Konoha's 55th year, in Konoha's Death Forest.
"Chi chi chi chi chi chi chi chi chi chi chi chi ~"
Five or six birds were hovering in the air, and then chirped and landed on little Naruto's shoulders, seemingly unaware of the human below him.
Little Naruto closed his eyes and sat cross-legged on the stone platform.
The whole person's breath is calm and peaceful, as if he is one with nature.
On the tree less than a hundred meters away from him, a man wearing a dog-face mask with long silver hair was sitting on the trunk.
He lowered his head and looked at the small book in his hand attentively.
"Intimate Paradise. Autographed Edition", this was the 18th birthday gift given to him by the person.
At this time, a black shadow suddenly appeared from a distance and entered the dense tree canopy.
"Inu-senpai."
The person who came was wearing a cat-face mask, black turtleneck short-sleeves and trousers, with brown armor on his right shoulder and a small sword on his back.
The most noteworthy thing is the "round fan" embroidered on the back of his clothes.
That is the emblem of the Uchiha clan.
The cat-faced ANBU glanced at the small book in the silver-haired ANBU's hand, and couldn't help but froze.
Is this the work of Jiraiya-sama? It seems to be a forbidden book...
"Um."
The silver-haired ANBU responded in a low voice before taking the small book back into his arms as if nothing had happened.
When he got up and was about to leave.
"Huh?"
Looking at the motionless little Naruto sitting cross-legged on the stone platform, the cat-faced ANBU asked in confusion: "Senior, why does Uzumaki Naruto keep sitting there?"
"Don't worry, Uzumaki Naruto will come here every day to meditate."
After finishing speaking, the silver-haired ANBU paused again, hesitated for a moment, and then warned: "You are just doing one day's work for that guy Ying, don't do unnecessary things."
The cat-faced mask was silent for a moment, and said in a bitter tone: "...I understand, senior."
Since the Nine-Tails Rebellion, the Uchiha clan has been pushed to the forefront.
Not only was the clan's territory "voluntarily" moved to the outskirts of Konoha, but the ANBU's functions also overlapped and conflicted with those of the security forces, which led to widespread resentment against Konoha's senior officials within the Uchiha clan.
In this depressing atmosphere, the Uchiha Guard actually engaged in several violent law enforcement incidents, and was once again ostracized by the villagers of Konoha.
It can be said that it is completely unpopular.
"But even under such circumstances, those radicals actually made rebellious voices, and clan meetings have become more and more frequent recently..."
The Uchiha clan's nerves are already tense, and they don't know when they will be completely broken.
Thinking of this, the cat-faced Anbu sighed secretly again, stretched out his hand and touched his eye sockets, feeling a little complicated. .
Time passes slowly, the sun goes down and the sky becomes dark.
At this time, little Naruto's shoulders were already covered with birds.
Being around Naruto made them instinctively feel reassured and comfortable.
"Huh~"
When the moon rose, little Naruto took a deep breath before slowly opening his eyes.
A trace of confusion flashed in his eyes, and he quickly regained his clarity.
"If you want to make your intention sincere, you must first know it; to know it, you must examine the object. Then you will know it, and after you know it, your intention will be sincere."
Menma's voice appeared in his mind again: "What does the eight eyes in "The Book of Rites - University" refer to?"
"Study things, seek knowledge, be sincere, have a correct mind, cultivate one's character, manage the family, govern the country, and bring peace to the world."
Little Naruto answered his questions seriously.
Self-cultivation refers to cultivating one's physical strength, while righteousness means to regulate the mind, get rid of all kinds of anxious emotions, and maintain peace of mind.
"Only cultivating one's body but not one's mind is just a puppet of power."
Menma said: "What I asked you to do may not be useful now, but it will be of great benefit to your future practice."
Whether accepting the power of the Nine Lamas or practicing in the sage mode, Naruto needs to have a firm will and a calm mind.
Moreover, Asura Chakra will also be absorbed by him bit by bit as he continues to hone his character.
Self-consciousness is the mother of progress, and self-abasement is the source of degradation. Therefore, self-consciousness is indispensable, and self-abasement is indispensable.
Menma also meditates and practices every day.
Not only to set an example for Naruto, but also to suppress the negative emotions in his heart.
As Naruto's opposite in the Tsukuyomi world, his negative emotions are rising every moment even if he escapes from the restrictions of the Tsukuyomi world.
It's like a leek, it loses one length and grows again.
"We need to get a few Sharingan eyes as soon as possible, otherwise all these negative emotions will be wasted."
Thinking of this, Menma focused on an ordinary tree in the distance.
The most powerful genjutsu [beyond the gods], Uchiha Shisui...
Although it sounded powerful, he really wasn't interested in this kind of genjutsu.
It's better to get a pair of three Magatama Sharingan yourself, and then find a way to come up with your own Mangekyou Eye Technique.
At the same time, the cat-faced ANBU hiding in the tree, Uchiha Shisui, also noticed Naruto's movements.
"Huh? How do you feel..."
Shisui frowned and scratched his head in confusion.
His keen intuition told him that something seemed to have changed in Uzumaki Naruto.
But he couldn't tell what was different.
"Little Naruto is not inferior to his father in terms of character and talent."
An old voice suddenly sounded under the tree, interrupting Shisui's thoughts.
He looked down in surprise.
I saw an old man wearing a Hokage robe, a Hokage hat, and a wrinkled face who didn't know when he appeared under the tree.
"Sandaime-sama! Why are you here?"
"Shhh."
Before Shisui could say anything, Sarutobi Hizu put his finger in front of his lips, and then pointed at Naruto over there.
Shisui's attention was also attracted,
I saw little Naruto standing by the stream, skillfully completing the seals with his hands and condensing chakra at his throat.
He didn't shout out the move, but the next second.
A powerful whirlwind spit out from his mouth, causing ripples on the river.
The remaining breeze blew through the forest, causing Shisui to feel a tingling sensation.
"It's really amazing."
Zhisui's eyes moved, and he exclaimed in amazement: "Can you perform C-level Wind Release and Great Breakthrough at such a young age and before you enter school?"
"Haha, when I extracted chakra, I suffered a lot. As a result, Naruto only used it for a few days."
Sarutobi nodded with a smile: "Naruto's talent is not bad, and he works hard enough. His future strength will not be lower than Minato."
"The Fourth Hokage, Minato Namikaze?"
Not sure what they thought of, Sarutobi Hiruzen and Shisui fell into silence at the same time.
If the fourth generation had not died, wouldn't everything be different?
maybe……
"Shisui."
Sarutobi Hiruzen smiled and asked in a gentle tone: "You have been joining ANBU for some time, right. Do you have any ideas?"
