Konoha: I, Naruto, will eat the Forest-Forest Fruit!

"Hiss...whoosh~"

Hiruzen Sarutobi didn't speak, but just looked down at the information that Naruto and the other two had just submitted.

He stared at Naruto in the photo for a moment, lost in thought.

Minato... this child is just like you, possessing amazing talent, and most importantly, he has inherited my Will of Fire.

If Naruto were to test his chakra attributes soon, he would be able to possess five attributes.

Thinking of this, Renkuang exhaled a puff of welding smoke.

That means you have truly received my complete teachings.

Want to become Hokage? ...Not yet.

Perhaps it would be better to let him assist Asuma first, but the Ino-Shika-Cho trio's position is too important.

"Hiruzen, say something!"

Seeing that Hiruzen Sarutobi completely ignored him.

Danzo Shimura couldn't take it anymore and was the first to give in.

He slammed his hand on the table, knocking Hiruzen Sarutobi's cigarette to the ground.

"Danzo, remember this: I am the Hokage. Are you trying to teach me how to do things?"

ga-

Danzo's face instantly darkened, as if he had swallowed a fly.

But we must fight for this!

"Hiruzen, could it be that you...?"

"I said, I am the Hokage."

"Also, keep your roots in line and don't go too far."

Hiruzen Sarutobi narrowed his eyes, not having been this serious with his best friend in a long time.

"Hmph, you'll regret this, Hiruzen!"

Danzo knew that there was no way this matter could be resolved.

"Pick up the cigarette! Pick up the cigarette!"

He shouted to the Root ninja beside him.

Then, he glared at Hiruzen Sarutobi, turned around and left.

......

the other side.

Naruto arrived at the supply storage point.

He reached out and placed his hand on Mikoto and Izumi in front of him.

"You've taken so much of my nourishment, it's time for you to give back to me."

"Little by little, it adds up... Although the improvement may not be significant, it's better to have more nutrients than less, otherwise it would be embarrassing to fall just short."

Naruto has been doing this for the past few years.

I'm already very familiar with it.

"Hmm~"

Just as his roots were drawing nourishment deeper into the earth, Uchiha Mikoto suddenly spoke.

At the same time, the much younger-looking face suddenly moved.

This startled Naruto, who was used to everything here.

"Is he waking up?"

"That shouldn't be... Have I been using too much lately?"

He shook his head, not caring about it anymore.

"If you're awake, you're awake. You should still take your breath."

After absorbing some of the nutrients from Uchiha Mikoto's body.

Then Uchiha Mikoto's red lips turned somewhat pale.

Feeling that it was about time, Naruto changed his target to Uchiha Izumi.

These two are quite talented.

Despite her seemingly virtuous and loving wife appearance, Uchiha Mikoto is actually a powerful Jonin.

Uchiha Izumi awakened the three-tomoe Sharingan at this age, so her strength is naturally beyond question.

Over the years, Naruto even felt that Mikoto Uchiha had provided at least six times the nourishment of Fugaku.

Uchiha Izumi provided less, only about the amount of nutrients needed for three Fugaku.

Suddenly, he noticed that Uchiha Izumi's long eyelashes were trembling slightly.

He frowned and immediately pinched her cheek.

But even after he pinched Quan's cheeks until they turned red, there was still no other reaction.

"Judging from the current situation, it will take at least two and a half years for him to wake up, which should be enough."

After replenishing them with some nutrients, Naruto used the Mayfly Technique to leave.

Shortly after he left, Mikoto and Izumi's faces, nourished by the nutrients, turned red at a visible speed.

The throat made strange noises.

It's like some kind of communication method.

......

"Wow!"

"Hinata, how come you always manage to catch such big fish?"

Ino let out a wail.

I glanced at my catch: a single piece of seaweed.

Just look at Hinata... she's already taken up Tenten's fish basket.

Shikamaru lay on the ground with an unknown blade of grass in his mouth.

"Fishing requires patience; there's no need to make things so complicated, just wait."

thump--

Choji suddenly fell into the water.

The next instant, Shikamaru jumped into the water like a cat seeing a fish.

Seeing the fish they were holding, Ino felt like crying but had no tears left.

He could only run to Naruto's side.

"Darling~"

"Can I do it?"

"for you."

Naruto chuckled and handed her the fishing rod.

The bobbing float, which had been bobbing up and down, instantly became still.

"It's time to start a fire and cook."

To avoid embarrassing her, Naruto said something.

Unexpectedly, before he could make any move...

Ino darted past him with a "whoosh".

Then, he punched a boulder.

Rumbling--

In an instant, the boulder shattered into pieces.

"Leave the makeshift stove to me!"

Ino turned her head, a sweet smile on her lips.

"Your mastery of superhuman strength is good, but your chakra control could be a bit more refined."

Xiao Li, who was doing push-ups, stopped.

He glanced warily at Ino, who was sweetly smiling and acting coquettishly towards Naruto.

"Neji, can you withstand Ino's punch?"

"I can't handle it. Last time I got a broken rib from a punch, but luckily Naruto healed me."

Neji, emerging from his meditation, let out a cold snort.

"You can handle it now."

"Go and deliver another youth battle suit to Naruto."

Xiao Li: "..."

"By the way, Neji, train according to Naruto's method... I can already use the Shadow Clone Technique, and your Gentle Fist is becoming less and less of a threat to me!"

Neji glanced at his clone lying crookedly on the ground, then closed his eyes and continued meditating.

The days passed quickly.

The day for class assignments finally arrived.

After washing up, Naruto put on his headband and prepared the basic ninja tools in his ninja tool bag.

After thinking for a moment, he tied a bulging ninja tool pouch to his thigh.

"The contents of this ninja tool pouch should come in handy."

"I'm already richer than a country... If I swallow up Gato's money in the future... it will be more than enough to rebuild the Land of Whirlpools."

Wearing a headband, he opened the door, immediately met with Ino's objection.

Hinata's eyes lit up.

Throughout the journey, Ino held Hinata's hand, looking sullen.

Naruto didn't seem to have any particular thoughts.

For Class 7, the advantage of being ahead of the curve still exists.

Once in the classroom, a scene suddenly flashed into Naruto's mind.

Then she rolled her eyes.

No need, really no need.

Let's hope that the famous scene of class division doesn't happen again.

He is now Naruto Uzumaki.

There's no need to even think about the iconic scenes with Erzhuzi.

As soon as Naruto and his friends entered, they immediately attracted the attention of the entire class.

Including the two pillars.

Erzhuzi glanced at Naruto.

Suddenly, I felt a chill run down my spine for no apparent reason.

"cut!"

He snorted inwardly.

"What's wrong, Sasuke-kun?"

Pinky, who was sitting not far from Erzhuzi, asked a question.

Seeing that Erzhuzi ignored her, she didn't care.

She herself didn't even realize it.

Because unlike in the original story, he didn't compete with Ino for it, nor did he fall out with Ino.

Her attention was somewhat diverted by Ino, the big sister in her heart.

In addition, he has been treated coldly by Erzhuzi for the past few years.

Turning around, I saw Ino snuggling up to Naruto.

It's impossible to say there were no other emotions.

Especially afterwards, Ino still treated her like an older sister.

But the pink-haired girl knew that the love that originally belonged to her had been taken away by Hinata.

Even someone whose status far surpasses her own.

There is no harm without comparison.

She glanced at the group of infatuated girls surrounding Erzhuzi.

"A bit silly."

???

The words that came out of her mouth stunned her for a long time.

"Class, please be quiet."

Iruka arrived right on time.

"From today onwards, everyone is a ninja."

"However, you are all just genin, and newcomers at that, so you lack experience in many things."

"The village has assigned you Jonin instructors. From now on, missions will be conducted in groups of three, led by the Jonin instructors..."

Iruka spoke on the podium for quite a while.

Only then did they take out the roster.

Read out each class one by one according to the assigned classes.

"First shift..."

"Team 7: Naruto Uzumaki, Sasuke Uchiha, and Sakura Haruno!"

Pink-haired girl froze, and didn't stand up to cheer.

He turned around and glanced at Ino with some concern.

Ino was also taken aback for a moment, and then their eyes met.

After Ino smiled and mouthed a few words, she heard Hinata's name.

"Yay, Sakura, you're paired with Sasuke now! Congratulations!"

Also, keep an eye on Naruto for me, and don't let any other women get close to him when we're on missions.

Pink-haired girl: "......"

"snort."

Erzhuzi pressed his hands against his upper lip, gave a cold snort, and continued to act aloof.

"Team 8: Hinata Hyuga, Kiba Inuzuka, and Shino Aburame."

"..."

"Team 10: Nara Shikamaru, Akimichi Choji, Yamanaka Ino."

......

"No surprises."

Ino sighed helplessly.

"It's alright, Ino. Go see Naruto-kun when you're resting."

Hinata herself was also in a low mood, but she still turned to comfort Ino.

This made Ino unable to resist hugging her and rubbing her roughly again.

"Alright, students, wait here for a moment. Your instructors will be here soon to take you away."

After saying that, Iruka glanced at everyone again, then turned and left.

Not long after, the instructor, a Jonin, arrived.

"I'm leaving now, Naruto."

Ino hugged Naruto before reluctantly following Shikamaru and Choji away.

Asma took a drag of his cigarette, smiled, and said, "Let's go."

The three of them rolled their eyes in unison.

Asuma was a little confused, but she still left with the Ino-Shika-Cho trio according to the procedure.

"Well then, Class 8, it's time for us to go too."

Just then, a beautiful figure appeared at the door.

"Red~"

"Um."

Kurenai Yuhi simply nodded faintly.

"Yoshi!"

"It's our turn, Class 8!"

"Hahaha, I can really show off my skills now that I've become a ninja!"

Kiba Inuzuka let out an excited howl.

Shino Aburame stood up, put her hands in her pockets, and followed Kiba toward Kurenai Yuhi.

"Naruto-kun... I... I'll go now."

"Okay, if you're hungry, buy yourself some food. If you don't have any money, come to me for some. You have a big appetite, so don't go hungry..."

Hinata immediately covered Naruto's mouth.

"Don't... say any more."

Hinata immediately transforms into a steam princess.

I'm used to being at home, so I'm not that shy.

But in class, she would still occasionally transform into a steampunk princess.

"Hehe, what an impressive child, already surrounded by women at such a young age."

Hinata blushed and approached Kurenai Yuhi.

After being teased by Kurenai Yuhi, he was practically fuming.

However, she quickly choked on her words.

Her beautiful eyes were fixed on Naruto's face.

Minato-sensei?

"Teacher, we should go now!"

Kiba Inuzuka reminded her, and Kurenai Yuhi realized her lapse in composure.

Before leaving, he took a deep look at Naruto.

"It's so similar. Maybe Minato-sensei looked like this when he was a child. He was such a handsome kid."

What followed was a long wait.

Naruto immediately began meditating.

Impatientness quickly appeared on Erzhuzi's cold face.

Pink-haired girl: ︿(￣︶￣)︿

Both of them are very pleasing to the eye.

It's not boring at all.

With Ino not around, she dared to secretly look at Naruto seriously for the first time.

The guilt made her feel ashamed, but...

About an hour later.

The classroom door was pushed open.

The white-haired prince, holding the little prince in his hands, finally appeared.

"I'm sorry, I've gotten lost on the road of life."
