Furthermore, the pattern on Kawasaki's Eternal Eye remains unchanged, so it is not visible on the outside.
I sensed a surge in chakra and eye power.
Now I no longer have to worry about my pupils running out of power.
Kawasaki thought contentedly and fell into a deep sleep.
Kawasaki slept until noon on the third day, undisturbed.
In fact, Fugaku had already come to check on him and found that Kawasaki was simply sleeping, not unconscious.
He sighed at the "gap in the sky".
The energy expenditure was so great that I didn't call him number 1.
Kawasaki woke up feeling very hungry.
After drinking some water, he sped off towards Konoha's Eighth Street.
There's a place called Eighth Street in Konoha Village.
A restaurant called 'Chinese Cuisine'
After the small shop became popular.
Naruto and Sasuke became die-hard fans; Naruto became obsessed with stinky tofu, while Sasuke was a loyal fan of hot and sour noodles.
That day, Naruto, who came in last place again in the ninjutsu test, dragged Sasuke to the Eighth Street as soon as the school bell rang, to enjoy their favorite snacks.
Naruto, while eating stinky tofu, enthusiastically recommended it to Sasuke:
"Sasuke, seriously, you have to try this fried stinky tofu, it's really delicious!"
Sasuke turned his head away with a look of disgust: "Forget it, it stinks too much. My breath will smell bad after eating it."
Naruto sighed inwardly, feeling that Sasuke was ungrateful, while also pondering the results of this test.
Naruto has the Nine-Tails sealed inside him, and his chakra extraction process is always chaotic.
Transformation techniques, in particular, which require precise control of chakra, are unstable and sometimes effective.
He once imitated Sasuke, creating a "Sasuke" in his persona.
While not exactly the same, they are very similar.
But things always go wrong in class, and the transformation effect often doesn't even look like a human.
Therefore, unsurprisingly, he finished last in the exam again.
Naruto felt a mix of emotions, though he didn't understand why.
But he always had a feeling that something was interfering with his chakra flow.
Naruto, lost in thought, unconsciously slowed his pace. Sasuke turned around and saw Naruto's gloomy expression.
Thinking he was still troubled by what had just happened, Sasuke thought for a moment and reluctantly said:
"Um, stinky tofu, I can try a small bite too."
Naruto's eyes lit up immediately upon hearing this.
He immediately forgot about the fact that his transformation technique was not up to par, picked up a piece of stinky tofu and put it to Sasuke's mouth.
"Well..."
Sasuke forced himself to endure the strange smell and chewed a few times.
Unexpectedly, the dark outer layer was surprisingly crispy, and the aroma, spiciness, saltiness, and sauce flavors directly assaulted the taste buds.
Sasuke was immediately captivated by the aroma and quickly took Naruto's stinky tofu and began to devour it.
Naruto was stunned.
What's going on? They just said they weren't going to eat it!
"Leave some for me, hey!"
The two then engaged in a struggle.
After some playful banter, Sasuke emerged victorious. After all, Naruto hadn't really intended to take it back, so Sasuke ate it.
At that moment, a figure descended from the sky.
"What are you two doing, fooling around in the street?"
The newcomer was Uchiha Kawasaki, carrying several strings of candied hawthorns.
He tapped Naruto on the head with one hand, and then gave Sasuke a tap with the other.
Sasuke's face beamed with a smile. His teacher, Kawasaki, was never pretentious and was very easy to get along with.
Kawasaki hasn't come to pick them up in a while.
Naruto was a little reserved when he met Kawasaki, after all, Kawasaki had helped him so much.
But it's really hard to believe that his ninjutsu performance was so poor.
Seeing that Naruto wasn't as lively as usual, Kawasaki gave each of them a candied hawthorn stick:
"What's wrong? You look so gloomy. Don't you want to see me?"
Naruto stammered, momentarily speechless.
Sasuke spoke first, telling Kawasaki, "Teacher, Naruto didn't do well on the ninjutsu test this time."
"Oh?"
Kawasaki looked at Sasuke with a slight smile, while Sasuke gave him a "come ask me about my grades" look.
Emoji.
"And you, how are your ninjutsu scores?"
Kawasaki asked casually.
Sasuke puffed out his chest and said smugly, "I'm not like Naruto. Of course I'm number one."
"Hehehe, not bad, as expected of Sasuke. I'll have the clan leader reward you properly when we get back."
Kawasaki casually praised him, after all, Sasuke was still young and hadn't reached his rebellious phase yet.
A few words of praise are enough to make him happy.
If this happened in the future, you'd probably get a beating; you'd have to step on his face before he'd submit to you.
Naruto became even more unhappy when he heard Kawasaki praising Sasuke.
His physical skills are not bad, but he is helpless when it comes to ninjutsu.
Sometimes, the chakra within my body just won't obey my commands.
Kawasaki ruffled Naruto's hair: "Don't look so long. It's just one bad test. You'll do better next time."
Naruto rubbed his face, trying to appear less disappointed:
“Kawasaki-senpai, this time is different. When I’m refining chakra, I always feel like something is interfering with my chakra.”
"I can usually use the transformation technique well, but I always make mistakes during exams. I don't know why."
...
Kawasaki looked around; the Anbu members were still closely following Naruto.
Even speaking slightly loudly could be monitored.
Kawasaki casually shoved the candied strawberry into Naruto's mouth:
"If there's a problem, just solve it. Come on, let's sit down, and you can tell me slowly."
With that, Kawasaki led Naruto and Sasuke to sit down on a nearby bench.
Listen to Naruto describe in detail how the transformation jutsu failed during each exam or practice session with his classmates.
Sasuke listened intently, as he was also very curious.
Naruto has used the Transformation Jutsu on himself before, and it's almost perfect every time, but he always messes up at crucial moments.
After listening, Kawasaki was already thinking about other things.
A year has passed, and Naruto is almost seven years old.
Unexpectedly, the Nine-Tails inside him started causing trouble as soon as the school began teaching chakra refining techniques.
Although Naruto's seal was very strong, the Nine-Tails' chakra was extremely vast.
Even a tiny leak would be enough to make Naruto completely lose control of his chakra.
Now that my strength has improved considerably, shouldn't I try to recruit elites from outside the Uchiha clan?
People were coming and going around him, and Naruto stammered as he spoke, since he had no family and only regarded Kawasaki as an elder.
Kawasaki gently stroked Naruto's hair and said, "Naruto, think about it again."
Naruto looked confused: "What are you thinking about?"
Kawasaki then used his eye power, bringing his consciousness into the depths of Naruto's consciousness, instantly entering Naruto's mental world.
Naruto looked around nervously, and only relaxed when he found Kawasaki right beside him.
At this moment, they were in an ordinary corridor, with a huge prison door connecting heaven and earth in the distance.
The mental world is a reflection of reality. Because Naruto's life has improved a lot, there is no dampness or cold here.
"Kawasaki-senpai, where is this place?"
Kawasaki sensed his surroundings and indeed detected two streams of chakra, which should belong to the Fourth Hokage and his wife.
But they didn't show up, probably because they wanted to wait until Naruto grew up.
Kawasaki doesn't play by the rules; he won't wait for Naruto and the fox to grow up together.
After all, Naruto's living environment is much better now, so it's hard to say whether he can reach a consensus with Kurama.
He smiled faintly: "Naruto, this is your inner world."
"The mind...world?"
Naruto was filled with questions.
