The Fourth Hokage Has Been Revived?

Sharingan!

Naruto's gaze flickered downward.

Although Sasuke's genjutsu abilities might be limited at this moment.

It was still genjutsu, after all!

And Naruto hadn't reached an understanding with the Nine-Tails yet.

So his immunity to genjutsu wasn't very high.

If he messed up against the Sharingan's genjutsu, he might be laughed at like an idiot by all the previous Transmigrators.

"Hmph... Are you, as powerful as you are, so wary of the Uchiha's power?"

Sasuke Uchiha first taunted him, trying to disrupt Naruto's mindset.

But he failed.

Afterward, Sasuke began to feel a sense of dread.

The Uchiha's Sharingan genjutsu was renowned throughout the Ninja World.

Yet, few knew how to evade it.

Naruto, as a ninja academy student, actually knew not to make eye contact with the Sharingan.

Could it be...?

Did that guy Naruto specifically study the Sharingan just so he wouldn't lose to him?

Even so, Sasuke was very confident.

For the past few months.

He had been following Naruto's training methods every day...

Wait?

As Sasuke was thinking about this, he saw Naruto, who was right in front of him, suddenly disappear.

What's going on?

Sasuke's eyes widened slowly, and just as he was about to look around, he felt a chill on his neck.

The next second, Naruto's voice came from behind him.

"You lost."

Sasuke turned around in shock: "When?!"

Naruto shook his head slightly: "The one you were looking for was just my clone."

During this time when the System wasn't issuing missions, Naruto hadn't been idle.

He had learned techniques like the Clone Technique and Substitution Technique.

Naruto first used a clone to distract Sasuke.

Then he circled around the crowd, moving to Sasuke's blind spot.

After that, he openly appeared behind him.

"You... this?" Sasuke's face turned beet red.

He couldn't accept failing in this manner.

Naruto said to Sasuke: "Ninjas are never about being righteous. All that matters is achieving victory."

After gaining practical combat experience from that civilian character last time.

Naruto's understanding of ninjas had reached another level.

Naruto put away his kunai and walked away with a flourish.

That evening.

Naruto specifically cooked himself two dishes.

"Even though I didn't do anything all day, I still worked hard for myself."

Naruto picked up his chopsticks, about to enjoy his meal, when a system prompt echoed in his mind.

[Ding~ System Mission Issued: Rescue Hinata Hyuga, who has been kidnapped, within 12 hours. Reward: +1 Simulation Opportunity]

"Clatter!"

Naruto dropped his chopsticks onto the table, his expression slightly stiff.

"What the hell, what's going on?"

"Hinata's been kidnapped?"

"Was this part of the original story?"

But since it was a mission issued by the System.

Naruto was quite certain this was real.

He had already changed into his pajamas.

At this moment, upon receiving a mission from the System, he walked out of his house wearing only slippers and leaped onto the rooftop in a few bounds.

Naruto's house was located in a decent spot.

Konoha's buildings surrounded it.

Naruto stood on the rooftop.

In the pitch-black night, only scattered lights from the street could be seen, making it impossible to discern anything clearly.

This left Naruto in a difficult situation.

He didn't have any sensory Ninjutsu, and learning one on the spot wasn't realistic.

Naruto now had three options before him.

1: Guess the kidnappers' escape route himself and go rescue her.

But there was a chance of failure.

Naruto didn't want to take risks, and he certainly didn't want to risk Hinata's safety.

2: Notify the village and have the Anbu launch a rescue.

This was feasible.

After all, there was strength in numbers.

3: Seek help from the Nine-Tails. The Nine-Tails' sensory abilities were very strong; it should be able to pinpoint the exact location.

This was also the most efficient and risk-free option.

Naruto wanted to execute the second and third options.

But he couldn't use Shadow Clones yet.

And regular clones couldn't be maintained for very long.

Unable to clone himself effectively, Naruto had to abandon the second option.

He sat down cross-legged on the rooftop, closing his eyes.

The next moment.

Naruto's spiritual energy appeared within the Sealing Space.

Seeing Naruto actively seeking him out, the Nine-Tails felt a hidden excitement.

But it feigned indifference, resting its head on its front paws and closing its eyes to conserve energy.

Naruto appeared somewhat anxious.

He spoke directly to the Nine-Tails, "Kurama, someone very important to me has been kidnapped."

"I hope for your help. You just need to locate her position."

"She's a child of the Hyuga Clan."

These words were simple and to the point, wasting no time.

Kurama opened one eye and asked Naruto, "Why should I help you?"

"Because I will grant you your freedom afterward," Naruto's expression was serious, with no hint of joking.

Before Kurama could speak, Naruto continued, "Kurama, this matter is truly important. Please believe that I have the ability to grant you freedom, and please don't waste time."

Kurama sensed Naruto's urgency and a smile curved its lips.

It said to Naruto, "If you want me to sense the outside world, and the distance isn't short, you'll have to peel back some of the seal."

Naruto walked forward and looked at the center of the iron gate.

There.

Was a sealing paper.

It wasn't the main seal itself, but a talisman used to strengthen the seal.

This was left by the Fourth Hokage back then.

Naruto didn't hesitate; he walked forward and tore it off.

The next second, the Fourth Hokage's Chakra was activated, appearing within the Sealing Space.

"Heh heh~"

Kurama chuckled, "It seems that little girl is indeed very important to you."

Minato Namikaze, upon appearing, had already analyzed the general situation.

Minato Namikaze said to Naruto, "Naruto, did you break the seal to save a comrade? Perhaps I can help as well."

This was the first time Naruto had met Minato Namikaze, the father of his current body.

He didn't refuse Minato's kind offer.

For some time, Kurama sat cross-legged on the ground, paws pressed together, and said to Naruto, "Naruto, the little one you want to save is in the Forest of Death, which is quite far from Konoha."

Before Naruto could reply, Minato Namikaze spoke up, "I know the Forest of Death. Naruto, come with me."

The next second, Minato and Naruto's spiritual energy vanished from the Sealing Space.

In reality.

A golden light flashed from Naruto's abdomen.

This golden light was Minato's Chakra.

The Chakra condensed in the real world, gradually forming Minato's appearance.

Seeing the now prosperous Konoha, Minato sighed slightly, "It's really good... In the blink of an eye, Naruto has grown up."

When Naruto woke up, Minato bent down and took Naruto's small hand.

The two transformed into a golden light and disappeared from the rooftop.

In a nearby tree.

An Anbu member monitoring Naruto stared in stunned silence.

"Holy crap?"

"The Fourth Hokage is resurrected?"

"Holy crap???"

This Anbu member was professionally trained.

They were supposed to remain calm no matter how absurd the situation.

Unless they couldn't help it.
