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

"Naruto-kun, I'm going to do my special training now~"

Sakura's voice was very strained.

"Okay, go ahead."

After getting rid of the pink-haired girl, Naruto entered a meditative state.

At the same time, a white, unique wooden clone appeared behind him.

"Let's see if anything's happening in the Land of Waves."

After receiving the order, the wooden clone disappeared into the ground.

"You're really good at holding back... But I haven't done anything particularly special either, so it's normal that Guoying has been able to hold back until now."

Naruto then regained his composure and focused all his attention on himself.

Before long, he found a ball of light red chakra at the Baihui acupoint.

Try touching it with your own chakra.

The discovery failed to shake the pale red chakra.

"That's right, in the original story, I couldn't awaken my true self even in the later stages... So, Sensen's power, absorb it!"

As the absorption ability of the Mori-Mori Fruit is activated.

The pale red chakra cluster at the Baihui acupoint was gradually eroded.

boom--!!!

The next instant, the body absorbed the nutrients of the pale red chakra, and a loud bang was heard from its body.

At the same time, Naruto opened his eyes.

There was no change in appearance whatsoever.

But his perception has far surpassed his previous level.

This is not the bloodline limit of the Uzumaki clan.

However, in terms of ability and rarity, it surpasses many bloodline limits.

Kagura's Mind's Eye and the Vajra Sealing Technique are both secret techniques of the Uzumaki clan.

A secret technique that one learns naturally after awakening the power of their bloodline.

It cannot be taught.

Kagura's Mind's Eye is one of the top sensory ninjutsu in the ninja world.

With an extremely wide range of enemy detection techniques, once the Mind's Eye is activated, any anomalies within a radius of tens of kilometers can be sensed using chakra.

In addition, there is the ability to sense known chakra, even down to its exact location.

The number of people, their physical characteristics, and their movement speed can all be tracked in detail.

In an instant, Naruto's world changed.

Especially after fusing the power of the Forest Fruit.

Within a radius of tens of kilometers, he could sense every rustle of grass and every whisper of wind.

He can sense those who possess chakra.

He could sense even those without chakra.

The plants would even tip him off.

In other words, if Naruto wants to run away, unless the opponent has mastered the Flying Thunder God Technique and is a sensory ninja of the same level, they will never be able to find Naruto's exact location.

In addition, the plant affinity brought by the power of the forest...

"Kagura's Mind's Eye... Not bad, a good skill for chasing down enemies."

"Then, next up is the Vajra Lockdown."

Naruto felt the burning chakra on his back.

The pale red chakra turns golden the moment it comes into contact with air.

"The experimental subjects are both far away and right in front of us."

hum-

The next instant, Naruto arrived inside the sealed space.

"Nine Lama!"

After waiting for a while, the Nine-Tails finally opened its eyes with a resentful expression.

"Get to the point!"

"Do you know I'm counting money?"

"If you have nothing else to say, don't blame me for being impolite!"

Facing the Nine-Tails, whose face was full of resentment, Naruto revealed a charming smile.

"Nine Lama, can I ask you for a favor?"

Nine-Tailed Fox immediately retracted its tail and glanced at him warily.

"You go first."

"Why are you so nervous? Would I harm you?"

"After all this time, don't you still trust me?"

Naruto lowered his head, his expression somewhat sorrowful, and turned away.

Nine-Tails was stunned.

Is the intensity going up right from the start?

It tiptoed up behind Naruto and cautiously peeked out.

"Are you crying?"

"Oh, that's just how I am. How about you beat me up to vent your anger?"

Nine-Tails is truly panicked.

After all, Naruto has been working hard to bring it out all these years.

At least... that's what Kurama thinks.

"What you said... huh?"

Naruto asked, his voice trembling with tears and a hint of grievance.

"Hehe, tailed beasts don't feel pain, just don't go too far."

"Um."

Naruto laughed, and Kurama laughed too. Then Kurama clung to him, and finally roared.

Rumbling--

Naruto closed his eyes, and with a thought, the scorching chakra in his back erupted instantly.

Nine Vajra chains shot out from behind, instantly binding the massive body of the Nine-Tailed Fox.

With just a gentle push.

Snap!

"Aww~!"

The Nine-Tails' screams echoed throughout the sealed space.

That familiar power...it's Kushina?!

Nine-Tails instinctively felt a sense of fear.

Under the Vajra Lock, he struggled to even move.

All of his chakra was locked inside his body.

Even just maintaining a standing posture is already a huge effort.

Do not!

No... this chain... is even stronger than Kushina's!

Huh?

Why didn't I sense any malice from these Vajra chains?

It wasn't Kushina's remaining chakra?

Wait a minute!

But the next second, the Vajra Lock disappeared.

Looking down, he saw Naruto waving at him, "Kurama, you can go count your money now."

hum-

Naruto's spirit returned to reality.

Inside the sealed space, Nine-Tails was stunned for a few seconds.

Then came a deafening roar.

Fortunately, Naruto severed his connection with Kurama in time.

"Thank goodness, as expected of the Diamond Sealing Barrier, I didn't even have to use my full strength before the Nine-Tails obediently lay down."

"From now on, I won't even need to lift a finger to deal with the Tailed Beasts; I can imprison them all."

"Besides that... if I remember correctly, the Great Buddha can also be sealed with the Vajra Lock."

"Similarly... it seems that Susanoo is not impossible to seal off."

Naruto was very satisfied with the Adamantine Sealing Technique within his body.

This move effectively turned into an interception system.

Infantry and tanks work together, paired with Kagura's Mind's Eye (precision strike) and Vajra Lockdown (precision interception).

the other side.

After the Nine-Tails returned to its body in the real world, it was still cursing and swearing.

"asshole!"

"Just you wait!"

Bai stood to the side with his head down, somewhat confused.

In his eyes, this self-proclaimed Nine-Tailed Nine-Tails Kurama closed his eyes for a while and then suddenly became irritable.

It was somewhat inexplicable, but I had a vague feeling that it was related to another adult.

"Give me the money!"

"yes!"

Bai hurriedly carried over another box of money.

Nine-Tails beamed with joy when he saw the money scattered all over the ground.

......

A month later.

The bridge has been completed.

Dazner's eye for talent remains sharp.

They named the bridge Naruto Bridge directly.

Naruto didn't refuse. That old rascal is really cunning. He placed his bet so early, so it's perfectly reasonable for him to ride the coattails of the hype later.

"Then, let's go back."

We came by waterway.

We took the bridge to go back.

The bridge connecting the Land of Waves and the Land of Fire has been completed.

Once transportation becomes convenient, trade can begin.

These are things Naruto doesn't need to deal with for the time being.

Let the bullets fly first.

While the bullets are flying, let the target do all the work for nothing.

They returned very quickly.

He returned to Konoha in just one day.

early morning.

Konoha's two gatekeepers, Izumo and Kotetsu, arrived at their workstations early.

"Yo Kakashi!"

Kakashi stayed behind to communicate with them, while Team 7 disbanded on the spot.

Zhu Zi chose to return to the Uchiha clan's territory first.

I haven't been back for a month; it's probably gathering dust by now.

Sakura also needs to go home first.

Naruto went to the dumpling shop first.

After discovering that Hongdou was missing, she went straight home.

They did a C-level task, and the other classes will definitely do it too.

With the Chunin Exams approaching, they've probably all left the village to do missions by now.

"Go home and get some sleep."

If you think about it, the Chunin Exams aren't far off.

"Let's go check on the flowers first."

On the way, Naruto used the Mayfly Technique to sneak towards the supply depot.

Before long, they entered the storage area.

"Once you're awake, you don't need to pretend anymore."

"When...when did you find out?"

Mikoto Uchiha and Izumi Uchiha opened their eyes at the same time, their faces filled with disbelief.

"If I just bluff, they'll confess everything. What can I do?"

Naruto shrugged helplessly.

Then, with a thought, the flowers binding Mikoto and Izumi slowly faded away.

"You did well. I'm not one to explain myself."

"Tsukuyomi".

Then, to the astonishment of Izumi and Mikoto...

Naruto's deep blue eyes transformed into the Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan.

"Get to know the world of Tsukuyomi properly."

"A flower should have the awareness of a flower."

"You don't need to worry about food, clothing, or shelter here. Think it over carefully. If you perform well, we might let you meet Sasuke."

After saying that, Naruto put the two of them on the bed.

Countless vines guard this place, so even if Mikoto Uchiha could activate Susanoo, she wouldn't be able to break free from this confinement.

Because the moment Naruto appeared, he added the Adamantine Sealing Chakra to the barrier here.

He glanced at the sleeping Mikoto and Izumi, then reached out and placed his hand on their foreheads, drawing upon the Uchiha nutrients that he needed to receive each month.

"go home."

The art of the mayfly.

Naruto will give these two some time. If they cannot accept their fate as flowers next time they come, then Naruto will have no choice but to let them remain asleep forever.

After returning home, Naruto found Mitarashi Anko, who was not at the confectionery shop.

As soon as I entered the house, I heard rustling sounds.

When I went to the kitchen, I saw that Hongdou had stuffed her little mouth full.

Her eyes widened, and she almost choked on the glutinous rice ball.

"Naruto~!"

This damn feeling of suffocation.

......

At noon, all twelve members of the Little Strongmen returned.

Tian Tian was the first to return.

When she saw Naruto, whom she hadn't seen for a month, her eyes welled up with tears.

"Little rascal, are you hurt?"

She walked around Naruto and only smiled after finding him safe and sound, and even a little taller.

She pulled Naruto into a tight hug. "Honestly, you're so grown up and you still don't let your older sister worry about you."

"Remember this, you absolutely cannot get into trouble. 1300 taels... even if I sold you now, I wouldn't be able to pay you back, hmph~"

After cuddling for a while, Hinata returned.

This girl is easy to coax; a couple of basic attacks and she transforms into a steampunk goddess.

Hong, on the other hand, remained quite calm.

But when she saw Anko with a rosy complexion come out, her eyes twitched, and she gave Naruto a resentful look.

Well, here comes another older sister who wants to seize the future.

Ino returned last.

Pushing open the door, I could still hear Ino-Shika-Cho complaining.

"Honestly, why does Asuma-sensei always mess things up?"

"The thieves got away again... Mission failed, ugh... Let's eat some meat first."

"Troublesome... Oh well, Choji's right. Let's eat first and think about the mission this afternoon."

As soon as I entered, I saw Naruto smiling.

"Darling~"

Ino leaped into Naruto's arms.

All my bad mood is gone.

Suddenly, she remembered what she had said last month.

"Honey, I have a gift for you tonight~"

Smack—

......

The following days were rather uneventful.

I'm doing C-level missions every day.

With Naruto around, Team 7 has a near 100% mission success rate.

It took only half a month to rank first.

After that, it dominated the charts for a continuous period.

The only thing that surprised Naruto during this time was... the speed at which Mikoto and Izumi Uchiha accepted the situation left him speechless.

The storage site has changed drastically.

Naruto had no idea why things had turned out this way.

However, as time goes by, it seems that the ending is always the same.

Uchiha Izumi was completely heartbroken.

Mikoto Uchiha still misses Sasuke.

But it wasn't as deep as Naruto had imagined.

Perhaps he was heartbroken by the filial piety of his son.

Before we knew it, it was the end of May in Konoha year 60.

There's only one month left until the Chunin Exams.

Naruto entered the sealed space.

"Hmph! Don't think a few meals will make me calm down!"

"Ahem, Kurama, let's not talk about that now."

"No way! You think it's that easy to get through this?"

The proud and aloof Nine-Tails is actually quite easy to appease.

"What should we do then?"

"I've recently found a big project; if it succeeds, the money will be substantial!"

The nine-tailed creature immediately stood up.

"Don't do that to me, or I'll..."

"I want to break the seal."

Nine-Tailed Fox's pupils suddenly contracted.

His voice also became low.

Why?

"Don't you hate them for...sealing me inside you?"

"Truth or lie?"

"Don't joke around, I'm serious."

Naruto smiled and waved as he approached the sealing gate. Looking at the seal above, he turned and laughed:

"At first I hated it, but then I realized it wasn't so bad."

Without saying anything sentimental, Nine-Tailed Fox gave a haughty snort.

The matter was dropped.

"Now, I'm going to break the seal."

"My two adoptive parents still have chakra, and I plan to let them live in the ninja world in another form, just like you..."

"By the way, Mom should still remember the ruins of the Land of Whirlpools. When that happens, release your cheap old man and your other half from the Grim Reaper's belly."

To be honest, it's still a bit of a mouthful.

Nine-Tailed Fox's eyes widened. "My yin half? You have a way to get it back?"

"Yes, we can do it without Aunt Snake."

"There have always been sacrifices in this world, and there are many ghosts and gods... I'm really curious to know if ghosts and gods also have their own world, like the Pure Land world guarded by the Six Paths of Filial Piety."

Upon hearing this, Nine-Tailed Fox frowned.

I pondered for a long time but still couldn't come up with a solution.

"Your focus is always so strange."

Naruto chuckled softly and placed his hand on the sealing talisman.

"Then, I'll break the seal."

tear-

When about one-third of the seal was torn open.

A voice suddenly rang out in the sealed space.

"Naruto, you must not break the seal."

Snapped--

A gentle, warm voice sounded behind Naruto.

A hand was placed on Naruto's shoulder.

Looking back, a man dressed in the robes of the Hokage appeared.

He had long blond hair and a gentle smile on his handsome face.

Upon seeing him, Naruto's first thought was strange, though it was also related to this old father.

But Yongdai Mei is not the main character in the memory.

The Lost Tower – Queen of Loulan.

Naruto, even if you're not in my future, I will always remember you!
