[No, where did you get the idea that Naruto has great talent?]
[He easily learned the Shadow Clone Jutsu a Forbidden Technique in one night. Later, he achieved Perfect Sage Mode, surpassing even Jiraiya. Doesn't that prove it?]
[But Naruto doesn't have any nature transformations or other Ninjutsu other than Rasengan, right? When it comes to the academic study of Ninjutsu, Naruto's talent is genuinely lacking.]
[Naruto certainly has talent, but it's not the talent of a scholar; it's the unique talent of a Shonen Protagonist: Battle IQ.]
[The Shadow Clone is essentially an XP cheat code prepared specifically for someone with his chakra reserves. Sage Mode focuses more on sensing and Chakra control. His variations of the Rasengan show combat creativity—the ability to adapt quickly in battle. That is certainly a type of talent, but strictly speaking, he's not a Ninjutsu genius like Kakashi or Orochimaru.]
[He uses one move, Rasengan, from start to finish. Are you telling me that counts as a wide arsenal?]
[Regardless of the category, talent is talent. The kid is a powerhouse.]
Lines of floating text drifted across the screen. Although most of the banter was trivial, some of the analysis caught the attention of the heavyweights of the Ninja World.
[A (Fourth Raikage): The entire Ninja World should bow down to Iruka? What nonsense. He's just a Chunin teacher. How strong can he be?]
[Mei Terumi: Raikage-sama should be careful with his words. That boy will become the Savior of the Ninja World in the future. Iruka guided the Savior.]
[Rasa (Fourth Kazekage): A Savior who only knows the Shadow Clone Jutsu? And a Jinchuriki at that? It sounds more like a weapon than a savior.]
[A: Hmph. A Jinchuriki is certainly strong, but they aren't invincible. My brother could crush him.]
[Onoki: Did you old fools miss the other details? Naruto doesn't just know Shadow Clones; the comments mentioned the Rasengan—the Ninjutsu created by the Fourth Hokage. Plus, Sage Mode... isn't that a Senjutsu used by Jiraiya of the Sannin?]
[Rasa: Rasengan and Sage Mode? Could he possibly become Jiraiya's disciple later on?]
[Onoki: It's highly possible. And since Jiraiya taught him the Rasengan, he might also teach him the Flying Thunder God. The old man sees that the boy also has golden hair... Konoha might produce another Yellow Flash.]
[A: The Yellow Flash? If he becomes a speedster like the Fourth Hokage, he could indeed bring great disaster to the other nations.]
[Jiraiya: Hey, hey, don't talk nonsense up there. The Flying Thunder God is too difficult. Even I don't know it. Even if I wanted to teach it, I couldn't.]
[Hiruzen Sarutobi: Jiraiya? You can speak here too? Wait... where is Tsunade?]
[Tsunade: Shut up, old man. I don't want to say anything here. Watching the drama is much more interesting.]
[Onoki: Just as I thought. It turns out not only a few of us can communicate in this channel.]
[A: Bee! Answer me! Can you communicate here too?!]
[Mei Terumi: It seems many people can communicate but have chosen to remain silent to observe.]
[Rasa: Konoha's Naruto seems to have been the first to speak, but now he's quiet. Likely silenced by his superiors.]
[Onoki: Also Uchiha Sasuke, a survivor of the Uchiha Clan...]
With the appearance of Jiraiya and Tsunade in the chat, the Five Kage realized that the communication channel was broader than they thought. Many were likely listening in, hiding in the shadows to prevent information leaks.
Meanwhile, in the Hidden Cloud Village, the Fourth Raikage, A, had already smashed through a wall and rushed out to find his rapping younger brother.
[Onoki: Getting back to the topic... what do you all think about this 'Savior of the Ninja World'?]
[Rasa: This matter concerns the safety of the entire Ninja World. I propose taking Naruto out of Konoha. We cannot let the 'Savior' continue living in such a hostile environment.]
[Mei Terumi: Exactly. If he turns dark because of Konoha's mistreatment, we all suffer. For the sake of global security, he should be relocated.]
Onoki brought the topic back, and the other Kage immediately pounced, feigning concern for Naruto's mental health.
In truth, they didn't believe the "Savior" prophecy—or at least, they didn't care. The reason they spoke this way was merely to use the title to pressure Konoha. If they could force the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki out of the Leaf Village, the balance of power would shift.
[Hiruzen Sarutobi: Everyone, rest assured. Naruto is safe here in Konoha, and no problems will arise. Since he concerns the future safety of the Ninja World, it is best that we do not interfere with his destiny. Let the Will of Fire guide him.]
Hiruzen Sarutobi was an old fox; naturally, he saw through their ploy. He refused to yield an inch, while simultaneously seizing the opportunity to solidify Naruto's title as the "Savior."
Even if it was just an empty title for now, it boosted Konoha's prestige.
[Tsunade: Alright, old man, zip it. Your political speech is interrupting my video.]
Tsunade cut off the Kage's scheming. To her, their posturing was just noise delaying the entertainment.
[On the screen, Naruto had successfully graduated, but trouble had already found him. He was at the registration office, and his ninja registration photo was... unique.
His face was covered in Kabuki-style makeup, looking utterly ridiculous. He thought it looked cool and artistic.
"Retake it."
The Third Hokage, holding the photo, flatly rejected it.
"No way!"
Naruto refused to compromise. The two stared at each other, the atmosphere in the Hokage's office growing tense.
"Transform!"
Seeing that the stubborn old man wouldn't budge, Naruto had no choice but to resort to his ultimate weapon.
"Sexy Jutsu!"
POOF!
A cloud of smoke, a sultry figure, and...
SPLASH!
Even the God of Shinobi couldn't resist this move. Hiruzen sprayed a massive amount of blood from his nose, collapsing backward.
"Honestly... to use such a vulgar Ninjutsu on the Hokage..." Hiruzen groaned, wiping the blood from his face as he sat up.
"Hehe!" Naruto chuckled, pleased with his victory.
The Third Hokage composed himself and began a lecture about the importance of the Ninja Archives and the gravity of being a shinobi. But just as he was getting to the point—
Bam!
The door flew open.
"Old man! Let's have a showdown!"
A small boy with a long blue scarf charged into the room holding a shuriken. It was Konohamaru Sarutobi, the Hokage's grandson.
He rushed toward Hiruzen, demanding a duel, but in his excitement, he stepped on his own scarf.
Thud!
He face-planted spectacularly onto the wooden floor.
"Ouch... was that a trap?"
Konohamaru rubbed his bruised head. Looking around the room, his eyes fixed on Naruto. In his mind, there was only one explanation.
"You set a trap for me, didn't you?!"
"You clearly tripped yourself, you idiot!"
Naruto, having zero patience for stupidity, grabbed Konohamaru by the collar and lifted him off the ground.
"Unhand him!"
Ebisu, a Tokubetsu Jonin wearing sunglasses, rushed in. He immediately announced Konohamaru's identity as the "Honorable Grandson" of the Hokage, expecting Naruto to bow and scrape.
But Naruto didn't care about titles.
WHAM!
Naruto punched Konohamaru squarely in the face, knocking him down instantly.
Ebisu panicked, trying to lecture Konohamaru about not associating with "that sort of trash."
However, the reaction was unexpected. Because Konohamaru was the Hokage's grandson, everyone in the village treated him with kid gloves. They saw his title, not him.
But Naruto? Naruto didn't care. He punched him just like he would punch anyone else.
Konohamaru's eyes lit up. He immediately took a liking to this rule-breaker. Ignoring Ebisu's protests, he began following Naruto around the village.
"Boss! Teach me that Jutsu! The Sexy Jutsu!"
Konohamaru shamelessly accepted Naruto as his 'Boss' and begged to learn the technique that defeated his grandfather.]
