Nearby.
Konohamaru and his two companions stared blankly at Naruto's painting, completely astonished by such a marvelous technique.
Being children at heart, they couldn't help but inch closer to get a better look.
"This is amazing! I thought this sister's paintings were impressive, but Naruto-nii-san's are even better," Konohamaru exclaimed in admiration.
"Yeah, it's just like the real thing. I've never seen a painting like this before," Udon agreed, nodding his head.
"Wait a minute, didn't you say this sister was mute, Udon? I heard her talking just now," Moegi asked, looking at Udon with confusion.
"I've never seen this sister speak before. So she can talk, but why doesn't she pay attention to us?" Udon said, a stream of snot running down his nose.
"I don't know. Maybe this lady just doesn't like talking to us. Naruto-nii-san is amazing; she started talking to him right away."
"Naruto-nii-san is the best, as expected."
Konohamaru looked at Naruto with admiration. Although Naruto had once kicked him flying, he still thought Naruto was amazing, especially his painting skills. They were truly remarkable.
Shhh!
The sound of painting continued. Under everyone's gaze, Naruto finally finished the 3D Painting.
Looking at this magical artwork, Yakumo Kurama couldn't help but ask, "Excuse me, why is your painting so realistic?"
"Because this is called a 3D Painting, also known as a 3D panoramic painting. It's a three-dimensional painting technique that emphasizes a sense of depth and realism, giving a strong visual impact."
Naruto explained slowly, while also earning experience points.
"I see. Where did you learn this painting technique? Could you tell me? I want to learn it." Yakumo Kurama asked.
"You're probably going to be disappointed. I'm the only one in this world who does 3D Painting," Naruto said, shrugging.
"This…"
Yakumo Kurama paused slightly upon hearing this, but she really liked this style of painting. Finally, she couldn't help but ask, "Can I… can I learn from you?"
"Learn?" Naruto tilted his head, thinking.
It was rare to meet someone else who liked painting, and Naruto didn't mind painting with her. The key was that he could earn experience points, and more importantly, this girl's ability was too overpowered.
In his previous life, when watching the anime, this girl drew black clouds on paper, and black clouds really appeared in the sky.
Then, this girl drew lightning, and lightning instantly struck the Hokage Office and set it on fire. Such an ability was indeed too overbearing.
Naruto really liked this ability. If he mastered it, he could easily erase enemies in his paintings, or even draw some lightning to zap Danzo when he felt like it.
So Naruto made a decision in his heart, then looked at Yakumo Kurama.
"Alright, but getting good at 3D Painting is harder than you think. First, you need to understand the principles of 3D image formation and correctly grasp the concept of stereoscopic images."
"I'm not afraid of difficulty. I've had two wishes since I was a child: to become a ninja and to paint. I'm not afraid of any hardship to achieve these two wishes."
Yakumo Kurama clenched her small hands and said firmly, then bowed deeply to Naruto: "My name is Yakumo Kurama, please take care of me, Teacher."
"Teacher?"
Naruto was a little surprised. He was actually doing this for the experience points and her abilities, but he didn't expect the girl to bow so respectfully, which made him feel a little embarrassed.
Taking a deep breath, Naruto smiled and said, "You don't have to be so formal, just call me Naruto."
"That's not right," Yakumo Kurama hesitated.
"It's alright."
"Then I'll call you, Teacher Naruto," Yakumo Kurama considered, choosing a better form of address.
"Suit yourself. Since you're now my student, I'll give you this 3D Painting as a welcome gift," Naruto handed over the 3D Painting.
"Thank you, Teacher Naruto."
Yakumo Kurama looked at the 3D Painting in front of her, and she was extremely happy. Ever since that incident, her life had been shrouded in darkness, but now this 3D Painting brought a glimmer of hope into her life. For once, she revealed a small smile, even if the curve was slight.
Nearby.
Udon saw Yakumo Kurama's smile and quickly leaned towards the other two companions, speaking in a low voice.
"I've never seen Yakumo Kurama smile like this. I didn't expect her to smile today."
"Of course! Just look at how amazing Naruto-nii's 3D Painting are," Konohamaru said proudly, head held high.
"They really are amazing. Can we learn from Naruto-nii?" Moegi suddenly asked.
"Well, I feel like drawing is hard, but we can learn something else. Naruto-nii is really strong," Konohamaru thought, remembering the time he got kicked away.
"I'm not afraid of difficulties. These 3D Painting are so cool! Imagine the look on your grandfather's face when you draw something amazing in the future. Isn't that what you want? To surpass your grandfather?"
Moegi really liked 3D Painting, so she insisted on learning to draw and even encouraged Konohamaru.
"This… sounds really good."
Konohamaru imagined the scene of his 3D Painting amazing the Third Hokage and instantly felt pumped up, ready to learn. He then turned to Naruto.
"Naruto-nii, can we learn to draw from you?" Konohamaru asked expectantly.
"No way."
Naruto refused without hesitation. He valued Yakumo Kurama's abilities, but he didn't want to bring along Konohamaru and the others.
"Why? Big brother Naruto, please teach us," Moegi pleaded. She genuinely loved to paint.
"No, it's useless for you. Your current task is to improve your strength and increase your power," Naruto shook his head again.
"But big brother Naruto, why did you agree to teach this sister?"
"Because she has a foundation. Although 3D Painting is fundamentally different from two-dimensional painting, she's been painting for so long. Whether it's her personality or her control over painting, you can't compare."
"We really want to learn. Big brother Naruto, please teach us, please."
"No."
"Naruto-nii, please."
"No."
Over the next while, Naruto started teaching Yakumo Kurama. Although he hadn't agreed to teach Konohamaru and the others, he didn't stop them from listening when he explained 3D Painting.
They were kids, after all; it was just a passing interest, and they'd give up after a while.
Naruto didn't mind them listening, and started explaining 3D Painting from the basics.
Time passed little by little as Naruto taught, and soon the sun began to set.
Naruto watched as Yakumo Kurama, Udon, and Moegi's experience spheres shattered, and decided to go home for dinner.
"Alright, let's stop here for today. Practice the painting basics I taught you. It won't be long before you improve."
"Thank you, Teacher Naruto. Will you come here again tomorrow?" Yakumo Kurama asked.
"I can't come tomorrow. I have something else to do," Naruto shook his head.
The experience points had been absorbed. His relationship with Yakumo Kurama wasn't close enough yet, and he couldn't study her abilities for the time being, so Naruto decided to wait a while.
The time would come when Yakumo Kurama's storyline would begin, and she would be able to recover a lot of experience points. It would be a win-win situation.
So.
Naruto waved goodbye and left, heading towards his home.
However.
When Naruto reached the bustling street, he saw four people in the distance.
The four people present were Kakashi, Sasuke, Sakura, and Iruka. The reappearance of experience orbs around Sakura and Sasuke made Naruto frown.
They hadn't experienced any plot developments, yet the experience orbs that had disappeared from Sasuke and Sakura had surprisingly returned. This truly surprised Naruto.
Could it be that Sasuke and Sakura are different? What about Sakura? Wait, there's also the Nine-Tailed Demon Fox.
Naruto was taken aback, his consciousness instantly sinking into the space where the Nine-Tailed Demon Fox was sealed.
