Naruto: Son of the Fourth Hokage

The Uchiha Clan Compound wasn't small, but it wasn't particularly large either. The five of them toured the entire place in under two hours, and that was only because Kakashi lingered for a long time outside a certain residence.

Seeing the sadness in his expression, no one disturbed him. Little did they know that Kakashi had resolved to train diligently. If he couldn't persuade Obito to turn back when they met again, he would beat him up first and then persuade him.

What Naruto was most concerned about was the Nanga Shrine, not the shrine itself, but the basement.

In the anime, Pain's Super Shinra Tensei flattened the entire Konoha into ruins, but the basement of the Nanga Shrine remained intact, even more resilient than Ichiraku Ramen's shop.

Unfortunately, while they were familiar with each other, Naruto couldn't just barge into such a place. Besides, even if they saw the content on the stone tablet now, Fugaku and Itachi wouldn't necessarily believe the nonsense that Black Zetsu had tampered with.

With the tour completed, today's team-building activity came to a perfect end. Although it was a holiday, everyone still had their own things to do, and they bid each other farewell.

Naruto, having scammed Sasuke out of some pocket money, was in a cheerful mood, and his progress in cultivation that afternoon went much smoother.

...

Konoha Year 61. The lives of the villagers of Konoha Village could hardly be described as peaceful, having experienced the attack of the Sky Ninja Village and the threats of rogue ninja.

Fortunately, Konoha was strong enough, and the village's strategic defense, attack, and logistical support were well-managed, which prevented irreparable losses, allowing most people to enter Konoha Year 62 with peace of mind.

It was a pity that the people of Konoha didn't have the kind of automatic refresh function that the people of the Bitter Realm had at midnight every day, otherwise it would be even more perfect.

After several major incidents, both the green Barrier that protected the village before and the Shadow Guard who flew with wings gave the villagers a lot of security.

Of course, seeing the Little Blondie all over the mountains and plains gave them even more security. As long as you stood next to him, he could instantly take you to the Hospital, shelters, the Military Police Force, and various other places.

It was said that this kind of Ninjutsu was called logistics when delivering goods, and human flow when delivering people. Some people also said that this kind of Ninjutsu was called DiDi Da Ming, and they didn't know what it had to do with a rooster crowing, but it was very useful...

What they didn't know was that in the past six months, this Ninjutsu was mostly used to take the Hyuga Clan's young lady around, such as going to the Land of Snow to see snow, going to the Land of Grass to see grass, going to the Land of Bears to eat bears, and going to the Land of Birds to eat birds...

Hinata looked at the pitiful little bird and said, "Naruto-kun, this little bird is so cute, can we not eat it?"

The little bird, about to be plucked by Naruto, had a glimmer of hope in its eyes. This was a biped with a conscience!

"Cute?" Naruto looked at the little bird trying to get by with its cuteness and asked seriously, "Then when we roast it, should we add more chili powder or more cumin?"

Hinata tilted her head and thought seriously for a few seconds: "Um... cumin!"

The desperate little bird gave up struggling. Humans are all devils...

After eating the grilled meat in his hand, Naruto smeared a spot of oil on Hinata's face with a mischievous smile without even wiping his mouth.

Hinata exclaimed softly and returned a spot to Naruto's face, blushing.

Naruto hadn't expected this development, so he decided to add a few more spots with his hand, and the two flower-faced cats frolicked on the grass, laughing together.

When saying goodbye, Hinata said happily, "Naruto-kun, the new Ninjutsu I've been practicing is almost complete."

"Really? Then you must show it to me later." Naruto knew that Hinata was developing her own Ninjutsu, guessing that it was probably the Gentle Step Twin Lion Fists, but Hinata had been secretive, and Naruto didn't want to expose it, so he waited to see.

"I'm also about to learn Sage Mode. I can change my eyes and automatically apply eyeshadow. I'll perform it for you then."

"Okay!"

...

Gu Man

Mount Myoboku.

"Aaargh, how the hell do you do this damn thing!" Naruto frantically scratched his head. He'd already bragged so much, and Sage Mode was always just about to happen, but it just wouldn't. How was he going to explain this later!

Maybe he should ask Naruko how she does her eye shadow, and just draw some on?

Slap! Naruto smacked his forehead. He was so anxious he was getting muddled. Naruko is me! If I can't do it, the clone can't either!

Fukasaku watched Naruto's erratic behavior and kindly advised, "Little Naruto, I can sense that you're indeed close to learning it, but the more impatient you are now, the harder that final step will be."

"I know, but I can't control it..."

"Come now, let's try again." Fukasaku led Naruto back to the top of the stone pillar, and they each placed a stone slab down.

"Try to calm your mind, focus your spirit, and imagine you are just a stone..."

Naruto listened to Fukasaku's instructions and followed them step by step. I am just a stone, searching for the direction of home~

Whoosh~ Naruto fell and flew back up. He felt like he'd misremembered the lyrics, but damn you, Wang Toutiao!

"Fukasaku, could you not mention stones?"

"...Alright." Fukasaku knew that this child's associative abilities were too strange. The word "stone" probably reminded him of something memorable.

Fukasaku had no choice but to change his approach: "Calm down... feel the Natural Energy around you, and try to touch them little by little..."

Naruto tried hard to calm down, feeling like an enlightened monk in meditation.

Speaking of which, every time he came to cultivate immortality, sitting on the stone slab at the top of the stone pillar with Fukasaku gave him a sense of having wandered into Journey to the West.

Tang Sanzang also sat on a high platform with Tiger Strength Great Immortal to compete in meditation, and it seemed that whoever's heart wasn't calm would fall.

Eating a bite of Tang Sanzang's flesh could grant immortality. Naruto wondered if biting him would restore injuries. Naruto guessed that he and his mother might have this ability, but he hadn't tried it and didn't want to.

He'd wait until he was beaten half to death and Tsunade Nee-san and Sakura Bro couldn't do anything before resorting to desperate measures. However, with the Nine Tails Chakra's freakish ability to recover even from having his lungs pierced by Chidori, it probably wouldn't be necessary.

If it really worked, then would he become the Shinobi World's Uzumaki Sanzang? Where was Her Majesty the Queen?

Just thinking about that "Royal Brother" made him excited, but why was he only focused on the monkey back then?

Naruto's thoughts raced, and he fell off the stone slab again.

Fukasaku: ...

This lesson is impossible!

Naruto wasn't discouraged this time, because in the instant before he fell, he had indeed grasped a little bit of the feeling. Perhaps, maybe, possibly, perhaps... he was about to achieve great power?

Thinking of this, Naruto was once again full of motivation and began to try again and again.

This trial lasted until 1:30 in the morning. It was truly cultivating immortality while cultivating immortality.

In the end, Fukasaku couldn't hold on any longer and persuaded Naruto to go home.

Naruto was a little embarrassed when he left. He didn't want to delay the old man's rest, but it was like playing games at night. He'd said he'd sleep after winning one game, but ended up losing twenty in a row and staying up all night.
