Darkening Naruto's self-cultivation

"Hello everyone, I am your teacher, Iruka."

Iruka wore a chuunin costume, combed his hair like a pineapple, and had a gentle smile on his face.

However, on his gentle face, there was a huge scar starting from the tip of his nose and spreading to the corner of his eye.

It is not difficult to see that he is a man who has experienced life and death.

Iruka quickly glanced at all the students.

When his eyes touched Naruto, he paused, with a look of hatred.

But as a teacher, he would naturally treat his classmates equally.

He took a deep breath, turned around and wrote his name on the blackboard.

Then he looked at the students and said, "Welcome to this new family. Here, we will live a happy life together and become excellent ninjas."

Seeing the excited expressions of the children, Iruka smiled slightly and said, "Now let's invite everyone to come on stage and introduce themselves. Names, hobbies, favorite things, and disliked foods are all fine."

After saying that, Iruka began to ask the students at the end of the classroom to come on stage one by one.

"Hello everyone, my name is Shiro Nagawa. I like sushi and hate wasabi. I want to become an upright man in the future."

"Hello everybody, my name is......."

Following the introductions of the students, it was soon Naruto's turn.

I saw Yamanaka Ino jumping up to the stage and said loudly and confidently: "Hello everyone, my name is Yamanaka Ino. I like flowers and chatting with friends..."

With Ino Yamanaka taking the lead, Sakura mustered up the courage to step forward.

Finally, it was Naruto and Sasuke's turn.

Snapped.

Naruto gave Sasuke a subtle push.

Sasuke stumbled and almost fell, so he took a step forward.

Being the center of attention, he was naturally blushing and slandering Naruto in his heart.

Sasuke stood on the stage awkwardly, then assumed an indifferent attitude.

"My name is Uchiha Sasuke. I like to train with my friends. I hate a lot of things. I want to be the strongest ninja in the future."

After saying that, Sasuke walked off the stage coolly.

This move immediately caused countless girls to scream.

Finally, it was Naruto's turn.

With everyone watching, Naruto slowly walked onto the stage.

He was still thinking about what he should say.

He is no longer the innocent self he used to be.

I have a lot of things I want now.

But there are also a lot of nasty ones...

People and things.

On the high-level side of Konoha, the elders and the third generation were watching everything that happened through crystal balls.

They were looking forward to Naruto's speech.

Follow the plan of the third generation...

Naruto will implement the will of fire and aspire to become Hokage.

He is Konoha's precious Nine-Tails Jinchuuriki, a potential combat power comparable to or even exceeding the Kage level.

Everyone is very concerned about Naruto's inner world.

The Nine-Tails Jinchuriki was a huge boost to Konoha.

But if it is not controlled properly, this help may very well turn out to be a backlash against Konoha.

Therefore, Naruto's psychological evaluation is crucial.

In the past few years, Naruto has changed tremendously.

From the low self-esteem before, but with the love for the village to the present...

He is gentle and reserved, but no one knows his inner world.

From the third generation's point of view, Naruto now made new friends and was immersed in training all day long.

He is less carefree than before and more restrained.

But it's not a good thing for Konoha.

An overly mature Naruto can easily develop new, unfavorable opinions about Konoha.

Naruto walked to the stage, looked at the expectant eyes of the audience, and showed a gentle smile.

"Hello everyone, my name is Uzumaki Naruto. I like to eat Ichiraku Ramen, read, and train with my friends."

"There is no one I particularly hate. I hope to be recognized by everyone and then become Hokage."

After saying that, Naruto smiled gently and walked off the stage.

"Come on Naruto-kun, you can definitely do it."

"So handsome."

The girls in the audience all whispered encouragement.

If little Naruto from the parallel world spoke like this, he would definitely receive all kinds of cynicism.

Sure enough, for girls, appearance is more important than anything else.

In this regard, Naruto could only express his helplessness.

In the Hokage's office at this moment.

Sandai picked up his pipe with satisfaction and started puffing away.

Naruto's growth was all part of his plan.

His bond with Konoha has become stronger and stronger.

Danzo on the other side looked disappointed.

He didn't understand why, in such an atmosphere of extreme disgust, Naruto not only didn't turn black, but even walked onto a new avenue.

For such a Naruto, Danzo could not find any reason to leave him.

"Uzumaki Naruto's future growth will be according to my plan, and I am confident that he will become the heir to the Will of Fire." Sarutobi Hiruzen said with a smile.

in the classroom

After introducing himself, Iruka started the first day of classes.

Because most of the students are civilians.

I have never received ninja-related training before.

So the first day's courses were mostly ninja common sense.

Naruto already knew these by heart.

After school, the students walked home under the leadership of their parents.

"Naruto-kun, Sasuke-kun, see you tomorrow." Ino and Sakura, led by their parents, reluctantly waved goodbye to the two of them.

Their parents didn't glare at Naruto.

Obviously, Naruto's good looks helped him.

"Sasuke, where's your brother?" Naruto and Sasuke were sitting on the swing, chatting.

Naruto planned to accompany Sasuke until his family came.

Sasuke looked in the direction of the school gate, "I don't know, I guess it will be here soon."

"I hope it comes soon. I plan to eat Ichiraku Ramen tonight." Naruto shrugged.

"Oh, if I hadn't had a celebration party today, I would have gone with you." Sasuke said with some regret.

In order to celebrate Sasuke's start of school, the Fugaku family specially cooked a lot of delicious dishes.

"Sasuke." At this time, a gentle man's voice sounded from behind the school gate.

It's Uchiha Itachi.

"Brother" Sasuke immediately jumped off the swing excitedly and ran towards Itachi.

Naruto immediately rolled his eyes and muttered under his breath.

"Still not friends, seeing my brother running away faster than a rabbit."

Over there, Sasuke was already holding Itachi's arm dependently, waving goodbye to Naruto.

Uchiha Itachi also nodded towards Naruto.

After Sasuke left, Naruto sighed.

I was left alone again.

He sat on the swing and stared at the fallen leaves on the ground in a daze.

Feeling the cold wind.

Sudden......

A little lonely.

In the ninja school, Iruka had just packed his bags and was ready to go home.

But when he reached the door, he was stunned.

He saw the lonely boy in the cold wind.

He remembered the boy's expression when he introduced himself.

Confident and cheerful.

What a stark contrast to who he is now.

perhaps......

This is the real him, right?

Iruka was silent, his expression was complicated, and he moved his steps.

He seemed to be hesitating.

But in the end, it turned into a long sigh.

He wrapped his clothes tightly, raised his collar, and walked out of the school gate as if he hadn't seen anything.
