Far away in the Hokage Building, Sarutobi looked at Naruto's face on the crystal ball, then glanced somewhat distractedly at Danzo beside him.
"You really have changed, old friend."
The moment Naruto proactively contacted Danzo, the Anbu had already informed Sarutobi. If it were according to Sarutobi's original personality, he would have appeared to stop them immediately.
But after yesterday's exchange, Sarutobi actually felt somewhat ashamed towards this old friend. Patiently, he used the Telescope Technique to observe the two.
The Telescope Technique could only see the images, but not hear the sounds.
However, Sarutobi had learned more or less about the situation through the Anbu who were secretly following.
He never expected that Danzo, who was Danzo who single-mindedly wanted to train Naruto into a fighting machine, would now patiently teach him about recognition and trust.
But this was a good thing. Sarutobi dispatched another team of Anbu to follow them, and stopped paying attention to the two.
Once Danzo intended to teach Naruto some extreme ideas, these Anbu would naturally appear to stop him.
Danzo's strength was far from what it used to be, and these Anbu could also monitor Danzo well.
At this time, the Root ninjas had already reported to Danzo about the increase in the surrounding Anbu.
Noticing the disappearance of the prying sensation, Danzo could more or less guess that it was Sarutobi secretly spying on him again.
"Uncle Dan, I still can't control the Chakra in my body." Naruto said to Danzo with some frustration, "Every time I mobilize Chakra, I have to put in a lot of effort. Am I very stupid?"
Ever since he learned to extract Chakra, he had found it difficult to mobilize the Chakra in his body for circulation.
Hearing these words, not only did Danzo roll his eyes, but even the Anbu Ninja hiding in the dark couldn't help but roll their eyes as well.
After a brief exchange, and confirming that Naruto's values were indeed very positive, Danzo began to plan to teach Naruto to become a ninja.
It was very important to keep the Child of Destiny firmly in his hands.
And to become a ninja, the most basic thing was to have Chakra.
After teaching Naruto the method of extracting Chakra, Danzo was dumbfounded, and the Anbu Ninja hiding in the dark were equally dumbfounded.
Merely on his first attempt at extraction, Naruto successfully extracted a considerable amount of Chakra.
The amount of Chakra could be explained by the Uzumaki Clan's bloodline and the identity of the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki.
But just on his first try, Naruto successfully extracted Chakra.
If it wasn't because Danzo's teaching ability was maxed out, then it was definitely because of Naruto's talent.
You had to know that, according to the memories of Danzo's original body, even he himself had spent nearly a day to successfully master the method of extracting Chakra.
But Naruto...
Danzo coughed and said with a calm expression, "This is only the first day. Everything must be done step by step. Your talent is good, but it's still a little lacking compared to your father and Uncle Dan."
"Because of the influence of the Nine Tails in your body, your Chakra reserves will be larger than ordinary people, but also more difficult to control."
Naruto asked doubtfully, "If it's difficult to control, what impact will it have?"
"Every bit of Chakra is extremely precious, especially in battle."
"Better control of your Chakra will allow you to save Chakra when performing ninjutsu."
"At the same time, the control of Chakra and the mastery of ninjutsu can determine the power of your ninjutsu."
Danzo explained as he slowly formed hand seals.
"This is a Wind Release C-rank ninjutsu, Vacuum Sphere. Remember my hand seals and their order." To conceal his hand speed, Danzo deliberately slowed down and said to Naruto.
Chakra gathered within his body, and an invisible wave of air shot out from Danzo's mouth, slamming into a large tree beside them.
Bang.
It was only a C-rank ninjutsu, and with Danzo controlling the amount of Chakra, it only made the tree shake slightly.
"I controlled the amount of Chakra just now, so the power was weakened." Danzo explained, seeing Naruto's questioning gaze, "Next, I will release the Chakra and use the same hand seals to increase the power of this ninjutsu."
He demonstrated it again in the same way.
But as Danzo's Chakra was fully released, a huge wind ball, substantial and visible to the naked eye, shot out from his mouth, rushing towards the tree with swift and fierce momentum.
After a brief collision and rumble, Naruto stared dumbfounded at the tree in front of him, which had been shattered into several pieces.
"Under my control, the C-rank ninjutsu Vacuum Sphere, performed in the same way, has the level of a B-rank, or even no less than an A-rank." Danzo said proudly.
The original body possessed four Chakra natures, but he had extremely deep research into Wind Release.
If Sarutobi was a ninjutsu professor proficient in all fiveescape techniques, then Danzo was a Wind Release master who had been deeply taught by the Second Hokage, specializing in only one type.
Because he inherited Danzo's memories, he was extremely skilled in controlling Chakra flow.
As expected of Lord Danzo, praised by the Hokage... the Anbu Ninja observing in the dark thought to himself.
Even if he had awakened the Sharingan's copying ability, without absolute research into Wind Release, even if he could copy Danzo's ninjutsu, he would not be able to unleash the same power as him.
Naruto's eyes lit up, and he tugged at Danzo's clothes, shouting, "Uncle Dan, teach me this."
"Wait until you can flexibly control the Chakra in your body." Danzo twitched his lips. With the Nine Tails' interference, it would not be easy for Naruto to flexibly control Chakra.
"Let's go, let's go eat ramen."
Pulling Naruto, Danzo stopped him from eagerly trying to climb the tree again, "I forgot to pay Teuchi for the ramen yesterday, so I'll have to eat a few more bowls today to apologize to him."
"Eh!"
Naruto widened his eyes, suppressing the thought of continuing to train.
He had such a good Uncle Dan, he had to introduce him to Ichiraku Uncle and Ayame.
"Shikamaru, I'm so bored, let's think of some fun games to play."
At this moment, a somewhat mischievous and childish voice rang out.
The familiar names made Danzo turn his head to look. A group of three people, one fat, one thin, and a girl, were walking towards them.
The chubby boy was holding snacks, constantly stuffing them into his mouth.
The girl with the blonde ponytail grabbed the skinny boy's arm and said, "I'm so bored, so bored!"
"No way, that's too troublesome." The skinny boy replied with a helpless and lazy expression.
Ino-Shika-Cho.
Danzo recognized the three people's identities immediately.
He and Naruto didn't go to the training grounds for training; the current training grounds had already been occupied by ninja groups preparing for war.
They were currently in a relatively secluded park, and because of Naruto's arrival, there was no one here at all.
The three people walking towards them also saw Naruto and Danzo. They seemed a little surprised at first by the empty park, but they were relieved after seeing Naruto.
So it's this kid here.
