Senju Tobirama: "Hmm... hard to judge."
Senju Hashirama: Hahaha~
Kurotsuchi: "It seems this kid suddenly isn't so annoying anymore."
After Konohamaru's inner monologue was broadcast from the black-framed large screen.
His reputation underwent a significant change.
Within the special space connecting the Pure Land World and the Ninja World.
In front of the bonfire.
White Fang placed an inexhaustible log into the fire.
Looking at Konohamaru on the black-framed large screen.
He remained silent for a long time.
"Shin'nosuke's child?"
"He is quite similar to Shin'nosuke."
The group of elder Ninja veterans in Konoha also felt this way.
After all, he was the son of Konoha's Eight Colors, Green Sprout, Sarutobi Shin'nosuke.
He resembled his father more than his uncle or grandfather.
Once the broadcast started.
Everyone quickly realized that this Sarutobi brat.
Didn't seem so annoying after all.
It was just a pity that his surname was Sarutobi.
This was an undeniable fact.
Unless... this kid committed an act of righteousness against his family.
Then there would be no problem.
He would instantly transform from a brat into an adorable mischief-maker.
["Ah..."]
[Ino rolled her eyes in great displeasure.]
["It seems you won't shed a tear until you see the coffin."]
["Idiot!"]
["Is that how you use the Invisibility Technique?!"]
["Are you afraid we won't be able to find you?"]
[As soon as Ino finished speaking.]
[Konohamaru, with two large lumps on his head, slowly lowered the invisibility cloth he was holding.]
["Hmph hmph hmph~"]
["I didn't expect to be seen through with just one glance."]
["As expected of the rumored super genius."]
["Even the women under him are this powerful."]
[Saying this, Konohamaru looked at Naruto.]
[His mouth curled slightly, carrying three parts arrogance, three parts nervousness, and three parts excitement.]
["Wait a minute!"]
[Konohamaru raised his hand.]
[Stopping Ino's raised fist just before it could fall.]
[Konohamaru's gaze gradually lowered.]
[But the arrogant look on his face didn't diminish at all.]
[In fact, after seeing the trio's stunned expressions and Ino's halted iron fist.]
[The arrogance on Konohamaru's face intensified.]
["Listen."]
["Being your subordinate isn't out of the question for me!"]
[Ino, Hinata, and even Naruto were stunned.]
[This kid.]
[His upper body and lower body were completely two extremes.]
This scene.
completely baffled everyone.
No one expected that this Sarutobi, the grandson of the Third Hokage, would be such a unique character.
[Just like that, clearly and vividly, beyond everyone's expectations...]
[He knelt.]
[His lower body was still trembling uncontrollably.]
[Clearly, Ino's raised fist made him instinctively fearful.]
[But inwardly, he was incredibly excited and anticipating.]
["What?"]
[Ino was dumbfounded, unsure whether to strike or not.]
["As a condition, you have to teach me the Ninjutsu to defeat Grandpa Hokage!"]
["Relying solely on that Glasses Teacher, I'll never be able to defeat the Village's strongest Grandpa Hokage in my lifetime!"]
["So, being your..."]
[Bang—]
[Before Konohamaru could finish.]
[Ino's fist fell.]
[This time, Konohamaru vaguely saw his Great-Grandmother.]
["Let's go."]
[Naruto shook his head.]
[This brat really was... the strangest Naruto had ever met.]
[The key point was Konohamaru's identity.]
[The resulting contrast was quite strong.]
["Mhm~"]
[Hinata nodded obediently.]
[Following beside Naruto.]
[This incident helped dissipate much of Hinata's suppressed anger.]
["Suddenly, I feel like this brat... isn't that annoying after all."]
["But he still needed a punch, right~"]
[Ino hugged Naruto's other arm.]
[However, just as the three passed by Konohamaru, who was lying on the ground.]
[Konohamaru stubbornly grabbed Naruto's ankle.]
["Boss... Boss Naruto!"]
[Naruto stopped walking.]
[Looking at the bruised and swollen Konohamaru.]
[He revealed a gentle smile.]
['Konohamaru?']
['Moegi is planning to follow him...']
['He is indeed different from all the members of the Sarutobi Clan I have met.']
['The child of Konoha's Eight Colors... it seems the Old Thing's eldest son is completely different from him.']
['Asuma Sarutobi... Homura Mitokado...']
[Suddenly, two photographs he had seen flashed in Naruto's mind.]
[The photo of Asuma Sarutobi and the photo of Homura Mitokado, one of the Hokage Advisors.]
[A child's appearance is determined by the combined effects of the parents' genes.]
['Could it be...']
[This possibility is not small.]
[Whether it was Sarutobi Shin'nosuke or Asuma Sarutobi, they both seemed different from the other members of the Sarutobi Clan.]
[Naruto let out a sneer.]
[It seemed he had stumbled upon an incredible secret.]
[Squatting down, Naruto helped Konohamaru up.]
["Teach you Ninjutsu to defeat your grandfather?"]
["Alright."]
["But before that, you must first become the Top Student of every graduating class at the Ninja Academy."]
["I don't think that should be a difficult task for you."]
[Naruto helped brush the dust off Konohamaru's clothes.]
[Konohamaru froze in place.]
[Looking at Naruto, whose face held a gentle smile.]
[He blinked.]
[This Fox Demon Big Brother didn't seem as terrifying as the legends claimed.]
[Of course, his strength is incredible!]
[I couldn't even muster the slightest thought of resistance...]
[He was different from what Grandpa said, and different from what everyone else said.]
[Konohamaru just stood there stunned.]
[Naruto patted his head, saying nothing more.]
[Seeing Konohamaru lost in thought, he left with Hinata and Ino.]
[This time, Konohamaru didn't chase after them again.]
[After the trio left, Moegi and Ise Udon arrived belatedly.]
[Moegi reached out and waved her hand in front of Konohamaru.]
[Konohamaru remained frozen in place.]
[Slap—]
[A slap landed.]
[Now both sides were symmetrical.]
[Konohamaru's eyes widened.]
[However, a fervent light sparked in his eyes.]
["Big Brother Naruto~!"]
[He turned around and shouted.]
[But Naruto's figure was no longer visible at the end of the street.]
[Konohamaru's heart raced.]
[He was incredibly excited.]
["Come on, let's go train!"]
["I heard that Big Brother Naruto's teacher at the Ninja Academy was Iruka Umino!"]
["We are about to enter the first grade, and Big Brother Naruto just graduated... Teacher Iruka might very well be our teacher too!"]
["We must go find Teacher Iruka, he must know how Big Brother Naruto trained!"]
[With that, Konohamaru excitedly ran off again.]
[Hearing this, Moegi's eyes also lit up.]
[She quickly trotted after him.]
[Ise Udon looked at the two, sighed helplessly, and quickly trotted to catch up.]
Iruka Umino: "???"
Iruka Umino: "I have a bad feeling about this."
The version of me in the black frame world seems a bit miserable... ahem, a bit overworked.
