This Multiple Shadow Clone Technique not only shocked Hatake Kakashi and those present.
This surprised the Third Hokage, who was secretly observing. During the exam, he couldn't even create a single effective clone, but now he suddenly had hundreds of clones.
What exactly happened to Naruto Uzumaki?
He tried hard to recall yesterday's memories, but they seemed somewhat blurry, which left him unable to let go of them for a long time.
"This~"
Uchiha Sasuke and Sakura Haruno stared wide-eyed at the strange scene before them. At this moment, Hatake Kakashi was surrounded by Naruto Uzumaki!
Hatake Kakashi's reputation as a genius still circulates in the village. Uchiha Sasuke was his student, and Sakura Haruno was the top student in the theory class at the Ninja Academy. Both of them had a full understanding of Hatake Kakashi's strength.
However, judging from the current situation, Kakashi is at a significant disadvantage.
"What?" Kakashi stared in disbelief at the scene before him.
"Kakashi-sensei, my father was the Fourth Hokage, right?" Hokage, the Naruto, took advantage of the opportunity to ask Kakashi.
"You know? Is this a backup plan left for you by your teacher?" Kakashi looked somewhat enlightened. If it was a backup plan left by the Fourth Hokage, Naruto Uzumaki's transformation was still acceptable.
"It really is! But let's finish the test first!" Naruto Uzumaki's expression was incredibly complicated; his father really was the Fourth Hokage.
His memories are equally chaotic now; he can no longer distinguish between what happened yesterday and what is real. The only thing that gives him some confidence is the Nine-Tails.
The Nine-Tails' attitude towards him gave him a slight sense of security.
What he wanted to know was: why were the people in this village treating him like this? He was clearly a hero!
His own father or the Fourth Hokage?
Naruto Uzumaki was filled with rage, and an energy ball in his hand created a powerful pressure.
"Rasengan? No! It's Tailed Beast Ball!"
Hatake Kakashi's gaze was fixed on the energy ball in Naruto Uzumaki's hand. At first, he thought it was Rasengan, but after careful observation, it was clearly Tailed Beast Tailed Beast Ball.
Before Hatake Kakashi could think further, several of Naruto Uzumaki's clones had already arrived in front of him, Hatake Kakashi.
Boom~
A Tailed Beast Ball was dodged by Hatake Kakashi, but the spot where he was standing was smashed into a large crater by the Tailed Beast Ball.
Sweat beaded on Kakashi Hatake's Hatake. He hadn't experienced this level of sparring in a long time. Even when sparring with Kai, it was always in a certain aspect, and there was no danger involved.
"Naruto, this technique is too dangerous. It's not suitable for you." Hatake Kakashi's expression was somewhat serious; he couldn't see through Naruto Uzumaki.
"But I think it's just right!" Naruto Uzumaki's eyes already had the pupils of a fox, but because Nine-Tails was wholeheartedly assisting Naruto, it not only did not damage Naruto's body, but was also gradually transforming Naruto's body.
The Nine-Tails' energy, combined with the original bloodline of the Uzumaki Clan, caused the energy within his body to grow rapidly.
"You..." Hatake Kakashi wanted to say something, but he was already surrounded by Naruto's clones, giving him no chance.
"Teacher, just focus on fulfilling your duties! There are some things you didn't do at the beginning, so don't get involved in them later." Naruto Uzumaki, surrounded by his clones, said to Hatake Kakashi.
Bang!
A Tailed Beast Ball landed on Hatake Kakashi, turning into a cloud of smoke. The one who had been fighting them was actually a clone of Hatake Kakashi.
Step~
Hatake Kakashi not far away, his eyes filled with shock, guilt, and a complex mix of emotions as he looked at Naruto.
"Naruto, you found out?" Hatake Kakashi asked.
"I already know that I am the son of the Fourth Hokage!" Naruto Uzumaki nodded.
"You..."
Hatake Kakashi could say anything more, a group of Anbu appeared around them.
"Naruto Uzumaki, the Lord Hokage summons you!" said a masked Anbu Captain.
"Okay." Naruto Uzumaki nodded, a smile playing on his lips.
"I'll go with you." Hatake Kakashi glanced at the Anbu; this was his last act of defiance.
The Anbu ninja nodded, did not stop him, and ran away, with Naruto Uzumaki and Hatake Kakashi following behind him.
Only Uchiha Sasuke and Sakura Haruno remained in the training ground for the test.
"So, did we pass the test or not?" Sakura Haruno, who had just been rescued by Uchiha Sasuke, asked.
"Idiot, does any of this matter now? The class assignments were already decided long ago. Although I don't know why you were assigned to our class, you should at least have some self-awareness."
Despite her dull and simple-minded nature, Sakura Haruno failed to gain Uchiha Sasuke's approval.
Uchiha Sasuke left and headed to the training ground where Might Guy's class was located.
The Hokage's office was filled with smoke.
According to the Third Hokage's usual style, he would normally control the amount of smoking he does, but now his mind is filled with doubts, and he is also pondering the path ahead.
Knock knock~
"Wind Release: Void Extraction!" The Third Hokage used Wind Release Ninjutsu to extract all the smoke from the room.
"Please come in!"
Sitting in his seat, he put himself into the role of a friendly old man next door, still wanting to use emotions to control Naruto Uzumaki.
Naruto Uzumaki and Kakashi walked in, Anbu ninjas tactfully left, waiting outside the office.
"Naruto? What happened to you? You can tell me anything. I'm the Hokage of this village, and I would never harm you." The Third Hokage had a warm smile on his face.
Naruto Uzumaki habitually began, "Third Hokage, I..."
Hearing this familiar title, the Third Hokage felt a sense of relief. Naruto Uzumaki was still under his control; this was the result of his efforts over the past decade.
"He harbors ill intentions towards you." The Nine-Tails' voice echoed in Naruto Uzumaki's mind, Naruto Uzumaki abandoned his idea of telling the Third Hokage what had happened yesterday.
He changed the subject, "I met my father, the Fourth Hokage. He taught me some things, and now I get along quite well with Nine-Tails."
Combining Nine-Tails's explanation, Nine-Tails has now become the perfect Nine-Tails. The half-cooled Nine-Tails is Chakra body extracted from the seal by the Sage of Six Paths. Therefore, the Fourth Hokage's arrangement at the seal is now useless.
"Teacher?" Hatake Kakashi was slightly taken aback; his guess had indeed come true.
"It's Sealing Jutsu, isn't it! Minato Namikaze? You don't hate the village, do you?" The Third Hokage stared directly at Naruto, trying to read something from Naruto face.
"I don't know~" Naruto very frankly, though his face showed a conflicted expression.
He clearly hated this village, but as he walked along the way, that hatred disappeared, replaced by all the beauty he saw in the village. Now, his heart was filled with this conflicted emotion.
"However, there are people I care about in this village, and I will protect it well." Naruto Uzumaki's face was full of a sunny smile at the end, making it impossible not to believe him.
The Third Hokage, who had been looking serious, put down the crystal ball that hadn't changed color. The crystal ball would change color if Naruto lied.
"Naruto, these things were left to you by your father. Now that you've graduated from the Ninja Academy, these are for you."
As he spoke, he took out a wooden box from under his desk.
Naruto Uzumaki took it, opened it, and found some land deeds and silver notes.
A scene flashed through Naruto Uzumaki's mind: the Third Hokage's cold expression as he was thrown to the ground yesterday, and the warm-hearted man he was now. Which one was the real one?
The moment a thought of revenge arises in one's mind, it is instantly evaporated by a single breath.
"Thank you, Third Hokage." Naruto Uzumaki controlled his expression and thanked the Third Hokage in the same way they had interacted before.
All these changes came to the attention of the Third Hokage.
"From now on, you will first study under Hatake Kakashi. After a while, I will have your father's teacher teach you." The Third Hokage had made up his mind.
He had absolute confidence in his arrangements.
No matter how much Naruto causes trouble, the Fourth Hokage's influence has long since faded. Hopefully, he can behave himself and become Asuma Sarutobi's support. Otherwise, he wouldn't mind replacing him with another Jinchūriki.
"Naruto, control your expression. The malice within him is constantly increasing," Nine-Tails warned Naruto from within his body. The malice emanating from the Third Hokage brought back unpleasant memories for him.
