"But it's not bad news. On the contrary, it's good news with no harm at all."
Sarutobi Hiruzen breathed a sigh of relief, but also felt a little happy.
I was still worried that the tailed beast seal in Naruto's body might be dangerous, but now it seems that I can relax a lot.
"With the Vajra seal of the Uzumaki clan, Naruto should be able to perfectly suppress the tailed beast in his body like Kushina in the future, without having to worry too much about the loosening of the seal."
You must know that Naruto is a male, and he will no longer be like the female jinchūriki like Uzumaki Mito and Uzumaki Kushina when they are pregnant. Most of the chakra will be used to nurture the fetus, causing the seal to loosen and give the tailed beast in the body an opportunity to take advantage.
In the long run, maybe one day, Naruto will be able to perfectly control the power of the tailed beasts like Rabbi Kiribi, the eight-tailed jinchuriki of Kumogakure Village, and become the most perfect nine-tailed jinchuriki in history.
"It seems like I still have to go see Naruto in person and help him unlock a layer of seals."
Sarutobi Hiruzen canceled the telescope technique and saw the photos of past Hokage hanging on the wall.
Looking at the face with blond hair and a smile as warm as the sun, Naruto's figure seemed to overlap perfectly with his.
Sarutobi Hiruzen couldn't help but sigh: "Minato, you have a good son!"
I will not let down your high expectations and will definitely make Naruto the inheritor of the Will of Fire.
…………
Ever since Naruto said "I want to be a great ninja like the Fourth Hokage, turn into flames like him, light up Konoha and warm everyone".
The Anbu who were responsible for monitoring him in the past never appeared again.
And just after Naruto broke out the King Kong blockade, Sarutobi Hiruzen did not continue to use the "Telescope Technique" to peek at him.
Perhaps it's because Sarutobi Hiruzen feels that Naruto, who has such a "will of fire" and has awakened the King Kong Blockade at the same time, no longer needs to be monitored.
And this gave Naruto a chance to sneak away.
After school, Naruto shook off the Uchiha "little tail" behind him as usual, and then came to the creek in the Death Forest as usual.
But the only difference is that he used the shadow clone technique.
Leaving the clone where he was, the main body followed Menma's guidance and walked towards the secret laboratory.
It wasn't until they reached the border of Konoha that Menma's figure appeared next to Naruto.
"Oh!"
Naruto was also surprised when he saw his shadow clone losing contact and changing its appearance to that of Brother Menma.
This was the first time he saw Brother Menma in reality, and he felt a different sense of novelty.
"Brother Menma, is this how you always go out?"
Menma walked in front and nodded slightly.
Kakakka~
Opening a stone door, the two of them continued down the stairs.
"Brother Menma, where is this..."
Looking at this gloomy underground base, Naruto could not help but feel a little uneasy.
Orochimaru's style of building secret laboratories has always been simple and crude, and everything is just pragmatic.
"This is my base for research, and it's also where I prepare birthday gifts for you."
Menma walked in front and glanced back at Naruto: "Aren't you usually quite courageous? Why are you so timid here?"
"Hey hey hey..."
Naruto scratched his head and smiled awkwardly: "I don't know why, I always feel cold."
Moreover, he smelled a very pungent smell of blood.
Menma also knew why Naruto reacted like this, but he just shook his head and said nothing more.
This time I brought Naruto here, in addition to giving him a birthday gift, I also wanted to let Naruto see red.
Soon the two reached the end.
But when Naruto saw the inside of the laboratory, he immediately shuddered.
He finally understood where the bloody smell came from...
I saw various human organs displayed inside, and there was a body on the operating table. It was dripping with blood, and I didn't know whether it was dead or alive.
"..."
The strong smell and the shocking image made Naruto try his best not to spit it out on the spot.
"Sorry, Brother Menma..."
This was indeed a bit exciting for him, but fortunately he could hold on.
"Naruto."
Menma suddenly said: "It might be dangerous later, are you sure you want to accept this gift?"
Naruto was stunned for a moment when he heard this, but after he came to his senses, he scratched his head and said, "Don't worry, Brother Menma, I'm ready to wake up."
Menma and Naruto looked at each other and nodded slightly after a moment.
How can human experimentation be completely without danger?
But everything was under control, he just wanted to see Naruto's determination.
"Then let's get started. You lie down on the operating table."
After Menma finished speaking, he turned around and walked to the shelf filled with bottles and cans.
Naruto looked at the person on the operating table who didn't know whether he was dead or alive, and finally walked over.
However, when he put his finger to the man's nose and felt his breath, Naruto couldn't help his scalp tingling and taking a breath of cold air.
This person is still alive...
However, Naruto was just stunned for a moment and looked at Brother Menma, who had his back turned to him. He quickly reacted.
So, are you going to kill this person?
Kill this stranger you've never met?
"Huh~"
Naruto took a deep breath, picked up the scalpel on the side, and his eyes became firm.
He didn't know who the still-living guy in front of him was.
We don’t know if he has a family, and we don’t know if he is evil or good.
Naruto understood that once he swung this sword, his hands would be stained with other blood, and there would be no turning back.
But... just saying nice words can't change anything.
"Feel sorry."
Naruto whispered, and then the scalpel cleanly slit the throat of the man in front of him.
Poof!
Menma stood in front of the shelf and closed his eyes slightly when he heard the voice behind him.
"Killing you has nothing to do with you."
He didn't tell Naruto that the person on the operating table was just a death row prisoner.
Even if I tell you, what's the point?
How can there be intact eggs under the overturned nest? How can one survive in troubled times?
Naruto has the consciousness to be killed, then he has the right to shoot.
"Menma-nii."
Naruto's tone was a little cold, but Menma could hear his fear.
"Why do people fight with each other in this world?"
Menma was not surprised when he heard this question.
This is a problem that everyone with the ability to think independently will encounter.
Uchiha Itachi also encountered this problem.
But he didn't get the answer to the question from Uchiha Fugaku and Uchiha Shisui.
And his final ending...
Menma said calmly: "Because unfortunate people always create people who are more unfortunate than themselves, because evil brings good people together, but no one feels that they are the evil party."
After finishing his words, Menma turned to look at Naruto.
"Naruto, this may be the last lesson I teach you."
