Chapter 48: Chapter 48: The Shocking Truth(1)
[Uzumaki Kushina: Minato, did you notice how others look at our son?]
[Namikaze Minato: I saw it too. Something is definitely wrong.]
[Uzumaki Kushina: What is going on? Why do people around him seem to hate Naruto? They even show signs of fear. What's happening? Don't they know Naruto is the Hokage's son?]
[Namikaze Minato: Makoto, Can you go and check on Naruto? I want to know what's going on.]
[Ito Makoto: Now you're asking for help? When your wife called me a scumbag earlier, you didn't say anything!]
[Namikaze Minato: …....]
[Makoto Ito: But don't worry! This is just a small thing. I have never been a grudge-bearing person. I don't dwell on the past]
[Uzumaki Kushina: Really? That's great! I will never call you a scumbag again!]
[Senju Tobirama: Honestly, I think you are celebrating a bit too early. Have you forgotten what kind of person this kid is? He just claimed he doesn't hold grudges, but do you really believe he'll check on Naruto out of pure goodwill?]
[Makoto Ito: Spot on! Lord Second, you saw right through me. You really are the smartest person in the entire ninja world.]
At this moment, Kushina was so furious that her teeth were grinding in frustration. She thanked Makoto, thinking he was sincerely going to help her son, only to realize he was just looking for another opportunity to gain something for himself.
[Uzumaki Kushina: Alright, spill it! What do you want this time?! But let me make this clear. You are only going to check on Naruto! Don't even think about asking for any Forbidden Techniques like the Flying Thunder God! ]
Before Makoto could even bring up the Flying Thunder God Technique, Kushina had already shut him down.
[Makoto Ito: Okay, okay, if you don't want to give me the Flying Thunder God, I won't push for it. There will be plenty of chances in the future anyway. And besides, Lord Second is the one who created it, so I don't have to get it from Minato!]
[Senju Tobirama: Wait, hold on! You're acting like it's a given. Why would I even consider giving you the Flying Thunder God?]
[Makoto Ito: Oh, don't mind me. I was just making a point that the Flying Thunder God isn't exclusive to him!]
After hearing Kushina's condition, Makoto began to carefully consider what he still lacked and came to a conclusion.
What he lacked most now was a sensory technique.
Having an excellent sensory technique would allow him to predict enemy movements, just like having a full map view in a game.
[Ito Makoto: Then give me a sensory technique! It's exactly what I need right now!]
Makoto recalled that Minato possessed an exceptionally powerful sensory ninjutsu. With just a single finger touching the ground, he could accurately detect both the number and strength of enemies. However, what Makoto truly desired was the Kagura Heart Eye of the Uzumaki clan.
Unfortunately, Kushina had no knowledge of it, making it impossible for him to obtain it from her.
[Uzumaki Kushina: You want a sensory technique? But I don't know any of them. The Uzumaki clan does have one called Kagura's Heart Eye, but I never learned it! ]
[Namikaze Minato: It's okay, Kushina. I know a sensory technique.]
[Group member Namikaze Minato has presented the Area Scanning Technique to group leader Ito Makoto.]
With that, Makoto clicked accept and successfully acquired the sensory technique.
[Uzumaki Kushina: Now that you've gotten your benefits, get to work quickly!]
[Makoto Ito: I got it, why are you guys so impatient?]
After sending Hinata and Ino home, Makoto set off in the direction Naruto had gone.
Many of the powerful figures in the group were clearly interested in knowing what had happened to Naruto, the son of the Fourth Hokage.
Makoto walked forward with a confident smile on his face, fully aware that Anbu ninjas were likely lurking nearby.
However, he remained unfazed.
For one, he was Naruto's classmate. And secondly, both he and Naruto were regarded as the class losers, often spending time together.
In fact, their friendship was exactly the kind of companionship Hiruzen would hope for Naruto to have.
The most important thing was that there was a large group of powerhouse watching over him. Even if things went awry or danger struck, he didn't believe they could really ignore him.
Soon, Naruto's lonely figure appeared in view
Makoto did not act hastily, but first used the sensory technique he had just acquired to scan the surroundings. After a brief scan, he detected three Anbu ninjas secretly following Naruto.
The Group members also noticed the anbu ninjas secretly observing Naruto.
[Namikaze Minato: Is this an Anbu ninja? It seems like the Lord Third sent them to protect Naruto's safety!]
