"Then, Grandpa Third Hokage, I will go over first! We have made an agreement - when I catch that guy's tail, I will have to let me look at this thing for a while!"
At the door of Hokage's office, Naruto was carrying a huge, seemingly heavy scroll, and smiled and waved to Third Hokage who was sitting behind the office desk.
Hiruzen Sarutobi looked at the scene in front of him and nodded with a complicated expression.
He never expected that the play he had carefully arranged would be completely disrupted by the kid in front of him in less than ten minutes after it started!
Just now, what he saw through the crystal ball [Telescope Technique] went in exactly as planned at first. The Ninju who was guarding the secret scroll storage room took a nap "just right", while Naruto slipped in "sneakily" but extremely smoothly, and finally got the huge [Sealed Book]...
According to the plot, Naruto should find a place to hide and try to learn the above ninjutsu. Later, he was found by Mizuki who followed the trail. Finally, with the intervention of Iruka, Mizuki revealed his true face and was captured in one fell swoop.
However, the next scene that Third Hokage saw was - Naruto carried the huge scroll and did not run to the training ground or Forest of Death, but... trotted all the way to the Hokage office?!
When Naruto put the heavy scroll on the floor of Hokage's office with a bang, Third Hokage's brain almost shut down.
Immediately afterwards, before Third Hokage could figure out what Naruto was up to, Naruto made Gate of Opening a deal that stunned him.
"Grandpa Third Hokage, teacher Mizuki... Oh no, I already know the true identity of that guy Mizuki. Well, if I help you lure him out completely and let him jump out on his own and say everything that should be said and shouldn't be said... Then, you [Sealed Book], can you let me read it for a while as reward?"
"..."
Third Hokage was silent for more than ten seconds. Looking at Naruto's clear blue eyes, he could only sigh helplessly.
Okay... It seems that this kid has already seen through Mizuki's true face. Maybe he even guessed the game I set... to some extent? Minato... I am truly worthy of being your child.
As a result, a "testing and cleaning" drama directed by the third generation suddenly turned into a "transaction" in which Naruto actively participated.
Considering that I wanted Naruto to come into contact with the [Sealed Book] and see if he could learn the above techniques, especially the multiple Shadow Clone techniques and Flying Thunder God Technique, Third Hokage finally nodded and agreed to this "agreement".
Seeing Naruto leaving the office carrying the huge scroll, Third Hokage immediately calmed down the complicated expression on his face, restored Hokage's majesty, and waved his hand to the empty corner.
A Anbu wearing an animal mask knelt down on one knee in an instant and silently.
"Go and bring Iruka over immediately... When you get here, tell him about Mizuki, the sealed book, and Naruto."
In the forest outside Konoha Village, Naruto was sitting alone on the ground, with the huge "Sealed Book" scroll spread out in front of him. He pretended to point his finger at the words above, deliberately muttering to himself at a volume that was just right enough for someone lurking in the distance to hear.
"Hmm... [Multiple Shadow Clone Art]... so it requires a huge amount of chakra to support it... If the amount of chakra is insufficient and the user is forced to use it, the user's chakra will be drained instantly, and it may even cause irreparable damage or even death? If... it is a very dangerous forbidden art..."
Not far away, in the shadow of a big tree, Mizuki was crouching there, clearly hearing Naruto's "self-talk". When he heard Naruto read out the name and risks of that technique, the pretended gentleness on his face disappeared instantly, and a greedy and ferocious smile appeared uncontrollably.
But he immediately realized that he had lost his temper, quickly calmed his expression, and put on his usual gentle mask again.
He jumped off the branch and then walked out of the shadow not far behind Naruto, "Hey, Naruto, it seems that you have got the power! What do you think? All the ninjutsu recorded above are very powerful, right?"
Naruto turned his head sharply, and quickly put on a suitably surprised and excited expression on his face, "Eh?! Shui, Teacher Mizuki? How could you be here... ah, that's right!"
He nodded vigorously, "The ninjutsu here is so powerful! I didn't expect you, sensei, to know such a secret. It's so powerful!"
Mizuki kept a "gentle" smile on his face, but his heart was filled with contempt and pride.
Guo is a little brat, so easy to deceive. He took a few steps forward with great self-control, stretched out his hand towards Naruto, and his tone was full of "Guan".
"Since you're like this, Teacher is relieved to see you are so motivated. However, Naruto, some of the ninjutsu above are still a bit too early for you."
It can be very dangerous if you don't pay attention to the cultivation method. Come on, give the scroll to the teacher first, and ask the teacher to help you point out what needs special attention, so that you don't accidentally hurt yourself. "
... This guy's acting skills are such that it would be a waste of his talent not to be an actor on stage, but to be a forbearer would be a waste of this "talent".
Naruto complained crazily in his heart, but a smile of great gratitude and trust appeared on his face, "Really? Too silly! Thank you Teacher Mizuki!"
As he spoke, he re-rolled the huge scroll with quick movements, and then handed it to Mizuki's eagerly stretched out hand without hesitation.
Finally... finally succeeded!!
Mizuki tightly grasped the heavy and huge scroll in his hand, his fingertips trembled slightly with excitement, and the cry of ecstasy in his heart almost broke through his chest!
The plan worked! He no longer pretends to be an amiable teacher and plays disgusting teacher-student house games with the kid in front of him who he regards as a "monster"!
"Hehehehe...hahahahaha!!!"
The long-standing hypocrisy and malice could no longer be suppressed. Mizuki suddenly raised his head and let out a distorted and joyful laugh. The carefully maintained gentle mask on his face completely shattered, leaving only naked greed and contempt, "What a complete idiot!!"
He couldn't wait to drag [Scroll of Seals] behind him. He immediately put force on his feet and quickly jumped back several meters to put some distance between him and Naruto. The other hand quickly took out the giant Shuriken from behind, with the sharp tip pointed directly at Naruto.
"Thank you so much! Demon Fox!"
Mizuki's voice was full of sarcasm and pride, "Obviously, hand this 'big gift' to me!"
Naruto stood there, his face showing just the right amount of confusion and disbelief, and asked softly. "Huh? Mizuki teacher... why do you say that? Could it be... have you been lying to me?"
"Shut up!"
Mizuki interrupted him sharply, "You are the only Nine-Tails Fox Demon who killed Iruka's father and destroyed the village! These teacher-student games I played with you are simply disgusting! How could I possibly bother to help you? You are just my pawn to get the scroll!"
He stared hard into Naruto's eyes, trying to find the collapse and despair in them, and viciously added the final blow. "Listen! In this village, no one will recognize you! Even that guy Iruka definitely hates you in his heart!"
After saying these words, Mizuki looked forward to seeing Naruto break down and cry bitterly, so that he could throw Shuriken and kill Naruto.
However...
The expected collapse did not occur. Naruto not only did not show any pain, but seemed to have heard something interesting, with a thoughtful expression on his face that said "I see" and "Sure enough".
"I see... the classic 'villain dies from talking too much' segment? But..."
A relaxed smile appeared on Naruto's lips, "It seems like my mission has been completed, right?"
This completely unexpected reaction stunned Mizuki, and an inexplicable uneasiness seized him instantly.
"Asshole! What are you talking to yourself about there?! What's so funny! "He asked loudly with a stern look.
Naruto then focused his attention on Mizuki, "Ah, this, teacher Mizuki. I suggest you... the best thing to do now is to open the 'Scroll of Seals' in your hand and confirm the contents in person?"
"Varied...?!"
Mizuki's forehead instantly broke out in cold sweat.
But Naruto's overly calm attitude frightened him. He suddenly brought the heavy scroll behind him to his face, hurriedly untied the tether, and unfolded it with a clatter——
However, what came into view was not a scroll recording countless forbidden spells at all...
Inside the huge, blank scroll, there were only huge, densely packed fonts, filled with two extremely dazzling words that filled the entire scroll -
[Idiot]
