Naruto Dream Fulfillment Master

Page 35

Even Kakashi, a Konoha technician, couldn't help but gasp upon hearing this: "There's such a forbidden technique? That means if Naruto repeatedly falls into those strange dreams, his chakra will be continuously drained until his life is exhausted?"

Hiruzen Sarutobi nodded slowly: "Theoretically, that's true. But Kakashi, don't be too nervous. What I mentioned is just an ancient legend from hundreds of years ago, and it's hard to tell if it's true or not. Moreover, this forbidden technique has long been lost, and we don't even know if what's happening to Naruto now is the same thing."

He waved his hand, signaling Kakashi to calm down. "That's why I'm asking you, has Naruto shown any unusual behavior lately? For example, has he shown any signs of weakness, or a sudden decrease in chakra?"

Kakashi thought for a moment and then solemnly replied, "No. As of now, Naruto is perfectly normal, his movements are as usual, and his chakra is stable."

Upon hearing this, Hiruzen Sarutobi let out a soft breath, his expression relaxing slightly: "That's good."

Kakashi nodded, feeling a little relieved.

However, the next second, Hiruzen Sarutobi suddenly narrowed his eyes and asked meaningfully, "By the way, Kakashi, I've noticed... Naruto seems to be practicing the Rasengan lately."

"This—" Kakashi's pupils contracted slightly, and he was momentarily speechless.

Hiruzen Sarutobi picked up the pipe from the table, took a light puff, and slowly exhaled the smoke, his cloudy yet deep eyes fixed on Kakashi.

"Even though it was a technique developed by the Fourth Hokage, isn't it a bit too early for you to start teaching him this now?"

Kakashi didn't know if the other party had sensed something and was giving him a warning, or if they simply thought Naruto was learning the Rasengan too early.

"Lord Hokage..." Kakashi opened his mouth, but didn't know how to explain.

He certainly didn't teach Naruto the Rasengan, but it's a fact that Naruto has mastered it now.

If we don't report the truth as soon as possible, I'm afraid Hiruzen Sarutobi will become even more suspicious.

Thinking of this, Kakashi steeled his heart and said in a deep voice, "Lord Hokage, this involves a strange dream."

"Oh?" A glint flashed in Hiruzen Sarutobi's eyes. "What is it?"

Kakashi took a deep breath and solemnly said, "Regarding Naruto's training in the Rasengan... it wasn't me who taught him, but rather—the Fourth Hokage."

Upon hearing this, Hiruzen Sarutobi's hand holding the pipe trembled violently, almost dropping it to the ground.

His eyes widened in disbelief: "Who did you say? The Fourth Hokage? Minato...?"

“Yes.” Kakashi nodded solemnly. “It was the Fourth Hokage, Minato Namikaze, my teacher. He… taught Naruto the Rasengan in a dream.”

A brief silence fell over the office.

Hiruzen Sarutobi stared blankly at his usually calm and reliable subordinate, momentarily wondering if he had misheard.

He frowned and said, "Kakashi, you're not under some kind of genjutsu, are you mistaking a dream for reality? Minato... he's been dead for many years."

Kakashi gave a wry smile: "Hokage-sama, I am very clear-headed, and that is precisely why I feel the matter is serious and have no choice but to report it to you."

"Naruto trained in the Rasengan not in reality, but in that strange dream. And the person who taught him was none other than the Fourth Hokage."

Next, Kakashi explained to the Hokage in detail all the things that had happened in the past few days regarding "entering dreams," including that the person who entered his dream last night was not Naruto, but Sasuke, and that Naruto had become an observer, and so on.

Hiruzen Sarutobi listened quietly, his expression growing increasingly shocked.

……

the other side.

After Kakashi left, Naruto returned home alone, feeling dejected.

As soon as you push open the door, you are greeted by a strange smell.

Several empty instant noodle wrappers lay on the dining table, empty milk cartons were piled haphazardly in the corner, and the bed was in a mess, with the blankets crumpled up and thrown aside.

“Uh…” Naruto couldn’t help but wrinkle his nose.

He then realized that he hadn't cleaned his room in a long time.

At the same time, the warm and tidy home from my dream the night before involuntarily came to mind.

The floor was spotless, the items were arranged in an orderly manner, and the sheets and blankets in the bedroom were clean and tidy...

Thinking about all this, and looking at his messy living quarters, Naruto couldn't help but purse his lips, feeling a strong sense of disappointment.

"Sigh, if only it could be like in my dreams..." Naruto shook his head and chuckled self-deprecatingly.

But the smile vanished in an instant, and he realized that instead of just daydreaming, he should take action to make a difference.

"Let's start by tidying up the room!"

Naruto slapped his cheeks hard, trying to encourage himself.

Just do it.

Naruto rolled up his sleeves and began tidying up the room.

He first picked up all the scattered household garbage on the ground and threw it into the trash can. Then he poured out the leftover soup from the instant noodles and washed the bowls and chopsticks clean.

Next, he took a rag and wiped the dusty tabletop and windowsill, then carefully mopped the floor.

In the small room, the boy was constantly busy.

"Phew—it's finally clean!"

After an unknown amount of time, when Naruto put down his broom, the room had been completely transformed.

All the trash was cleaned up, the stains and spots were wiped clean, and the sour smell that permeated the air also dissipated.

Although it can't compare to the warm and cozy home I had in my dreams when my parents were both there, at least this little house looks much cleaner and more pleasing to the eye now.

Naruto wiped the sweat from his forehead, then suddenly had a brilliant idea and began to move the furniture around.

He laboriously pushed the small single bed to the window and moved the bedside lamp to the low cabinet on the right side of the bed.

Then he stepped back a few paces and squinted to examine the layout of the entire bedroom.

Yes, with this adjustment, the room layout is now somewhat similar to the bedroom in the house I dreamed of.

After finishing all that, Naruto lay down on the bed with satisfaction, his hands behind his head. Looking at the slightly worn ceiling above him, he couldn't help but smile: "Hehe, I must say, it really does feel much more comfortable when it's tidy up like this."

Naruto thought to himself, "If my mom in my dream saw how clean I've made my room, she'd definitely smile with satisfaction."

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but curl the corners of his mouth into a smile.

If only Mom were here with me...

Chapter 40 How to Wash Away the Shame of a Clan

Just as Naruto was feeling a little smug, he suddenly heard a loud knocking sound coming from the living room, which was particularly clear in the quiet little house.

"Who's coming for me?" Naruto was startled, then jumped out of bed. "They're here—"

He quickly ran to open the door.

I opened the door, and there stood an old man with a face full of wrinkles.

The old man, with a pipe dangling from his mouth, was looking at him with a smile.

"Ah, it's Grandpa Hokage!" Naruto exclaimed, his eyes widening in surprise.

The newcomer was none other than the Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi.

After listening to Kakashi's report, he thought it over and over again and still felt it was necessary to come and visit Naruto in person.

And since Naruto's living allowance was being distributed soon, it was a convenient opportunity.

"Haha, what's wrong? Aren't you happy to see this old codger?" Hiruzen Sarutobi walked into the house with a smile.

As soon as he stepped inside, he paused slightly, "Huh, Naruto, you've tidied up this room?"

Naruto scratched the back of his head and chuckled somewhat sheepishly, "Yeah, it was too messy. I spent some time cleaning it up just now."

Hiruzen Sarutobi looked around and saw that the room was clean and the furniture was neatly arranged, a stark contrast to the messy little house he remembered. He nodded approvingly and said, "Not bad, not bad. You've grown up. You know how to tidy up the room on your own now."

Hearing the praise, Naruto felt a surge of pride and a happy smile spread across his face.

Hiruzen Sarutobi turned around, took out a bulging envelope from his pocket, and handed it over: "This is your living expenses for this month from the village. It's all here, take it."

"Oh!" Naruto quickly accepted it with both hands. "Thank you, Grandpa Hokage!"

He chuckled as he clutched the envelope in his hand.

At that moment, Naruto suddenly remembered what his mother had told him in his dream: when you receive kindness from others, you should sincerely express your gratitude.

As Hiruzen Sarutobi saw Naruto take the money, he was about to say something when he suddenly saw Naruto bow deeply to him solemnly: "Grandpa Hokage, thank you for taking care of me all this time!"

With this bow, Naruto lowered his head, his expression incredibly sincere, a far cry from his usual carefree and irresponsible self.

Hiruzen Sarutobi stood there, stunned, staring blankly at the blond boy in front of him.

Naruto in the past would never have been so polite and courteous!

"Cough." Hiruzen Sarutobi came to his senses, a relieved smile appearing on his face.

He gently helped Naruto up: "Good boy. You're welcome, it's what I should do."

"No, thank you anyway!" Naruto straightened up, nodded vigorously, and insisted.

He was genuinely grateful for the help and care the old man had given him during his childhood.

"Hehe, okay, okay." Sarutobi felt a warmth in his heart from his words and stroked his beard with a smile. "By the way, Naruto, Grandpa has something to ask you... Who taught you to say those things just now?"

Naruto was taken aback for a moment, then scratched his head and laughed, "Hehe, my mom taught me that! She said that when you receive a gift or help from someone, you must thank them properly and not just accept it without saying anything. It's basic politeness."

"Mom?" Hiruzen Sarutobi was taken aback, his face showing even more confusion. "You mean... who taught you?"

“It’s my mom,” Naruto answered matter-of-factly. “My mom in my dream taught me. She has beautiful red hair, a lovely voice, and cooks incredibly delicious food! Although she can be a little fierce at times, she’s usually very kind to me.”

Hiruzen Sarutobi listened in a daze, speechless for a long time.

He knew perfectly well who Naruto was referring to as his "red-haired mother"—it was none other than Kushina Uzumaki!

In an instant, Hiruzen Sarutobi felt a surge of turmoil in his heart.

Kakashi was right!

Naruto did indeed see Kushina and Minato in his dream.

Although Kakashi's previous report was already very detailed, hearing Naruto say these words in person was far more shocking than any written description.

After all, Kushina has been dead for more than ten years, and Naruto has never met her, so it's impossible for him to imagine what she looked like and what her personality was like out of thin air.

In his dream, Naruto encounters his mother and learns etiquette he's never been exposed to before...

All of this proves that what Kakashi said about the unbelievable thing really happened!
