Naruto: Two opponents versus Naruto, Konoha panics!

"Sasuke?" Ino blinked.

Then he looked at Sakura.

But Sakura's expression seemed a little off.

"Sakura?"

"Sakura!"

Ino called out twice, but Sakura didn't respond.

Finally, it was Hanabi who tugged at Sakura's hand, and Sakura snapped out of her daze.

Why are you so nervous?

Ino didn't understand.

Sakura managed a forced smile.

He said, "I am a little nervous."

"I wonder what my attitude would be in the black-framed world..."

"Oh my god~" Ino sighed and tapped Sakura's forehead.

Don't you understand yourself?

"Didn't you see how you looked inside the black-framed world, without even blushing?"

"Is...is it that obvious?" Sakura stammered.

Clearly, she seemed to have realized something as well.

Ino reassured her, "It's okay. The black-framed world is the black-framed world, and our world is ours. They won't affect each other."

"A new classmate?"

"Uchiha?"

Naruto paused for a moment.

[Then, almost instinctively, he asked.]

"Has no one from the Uchiha clan enrolled before?"

Upon hearing this, the three little ones blinked, clearly not understanding what Naruto meant.

Shikamaru immediately replied, "Yes, that guy named Uchiha Sasuke should be the first one."

Naruto and Shikamaru exchanged a glance.

They then tacitly refrained from saying anything more.

Speaking of Uchiha Sasuke...

Ino crossed her arms, nodded, and said, "Just as rumored, the Uchiha clan members are mostly handsome men and beautiful women."

"That Uchiha Sasuke is really handsome; all the girls in the class blush for him. But he seems a bit arrogant."

["Not at all like our Naruto, who is both cute and handsome, and a super warm guy~!"]

"There seem to be a bit too many prefixes," Shikamaru rolled his eyes at Ino.

The three families had a very good relationship, so much so that the three were inseparable, just like three siblings.

"What does it matter?" Ino retorted immediately.

Then he looked at Sakura and said, "Right? Sakura?"

Sakura's lips curled slightly, "Mmm!"

"Although Sasuke is the most handsome boy I've ever seen, I don't really know him, and he doesn't seem interested in girls. He's always giving people the cold shoulder, so he definitely can't compare to Naruto!"

As she spoke, Sakura secretly glanced at Naruto.

[How could a Minato clone not be cool?]

Upon hearing this, Ino's eyes widened, "Fine~!"

"You actually think Sasuke is more handsome than Naruto?!"

Naruto chuckled and interrupted the conversation.

"Is everyone hungry?" Naruto asked.

【"Hungry~!" x4】

"Well then, I'll leave it to you all for now." Naruto chuckled as he stood up.

Choji immediately got up and sprinted to the kitchen at top speed.

Ino and Sakura also got up and whispered as they went to the kitchen.

[These were their requirements; everyone's tasks before the pot boiled were already assigned.]

Naruto looked at Shikamaru.

"Has the entire Uchiha clan relocated to the outskirts of Konoha?"

Upon hearing this, Shikamaru seemed to have anticipated that Naruto would ask such a question.

"Hmm, I heard the Uchiha clan doesn't seem to have any complaints about this. That Uchiha Sasuke is supposedly the youngest son of the Uchiha clan head."

"What about the eldest son?" Naruto asked.

"I don't know. Dad and Uncle Inoichi's conversation ended there. They must have realized I was eavesdropping." Shikamaru shrugged and leaned lazily against the refrigerator behind him.

"However, I think it's very likely that the eldest son of the Uchiha clan head was assigned to work on matters related to the Hokage."

"Hmm...like those people who were monitoring you before, probably."

After saying that, Shikamaru yawned.

It seems like they're not interested in this matter.

Naruto paused for a moment, then said, "I'll try to contact Sasuke. I think I might be able to get what I want from him."

Shikamaru frowned slightly. "It's probably best not to get too close to the Uchiha."

"Just like you said last time, about Hinata..."

"Naruto~ I've finished washing the pots~!" Ino poked her cute little head out from behind the kitchen.

"Okay, coming right away," Naruto replied with a smile, then looked at Shikamaru.

"Give it a try, and if it doesn't work, forget about it."

"We're still young, after all. Oh, and you'll be coming to the new training session this afternoon too."

"Yes, yes, yes~" Shikamaru waved his hand. "What a hassle."

Yamanaka Ino: "You're two-faced!"

Ino Yamanaka: "However, Shikamaru in the black-framed world, although he often says 'trouble,' is always willing to help Naruto in the black-framed world."

Temari: "Perhaps, like Orochimaru, he's very interested in what Naruto with black frames is going to do."

Kiba Inuzuka: "Tch! Idiot, come find me! I'm sure I can get my hands on that so-called history book!"

Shino Aburame: "I might have an easier time getting this information. To understand insects, you have to go back to their previous generation, which involves a wide range of knowledge."

Orochimaru: "Perhaps, in my black-rimmed world, if I were to encounter black-rimmed Naruto, I would also develop a strong interest in him."

Kushina Uzumaki: "I advise you to behave yourself."

Minato Namikaze: Yes, Orochimaru-senpai. While I am very grateful that you agreed to resurrect me using Edo Tensei, let's keep things separate.

Kushina Uzumaki: "When did I give you permission to speak?"

Minato Namikaze: ......

Tobirama Senju: Alright! Let him grow strong like this! In the future, I will definitely kill those four traitors!

Hiruzen Sarutobi: "Tobirama-sensei, I..."

Danzo Shimura: "Shut up, Tobirama-sensei! Hiruzen might be too proud to admit it, but let me tell you, even if you were resurrected, you'd still have to address Hiruzen as 'The Strongest Hokage, the Third Hokage'!"

Danzo, now completely disillusioned, is only thinking about how to stir up trouble.

boom--! ! !

Suddenly.

A deafening explosion resounded through Konoha.

Everyone was shocked.

Soon, an old man ran over and shouted:

"Oh no!"

"The cemetery suddenly exploded!"

"Judging by the direction, it looks like the graves of the Second and First Generation Lords!"

Everyone: "..."

The days that followed became simple and routine again.

After confirming that no one was watching him anymore, Naruto relaxed considerably.

The back mountain is practically a natural training ground.

Following Shikamaru's memory, everyone began to seriously train in tree climbing.

At the beginning, everyone was full of enthusiasm.

In the end, the four little ones cried and begged to switch back to their original training.

[Aside from knowing that chakra should be attached to the soles of the feet, there was no other useful information.]

From barely managing three steps to five.

The five little ones fell countless times.

Naruto became more determined despite setbacks because he could feel that force influencing him again.

He wasn't sure if it was the wicked fox's power or the power of that delirious whisper.

In short, the more you interfere with Naruto, the more determined he becomes to give up.

Taking advantage of his rapid recovery, Naruto practiced tree climbing almost recklessly.

After each training session, the four little ones had to help him walk home.

Fortunately, Naruto recovered quickly.

[And there's no need to worry about the food source (it comes from Choji's father).]

[In just half a month, Naruto successfully stabilized himself on the tree trunk for a full five seconds.]

This really motivated the four little ones.

In the chat room, many people were praising Naruto with black frames for his perseverance.

Kushina was heartbroken to see the little pearls falling like rain.

Two weeks later, Shikamaru brought back a message.

[The arrogant Uchiha Sasuke, having overheard Shikamaru and Choji secretly training amidst their deliberate conversation, immediately became interested and initiated a conversation with Shikamaru.]

Before Shikamaru could reply, Ino preemptively answered Sasuke, "Want to train with us? No way! We only recognize the strong as friends. You? Hmph~"

This infuriated Sasuke so much that he almost attacked him.

However, as soon as he made a move, he found himself surrounded by the four little ones.

After leaving a menacing "You'll remember this," he turned and left.

P.S.: The temperature dropped so quickly; I didn't close the windows last night, and now I have a headache...
