Short blond hair, azure eyes, and six whisker-like marks on his face.
Naruto's appearance was truly iconic. In this world, Lin Guang had known Naruto since childhood, and they were very close.
"Huh, even a genius like you shouts his head off, Lin Guang? You'd really lose face if word got around at school."
Having heard Lin Guang's shout, Naruto sidled up with a cheeky grin.
Naruto hadn't expected even a genius like Lin Guang to scream so hysterically.
In the eyes of their classmates and teachers, Lin Guang had always been a mild-mannered genius.

Nagato Uzumaki was powerful, wasn't he? Even with an absurdly powerful kekkei genkai like the Rinnegan, hadn't Jiraiya still crippled him?
