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

"A hot-blooded idiot who keeps talking about becoming Hokage, but is always late for the start and graduation of school."

Kakashi looked at the sky, his tone filled with nostalgia and self-reproach.

"He is an excellent ninja."

"This eye is the best gift."

Erzhuzi's brows were furrowed deeply.

"Always talking about becoming Hokage?"

"Can you be late for both the start of school and graduation?"

"Kakashi, are you sure you're talking about the Uchiha?"

"Besides, shouldn't you be referring to yourself as being late?"

Sasuke expressed doubt about Obito, whom Kakashi had mentioned.

Naruto laughed, saying that all the Uchiha were full of bromance, except for Obito, who was only after women.

"Yeah, Kakashi-sensei, you're always late. Are you sure you're not mistaken? The Uchiha... shouldn't be that bad, right?" Sakura also doubted the truthfulness of Kakashi's words.

Although there may be exceptions, the word "late" is too easily recognizable.

"Well, that's how it is. That guy has always been late since he was a child. I didn't believe it before, but then I found out that every time he came, he would run into some old ladies and gentlemen who needed his help."

"In short, that guy definitely doesn't seem to be a member of the Uchiha clan."

Naruto frowned. Could it be that those old men and women were all White Zetsu disguised using a disguise technique?

The goal was to find a successor for Madara within the Uchiha clan.

Moreover, Obito is both a bit dim-witted and emotionally rich... making him a suitable candidate indeed.

Dazner scratched his head, unable to get a word in edgewise.

Seeing that he had rested enough, Naruto stood up.

"Then, Sasuke, you can carry Kakashi from now on."

"The Sharingan isn't a panacea; your special training needs to continue."

"Sakura, I'll switch with you."

"No, I don't want to carry Kakashi-sensei on my back! Besides, men and women shouldn't touch each other!"

"this......"

Erzhuzi practically wore his disdain on his face.

In the end, Tazuna raised his hand, "I'll do it. I haven't done much along the way, so I feel a bit bad."

In the end, Kakashi was carried on Tazuna's back.

Erzhuzi led the way at the very front.

Naruto's task for him was very simple.

It means that it can still adapt to high-speed movement without using the Sharingan.

This was of great help to him after he awakened his Sharingan.

So, Erzhuzi agreed without hesitation.

While clearing the way, they darted left and right, making sure the road was spotless.

At first it was fine, but after a few kilometers, Erzhuzi was panting heavily.

In the end, Naruto said it again: the Shadow Clone Technique works the same way.

He didn't have to fall down after Kakashi in an embarrassing way.

Upon arriving at Tazuna's house, the first thing they did was to put Kakashi down.

"Kakashi-sensei, are you sure you can handle this?"

No wonder Sakura was disgusted.

After all, first impressions are very important.

In addition, during the two months they spent together, Kakashi was unreliable every single time.

Tazna, too, touched his nose as he went to prepare the bedding.

Back in the Hokage's office, he did say that the white-haired kid seemed more reliable.

"I think I'll need to rest for a few days."

The consequence of forcibly using Kamui is that you have to lie down for a few days.

If it weren't for that little bit of face he had to give as a mentor to a Jonin.

We'll just wait for Sakura to kill us, and naturally, we won't have to rest for a week due to overuse of the Sharingan as in the original story.

"If it works, it works; if it doesn't, it doesn't. What do you mean by taking a few days off?"

Sakura rolled her eyes.

Kakashi couldn't move on the way, so she was the one who fed him.

Surprisingly, even though Kakashi was lying down, his appetite wasn't affected, and he ate a lot!

When Sakura picked up her luggage, Little Pearl almost fell off.

Dazner gave an awkward smile.

"Haha, now that's all settled, those troublesome ninjas have been dealt with, I can finally relax."

"The bridge construction won't take too long, so don't worry about wasting time."

"Have all the ninjas been dealt with?" At that moment, a young woman walked in from outside.

The visitor was none other than Tazuna's daughter, Tsunami.

She looked at Kakashi, who was lying on the ground unable to move, and then glanced at her three lively children.

"Thank you for protecting my father and bringing him back."

Clearly, she had overheard Sakura's complaints while she was outside.

He even gave Kakashi a special thank you for this.

Kakashi was a little embarrassed by what he said.

Actually, he didn't put in much effort.

Sakura was the one who was randomly beating people up the whole time.

Erzhuzi came out and showed off a couple of times.

"But, Kado..."

"Don't worry, Kado is in trouble himself now."

"Huh? How could Kado possibly be in trouble?"

Tsunami was very surprised.

"His enemies have come knocking, so he probably won't bother you anymore."

"this......"

Tsuna looked at her father.

Tazuna nodded. "It's alright, but Tsunami, don't go around telling everyone about this."

Dazner is quite perceptive.

"Okay, I got it... I bet everyone hasn't eaten yet, I'll go prepare it."

Tsunami felt it was all a bit unreal, after all, Gato was like a local tyrant in the Land of Waves.

But since her father had said so, she had no choice but to believe him.

"Then, the next task is quite simple."

Naruto glanced at Kakashi, then looked at Sasuke and Sakura.

"Dazuna is going to build a bridge, and the two of you will take turns going with him."

"Sasuke, your patience still needs to be honed. Create a shadow clone to help Tazuna and learn bridge-building techniques from him."

"Sakura, you should do the same. When it's your turn to protect Tazuna, just pick out the hard work."

"Also, you are not allowed to use superhuman strength. Use your natural strength for special training."

"You can decide your own rest time."

"By the way, Kakashi-sensei, meditation doesn't seem to require any movement, and your chakra..."

Before Naruto could finish speaking, Kakashi replied helplessly:

"I understand, Naruto-sensei. I will complete the special training."

"You don't need to hide your Sharingan normally. Try to get your body used to having your Sharingan constantly active and in use."

"Yes, yes, Sakura, you know that activating my Sharingan consumes..."

"No, these are for the three of us! Teacher, you brought your own food too!"

"Haha, it's alright, it's alright. Although the Land of Waves is poor, we can still make sure you have enough to eat, Kakashi."

Dazner added a timely comment.

Erzhuzi sat to the side and glanced at the pink-haired girl who was guarding her food.

"How...how did this guy do that?"

Sasuke had just awakened his Sharingan, but he knew that the effect he achieved was nowhere near as powerful as Sakura's.

The pressure is back to its maximum.

Especially knowing that Sakura will continue to train hard in the days to come.

He felt that time was becoming increasingly urgent.

No!

It's one thing to be unable to surpass Naruto, but it's unacceptable to be unable to surpass Sakura as well!

"Tazuna, when are we going to build the bridge!"

Tazner was stunned; he had only been sitting down for a few minutes.

"Yes, Mr. Tazuna, I'm very strong, I can help!"

Sakura waved her little pink fist and asked the question herself.

"Sakura, I'll go first today."

"But...Sasuke, I'm feeling great and don't need to rest. Should I go first?"

???

Did she reject me?

"Let's go together then."

"Haste makes waste. You can discuss who goes first and who goes last later. Also, your main task is to protect Tazuna."

"Yes, yes! Naruto-kun is right. Sasuke, you go ahead. I'll try out the Healing Palm Technique that I just learned recently."

Sakura immediately changed her attitude and then came to Kakashi's side with a look of disgust.

"Kakashi-sensei, you must be having a tough time right now, right?"

"Let me take a look and see what the problem is."

Kakashi was terrified, especially when Sakura reached out her hand. He kept seeing the image of Zabuza's clone being blown up in his mind.

"Cough cough, Sakura, I'm just feeling weak. I'll be fine after a few days of rest. I'm not injured."

"Hiss... Kakashi-sensei, your body is way too weak!"

Sakura withdrew her Healing Palm Technique, her eyes looking somewhat strange.

Kakashi's face instantly turned red, but he was also very nervous. Could it be... that there really is a problem?

Ultimately, he fainted due to the overwhelming pressure of his blood and qi.

Sakura then ran out with a grin.

"I'm going to go find some fish to practice with."

Kakashi secretly opened his eyes after Sakura left.

He sighed and began to meditate.

"Let's go, Tazuna. I'll be in charge of protecting you today."

"Let's eat first."

"Dazner quickly said."

Sakura returned during dinner, bringing several large fish with her.

"It's no use!"

Just then, a little devil appeared at the door.

"Inari, where did you go?"

"Come and sit down quickly. These are the ninjas who are protecting your grandfather."

"it's useless."

The little devil ran to Dazna's side, hugged his grandfather, and said something to Erzhuzi.

Tsunami frowned and scolded:

"Inari, that's incredibly rude!"

"But...Mom, they'll be killed by Kado."

"If we disobey Kado's orders, he will surely kill us."

It's not feasible to explain now. We'll wait a few days until Kurama finds out all of Gato's assets before taking action.

"Alright, let's eat first."

Tazuna patted his grandson's head and gave Naruto and the other two an apologetic smile.

The events unfolded much like in the original story.

The difference lies in the fact that these wandering ninjas were dealt with by Sasuke and Sakura.

No stronger being appeared, and Kado's orders have not been issued.

The bridge construction project also started smoothly.

With the help of Sasuke and Sakura, the speed increased by more than double.

A few days later.

Naruto was meditating while fishing.

Bai suddenly appeared behind him.

She was not wearing a mask, and her attire was becoming increasingly feminine.

"Lord Naruto, Gato is dead, and all his assets have been taken away by Lord Kurama."

"Well, then you should follow Kurama for now. He's short-handed, so it'll be easier for you to replenish your chakra if you stay with him."

"Also, take care of those wandering ninjas. Keep a few of them around, not too bad, and let them spread the news that Gato is dead."

"Just say that Gato was assassinated by his wandering ninja subordinates, and his assets were all swallowed up."

"Isn't this... a bit too obvious?"

What I really wanted to tell Naruto was that there was no need for such an unnecessary step.

"The necessary procedures still need to be followed. By the time they find out about Kado's asset transactions, you will have already disappeared."

"Although it's a low-level sleight of hand, it's still quite effective when used at this time."

"Go ahead, the faster the news spreads, the more bridge builders there will be."

"yes!"

After Bai respectfully agreed, he used a teleportation technique to leave.

Nine-Tails is already swimming in a sea of ​​money.

Compared to Gato's wealth, the Uchiha clan's money is insignificant; there's no comparison whatsoever.

......

Half a day later, there was movement in the Land of Waves.

The news quickly reached this place.

"Mom! Kado is dead!"

"Inari, what did you say?"

"It's true! Gato was assassinated by one of his own ninjas!"

"Very good!"

"Finally, my father's revenge has been achieved!"

The mother and son hugged each other and cried bitterly.

On the bridge, a large group of workers cheered loudly, laughing and then crying.

A few days later.

Two pillars stood beside Naruto.

"Naruto, please, I really want to become stronger!"

Naruto didn't even need to look to know that this kid had probably been provoked by Sakura again.

"If I can't even surpass Sakura... then what am I supposed to use to get revenge on that man..."

"I don't know what to do... I've already learned Chidori, but this ninjutsu won't hit him!"

Seeing that Naruto did not respond during the day, Sasuke looked up and saw a huge rock that had appeared in front of him at some point.

"Go, carry this stone, circle the Land of Waves once, and then come back."

"I'm only giving you three days."

"It's done. I will now teach you the nature transformation of Lightning Release chakra."

As he spoke, Naruto raised his hand.

Shila-

The next instant, Chidori appeared in Naruto's hand.

After a series of cries, several lightning snakes shot out and bit into the tree trunk next to Erzhuzi.

It pierced through the tree trunk in an instant.

Looking at the Chidori in Naruto's hand, Erzhuzi felt that although they were the same, Naruto's Chidori was more than twice as powerful as his.

"call--"

"I see!"

As Sasuke was about to leave, Naruto added another sentence.

"Let Kakashi sit on it."

Erzhuzi's face instantly turned ugly.

"You supervise his meditation, and also teach him the first three gates of the Eight Gates Formation."

"You've awakened the Sharingan; you can start learning."

"The Eight Gates Formation?"

Erzhuzi didn't understand, but it seemed pretty impressive, so he accepted letting Kakashi sit on the rock.

Soon after, Sakura arrived.

"Naruto-kun, I need to become stronger too! I can't let Sasuke surpass me!"

"Sakura...Sakura will definitely seize the future~!"

Naruto: "..."

What a roll!

However, it's time to develop the power of one's bloodline.

My body has been resting and recuperating during this period, all in order to unleash the power of my bloodline at once.

The Vortex Clan's Vajra Lock and Kagura's Mind's Eye.

Is the Diamond Lockdown powerful?

Even when Kushina was low on health, she could make Kurama obediently lie on the ground and not move.

Not to mention how miserable Kurama was in the sealing space when Kushina was still a Jinchūriki.

This alone is enough to demonstrate how pure Kushina's bloodline is.

Namikaze?

It doesn't seem to be some kind of powerful ninja clan, does it?

Naruto's hair is blonde, just like Minato's.

Actually, calling him Senju Naruto isn't entirely out of the question.

Otherwise, how could Naruto be the reincarnation of Ashura?

This seems to provide a reasonable explanation.

"If it's the Vajra Lock, we'll try it with Kurama later."
