Naruto: Two opponents versus Naruto, Konoha panics!

"Chieftain...I..."

[Uchiha clan territory, the clan head's residence.]

[Fugaku Uchiha and Mikoto Uchiha are kneeling.]

Before them, another Uchiha clansman knelt.

"Just in case... go."

"Don't attract attention."

[Uchiha Fugaku remained silent for a moment.]

Then, as if sighing, he said, "Be careful," and slowly rose, walking out of the study.

He glanced at his wife, then left the rest of the persuasion to her.

【...】

[At the ninja academy.]

"Wow!"

"Did you see that? Naruto-kun just looked at me!"

"I knew it! He definitely has feelings for me!"

"He's obviously after you!"

Naruto: "..."

Naruto, who has always been given a balanced diet, would naturally not be malnourished.

She also had long hair.

[Plus, she has a gentle personality and is friendly to others.]

Even though he's slightly less handsome than Sasuke, he's far more famous and a star at the ninja academy. Even the upperclassmen come over to 'steal' a peek at him.

[The top student in the grade, handsome and strong; if it weren't for his special status, those girls would probably be even bolder.]

[Ino was furious that her drawer was full of love letters every day, so she camped out in Naruto's seat every day.]

Today's class was still boring, but Naruto noticed that something was off about the atmosphere in the village lately, so he decided to send his main body to school anyway.

However, I still created a shadow clone and had it cultivate in the back mountain.

He plans to continue meditating at school.

Once my mental energy is sufficient, I will actively enter the mental world again to see that wretched fox.

Today's class was not much different from usual.

[The lessons are still focused on lip reading, reasoning, and other cultural subjects.]

But Iruka suddenly announced during break that there would be a surprise test that day.

[We need to practice both throwing techniques and simulated combat.]

As expected, with such a tight schedule, the show went overtime, which is unusual for us.

Naruto felt increasingly uneasy.

[Because, starting from noon, many eyes had begun to watch over them from around the ninja academy.]

That familiar feeling is back.

Naruto frowned.

Why did you suddenly come back to spy on me?

"No...this number...it seems they're not just monitoring me."

Naruto glanced at Sasuke, who was arguing with Kiba Inuzuka.

Sasuke, of course, was unaware of the gazes directed at him from outside the school.

"As expected, it's because of the Uchiha clan."

It's clear that Naruto has never forgotten the fox demon incident.

The fox demon incident is related to the Uchiha clan.

The strange atmosphere lately is inextricably linked to the Uchiha clan.

[Is it because of the Uchiha's bloodline limit... that I'm afraid the Uchiha will come after me, and then trigger another fox demon incident?]

[“And Sasuke too… even Sasuke is being monitored… does this involve the entire Uchiha clan or just the Uchiha high-ranking members?”]

Fugaku Uchiha: Thankfully... I still left myself an escape route.

Tobirama Senju: Is one man and one woman already your limit?

Uchiha Izuna: Useless!

Onoki: "Chief Fugaku must have had his share of troubles."

Mei Terumi: "Yes, it's clear that there are almost no ones willing to back down. That Uchiha girl was probably forced into it."

Mikoto Uchiha: "I hope Naruto with black frames can help the last bloodline of the Uchiha clan for Sasuke's sake and for the past few years."

Madara Uchiha: Hmph! He's putting his hopes on others again.

The two Uchiha elders started arguing.

Fugaku Uchiha naturally dared not refute.

But Uchiha Mikoto is different.

She has Kushina by her side.

then.

Just as Uchiha Izuna was getting into his rant, Uchiha Madara stepped in to support his younger brother.

In the Pure Land world, Uchiha Mikoto took a deep breath, looked at her best friend who kept encouraging her, gave a wry smile, but still spoke up.

Mikoto Uchiha: "The clan's records show that when Madara Uchiha left the village, he did so openly and even seemed ready to fight Konoha."

Madara Uchiha: So what if it is?

Mikoto Uchiha: "Many of my clansmen have long been prepared to leave with you."

Uchiha Mikoto: "But some people refused to come along. In order to prevent the remaining clansmen from being targeted and killed by Konoha after they left, it was natural to choose to leave quietly first."

Uchiha Mikoto: "But they know that the Patriarch would never agree to escape like a rat, so they plan to contact you well before you leave the village and then meet you outside Konoha."

Uchiha Mikoto: "I never imagined that not only did the patriarch leave openly, but he didn't even read the secret letter left on the table. In the end, after those radical clansmen left the village, they didn't even see your shadow, meaning they couldn't catch up with you at all."

Madara Uchiha: "..."

Uchiha Izuna: "..."

Hashirama Senju: Hahaha~

Uchiha Madara: Shut up!

As Naruto was pondering, Shikamaru suddenly appeared in front of him.

"Naruto, don't get involved in the Uchiha matters."

Not only Shikamaru, but also Choji, Ino, and Hinata came.

Clearly, they know something.

"I understand." Naruto narrowed his eyes slightly; this matter seemed to be beyond his expectations.

[Could it be... that the Uchiha are dissatisfied with the status quo and want to overthrow the old man's rule?]

【Yes, that's the most likely possibility!】

"I can't believe I didn't grasp it immediately... What a pity, I wasted an opportunity to severely damage this bandit village."

Orochimaru: "Hahaha~"

Orochimaru: "If only I could hear my own thoughts in the black-framed world right now."

Orochimaru: "As long as I say I'm going to launch the Konoha Crush Plan, Naruto with black frames will definitely come looking for me!"

As he spoke, Orochimaru's face turned completely red.

Clearly, he had already imagined that scene and couldn't help but feel excited.

Its long tongue couldn't help but stick out, licking its dry lips.

On the Konoha side, upon hearing Naruto's inner thoughts in black, everyone felt a chill run down their spines.

Yes, Naruto with the black-rimmed glasses may seem indifferent, but he actually remembers it very clearly in his heart.

"Students, please be careful on your way home."

Iruka looked at the listless students with a hint of helplessness.

He received the order suddenly this morning; it wasn't something he could decide.

However, such orders do come occasionally, but they are tough on the students.

"Goodbye, teacher!"

[As soon as I heard I could go home after school.]

The students, who had been listless, immediately sat up straight, their eyes shining.

That mental state made Iruka's eye twitch.

Iruka breathed a sigh of relief as he watched the students leave one by one.

Thankfully... thankfully no one asked me any questions today.

Iruka touched his head, wiping away imaginary cold sweat.

Suddenly, he noticed a small tuft of hair in his hand.

Iruka: "..."

【broken!】

[To answer Naruto's question.]

[Studying day and night, researching all night... years of savings gone, and my hair is starting to fall out?!]

[Iruka: No!!!]

Naruto Uzumaki: "Hahaha~"

Naruto Uzumaki: "Poor Iruka-sensei~!"

Iruka Umino: "Naruto, I'll treat you to ramen later."

Naruto Uzumaki: "Really?! That's great!"
