"Forget it, I'll stop lecturing you."
"Go home and review your performance properly."
Naruto curled the corners of his mouth and said helplessly.
He was even starting to wonder if he was being too harsh on Sasuke, or if he was pushing him too hard.
'Well, now that I thought about it...'
'I am the biggest cheater in this world.'
'Not only does I have the strongest Biju, Kurama, in my body, but I also has a massive amount of Chakra from the Uzumaki Clan's bloodline.'
'Plus, I also have my own system...'
'As to whether I still have Ashura Chakra in his body, it is unknown.'
'On the other hand, Sasuke has Indra's Chakra Reincarnation, the basic Sharingan cheat, an external support system in Itachi, and the Cursed seal on Orochimaru.'
'To be honest, Sasuke's strength growth rate in the early stage was really average.'
'No wonder he had to go study abroad under Orochimaru.'
'Moreover, his cheats wouldn't unlock until after the War Arc, when he awakened the Mangekyo Sharingan.'
Just as Naruto was pondering how to map out Sasuke's career path, Sasuke spoke first.
"Naruto, open a portal."
"I'm going back to the river to train."
"Um…"
Hearing Sasuke speak, Sakura timidly raised her hand, and the two boys turned to look at her simultaneously.
"Can... can I train with you guys...?"
"After all... we are teammates now."
Naruto didn't voice an opinion, but instead turned to look at Sasuke to see what this guy had to say.
"Whatever."
Sasuke didn't care. After all, having a pink-haired girl wouldn't affect his and Naruto's training.
As long as she doesn't bother him, it will be fine.
Naruto also didn't care. After hearing Sasuke's agreement, he directly threw out a portal.
Sasuke rushed in before the portal was fully opened, but Sakura hesitated for two seconds before following him in.
At the same time, she was secretly delighted.
'This is great!'
'From now on, I'll be able to train with Sasuke-kun!'
"Hey! You two! Don't forget to take that team photo today!"
"Kakashi-sensei said it's due tomorrow!"
Seeing how eager they were to leave, Naruto quickly reminded them.
But by the time he finished speaking, the portal had disappeared, and he didn't know whether the two of them had heard his words.
Naruto felt a little excited when he thought that he would officially become a Shinobi tomorrow.
After all, since the first day he came into this world, he had been fantasizing about the moment when he became a Shinobi.
It also meant the Naruto's main storyline was about to begin.
Slowly raising his hand, Naruto made a grasping motion toward the sun and muttered under his breath.
"Just you wait..."
"Uchiha Obito, your day of reckoning is coming!"
Naruto still held a grudge against that bastard Obito.
While his parents in this world were killed by Obito, Naruto had never even seen their faces clearly.
Claiming that he had some deep emotional attachment would be a stretch.
Whenever Naruto felt curious about them, he would go to sit on the face of the Yondaime Hokage on Hokage Rock for a while.
But the statue's features were too vague to make out...
However, based on the moral compass of his previous life, Naruto still holds the irreconcilable hatred for the murderer of his father and mother.
But the real reason is...
At that time, when Obito had held him, Naruto had genuinely felt the threat of death!
Although he had realized that he had transmigrated to the Naruto World at that time, who knew if his presence would change things?
At that time, he had just transmigrated and had finally escaped from the life of a corporate slave. Dying at Obito's hands would've been the ultimate joke..
Recalling that moment, Naruto became more and more looking forward to his future journey as a Shinobi.
"Okay! Let's take the photo first!"
"Then go to Otsutsuki Ichiraku's and try some ramen!"
After arranging today's schedule, Naruto asked for leave from Kurama-sensei, and tossed a portal on the spot to go find Hinata first.
…
Hokage's Office.
An empty bottle was placed in front of Hiruzen.
"Is everything you said true?"
With his usual deadpan expression, Kakashi said helplessly, "Yes…"
"The moment I drank it, I found that my arm had recovered and I immediately went to the hospital to confirm it."
"The Medical-nin said that not only has my arm recovered, but the hidden injuries I had previously sustained are gone."
Kakashi was really surprised by the potion Naruto gave him.
When he first left the training grounds for the hospital, he hadn't thought much of it.
He was familiar with Naruto's strange Kekkei Genkai.
He can conjure up all kinds of weird stuff, but very few were actually useful for Shinobi.
It cannot be said that they are completely useless, it can only be said that they are hardly practical.
If he hadn't been so thirsty after the fight, and if the potion hadn't been the only thing on hand, he wouldn't have even considered drinking it.
But after drinking it, he found that his injuries were healed.
Realizing how significant this was, Kakashi first went to the hospital for a full checkup, and then ran to Hiruzen to report the situation.
Hiruzen took a long drag from his pipe, and slowly blew out a puff of smoke.
"Kakashi… what do you make of this?"
Kakashi was slightly stunned when he heard this.
'What do I make of it?
Kakashi actually has mixed feelings about his current recovery from his injuries.
If he were being completely honest…
He'd rather have taken a few months off to recuperate in the village, and just leave Team 7 to their own devices.
As for taking Naruto outside the village on missions?
That was just asking for disaster.
But now that his injuries have healed, it means that he has to lead them on missions again.
'...I'm so tired. '
'I just want to read at home.'
However, he still has to answer his superior's questions.
Kakashi thought back to what happened and began to report to Hiruzen, "This potion that Naruto gave me..."
"It seems to contain both Yin and Yang Chakra."
"The moment I drank it, I felt immediate restoration… both physically and mentally."
Kakashi paused again at this point, then continued, "But I don't think Naruto has many of these things."
"Otherwise, he would've used them before."
Hiruzen nodded in agreement after hearing Kakashi's report.
He had received a report from the Anbu before that Naruto had pushed himself to near-death multiple times while training his Wind Release: Bloodburst Technique.
Even though he is the Kyubi's Jinchuriki and had the Uzumaki Clan's physique, he still has to stay in the hospital for ten days to half a month.
If he'd had this kind of miracle potion, he would've used it by now.
"Huff…"
Hiruzen exhaled another cloud of smoke. After thinking for a while, he said, "I will ask the Anbu to keep this a secret, and it will be classified as the village's top secret."
"When you get back, discreetly ask Naruto about the potion."
"Yes, Sandaime-sama."
Hiruzen nodded and was about to wave Kakashi away when he suddenly grasped the key point of Kakashi's previous words.
"Wait…!?"
"Kakashi, you mean..."
"You were injured by Naruto during the test?"
"And your arm was broken?"
Hiruzen's eyes widened in disbelief.
'No way?'
'Did that kid actually master Taijutsu?!'
Hearing this, Kakashi's face twitched.
He'd thought he could avoid this humiliation, but he didn't expect that Hiruzen only noticed this problem at this time.
"...Yes."
Kakashi didn't explain much. Right now, he just wanted to go back and have a good rest.
When Hiruzen heard his answer, he looked at Kakashi's indifferent expression and remained silent for a while.
After a long time, Hiruzen finally spoke: "Kakashi… you've grown lazy over the years."
"Your father and Minato wouldn't have wanted to see you like this."
Kakashi: "..."
"Do you want to go and see how freaky Naruto is?!'
'This isn't a me problem!'
Suddenly being called out by Hiruzen, Kakashi felt deeply wronged.
