He turned his gaze to the outside world.
Naruto had already been carried back to the village by Hiruzen Sarutobi, and was now issuing orders in his office in the Hokage Tower.
But that was exactly after the order was issued.
A middle-aged man with bandages and a gloomy expression pushed open the door and entered. He looked at Naruto in Hiruzen Sarutobi's arms and immediately said in a cold voice.
"Hiruzen, entrust the Nine-Tails' Jinchuriki to me for training. I will train him into a qualified Tailed Beast weapon!"
However, he received a firm rejection from Hiruzen Sarutobi.
"Impossible! Forget about Danzo, Minato's child to you!"
Even after being rejected, Danzo still didn't give up. "You're too soft-hearted, Hiruzen. If you don't control him now, the Jinchuriki..."
Unfortunately, before he could finish speaking...
This time, Hiruzen Sarutobi turned around and stared directly at his opponent with his sharp eyes, shouting, "Shut up, Danzo! I am the Naruto!"
This definitively proves that his decision will not change!
Danzo, on the other hand, was furious and said coldly, "You'll regret this, Hiruzen!"
Having said that, he turned and pushed open the door, then turned and left.
Hiruzen Sarutobi was left standing in the office, looking at the baby in his arms, and finally sighed.
He seemed to have aged even more.
Who could possibly know?
How much did he lose that night?
Meanwhile, in Asuramaru's mind, a system notification sounded: [Ding! Detected that the Third Naruto Hiruzen Sarutobi, is experiencing intense negative emotions. Gained 20,000 Emotion Points!]
However, Asuramaru didn't pay much attention to it at the moment. Instead, he looked with great interest at the special chakra hidden in Naruto's body.
"Is this what they call Asura's chakra? Is Naruto's future personality also due to this guy...?"
The system then asked a question.
"Ding! Should I seal it? For just 10,000 Emotion Points, I can seal it completely—even its father couldn't do anything about it!"
Upon hearing this, Asuramaru pondered for a moment before replying, "Then seal it."
[Ding! 10,000 Emotion Points have been consumed. The system will seal this item. Unsealing requires another 10,000 Emotion Points!]
Upon hearing the system notification, Asuramaru immediately frowned.
"You son of a bitch!"
In the blink of an eye.
Twelve years have passed, and it's been 60 years since Konoha!
Hidden Leaf Village.
The top floor of a duplex apartment building on the street—that's Naruto's home.
The house was neatly organized.
With short blond hair and bangs framing his face, he possessed handsome features, and three whisker-like lines on either side of his cheeks confirmed his identity.
It was dawn.
Naruto Uzumaki, however, was dressed in a black shirt and sitting cross-legged on his bed at home, cultivating his chakra.
But consciousness had already traveled to the spiritual world.
At the place where the sky meets the sea.
Asuramaru stood not far away, watching the energetic young man in front of him fight against the mantis monster he had summoned.
"This guy is really troublesome."
He leaped to dodge the scythe that was hurtling towards him, and quickly formed hand seals.
"Clone Technique!"
In an instant.
Smoke billowed out, and three Naruto emerged from it.
Seeing this, the mantis monster below leaped and pierced through the chests of two Naruto in succession, but the remaining Naruto had already reached its front.
Sky-blue eyes locked onto their target, and then they drew their swords.
"Draw Slash!"
He gathered chakra into the blade and slashed forward horizontally.
In an instant.
The mantis monster was split in two.
After finishing all this, Naruto sheathed his sword, turned around, looked at the figure not far away, and said with a smile.
"I won, Asuramaru."
Seeing his pleading expression, Asuramaru just pursed his lips and said, "It was just defeating a Tiger Level monster, but you have indeed gotten a little stronger."
Hearing this unusual compliment, Naruto smiled brightly.
"Thank you for the compliment."
As he spoke, he seemed to realize something and continued, "But speaking of which, today should be graduation day at the Ninja Academy, so I'll be leaving now, Asuramaru."
Chapter 235 Others are really... I'm crying my eyes out.
Asuramaru then directly sent it out of this space.
With crimson eyes watching Naruto's disappearing figure, she couldn't help but feel a pang of emotion; time really does fly.
Unbeknownst to me, eleven years have passed since I last accompanied Naruto. Looking back, I remember how we would beat up Nine-Tails every now and then in this space to boost my Emotion Points.
It's a pity that after a few beatings, it didn't have much effect anymore.
Fortunately, Naruto has been molded into the person he wanted to be, and Heavenly Ninja Academy.
It's highly likely that it will follow the original story; that guy Mizuki will definitely jump out and tempt Naruto to steal the Scroll of Seals.
This gave him an opportunity.
This would allow Naruto to learn the Flying Thunder God in a very reasonable way, along with a bunch of forbidden techniques, and Mizuki as a scapegoat.
Selflessness!
He's really... I'm devastated.
Naruto, dressed in a black shirt, also woke up. After washing up in his room, he went out and headed towards the Ninja Academy.
However, along the way...
All the passersby cast disgusted glances at him, as if Naruto's very existence was a mistake to them!
They even openly hurled insults at each other.
Women buying vegetables on the street pointed and whispered, "Why isn't that fox demon dead yet? It's disgusting to look at."
"Who can argue with that? I really don't know why the Third Hokage would allow this fox demon to stay in the village..."
Even the vendors pointed their fingers and cursed.
"What are you looking at? I'm not selling you my stuff!"
Naruto's still somewhat immature face remained calm in the face of these insults, as if he had long been accustomed to them.
For him.
Asuramaru is all I need.
Not long after.
Upon arriving at the Ninja Academy, I entered my classroom and calmly sat down in my assigned window seat.
At this moment, a girl with long pink hair, Sakura Haruno, sitting not far away in the classroom, couldn't help but glance at Naruto and then at Sasuke.
Her pretty face flushed slightly as she struggled with her thoughts.
"Naruto and Sasuke are both so handsome, who should I choose...?"
Besides her, Hinata Hyuga, who was at the very back, also looked shyly at Naruto with her white eyes.
Naruto, however, didn't seem to care and calmly waited for the test to begin.
The classroom door was pushed open again, and Iruka, the teacher, walked in slowly, holding paper and pen, and calmly began to speak at the podium.
"Next, we will have our graduation exam. Those who are called upon, please come to the next classroom. The topic for this exam is the art of creating clones."
After a brief explanation, Iruka began calling out names, and then went to the next classroom first.
Alongside him in the assessment was Mizuki, a man with white hair. The two sat in front of the podium, chatting as they watched the students taking their assessments.
"Iruka, which student do you think is the strongest this year?"
Mizuki looked somewhat curious.
Sitting beside him, Iruka answered without hesitation, "The strongest? Without a doubt, it's Naruto Uzumaki."
The words had barely left his mouth.
Naruto pushed open the classroom door and, without any hesitation, immediately formed hand seals in front of Iruka and the other person.
"Clone Technique!"
In an instant, a cloud of smoke burst forth.
When the smoke cleared, three Naruto appeared in their sight.
Seeing this, Iruka nodded slightly and picked up the Leaf Village Forehead Protector, a symbol of graduation and becoming a ninja, from the table in front of him.
"Congratulations, Naruto."
You have passed the test. From now on, you are a capable ninja in Konoha.
Naruto quickly stepped forward, took the headband, and smiled calmly.
"Thank you for your guidance, Teacher Iruka."
For students who are both highly talented and have a good personality.
Who wouldn't like it? But thinking of all the rumors, Iruka smiled wryly and said, "Put on your headband, Naruto."
Upon hearing this, Naruto put his headband on and then turned and left the classroom under the watchful eyes of the two, without wasting much time.
However, Mizuki in the classroom subtly glanced at Naruto a few more times, as if he were plotting something.
After Naruto left the classroom, he heard Asuramaru complain, "That headband really looks ugly on my forehead."
Upon hearing this, Naruto immediately took off his headband and tied it around his neck. He could disregard everyone else, but he cared about Asuramaru had always been by his side!
After doing all this, I quickly asked myself, "How is it now? Does it look a little better?"
After examining him for a moment, Asuramaru said, "It's alright, but don't leave the school yet."
Is there a problem?
Naruto asked a question with some doubt, but he still obediently walked to the outside of the teaching building and did not leave the school just like that.
But he did not receive a reply from Asuramaru.
Until the assessment is over.
Naruto sat on a swing under the shade of a tree, calmly watching the children celebrating with their parents not far away.
But it was at this very moment...
Mizuki suddenly appeared beside him, smiling kindly, and said, "Congratulations on becoming a ninja, how about I treat you to Ichiraku Ramen?"
Upon hearing this, Naruto turned his head away.
