How did things progress to this point?
Right.
The black-framed large screen has never shown relevant footage.
It's normal not to know.
Besides, it is indeed as Black-Framed Naruto described.
The two of them have long been legitimately together.
If based on Black-Framed Naruto's conjecture,
Uchiha Izumi regained consciousness long ago, but couldn't control her body.
But her body's senses were still active... Over the years, Black-Framed Naruto took meticulous care of her.
Since the man was willing and the woman was interested, how could they not be considered legitimately together?
It's just... Ino rolled her eyes.
Sakura clenched her fists.
They were blindsided and had their house stolen.
And their counterparts in the black frame world still hadn't realized it.
In fact, they might very well be focusing their attention on Yūgao Uzuki.
Mist welled up in Hinata's pure white eyes.
'I was clearly first!'
As for little Hanabi... she had already started eating.
Anko Mitarashi went to buy dango.
When she returned, she saw little Hanabi's adorable appearance.
She was momentarily blinded by the cuteness.
And gave away most of them.
Thus.
Little Hanabi returned holding the dango, not expecting her own sister to have zero interest.
In that case, there was nothing for it but to finish them herself.
After little Hanabi left, Anko Mitarashi was utterly heartbroken.
Kushina in the Pure Land World nodded with great satisfaction.
She was very pleased with this outcome.
Sure enough, boys figure things out once they reach a certain age.
Uchiha Izumi, however, was blushing furiously.
She had a feeling that her counterpart in the black frame world,
seemed like she had never been truly unconscious.
It should be said that her physical body was unconscious, but her consciousness had never 'fainted'.
Was it boring?
No, Uchiha Izumi had been watching very carefully.
The Nine-Tailed inside Naruto always had storybooks to read.
And she wouldn't feel bored or monotonous either.
Naruto's Shadow Clone had been guarding her side.
It would often read the contents of the storybooks to her.
It would also talk to her, although it was usually the Shadow Clone or Naruto's main body at night talking to itself.
No one could refuse such an excellent boy.
Even her counterpart in this world was the same.
The black-framed large screen continued the scene.
["Mm~"]
[Mm???]
[Naruto blinked.]
[He was certain he hadn't misheard.]
[This sound was indeed emitted by the person beside him.]
[Uchiha Izumi, who only had consciousness but couldn't control her body.]
[Actually responded!!!]
[This meant that the day Uchiha Izumi woke up was not far off.]
[Naruto was a little excited inside.]
["This is great~"]
[Smooch—]
["No... I can't be too hasty."]
["After sleeping for so many years, her body needs to 'revive' and will require a period of conditioning and adaptation."]
[Naruto was genuinely happy from the bottom of his heart.]
[After that involuntary kiss.]
[Uchiha Izumi's pretty face visibly heated up.]
[That hint of crimson was better than the world's finest makeup.]
[However.]
[After that single muffled response, Uchiha Izumi couldn't make any more sounds.]
[However, the crimson flush on her pretty face was the best proof that she was waking up.]
[He didn't hold back anymore.]
[Naruto's lips curled slightly; he had known Uchiha Izumi had been 'awake' for a long time.]
[The current situation was the best.]
["No slacking off~"]
["Although you can't move yet, you can already start cultivating."]
["Later, you must meditate properly."]
["Increasing your spiritual power will be of great help to you."]
[He stared at Izumi for a while.]
[There was no further response.]
[Naruto wasn't disappointed.]
[He continued to tell Izumi about the things that had happened recently.]
[Soon, Naruto noticed.]
[Izumi's lips were slightly curved upward.]
[Although the arc was very small, Naruto still caught it.]
[...]
[The next day, early morning.]
[After carefully feeding Izumi and changing her diaper, he finally closed the bedroom door, leaving a Shadow Clone to continue guarding her.]
[He then started preparing breakfast for himself and for the rookie 9.]
[The quantity was huge, and the Shadow Clone hadn't stopped working.]
[Because Hinata said last night that she wanted to eat Naruto's breakfast.]
[Therefore, Naruto got up early to busy himself.]
[He prepared over a hundred meat buns alone.]
[Fortunately, the Shadow Clone was there.]
[Hmm... the one that meditated outside overnight.]
[It had started kneading and proofing the dough early.]
[It truly achieved the goals of learning from Naruto, becoming Naruto, and surpassing Naruto.]
Fourth Raikage: "Hahaha~"
Fourth Raikage: "He doesn't even spare his own Shadow Clone."
Mei Terumī: "True, but even though the Shadow Clone returns memories and experience, the feeling of fatigue will still be there, no matter how much you try to eliminate it."
Kurotsuchi: "Then you underestimate Black-Framed Naruto. Every time the Shadow Clone inside the Sealing Space is released, isn't it always a massive influx of memories, experience, and powerful spiritual energy shock?"
Mei Terumī: "That's true. Black-framed Naruto-kun is awesome~"
Mabui: "Judging by this, if low-level Genjutsu, or even some powerful Genjutsu, were cast on Black-framed Naruto-kun."
Mabui: "I'm afraid Black-framed Naruto-kun wouldn't feel a thing."
Kurenai Yuhi: "Yes, I've never seen anyone able to persist like this, meditating to cultivate spiritual power. But this cultivation is too monotonous; even Ninja specializing in Genjutsu can't stick to it day after day, without fail."
[There was something.]
[Naruto had been concerned about it since last night.]
[What happened to the student who failed the simple Phantom Clone Technique test.]
[And that Mizuki, who incited that student to draw attention while he took the opportunity to steal the scroll of seals.]
[But in the end, he couldn't even break the seal.]
[The outline of a plan appeared in Naruto's mind.]
[The scroll of seals held considerable temptation for Naruto.]
[Naruto was self-aware regarding Ninjutsu development.]
[Developing Ninjutsu requires a lot of talent.]
[Even if he could develop various forms of Rasengan, they were all built upon the foundation created by Fourth Hokage Minato Namikaze.]
[In other words, once the foundation is laid, you can build whatever you want; as long as the structure doesn't collapse, it's a new Ninjutsu.]
[In Ninjutsu development, the foundation—the underlying logic of the Ninjutsu—is a major difficulty.]
[It can only be said that Second Hokage, Tobirama Senju was a super genius in this area, enough to be described as a monster.]
In the Pure Land World, Senju Tobirama was praised by Black-Framed Naruto once again, and he felt incredibly pleased.
He couldn't help but cross his arms and nod continuously.
"He knows talent~!"
[Such genius is generational.]
["It's a pity. Second Hokage, Tobirama Senju died too early, and too casually."]
Senju Tobirama: "Alas... Black-framed Naruto-kun is absolutely right."
Senju Tobirama: "This Old Thing truly regrets it now."
["If he hadn't died, Konoha wouldn't be like this now, nor would those four Old Things have the chance to harm Konoha."]
["Konoha's overall strength would even reach a higher level."]
["What a pity... not only did he die, but he also left behind a scourge."]
Senju Tobirama: "..."
["A certain document records that Second Hokage, Tobirama Senju seemed to have developed a Ninjutsu capable of reviving the dead, although it's not true resurrection... but the revived person possesses near immortality, as long as the caster doesn't release the technique..."]
["If this Jutsu truly exists, I must learn it."]
["Immortal... tireless... perfect. I'll revive Second Hokage, Tobirama Senju in the future and make him compensate for his own decisions and the mistake of leaving a scourge for Konoha!"]
["Hmm... I'll just make him develop Ninjutsu day and night. Developing Ninjutsu is dangerous, but once revived and immortal... Second Hokage, Tobirama Senju won't have any pain receptors then, right?"]
["No need for pity."]
