Naruto: Two opponents versus Naruto, Konoha panics!

【"See you tomorrow."】

【"Hmm~"】

"There's a celebration tomorrow, we'll come find you then!"

After saying goodbye to Ino, Naruto did not return the way he came.

Instead, it went in a circle.

[To be honest, what Naruto just witnessed really scared him.]

[There seemed to be a hint of resentment in Ino's father's eyes.]

"Hahaha~"

Akimichi Choza showed absolutely no sign of restraint.

Hashirama Senju: This child is calm and composed.

Mito Uzumaki: She doesn't resemble Kushina at all.

Mito Uzumaki: But that's what makes Naruto with the black frame so terrifying.

Nara Shikaku sighed, "The black-rimmed Naruto looks so much like the old Minato."

"The thing that Inoichi fears most is bound to happen."

"Although many factors influenced the situation back then... the fact is that in just one night, Minato 'snatched' the only candidate for the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki."

Choza Akimichi patted Shikaku Nara on the shoulder, "It's okay, their children will still be 'pigs' in the future~".

"Look, Ino's hair color is quite similar to Naruto's, isn't it?"

"That's not what I'm worried about," Nara Shikaku waved his hand.

"The third generation in the black-framed world couldn't possibly be unaware of this."

"But they didn't step in to stop us from doing it."

"Plus, the Third Hokage's influence on Naruto..."

"I'm worried that in the black-framed world, besides the Hyuga, the three of us will also be included."

"What?" Choza Akimichi blinked.

"It's nothing." Seeing his friend like this, Nara Shikaku could only shake his head and give a wry smile.

"Okay, I'll listen to you." Choza Akimichi laughed heartlessly again.

Of course, it wasn't that Akimichi Choza couldn't see anything.

With Lu Jiu around, if he could think of it himself, how could his friend not?

On the way back.

Naruto discovers that all the ninjas monitoring him seem to have disappeared.

He frowned slightly; his intuition told him that something big was about to happen.

"There's a celebration tomorrow...this shouldn't be happening."

"Fox demon, I want to go check on things. If I'm in danger, please don't abandon me."

[A soft murmur.]

[Whoosh—]

The next instant, Naruto leaped high into the air.

Standing on the rooftop, the cold wind was even more biting.

He himself didn't know when it started, but he seemed to have become as light as a feather.

Although this skillful technique cannot be used for an extended period, it is sufficient for the current situation.

He also asked Shikamaru.

Shikamaru was quite surprised at the time.

This is a power that can only be obtained after refining chakra.

Ninjas are so powerful because they can refine and use chakra.

Naruto remained silent for a long time afterward.

"Looking at it this way, I really am quite special."

"But ever since the day I moved out, that comforting feeling I had never returned."

"However, I'm certain that it must be the power of a fox demon."

[Night.]

Naruto moved swiftly across the rooftops like a ghost.

[A petite figure, shrouded in night.]

The people below were completely unaware of Naruto.

Even ninjas are no exception.

【at the same time.】

[Inside the Hokage's office at the Hokage Building.]

[Hiruzen Sarutobi puts down his pipe.]

Looking at the ANBU ninja who appeared before him, he said calmly, "How was it?"

"Lord Hokage, Naruto Uzumaki is still the same as usual."

"That's all right then. We don't need to keep an eye on Naruto for now. That kid has already deeply grasped the importance of the Will of Fire."

"We're short-handed lately, so you'll have to go with them to guard the edge of the barrier."

"Yes, Hokage-sama!" the ANBU ninja replied, then used the Body Flicker Technique to leave.

Hiruzen Sarutobi looked out the window.

Two days ago, someone from Kumogakure came over.

[Hiruzen Sarutobi must be treated with utmost care, otherwise, a single misstep could very well provoke a war between the two villages.]

[Konoha is still recovering from the Nine-Tails' attack; it is not advisable to start a war.]

Otherwise, the other three great ninja villages would all rush over to join the fun, like cats drawn by the smell of fish.

"Strange, logically speaking, both Kumogakure and Iwagakure should have suffered heavy losses as well."

"Shouldn't they just pretend nothing happened and that the country's power remains unchanged?"

"But now they're proactively sending people to sign an alliance agreement?"

"Let's first see what their purpose is."

Hiruzen Sarutobi picked up his pipe, then suddenly seemed to remember something and gave a faint smile.

"The Fourth Hokage of Kumogakure is still too young. Heh, if this trick worked, your father wouldn't have had to suffer in silence back then."

A moment later, Hiruzen Sarutobi spoke to the shadows in the corner:

"Don't stop that Cloud Ninja leader. Let's see what he's up to."

"However, I don't want any unexpected incidents to occur at tomorrow's celebration."

【"yes."】

[Whoosh—]

Yamanaka Ino: "I knew it! Nothing good ever comes of that old man showing up!"

Mei Terumi: "Little Ino, you're right. As soon as the Third Hokage of Konoha appears, something bad immediately happens."

Hyuga Neji: "Damn Third Hokage!"

Orochimaru: "Sarutobi-sensei, come out and say something! Everyone's waiting for you."

Hiruzen Sarutobi's eye twitched.

At the time, he assumed that the Fourth Raikage was young and impetuous, and acted rashly, as he had only recently taken office.

I also want to take this opportunity to teach a lesson.

Unexpectedly, the envoy sent by the other side turned out to be so incompetent.

He was killed by Hiashi Hyuga in less than one exchange.

Moreover, the Hidden Cloud Village dared to send people to negotiate under this pretext, showing a very tough attitude.

They had previously borrowed envoys from Kumogakure.

At that time, the Third Raikage could only suffer in silence.

Ultimately, it was because Konoha lacked high-level combat power at the time.

【call out--】

Naruto jumped off the roof.

[It landed right at its own doorstep.]

After going around in circles, we didn't find anything unusual.

However, as they passed the stronghold of a powerful ninja clan, Naruto sensed ninjas guarding the area from afar.

"This situation is very wrong."

"However, it's not something I can participate in right now."

"Otherwise, I'll definitely lead those people to that old bastard's family!"

Naruto took off his scarf and glanced at the sky.

"Go to sleep. Just be more careful tomorrow."

Going to bed early and waking up early is already a good habit.

Shimura Danzo: "Hiruzen! See! I told you, you were going to hand over the Jinchuriki to me!"

Neji closed his eyes in pain.

"What's wrong, Neji?" Naruto noticed Neji's change in mood and asked instinctively.

Neji took a deep breath to calm himself down.

"Tomorrow."

"This taboo mark will be placed on my forehead."

"Tomorrow, on the day of Konoha's celebration ceremony."

At that time, Neji was still somewhat naive and unaware of the cruel reality.

After finishing my practice, I saw the commotion outside and decided to go out and have some fun.

However, his father took him to the dojo, where his uncle and grandfather, members of the main family, cast the Caged Bird Curse on him.

Meanwhile, in the Hidden Cloud Village, the Fourth Raikage remained silent for a moment.

The Fourth Raikage: "Because of my father, Kumogakure was able to preserve its fighting strength. During those years, we constantly sent people out to harass other countries."

The Fourth Raikage: "We've been fighting Konoha in numerous battles, both large and small, for many years now. In reality, we're nearing our limit."

The Fourth Raikage suddenly smiled.

Fourth Raikage: "That's right, I've said it before, none of the Five Great Shinobi Villages should criticize each other, but my Hidden Cloud Village is different."

The Fourth Raikage: "When it comes to scheming, we do it openly and honestly. The ninja leader sent to Konoha was part of our open scheme!"

The Fourth Raikage: "We're taking advantage of your weakness to openly extort money from you, and also to see what kind of attitude the so-called number one ninja village will have."

"Even if the ninja leader who was sent there didn't die."

"But how dare you people of Konoha attack an envoy from my Hidden Cloud Village?"

"What do you mean? I came to sign a peace treaty, and you actually attacked the envoy?"

"In short, whether he's dead or not, this matter cannot be left like this."

"Hand over the perpetrators! Otherwise, this small-scale war will escalate into a large-scale war!"
