Fourth Raikage: "As expected, a perfect Jinchuriki is inevitable."
Orochimaru: "In my opinion, the Nine-Tailed might not even want to leave Black-framed Naruto-kun's body in the future."
Kurama (Yang): "Impossible, absolutely impossible!"
Mei Terumī: "I have that feeling too. The Nine-Tailed probably won't be able to leave Black-Framed Naruto later on."
[Help you train?]
[How will you help?]
[The Nine-Tailed was stunned for a moment, then looked suspiciously at the excited Naruto.]
[Buzz—]
[The next second, a doll appeared in front of the Nine-Tailed.]
[It was seventy to eighty percent similar to Naruto.]
["Before you tear me apart, tear this apart first." Naruto said with a light chuckle.]
[The Nine-Tailed: "..."]
[Hmph~!]
[The Nine-Tailed disdainfully flung the doll away.]
[One tail slammed down heavily.]
[Seeing this, Naruto turned to look at his Shadow Clone.]
[He formed a hand sign with one hand.]
[Bang—]
[After splitting off another Shadow Clone, the original Shadow Clone, which had just entered meditation, immediately dispersed.]
[The memories and experience were then transmitted back.]
[In an instant.]
[Naruto felt an indescribable sensation spread from the top of his head to the soles of his feet.]
[It was very comfortable.]
[The spiritual power condensed through meditation here.]
[Its quality was much higher than that outside.]
[Thus, Naruto left five Shadow Clones to continue meditating.]
[He, meanwhile, turned and walked toward the Sealing Gate.]
[The Great Fox seemed a little nervous when it saw him turn back.]
[Its nine tails were curled up, as if trying to hide something.]
["Great Fox."]
["I want to cultivate my spiritual power here."]
["Oh." The Nine-Tailed replied distractedly.]
["You have to help me." Naruto said with a serious expression.]
["How should I help?" The Nine-Tailed asked.]
["If I continue using Shadow Clones outside, or if something unexpected happens, it might affect the Shadow Clones cultivating here."]
["Since you could previously reject my spiritual power from entering, you definitely can reject my spiritual power from leaving."]
["You just need to help me block these Shadow Clones."]
[The Nine-Tailed lowered its head and stared at Naruto for a long time.]
[It suddenly said, "Why should this fox help you?"]
["I will give you a beautiful and comfortable big room instead."]
[Upon hearing this, the Nine-Tailed subconsciously looked around.]
["Hmph, this fox is already used to it. I don't need you to meddle."]
["Please, please~"]
["Hmph! You foolish brat, you have so many troublesome things going on!"]
["Please, please~"]
[The Nine-Tailed: "..."]
[You think this fox will help you just because of that?]
[Wishful thinking!]
[A moment later, Naruto withdrew from the spiritual world.]
[He immediately cut off the spiritual power connection.]
[He waited for a little while.]
[And then reconnected to the Sealing Space.]
[The five Shadow Clones he had left behind were still there.]
[The Great Fox truly hadn't refused him; the trash fox was just habitually stubborn.]
[Subsequently, Naruto went to the bed and sat next to Uchiha Izumi.]
["Let the body rest for a bit. I'll first clarify the theoretical knowledge of these Fire Release techniques."]
[While Naruto was studying.]
[Inside the Hokage Office in the Hokage Building.]
[Hiruzen Sarutobi put down a scroll.]
[His brows were tightly furrowed.]
["This won't do... It needs to be more basic."]
["No matter how urgent it is, I can't rush this moment. The child is only seven years old. If I give him too much at once, he will inevitably over-train and exhaust his body."]
["Even with the physique of the Uzumaki Clan, it would leave him with many hidden injuries."]
["Gradually, step by step. That child will repay my Sarutobi Clan for at least fifty years in the future."]
[Hiruzen Sarutobi's grand vision appeared in his mind.]
[From the moment Naruto displayed his talent, his thoughts changed considerably.]
[He had even forgotten what his initial idea was.]
[Hoo—]
[After lighting his pipe and taking a deep puff.]
[A sharp glint flashed in Hiruzen Sarutobi's cloudy eyes.]
["Come in."]
["Yes, Hokage-sama."]
[Creak—]
[The door to the Hokage Office was pushed open.]
[An Anbu Ninja wearing an animal mask walked in.]
[Hiruzen Sarutobi glanced at that strand of purple hair.]
[He nodded slightly and said, "There is a mission I need you to carry out."]
["This mission concerns whether you can become a formal member."]
["Yes, Hokage-sama!"]
[...]
Kurenai Yuhi: "Yūgao?"
Anko Mitarashi: "It must be Yūgao."
Kurenai Yuhi: "What mission does the Third Hokage want Yūgao to complete?"
Anko Mitarashi: "I don't know, but it must be related to Black-Framed Naruto. That Old Thing is probably going to have Yūgao monitor Naruto."
Yūgao Uzuki: "Probably. I only just joined Anbu. Is he asking me to disguise myself as a civilian to get close to Black-Framed Naruto?"
[Ninja Academy.]
[Naruto came to school carrying a large number of scrolls.]
[Hiruzen Sarutobi sent someone to deliver a scroll.]
[It was a Ninjutsu.]
[C-rank Ninjutsu, Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique.]
[There were also Hiruzen Sarutobi's insights written on it.]
[In the letter, Hiruzen Sarutobi sternly told Naruto to restrain himself.]
[Premature and excessive training was not a good thing.]
[Of course, the most important thing was that Hiruzen Sarutobi, that Old Thing, already knew he was using a Shadow Clone to attend school.]
[Never mind.]
[It just so happened that Naruto needed to focus on academics recently; he really didn't need to rush physical training.]
[As for whether his secret was exposed, Naruto didn't care, because if it were exposed, his residence would definitely be teeming with Anbu Ninja.]
[Now that the matter of the Shadow Clone attending school was exposed, there could only be one possibility.]
[That is, Hiruzen Sarutobi, that Old Thing, had started sending people to monitor him again.]
[But it might not be a Ninja, because Naruto did not feel that familiar sense of being monitored.]
[In that case, it was a civilian, and one who lived not far from him.]
[This was the lightest form of surveillance, at most just knowing whether he was home.]
[If the surveillance were any deeper, Naruto was confident he could immediately pinpoint who was monitoring him and where they were.]
[Naruto knew this was the Old Thing's final probing attempt.]
[He clearly wanted Naruto to inherit his mantle.]
Kurenai Yuhi: "It is indeed so."
Anko Mitarashi: "Damn it, that Old Thing had Yūgao disguise herself as a civilian and live nearby, didn't he?"
Yūgao Uzuki: "It seems that's right. I just don't know if the mission is simply to pay attention to Black-Framed Naruto's movements, or to find an opportunity to approach him."
Suddenly. Yūgao Uzuki's entire body shook.
Wait, Black-Framed Naruto seems to have become somewhat different.
He wants to revive the Uzumaki... Based on my personality.
If the mission includes finding a chance to approach Black-Framed Naruto.
Doing it my way... I would definitely use all sorts of methods to attract Black-Framed Naruto's attention.
Judging by the current development of the black frame world, anything that attracts Black-Framed Naruto's attention... must be related to that area.
I'm finished!
This mission might very well drag me into it!
[The Shadow Clones remained at home as usual.]
[The area of focus was just significantly reduced.]
[In fact, Naruto had originally planned to go to the Ninja Academy himself anyway.]
[The area behind the mountain was ultimately too large. Currently, he couldn't seal everything off without exposing himself.]
[In this way, the Ninja Academy was actually a good training location.]
[Ino and the other two, along with Hinata, were heirs of major Ninja clans, so they naturally had elders guiding their training.]
[But Tenten, Sakura, and Lee did not.]
[Naruto just happened to have a few experiments he wanted to try.]
[For a long time to come, Naruto would no longer use Shadow Clones to attend the Ninja Academy.]
[Instead, he would have his Shadow Clones use the Transformation Jutsu and go to the mountain behind the village to train.]
["Damn it, why is Naruto such a show-off?"]
