Chapter 174 - Chapter 174 Public Opinion

Fourth Raikage: "As expected of the Fourth Hokage's son."

Mei Terumī: "That's a pretty good battle plan~"

Uchiha Obito: "Useless Kakashi, you couldn't even take down a Zabuza."

That one sentence immediately made two people uncomfortable.

Might Guy: "Kakashi, I told you to stop reading those kinds of books… Now look, you actually lost to an opponent I could kick away with one blow."

Pure Land World.

Zabuza Momochi closed his eyes.

Compared to the embarrassment of his strength.

What Zabuza Momochi wanted even less was for Haku to see what he looked like after her death.

Wait.

What about himself in the black frame world?

Black-Framed Naruto… Zabuza Momochi had a bad premonition.

[Zabuza Momochi was rescued by Haku.]

[Kakashi Hatake could only watch.]

[He didn't expose the suspicious identity of the other party, because after Haku took Zabuza Momochi away, he immediately collapsed.]

[Due to excessive Chakra consumption, Kakashi Hatake was bedridden for a week.]

[During this period, he had Team 7 start tree climbing training.]

This was undoubtedly too late.

In the black frame world, even Sasuke, who didn't get along much with the Naruto Gang, had already learned tree climbing and water walking.

Second Hokage Senju Tobirama: "It can only be said that the Ninja Academy has never made any progress."

Second Hokage Senju Tobirama: "It has even regressed. This basic skill should be part of the Ninja Academy's curriculum."

[During tree climbing training, Naruto met Haku.]

[Haku's words caused Naruto's mindset to change for the first time.]

[Upon parting, Haku told Naruto that he was a boy.]

[Naruto stood stunned.]

Huh?

It wasn't just Naruto in the gold-framed big screen; many people were also utterly bewildered.

This Haku, who was even cuter and more beautiful than a girl... was a boy?

The Uchiha Clan was excited.

[Under Gato's manipulation.]

[The second battle arrived as scheduled.]

[This time, Kakashi Hatake was serious.]

[Haku, on the other hand, was dealt with by Naruto and Sasuke.]

[Under the Ice Release Secret Jutsu, Sasuke was defeated.]

[Naruto's lacking actions also caused Sasuke to lose his chance to escape.]

[The two fell into a bitter struggle.]

[Before long, Sasuke, to protect Naruto, was impaled like a porcupine by senbon.]

Uzumaki Kushina: "Uh… Haku is a good kid, completely without killing intent, otherwise the two of them would have been in trouble."

Minato Namikaze: Haku, good kid~

Uchiha Mikoto: "Sharingan? Sasuke has had it awakened for so long… is it only now reactivating?"

Naruto, Sasuke: "…"

How embarrassing.

[Therefore, Naruto became enraged.]

[Nine-Tailed Chakra erupted from his body.]

[The battle ended quickly.]

[Haku lost to the Nine-Tailed.]

[On the other side.]

[Zabuza Momochi also lost.]

[However, at the critical moment, Haku blocked a fatal blow for Zabuza Momochi.]

[Naruto, with his strong empathy, launched his first Talk no Jutsu.]

[Zabuza Momochi's emotional defenses broke.]

["Kid... Ninjas are also human, how can they truly have no emotions?"]

["It was truly great to be able to fight with you all in the end."]

[Afterward, Zabuza Momochi killed Gato.]

[He then painstakingly made his way to Haku's side.]

[Mission complete.]

[The bridge was named — Great Naruto Bridge.]

In the Pure Land World, Zabuza Momochi's mood was somewhat complex.

Haku couldn't keep her smile down.

Orochimaru: "This Gato fellow has quite a business mind, he's overqualified as a bridge builder."

Ino Yamanaka: "Naruto's mouth is so eloquent?"

Sakura Haruno: "What else did you expect?"

Uchiha Sasuke: "Hmph, boring."

Naruto's thoughts were completely different from before.

"Thank you, Great Fox."

Inside the Sealing Space, the Nine-Tailed's delicate body trembled.

"Shut up, This Fox!"

"You haven't learned anything good, but you've learned how Black-Framed Naruto disgusts This Fox, haven't you?!"

"Hehe, Great Fox, you're actually quite cute too~!"

"Every time there's a crisis, you help me, so there's no problem with me thanking you, right~"

Nine-Tailed: "…"

"If you talk to This Fox in that tone again, This Fox will kill you!"

And this mission also made many Ninja fall silent.

No wonder Black-Framed Naruto described the Ninja World in such a way.

He even wanted to reshape the Ninja World.

[After that, the Chunin Exams were coming.]

[The Joint Chunin Exams.]

[Team Guy, Team 7, Team Eight, and Team Ten all submitted their applications for the Chunin Exams.]

[Before long, Ninja from other Ninja villages also arrived.]

[On this day, Naruto was playing with Konohamaru and others, when Konohamaru bumped into the Sunagakure squad who had come to participate in the Chunin Exams.]

Gak—

The gold-framed big screen image came to an abrupt halt.

Immediately after, the black-framed large screen lit up again.

[As the matter was exposed.]

[The entire Konoha fell into panic and anger.]

[Naruto watched the change in the crowd's emotions.]

[He remained silent for a long time.]

[It wasn't until the Great Fox's voice sounded that he slowly stood up.]

["What's wrong?"]

["Isn't this the result you wanted to see?"]

[Naruto shook his head.]

[Then he created a Shadow Clone, sending it to follow Moegi.]

[And would only dispel itself after confirming Moegi was safe.]

[Moegi possessed the bloodline of the Senju Clan.]

[Naruto believed that Old Thing Sandaime would absolutely not waste such a talent.]

[However, in this situation, Iruka-sensei would probably announce the class assignments were delayed tomorrow at school.]

["Great Fox."]

["Hmm?" Inside the Sealing Space, the Great Fox lazily rolled over.]

["What are you thinking now?"]

["Now is not the time to act, unless you want to defect with Izumi."]

[Naruto shook his head and said in the mental space:]

["These people have shown me the horror of controlling the direction of public discussion among villagers... No, this should be what the book calls 'public opinion'?"]

["Old Thing and Danzo seem to both possess the ability to control absolute public opinion."]

["Thinking about it, on the night of the Uchiha Clan massacre, Danzo Shimura losing his position as Hokage's assistant seemed to have a significant impact."]

["This time, Old Thing might use another method to clear his name."]

["Now I... can also use public opinion to fight back."]

["Writing a book on 'Protracted War'... needs to be put on the agenda."]

[Bang—]

[As his words fell.]

[Naruto created several Shadow Clones.]

[He had the Shadow Clones use Transformation Jutsu again to create public opinion.]

[The Great Fox also fell silent.]

[Recalling Naruto's various encounters after leaving the Sarutobi Clan compound.]

[The Great Fox sneered.]

["Indeed, when it comes to darkness, treachery, and evil, no one is better than you humans."]

["This Fox is too lazy to think, just hurry up and collect the storybooks for This Fox, that's what's important."]

["Also, even if you're already twelve years old, you're not allowed to train like a madman as you did before!"]

[Naruto's lips curled into a slight smile, "Got it, Scum Fox."]

[Great Fox: "???"]

[What does that mean now?]

[Never mind, for the sake of the storybooks, I'll let it slide for now. I'll settle the score with you when This Fox has time.]

[For the next half day.]

[Something unexpected happened in Konoha.]

[Anbu, Root Organization, Sarutobi Clan, Third Hokage, Danzo, Konoha Military Police Force, etc.]

[Their reputation plummeted.]

[The reputation of the former Konoha Military Police Force, which was the Uchiha Clan, soared!]

[There were even rumors that the Uchiha Clan was intentionally targeted by certain individuals who exploited their extreme personalities, forcing them to consider a coup…]

[On this day, Naruto profoundly realized the terror of public opinion.]

[The situation was still escalating.]

[Naruto wanted to see how Old Thing would handle this move.]

[Push Danzo out to take the blame?]

[Or cut off a limb to save the body?]
