"You want that Uchiha's eyes? Your current strength isn't quite enough."
Kurama poured cold water on Naruto, but it was indeed the truth.
"Kurama, you've been sealed for so many years, yet you still don't understand battles between Ninja."
Naruto said, somewhat speechless; this big fox really didn't have a brain.
"What?" Kurama was a bit confused.
"Battles between Ninja are all about intelligence," Naruto explained.
In battles between Ninja, intelligence plays a crucial role. Didn't Uchiha Madara become a Six Paths Sage and still get his heart dug out?
"I currently have all of Uchiha Shisui's intelligence, but he doesn't even know the ocular Ninjutsu of my Mangekyo, so this time, the advantage is mine."
"You, where on earth did you get so much intelligence?" Kurama's expression was very puzzled. This guy clearly just buried himself in training, so why did he know so much about the Ninja World's information?
"It's none of your business, Kurama."
"Besides, Uchiha Shisui doesn't even need me to make a move. Those old men in Konoha Village will make a move themselves. When the time comes, I'll just pick up the scraps."
"Pick up the scraps? Are you saying someone in Konoha Village will move against that Uchiha?" Kurama's expression was quite rich, "That's the Mangekyo Sharingan. Are Konoha Village's higher-ups that foolish?"
"His ocular Ninjutsu is called Kotoamatsukami, which can covertly manipulate others at will and permanently and completely change a person's thoughts and will."
Naruto boredly broke his chopsticks and continued, "Those old guys aren't foolish; they're afraid. No matter how firm Uchiha Shisui's fire will is, as long as he possesses this unreasonable ability, Konoha Village's higher-ups will never be able to trust him."
"One's own destiny is only safest when held in one's own hands."
"Is that why you said that?" Kurama suddenly remembered what Naruto had said when he left.
Naivety and foolishness would lead that Uchiha to die at the hands of Konoha Village's higher-ups, and the Uchiha Clan, having lost their Mangekyo Sharingan, would be completely dealt with by Konoha Village's higher-ups.
Naruto grinned, "So, we can just pick up the scraps then, and maybe even cause Konoha Village's Anbu to lose a few more."
Kurama fell silent, and Naruto quickly finished the few buckets of instant noodles on the table.
After lying on the sofa for a while, the long-awaited relaxation made Naruto, who had been under high-intensity training, feel uncomfortable all over.
Indeed, it would be better to go exercise.
He directly sprang up from the sofa with a carp jump.
He rummaged through his bedroom for a few loose, breathable clothes, not caring if they were dirty or not. Anyway, with Nine-Tailed Beast Chakra, even insects wouldn't dare to approach him.
Soon, Naruto, dressed in a white T-shirt and black shorts, was ready to go out.
But as soon as he opened the door, a withered, thin old face full of wrinkles appeared before him.
Prepared!
Naruto subconsciously thought of this word and greeted him with a smile.
"Good morning, Third Hokage!"
Hiruzen Sarutobi's originally smiling expression suddenly froze. He looked at the sun appearing overhead.
Good morning?
"Why is little Naruto waking up so late today?"
Naruto was still smiling cheerfully.
"I was originally planning to rest today, but I feel that my youth shouldn't have any regrets, so I'm going to exercise."
Hiruzen Sarutobi's eyelid suddenly twitched, and his smile almost didn't hold, because Naruto's appearance just now was too much like a Jonin of Konoha Village, especially his teeth, which gleamed brightly in the sunlight.
"Little Naruto, the Village has been a bit unstable recently. How about you rest for a while until the Ninja Academy starts?"
Hiruzen Sarutobi said earnestly. Although that mysterious person seemed to be after the Bloodline Limit, he might also target the Jinchuriki.
Naruto's small face showed some curiosity, "Did something happen to the Village?"
Hiruzen Sarutobi nodded, worriedly saying, "There's been a bad person in the Village recently. Grandpa is afraid little Naruto will be abducted by them."
'Hmm?'
Naruto only then realized that this unstable factor was him. Looking at it this way, Uchiha Shisui didn't reveal his Uchiha Clan identity. And yes, if he had, the Uchiha Clan snatching a Bloodline Limit from a fellow villager would mean that the Uchiha Clan and Konoha Village would have no chance at all.
Uchiha Shisui wanted to deal with him alone.
"It's fine, Third Hokage, my current strength isn't weak. If a bad person dares to attack me, I'll directly beat them down."
Saying that, Naruto showed his fist.
But Hiruzen Sarutobi could only smile bitterly. An enemy that Uchiha Shisui couldn't deal with, how could Naruto, who was at most Chunin level, possibly deal with him?
Hiruzen Sarutobi wanted to refuse but didn't want to cause Naruto's displeasure, so he finally thought of a compromise.
"In that case, Naruto, go train at the Village's Training Ground."
"Training Ground?" Naruto hadn't heard of it yet.
Hiruzen Sarutobi smiled, gestured to the ANBU Ninja next to him, and said, "The Village's Training Ground is a place specifically for Ninja to practice Ninjutsu, Taijutsu, and Ninja knowledge. There are a total of forty-four of them in Konoha Village. If little Naruto is there, practicing anything is no problem. Do you want to go?"
Naruto's eyes brightened increasingly as he listened to Hiruzen Sarutobi's introduction. Within the small Konoha Village, there was actually such a good place.
"Yes, I want to go, I want to go."
The ANBU Ninja whom Hiruzen Sarutobi had gestured to earlier returned and respectfully said, "Third Hokage, the Third Training Ground is currently empty."
Hiruzen Sarutobi also nodded and said, "In that case, you shall take Naruto there."
"Yes."
Only after Naruto arrived did he realize that this Third Training Ground was where Team Seven would snatch bells in the future.
The surroundings were a scene of vibrant life and flourishing growth, with a slowly flowing small river cutting through the entire forest.
"You can train here from now on."
After the ANBU Ninja finished speaking, he disappeared directly without waiting for Naruto's response.
Naruto didn't care and instead looked towards the riverbank.
There was a silver-haired figure there.
"Yo, One-Eyed Uncle!"
