Senju Tobirama: "He won't make a move."
Senju Tobirama: "Black-framed Naruto-kun wouldn't be unable to restrain himself over something like this."
Orochimaru: "Indeed, that child has a clear goal."
Orochimaru: "However, I think Black-framed Naruto-kun should also reveal his hand a little."
Orochimaru: "Hehe, preparing for the grand drama to come!"
Mei Terumī: "Did you notice?"
Mei Terumī: "Black-framed Naruto-kun's eyes have changed!"
Fourth Raikage: "The sleeping dragon has awakened!"
Kurotsuchi: "Tsk tsk tsk... this number is too fierce. I can't think of a way to counter it."
Kurotsuchi: "Grandpa's Dust Release could instantly wipe them out, but he'd probably die too."
Ōnoki: "Hehe, you overestimate this old man~"
Second Tsuchikage, Mū: It's my Dust Release.
Ōnoki: "Lord Mū?!"
...["It's all thanks to Grandpa Hokage's guidance." Naruto's tone was no longer as enthusiastic as before.]
[Hiruzen Sarutobi's heart sank.]
[He still maintained a smile on his face.]
["Hahaha~"]
["You yourself have also worked hard enough."]
["Also, don't ever become complacent like this. Grandpa still has many things he hasn't taught you yet~!"]
[As he spoke, Hiruzen Sarutobi bravely took a few steps forward and patted Naruto's shoulder.]
[He didn't rub Naruto's head again.]
[Because, at this moment, Naruto no longer bent down slightly. If he wanted to touch Naruto's head again, he'd have to stand on tiptoes.]
[If he hadn't grown up in Konoha, Hiruzen Sarutobi probably wouldn't believe that a child just over twelve years old could grow so fast.]
[Naruto's lips curled slightly: "I will work hard!"]
["Now... I should be able to gain everyone's approval, right?"]
["That's inevitable!" Hiruzen Sarutobi gave an affirmative answer.]
[He also breathed a sigh of relief.]
['It seems it was a misconception.']
['Indeed... how could it be possible!']
['Alas... I'm really getting old. If I were a few years younger, how could I lack such magnanimity?']
[While secretly shaking his head, Hiruzen Sarutobi also felt immensely relieved.]
['Minato, do you see?']
['Your child is even more outstanding than you~!']
[Hiruzen Sarutobi this time truly foresaw the future where the combination of the strongest Hokage and a perfect Jinchuriki would make their names resound throughout the Ninja World.]
["Alright, it's good that you understand. Grandpa still has a lot of things to be busy with. When I'm free later, I'll teach you properly... If you have time during this period, come help out in Grandpa's office."]
[Saying this, Hiruzen Sarutobi patted his waist, self-deprecatingly saying: "I'm old, the future belongs to you young people."]
["Not at all, Grandpa will live to be a hundred."]
Uzumaki Kushina: "Hehe, I really hope you live to be a hundred!"
Uzumaki Kushina: "Naruto is right, why should you die?"
Uzumaki Kushina: "It's too easy!"
Senju Tobirama: "Hmph!"
Senju Tobirama: "Living to be a hundred, that would be quite a calculation."
Uchiha Izuna: I'm afraid it won't survive, it will choose to commit suicide like White Fang.
Ōnoki: "That's not necessarily true. From the current situation, Konohamaru is very likely not to be purged."
Ōnoki: "Then, for the sake of his grandson, the Third Hokage might just cling to life, fearing Black-Framed Naruto's wrath."
Kurotsuchi: "Serves him right!"
Kurotsuchi: "He and that Danzo Shimura deserve to be tortured to death!"
Orochimaru: "Perhaps I was soft-hearted before... In reality, Teacher Sarutobi is indeed the biggest accomplice; he is not innocent."
Orochimaru: "Hehe, Teacher Sarutobi has already noticed Black-framed Naruto-kun's change, he just doesn't want to believe it."
Orochimaru: "Don't believe me? Just watch."
The black-framed large screen continued:
["Haha~" Hiruzen Sarutobi just shook his head and chuckled.]
[He glanced out of the corner of his eye at the scroll of seals he had placed under the tree earlier.]
[He squinted slightly.]
[It's gone?]
[No, no, it must have been blown away by the wind that just picked up.]
["Is Grandpa going back?"]
["Yes, I've been a bit busy recently."]
["Then I'll see you off."]
["... "]
[They chatted for a few minutes, dragging it out for about a minute.]
[Naruto smiled and walked towards the spot where the scroll of seals had been placed.]
[When he turned around, he was already holding the half-person tall scroll of seals.]
["Grandpa, don't forget this."]
["Alright, alright, I almost forgot."]
[Hiruzen Sarutobi sighed in relief once again.]
[Then he shook his head and chuckled.]
[He really... really was getting old.]
[Did this child still need any tests?]
[Trust people you use, don't use people you doubt.]
[Moreover, this child was raised by him since childhood.]
[If there was any problem, the Will of Fire wouldn't always be perfect.]
[His Will of Fire quotations wouldn't update so quickly either.]
[He took the scroll of seals, and there was nothing abnormal.]
[Only then did Hiruzen Sarutobi give Naruto a few more instructions, then passed through the Shadow Clone army and left Training Ground No. 7.]
[The moment he emerged, Hiruzen Sarutobi realized that the battle suit inside his armor was soaked with sweat.]
[He shook his head and chuckled helplessly once again.]
["The plan can be slightly altered, and so can our external attitude."]
["At this moment, being fearless would mean missing out on many opportunities."]
["While everyone still doesn't know Naruto's abilities..."]
[Alas~]
[Hiruzen Sarutobi sighed.]
[If Asuma had been a bit more promising, he wouldn't be in such a sorry state.]
[After leaving Training Ground No. 7.]
[Whoosh——]
[A figure appeared before Hiruzen Sarutobi.]
["Tell Danzo to behave himself!"]
["I don't want to hear about Root Organization Ninja overstepping their bounds again!"]
["Yes, Hokage-sama."]
[Whoosh——]
[The Anbu Ninja came and went quickly.]
[Hiruzen Sarutobi was in a rather good mood, and happily went back on his own.]
[Bang bang bang——!!!]
[Not long after Hiruzen Sarutobi left.]
[Naruto took a deep breath.]
[His face was filled with solemnity.]
[Then he formed a single hand seal, releasing the Multiple Shadow Clone Jutsu.]
[A series of explosions rang out.]
[The Shadow Clones disappeared at an extremely fast rate.]
[Countless memories and experiences flooded into his mind.]
[The ball of Chakra in Naruto's mind began to function under his control.]
[The impact from the memories and experiences transmitted by the Shadow Clones was reduced to an almost negligible level.]
[And Naruto's main body quickly sat cross-legged on the ground, entering a meditative state.]
[Three thousand Shadow Clones at once.]
[Even if Naruto was confident, he still needed to treat it cautiously.]
[Moreover, this was the first time.]
[Although the three thousand Shadow Clones didn't exist for long, he still had to be fully prepared.]
[For no other reason.]
[Naruto had already made his plans.]
[In fact, when he first used the Multiple Shadow Clone Jutsu, he was able to control the position and number of the Shadow Clones.]
[Derived from his understanding of the Shadow Clone Jutsu, achieving this with the Multiple Shadow Clone Jutsu was naturally not as difficult as when first learning it.]
[Buzz——]
[Soon, important memories and experiences were transmitted back.]
