriken Shadow Clone Jutsu."]
["No, Shuriken Shadow Clone Jutsu is too difficult... I'll prepare some other gifts."]
[Hiruzen Sarutobi was in a good mood.]
[Firstly, a thorn that had been bothering him was removed.]
[And he didn't pay any price.]
[He stripped the identity of the 'instigator', Hokage Assistant Danzo Shimura, successfully making his good friend take the blame and quiet him down.]
[Although he didn't gain much from the Sharingan, it didn't matter; he could just get it from his good friend when needed.]
[And although the Ninja Clans felt a sense of 'if the lips are gone, the teeth will be cold', most of them had been stabilized by him.]
[Hiruzen Sarutobi felt a bright future ahead.]
["Heh heh."]
["Last time, Iruka also reported this child's extremely strong talent."]
["Very good, it's even better if he can't learn Shuriken Shadow Clone Jutsu."]
["Without my guidance, that child would probably still be fumbling with this jutsu."]
[Hiruzen Sarutobi's mind once again conjured the image of Minato Namikaze standing beside him.]
[However, the 'Minato Namikaze' in the image had six whiskers and his eyes were filled with the most sincere respect.]
[Then, with a grand wave of his hand, 'Minato Namikaze' charged forward like a perfect Jinchuriki from the Hidden Cloud Village.]
["To deal with you rabble, why would Hokage-sama need to act?"]
[Just thinking this, Hiruzen Sarutobi's old face broke into a smile like an old chrysanthemum.]
This scene made many people in the Ninja World shake their heads.
Poor Hiruzen Sarutobi, being played with like a toy by Black-Framed Naruto.
Of course, in reality, the main reason was Black-Framed Naruto's excellent acting skills.
Coupled with his age... currently, besides a few small ones, the only ones who knew Black-Framed Naruto's true appearance were Itachi Uchiha and Obito Uchiha.
Even Clan Head Fugaku and Hiashi Hyuga didn't know.
Hiashi Hyuga even thought his own daughter was unparalleled in the world.
Orochimaru: "Teacher Sarutobi's performance is as stable as ever."
Tobirama Senju: "Hmph! It's because of this idiot that Konoha ended up like this!"
Tobirama Senju: "He can't go up or down, he's the most useless. If you're going to be ruthless, be ruthless to the end!"
Tobirama Senju: "He couldn't even control Danzo. If he could, the Jinchuriki would be brainwashed by Danzo and then controlled by Danzo himself."
Tobirama Senju: "His way of managing subordinates is a complete mess!"
Tobirama Senju: "And he cherishes his own feathers... Useless! I must have been blind back then!"
Tobirama Senju's words made the F4 feel as disgusting as if they had eaten a fly.
However, what Tobirama Senju said was indeed true.
If the F4 had been a little more normal, Konoha wouldn't have been messed up like this.
["Hoo——"]
[Naruto took a deep breath.]
[Then he left, carrying a large number of scrolls.]
[He had to suppress the urge to become stronger quickly.]
[His body was still too young; he had to wait until after graduation to increase his training volume.]
[Uchiha Izumi was still lying in bed, and her recovery time might be counted in years.]
[Excessive cultivation and depletion of his foundation were not the results Naruto wanted.]
[Even though Uzumaki Clan blood flowed in his veins, and possibly Senju Clan blood as well.]
[But Naruto still didn't want to take risks.]
[Just like how he didn't look for an opportunity to leave Konoha yesterday.]
[Showing his talent too early would only quickly deplete his body.]
[For now, he needed to hide himself well, develop steadily, then choose good allies, and when the time was right, make a concerted effort!]
["Great Fox, do you have a suitable candidate?"]
["Hmm... or perhaps, should we find other Tailed Beasts?"]
[Naruto murmured softly.]
[From last night until now, Naruto had not actively cut off the mental channel to the Nine-Tailed in his mind.]
[In other words, the Nine-Tailed could perceive the outside world through him.]
[However, this time, his question received no answer from the Nine-Tailed.]
[Naruto wasn't disappointed.]
[He curled his lips slightly.]
[He murmured in the softest voice: "Although the Great Fox looks fierce, he's very good to me. He's tsundere and says one thing but means another, just like Sasuke... he must be very cute~"]
[Naruto said this on purpose.]
[As expected.]
[Inside the Sealing Space.]
[The Nine-Tailed heard that Naruto's evaluation of him had changed again.]
[His long ears immediately perked up.]
[Fierce?]
[Hmph! As the strongest Tailed Beast, isn't it normal to be fierce?!]
[Good to you?]
[Dream on, I'm just trying not to die!]
[Says one thing but means another?]
[Stupid brat, you've fallen into my trap and don't even realize it, hahaha~]
[Tsu... tsundere?!]
[Damn brat, have I been too nice to you?!]
[Cu... cu... cute?!]
[The Nine-Tailed's brain crashed.]
[From the time he could remember until now.]
[The word 'cute' was used on him for the first time.]
[While the Nine-Tailed found this unbelievable, anger surged within him.]
[But... the Nine-Tailed's heart also became active again, am I really cute? Bullshit! I'm a ferocious beast!]
["Stupid brat!"]
[Naruto naturally didn't know what the Great Fox in the Sealing Space was reacting.]
[Anyway, he just had to do what his intuition told him.]
[He had entered with every step a reconnaissance, but when leaving, Naruto's speed was much faster.]
[Not only because he confirmed there were no Anbu Ninja or Root Ninja lying in wait.]
[The main reason was that he could choose a familiar route to leave, heading from the Naka Shrine direction.]
[That river led to the back mountain, which was also the route he took back last night.]
[Soon, Naruto arrived at Naka Shrine.]
[He glanced at the somewhat eerie shrine.]
[Inside was the core location where the Uchiha Clan held secret decisions.]
[It was very hidden.]
[With just one glance, Naruto knew that it hadn't been discovered by Anbu Ninja or Root Ninja.]
[Or perhaps, it was just a meeting place and didn't need to be paid attention to at all.]
[He glanced at the Sharingan seal on the hidden entrance.]
[Inside was the Uchiha Clan's family history stone tablet.]
[But for now, Naruto could only put aside his thoughts and leave, carrying a large number of scrolls.]
