Naruto: I, Naruto, started with the Rinnegan

Iruka walked into the classroom and saw that the two students who had been absent for a week had finally arrived. He breathed a sigh of relief; it was good that they were alright.

only……

Noticing Sasuke's cold and indifferent attitude, Iruka felt a pang of heartache. Such a good boy, sigh...

He secretly decided that he must talk to Sasuke; he couldn't keep dwelling on hatred.

……

"get out of class dismissed... Sasuke, come out with me for a moment."

Sasuke stood up, frowned, and followed Iruka out of the classroom.

"What could Iruka-sensei possibly want with Sasuke...?"

It concerns Sasuke... The girls in the class were quite curious.

They hid at the classroom door and peeked out.

The boy pursed his lips and remained silent.

Naruto sat down next to Hinata and asked, "Is there something you want to tell me?"

During class, Hinata kept stealing glances at Naruto, and unlike her usual shyness, this time... Hinata was looking at Naruto with a wronged, upset, and tearful expression.

It made my white eyes turn red.

"I...I don't know."

Hinata lowered her head, feeling wronged.

For some reason, her father suddenly told her a few days ago not to get too close to Naruto.

She didn't want to agree, but she didn't dare disobey her father.

I'm torn!

"Don't be afraid, Hinata, I'm here. You can tell me anything..."

—The Beauty Tactic!

Naruto held Hinata's soft little hand, a sunny smile spreading across his innocent face.

"Naruto-kun..."

Sunlight pierced the darkness and shone into Hinata's heart.

She slowly raised her head, looked at Naruto's face, and suddenly felt her body filled with courage—her father and such didn't matter for now.

"Oh, your father told you to keep your distance from me..."

After listening to Hinata's words, Naruto released his grip on Hinata's hands and fell into deep thought.

On the night of the Uchiha massacre, his biggest fear was that a Byakugan ninja would appear and see through his disguise.

Judging from Konoha's reaction and Hinata's words...

Hyuga must have discovered something, but for some reason, he didn't tell Konoha. He just told Hinata to stay away from him, which was good news and dispelled his last bit of concern...

Hinata looked lost as her hands were released. Seeing Naruto deep in thought and silent, she assumed he was worried about their future relationship.

Hinata mustered her courage and said firmly, "Naruto-kun, Father is wrong. I will not leave Naruto-kun."

Stop joking around, making it sound like a melodrama.

Naruto twitched the corner of his mouth: "Thanks, but no one asked you to leave. Your father only told you to keep your distance from me, not that we can't be friends. And friends... we always have been. It was like this before, and it is like this now. Don't overthink it."

Even though Hinata is a seven or eight-year-old girl and the official wife in the original work, Naruto doesn't have much interest in her.

After all, as human beings, we shouldn't be too beastly.

……

"You understand? What do you understand? You understand absolutely nothing! You couldn't possibly understand my pain without experiencing it firsthand..."

Sasuke's angry roar echoed down the corridor; it seemed his negotiations with Iruka had broken down.

"Hurry, hurry, Sasuke is back!"

The girls hiding behind the classroom door quickly dispersed and returned to their seats.

Some chatted, some did their makeup, all pretending not to be peeking.

However, it was all in vain, as Sasuke had already noticed them.

With a cold snort, Sasuke ignored him and returned to his seat.

Just then, the school bell rang, and Iruka stepped into the classroom, glancing wearily at Sasuke.

This kid... is even more difficult to deal with than Naruto.

"Class is now in session."

……

Sealed space.

Naruto didn't have to wait long before the shadow, using the Rinnegan's Illusionary Body Technique, projected itself into the sealed space.

"I have mastered the original abilities of that body: the Three Body Techniques, Fire Release, Lightning Release, Sharingan, Genjutsu, plus some of the Rinnegan's abilities..."

Looking at Naruto, Kage said seriously, "I believe I am strong enough to protect myself. May I leave the mountain now?"

"Hmm...that's fine."

A father worries when his daughter travels far. As the creator of the Kage and, in a sense, a father, Naruto was very worried that the Kage might encounter danger while traveling in the ninja world.

So I suggested she spend some time in the mountains to familiarize herself with her abilities.

At the same time, Naruto also made her come to the sealed space every day to receive his life experience, so that she wouldn't get ambushed after only a few steps.

"Please be extremely careful. The ninjas of this world are very treacherous, especially those I specifically marked for you. Don't believe a single word they say when you encounter them..."

After rambling on and on, Naruto looked at the drowsy Kurama beside him.

"Kurama, with your thousand years of experience in the ninja world, is there anything you'd like to tell the Kage?"

"Hmm..." Nine-Tails opened its eyes, yawning, and said, "Don't trust humans, humans are all a despicable and shameless bunch..."

"Hey, Kurama, I'm still here," Naruto reminded him, sounding annoyed.

Nine-Tailed Fox squinted: "Am I wrong?"

"No, you should say most of humanity besides me."

……

On a deserted hill in the Land of Fire, the shadowy figure, sitting cross-legged, opened his eyes, his heart filled with excitement.

We can finally go down the mountain!

The general's voice echoed in Ying's mind.

"Have you decided what to do next?"

The Shadow said confidently, "Of course I've thought it through. I want to rebuild Inazuma in the ninja world so that Naruto can come and live in Inazuma after he leaves Konoha."

The general pondered for a moment and said, "I fully support your decision."

Inazuma...an important component of the Eternal Way.

Ying said with satisfaction, "Alright, since you agree, let's begin now."

The first step in rebuilding Inazuma is to travel the ninja world and find a suitable country to attack.

After the shadow left the sealed space, Naruto greeted Kurama and prepared to leave as well.

"Wait, Naruto, I have something I want to tell you."

Naruto turned his head and asked, "What is it?"

Kurama sat up, a hint of hesitation flashing in his eyes. "Naruto, are we friends?"

"Of course!"

Naruto was absolutely certain.

"Have you missed your parents all these years?"

"Occasionally, since I've never seen it before."

"If I told you... I killed your parents, would you still want to be my friend?"

Naruto fell silent, looking up at Kurama without saying a word.

Kurama, however, seemed to have gone all out. Although she was uneasy, she told Naruto everything that had happened back then.

Masked Man, Nine-Tails' Chaos, Fourth Hokage, Kushina Uzumaki...

Finally, Kurama concluded, "Although I was being controlled and had no choice in the matter, I bear some responsibility for your parents' deaths... So whether you forgive me or not, I can accept it."

That being said, if Naruto doesn't forgive him, Kurama will probably be in a lot of pain.

In fact, Kurama felt that he had done nothing wrong, because as Kurama said, he was forced and he was also a victim.
