A glint flashed in Mizuki's eyes as he said to Sakura Haruno, "Our Konoha's Scroll of Seals has always been kept by the successive Hokage."
"It contains records of various powerful ninjutsu and forbidden techniques. If you could borrow it and learn one or two of those powerful techniques, your strength would surely increase dramatically."
"While I won't say I'll surpass Naruto and Sasuke, I can at least significantly shorten the distance between you and give you hope of catching up with them."
Mizuki's words made Sakura Haruno's eyes light up.
If what the other party said was true, at least she wouldn't become a burden to the team.
However, since it was something that had been managed by the Hokage of each generation, it was unlikely that it would be shown to others easily.
"Mr. Mizuki, it probably won't be easy to borrow the Scroll of Seals, will it?" Sakura Haruno asked with great concern.
"Indeed, the Sealing Technique is the most precious thing in Konoha. It contains all the powerful ninjutsu and forbidden techniques passed down by the Hokage of each generation."
"Only those who have made sufficient contributions to the village will be granted the right to view this book, but there are exceptions."
Mizuki paused slightly at this point, then continued, "As far as I know, Naruto's importance is no less than that of the Scroll of Seals. If he were to ask, the Hokage would surely make an exception."
Good heavens, Mizuki had really racked his brains to steal this Scroll of Seals.
Originally, he had wanted to fool Naruto Uzumaki, but that guy was too strong.
He was an expert in Wind Release techniques, so he didn't need to steal this book at all.
Therefore, he had no choice but to settle for second best and indirectly ask Naruto Uzumaki for help through Sakura Haruno to bring out the Scroll of Seals.
Then, while Sakura Haruno was watching and learning, he would steal the book and escape from Konoha.
"Naruto?" Sakura Haruno was taken aback.
"Yes, it's Naruto. He likes you so much, he'd definitely be willing to do this for you," Mizuki nodded.
Sakura Haruno lowered her head slightly, her expression somewhat troubled.
Even though it had been five years, she still didn't like Naruto Uzumaki.
As for the reason, it was simply because he was too ugly!
Especially when compared to Sasuke Uchiha, Naruto Uzumaki's ugliness was further highlighted.
Of course, all of this was thanks to Black Zetsu.
If it weren't for Black Zetsu possessing him, causing half of Naruto's body to be black, Sakura Haruno would never have hated Naruto so much.
"Mizuki-sensei, thank you for telling me all this. I will think about it carefully."
Sakura Haruno thanked him, then turned and left.
...
On the other hand,
In Naruto's mental space.
"Black Zetsu, when are you finally going to help me break that seal?" Kurama said from within the cage, quite dissatisfied. "Five years, a full five years! Do you know how I've spent these past five years?"
Back then, Black Zetsu had agreed that in return for helping him deceive Naruto Uzumaki, he would help him remove the seal.
That's it?
Naruto Uzumaki had been completely fooled, but Kurama was still locked in the cage.
"Don't worry, you know that to break the seal on the Eight Trigrams, we need a key. I'm just waiting for them to bring the key."
Black Zetsu reassured Kurama: "As soon as the key arrives, I will help you break the seal immediately."
He would definitely release the Nine-Tails, but only after the One to Eight Tails were sealed inside the Gedō Mazō.
Hehehe—
As the most filial son in the ninja world, Black Zetsu only had his mother, Kaguya Otsutsuki, in his heart.
As for the Nine-Tails, even though they'd been together for so long, he would never hesitate to feed it to the Ten-Tails when it was time to do so.
"Asura, Nine-Tails, what are you two talking about?"
Just then, Naruto Uzumaki also entered the mental space.
"Let's talk about how to make you stronger so that we can complete the Eye of the Moon Plan as soon as possible."
The Black Zetsu-possessed Naruto Uzumaki smiled and said.
The nine-tailed fox lay there in the cage without saying a word, afraid that he would lose his temper and expose the guy's lie.
"I also want to complete the Eye of the Moon Plan as soon as possible. I don't want to stay in this world for even a second longer."
Naruto Uzumaki clenched his fists, his mind seemingly lost in thought.
Of course, others might not know, but Black Zetsu, who was spiritually connected to him, knew very well.
Naruto Uzumaki was feeling inferior again!
Despite his nickname "Little Tyrant of Konoha," it was just an extreme sense of pride stemming from a deep-seated inferiority complex.
Simply put, it was because of low self-esteem that he was afraid of being rejected and disapproved of.
Therefore, he would act very assertively and force others to agree with him.
However, it was ultimately fake, and Naruto himself was very clear about it.
Sakura Haruno was the best example. No matter how hard he tried or how strong he became, she would never fall in love with him.
"As my reincarnation, you can't be so dejected." Black Zetsu patted Naruto Uzumaki on the shoulder: "At least Kurama and I will always be with you, right?"
"Asura, thank goodness you're here, otherwise, I don't know what would have become of me."
Naruto Uzumaki nodded deeply, looking at Black Zetsu with a grateful expression.
The nine-tailed fox in the cage saw this scene and its two large ears twitched violently.
From the time he was created by the Sage of Six Paths until he was sealed inside Naruto Uzumaki, he had never seen anyone as shameless as Black Zetsu.
He had never seen anyone as stupid as Naruto Uzumaki.
He had sold you out, and you were still helping him count the money.
How could I, the Nine-Tails, the most intelligent of the tailed beasts, be sealed inside such a foolish host?
If the other tailed beasts found out, wouldn't they laugh at me for two and a half years?
...
Because Kakashi Hatake's Sharingan had been blinded, he was extremely weak and spent more than a month recuperating in the hospital before finally being discharged.
During his recovery, Ebisu, a Tokubetsu Jōnin from Konoha, temporarily took charge of Team 7.
During this time, Naruto and his friends only did some tasks such as catching cats and dogs.
"Kakashi-sensei, I'm really sorry about what happened before."
At the hospital entrance, Uchiha Sasuke was sincerely apologizing to Hatake Kakashi.
Looking at Uchiha Sasuke, Hatake Kakashi touched his left eye, which was now covered again, and sighed helplessly.
It's all fate!
Although he felt very sorry for Obito for not being able to protect the keepsake he had left him, the feeling of having plenty of chakra was just wonderful.
Without the Sharingan, he no longer suffered from the pain of lacking chakra.
How long had it been since he had felt this energetic and surging chakra?
It seemed that he hadn't felt this way since he had transplanted Obito's Sharingan.
"Obito, I'm so sorry, but even without the Sharingan, I will definitely be stronger than before."
Kakashi thought to himself, then reached out and ruffled Sasuke's hair, saying, "Alright, I won't stoop to your level."
"Come on, I'll take you to get the mission!"
...
Smash that Powerstone!
