How Could You Enter It Instantly Too?!
"Hehe, I'll show you how powerful my Senjutsu is!"
Naruto Uzumaki said excitedly.
Kanami took a look.
So, this guy only grew taller but not... smarter.
Just like Naruto and Jiraiya spent three years training outside to solidify their foundations, he still came back looking like a goofball.
Nothing has changed.
Naruto's biggest change occurred after the battle during Pain's invasion of Konoha.
"Hey, what's up? Why aren't you saying anything?"
The celebrity squinted his eyes and looked up at Kanami.
"Okay, what are the rules?"
Kanami smiled.
He had always liked Naruto.
In the Original Plot, I didn't understand some of Naruto's actions, but that was much later in the story. There's still time, there's still hope!
At the end of the Fourth Great Ninja War, when Black Zetsu was mocking Obito from Kaguya's sleeve, Naruto retorted, "You're not allowed to mock Obito!"
He added later, "Obito, who aimed to become Hokage, is the coolest in my heart!"
At that time, not only did Minato Namikaze wife want to ask questions, but even Kanami wanted to ask questions.
The later Kishimoto the old thief was a complete mess.
The author, Kishimoto, is like this: the characters he creates only need to immerse themselves in the lines he designs and act according to orders, while the author, Kishimoto, has to consider many things.
Therefore, Kanami still believes that Naruto can still be saved. At least he doesn't know who his parents are or who killed them, so his reactions can still be guided.
In this Hokage world influenced by him, Naruto Uzumaki can't still be that Down syndrome kid who said, "You killed my parents, but I have to forgive you," can he?
"What rules? There are no rules. Come with me, we're going to a nice place!"
Naruto chuckled and pulled Kanami away.
Tsunade breathed a sigh of relief when she saw Naruto leave, and quickly returned to her office to deal with the backlog of Hokage affairs.
Soon, Shizune arrived at the Tonton 'Hokage's Office with Ton-Ton in her arms to help with the tasks.
On the other side, Kanami, who was being led by Naruto and had no idea where they were going, asked, "Naruto, where are we going?"
"Hehe, you'll see in a minute!"
Naruto chuckled, offering no direct answer.
Kanami was quite helpless.
He just wanted to know the exact location, so he could simply use the Flying Thunder God Technique to get there.
There's absolutely no need to waste time on the road.
But not long after they left, he suddenly realized that he seemed to have become a little different.
When did I become someone who doesn't even want to walk for a few minutes?
Isn't the scenery along the way sometimes better than the destination?
He hadn't walked through the village in a long time.
Running around the village with Naruto now isn't so bad.
Soon, Naruto brought Kanami to the abandoned dueling arena behind the Ninja Academy.
Of course, it wasn't the place where he fought Sasuke before. That place was inside the Ninja Academy, and even if he wanted to, he couldn't get in now.
In fact, the two only took a few minutes to travel.
"Hehe, does it bring back any nostalgic feelings?"
Naruto Uzumaki looked at the abandoned targets around him and the Kunai on the trees, put his index finger under his nose and laughed.
Kanami shook his head. "No."
"Ah! How could there not be? We used to train here!"
Naruto said, pulling Kanami to the side of a small river. "Look here, this is where we used to train our balance!"
As he spoke, his eyes lit up as he looked at the wooden stake not far away in the river. He quickly pointed and exclaimed, "Look, that stake is still there! I fell off it back then, and everyone laughed at me!"
Kanami suddenly remembered that Naruto had deliberately fallen to attract the attention of his classmates.
However, he saw the story while watching Hokage, not after he traveled to this world and witnessed it firsthand.
Because he usually sleeps in class, unlike Naruto who deliberately acts strangely to attract attention, he just slacks off and is too lazy to pay attention to them, which is why he and Naruto Uzumaki ended up being the last and second to last in the class.
Do you remember now?
Naruto asked, his eyes shining.
He still fondly remembers the attention he received for his antics back then, and doesn't feel embarrassed at all.
Kanami glanced at him. "I remember now, I was sleeping in the classroom at the time, and I didn't see you fall into the water."
"Huh?!" Naruto scratched his head. "I forgot, back then all you did was sleep..."
"But why did you sleep in the Ninja Academy for so many years, and then suddenly your strength improved by leaps and bounds after graduation?"
He pursed his lips, clearly puzzled.
He was clearly at the bottom of the class too, so why didn't he soar to great heights?
Kanami: "..."
"All of this is entirely due to my own perseverance and hard work."
Kanami said this without batting an eye.
He really put in a lot of effort and perseverance, because he didn't have any special skills like Deep Blue.
In other words, starting with Chakra Tons and having memorized almost all the Ninjutsu in the array techniques is at best comparable to starting with the Third Hokage Hiruzen Sarutobi.
A small opening doesn't count as opening!
He didn't have the system benefits that other transmigrators enjoyed.
"Why can't I believe it?"
Naruto squinted and glanced at it.
He quickly regained his smile.
"Come on, Kanami, let's get ready to begin!"
"Let me show you what I've become after my training! Naruto Uzumaki!"
"Okay, come on."
Kanami arrived at the open space of the Training Ground, where Kanami.
Naruto Uzumaki was already in position.
"..."
The two remained locked in this stalemate for a long time before Naruto Uzumaki finally couldn't help but speak up, "Hey, why aren't you activating Sage Mode yet?"
"Huh?" Kanami asked, puzzled.
"Didn't you activate it either?"
"Hmph, once I activate Sage Mode, you won't have a chance to. Let me tell you a secret, I can enter Sage Mode in an instant! Even more powerful than the Jiraiya!"
Naruto proudly raised his head.
No, it's just entering Sage Mode in a second. Kanami can enter it with just his hands together. In his opinion, there's nothing to compare.
Kanami's lips curled slightly into a smile, "Are you sure you want me to activate Sage Mode first?"
"Of course, I'm going to test my Sage Mode against you. I can't just attack you before you activate it, can I?"
"Okay, I'll start then."
Kanami gently clasped his hands together.
"Sage Mode activated!"
In an instant, a crimson circular pattern appeared on his forehead.
"Ah??"
"Ah!!!"
"How come you also got in instantly?!"
Naruto Uzumaki stared wide-eyed at Kanami in disbelief.
