Konohamaru Sarutobi: "Yay~!"
Konohamaru Sarutobi: "I knew it, whether it's this world or the black frame world, Big Brother Naruto wouldn't refuse me as his little brother~!"
The scene on the black-framed large screen, and Konohamaru's comment in the chat room.
Clearly surprised everyone.
The brat who was instantly annoying upon his appearance.
How did he become more endearing the more they watched?
Coupled with Black-Framed Naruto's recent thoughts.
Many people nodded unconsciously, indicating agreement.
Definitely not the bloodline of the Third Hokage.
Inside the Root Organization's base.
Hiruzen Sarutobi's face was terrifyingly grim.
His close friend, Danzo, glanced at him indifferently.
Hiruzen, oh Hiruzen.
I told you, you would regret it.
[In a flash, it was the day for team assignments.]
[Under a series of operations by Hiruzen Sarutobi.]
[Konoha temporarily returned to peace.]
[Team assignments naturally arrived as scheduled.]
[Early morning.]
[When Naruto washed up, he also brought Izumi to wash up with him.]
[Everything was as usual.]
[The difference was that on this day, Naruto put on Konoha's Ninja forehead protector.]
[Standing in front of the mirror, Naruto combed his long hair.]
[Inside the Sealing Space, the Great Fox rolled its eyes.]
["Hey, hey, hey, brat, aren't there enough chattering girls around you already?"]
[Naruto: "..."]
["My hair is long; if I don't groom it, I'll look sloppy."]
["Would you like it if all your tails were bristling?"]
[Hearing this, the Great Fox rolled over and continued to read the storybook Naruto wrote for it.]
["How could This Fox possibly care?"]
[That's what it said.]
[But the Great Fox still instinctively smoothed its nine tails.]
[Naruto shook his head and smiled.]
[Today was the day for team assignments.]
[He had a strong premonition that the Jōnin Instructor would definitely be Minato Namikaze's disciple, Copy Ninja Kakashi Hatake.]
[If it was like this, it would be easy to handle.]
[Outwardly, he would have a Jōnin Instructor with a Sharingan, affiliated with the Hokage lineage.]
[Inwardly, he would have Yūgao Uzuki, who had retired from the Anbu.]
[Naruto's secret would no longer be at risk of exposure.]
[Kakashi Hatake?]
[The difficulty of turning him was much lower than Yūgao Uzuki.]
[Naruto was confident that with just a few words, he could stir up a storm in Kakashi's calm heart.]
[Moreover, as Minato Namikaze's disciple, no matter how bad he was, he wouldn't be like that Uchiha Obito.]
["Great Fox."]
["As long as Kakashi becomes my Jōnin Instructor, I can be liberated."]
["That white-haired kid?" The Great Fox expressed confusion.]
["Mm."]
["You decide." The Great Fox picked its ears, not wanting to be led by Naruto into thinking.]
[It didn't want to, and was lazy; anyway, just listening to him was correct.]
[Naruto chuckled softly.]
[He carried Izumi back to bed.]
[After leaving a Shadow Clone, he then got up and went to the Ninja Academy.]
Everyone nodded.
Indeed.
There aren't many beasts like Uchiha Obito.
Only the Uchiha clan is formidable, producing two at once.
Hmm... almost three.
If Uchiha Shisui counted as half.
As for what the Great Fox just said.
Many people expressed disagreement.
Being handsome is certainly useful.
Appearance has an absolute bewildering effect on kunoichi, and this effect is not small.
On the contrary, it's very significant.
[When they arrived at the Ninja Academy gate.]
[A fragrant breeze wafted over.]
[No need to guess who was rushing over.]
["Sigh..."]
[A sigh from an old father came from afar.]
[After the group gathered, they entered the classroom together.]
[The originally noisy class became completely silent after the Naruto Gang entered.]
[Naruto keenly sensed that the usual malice had significantly decreased.]
[Clearly, public opinion had taken effect.]
[He even caught glimpses of many complex gazes from the corner of his eye.]
[At this moment.]
[A gaze caught Naruto's attention.]
[Following the feeling, he looked over.]
[Their eyes met.]
[Hmph!]
[Sasuke snorted coldly.]
[Still indulging in playing Ninja house.]
[Naruto blinked.]
[Why was this kid becoming more and more annoying?]
[Sitting back in his familiar seat.]
[Ino and Hinata were on his left and right, making others quite envious.]
[Hinata, with her long hair, the assertive Hinata.]
[Her charm was incomparable to the other girls.]
[However, the Goddess Hinata, who was practically the leader of the girls in the entire grade.]
[In front of Naruto, she was always as docile as a kitten.]
[How could this not make the boys envious?]
[Moreover, besides Hinata, there were also Ino and Sakura.]
[Plus, the senior, already graduated, Tenten-senpai.]
[This popularity with women was enough to make people envious and jealous.]
[Just as the girls were arguing over who would be in the same class as Naruto, Iruka entered the classroom.]
[Just a few days ago, when he saw Iruka on the street, he had a cheerful face.]
[How did he appear with dark circles under his eyes after just one day?]
[That expression of utter despair... was so similar to back then.]
["Alright, everyone, quiet down."]
[Iruka cleared his throat, patted his face, and after adjusting his state, he finally spoke.]
[The class quickly quieted down, everyone looking expectantly at the roster in Iruka's hand.]
["Very good."]
[Iruka nodded with satisfaction.]
["As you all know, you are all Ninjas now."]
["However, although you are Ninjas, you are still Genin, all new recruits, and lack experience in many things. Therefore, according to custom, the Village will assign you to teams and send Jōnin Instructor to lead you."]
["This means that in the future, for a long time, you will be performing missions in three-person squads."]
["Including the Jōnin Instructor, that makes a four-person squad."]
["The Ninja world is not as safe as school."]
["Teacher only needs you students to remember one thing."]
[Saying this, Iruka paused.]
[His gaze swept over every familiar face.]
["Don't push yourselves too hard."]
["Also, I hope to attend each and every one of your weddings in the future."]
[After saying that, Iruka also felt he had said too much.]
[These words shouldn't have come from him.]
["Alright, now I will announce the team assignments."]
[Thus, the somewhat heavy atmosphere lightened considerably.]
Iruka's words made many people nod subconsciously.
As a teacher at the Ninja Academy.
Iruka was qualified.
This is how a Ninja Academy teacher should be, not like Mizuki.
Iruka clearly knew what awaited these children.
A kind reminder.
Just enough, not too much.
Saying more would be excessive.
["Your Jōnin Instructor will come to pick you up shortly."]
[As he spoke, a Jōnin appeared at the classroom door.]
["Team One..."]
[Hmm?!]
[He glanced at the roster.]
[Iruka frowned deeply.]
[These team assignments... are they wrong?]
