Naruto: Two opponents versus Naruto, Konoha panics!

Orochimaru: "Naruto with black frames is still taking things one step at a time."

Orochimaru: "How exciting... to witness firsthand the rise and growth of a groundbreaking genius."

Orochimaru: "What could be more exciting than this?"

Orochimaru's voice came from inside the chat room.

Many people shook their heads, saying that this guy was beyond saving.

No one doubts that if Orochimaru were a woman, she would probably already be throwing herself at Naruto in black, and even offering him advice on how to revive the Uzumaki clan...

"Lady Tsunade, accept it. Besides... it's a black-framed world."

"We're just spectators. Do you think that just because Naruto the Black-Framed Man has taken care of the Black-Framed World, he can come to this world and take care of us... I mean, take care of you?"

Silently, she spoke with some trepidation.

Tsunade's condition is very strange.

Shizune had never seen Tsunade like this before.

Of course.

The comforting silence didn't have much effect.

Tsunade's pretty face turned bright red.

She wasn't originally thinking about this.

But Jingyin seems to think that she cares a lot.

This caused Tsunade to find herself thinking about the story again and again after hearing it.

It's definitely a problem.

But... being muted often seems to be the truth.

That's really frustrating.

"I am the mighty Tsunade Princess!"

"The princess of the Land of Fire, one of the legendary Sannin!"

"Furthermore, he is one of the few pioneers of medical ninjutsu in the ninja world!"

"..."

Tsunade bolstered her own morale.

Shizune quietly added, "Lady Tsunade, you forgot... there's another title... Big Fat Sheep."

ga-

Tsunade: "..."

For a moment, Tsunade was speechless.

The large screen with its black border continues to display the image:

"According to the data sheet... Naruto's combat talents seem to include a high level of talent in space-time ninjutsu."

"So detailed... it seems the Third Hokage had already decided what to give Naruto after completely trusting him."

"Multiple Shadow Clone Techniques should also be included. My role is to bring these forward a bit, so that the Third Hokage can feel more at ease..."

Kakashi took a deep breath.

[Then, slowing down, he entered the Hokage Building carrying the evaluation scroll of Team 7's assessment.]

[Knock knock knock—]

[Shortly afterward, there was a knock on the door of the Hokage's office in the Hokage Building.]

Hiruzen Sarutobi, who was engrossed in reviewing scrolls, was startled.

Then he turned his head and glanced at the sky.

It's still early.

[Something unexpected.]

However, the thought of him becoming his future right-hand man made Hiruzen Sarutobi feel relieved.

[Fast is right.]

[It's abnormal to be slow.]

Hiruzen Sarutobi paused his seemingly pointless work, nodded slightly, and then said, "Come in."

[Squeak—]

The door to the Hokage's office was slowly pushed open.

Kakashi walked in.

"The assessment for Class Seven is over."

With that, Kakashi placed the scroll on the Hokage's desk.

Hiruzen Sarutobi's gaze narrowed slightly.

He then calmly picked up the scroll and examined it.

[Look at Kakashi's evaluation of Team 7.]

[Hiruzen Sarutobi is not surprised.]

In fact, it had already guessed most of it.

It knew the three people's situation perfectly.

As it turned out, the three individuals behaved exactly as it had predicted.

Sasuke's and Sakura's performances were somewhat unexpected.

But essentially they're still pretty much the same.

Naruto's performance caught Hiruzen Sarutobi's eye.

Although I had already guessed that the child would grow up very quickly.

There are so many precedents.

[Whether it's Orochimaru, Minato Namikaze, Kakashi Hatake, or even Itachi Uchiha of the Uchiha clan.]

These are all geniuses.

Naruto has the potential to become the perfect Jinchūriki.

[Naturally, they are no worse than the others.]

[In fact, Hiruzen Sarutobi believed that under his tutelage, Naruto was absolutely in a class of his own.]

【No, that's right.】

[In Kakashi's comments.]

The praise was extremely long.

[It can be said that he is a genius even Kakashi Hatake, who is a genius himself, admires.]

[A genius among geniuses!]

[He's only slightly worse than he was back then.]

Hiruzen Sarutobi nodded with satisfaction.

[After reading...]

It felt its thoughts had become clear.

I feel so comfortable all over.

After all, this was someone it had nurtured itself, a future Hokage's assistant.

In the future, Konoha will definitely become stronger.

As the strongest Hokage, I now possess the same resources as the Hidden Cloud Village.

[A perfect Jinchūriki as an ally!]

[Even after he abdicates, he can let Asuma take over.]

[There is a perfect Jinchūriki of the strongest tailed beast, the Nine-Tails.]

Hiruzen Sarutobi felt that the future was bright.

"Hehe, not bad, not bad."

It didn't really suppress its inner joy.

[He put down the cigarette reel, lit the pipe, and looked at Kakashi, saying:]

"How are you feeling?"

"Impeccable." Kakashi gave it the highest praise.

Hiruzen Sarutobi squinted, his old face wrinkling like an old chrysanthemum.

"The promised reward can be given."

After a long pause, Hiruzen Sarutobi pondered for a moment before speaking:

"You can handle Sasuke's situation as you see fit."

"Sakura... let's do as she wishes. Becoming a medical ninja will greatly improve Team 7."

As for Naruto...

Hiruzen Sarutobi did not continue speaking.

Kakashi remained outwardly calm, but inwardly his heart skipped a beat.

【disagree?】

[This old guy is actually being this defensive?]

Naruto has endured humiliation and hardship for so many years...

【call--】

There's nothing we can do.

If you don't want to, then you don't want to.

The Multiple Shadow Clone Technique is practically tailor-made for Naruto.

Even if you disagree, I have to submit it first.

At worst, we can tell Naruto not to show it off so easily.

We absolutely must not reveal ourselves too early.

【...】

Kakashi's mind raced with thoughts.

"Multiple shadow clones?"

"This child has put in a lot of effort, and this technique is indeed very suitable for him."

Hiruzen Sarutobi rubbed his pipe.

This technique is far too crucial for Naruto.

Even though Hiruzen Sarutobi completely trusted Naruto, he still hesitated.

This is normal.

Because if Naruto were to obtain it now...

That means Naruto has become an absolute threat.

[Its position has been threatened.]

If something unexpected happens, we could very well end up failing unexpectedly.

In reality, it's just been lacking a driving force.

[That's why Kakashi's appearance was at such a delicate time.]

"I think it's feasible."

"Class 7 is just as good as all the previous classes."

"They're practically in a league of their own."

The implication is...

Wasn't this something you planned long ago?

[You probably expected this outcome; dragging it out any longer would have been problematic.]

Of course, Kakashi would never say such a thing aloud.

Hiruzen Sarutobi remained silent.

【"alright."】

"I understand about this. You did well by not agreeing to his request outright."
