As expected.
No, it should be said that the answers had already been written down long ago.
Everyone was not surprised by this.
Likewise.
Black-Framed Naruto was not surprised either.
["If the Old Thing plans to teach me personally... then it's already been decided."]
["The Professor of Ninjutsu?"]
["Aside from the shuriken Shadow Clone Jutsu, some powerful Ninjutsu, and forbidden techniques..."]
["I don't need to worry too much."]
["Learning a lot doesn't necessarily mean much."]
[Naruto thought to himself, then connected his spirit to the Sealing Space.]
[He said a few words, but the Great Fox kept its back turned to him the whole time.]
[This tsundere Scum Fox.]
[Naruto chuckled and didn't continue to bother the Great Fox.]
[Rather than wasting time on those optional Ninjutsu...]
[...it was better to spend more time studying the derivative techniques of the Rasengan and the nature transformation of Chakra.]
[At this point, Naruto could easily pass not just the Chunin exam, but even the standard Konoha Jonin assessment.]
[A short while later.]
[Under Kakashi's lead, Team 7 arrived at the Hokage Office.]
[Not bad.]
[This year's rookie teams—]
[Team 7, Team Eight, and Team Ten—were all at the Hokage Office to receive their missions.]
[Others could just go to the Mission Hall to collect theirs.]
[Later, even Team Guy did the same.]
[After all, Might Guy listened to Kakashi most of the time.]
[Moreover, Team Guy's foundation was excellent; it was almost certain that another Ninja who mastered the Eight Gates would emerge in the future.]
["It's Team 7... let me see what mission is suitable for you."]
[Hiruzen Sarutobi looked at the incoming Team 7. His gaze lingered on Naruto's face for a few seconds as he gave a kind smile, then he looked down to check the missions.]
[Before long, he pulled out an information sheet.]
["Let's go with this mission."]
[Sasuke glanced at it. Seeing 'D' written on it, he lost all interest.]
[Naruto and Sakura, however, were somewhat interested.]
[What a fat cat!]
["Well, rookies are all like this. Team 7 accepts this mission."]
[Kakashi didn't waste words; he accepted the mission directly and then led Team 7 out the door.]
Sakura Haruno: "Is it this mission?"
Uzumaki Naruto: "No, the first mission we did wasn't this one."
Uchiha Sasuke: "The development is different; it's impossible for everything to be the same."
Sakura Haruno: "The first time we did this mission, it really stumped us for quite a while."
Uzumaki Naruto: "The us in the black frame world shouldn't feel troubled by it."
Uzumaki Naruto: "If the me in the black frame world has learned the Multiple Shadow Clone Jutsu, I bet I could finish these D-rank missions in a single day."
Naturally, such a situation wouldn't be allowed to happen.
There were quite a few D-rank missions.
But every Ninja had a daily limit on how many they could take.
After all, these things were like a basic subsistence allowance.
["Kakashi, where's my Ninjutsu?"]
[Walking out of the Hokage Building, Sasuke couldn't help but ask.]
[If there were suitable Ninjutsu, then wasting time on this kind of mission wouldn't be unacceptable.]
[Kakashi: "..."]
[He narrowed his eyes and said with a chuckle, "Use honorifics."]
["Heh." Sasuke crossed his arms and let out a cold laugh.]
[Thud—]
[Kakashi wasn't going to indulge him and kicked him right in the butt.]
["If you don't want to do it, then get lost."]
[He looked completely indifferent.]
Kakashi: "???"
Would I really be like that?
Uh... is the change brought by Black-Framed Naruto really that big?
Might Guy: "Hmm?!"
Might Guy: "How come this feels a bit like the old Kakashi?"
What kind of feel?
Kakashi's eye twitched.
Watch your wording!
Kurenai Yuhi: "It's true. Although Kakashi used to be a man of few words, he still had the temper and pride a genius youth should have."
Anko Mitarashi: "Combined with his growth over the years... putting it all together... no wonder he dares to laugh out loud so shamelessly while reading that trashy book!"
[Sasuke was stunned.]
[Immediately after, anger surged up within him.]
["It's too early for you to train."]
["Of course, the most important thing is that I haven't found a Ninjutsu suitable for you."]
[Crackle—]
[The moment the words fell.]
[A large amount of Lightning Chakra appeared in Kakashi's hand.]
[Then, a piercing chirping sound rang out.]
[Chidori!]
[Sasuke's pupils shrank violently.]
[Naruto was also taken aback.]
[This technique... Chidori?]
[A product developed with reference to the Fourth Hokage Minato Namikaze's Rasengan.]
[Minato Namikaze also had a hand in it.]
["If I really can't find anything, I'll have to teach you this. But as for you right now... it's tough!"]
[Kakashi looked down at Sasuke.]
[Instantly, Sasuke's face turned red with frustration.]
[Looking at Kakashi's eyes, he gritted his teeth and didn't say any more harsh words.]
[This technique... he was captivated by it.]
[Of course, how could the current Kakashi be so easy to talk to?]
["This technique was something I developed myself shortly after I became a Jonin."]
["By the way, I was already a Jonin when I was twelve."]
[Kakashi glanced at Sasuke.]
[Looking at this poor kid who claimed to be a genius but was constantly being knocked down a peg.]
[He didn't have the slightest intention of showing mercy.]
[A troublemaker?]
[Are you more of a troublemaker than I was?]
[I specialize in dealing with all kinds of defiance!]
["Go perform the mission; I'll wait for you here."]
["Finish the mission first. We'll talk about the rest later."]
[With that, Kakashi pulled out his little imperial uncle and ignored everyone.]
[The corners of Naruto's mouth curled slightly.]
[Today's Kakashi seemed like a different person compared to yesterday's.]
[However, it was also easy to understand.]
["Let's go."]
[Saying so, Naruto walked toward the mission client's house.]
[Sasuke didn't say a word, and Sakura naturally followed obediently by Naruto's side.]
[Naruto gave a faint smile.]
[A cold glint flashed through Kakashi's eyes.]
[From the moment they left the Hokage Building, there had been Ninjas monitoring them.]
[From that feeling, Naruto immediately recognized their identity.]
[They weren't Anbu, but the Root Organization.]
[Kakashi had also been acting intentionally just now.]
[Suddenly releasing Chidori was also a form of warning.]
[As for the effect, it was there.]
[Those Root Organization Ninja retreated quite a distance.]
[Sasuke and Sakura naturally knew nothing of this.]
[After clarifying the mission details.]
[Sasuke didn't say a word and turned his head to start searching.]
["Sasuke, you do this mission."]
[Sasuke frowned slightly and looked back at Naruto.]
[Why?]
[He didn't ask it out loud, but Sasuke believed Naruto understood what he meant.]
["Sakura, you go to the Konoha Hospital first and learn the basics. Once the mission is done and Kakashi-sensei finishes submitting it, we'll gather."]
["From now on, this is how we'll allocate our time."]
["A D-rank mission doesn't need to waste three people's time."]
["Okay~"] [Sakura didn't ask, gave Sasuke a glance, and then obediently turned to leave, heading toward the Konoha Hospital.]
["Don't ask, just go search. Be patient, don't rush—this is your mission for now."]
["When the time is right, I'll help you master the Sharingan."]
[Only then did Naruto look at Sasuke.]
[Sasuke's frown deepened.]
[Finally, he took a deep breath.]
[He turned and left.]
[He didn't run, but walked away slowly.]
["I know you're anxious, but don't be anxious just yet."]
[Watching Sasuke's back, Naruto didn't stay and turned to find Kakashi.]
["One week, at most one week."]
[After the Root Organization Ninja left, Kakashi spoke seriously.]
["No rush, as long as it's confirmed."] [Naruto nodded slightly.]
[Poof—]
[He left a Shadow Clone.]
["Well then, I'll leave Sasuke and Sakura to you."]
["In a hurry?"] [Kakashi frowned slightly.]
["Be careful."] [But Kakashi didn't stop him either.]
[Naruto replied with a smile: "I'll observe the situation first; I won't be reckless."]
[Whoosh—]
[As the words fell, Naruto vanished from the spot, heading in the direction where the Root Organization Ninja had left.]
