Naruto: Favorability System

The Third Hokage took a deep breath, closed the script, and said, "Iruka, Naruto already knows that he is Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, and has accepted the identity of the demon fox."

Hearing this, Iruka froze in place, everything seemed to be understandable.

Naruto knew and accepted the identity of Jinchuriki, so he showed a withdrawn and negative attitude.

Except for communicating with a few classmates, he refused to contact other classmates.

Thinking about it in another way, if he knew that he was a demon fox, he would only be in a worse state than Naruto.

After pondering for a while, Iruka said quite seriously, "My lord, even so, I still don't change my view of Naruto. His current state will only harm him and the village."

The Third Hokage took out a cigarette. He always likes to smoke when encountering difficulties.

"I also have a headache about Naruto, but I don't have much time to take care of it. There are too many things in the village that I need to deal with, so... can I trouble you to take care of Naruto?"

Iruka said with some embarrassment, "However, the education of students still requires the participation of parents. It is not enough to rely on me alone... I still need the help of Lord Hokage."

Hearing this, the Third Hokage sighed softly, "I will assist Mr. Iruka in my work, but it seems that you have completely come out of that shadow."

Iruka scratched his head, "Although Naruto is Jinchuriki, it was Nine Tails who killed my parents. I hated him a little when I first met him, but after getting along for a while, I can feel that he has not been assimilated by the Nine Tails."

"I believe that with time, other people in the village will understand Naruto as well as I do."

"After all, it is the job of a good teacher to bring every student who goes astray back on track."

"I hope so."

The Third Hokage didn't expect much from this, he didn't think the villagers could understand Naruto, and he didn't think Naruto could understand the villagers.

But as long as Naruto can listen to his own words and trust him, it will be fine.

Playground

Sasuke escaped from the girls' siege, found Naruto hiding in the corner, and asked directly,

"Naruto, how did you manage to interrupt ninjutsu?"

Naruto glanced at Sasuke, and said disapprovingly, "The seal itself is a waste of time. As long as you attack the meridian before you transform Chakra into ninjutsu, you can naturally interrupt the ninjutsu."

"Moreover, in the battle between ninjas, ninjutsu is more of a test, and in the end, the winner must be determined by physical skills."

After finishing speaking, Naruto looked at Sasuke with playful eyes, "You don't know these common senses, our young genius Uchiha Sasuke."

Sasuke was uncertain, but he still said, "I know I'm not as good as you, but I still want to know, have you mastered other ninjutsu long ago? That's why you know how to interrupt ninjutsu."

Naruto didn't speak, but a whirlwind suddenly appeared on the ground, rolling up fallen leaves and flying towards Sasuke.

Sasuke stared at the fallen leaves that were moving, and clenched his fists tightly.

He understood the gap between himself and Naruto, and the behavior of the other party reminded him of his brother.

When Sasuke was thinking wildly, Naruto came to Sasuke, patted the latter's shoulder and said, "After school today, I can teach you how to practice quickly, but correspondingly, I want to learn your shuriken throwing skills. I always can't get high marks in throwing class, which seriously affects my overall ranking. "

Sasuke recovered his complexion, and said with some pride, "Uchiha's throwing technique is naturally the strongest, but if you teach me how to practice quickly, aren't you afraid that I will surpass you?"

Naruto smiled and shook his head, "Of course I'm not afraid, I will only grow faster than you, and I am willing to teach you because you are a new classmate who took the initiative to ask me to play with you in class. I will not treat my friends badly."

Sasuke snorted coldly, then left Naruto's side.

After Sasuke left, Choji, who was ignored, frowned again and again, but in the end he didn't say anything and continued eating potato chips.

But Shikamaru opened his eyes, looked at Naruto and Sasuke who left, thoughtfully.

As a friend of Naruto, he has clearly felt the changes in Naruto these days, but he doesn't know whether this change is good or bad.

But he will not take the initiative to mention these things, nor will he tell others.

As an outsider, making the choice that best suits one's own interests is the way of survival of the Nara clan.

...

After school, Naruto and Sasuke came to the grove.

This is also their seventh training in the grove.

During friendly interactions, Naruto and Sasuke's actual combat experience has increased rapidly.

Naruto did not break his promise, and taught Sasuke how to use the shadow clone to practice ninjutsu.

But after Sasuke was out of breath, he could only barely cast three shadow clones, and his training efficiency was far inferior to that of Naruto who had Nine Tails as an assistant.

After dispelling the shadow clones, Sasuke almost fainted due to overload.

Looking at Sasuke who was like a dead dog, Naruto couldn't help laughing.

Sasuke slowly got up from the ground and looked at Naruto who was smiling happily.

"Do you do such intensive training every day?"

Naruto nodded, "It's like this every day, without interruption."

Sasuke was a little curious, "Why, is it because of the expectations of your parents? My father has very strict requirements on me, but he doesn't let me practice like this. I have a lot of free time for myself unlike you."

Naruto smiled and said, "I'm sorry, I'm a demon fox. I don't have parents for the time being. When I'm bored, I can only pass the time by practicing. Anyway, when I go outside, there are fearful eyes everywhere, which makes me feel bored."

Sasuke was silent for a while, and said, "Although I have parents, I can understand your feelings. The Uchiha's experience is very similar to yours."

Sasuke understands Naruto's feelings very well, although the classmates in the class are more enthusiastic about him.

However, the Uchiha clan is often excluded in the village.

He can hear complaints from the clan to the village almost every day, and he often sees the complaints from the villagers to the Uchiha.

The clan seems to be completely marginalized.

Naruto glanced at Sasuke, and said in a joking tone, "Then you can also find friends. The village is so big, there is always someone who can understand what happened to Uchiha."

"It doesn't matter even if no one understands it. People just need to be themselves."
