The Limitless Naruto In Solo LEveLing

Chapter 43: Chapter 42 - What is Sung Jin-woo's Secret



The morning sun had barely reached its peak when Naruto arrived at the Hunter Association headquarters. Chief Inspector Woo Jin-Chul greeted him at the entrance, his usually stern expression softened slightly with respect. The inspector led Naruto through the building's pristine corridors toward the meeting room where Chairman Go Gun-Hee awaited.

The large meeting room doors opened to reveal a spacious chamber dominated by a polished conference table. Chairman Go Gun-Hee sat at its head, studying various documents spread before him. Upon noticing Naruto's entrance, the elderly chairman's face brightened with a genuine smile.

"Welcome, Naruto. Punctual as always," Chairman Go Gun-Hee said warmly, motioning toward the chair opposite him. "Please, make yourself comfortable."

"Thank you, Chairman," Naruto responded with quiet dignity, settling into the offered seat. Chief Inspector Woo Jin-Chul silently withdrew, closing the heavy doors behind him with a soft click.

"Before we begin, I must commend you on your recent achievement in Bangladesh," the chairman began, his eyes sparkling with admiration. "Clearing an S-Rank gate in twenty-three minutes - truly remarkable work."

Naruto acknowledged the praise with a modest nod. "I appreciate the kind words, Chairman, though I suspect there's another reason for today's meeting."

"Perceptive as ever," Go Gun-Hee chuckled, shuffling through the papers before him. "We're here to address your guild formation request. While our regulations typically require a minimum number of hunters for raid teams, your unique circumstances warrant special consideration. Given your S-Rank status and the extraordinary capabilities of your clones, we've decided to approve your request to count each clone as an individual guild member."

The chairman paused for a moment, his expression growing more serious. "Furthermore, the Association has given you permission to conduct solo raids," he said.

Naruto nodded. "That's good, I guess. Does that mean I can start with the process of creating my own guild?" he asked.

"Yes, no issues there," the chairman replied. "By the way, have you given any thought to a name for your guild?" he asked curiously.

Naruto's face suddenly shifted, and a realization dawned on him. *Name... I didn't even consider the fact that I have to come up with a name for my guild... How careless of me,* he thought to himself.

Noticing the change in Naruto's expression, Chairman Go understood the answer without needing to hear it. "It's not a big deal. I'm sure you'll come up with a very good name soon for your guild. But remember, the guild name represents what you and your guild stand for," he said wisely.

"I understand," Naruto replied thoughtfully, his mind already beginning to ponder the possibilities.

After finishing his discussion with Chairman Go Gun Hee and completing the necessary paperwork, Naruto exited the meeting room, accompanied by Chief Woo Jin Chul.

"So, you're planning to create your own guild now?" Woo Jin Chul asked as they stepped into the elevator to head to the ground floor of the headquarters.

"Yeah, I guess so," Naruto replied, leaning slightly against the elevator wall behind him. "By the way, about the manager..."

"She's already here," Chief Woo said, checking something on his phone before putting it back. "I told her to be at the Association headquarters."

As he spoke, Naruto's phone rang with an incoming call. Naruto pulled out his phone. "Good. Hand over all the documents to my clone. I'll be there soon, but it might take a little time."

"No problem, Naruto-nim," Namjoon's voice replied, maintaining his respectful tone. "Your clone has already taken care of everything. The paperwork is complete."

"Good to hear," Naruto replied, still leaning against the elevator wall.

"We're even now, Naruto-nim," Namjoon remarked with a hint of satisfaction in his voice.

"Yes, we are. I appreciate your support," Naruto replied before hanging up.

After putting his phone away, Naruto focused his attention back on Chief Woo. "Shall we go up to meet Ms. Park now?"

As they stepped out of the elevator and headed to the ground floor, Chief Woo guided Naruto to the lounge. Out of the corner of his eye, Naruto noticed Park Min-ji. Her professional demeanor was clear from her well-fitted navy suit to her impeccably styled shoulder-length hair.

She was reviewing documents on her tablet when they approached, promptly standing to greet them with practiced grace. Her keen eyes quickly took in Naruto as she offered a perfect bow.

"Hunter Naruto," she greeted, her voice a blend of warmth and authority. "I'm Park Min-ji. I've been looking forward to collaborating with you."

"Likewise, Ms. Park," Naruto replied. "I believe you're already aware of the reason for your presence here, correct?"

She nodded, "Yes, I do."

"Great. Shall we go over the contract then?" Naruto suggested.

...

About thirty minutes later, in Chief Woo's presence in one of the ground floor lounge rooms, the contract between Naruto and Park Min-ji was finalized. It included a four-month trial period for her role as his personal manager, independent of any guild obligations.

"Do you agree to all these terms?" Naruto asked.

"Yes, I do. It's not every day you get to work with one of the world's strongest hunters," she remarked. Naruto raised an eyebrow at her comment. "Apologies... I'll maintain professionalism from now on."

"Good," he reassured her.

With that, she left the building, having received the address of her new workplace from Naruto.

"Thank you for your assistance, Chief Inspector Woo," Naruto said, extending his hand. Woo Jin Chul accepted it, and they shook hands firmly. "I'll be on my way then..."

As Chief Woo released his hand and turned to leave the room, he expected Naruto to follow. However, to his surprise, Naruto didn't.

"By the way, what's your guild's name...?" Chief Woo asked, glancing back. To his astonishment, Naruto had vanished, leaving him to sigh slightly. He realized he would have to get used to Naruto's sudden disappearances.

...

"Is he using the key again?" Naruto's shadow clone thought as he watched Sung Jin-woo, not really surprised. Once again, Sung Jin-woo appeared in an unexpected spot and, just like before, pulled a key from nowhere.

It had been a while since Naruto first met him in the hospital. Since then, Sung Jin-woo had changed a lot. Now, he seemed to be at the level of a lower A-Rank Hunter.

Sung Jin-woo took the key and appeared to insert it into an invisible lock that Naruto couldn't see, but he could sense the magical energy flowing from it, so it was definitely there. A faint light flickered as Sung Jin-woo stepped forward, and in an instant, he vanished from the clone's sight. But this time was different...

"I've got this," the clone whispered. In a flash, he activated the Flying Thunder seal on him. "Let's uncover your secret, Sung Jin-woo..."
