Uchiha Feng also sensed the presence of the Third Hokage.
Naruto Uzumaki's every move was under the Third Hokage's surveillance; no wonder he wanted to curb these restless elements.
Today, all of our Anbu will likely be deployed to ensure the success of this operation.
However, he is not someone who can be easily monitored.
On the training field during the day.
The tree that Uchiha Feng was sleeping on split open in the middle.
A pool of purple blood transformed into a small purple figure, bearing a resemblance to Uchiha Feng.
Uchiha Feng's will descended upon the purple figure, and an untrained sensory ability was emitted, startling some Anbu Ninja who were on guard.
Swish~
The purple figure soared into the sky, its speed several times that of the Flying Technique.
In the jungle, Naruto Uzumaki leaped between tree trunks, carrying a large scroll on his back, his face full of smugness.
Little did he know that all his actions were under the surveillance of Uchiha Feng and the Third Hokage, and that the Sage of Six Paths was also watching from the shadows.
Today is the day Naruto Uzumaki acquires one of his take-off Ninjutsu, the Multiple Shadow Clone Technique.
Naruto Uzumaki stopped in an open space, opened the Scroll of Seals, and looked expectant.
The names of several forbidden techniques appeared on the scroll.
[Darkness Technique ~ Impure World Reincarnation Jutsu ~ Storm Fang Light Release ~ Flying Thunder God Technique ~]
All of them were Ninjutsu he couldn't understand, they looked mysterious, and there were even Sealing Jutsu that sealed off a part of them.
Naruto Uzumaki's gaze finally settled on one of the Ninjutsu — Multiple Shadow Clone Technique!
Not only because this was the only Ninjutsu that wasn't sealed by the Sealing Jutsu, but also because deep within his heart, there seemed to be a voice calling to him.
After just one glance, the entire content of the Multiple Shadow Clone Technique appeared in his mind, a feeling he, a poor student, had never experienced before.
At that moment, Mizuki also came to Naruto Uzumaki's side.
His eyes were filled with greed as he stared at the scroll—the very thing he had dreamed of that could change his destiny.
"Naruto, give me the things." Mizuki was no longer hiding anything at this point, and his tone and attitude towards Naruto Uzumaki had completely changed.
This made Naruto Uzumaki feel resentful from the bottom of his heart.
"Can I graduate now?" Naruto Uzumaki asked, which was his original motivation for doing this.
"Fool, don't you understand now? You're just a tool I'm using~" Mizuki stopped hiding and started spouting nonsense.
This behavior Naruto Uzumaki.
Uchiha Feng's purple clone scanned Mizuki with his mental power in the sky and discovered that he was being influenced by something, like Genjutsu, but much more profound.
"Is it Kotoamatsukami? Or something else?" Uchiha Feng pondered, but he already knew what the Third Hokage was looking at.
This operation was also the Third Hokage's way of assessing Naruto Uzumaki. If Naruto Uzumaki did not show any of the so-called bond or attachment he was supposed to have, the Third Hokage would not hesitate to change his attitude and turn Naruto Uzumaki into his puppet.
A new puppet has joined the fray: Iruka.
Uchiha Feng in the sky, was disgusted by the cheesy plot. He didn't want the story to unfold the way the Third Hokage hoped.
"Naruto, you're the Nine-Tailed Demon Fox who killed Iruka's parents!" Mizuki was acting out the script.
Iruka's expression was conflicted. He had buried that matter deep in his heart, but when Mizuki suddenly brought it up, he couldn't help but fall into sadness, and his expression changed.
Naruto Uzumaki noticed Iruka's change and was filled with mixed emotions. Iruka held a special place in his heart; at the Ninja Academy, Iruka was the light that illuminated his path.
I was the one who killed Iruka-sensei's parents?
His heart was filled with negative emotions and tyranny. His beard began to grow wildly, and dark red Nine-Tails Chakra surged from his body, causing his body to exhibit the characteristics of a demon fox.
"Fox spirit, this is your true form now. You should thank me and leave me my things!" Mizuki said, as a huge Fuma Shuriken appeared in his hand.
Swish~
The Fuma Shuriken traced a beautiful arc in the air before piercing towards Naruto Uzumaki, who stood frozen in place.
"It's over~"
Mizuki is ready to reap the rewards of his victory.
At the critical moment, Iruka's body was propelled by a force, shielding Naruto Uzumaki and taking the hit for him.
"Run! I'll hold him off!" Iruka looked at Naruto Uzumaki with concern in his eyes.
The violent aura emanating from Naruto Uzumaki vanished, and he regained his rationality. The dissipated Nine-Tails Chakra was transformed and became Naruto Uzumaki's own Chakra.
At this moment, the Nine-Tails within Naruto Uzumaki's body was suppressed by Ashura's Chakra and had no effect on him whatsoever.
"Iruka-sensei, don't you hate me? I'm a demon fox, and..." Naruto Uzumaki asked hesitantly.
"Naruto, you will always be my most beloved student. You are not a demon fox." Iruka stroked Naruto Uzumaki's blond hair, his face full of affection.
"You two are disgusting!" Mizuki said what Uchiha Feng wanted to say, and a Fuma Shuriken reappeared in his hand.
"Teacher, this time I'll protect you." Naruto Uzumaki stood in front of Iruka, shielding him.
Naruto Uzumaki was brimming with an ignorant confidence, which made Mizuki wonder who the student who hadn't graduated really was.
"Multiple Shadow Clone Technique!"
Naruto Uzumaki Hand Seals, a Hand Seals he was unfamiliar with before, but this time he performed it with unparalleled skill.
Bang!
Bang!
A series of explosions rang out, and the surrounding trees were filled with Naruto Uzumaki's figures.
"What is this? This kid? How could he possibly do this?" Mizuki was filled with questions.
"You're not allowed to hurt Iruka-sensei!" Naruto Uzumaki's words echoed around them.
Snap

After the brawl, Mizuki had only one thought, "I want to cheat too!"
Mizuki collapsed to the ground, bruised and swollen, barely breathing.
Naruto Uzumaki admired his masterpiece.
A purple light appeared in the sky, and all the blood separated from Uchiha Feng was injected into Mizuki's body.
