Konoha: I, Uzumaki Sukuna, become stronger when I turn evil!

Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at Naruto with a depressed look on his face, and spoke after a while:

"I have heard about this matter."

"The student has woken up and admitted that he was the first to bring people to trouble you."

"His parents also promised that he would not bully you again."

"Really?"

When Naruto heard this, he immediately raised his head happily.

"Thank you! Grandpa Hokage!"

Naruto's relieved and sincere eyes made Sarutobi Hiruzen frown slightly.

Because even he could not see any flaws on Naruto's face.

This is no wonder.

Lin Kong knew that it was too unrealistic for Naruto, a child, to lie and act in front of a 'veteran' like Sarutobi Hiruzen without being discovered.

Instead of making up lies, it is better to tell the truth and express your true feelings.

As it turned out, this did dispel most of Sarutobi Hiruzen's suspicions about Naruto.

However, Sarutobi Hiruzen seemed to be a little "unwilling", and finally asked:

"Besides this matter, do you have nothing else to tell me?"

Naruto slowly shook his head when he heard this.

Seeing this, Sarutobi Hiruzen stopped testing Naruto.

He stood up, his eyes gradually became gentle, and he reached out and touched Naruto's head and said:

"Okay, I still have things to deal with."

"You eat first!"

After saying this, Sarutobi Hiruzen turned around and left Naruto's house.

On the other hand, Naruto, after watching Sarutobi Hiruzen leave, his tense nerves suddenly relaxed, and he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

At the same time, he also said with a guilty look on his face:

"Grandpa Hokage is so good to me, and I lied to him..."

"Is it wrong for me to do this?"

Lin Kong in the spiritual world heard this and said coldly:

"You are still too weak now!"

"When you have absolute strength, naturally... I am the only one in the world!"

The reason why Naruto has been bullied so much is that his strength is too weak.

As long as the strength is strong enough, those scolding and doubting voices... will naturally disappear.

Whoever is not convinced, then beat them until they are convinced!

Whoever dares to doubt him, then erase all these doubting voices!

Lin Kong doesn't mind Naruto wanting to become the 'shadow' of Konoha Village, but he will never let him become a 'shadow' with a heart of saintliness overflowing and catering to the image of a hero in everyone's mind.

The shadow of Konoha should act decisively and kill decisively!

Naruto nodded as if he understood.

"Get ready, I'm going to start teaching you how to practice."

Lin Kong then said to Naruto.

"Yes!!"

When Naruto heard that he was going to practice to become stronger, his complicated emotions were instantly forgotten, and he agreed with expectation.

He quickly ate the remaining buns.

After packing up, he began his daily physical training.

It's called physical training, but it's actually the most basic physical training.

Only when Naruto's body becomes strong enough, Lin Kong can exert his full strength more unscrupulously when borrowing it.

Instead of just borrowing the body once like yesterday, without engaging in a fierce battle.

As a result, after the body was returned to Naruto, Naruto collapsed on the spot!

After leaving home, Naruto immediately began to run around the village.

...

Hokage Building.

Sarutobi Hiruzen and his subordinate Lin Yue have returned here.

"Hokage-sama."

"Kyuubi Jinchuriki... is there really no problem?"

Lin Yue asked Sarutobi Hiruzen curiously.

Sarutobi Hiruzen nodded after a slight hesitation.

The whole process of talking with Naruto just now appeared in his mind.

Although Naruto's performance was a bit strange, and the intervals between answering questions were a little longer.

But overall, he didn't look like he was lying.

He was also confident. How could a child who hadn't even graduated from a ninja school lie under his pressure?

Seeing this, Lin Yue was even more confused.

"If it's not the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, then who could it be?"

"We have followed your instructions to strengthen patrols and searches around the village."

"But until now, there has been no sign that a mysterious strong man has come to Konoha."

Lin Yue glanced at Sarutobi Hiruzen, and continued with a puzzled look:

"What I don't understand the most is what the other party's purpose is?"

"Come to Konoha specifically just to kill three patrol members?"

Lin Yue's words also made Sarutobi Hiruzen fall into deep thought.

This is also what he doesn't understand the most.

The other party appeared in Konoha so blatantly, and was very confident that he would not deal with the murder scene.

It was so high-profile, just to kill three patrol members?

Others killed people so high-profile, at least for the bounty of the black market in various parts of the ninja world.

For example, his son Sarutobi Asuma has always been rewarded by the black market.

Including other powerful ninjas in the village.

But these three patrol members are just ordinary Chunin.

"No!"

Sarutobi Hiruzen seemed to have suddenly thought of something, and his expression suddenly became serious.

"Naruto said that after he injured that classmate, he practiced outside the village."

"The 'murderer' happened to appear during this time period."

"Then the other party's target... could it be Naruto?"

"It was just because he was encountered by the patrol team that he was killed to silence him!"

Sarutobi Hiruzen instantly felt like he had suddenly realized something!

It is not a secret in the ninja world that Naruto is the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki.

Combined with Naruto's words and the time when the 'murderer' appeared.

Sarutobi Hiruzen wondered if the other party was coming for Naruto.

To be precise, they were coming for the Nine-Tails!

It was just that the three members of the patrol team were unlucky and happened to find the other party, which led to their death.

Sarutobi Hiruzen's eyes lit up, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt that this was the case.

If the target was the Nine-Tails, then the appearance of a mysterious strong man would make sense.

When he thought of this, he immediately ordered:

"From now on! The Anbu monitoring Naruto will be changed from a single person to a team of two!"

"Report to me immediately if there is any abnormality!"

"Yes!"

Lin Yue agreed and disappeared in an instant.

...

The sight returned to Naruto.

At Lin Kong's request, Naruto trained from morning to noon.

It was not until he was sweating profusely that Lin Kong asked him to stop and go home.

Naruto's home.

"I'm so tired~~~"

Naruto sat on the ground with his clothes soaked with sweat.

Physical training is like this, the most basic and the most difficult.

However, in order to become stronger, Naruto did not complain.

"That..."

"Will I continue physical training in the afternoon?"

After resting for a while, Naruto asked Lin Kong in confusion.

"No, physical training requires daily persistence and accumulation over time."

"I'll teach you new things at home in the afternoon."

Lin Kong said in a somewhat lazy voice.

When Naruto heard that there was something new to learn, his eyes lit up and he said with expectation:

"New things? What is that?"

"Powerful ninjutsu?"

Lin Kong smiled slightly and said lightly:

"Curse power!"
