Naruto: Two opponents versus Naruto, Konoha panics!

Naruto's intuition told him that a storm was brewing.

Looking at Sasuke's bewildered expression.

Naruto secretly shook his head.

Is this child being overprotected?

【Um?!】

Naruto suddenly frowned and looked at Sasuke for a while longer.

Sasuke felt a chill run down his spine from her gaze.

"What exactly happened?" Sasuke subconsciously emphasized in his voice.

Naruto simply shook his head.

[It must be my imagination... Why do I often feel somewhat displeased after seeing Sasuke?]

"Has anything happened in your tribe recently?"

"Speak out about any observations that feel different from usual."

Upon hearing this, Sasuke frowned.

After a moment's thought, he said, "Brother Shisui has been missing for a long time. Not long ago, Onii-chan even taught those clansmen who suspected him a lesson."

"However, my father stopped me in the end."

[Uchiha Shisui?]

Naruto sensed something was wrong.

I've heard quite a bit about Uchiha Shisui and Uchiha Itachi from Sasuke.

Both of them belong to the Anbu, a force under the Hokage's command.

[“So...the old man hasn’t been focusing his attention on that all along, has he?”]

[A message from Hinata's father...]

Naruto's brow furrowed deeper and deeper.

After a long silence, he took a deep breath and said, "Sasuke, there seems to be something fishy about this."

"Go back and tell your father...beware of traitors."

The Will of Fire is a weapon that should not be underestimated.

【Om—】

Sasuke's mind went completely blank.

He didn't quite understand what Naruto meant by this.

But upon hearing the word "traitor," he instinctively sensed something was wrong.

"Who is it?!" Sasuke asked hurriedly.

"Go back and tell your father now." Naruto shook his head, not saying anything more to Sasuke.

However, he still cautioned, "This matter is probably already common knowledge. Better safe than sorry. Unless you have absolute certainty, it's best to continue lying low... Of course, lying low forever isn't a solution either, so perhaps..."

[After carefully considering his words, Naruto added, "Consider failure before success, and leave yourself a way out, otherwise it will be utterly disastrous."]

"Go, and tell your father everything I said, word for word."

"He is the head of the Uchiha clan; he should consider things more comprehensively."

After saying that, Naruto looked at Sasuke and asked, "Have you memorized everything?"

Sasuke was stunned for a moment, then, seeing the unusual seriousness on Naruto's face, he didn't dare to delay and quickly got up and left.

Uchiha Fugaku: I knew it.

Uchiha Izuna: Hmph! With your petty scheming, you practically have your coup plot written all over your faces. Is it really that hard for anyone to see through you?

Fugaku Uchiha was naturally a little uncomfortable after being criticized, but he remained silent when he saw Izuna Uchiha's ID.

Uchiha Izuna: You disagree? Didn't you hear me? Even Naruto with black frames is pointing at you! You're the head of the Uchiha clan!

Fugaku Uchiha: Second Ancestor... I have no objections...

Uchiha Izuna: You're not even a qualified father. I don't know how you became the clan leader. And your performance as clan leader is even more indescribable.

Fugaku Uchiha could only smile wryly; what else could he say?

After all, what the Second Ancestor said was not wrong.

If they can't even manage their own families, the whole family will be in complete chaos.

He couldn't control his own son, and he became a traitor.

Regardless of whether the clansmen were well-managed, when they discovered problems with the coup, they chose to believe the traitors.

He sensed something was wrong that night, but did not rush out immediately to lead his people in rebellion.

Even if they had fulfilled their responsibilities as clan leaders, they knew that although the situation was bad, they could still survive and rebuild.

As a result, she chose to sit at home doing nothing.

This clan chief's role was truly complicated.

Watching Sasuke's hurried departure, Naruto remained silent for a moment before stopping himself from thinking about it further.

He can't get involved in this matter, and he doesn't have the ability to do so at the moment.

[Do what you can; given the insight of the head of the Uchiha Fugaku clan, he should have noticed something was wrong long ago.]

"I hope I'm wrong, otherwise Sasuke might become a completely different person."

[With a soft murmur, Naruto turned his head and continued his training.]

[The next day, when he saw Sasuke again.]

Sasuke appeared somewhat dazed.

He went home early and overheard his father and mother talking to his beloved older brother.

[Dad wants Onii-chan to control someone... Onii-chan doesn't seem to want to agree and hasn't said anything.]

[Finally, I discovered that my mother had told me not to tell anyone about it.]

After I repeated Naruto's words, my father simply told me not to worry about anything and to focus on my studies; they would handle everything.

Naruto wasn't surprised to see Sasuke's appearance.

He could only shake his head inwardly. His own situation wasn't good either, and he didn't want to have too much contact with the Uchiha clan, otherwise the old man would focus his attention on him again.

Fortunately, he has cultivated everything he needed to. Now he just needs time to settle down, continuously improve himself, and wait for his body to mature.

[Now, Naruto is the tallest in his class.]

Hinata, who always eats her fill, follows closely behind.

Kankuro: "It seems the only shorty we have is Naruto Uzumaki from our world."

Naruto Uzumaki: "Damn it, that guy carrying the puppet!"

Snapped--

No sooner had he spoken than Neji's slap landed.

"If your emotions are too volatile, control yourself and calmly consider whether your reaction was appropriate."

Snapped--

"Neji is right."

Shan Zhonghai nodded slightly.

Seeing Naruto's aggrieved expression, Yamanaka Inoichi coughed twice, feeling somewhat embarrassed.

There was no way around it; I just got used to playing it.

Because it's a peaceful era, Naruto ruled out the possibility of graduating early very early.

[Once the body matures, the next stage of training will involve mastering various chakra nature transformations.]

Naruto hasn't gotten complete information on this yet.

Iruka has been avoiding him lately, and Naruto is too embarrassed to confront him again anytime soon.

Since there's still plenty of time, I'll focus on strengthening myself while also teaching the younger ones.

However, what's meant to happen will happen.

Although Naruto didn't choose to play it safe, it's clear that he's currently in a position of little influence.

[Naruto had considered the worst-case scenario: losing a powerful 'ally'.]

That morning, Sasuke handed him a scroll.

[Upon acquiring it, Naruto immediately recognized it as a storage scroll with a special seal.]

"Did your father say anything?"

Sasuke shook his head. "I don't know."

Sasuke didn't say much about this matter.

[Over the past few years, he's also helped Naruto carry things for Fugaku Uchiha.]

After seeing that Naruto had put it away, Sasuke was about to ask about the secrets of the Body Flicker Technique.

[Iruka surprisingly deviated from his usual practice today, not arriving at the classroom on time and even announcing class early.]

Naruto sensed something was off; the atmosphere in the village had been strange this morning.

Shikamaru has also become much quieter.

Seeing that Sasuke seemed oblivious to everything, Naruto suddenly felt the storage scroll in his arms become rather heavy.

P.S.: I'm opening the code... I also love reading, and if I find something I like, I'll stay up all night... I didn't go to sleep until 1 AM, just woke up.
