Naruto: Set a goal, conquer the universe.

Page 7

Wearing a headband makes you a ninja, so how come you're weaker than me, someone who hasn't even enrolled yet?

I really don't understand.

With such poor skills, how can you graduate?

The next day, Naruto excitedly ran to Kakashi's house, like a little golden retriever running around.

"Kakashi-senpai!" Naruto greeted Kakashi politely with a bow as he entered Kakashi's house.

"Ah, you don't need to be so polite in the future. Just treat it like you're at home," Kakashi said, seemingly unconcerned.

“ε=(?ο｀*))) Huh? Is it that nice?” Naruto scratched his head and said, feeling that Kakashi-senpai was very kind to him.

"It's nothing. Guy is my good friend, and since you're his disciple, you're also my disciple." Kakashi turned around, having already accepted Naruto as his disciple.

"Yes, is that so?"

"Alright, enough of that. Now that you've cultivated chakra and know your elemental aura, I'll teach you a wind-style ninjutsu today," Kakashi said.

Naruto immediately forgot what had just happened and focused entirely on the ninjutsu Kakashi had mentioned.

"This ninjutsu is called Wind Barrier, which has the effect of controlling the wind within a certain range. For example, it can be used to propagate sound or detect enemies within the range. It can be considered a kind of auxiliary ninjutsu."

"However, he can greatly help you master the wind attribute, so practice hard," Kakashi said.

"Yes!" Naruto nodded excitedly; this was the first ninjutsu he had ever mastered.

That night, Naruto, exhausted from a day of training, fell into a deep sleep.

When he opened his eyes again, he found himself in a scene that resembled an underground sewer.

"Did I have another vivid dream?" Naruto pinched his cheek, but it didn't seem to hurt.

where is this place?

Naruto walked through the dimly lit sewers.

They slowly arrived in front of a huge cage.

Suddenly, a pair of scarlet eyes appeared in the dark cage.

"Holy crap, monster, monster!" Naruto was so frightened that he immediately turned and ran away.

Damn it, how could I dream of something so terrifying?

Fortunately, he didn't stay in the sewer for long and woke up soon.

What is that thing?

Naruto scratched his head and quickly put the matter out of his mind.

Soon, a year passed.

Leaf Village, in the wild.

Naruto, carrying a huge boulder on his back, is running barefoot up the mountain.

After reaching the top of the mountain, Naruto tossed the boulder high into the air, pushed off slightly with his legs, and quickly rose to the side of the boulder, raising his right fist and punching it hard.

The surface of the boulder immediately shattered into pieces, eventually falling to the ground as individual stones.

Naruto let out a long breath and looked up at the sky.

"It's almost time to enroll. Time to get to the Ninja Academy," he muttered to himself. The next moment, his figure vanished from the spot.

Outside the Ninja Academy in Konoha Village.

The annual enrollment of new students has begun.

Outside the academy, people come and go, and children of similar age chase and play around from time to time, while their parents watch them with smiles on their faces.

We hope they can pass the test and officially become members of the Ninja Academy.

For ordinary people to change their social class, becoming a ninja is undoubtedly the fastest and most convenient way.

Sasuke stood beside his father, looking left and right from time to time, as if he were looking for something.

Wearing a Konoha uniform, Fugaku Uchiha glanced at his son and asked, "Sasuke, what are you looking at?"

Sasuke immediately stopped looking around and shook his head, saying, "It's nothing."

On the other side, Hinata, holding her father's hand, was looking around as if searching for someone.

Hiashi Hyuga saw this and asked him about it.

Hinata shook her head and said nothing.

Chapter 12 Call Me Brother

"Shikamaru, do you want some potato chips?" Choji handed the bag of potato chips to Shikamaru, who was holding the back of his head with his hands.

"Thank you, Choji!" Shikamaru took out a potato chip and ate it.

"It's so boring, Dad. Is it really necessary to go to school?" Shikamaru complained to his father.

"If you don't want to go to school, go back and tell your mom yourself," Lu Jiu replied expressionlessly.

"Never mind then, Mom's too scary." Shikamaru immediately lost his temper.

"Mmm... Going to school is pretty fun, isn't it?" Choji said after grabbing a handful of potato chips and putting them in his mouth.

“That’s how it is. We used to be like this too. Shikamaru, you should change your ways,” Choza said with a laugh.

Naruto sat on a branch of a tree not far from the academy, watching the lively scene below.

Teacher Kai is away on another assignment and can't come with him to the entrance ceremony.

He could only come alone.

Looking at the scene below, a hint of envy flashed in Naruto's eyes.

If his parents were still alive, they would probably have taken him along.

"Naruto, it's time to go down and attend the entrance ceremony." A voice suddenly appeared behind Naruto.

Naruto turned his head instantly and saw Kakashi!

He appeared behind him without him noticing!

As expected, Kakashi-sensei is very strong!

Seeing Kakashi personally accompany him to the entrance ceremony, Naruto immediately broke into a happy smile.

The envy in his heart vanished instantly; he was not alone!

He is a child who is accompanied by someone!

"Okay, Kakashi-sensei!" Naruto replied, and the two jumped down from the tree together, heading towards the Ninja Academy.

Naruto's appearance attracted the attention of many people.

"Naruto, I thought you weren't coming!" Sasuke saw Naruto and his eyes flashed with joy, but because his father was with him, he didn't go over to greet Naruto.

"My little brother is here after all." Hinata saw Naruto's figure, her eyes crinkling with joy.

But more often than not, it was malice, mockery, and indifference.

When the villagers saw Naruto, they looked at him with disgust and began to mutter curses under their breath.

But when Kakashi shot them a sharp, cold gaze, the whispering villagers froze as if they were being watched by a ferocious beast, no longer daring to utter a word.

Kakashi's arrival with Naruto stirred up strange thoughts in many people present.

Fugaku glanced at Naruto, then narrowed his eyes and stared at Kakashi. A hint of bloodlust even appeared in his lowered eyes; he had already activated his Sharingan.

Choza and Shikaku also turned their attention to Kakashi.

The Third Hokage forbade any ninja who had any connection with the Fourth Hokage from contacting Naruto!

This caused ninjas like Fugaku, Choza, and Shikaku, who recognized Naruto's identity, to be afraid to approach him!

Why is it that you, Kakashi, can so openly and legitimately interact with Naruto?

And he even brought Naruto to the entrance ceremony!

Just because you, Kakashi, are the Fourth Hokage's student?

We are still the heads of a ninja clan!

As Kakashi walked over with his arm around Naruto's shoulder, the three of them felt a sense of deception welling up inside them, making their chests heave uncontrollably!

Shikamaru and Sasuke immediately noticed their father's unusual behavior and looked up to see him looking in Naruto's direction.

"Father, do you know that child?" Sasuke asked curiously.

"No, I don't know him." Fugaku put away his Sharingan and shook his head slightly.

"Oh." Sasuke pursed his lips. He wanted to tell his father that it was his friend, but he was too afraid. The Uchiha were a powerful clan in Konoha, and it would lower their status if they were friends with a commoner.

Shikamaru didn't say anything, but muttered with his eyes half-closed, "So boring."

"Hey, Sasuke, you're here too!" Naruto saw Sasuke and greeted him warmly.

No one was near them; they were spotted immediately.

Sasuke was about to respond, but then he glanced at Fugaku and saw that Fugaku was looking at him. Sasuke coughed lightly, his expression haughty, and nodded slightly to Naruto.

The style of the wealthy is that of the wealthy!

Yes, especially the Uchiha!

"Do you know him?" Fugaku asked.

"I guess you could say we know each other." Sasuke nodded slightly, but his heart was pounding with nervousness.

He was terrified that his father wouldn't allow him to become friends with Naruto.

"Let's get along well." Fugaku's voice continued, but his words surprised Sasuke.

My father actually agreed to let me befriend Naruto?

Is he still that old-fashioned father?

Sasuke couldn't understand, but he didn't dwell on it. He couldn't help but smile and said, "Okay!"

He and Naruto actually only saw each other a few times a year.

But somehow, the two of them just got along really well.

Aside from his own brother, Sasuke has the best relationship with Naruto.

Hearing Naruto and Sasuke greet each other, Kakashi simply brought Naruto over there.

"Lord Fugaku!" Kakashi greeted Fugaku.

Fugaku's face was dark, as if Kakashi owed him eight million. "Kakashi, don't leave yet, I have something to tell you."

Kakashi was taken aback, not understanding how he had offended the captain of the Konoha Police Force and the head of the Uchiha clan.

Fugaku didn't look at Kakashi again, but turned to look at Naruto, a gentle smile appearing on his lips: "Your name is Naruto?"

"Yes." Naruto looked up at the middle-aged man in front of him. If he wasn't mistaken, this should be Sasuke's father.

He said it in a very stern tone.

"I'll be counting on you to take good care of Sasuke while he's at the academy," Fugaku said with a smile.

“Father, I’m older than Naruto! If anyone should be taking care of someone, it should be me!” Sasuke said, immediately expressing his dissatisfaction.

Upon hearing this, Fugaku smiled, a rare occurrence for him: "Indeed, Sasuke, you're about two and a half months older than Naruto."

Upon hearing this, Sasuke's face lit up with joy, and he said to Naruto, "Did you hear that, Naruto? Quickly call him 'brother'!"

Naruto certainly wouldn't call this arrogant guy "brother"; he'd be the one to call him "brother."

but......

How would Sasuke's father know his own birthday?

Thinking of this, Naruto asked directly.

Fugaku's heart tightened, and his brows furrowed slightly. How did he know?

Of course he knew. He and the Fourth Hokage were close friends, and even his wife and Kushina were best friends. How could he not know?

But he couldn't say anything, and he couldn't even have anything to do with Naruto.
