Naruto Dream Fulfillment Master

Page 243

"Um... Lord Danzo, right?"

Naruto was completely confused by Danzo's words and couldn't help but ask, "Shouldn't Sasuke have performed the best in the Chunin Exams? I didn't even play in the final round, so what did I do...?"

Naruto scratched his head, looking a little embarrassed.

He genuinely felt he had nothing to boast about; Sasuke had far outshone him during the exams.

A casual remark caused Danzo's expression to change slightly.

The series of unexpected events and setbacks made the old consultant furious: "Why does this nine-tailed brat have so many problems!"

Danzo muttered to himself, a vein throbbing on his forehead, revealing a somewhat embarrassed expression.

But who is Danzo?

Having seen his share of storms, this embarrassing situation was nothing to him.

Danzo quickly composed himself and nodded with a forced smile, saying, "Really? You're quite modest."

Danzo then dropped the topic that had put him in an awkward position.

He reached into his robes and slowly took out a scroll from the inner pocket of his chest.

Danzo held the scroll in his hand, nodded slightly, and solemnly handed it to Naruto.

"This is something I prepared especially for you!" Danzo said solemnly, with a hint of smugness. "This kind of thing isn't something just anyone can get."

He narrowed his single eye slightly, looking Naruto up and down: "Your chakra nature is wind, right? This scroll contains a powerful wind-style ninjutsu. I've pondered it for a long time and feel that only this technique can best reflect my appreciation and help your strength grow rapidly."

Upon hearing this, everyone in the room immediately turned their attention to the scroll.

Karin and Shizune both widened their eyes in unison, unable to resist wanting to see what kind of secret technique was inside the scroll.

Tsunade narrowed her eyes, a hint of inquiry and curiosity flashing across them.

Although the Shimura clan did not have many descendants or encourage its members to have more children, and instead focused on infighting, the Shimura clan was far less numerous than the Sarutobi clan.

After Danzo sacrificed himself to seal the bridge, the Ninja War still had three thousand members of the Sarutobi clan, but it was difficult to even find ninjas from the Shimura clan with the three surnames.

However, as a major clan that joined Konoha along with the Sarutobi clan, he does possess some rather powerful and unique Wind Release techniques.

If Danzo is willing to spend this much, then he has truly gone all out.

After all, the gifts Tsunade brought today were nothing more than ramen ingredients that Naruto loves to eat and nutritional supplements. In terms of improving a ninja's strength, they are naturally far less practical than precious ninjutsu.

Naruto was completely stunned.

He never expected that the strange old man he met for the first time would immediately teach him ninjutsu!

Isn't this treatment a bit too good?

Even more coincidentally, Naruto was annoyed that Kakashi-sensei had left halfway through.

There's no training mission today, so I'm just doing nothing. The ninjutsu that came to my doorstep is exactly what I wanted!

"Thank...thank you?"

Naruto was filled with surprise. He quickly took the scroll with both hands and carefully examined it.

Upon seeing this, Danzo raised his chin slightly, his smugness deepening.

He stood with his hands behind his back, adopting the posture of a master instructing a junior, and slowly said, "Do you know? The ninjutsu in this scroll is my signature technique! I never teach it to just anyone."

Upon hearing this, Naruto became even more curious and expectant.

He took a deep breath, carefully unsealed the scroll, and then unfurled it with a "whoosh."

The large characters on the scroll immediately jumped into Naruto's eyes—

"Wind Release: Great Breakthrough".

Naruto was stunned for a moment, his expression changing rapidly.

The initial excitement froze into confusion the moment the name of the technique was seen, followed by a strange look of bewilderment that was hard to believe.

However, Danzo completely failed to notice the change in Naruto's expression.

He was currently basking in his own image of "generous gifts," and was spouting off to himself, "So, Naruto Uzumaki?"

"This is a C-rank ninjutsu! It's not even in the same league as the Three Body Techniques you learn at the Ninja Academy."

Danzo earnestly instructed, "I hope you can master this ninjutsu and bring glory to Konoha in the future, carrying forward the Will of Fire! As long as you work hard, Konoha will never let you down!"

After saying that, he raised his hand and patted Naruto's shoulder, his posture condescending, as if he were bestowing a favor.

"Uh……"

Naruto was jolted by the slap and let out a strange soft sound, momentarily at a loss for how to respond.

Karin, standing to the side, was incredibly curious.

Seeing Naruto unfurl the scroll, she couldn't help but peek over to take a look.

When Karin saw the name of the technique, she was stunned at first, and then she showed a strange expression just like Naruto.

Danzo noticed Karin's subtle movements, frowned, and said unhappily, "Who are you? How dare you peek at my secret ninjutsu?"

Karin was scolded by him, her pretty face turned pale, and she quickly took half a step back, not daring to say another word.

Tsunade was about to lash out when she saw her disciple was frightened, but before she could speak...

Danzo had already realized that Karin was now living with Naruto.

If we were to attack her at this moment and upset Naruto, it would be a losing proposition.

Thinking of this, Danzo swallowed the rest of his words, only letting out a cold snort and waving his hand with a gloomy face, saying, "I'll let it go this time, but don't let it happen again!"

The room returned to quiet.

Danzo nodded in satisfaction, his gaze returning to Naruto.

Naruto stared at the scroll in his hand, saying nothing.

Danzo thought Naruto was too happy to speak, and he became even more smug.

As expected, he was just a genin who had just graduated and had never seen the world.

I doted on him a little, and the little devil was so grateful he cried and obeyed obediently.

In fact, ever since he learned of the existence of the dream world, Danzo had paid special attention to the dream records that Kakashi submitted.

However, it was out of concern for Naruto and Sasuke, to prevent them from being targeted by malicious individuals.

Kakashi's dream records do mention Naruto and Sasuke training in their dreams.

However, no specific details about the practice were recorded.

Therefore, in Danzo's stereotype, Naruto was still the bottom-ranked student at the ninja academy who almost failed to graduate.

He never imagined that the true strength of this blond kid in front of him was already far beyond what it used to be.

Just as Danzo was secretly plotting how to further strengthen their relationship, Naruto finally raised his head.

He clicked his tongue awkwardly, rolled up the scroll in his hand again, and then handed it back to Danzo with both hands: "Um... I'll return the scroll to you."

"Ok?"

Danzo was taken aback, thinking he had misheard.

Seeing that he didn't accept it, Naruto had to awkwardly explain, "Thank you for your kindness, but... I already know this ninjutsu, so I don't need it."

As soon as he finished speaking, the air in the living room seemed to freeze instantly.

Danzo's smile froze on the spot, his smug expression as if someone had poured a bucket of cold water on his head.

He stared wide-eyed in disbelief: "W-what did you say?!"

"Wind Release: Great Breakthrough!"

Naruto scratched his head and said matter-of-factly, "I've already learned this C-rank ninjutsu. What's so special about it? Don't even mention it, I've learned several A-rank wind-style ninjutsu!"

Upon hearing this, Jingyin could no longer hold back and quickly lowered her head to cover her mouth and giggle, her delicate shoulders shaking.

Tsunade, however, became even more unrestrained and burst out laughing.

"Hahaha, Danzo, you really have the nerve! You think you can present a mere C-rank ninjutsu as a gift?!"

Tsunade put her hands on her hips and laughed jokingly.

"Varied--?!"

Danzo's face turned pale, then red and then white, looking as ugly as if he had swallowed a fly.

He never expected that his prized gift would be rejected, especially in front of Tsunade!

"Impossible, this is impossible-"

Danzo's hand holding the scroll trembled slightly, and he muttered to himself, "How could you have already learned it? This brat... this brat..."

He was shocked, angry, and embarrassed, but Naruto's innocent expression showed no sign of lying.

Recalling Naruto's words earlier, "I've learned several A-rank ninjutsu," Danzo felt a sharp pang in his heart.

When did this twelve-year-old genin become so outrageous?!

Danzo snorted coldly, his face ashen, and without saying goodbye, he turned and left, leaning on his cane, his heart filled with rage.

Seeing this, Shizune could no longer hold back and burst out laughing, clutching her stomach: "I-I'm sorry, Lady Tsunade... I just couldn't help it..."

Tsunade herself was all smiles. She waved her hand and said, "It's alright. I was almost bursting with pent-up frustration myself. Hmph, let that old guy taste what it's like to run into a wall."

With that, Tsunade turned to Naruto and Karin, and said in a loud voice, "Listen carefully, you two. Danzo is treacherous and cunning; he's no saint. His sudden attempt to curry favor with you today is simply to make you remember his kindness so you can use him in the future. Be wary of any benefits he offers you in the future, understand?"

"Oh." Naruto nodded, seemingly understanding.

Karin solemnly replied, "Understood, Master."

Tsunade nodded in satisfaction and gently patted Naruto's shoulder: "Well... Naruto, you did a good job today!"

"Well done! That's truly gratifying!"

"Hey hey hey!"

Naruto, flattered by Tsunade's praise, scratched his head and grinned sheepishly.

Shizune, carrying the piglet, stepped forward and couldn't help but softly praise, "Naruto, your reaction just now was so clever!"

"W-Where..." Naruto scratched his face sheepishly, "I-I didn't mean to..."
