It was effortless.

  It was as simple as going back to one's own home to fetething. The distinctive building, the easily identifiable sealing scroll—Naruto hadn't spent much time before he found it in the Hokage's study. There was no need for any precautions or barriers. The sealing scroll, one of Konoha's highest secrets, was boldly pced in the most spicuous location in the room. This erhaps the most dired straightforward intrusion into a Kage's resideo steal the highest cssified secrets in the history of the vilge.

  However, on the surfaaruto still maintained an appearance of cautiousness. He acted as if he was following the instrus of his academy teacher, treating this as if it were just another covert mission. Ihe ninja academy, apart from the necessary lessons and bat training among cssmates, there were frequent simutions of real ninja missions such as infiltration and theft. These were part of the basic skills taught in the ninja academy.

  After log the sealing scroll, Naruto meticulously ied it, then secured it behind his back. Following the predetermined route, he quietly exited the Hokage's residend hurried to the location he had arranged with Mizuki. The first half of this farce had unfolded acc to the scripted storyline, and now it was time for the sed half to begin.

  As Naruto left the Hokage's residence, he tio follow his pn. He cealed his presend swiftly moved along the route towards the agreed-upon location. However, Naruto didn't io go directly to the designated spot this time. Uhe inal story, Naruto pyed a little trid stole the scroll a bit earlier. He also decided to deviate slightly from the pnned path. Of course, he would meet with Mizuki ter; otherwise, this py would never clude. But before that, Naruto inteo make the most of this vacuum period to secure the maximum be for himself.

  Meanwhile, ba the Hokage's office building, with Naruto already carrying the sealing scroll, the Hokage himself was not aware that Naruto had taken it. He hadn't used Crystal Jutsu to monitor Naruto's as as he did in the inal story. Furthermore, he had dispatched Kakashi Hatake to covertly watch over Mizuki. Of course, even if Naruto had known about these precautions, he wouldn't have cared much. After all, this was just a py. The director was ready, preparations were made, and as long as the actors followed the script, everything would be fine.

  Unbeknownst to Naruto, when he left carrying the sealing scroll, the Hokage, still staring at Konoha's night view from his office, took a puff from his pipe and exhaled a sm. His eyes glinted with a peculiar light.

  "Swoosh!"

  Suddenly, a figure appeared behind the Hokage. This person was dressed in standard Anbu attire and was a member of the Anbu directly uhe Hokage's and.

  Kneeling on one khe Anbu lowered their head slightly and spoke with a highly respectful tone, "Hokage-sama, the sealing scroll has been firmed to be taken by Naruto Uzumaki!"

  cise and straightforward, there was ional fluctuation in the Anbu's voice. This was a member of the Anbu directly uhe Hokage's and.

  "Hmm, I see," replied the Hokage.

  The Third Hokage still had his back turo the Anbu, his gaze fixed on Konoha's night view outside the window. He took a deep breath and exhaled a sm, his voice calm.

  Then, he waved his haly. "Uood."

  The Anbu behind him responded with a single word, "Yes."

  In the moment, with the Hokage's signal, the Anbu's figure disappeared into the night as if it had melded with the darkness.

  "After all, the sealing scroll... Fourth, this be sidered pensation for Naruto. Let's see how much he learn," the Third Hokage muttered, his gaze still on the vilge's night sery.

  The Third Hokage narrowed his eyes slightly, and in his mind, the image of the Fourth Hokage, Minato Namikaze, appeared. He sighed softly and whispered to himself.

  This had always beehird Hokage's intended goal.

  It should be said that this decision was made after he had foreseen the absurd pn of Mizuki in advance.

  Based on the six years of observation and training at the Ninja Academy, Naruto's growth undoubtedly met the Third Hokage's expectations. Naruto had always been progressing and growing towards the goal of gaining reition and being a great ninja. So, when the graduation day arrived, the Third Hokage took advantage of Mizuki's pn to give Naruto some small advantages, a way of showing his belief in Naruto. Of course, as the leader of the vilge, the Third Hokage had various means of tera. The sealing scroll was genuine, not a fery, but the Third Hokage made some subtle adjustments to it to create obstacles.

  This was to prevent the worst-case sario from .

  The most crucial teiques and forbidden jutsu were beyond Naruto's reach.

  Moreover, they were still within the fines of Konoha.

  This was why the Third Hokage had no worries at all.

  Most importantly, the Third Hokage had another precautionary measure.

  "Kakashi."

  "Swoosh!"

  As the Third Hokage uttered those words calmly, a figure suddenly appeared before him, kneeling down with a respectful tone.

  "Sandaime-sama!"

  "Just in case, you follow me. You don't have to go looking for Naruto. Just keep an eye on Mizuki. When necessary, you a your own."

  The Third Hokage gazed directly at Kakashi Hatake, his tone calm.

  "Uood, Hokage-sama," Kakashi replied, bowing his head slightly.

  In the moment, following the Third Hokage's signal, Kakashi's figure disappeared with a swoosh.

  After Kakashi had left, the Third Hokage took another look at the night view of Konoha and theuro his desk to tinue handling the remaining affairs.

  With everything arranged by the Third Hokage. Oher side, Naruto, carrying the sealing scroll, had no idea that in this world, the Third Hokage had not used Crystal Jutsu to monitor him, as in the inal story. He was even more unaware that the Third Hokage had chosen to send Kakashi Hatake as a substitute for surveilnce.

  Of course, even if Naruto had known about these precautions, he wouldn't have been too ed. After all, this was just a performahe director was ready, preparations were made, and as long as the actors followed the script, there would be no issues.

  After obtaining the sealing scroll, Naruto quickly left the vilge and arrived at a locatiohe meeting point with Mizuki.

  There was still some time left until the agreed-upon time, so Naruto po make the most of it by learning as many forbidden a teiques as possible. Even if they were retively on high-level ninja teiques, Naruto weled them. He would seize any opportunity to learn, and he had plete fiden his memory, whether in his previous life or this one.

  Although the number of jutsu couldn't represent a ninja's true strength, mastery and application of jutsu could certainly enhance a ninja's abilities to a corresponding degree. Moreover, by examining these teiques, he could gain a deeper uanding of their essehis applied especially to secret and forbidden teiques.

  Naruto was well aware that mastering jutsu wasn't as simple as memorizing hand seals' sequences.

  The most important aspect was uanding the core of the teique.

  This was especially true for secret and forbidden teiques.

  If they were easy to trol, they wouldn't deserve to be called secret or forbidden teiques.
