Naruto: If I ask you to be Naruto, you will become a yellow-haired person?

Shizune touched Naruto's damp, blonde hair and asked hesitantly.

"Naruto, have you been exposed to medical ninjutsu before?"

Naruto looked at Shizune's curious face and nodded.

"Master Nonou taught me some basic knowledge before."

Hearing the answer, Shizune breathed a sigh of relief and gently patted her flat chest.

No wonder she had been curious all along. If Naruto had really displayed such a level on his first contact, even the young Tsunade-sama's talent would probably be inferior to this little junior brother!

Then, as his senior sister, she would be under a lot of pressure!

...

The next day.

A thin mist permeated Konoha in the early morning.

Naruto, wearing sportswear and doing an endurance long-distance run, had fine beads of sweat on his clean forehead as he exhaled.

The so-called ninja is to endure what ordinary people cannot.

Persisting in running around Konoha in the early morning to build up physical strength seemed to be etched into his bones as a fundamental principle.

Casually wiping the sweat from his forehead, Naruto pondered his plans for the future in his heart.

Rescuing Karin and her mother...

It's not a good idea to tell Tsunade about this directly, after all, the source of the information is not easy to reveal. I can't possibly say that I watched Shippuden without Shippuden...

I can only take advantage of Tsunade taking me out of the village to gamble in Tanzaku Town later,

Or secretly look for opportunities when going to the Fire Country metropolis to treat those noble merchants.

In that case, I must rescue Karin alone from the hands of the ruthless and short-sighted Kusagakure ninjas...

Kusagakure treats Karin as a human pill, and with the dark corruption revealed in the movie, Naruto doesn't have a good impression of the ninjas in this small hidden village.

Naruto stopped, panting, and rested his arms on his legs, taking a few breaths. From this point of view, facing an entire ninja village, his current strength is still somewhat insufficient...

Now that he has become Tsunade's disciple and is gradually winning her over, he needs to get his hands on the Book of Forbidden Arts through Tsunade's channels as soon as possible!

And Tsunade's original Super Strength and the summoning beasts of the Three Great Saint Grounds, Shikkotsu Forest!

It was still early, and the sun had not yet risen.

The streets of Konoha were already bustling with villagers, and the neon lights of various shops were flashing.

In addition, long queues had already formed in front of various shops selling tri-color dango and octopus teriyaki.

From this alone, one can see the prosperity of Konoha.

The Land of Fire is located in the very center of the ninja world, which is both a place of war and a place contended by various countries,

But it is precisely because it is located in the central plain that it has been a transportation hub in the ninja world since ancient times, and trade is extraordinarily prosperous!

In addition, there are very few ravines and hills, the land is fertile, and the land is vast and rich in resources, so it is reasonable for the other major ninja villages to covet it.

Naruto noticed the tri-color dango, a well-known delicacy in Konoha, and also a snack that Itachi Uchiha and Anko Mitarashi particularly loved...

After thinking about it, Naruto went to buy two skewers of tri-color dango and returned to Tsunade's residence.

When passing by Konoha's Third Training Ground, there were two figures flying and fighting each other in the training ground.

Naruto raised his eyebrows. One of them was an acquaintance, Itachi Uchiha!

The other was a girl wearing a light purple coat and a breastplate engraved with the Uchiha white and red fan.

Her beautiful black hair danced gracefully as she dodged Itachi Uchiha's swift attacks.

Naruto was not interested in Itachi Uchiha, who killed his father and mother, and was about to leave.

"Swish, swish, swish!"

Itachi Uchiha instantly jumped back, and several shurikens cut through the air, flying towards the girl. The black-haired girl reacted quickly and blocked them with kunai in her hand.

Sharp iron objects collided in an instant, bursting out dazzling sparks, and then one of the shurikens flew straight towards Naruto, who was passing by.

"Not good! Be careful! Dodge quickly!"

Accompanied by a crisp exclamation from the girl, the rapidly rotating shuriken, flashing with a sharp cold light, shot straight over,

Bringing with it bursts of whistling sounds that cut through the air.

Naruto's eyes narrowed, and he stood still on the spot without moving. The shuriken brushed past his shoulder and clothes.

The cold light flashed by and stuck into the ground a few meters behind Naruto.

The girl appeared in front of Naruto in an instant,

A small black mole decorated the corner of her right eye, and her pretty face was covered with a slight sweat,

A few strands of dark and shiny hair were wet with sweat on her face, adding a bit of abstinence to her originally gentle and charming face.

The girl's face flushed, and she apologized frantically,

"I'm sorry, I'm really sorry, I didn't expect to make a mistake in blocking the shuriken..."

"It's a good thing you weren't injured! Otherwise..."

Naruto waved his hand, refusing the girl's apology,

This should be Izumi Uchiha, who developed feelings with the beast Itachi Uchiha in the original work...

He turned his head to look at Itachi Uchiha.

Naruto didn't believe that Itachi Uchiha, as a master of shuriken manipulation, would make such a serious mistake when practicing with Izumi Uchiha.

Itachi Uchiha appeared in an instant, and seemed to be really surprised, with a hint of apology on his face.

"Naruto-kun, I'm sorry I almost hurt you!"

There was no trace of strangeness on his face, Naruto frowned and didn't say anything more.

After all, he was someone who dared to slaughter his clan for the sake of the village's stability and his beloved Otouto Sasuke. He couldn't figure out what this madman was thinking for a while, maybe he was just having a nervous breakdown?!

Naruto cursed inwardly, and thought that he would have Itachi Uchiha stand guard outside the door in the future, and he would pick up Aunt Mikoto in the room and kick her a few more times!

Izumi Uchiha looked at Naruto's hurried figure leaving, wiped the sweat-soaked hair from her cheeks, and asked suspiciously.

"Itachi, do you know that little boy just now?"

Itachi Uchiha nodded with a poker face,

"He is Sasuke's classmate... Recently, Tsunade-sama seems to value him quite a bit and wants to take him as a disciple!"

Hearing the concise answer from her childhood friend, who had always been silent and introverted,

Izumi Uchiha didn't show an angry expression, but was stunned when she heard the words.

Tsunade-sama's disciple?! That is the direct line of the Hokage! If there are no accidents, it is a certainty that they will be a high-level village official in the future!

The family atmosphere has been extremely severe recently, and they have been suppressed by the village everywhere. Isn't it because the village's high-level officials have always been prejudiced against their Uchiha?

Not to mention that there is one of their Uchiha clansmen at the high level, but if any high-level village official is willing to say a few fair words for their Uchiha and wholeheartedly help them dissolve the gap and misunderstanding with the village.

The family would not have fallen into the current predicament of being neglected and excluded by the village!

Thinking this way, Izumi Uchiha's fair face showed a thoughtful expression,

Perhaps she can befriend that little guy in advance, in case he can help the family get the help of his teacher, Tsunade-sama?

Itachi Uchiha, who was expressionless on the side, looked at Naruto's back. His dark eyes were dead and dark, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

Back at the Senju residence,

Naruto saw in the courtyard,

A beautiful woman with an elegant high bun was smiling and talking to Shizune, holding a delicate redwood gift box in her hand.
