The Strength of Kotoamatsukuchi-Mouth

[Ding, congratulations to the host for completing the tutorial mission, reward: All-Attribute Chakra Lv1.]

[Ding, continuing with the tutorial mission: Buy time for Naruto to learn the Multi-Shadow Clone Technique and rapidly boost his self-confidence, reward: Rasengan Lv1.]

Haha, the ball-twirling technique is finally here?

Lin Fan was slightly stunned, then smiled and said, "Naruto, stop complaining and let's get out of here quickly."

"I will try my best to buy you some time, so hurry up and find a hidden place to hide so you can learn the ninjutsu inside the Scroll of Sealing."

Afterward, he pressed his palms together and shouted, "Transformation!"

A puff of white smoke drifted by.

Lin Fan had transformed into Naruto, carrying the Scroll of Sealing on his back.

"Big Brother Lin Fan, thank you."

Looking at Lin Fan, Naruto's eyes welled up with tears before he even realized it.

The two of them then quickly left the Hokage's office together.

Standing on the roof, the Third Hokage was stunned to see two Narutos appear.

He couldn't even distinguish which Naruto was the real one in such a short time.

"It seems this Lin Fan is truly a rare ninjutsu genius. How much ninjutsu you two can learn from this Scroll of Sealing will depend on your own fortune."

The Third Hokage figured that once the village ninjas received the news, they would surely hunt the two of them down relentlessly.

There wasn't much time left for them.

At best, they would only have enough time to learn the most basic Multi-Shadow Clone Technique from the scroll.

If the Third Hokage knew that Lin Fan possessed a divine artifact like the Polaroid Camera, which allowed him to copy the Scroll of Sealing and study it at his leisure, he would probably regret it so much he'd cough up half a liter of blood.

After muttering to himself, the Third Hokage vanished from the rooftop.

Everything proceeded just as it had in the original story.

Mizuki explained to Iruka that Naruto had stolen the Scroll of Sealing.

Many ninjas in Konoha began their search for Naruto.

The Naruto that Lin Fan had transformed into attracted the majority of the Konoha ninjas' pursuit within the forest.

However, given Lin Fan's current strength, he simply created ten Naruto clones to easily lead the ninjas on a wild goose chase through the woods.

After estimating the time, Lin Fan figured that Naruto had likely already mastered the Multi-Shadow Clone Technique.

He immediately dispelled his Transformation Technique and Clone Technique, then dashed toward the small cabin at the edge of the forest where Naruto was learning the ninjutsu.

When Lin Fan arrived at the cabin, he saw that Iruka had already found Naruto.

Naruto had already revealed that he had learned the Multi-Shadow Clone Technique.

Iruka had also learned that all of this was Mizuki's conspiracy.

Swish, swish!

At that moment, five kunai shot toward the two of them like lightning.

"Iruka, Naruto, get out of there! Mizuki is behind you!"

Lin Fan appeared immediately and shouted.

Upon hearing Lin Fan's voice, Naruto pushed Iruka aside.

The five kunai were flying toward Naruto's chest at incredible speed.

Naruto, however, was completely frozen in shock.

"Heh heh, die, Naruto! Now the Scroll of Sealing will be mine!"

Seeing the kunai about to pierce Naruto's chest, Mizuki let out a sinister, cold laugh.

Swish!!!

At that critical moment, Lin Fan used Taijutsu Body Flicker to scoop up the stunned Naruto and teleported a few steps to the side, quickly dodging the kunai attack.

Thud, thud, thud!

The five kunai embedded themselves deeply into the cabin's door panel.

"B-Big Brother Lin Fan, thank you for saving me."

Naruto, currently nestled in Lin Fan's arms, looked somewhat embarrassed.

"Enough, as long as you're okay."

Lin Fan suddenly felt a bit of regret, even a sense of nausea.

That had been a completely subconscious reaction.

He just hoped that Hinata would never find out about this.

"Meddlesome brat, I heard your parents sacrificed themselves during the Nine-Tails Rebellion twelve years ago."

But do you know who the person you saved in your arms is? He is that Nine-Tailed Fox that once killed your parents!

Mizuki was currently doing his best to sow discord between the two.

What? I am that Nine-Tailed Fox?

Naruto was suddenly stunned upon hearing Mizuki's words.

He suddenly understood a few things.

No wonder the villagers had always isolated him.

No wonder he had no parents.

No wonder his appearance was so peculiar.

So he was the culprit who almost destroyed the village twelve years ago.

Naruto's eyes dimmed in an instant.

Naruto, look into my eyes. You are you, and the Nine-Tailed Fox is the Nine-Tailed Fox; it is merely sealed within your body.

You two are completely different individuals. Do not lose your confidence as a ninja just because of his provocation, understand?

Lin Fan immediately unleashed the strongest ninjutsu in the Naruto World upon Naruto: Talk-no-Jutsu.

But Brother Lin Fan, your parents sacrificed themselves twelve years ago. Don't you hate me, the one who has the Nine-Tailed Fox sealed inside?

Naruto said dejectedly.

What does this have to do with you? You must have been just a newborn infant back then; what right to choose did you have?

Lin Fan revealed a warm smile toward Naruto, making his stance clear.

At this moment, the Third Hokage, watching from before the crystal ball, couldn't help but be slightly stunned.

He had not expected that Lin Fan was not only exceptionally talented but also so reasonable.

It seemed his previous suspicions were overthinking.

After hearing Lin Fan's words, Naruto's expression finally eased up quite a bit.

Iruka also felt relieved after seeing Naruto calm down.

Meanwhile, Mizuki looked at the Lin Fan before him and suddenly felt a bit flustered.

He hadn't expected this brat to not only be able to dodge the kunai he had thrown with all his might.

But this strength, comparable to Kotoamatsukuchi-Mouth, was equally formidable.

Naruto, who had been incredibly dejected, was brought back to normal by his simple few words.

However, he had been planning for a long time to obtain the Scroll of Sealing.

It was impossible to give up so easily just because of a Talk-no-Jutsu.

Thus, he feigned composure, pulled out another kunai, and pointed it at Lin Fan, "You, a dead-last who just became a genin, want to clash with me, a chunin? Watch me skewer you!!!"

This sentence did not have much of an impact on Lin Fan.

But Naruto, who was already harboring anger, instantly flew into a rage.

"What's wrong with being a dead-last? Did I eat your rice or drink your cold water? Why does everyone want to bully an honest dead-last like me???"

Lin Fan knew that Mizuki was about to be in big trouble.

He saw Naruto cross his index and middle fingers of both hands, shouting loudly.

Multi-Shadow Clone Technique.

Mizuki saw sky-blue chakra gushing out from Naruto's body like a floodgate opening.

Following that, thousands of Naruto figures appeared in the forest.

"Th-this is impossible! You dead-last actually learned the forbidden jutsu from the Scroll of Sealing?"

Mizuki's face changed drastically, his legs went weak, and he collapsed directly onto the ground.

"Still talking? Why don't you villains ever learn your lesson?"

Lin Fan shook his head at this moment, laughing and scolding Mizuki.

Very quickly.

Hundreds and thousands of clone Narutos swung their fists and smashed toward Mizuki.

In the end, Mizuki collapsed onto the ground, rolling his eyes with a bruised and swollen face.
