In Konoha, my ninja cat is invincible!

"Uncle, let's forget it for today. I have something to do with Naruto."

Tate looked at Naruto with a hint of worry in his eyes.

"Shiraishi, Naruto..."

"Don't worry, uncle. It's a good thing for Naruto."

You can feel relieved when you hit it by hand.

Uzumaki Naruto looked at Shiraishi with confusion in his eyes.

Naruto had met Shiraishi before.

But at that time, due to Uchiha's situation in the village and Naruto's specialness, Shiraishi had no close contact with Naruto.

At this time, Naruto's favorability level for Shiraishi was still 25.

"Naruto, can we chat?"

Naruto hesitated and nodded.

Shiraishi walked out with Naruto.

"Father, the village won't do anything to Naruto, right?"

Many people know the identity of Naruto's Jinchuuriki.

One demon fox shouted at a time.

If the demon fox is not the Nine-Tails, what is it?

Because of Naruto's identity as a demon fox, Acorus and Tetra are somewhat wary of Naruto's potential tail beast outbreak, but they are not disgusted with Naruto, they just feel pity for him.

The situation in the village has changed dramatically recently, and Acorus is worried that the village may want to impose some restrictions on Naruto.

For example, incarceration.

Shou Da shook his head.

"Since Shiraishi said it's okay, then it must be okay. If Naruto is to be imprisoned, Shiraishi doesn't need to take action at all. It would be much more efficient to let other ninjas take action to capture him directly."

A bench.

Shiraishi sat down on the bench.

Yamato stood nearby.

"Naruto, sit down."

Naruto sat down on the other end of the bench.

"Senior, are you looking for me for something?"

Naruto was a little uneasy. In the past, Naruto had always hoped that something good would happen to him and that he could escape this unfortunate fate, but now, Naruto has given up.

Even in Shiraishi's eyes, Naruto did not see any disgust for himself.

In the past, Naruto felt that Uchiha, like himself, was a being that the villagers resisted and hated.

But now, Naruto found that the situation had changed.

The Uchiha became very popular.

When the villagers mentioned Uchiha and looked at Uchiha people, they all showed respect in their eyes.

But I am still the same.

"A preschool has been set up in the village specifically to cultivate geniuses. I am in charge of this project. Someone recommended you to me. Naruto, do you think you are a genius?"

Naruto froze suddenly.

"Genius? Me? Who would recommend me?"

Naruto couldn't even think of it, no matter how hard he thought, there were very few people in the village that Naruto could get close to. Even Shou Da and Iris were at the top of the list, but they were just ordinary people.

This kind of preschool is definitely not recommended by ordinary people.

"I have no idea."

Naruto lowered his head.

Naruto didn't want to deny himself, but, genius? When thinking of these two words, Naruto's mind would be replaced by two other words - monster.

Shiraishi shook his head.

Naruto in this state, even if he enters preschool, will definitely become a prank version in the time ahead. This is not what Shiraishi wants to see.

Whether it was Naruto's increased strength or his increased favorability towards Shiraishi, it was not good.

Shiraishi decided to stimulate Naruto.

"A long time ago, Naruto, I knew about your existence."

"People call you a fox, a monster."

"Your situation is very similar to the situation we Uchiha were in before."

"However, everything can be changed."

"Naruto, don't live by what other people say, and don't let other people affect you. Since that senior thinks Naruto is a genius, his judgment should not be wrong."

"As long as you work hard enough."

"As long as you are strong enough."

"Then everything changes."

"Or are you saying, Naruto, that you have lost your self-confidence and have resigned yourself to your fate? Are you planning to become what people call a monster and live your life forever in the eyes of everyone with disgust?"

Naruto retorted subconsciously.

"I don't……"

But then, Naruto's eyes darkened again.

"But what if I really am a monster?"

Shiraishi glanced at Naruto lightly.

"So Naruto, what do you think a monster is?"

Naruto didn't answer.

"If you don't have a specific idea, why don't I give you two examples. One is that it is huge, looks like a fox, has huge power, and can cause great damage to the village with a single blow."

"Just like Wan She before."

"The other one is human."

Naruto said: "Of course it's the former."

Shiraishi continued.

"Okay, then what if this giant fox controlled his power and didn't hurt anyone, and even stood up when the village was in danger, just like Naruto."

"And that human betrayed the village and used ninjutsu to attack the village, causing hundreds of casualties in the village. Which of the two is the monster?"

Naruto opened his mouth, thinking quickly.

Judging from the appearance, the former is undoubtedly the monster.

But, does a monster who protects the village still need to be hated? ?

Is a human being who attacks a village still worthy of recognition?

"And Naruto, if you are really a monster, why didn't the village capture you for so many years? Instead of killing you, they let you live freely?"

"Don't worry about what other people think of you. Come to the preschool tomorrow to report. In the preschool, you have only one identity, and that is my student."

"I hope you won't let down the person who recommended you."

"Don't let yourself down."

Shiraishi patted Naruto's shoulder and stood up.

"Naruto, I'm very optimistic about you, come on."

There were too many names on the recommendation list, and it took Shiraishi three full days just to visit them one by one. However, these three days were fruitful for Shiraishi.

When we meet for the first time, there are not so many students together, so it is easy to leave a good impression on these people.

With a good start and Shiraishi increasing the favorability of these people, it will be smoother.

Naruto looked at Shiraishi's back and froze on the bench.

It took a long time before he came back to his senses.

"Are there people in this world who still recognize me and don't regard me as a monster?"

Naruto raised his head and smiled.

"I will definitely work hard!"

"must!"

The next day, early in the morning, Shiraishi came to the door of the preschool.

But there are students who came earlier than Shiraishi.

Some came by themselves.

Others are accompanied by their parents or elders.

"Parents, just send them here. The next week will be a pre-school test. I will try my best to test out all their talents."
