"Yes, Lord Third!" Tenzo who was now Yamato nodded his head.
"Lord Third, do you really believe in his accusations?" Another Anbu asked.
Hearing his words, Hiruzen tapped the table and said.
"I have no reason not to believe it. After all, he is his father's son. If anything, his previous behavior wasn't the same. I thought it was due to lack of education but it might be more."
"So, I want to find out if that is really the case. Even if not, this will give me a proper way to accuse the council which I wouldn't want to miss."
That last smile made those Anbu shiver. They knew just how much he hated the council despite that he couldn't do anything about it.
Now, that he had a chance, he wouldn't hesitate anymore.
Bang!
Suddenly, the doors opened and the Anbu disappeared in an instant. From that door, a young boy ran in.
"Old Man, I am here to defeat you!"
He ran in front of the Hokage and made a hand seal.
[Sexy Technique]
The next moment, he transformed into a fat and ugly naked woman.
"Argh! My eyes, my eyes!" Hiruzen couldn't help but scream when he saw her.
His bodyguard cringed at the figure and said.
"Honorable Grandson, you can't defeat Lord Third with such a disgusting Jutsu."
"Hehe! Here's my trick!"
[Sexy Technique]
This time, he transformed into a slim and beautiful naked woman. The disgust that those two men held suddenly disappeared as blood started pouring out of their noses.
It's like going to heaven from hell.
"Hahaha! Boss was right. For the extra effect of this technique, you must see something extremely bad." The kid named Konohamaru laughed and rushed out of the office to find his boss.
Who happened to be none other than Naruto. After Naruto left the room, he stumbled against Konohamaru because he didn't apologize and instead smacked him in the head for being arrogant.
Konohamaru became attached to him after that.
So, Naruto taught him the technique and also helped him utilize this technique to its fullest potential.
After a few minutes, Konohamaru found Naruto walking toward the forest and shouted.
"Boss, it worked. I not only got Old Man down but also Ebisu."
Naruto chuckled at his enthusiasm. This boy was similar to him but in an opposite way.
While he got all the hate, this boy got all the love. Both of them were not accepted as they are but instead for who they weren't.
Konohamaru wasn't just the grandson of the Third Hokage.
Naruto wasn't just the container for Nine Tails.
"Konohamaru, that might have been an easy way to defeat him but you can't use that Jutsu in public or against your normal enemies. It can only work against perverts."
"So, you must grow stronger by working hard and then you can defeat your Old Man in the future. Of course, you also have to defeat me to become a Hokage."
Naruto ruffled his hair and spoke.
Hearing his words, Konohamaru clenched his fist and held back his emotions. He pushed away Naruto's hand and declared.
"Then, from now on, we are rivals."
"Rivals? Haha! I like the tone of that. But right now, you are not become an Academy Student while I am already a Genin. So, you have to hold on to that for now."
"You also have to train hard in Academy so that you won't remain Dead Last like me."
Naruto chuckled.
"What? Boss, you are so strong. Were you really dead last?" Konohamaru shouted in shock.
"Of course, I was dead last. But, it is not something that I am afraid to accept. Do you know why? Because I know I will grow stronger than any of my classmates after becoming a Ninja."
"So, who I was in the academy doesn't matter. Who I am going to be in the future won't matter either. Only who I am in the present matters. I am a Genin of Konoha and that's it."
His speech made the young boy sparkled his eyes.
"Cool! Boss, you are so amazing." Konohamaru exclaimed.
"Is that so? Haha! Well, Konohamaru, it's my training time. Do you want to help me?" Naruto asked.
This was something that he came up with in a fly. So, he wanted to test it out right now.
"Of course, boss!" Konohamaru accepted without any hesitation.
[Shadow Clone Jutsu]
Suddenly, a new shadow clone appeared next to him. Naruto took out his Gama-Chan and gave him some money.
"Can you go and buy some weights? Don't forget to use Transformation!"
Shadow Clone Naruto nodded and transformed into another Genin. Then, he left under the stunned eyes of Konohamaru.
"Boss, that was so cool. What was that?" Konohamaru asked in surprise.
"Well, that was a powerful Jutsu but right now, you can't use it. You have to increase your Chakra Reserve by a lot to use that Jutsu."
"Of course, if you do, I will definitely teach you that Jutsu." Naruto explained.
"Thanks, boss! But, why did you transform into another person just to buy some weights?" Konohamaru nodded and asked.
"Just like how people see you as Grandson of Old Man instead of Konohamaru of the Leaf, they see me as something else instead of Naruto Uzumaki of the Leaf."
"And, that something has caused quite a lot of problems for this village. So, they don't like me. I will tell you the complete story once you become a Genin. For now, let's wait until my Clone returns."
"Yes, boss!" Konohamaru nodded and they waited until his clones returned.
After what seemed like an hour, the clone returned. These weights seemed quite useful for his physical training as well.
At least, that's what the seller told him.
Surprisingly, it was a young girl who was only one year older than him and was a Genin as well. She also told him about her teammate who uses the weights all the time and how to use them properly.
At the same time, she also saw through his Transformation which was quite a surprise. And, even though he had no choice but to transform back, she didn't hate him for some reason.
After receiving all the memories of his shadow clone, he decided that if he wanted to buy anything related to the Ninja, he would buy from that store.
These weights were Ten Kilograms in each foot. So, it was quite heavy for him. Thankfully, he was always physically strong.
So, it didn't take him quite a lot to adjust.
"Alright, Konohamaru, your job is to practice Shuriken Target at me but instead of using Shuriken, you will use stone." Naruto explained.
"But I don't want to hurt you." Konohamaru said in a sad tone.
Naruto shook his head and said.
"You are not hurting me. You are helping me. You see, I am training in a Chakra Control Exercise and I want to perfect it today."
"Once I climb the tree and say 'start'. You will throw rocks at me and I will have to dodge them."
Saying so, Naruto walked into the tree and slowly walked vertically in the tree. He was pumping more Chakra than usual since his legs had a lot of weight.
But even so, he managed to perfectly balance his foot on the tree.
"Start, Konohamaru!"
As soon as he said that, Konohamaru snapped out his awestruck expression and started throwing rocks at him.
At first, he wasn't fast or skilled enough to dodge them but as time passed, Naruto became good at dodging.
And, that was pushing Konohamaru to improve his marksmanship.
Several trees away, Ebisu was leaning against the tree while carefully observing their training.
His eyes were on Naruto. He had arrived a long time ago but he didn't show his presence because of what Naruto said.
As he watched the training, he started to accept Naruto even more. Although it seemed like Naruto was improving at a faster rate, Konohamaru was still able to land a few hits on him.
And, that was considering how quickly Naruto was dodging those rocks while standing vertically on the trees.
'It seems like I should also look at you as Genin Naruto instead of Nine Tails, Naruto Uzumaki.'
He flicked his sunglasses and continued to observe.
Inside the Hokage Office,
Hiruzen was watching all of this with his Crystal Ball. While he couldn't listen to the sound, he was happy to see their smiles while training.
'No matter how smart you have become Naruto, you will not change. That I am sure of. One day, you will take the mantle of the Hokage and protect this village just like your father.'
