[The Dead-Last Jinchuriki: Haha, everyone is so interesting. Not like the people at the Academy who don't want to play with me.]
[Cat Burglar: This group is full of talented people who are great to talk to. I really like it here.]
[The Archaeologist of Ohara: Joking aside, @The Dead-Last Jinchuriki, how about your graduation exam? Is it serious?]
[This Queen Is So Beautiful: If you're really going to be fed to the lions, I can teach you beast taming techniques, the secret methods of the Kuja Warriors for controlling wild beasts.]
[The Dead-Last Jinchuriki: Uh, it's not that cruel, really.]
Watching the lively scene in the group, a satisfied expression appeared on Hattori's face.
He had been a little worried that members from different worlds might not be able to connect.
But now it seemed, silly group friends transcend worlds.
[Dark Group Owner: @The Dead-Last Jinchuriki, If I'm not mistaken, after the exam ended, a gentle-looking white-haired Shinobi probably approached you, right?]
[The Dead-Last Jinchuriki: !!!]
Naruto's eyes widened in shock.
After the graduation exam ended, a gentle white-haired Shinobi named Mizuki did approach him and comforted him.
'But how did Group Owner mister know that?'
'Was it also part of the Genjutsu?'
[The Dead-Last Jinchuriki: Group Owner, you're just too amazing. Mizuki-sensei did find me. He advised me to steal something called the 'Scroll of Seals', saying that if I learned the technique on it, I could prove myself and become a real Shinobi.]
Seeing the message Naruto sent,
Hattori couldn't help but smile slightly.
The plot of Naruto was finally beginning.
[Dark Group Owner: @The Dead-Last Jinchuriki, Do you want to prove yourself?]
[The Dead-Last Jinchuriki: Honestly, yes. But I'm a little afraid of getting scolded by Iruka-sensei and Grandpa Sandaime.]
[Cat Burglar: Stealing? That's my specialty. Is it a padlock or a combination lock? A treasure chest or a safe?]
[This Queen Is So Beautiful: The word 'steal' isn't very appropriate. In this queen's country, we usually call it 'taking' or 'acquiring'.]
[The Archaeologist of Ohara: The Scroll of Seals... just the name sounds very important. I think you'd better not take this risk.]
[The Dead-Last Jinchuriki: Group Owner Mister, what do you think?]
Naruto looked at the group chat interface, feeling an inexplicable sense of dependence growing in his heart.
Unconsciously,
He had already started treating the Group Owner Mister like family.
[Dark Group Owner: Ask your own heart. If you truly want to prove yourself, then do it.]
[The Dead-Last Jinchuriki: …]
'I understand, Group Owner Mister.'
Naruto clenched his fists.
He had made a decision in his heart.
He would steal the Scroll of Seals, learn the technique on it, and prove himself!
But not for the sake of the villagers.
It was to prove to the Group Owner Mister that he wasn't a dead-last.
[Cat Burglar: @The Dead-Last Jinchuriki, Here's my experience with theft and hiding techniques. Exclusive stuff, remember it well.]
[The Archaeologist of Ohara: Although it's not exactly honorable, since you've decided, do it without regrets.]
Reading the messages from his group friends one by one, Naruto felt a warmth in his heart.
'So, not everyone neglected and ignored him.'
'In another place, there was a group of friends like this, willing to accept me.'
...
Late at night.
Naruto's figure, like a cunning fox, moved across the roof beams.
He had been mischievous since childhood, climbing roofs was a common occurrence.
Following the route given by Mizuki, Naruto stealthily made his way to the place where the Scroll of Seals was stored.
Everything went smoothly.
'Group Owner Mister, just wait and see. I will definitely learn the technique on the Scroll of Seals and become a real Shinobi.'
Naruto clenched his fists, secretly determined.
He entered the storage place of the Scroll of Seals.
It was terrifyingly quiet all around, as if there were no guards at all.
"Grandpa Sandaime is really something, not even posting guards for such an important thing."
Naruto scratched his head casually, not sensing anything wrong at all.
After taking the Scroll of Seals, he tore open the seal and started reading.
"Hmm, the first one is the Clone Technique, the one I'm worst at."
Seeing the first technique on the Scroll of Seals, Naruto's face immediately fell, looking bitter.
Of the Three Basic Technique, the one he was worst at was the Clone Technique.
It was precisely because he failed the Clone Technique that he had repeatedly failed the graduation exam.
'No! This time I have to learn it. I can't let Group Owner Mister down.'
A fire ignited in Naruto's heart.
Holding the Scroll of Seals, he sat cross-legged and began reading it right there on the spot.
At this moment, Mizuki, hiding in the shadows, silently observing everything, and a triumphant smile appeared on his face.
'As long as I make everything public, and then eliminate Naruto...'
'The Scroll of Seals will be mine.'
Mizuki chuckled sinisterly, his figure instantly disappearing from the spot.
The silver moon hung in the sky, the night curtain low.
A conspiracy targeting Naruto quietly began.
