The moment the black-framed large screen image disappeared.
The entire Ninja World fell silent.
Everyone could almost foresee what would happen next.
Black-Framed Naruto.
What great talent!
Of course, Konoha's reputation had already dropped to freezing point.
Even those civilians and Ninja who had been brainwashed by the Will of Fire.
At this moment.
Could not utter a single word.
It was as if a breath was stuck in their chest, growing hotter and hotter... they couldn't catch their breath.
Intense surprise filled Naruto's eyes.
The Village's darkness caused him to fall into contemplation once again.
His self in the black frame world had once again resolved the crisis in a way he never imagined.
The Will of Fire, at this point, had become the biggest joke in the Ninja World.
Orochimaru: "Hehe... Jiraiya, you should come out and speak now."
Orochimaru: "Otherwise, the Konoha you love so deeply will be gone."
Tsunade: "Jiraiya, where are you? I agree to your terms."
Jiraiya: "..."
Luring me back just to kill me?
But... Haa—
Jiraiya took a deep breath.
He did not speak.
Instead, he silently sped up.
The child of prophecy!
I must find the child of prophecy!
Buzz—
At this moment.
The gold-framed big screen image appeared.
[After defeating Mizuki, Naruto gained Iruka's recognition and became a Genin.]
[The scroll of seals and Mizuki were also taken back by Iruka.]
[Finally, as the first ray of sunlight hit Naruto's forehead in the early morning.]
[He became a Genin.]
[Naruto smiled, realizing he wasn't an outcast; he was also a Genin.]
[Next came team assignments, graduation photos, and submitting paperwork.]
[On the day of team assignments.]
[Naruto arrived at the classroom early.]
[Seeing the forehead protector on Naruto's brow, many people were surprised.]
[However.]
[Naruto's previously happy mood vanished the moment he saw Sasuke.]
[Watching Sakura Haruno and Ino vying for the seat next to Sasuke.]
[In that moment, Naruto felt a pang of jealousy.]
[Other girls also crowded around.]
[Finally, Naruto couldn't help but go over.]
[Why is this kid, who only knows how to act cool, so popular?]
[Thus, Naruto rushed straight over.]
[He squatted on Sasuke's desk, looking at him with a face full of displeasure.]
[Sasuke was stunned for a moment, then his face filled with disgust.]
[Their eyes met.]
[Both were mutually displeased.]
[Seeing this, the girls immediately started cursing Naruto.]
Kurotsuchi: "Is this... the Uzumaki Naruto of our world?"
Kurotsuchi: "He looks so punchable!"
Naruto: "..."
Even I feel a little annoyed looking at myself right now!
"Hahaha~"
Inside the Sealing Space, the Nine-Tailed Kitsune laughed heartily.
"This Fox's Jinchuriki?"
The laughter stopped abruptly.
"I refuse to accept this!"
"Why does the version of me in the black frame world have such good luck?!"
This scene.
Left many people dumbfounded.
Their idealized image of Naruto shattered completely.
Uzumaki Naruto: "Ahem, that wasn't me, that was me being controlled by the whisper. I'm not like that anymore."
"What are you laughing at?" Ino and Sakura suddenly looked at Hinata, who was covering her mouth and giggling.
Little Hanabi was also full of curiosity.
"I... I don't know." Hinata quickly shook her head, her cheeks flushed.
"Oh~!"
"Are you thinking this?"
"Naruto from the black frame world is yours, and Naruto from the gold-rimmed glasses world is also yours?"
Ino immediately stated the reason for Hinata's secret smile.
Hinata: "..."
In the Pure Land World.
Kushina's eye twitched slightly.
Her dear son... why did he look like a bootlicker... Uchiha Mikoto also gave an awkward smile.
Uchiha Izumi, however, felt that the pairing of Naruto and Sasuke in this world was quite interesting.
But... soon everyone was dumbfounded.
[Sasuke and Naruto stared at each other, both with intense displeasure in their eyes.]
[However, just then.]
[Sasuke's front desk classmate got carried away chatting with his friends.]
[Completely unaware of the movement behind him.]
[He shouted, and then abruptly stood up.]
[Naruto, who was squatting in front of Sasuke with his butt sticking out, was caught off guard and couldn't dodge.]
[And was then bumped by Sasuke's front desk classmate.]
[Whether Naruto was squatting or standing on his tiptoes.]
[He lost his balance.]
[And his body tilted forward.]
[Sasuke narrowed his eyes slightly.]
[This dead last... wants to fight, huh?!]
[Bring it on!!!]
[Smack—]
[???]
[Naruto: "..."]
[Sasuke: "!!!!!!!!"]
[The girls instantly turned to stone.]
[The previously noisy classroom instantly fell silent.]
[Everyone's gaze converged on Naruto and Sasuke.]
[No, to be precise, it converged on Naruto and Sasuke's tightly pressed lips.]
[Sasuke and Naruto's first kisses were stolen by the person they hated the most.]
Uzumaki Kushina: "?????"
Uchiha Mikoto: "?????"
Question marks popped up above everyone's heads.
Huh?
That can't be real, right?
This eye-searing scene exceeded everyone's expectations.
Sasuke and Naruto instinctively exchanged glances.
And then.
Gag—
The memory surfaced in their minds.
The gold-framed big screen image froze at this instant.
Both simultaneously recalled the sensation from that time.
Immediately, their stomachs churned.
The Nine-Tailed Kitsune inside the Sealing Space nearly passed out.
The difference between the Jinchuriki of the black frame and gold-rimmed glasses worlds was so vast that it felt a little inferior.
Senju Hashirama: Hahaha~
Senju Hashirama: These two little guys are truly amusing.
Amusing my butt!
Uchiha Sasuke: "Shut up!"
Senju Tobirama: "..."
That's my line!
Naturally evil Uchiha!
Mei Terumī: "Ahem, little brother Naruto, it's alright, Big Sister doesn't mind."
Mei Terumī: "As long as you come to the Hidden Mist Village, Big Sister won't laugh at you."
Kurotsuchi: "Pfft~"
Fourth Raikage: "Hahaha~"
Fourth Raikage: "Our Hidden Cloud Village won't laugh at you either... Hahaha~"
Mabui: "It's alright, I don't mind."
Naruto's face turned completely red.
It turned out that the version of himself enslaved by the whisper was so unpresentable.
[Naruto and Sasuke froze for a few seconds.]
[Then they quickly separated, feeling nauseous and sick to their stomachs.]
["I'm going to kill you, Sasuke!!!"]
[The moment the words fell, all the girls rushed over.]
["I'm going to kill you, Naruto!!!"]
[Naruto: "..."]
[A moment later, the bruised and swollen Naruto behaved.]
[Next came the team assignments.]
[Iruka appeared, holding the roster.]
[He then announced the students' team assignments.]
[Team Ten: Nara Shikamaru, Ino Yamanaka, Akimichi Choji.]
[Team Eight: Hyuga Hinata, Inuzuka Kiba, Shino Aburame.]
[Team 7: Uzumaki Naruto, Uchiha Sasuke, Sakura Haruno.]
[The Jōnin Instructor were: Asuma Sarutobi, Kurenai Yuhi, and Kakashi Hatake.]
Ino Yamanaka: "It really is like that... disgusting!"
Nara Shikamaru: "What a drag."
They hadn't spent that much time together yet.
Team Ten's feelings for Asuma Sarutobi weren't particularly deep.
Moreover, the black frame world had exposed too much darkness.
Even if Asuma Sarutobi was very disgusted by it.
He had truly and undeniably enjoyed the benefits brought by his father.
Whether acknowledged or not, this was an indisputable fact.
