Naruto: Two opponents versus Naruto, Konoha panics!

Kakashi is gone; some people feel utterly hopeless.

Before leaving, Naruto reminded him not to slack off.

[Chidori is a ninjutsu he developed; how can he not innovate after so long?]

Kakashi really wanted to say that there were innovative ways to use the Sharingan.

But looking at the Chidori Stream in Naruto's hand... the Lightning Blade-like Lightning Blade...

[Damn! I finally got serious for once...]

How could we lose so completely in the blink of an eye?

[Even... this kid only watched it twice... and all the hard work he put into developing Chidori was stolen... No! More than that!]

[This Chidori Stream... isn't based on Chidori, but on a much more difficult version of Raikiri!]

Is the gap really that big?!

Putting everything else aside, Kakashi's mentality has truly collapsed.

Mei Terumi: "Don't even mention it, if I had a disciple like that, I'm afraid he wouldn't be much better than Kakashi."

Temari: "That's really too much of a blow."

Sakura Haruno: "He's not giving Kakashi-sensei any chance at all, but... well done~!"

Tobirama Senju: "That's fine too. That kid's lazy attitude is really annoying to look at."

Might Guy: "Yeah, Kakashi is indeed very lazy."

Kakashi rolled his eyes at his best friend.

Wait, wait until our Naruto awakens and obtains Ninjutsu, then we'll compare our youth.

The days that followed were quite simple.

Class 7's students basically live a very short life, going only between two points.

Naruto continued exploring the Four Symbols Sealing Technique, and then further developed the Lightning Blade Style.

Research on the Rasengan has never ceased.

The big fox remains the same as always.

Life seemed to continue peacefully like this.

As night falls.

After checking on Team 7's training progress, Naruto left.

Where to go?

【Of course, I'm going to find Izumi's wife!】

He wasn't used to sleeping on tatami mats, plus there was someone warming his bed over there.

Even a fool knows which option to choose.

[As for why we set off as soon as it got dark?]

[If you're any slower, Izumi's wife will be in the kitchen.]

[They were too slow... so the reward can only be given to Zabuza.]

And then... that was it. Zabuza has been lying in bed for two days now.

In the Pure Land, the spring blushed deeply.

They also have to endure the teasing from Kushina and Mikoto Uchiha.

Is it really that bad?

Hmm...it seems the problem isn't between bad and not bad.

On this day, the shadow clone, located far away in the Land of Fire, transmitted back memories and experiences.

Konoha has indeed made a move.

[Just as Naruto guessed.]

The old man's true intentions were not what they seemed.

Let Class 7 take on this task.

[In reality, it's all about finding a legitimate reason to interfere in other countries' internal affairs.]

[It's highly likely that money is what moves people's hearts.]

[I want to just eat everyone's white gloves.]

Team 7 has the strongest overall strength, and their instructor, a Jonin, is also the strongest.

This configuration is best suited for this task.

[As long as Zabuza is killed... basically, any ninja hired by Gato.]

Therefore, even if it's for the sake of his pride, Kado will definitely not give up so easily.

[If things go smoothly, Gato will be killed by the rogue ninja he employs, and then Gato's assets can be rightfully seized.]

[And so, the ANBU ninjas have been dispatched.]

Of course, not many Anbu ninjas were deployed; the majority were Root organization ninjas from Danzo's side.

Even if it gets exposed, it's Konoha's doing, what does it have to do with the strongest Hokage?

Tobirama Senju: "Hmph!"

Tobirama Senju: "Just hearing about it makes me angry."

Uchiha Izuna: Aren't you supposed to be very loud?

Uchiha Izuna: Keep yelling!

Tobirama Senju: "..."

"Ignore it for now."

"It will take at least three days for them to arrive."

"We'll have to erase all traces along the way... Hmph, that's no small task."

Naruto chuckled.

Then take a deep breath.

The efforts of the past few days have not been in vain.

At this moment, the invisible shackles binding Naruto finally found a 'key' that could barely be considered a 'key'.

However, to Naruto's surprise, the giant fox went back on its word again.

I promised to tell you everything I know.

The result...

The big fox only said a few words.

[First, it was indeed separated from the Ten-Tails, just like the other eight tailed beasts. The contents of the stone tablet, except for the final Infinite Tsukuyomi, are basically correct.]

Secondly, regarding the Gedo Mazo and the Sage of Six Paths, the Gedo Mazo does indeed require the Rinnegan to summon and is a product of some kind of sealing technique. The Sage of Six Paths truly existed, as it was he who divided the Ten-Tails into nine parts.

According to the big fox.

When distributing chakra, it's very likely that Shukaku (One-Tailed) received a portion, the Great Fox received a portion, Matatabi (Two-Tailed) received a portion, and the Great Fox received a portion...

[Apart from that, the big fox remained silent.]

[Not a single word was mentioned about the information Naruto most wanted to know.]

Of course, after spending so many years together, Naruto still understands this sly fox.

[Probe a little more closely.]

[Look, the old fox who pretended to know everything has confessed everything.]

That's all it knows.

The Sage of Six Paths ran away when the child was very young.

[While it's said to be death, the big fox suspects it's actually gone to do something big.]

Then he abandoned nine young, weak, and helpless tailed beasts, leaving them to find their own way to survive.

【...】

"Are you ready?"

[Inside the sealed space, Naruto looked at the giant fox and said in a deep voice.]

The large fox lay prone, its nine fluffy tails flailing wildly behind it, its enormous eyes filled with anxiety.

Are you confident?

Upon hearing this, Naruto nodded slightly, and then a slight smile appeared on his lips.

The tense atmosphere vanished instantly.

"Aren't you going to talk about your genius now?"

The big fox rolled its eyes at him. "Idiot."

"This is no joke."

"If you're not careful, you could die!"

"I won't die." Naruto shook his head.

"At worst... I'll add another seal. As long as you can break through the seal, I'll be fine."

"Whatever!" The giant fox closed its eyes, too lazy to even look at Naruto.

However, the big fox was actually deeply shaken.

This means that if they fail, Naruto's life will be in its hands.

However, Naruto did not hesitate for a moment in the face of this outcome.

[Even under the guise of Ninja Sect.]

The big fox is truly out of options.

[This kid... every time I think he's about to do something bad, he always pulls this stunt, like a surefire way to put the fox at ease—his sincerity.]

That's strange.

When did this fox become so easily manipulated?

[The secret technique must be put on the agenda!]

[Let's make that wretched little blondie pay!]

Naruto, of course, couldn't fully fathom the fox's hidden thoughts.

【"call--"】

"Okay, let's start trying."

"Unseal the seal."
