Sasuke looked puzzled, but he couldn't explain why.
The man leading the way, Minato, had a smile on his lips.
Silly boy, we have a long time to spend together.
Led by Minato, the group quickly arrived at the third training ground.
"Okay, your mentors, let me introduce myself."
My name is...
Minato turned his hand over and glanced at it without making a sound.
"My name is Shingo Ikeda."
This name Orochimaru-sama gave me is really awful; it's not even as good as my original name.
"Next, it's everyone's turn to introduce themselves."
Although you were classmates before, if you're going to fight together in the future, you need to understand each other better.
"You can talk about your dreams, things you like and dislike, and your hobbies."
Konoha Village.
Third training ground.
While Hinata was still thinking after hearing Shingo's words, Naruto had already raised his hand.
"Come on, Naruto, you go first."
Naruto looked intently into Shingo's eyes and said:
"Shingo-sensei, since you'll be guiding us from now on..."
"Then please introduce yourself, teacher."
Shingo laughed loudly, and Naruto's eyes suddenly sharpened. This laugh made him even more certain of his thoughts.
It really was you, Dad.
"Then I'll speak first."
"I love cooking, I hate wasting time, and my dream is to live happily with my family."
When he spoke of his dreams, a glint of light flashed in Minato's eyes.
Naruto grinned and said:
"My name is Naruto Uzumaki. I like to eat ramen and stinky tofu. My favorite person is Kawasaki-senpai."
Because he gave me a better life.
"The thing I hate most is being all alone."
"My dream is to kill Obito!"
He spoke his last sentence with great conviction.
Since learning about the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, Naruto has become more mature.
He knows far more information than others.
Kawasaki had already told him that Obito was the murderer of his parents.
Because of Fugaku's blindness, Naruto hated Obito even more.
From the few words he exchanged with the Nine-Tails, he also learned how many people had died in the Nine-Tails' rampage.
This intensified Naruto's hatred for Obito.
But this was the first time he had said such a thing.
Minato trembled slightly upon hearing this.
But he calmly said:
"Sure, Naruto's introduction is great."
Next up, Sasuke.
Sasuke clenched his fists and said in a serious tone:
"My name is Uchiha Sasuke, and I like the feeling of competition."
As he said this, his gaze involuntarily drifted towards Naruto.
"I hate that my brother always treats me like a child."
"My dream is to kill Obito and become the new pillar of the Uchiha clan!"
Obito's Nine-Tails attack many years ago brought immense suffering to the Uchiha clan.
Although Sasuke hadn't experienced it firsthand, he knew quite a bit about it.
Furthermore, the harm he caused to his father and brother, including blinding his father, strengthened Sasuke's resolve to eliminate Obito.
Neither my father nor my brother have the Mangekyou Sharingan anymore.
He must awaken the Mangekyou Sharingan to become the new hope of the Uchiha clan!
Upon hearing that Naruto and Sasuke both dreamed of killing Obito, Minato couldn't help but sigh.
But he wasn't bothered by this issue, even though Obito was his former student.
Based on what Obito did back then, Minato wouldn't let him off the hook.
Minato gave Hinata a warm smile and said:
"Hinata, it's your turn."
Hinata blushed slightly, but she saw how generous Naruto was.
So she added, "My name is Hinata Hyuga, and I like cooking."
There's nothing I particularly dislike...
Hinata pursed her lips, thought of her strict father, and shook her head.
"A dream is..."
Hinata glanced at Naruto furtively, her face turning even redder, but ultimately she didn't say anything.
Hinata remained silent, and Naruto couldn't help but ask, "Hinata, why aren't you saying anything?"
Hinata simply shook her head, blushing.
Naruto scratched his head, and although he was a little curious, he didn't ask any more questions.
Sasuke glanced at Hinata but didn't say anything.
These subtle actions, of course, did not escape Minato's notice.
Minato was incredibly charismatic back then; he could see right through a little girl's mindset.
Minato grew increasingly pleased with Hinata.
Could it be that Kawasaki deliberately teamed Hinata up with Naruto?
No, I need to find a chance to ask him about it.
Minato remained outwardly calm and said, "Very well, I have a general idea now."
"Finally, let me talk about my best ninjutsu. There will be practical training tomorrow."
Minato smiled and said to the three of them:
"Naruto, there are no ANBU watching here."
Naruto and Sasuke both showed different reactions, with Naruto's eyes lighting up.
Sasuke looked puzzled, secretly observing Minato, his thoughts unreadable.
Hinata looked completely bewildered, not understanding the meaning of those words at all.
Naruto stood up and used the Shadow Clone Technique.
Reaching out, with the help of the clone, he shaped something into a ball.
Minato knew that Naruto could make this ball, and he even knew how Naruto trained.
He could see it very clearly when he was inside Naruto.
It's unclear why Kawasaki taught Naruto this training method.
But Minato was especially happy that Naruto was able to learn this technique.
However, when Naruto was practicing, Kurama's chakra would always inadvertently interfere with him, so he needed to use shadow clones to help.
If it's now, then it's probably not necessary.
I need to help Naruto get rid of this habit in the future.
Minato said with a smile:
"That's the Rasengan, it's a really powerful move."
After saying that, Minato stretched out his right hand and conjured a Rasengan as well.
Naruto grinned from ear to ear when he saw the Rasengan in Shingo's hand.
Sasuke, standing nearby, was taken aback, recalling how much Naruto had suffered when practicing this move.
He also knew that this technique was the Fourth Hokage's signature move, and not many people could use it.
Unexpectedly, the teacher who was leading them also knew this.
And why does Naruto trust this teacher so much?
Back in school, Naruto had never used this move in front of anyone.
Sasuke felt that Naruto was hiding something, but he had no clue what it was.
Hinata used her Byakugan to look at the spinning ball in the two people's hands and sensed its immense power.
I felt a little uneasy and nervous.
Naruto is really amazing, I'm still a long way from that level.
