Naruto: Huh? Big Brother?! That White-Haired Pervert!

Konoha Hospital.

Inside the hospital room, Hagoromo lay on the bed with a helpless expression.

"Master, I've really recovered."

Hagoromo spoke again in a tone of utter despair.

"Stay put and get some rest." Hiruzen Sarutobi in a divine robe, stood by the window and said without turning his head.

"But I feel like I've almost fully recovered."

Hagoromo stood up, turned around, and said.

"You should be grateful you only suffered these injuries while fighting against the Eight Gates Formation."

Hiruzen Sarutobi turned around in annoyance; he had come over immediately after receiving the message from the Anbu.

It's important to know that Might Guy was able to be promoted to Jonin because Hiruzen Sarutobi knew the power of the Eight Gates Formation.

Moreover, if this Taijutsu weren't so demanding to train, potentially leading to death, he would have already arranged for a large number of people to practice it.

Even Kakashi only mastered the first technique before stopping.

"Um, I think Senior Kai might be in a more serious condition."

Hagoromo said somewhat uncertainly, after all, Might Guy had collapsed from exhaustion at that time.

His condition was due to his recovery ability; he just appeared to be in a worse state on the surface.

"Might Guy has already left the village on a mission."

Hiruzen Sarutobi walked over and sat down beside Hagoromo's sickbed.

"Huh?" Hagoromo was a little incredulous. Given Might Guy's level of exhaustion, he should at least need to rest.

He said that after his battle with you, he felt he needed to work harder and perform his missions better in order to strengthen himself.

Hiruzen Sarutobi shook his head and said, "And Kakashi went along this time too."

Hagoromo's lips twitched. If anyone should be being taught a lesson, it should be him.

How did it turn into Might Guy saying he needs to work hard and be this curled up?

After all, at the last moment, he could sense that Might Guy had probably held back.

Otherwise, I wouldn't be where I am now.

Although the Inch Power Eight Gates are quite powerful, I have only mastered them to Mastery extent.

It still can't compare to the Eight Gates Formation honed by Might Guy's more than ten years of unwavering training.

"By the way, you must come and tell me you want to be promoted to Jonin within a month at the latest."

Hiruzen Sarutobi said irritably, recalling how his little apprentice had recently told him that their strength was about the same.

As a result, he got a big one today.

"Yes, no problem."

Hagoromo nodded and said that she had not been without gains from this battle with Might Guy.

Conversely, he had never been assessed as Jonin by the system before, but he finally succeeded this time.

To be honest, Might Guy's words really woke me up.

Perhaps due to the past ten years or so, even with the system, he still hadn't changed his old way of life.

Although it's not apparent on the surface.

However, in the past, when Hagoromo carried out missions, she almost always acted only when she was confident of success.

It seems you've figured it out.

Seeing Hagoromo nod, Hiruzen Sarutobi burst into laughter.

Even if he's very busy, he still knows his apprentice to some extent.

However, Hiruzen Sarutobi would not make the same demands of Jiraiya and the others regarding Hagoromo.

He wanted to see if, without interference, Hagoromo could grow up and escape the fate of Jiraiya and the others.

It looks pretty good now.

"Yes, thank you very much, Senior Kai."

Hagoromo nodded and said that if it weren't for Might Guy, it would probably have taken her a while to understand.

"It's good that you've figured it out. I'll head back now."

Hiruzen Sarutobi had just stood up when he suddenly remembered something, took out a few beads from his pocket, and handed them to Hagoromo, saying:

"This is the Mirage Vapor Pearl. I originally intended to have the Anbu bring it to you."

"Thank you, Master." Hagoromo's eyes lit up as she reached out to take it.

"No need, just stay in the hospital for a few days, consider it rest," Hiruzen Sarutobi said, waving his hand.

"Take care, Master!" After watching Hiruzen Sarutobi, Hagoromo then examined the Mirage Vapor Pearl in her hand.

It looks very ordinary, but Hagoromo can sense the Sealing Jutsu technique inside.

And... this material, which compresses Chakra particles, seems quite different.

Stroking the Hagoromo on the outside of the Mirage Vapor Pearl, I was a little curious about this material that could compress Chakra particles, but after looking at it for a long time, I still couldn't figure it out.

They had no choice but to put it away.

"Teacher!"

A voice rang out, Naruto pushed the door open and came in.

Ino's voice followed closely behind. "Naruto, you can't do this, you have to knock."

"Oh, I forgot. I'll definitely do it next time!"

Hagoromo Yi looked amusedly at her disciples who rushed in and said, "Come in, all of you, and close the door behind you."

"Yes, teacher."

Hinata was walking at the very back, responded and closed the door behind her.

Where have you been? Why are you only arriving now?

Hagoromo looked at the group with curiosity and asked, after all, Naruto and the others had just come with him.

"Um, Sasuke said he wanted to find that white-haired guy and get some answers, so we went with him."

Naruto then went to Hagoromo's bedside, put down the fruit basket, and then spoke.

"The white-haired uncle?"

Hagoromo was taken aback for a moment before realizing that Naruto must have been referring to Kakashi.

Hagoromo reached out and patted Naruto's head, saying, "Naruto, according to seniority, you should call him 'older brother'."

"Huh? Nii-san?! That white-haired pervert!"

Naruto was completely shocked and exclaimed in disbelief.

Hagoromo Yi's lips twitched upon hearing this. Had Kakashi's Icha Icha Paradise been left uncovered and Naruto had seen it?

"Teacher, is it true that Kakashi said his Sharingan was a gift from his best friend?"

Sasuke then spoke up, since Kakashi had said it so directly and even suggested asking his father.

Then they left the village directly with that energetic Jonin the green jumpsuit.

"Yes, it happened during the Battle of Kannabi Bridge in the Third Shinobi World War, but you'd know more about it if you asked your father."

Hagoromo didn't say much, after all, that was a matter between Kakashi and Obito.

Furthermore, regarding Naruto, it's best not to mention him too much for the time being.

Minato Namikaze should talk to Naruto about this later.

Sasuke nodded upon hearing this; even his teacher had said so.

That's pretty much the truth, especially since the other person is Jonin. It's already rare for someone like me, a Ninja Academy student, to even tell me the reason.

"Just focus on training these next few days, finals are coming up soon."

When Hagoromo saw that his disciples were all unharmed, he knew that Yu Yi had been fighting Might Guy.

Kakashi confirmed that they had been well protected and said with relief.

"No problem, teacher!"

Having witnessed the battle with Hagoromo, Naruto became even more convinced that with diligent training, he could one day become as powerful as his teacher.

"Understood, teacher." Shikamaru nodded. Since Hagoromo wasn't there, he was the one leading Naruto and the others.

"Yeah, Shikamaru, there should be some progress on that thing I told you about in a while."

Hagoromo then said to Shikamaru that with the Mirage Vapor Pearl in hand, she now possessed the strength of Jonin.

That means the Summoning Scroll can also be activated.
