The Third Hokage Starts to Act, Let's Send Some Warmth

Shock!

There was Naruto, surrounded by multiple shadow clone shurikens, creating an incredible scene.

Then, his shurikens swept across the forest.

The ninja audience had a variety of expressions, each of them stunned like a statue.

There is truly a difference between people.

Hashirama: "Amazing, seven-year-old Naruto is a hundred times stronger than me."

Madara: "He's just using the power of the Nine Tails. If I hadn't led the Nine Tails home, would he have acted like this?"

Tobirama: "Madara! You better clarify that. You were attacking Konoha Village with the Nine Tails, not hosting a guest at home. Don't make it sound like you were sending the Nine Tails off."

But Madara lost to Hashirama, so Konoha gained a Nine Tails.

His actions don't seem much different from giving away the Nine Tails, right?

Ino: "Strong, so strong, is Naruto in that world really that terrifying?"

Sakura: "Ino, don't be afraid, they just said it's the power of the Nine-Tails."

Kakashi: "No, it's not just about the Nine Tails. Controlling that power is a whole other level. Naruto himself is very strong."

Rin: "If Naruto can use his chakra smoothly, even without the Nine-Tails, he should still be very powerful, at least not weaker than this. After all, he's the child of Minato-sensei and Kushina-san."

Rin!

After waiting so long for Nohara Rin's appearance, Obito's frozen heart suddenly trembled.

Seeing his excitement turn into silence, Black Zetsu curled his lips: 'Humph! Sure enough, he's cowardly as ever.'

While everyone marveled at Naruto's strength, he himself remained quiet.

Then, his expression turned somber.

Naruto: "Hey, but he misunderstood his father. He thought his parents abandoned him. That feeling must be awful."

Kushina: "Talking about this makes me so angry. Back then, the old man, the Third Hokage, promised me he would take good care of Naruto, but the news about him being a Jinchūriki leaked. He never mentioned it. When the child asked him about his parents, why did he hide the truth?"

Hiruzen: "..."

Hiruzen's mind raced, just as Orochimaru was about to speak.

Hiruzen suddenly had a flash of inspiration.

Hiruzen: "If I told Naruto the truth, think about the result. The Fourth Hokage's intention was to seal the Nine Tails completely. The Nine Tails resides in Naruto. Wouldn't he then blame the Fourth Hokage, and feel even more pain? Sometimes, knowing the truth doesn't bring happiness."

Good argument!

Orochimaru was stunned, secretly giving a thumbs up.

Indeed, there's always something to learn from my teacher.

Naruto: "But the situation in the other world isn't heading in a good direction. I feel like he has a strong opinion against the village over there."

Hiruzen: "Hey! Naruto, that's where you're better than the other Naruto. He doesn't understand the Will of Fire, and he might end up a lonely person."

There was a moment of silence.

Naruto: "He seems stronger than me, at least he can bear loneliness, but I can sense he's not a cold person, and..."

Naruto: "His thoughts are sharper than mine. He's already starting to suspect that the Fourth Hokage might be his father, and he might be considering the Nine Tails' seal. He's only seven years old. I couldn't accept it when I was twelve. How did he manage? He has endured much more than I have."

Naruto's explanation left everyone speechless.

They couldn't find any words to refute Naruto's point of view.

It's true that Naruto in that world has much stronger endurance and character than most.

Onoki: "That kid, he's not only smart, but his greatest strength is his ability to endure."

Mei: "Endurance! The more you endure, the more terrifying it is when you finally break."

Fourth Raikage: "I have a bad feeling. Now isn't the time to laugh at the Third Hokage. We might all be next."

Rasa: "Let's not discuss that for now; the Third Hokage is making a move again."

[Hiruzen sits in his office with a pipe in his mouth, a serious expression on his aged face.]

[He had just dealt with matters concerning the Uchiha clan, but another problem arose.]

[After listening to Yugao's report, Hiruzen repeatedly asked if Naruto displayed any other abnormal behaviors.]

[Upon learning that there was no sign of chakra overflow and that Naruto appeared a bit tired after using his jutsu...]

[Hiruzen's thoughts suddenly became clear.]

[This is undoubtedly the result of overexertion caused by anger.]

[After all, Naruto is from the Uzumaki clan, and it's a terrifying thing when they expel chakra in bursts.]

["Hehe, I didn't expect that little guy to have mastered the Shuriken Shadow Clone Technique."]

[Hiruzen muttered to himself, pulling out another scroll from his drawer.]

[...]

This scene immediately made Naruto narrow his eyes.

Naruto: "Hey! Is this old man going to give out gifts again? Why? I don't accept it. I take back my pity for that guy just now. I'm much more pitiful than he is."

Hiruzen: "Naruto, that's the Third Hokage from the other world. Our Third Hokage isn't like that."

Orochimaru: "Hahaha, I really enjoy this. Old man, don't think I don't know. The Shuriken Shadow Clone Jutsu was specifically chosen by you for your apprentice to learn, aiming to train a Hokage to inherit your legacy. I bet, the Third Hokage over there will definitely talk to Naruto about the Hokage role when they meet. You're just building up your own power."

Naruto: "What! And this too? Damn it, stop talking about it, it's making me jealous!"
