Chapter 39 Hiruzen: Shisui, You...

In the 55th year of Konoha, in the Death Forest of Konoha.

"Chirp, chirp~ chirp~"

Five or six birds circled in the air, and chirped and landed on the shoulders of little Naruto, seemingly not noticing the human under them.

Little Naruto closed his eyes and sat cross-legged on the stone platform.

The whole person's aura was calm and peaceful, as if he was integrated with nature.

And on a tree less than a hundred meters away from him, a man wearing a dog face mask and long silver hair sat on the tree trunk.

He lowered his head and looked at the small book in his hand intently.

"Intimate Paradise. Autographed Edition", this was the 18th birthday gift given to him by that person.

At this time, a black shadow came from a distance and flashed into the dense tree canopy.

"Inu Senior."

The man wore a cat face mask, a black high-necked short-sleeved shirt and long pants, a brown armor on his right shoulder, and a small sword on his back.

The most noteworthy thing is the "round fan" embroidered on the back of his clothes.

That is the emblem of the Uchiha clan.

The cat-faced Anbu glanced at the small book in the silver-haired Anbu's hand, and his body could not help but stagnate.

Is this the work of Master Jiraiya? It seems to be a book of 18+...

"Hmm."

The silver-haired Anbu responded in a low voice, and then took the small book back into his arms as if nothing had happened.

When he stood up and was about to leave.

"Huh?"

Looking at the little Naruto sitting cross-legged on the stone platform motionless, the cat-faced Anbu asked in confusion: "Senior, why does Uzumaki Naruto sit there all the time?"

"Don't worry, Uzumaki Naruto comes here to sit in meditation every day."

The silver-haired Anbu paused again after speaking, hesitated for a moment, and warned: "You are just taking over for Eagle for one day, don't do anything extra."

The cat-faced mask was silent for a moment after hearing this, and said with a bitter tone: "...I understand, senior."

Since the Nine-Tails Rebellion, the Uchiha clan has been pushed to the forefront.

Not only was the clan land "voluntarily" moved to the outskirts of Konoha, but the functions of the Anbu also overlapped and conflicted with the guards, causing complaints from the Uchiha clan against the Konoha high-level officials.

In this depressing atmosphere, the Uchiha guards actually had several violent law enforcement incidents and were once again rejected by the villagers of Konoha.

It can be said that they have completely lost the support of the people.

"But even in this situation, those radicals have even voiced rebellion, and the recent clan meetings have become more and more frequent..."

The nerves of the Uchiha clan are already tense, and I don't know when they will be completely broken.

Thinking of this, the cat-faced Anbu sighed again, reached out and touched his eye sockets, feeling a little complicated. .

Time passed slowly, the sun went down, and the sky darkened.

At this time, Naruto's shoulders were full of birds.

Being around Naruto made them feel at ease and comfortable instinctively.

"Huh~"

When the moon rose, Naruto let out a long breath before slowly opening his eyes.

A trace of confusion flashed in his eyes, and then he quickly regained clarity.

"If you want to be sincere, you must first acquire knowledge; to acquire knowledge, you must study things. Only after studying things can you acquire knowledge, and only after acquiring knowledge can your intentions be sincere."

Menma's voice appeared in his mind again: "What do the eight points in "Book of Rites - Great Learning" refer to?"

"Study things, acquire knowledge, be sincere, correct your mind, cultivate yourself, regulate your family, govern the country, and bring peace to the world."

Little Naruto answered his question seriously word by word.

Cultivating oneself means to develop strength, and correcting your mind means to regulate your mind, eliminate all kinds of anxious emotions, and maintain peace of mind.

"Only cultivating oneself without correcting one's mind is nothing but a puppet of power."

Menma said: "What I asked you to do may not be useful now, but it will be of great benefit to your future practice."

Whether it is to accept the power of Kurama or to practice the Sage Mode, Naruto needs to have a firm will and a calm mind.

In addition, Ashura Chakra will be absorbed by him little by little as he continues to temper his mind.

Self-awareness is the mother of progress, and self-contempt is the source of degeneration, so self-awareness is indispensable, and self-contempt is not allowed.

Menma also meditates and practices every day.

Not only to set an example for Naruto, but also to suppress the negative emotions in his heart.

As the opposite of Naruto in the world of Tsukuyomi, even if he is out of the limitations of the world of Tsukuyomi, his negative emotions are rising every moment.

Just like leeks, cut off one part, and then rise another part.

"I have to get a few Sharingan as soon as possible, otherwise these negative emotions will be a waste."

Thinking of this, Menma focused his attention on an ordinary tree in the distance.

The strongest illusion [Kotoamatsukami], Uchiha Shisui...

Although it sounds very strong, he is really not interested in this kind of illusion eye.

It is better to get a pair of three magatama Sharingan, and then find a way to come up with his own Mangekyō pupil technique.

At the same time, the cat-faced Anbu hiding in the tree, that is, Uchiha Shisui, also noticed Naruto's movements.

"Huh? Why do I feel..."

Shisui frowned and scratched his head in confusion.

His keen intuition told him that Uzumaki Naruto seemed to have changed.

But he couldn't tell exactly what was different.

"Little Naruto is no less talented than his father, both in character and in talent."

The old voice that suddenly sounded under the tree interrupted Shisui's thoughts.

He looked down in surprise.

I saw an old man wearing a Hokage robe, a Hokage hat, and a wrinkled face who didn't know when he appeared under the tree.

"Sandaime-sama! Why are you here?"

"Shhh."

Before Shisui could say anything, Sarutobi Hiruzen put his finger in front of his lips, and then pointed at Naruto over there.

Shisui's attention was also attracted,

I saw little Naruto standing by the stream, skillfully completing the seals with his hands and condensing chakra at his throat.

He didn't shout out the move, but the next second.

A powerful whirlwind spit out from his mouth, causing ripples on the river.

The remaining breeze blew through the forest, causing Shisui to feel a tingling sensation.

"It's really amazing."

Shisui's eyes moved, and he exclaimed in amazement: "At such a young age, before entering school, can you perform C-level wind escape and great breakthrough?"

"Haha, when I extracted chakra, I suffered a lot. As a result, Naruto only used it for a few days."

Sarutobi nodded with a smile: "Naruto's talent is not bad, and he works hard enough. His future strength will not be lower than Minato."

"The Fourth Hokage, Minato Namikaze?"

Not sure what they thought of, Sarutobi Hiruzen and Shisui fell into silence at the same time.

If the fourth generation had not died, wouldn't everything be different?

maybe……

"Shisui."

Sarutobi Hiruzen smiled and asked in a gentle tone: "You have been joining ANBU for a while, do you have any ideas?"
