Jiraiya, Orochimaru, Tsunade...... In the process of searching for Jiraiya, the Konoha Sannin, who "unexpectedly" reunited, thought it was a good thing in Naruto's subconscious reaction.

But after thinking about it carefully, Naruto had no choice but to find out that he wanted to bring these two people back to Konoha Ninja Village in advance. There are many problems that need to be faced.

Orochimaru is too thankless compared to the result and the effort. So much so that as far as Naruto is concerned, he doesn't have much thought about rewriting the course of history. Let Orochimaru, who should have been one of the boss characters, join the ranks of friendly NPCs in advance.

And Tsunade, who originally belonged to the friendly camp, is because the current Konoha Ninja Village, when Naruto designed to solve the group and unite the Uchiha clan and the Hyuga clan to let the two families release their suspicions, has already shown a thriving and optimistic scene. In the original plot, the death of the three generations of Hokage and the devastating blow to the Konoha Ninja Village caused the dragons to be in a state of panic. The emergency situation that made the Konoha Ninja Village have to find a suitable successor to the Hokage in a short period of time, if you compare them with each other, it can be said that there is a world of difference! So much so that as far as the current situation is concerned, even if Tsunade returns to the village early, it is just the icing on the cake, not the charcoal in the snow. The importance of this is naturally not the same.

In addition to this, coupled with Naruto's preference for Jiraiya's personal likes and dislikes. So that Tsunade can give Jiraiya, who has been waiting for many years, a satisfactory answer, even if there is the possibility of icing on the cake, Naruto has no intention at all, and now he will "invite" Tsunade back to the village!

It is precisely because of this, after clarifying the thoughts. made Naruto, who had originally disrupted the deployment plan because of Orochimaru's unexpected appearance, begin to look at ease again. Then he was distracted, and while he pondered carefully, whether Nonoyu, who had taken the lead before, had taken advantage of the opportunity that Orochimaru had not yet noticed as Naruto expected, and reformed Yakushidou back to the friendly camp in advance. While raising his eyebrows slightly, he secretly thought to himself, what kind of reason should he use later, and dragged Jiraiya back to the village in a bright light.

“…… Well? This memory is ......"

At this time, as if drowsiness came, someone took the initiative to send a pillow. I'm racking my brains.,Trying to concoct a reasonable excuse to be able to rush all the way to Yuyin Village to send people's heads.,Temporarily and completely cut off.。 Through the shadow clone technique, the characteristics of memories can be transmitted, and the memory fragments that are instilled into Naruto's brain without warning make Naruto's thoughts involuntarily pause. Immediately, while frowning slightly, the corners of his mouth, which was already a little smiling, began to tilt upwards more and more obviously.

"Ahh......h

Strictly speaking, all of a sudden, this was a memory message passed to Naruto. It is neither a warning of a crisis nor a shocking piece of good news...... The implication is overly simplistic in light of the complexity of the moment.

That is like an afterthought, and finally found the restless Naruto, and the three generations of Hokage and others, who had quietly left the village again, were gathering together at this moment. And through Naruto's shadow clone, it serves as a medium to convey information. Uneasily, he urged Naruto to hurry back to the village.

Of course, it's not that Naruto's many cover-ups before leaving the village have revealed anything......

If you look back and dig deeper, the reason why the three generations of Hokage and others were able to detect that the "Naruto" who stayed in the village was just a shadow clone. And Naruto's body is the truth that he has already left the village again. In a sense, thanks to the sudden appearance of Orochimaru......

Don't forget, when he officially fought Orochimaru one-on-one, Naruto's first attack plan was to use the shuriken shadow clone technique, which was enough to dazzle the sky with a rain of shuriken, mixed with hundreds of shadow clones disguised by the transformation technique, as a real hidden killing move!

If this is placed under normal circumstances...... The number of hundreds or thousands of shadow clones seems to be huge and amazing. But for the human pillar force as the Nine Lamas, he has inherited the bloodline of the Vortex clan. Even for Naruto, who is still young, but has a huge chakra that is far greater than that of ordinary adult ninjas, it is just a trivial matter.

But the problem is that in order to be able to ensure that when you leave the village, you will not show any horses. Naruto deliberately made more than a dozen shadow clones to follow the previous schedule, instead of himself who was about to leave the village, and honestly went to the ninja school to report for class with the small group fan. And in order to keep his own strength and experience in a relatively stable state of rapid development, Naruto almost twenty-four hours a day, in the habitual No. 3 field survival training ground, a large number of shadow clones used to "brush experience" were arranged. In addition, in view of the shadow clone's technique, in the process of exterminating the group and rescuing Hinata, he exerted excellent real-time communication and communication skills. In the new communication chamber of Naruto's office building, it was inevitable that many shadow clones would also be placed.

In this case, adding up to the front, back and forth, Naruto had already released thousands of shadow clones before he left the village. As a result, the original large number of chakras suddenly had to distribute the chakras in the body evenly to another characteristic in each shadow clone's body when casting shadow clones. And in this diversion process, a lot of it was consumed. So much so that behind Naruto's seemingly comfortable appearance, the amount of chakra left in his body is less than one thousandth compared to normal circumstances, which is enough to be called a paper tiger that is strong on the outside and dry on the inside!

In other words, no matter if Naruto wanted to release a shadow clone with a certain amount of actual combat ability and a staggering scale of hundreds or thousands in one breath without borrowing the power of the Nine Lamas, as before. Still put aside all your worries and fight with Orochimaru with all his might without distractions. Reducing the number of existing shadow clones is obviously an imperative step!

Of course, this is not something that Naruto can do in a short period of time......

After all, even the current Naruto has been in the process of gradually increasing the number of shadow clones, and has completely adapted to all the memories that the shadow clones have experienced when they are lifted, except for the duration. In the process, the accumulated fatigue will also be fed back to the strange feeling of the main body in full...... But what if at the same time, most of the shadow clones were actively disarmed?

Not to mention, in a short period of time, can Naruto breathe his breath...... Just under the pressure of this huge amount of exhaustion, Naruto did not faint on the spot, thus completely losing the ability to fight, I am afraid that he can already be considered thankful!

It was precisely because of this that Naruto realized the fact that there would inevitably be a fight between himself and Orochimaru. According to the limit of the fatigue value that it can bear, the number of shadow clones is lifted in batches. So much so that in the eyes of others, Naruto, who has always stood still, is like a frightened child, and can only stay silently under the protection of outsiders.

In other words, Naruto's amazing blow of using the Flying Thunder God technique with Spiral Pill to temporarily repel Orochimaru seems to have been planned for a long time...... But in a real sense, it's just the number of the last batch of shadow clones that have just been lifted. And then in the critical situation of the three daughters of Nonoyu, the instinctive reaction was just adopted.

But if you think about it from another angle...... Naruto is really much more grateful for the sacrifice of the three daughters of Nonoyu.

After all, although in terms of results, the actions of the three of Ye Naiyu did not actually pose any threat and consumption to Orochimaru. But if it weren't for the fact that the three daughters of Nonoyu were fearless in order to protect Naruto, they chose to fight Orochimaru head-on. And without the three women even realizing it, they bought Naruto enough precious time to thoroughly digest the memories and tired words that the shadow clone fed back to the main body. Naruto wanted to first repel Orochimaru at that critical moment, and then act as a decoy himself to lure Orochimaru away from afar. Without using the power of the Nine Lamas' tailed beasts, it was obviously wishful thinking!

Well...... Of course, there are pros and cons to everything in the world......

After Naruto removed the redundant shadow clone, although his strength was restored to seventy-seven eighty-eight. But it was precisely because of the dissipation speed and number of the shadow clones that were too abnormal that the three generations of Hokage and the others, who originally knew nothing about this matter, finally noticed that something was wrong......

……

Just as Naruto's body was trying to persuade Jiraiya to give up the idea of going to Yugakuin Village to send his head to the village and willingly follow him back to the village......

Let's quickly shift the camera from the location of Naruto's main body all the way to the scene. And in the end, freeze in the Hokage office building in Konoha Ninja Village...... In other words, it was in the secret contact point specially set up by the three generations of Hokage after the extermination of the group.

……

At this moment, inside the secret contact point of the Hokage's office building......

The huge enclosed space, if it was normal to say, should have been in the situation of Uchiha Fugaku, Hinata Hinata and Naruto, the shadow clones of the three, sitting cross-legged on the spot in an orderly manner. Because at a cursory glance, it is densely packed with human heads, and there is always a bit of crowding......

But at this moment, it was because Naruto deliberately lifted a large number of shadow clones in order to keep his chakra count in the best condition possible, so that he could be a little more sure when facing Orochimaru. So much so that except for the "Naruto" that Fugaku specially found after this, who was studying in place of the ontology, there was no reason for a second "Naruto". As far as the eye can see, the whole space looks a lot more relaxed and bright!

It was precisely because of the bizarre dissipation of the number of Naruto's shadow clones that Fugaku and Hizo, who had also arranged a considerable number of shadow clones here, were silent for a short time looking at each other. He immediately realized that it was Naruto's body, and something had happened. And then in the first time, while the shadow clone was dispatched by Hizu, to report this strange phenomenon to the three generations of Hokage who were in the office, reading and processing official documents in an orderly manner. While trying to figure out why Naruto was doing this, whether it was because he was in trouble or if he had an ulterior motive. And today's Naruto should be driven by the natural desire to study hard. From Fugaku, who was relatively close to the ninja school, to "Naruto", who was in the ninja school, quickly approached and converged.

Of course, after witnessing it with my own eyes, I confirmed that "Naruto" did not have any abnormalities, but was indeed the same as I thought, and honestly stayed in the school and studied hard. Let Fugaku, who came to find "Naruto" in person, be slightly stunned at the same time. Even if you haven't used the magic of writing wheels, you can carefully confirm it. Just by virtue of Fugaku's understanding of Naruto, it was still inevitable that he recognized this "Naruto" in the ninja school, who was pretended to be a shadow clone.

After all, if you just study and go to school honestly like a normal child. Naruto didn't need to drastically reduce the number of shadow clones that were originally almost all over the large and small corners of Konoha Ninja Village to the point where there was almost no significant difference between them at the moment. It is even more impossible to remove the shadow clones that are deliberately arranged in the contact point so as to maintain communication contact at all times!

In the face of this obvious answer, he was afraid that Naruto's body had already encountered some unforeseen Fugaku, so he couldn't care about his rash appearance, and the suspension and vacation incident caused by Naruto had just passed. So much so that Naruto, who was trying to keep a low profile, inadvertently became the new student of this class of the ninja school, the most eye-catching "new star" in the embarrassing environment, causing something to add fuel to the fire. Instead, he stepped into the class on his own, and brought the "Naruto" who seemed to be aware of it straight back to the secret contact point.

Of course, with Fugaku's understanding of Naruto, if he doesn't add some external stimulus. I'm afraid that until the event is over, or until something is temporarily achieved, it is probably impossible to honestly tell the whole thing that the ontology is suffering and encountering......

Because of this, while taking away "Naruto", Fugaku, who is the captain of the Konoha Police Force - in a sense, is equivalent to the current director of the public security bureau - is guided by the routine summarized in the previous interrogation of prisoners. In order to ensure that he can get the information he wants from the mouth of "Naruto" in a short time. Without thinking, from the class where "Naruto" was, the other two little ones were also brought back to the secret contact point.

One of them is Fugaku's own precious youngest son, Sasuke Uchiha.

And the other, of course, is Naruto's future daughter-in-law, Hinata, who has been thinking about him all day.
