Madara Uchiha Calls You the Strongest!

[Tobirama Senju: He's quite the playboy for someone so young!]

[Izuna Uchiha: Yeah, seriously, kids these days are so precocious!]

[Hashirama Senju: But the Group Leader really is quite handsome! If a young lady is interested in him, that's normal, right? After all, the Group Leader's looks are only slightly less impressive than mine!]

[Mito Uzumaki: I'm just saying, Hashirama, can you have some shame?]

[Hashirama Senju: Mito, am I not handsome?]

[Mito Uzumaki: Handsome, handsome, you're the most handsome!]

[Hashirama Senju: Hehe! I knew I was the most handsome!]

[Madara Uchiha: Hashirama, when it comes to shamelessness, I, Madara, declare you the strongest!]

Makoto Ito raised an eyebrow as he read Madara Uchiha's message. Shouldn't Might Guy have been the first to hear that line? Now it's Hashirama Senju! That's quite interesting...

[Tobirama Senju: But seriously, Group Leader, you work fast! You're already preparing to find a wife at such a young age!]

[Makoto Ito: It's clearly Uncle Hizashi sticking his nose where it doesn't belong! We clearly have mutual affection! We're a match made in heaven! Why try to break us up? How could I agree to that?

Besides, when it comes to finding a wife! I've always believed in "first come, first served," don't you get it?]

[Madara Uchiha: Good heavens, when it comes to finding a wife, I, Madara Uchiha, declare you the strongest!!!]

[Makoto Ito: Thanks for the compliment!]

[Madara Uchiha: Good heavens! So shameless! I bet even without this Chat Group, you'd still achieve great things in the future!]

[Madara Uchiha: Actually, it's no wonder she's angry! After all, you're trying to snag her niece! How could she not be angry?]

[Makoto Ito: Um, what if... I was actually the one being pursued?]

[Madara Uchiha: This...]

[Tobirama Senju: This...]

[Izuna Uchiha: This...]

[Hashirama Senju: The Group Leader is so handsome, so it's normal for him to be pursued, right? Just like me, I'm so handsome, I was once pursued by Mito!]

[Tobirama Senju: ???? Big Brother, can you please have some shame?]

[Madara Uchiha: Hashirama is as shameless as ever!]

[Izuna Uchiha: Indeed, shameless!]

[Mito Uzumaki: You shut up! You idiot!]

Makoto Ito ignored the idiotic Hashirama Senju and continued speaking!

[Makoto Ito: Besides, dating in the Ninja Academy is a Konoha tradition! You know, a long, long time ago, there was a legendary ninja named Minato Namikaze, and he dated in the Ninja Academy and successfully became Konoha's Fourth Hokage!]

[Tobirama Senju: So you're saying he became the Fourth Hokage because he dated early in school?]

[Makoto Ito: I think so...]

[Hashirama Senju: Perhaps there really is some connection...]

[Tobirama Senju: Enough, Big Brother, stop talking! Please stop showing off your bizarre intelligence, okay?!]

Though they had somehow drifted into talking about Minato Namikaze and his wife, Minato and Kushina paid them no mind. This was because they had seen the figure they longed for through the shared vision—Naruto Uzumaki!

Naruto, sitting in the classroom, couldn't stay still for a moment. He looked left, then right, chatted with Shikamaru Nara for a bit, then messed around with Kiba!

And every now and then, he'd make exaggerated gestures and strange noises, trying to attract attention!

[Minato Namikaze: This... Is this Naruto? Has Naruto grown so much after all these years? And that golden hair is exactly like mine!]

[Kushina Uzumaki: Yes, Minato! Naruto has grown so much! The most important thing is, look, he seems so happy! And he has good friends around him! That pineapple-headed one looks like a Nara kid! And the one on the other side looks like an Inuzuka?]

[Minato Namikaze: Yes, it looks like Lord Third has taken very good care of Naruto!]

Makoto Ito couldn't help but twitch his lips at their conversation...

Do you even hear yourselves?

Very happy? Lots of good friends? Lord Third took good care of him? Which of those things you said has anything to do with Naruto?

None of them seem to have anything to do with Naruto, do they?

But it had to be said, at this moment, Naruto did seem genuinely happy...

It was no wonder the two misunderstood!

After all, Minato and Kushina didn't know that, perhaps in the entire Konoha Village, Naruto only had these few friends: Shikamaru, Kiba, Choji, and himself...

Because his original self was also a dead last, and shared a common experience with Naruto Uzumaki—both were orphans! So his original self never disliked Naruto Uzumaki and even often played together with him...

[Madara Uchiha: This kid... If I'm not mistaken, that's the Nine-Tails' chakra, isn't it?]

[Hashirama Senju: Exactly, I sensed it too! It's definitely the Nine-Tails' chakra! So he's this generation's Nine-Tails Jinchuriki?]

[Tobirama Senju: I have to say, Fourth Hokage, you're quite ruthless! To make your own son a Tailed Beast Jinchuriki?]

[Minato Namikaze: Naruto, as the son of the Hokage, this is a responsibility he inherently bears! It's just that my wife and I... sigh...]

Seeing what Minato Namikaze said, Makoto Ito silently thought to himself… What a complete idiot!

Minato Namikaze could absolutely be described as an excellent Hokage! He even dedicated his own life to this village!

But was Konoha truly worthy of his sacrifice?

Makoto Ito found it truly hard to imagine what would happen if Minato Namikaze were to learn the truth about everything later, if he were to find out what kind of life Naruto Uzumaki had lived all these years. Would Minato Namikaze turn dark then?

After all, the more love there was before, the more hatred there would be after turning dark, right?

However, at this very moment, Minato Namikaze and Kushina Uzumaki were completely absorbed in the joy of seeing Naruto Uzumaki.

Meanwhile, in a corner of the classroom, a boy in blue clothes, with a fan clan emblem on his back, sat quietly. His hands propped up his chin, and his expression was somber.

Mikoto Uchiha: Sasuke! It's Sasuke! Fugaku, do you see him? That's our son, Sasuke!

Fugaku Uchiha: Mm… I see him!
