Naruto: I made you Naruto, and you've become blond?

Chapter 47 Uchiha Izumi (Please continue reading)

Shizune stroked Naruto's wet, blond hair and asked hesitantly.

"Naruto, have you been exposed to medical ninjutsu before?"

Naruto looked at Shizune with curiosity and nodded.

"Dean Nono taught me some basic knowledge before."

Shizune breathed a sigh of relief upon receiving the answer and gently patted her flat chest.

No wonder she was always curious. If Naruto really showed this level on his first encounter, then even Tsunade, who was young, was probably not as talented as this junior brother!

Then she, as the senior student, must be under a lot of pressure!

……

The next day.

A thin layer of mist hangs over the leaves in the early morning.

Wearing sportswear and engaged in an endurance run, Naruto's smooth forehead was covered in fine beads of sweat as he exhaled.

A ninja is someone who endures things that ordinary people cannot.

He insists on running around Konoha every morning to build his physical strength, which now seems to be ingrained in his very being.

Naruto casually wiped the sweat from his forehead with his arm, silently considering his next plans.

Rescue Karin and her daughter...

It wasn't appropriate to tell Tsunade about this directly, since the source of the information was difficult to reveal. It wouldn't be right to say that I'd watched Shippuden without Hayate...

The only option was to wait until Tsunade was behind before taking him out of the village to gamble in Tanabata Town.

Or perhaps he secretly sought an opportunity while treating the nobles and wealthy merchants in the Fire Country's metropolis.

This means he must now rescue Karin from the clutches of the ruthless and short-sighted ninjas of Kusagakure alone...

The fact that Kusagakure used Karin as a human-shaped pill, along with the darkness and corruption revealed in the movie, makes Naruto feel no goodwill towards the ninjas of this small, hidden village.

Naruto, panting heavily, stopped, resting his arms on his legs to catch his breath. He realized that facing an entire ninja village, his current strength was still somewhat insufficient…

Now that I have become Tsunade's disciple and am gradually winning her over, I need to obtain the forbidden technique book through Tsunade's channels as soon as possible!

There's also Tsunade's unique superhuman strength and the summoning beasts from the three sacred lands of Shikkotsu Forest!

It was still early, and the sunlight had not yet fallen.

The streets of Konoha were bustling with villagers, and neon lights from various shops were flashing.

In addition, long queues had already formed in front of various shops selling tricolor dumplings, takoyaki, and other similar items.

This alone is enough to show how lush and vibrant the leaves are.

The Land of Fire is located in the very center of the ninja world, a place of constant warfare and fierce competition among nations.

But precisely because it is located in the central plains, it has been a transportation hub in the ninja world since ancient times, and its commerce has been exceptionally prosperous!

In addition, it has very few ravines and hills, fertile land, and abundant resources, so it is only natural that it is coveted by the other major ninja villages.

Naruto glanced at them; the three-colored dumplings were a famous Konoha delicacy, and a snack that Itachi Uchiha and Anko both particularly loved...

After thinking for a moment, Naruto went and bought two skewers of three-colored dumplings, then returned to Tsunade's residence.

As they passed Konoha's third training ground, they saw two figures flying across the training ground, fighting each other.

Naruto raised an eyebrow. One of them was a familiar face: Itachi Uchiha!

The other was a girl wearing a light purple outer garment and plate armor engraved with the white and red Uchiha fan.

Her beautiful, long, black hair danced gracefully as she dodged Itachi Uchiha's swift attacks.

Naruto, uninterested in Itachi Uchiha who had killed his father and mother, was preparing to leave.

"Swish, swish, swish!"

Uchiha Itachi instantly leaped backward, several shuriken slicing through the air and flying towards the girl. The black-haired girl reacted quickly, using her kunai to block.

The sharp metal objects collided, scattering dazzling sparks, and then one of the shuriken shot straight at Naruto, who was passing by.

"Oh no! Watch out! Get out of the way!"

With a crisp, girlish cry of surprise, the rapidly spinning shuriken, gleaming with a sharp, cold light, shot straight towards them.

It brought with it a series of whistling sounds as it cut through the air.

Naruto's gaze sharpened, and he stood still, the shuriken barely grazing his shoulder and clothes.

A flash of cold light disappeared in an instant, embedding itself in the ground a few meters behind Naruto.

The girl instantly appeared in front of Naruto.

A small black mole adorned her right eye, and her pretty face was slightly sweaty.

A few strands of her jet-black, glossy hair were damp with sweat, adding a touch of asceticism to her originally gentle and delicate face.

The girl's face flushed red, and she hurriedly apologized repeatedly.

"I'm so sorry, I'm really sorry. I didn't expect to miss the parry..."

"Thank goodness you weren't hurt! Otherwise..."

The latest novel is first published here!

Naruto waved his hand, refusing the girl's apology.

This should be Izumi Uchiha, who developed feelings for that beast Itachi Uchiha in the original work...

He turned his head to look at Uchiha Itachi.

Naruto couldn't believe that Itachi Uchiha, a master of shuriken control, would make such a serious mistake while sparring with Izumi Uchiha.

Itachi Uchiha appeared in a flash, seemingly out of genuine surprise, with a hint of apology on his face.

"Naruto-kun, I'm sorry, I almost hurt you!"

Naruto showed no sign of anything amiss on his face, but frowned and said nothing more.

After all, this was the kind of person who would dare to slaughter an entire clan for the sake of the village's stability and his beloved younger brother Sasuke. For a moment, he couldn't figure out what this madman was thinking. Maybe he was just having a fit of madness?

Naruto cursed inwardly, "If I ever get the chance, I'll make sure Itachi Uchiha guards the door outside while I pick up Aunt Mikoto inside and kick her a few times!"

Uchiha Izumi watched Naruto's small figure hurriedly leave, wiped the sweat-dampened strands of hair from her cheek, and asked in confusion.

"Itachi, do you know this little boy?"

Itachi Uchiha nodded with a stoic expression.

"He's Sasuke's classmate... Recently, Lady Tsunade has taken a liking to him and wants to take him on as her disciple!"

Hearing the usually quiet and reserved childhood sweetheart's concise answer,

Uchiha Izumi did not show any anger; instead, she was taken aback upon hearing this.

Tsunade's disciple?! That's a direct descendant of the Hokage! Barring any unforeseen circumstances, she's practically a future high-ranking member of the village!

The atmosphere in the clan has been unusually tense lately, and they have been hindered and suppressed by the village at every turn. Isn't that because of the village's high-ranking officials' long-standing prejudice against the Uchiha clan?

Let alone the fact that there is a member of their Uchiha clan in the higher-ups, even if any village's higher-ups were willing to say a few words of justice for the Uchiha and wholeheartedly help them resolve the misunderstandings and barriers between them and the village.

Otherwise, the family wouldn't be in the current predicament of being neglected and ostracized by the village!

Thinking this, a thoughtful expression appeared on Uchiha Izumi's fair face.

Perhaps I can befriend that kid beforehand, and maybe I can get help from his teacher, Lady Tsunade, for my clan?

Uchiha Itachi, standing to the side with an expressionless face, stared at Naruto's retreating figure, his dark eyes lifeless and gloomy, lost in thought.

Returning to the Thousand Hands House,

Naruto then saw the courtyard.

A beautiful woman with her hair styled in a high, elegant updo was smiling and talking to Jingyin, while carrying a beautiful mahogany gift box in her hand.
