Naruto Live: The Death of Naruto in the Beginning Movie

["What's going on?" Faced with Naruto's unconventional entrance, even Yoshita, who had been acting like a fool from the beginning, was full of questions.]

[One of the four enemies was also quite puzzled: "Someone not only didn't hide their chakra, but also rushed in shouting. Is he a high-ranking ninja from Konoha?"]

["Look! Even the enemy is complaining!"]

["Hahaha, he just confused the other side!"]

["So that's how it is. This is Naruto's tactic. He wants to infiltrate their high-level and win without a fight."]

["Ah! Right, right! Hahaha, I'm dying of laughter!"]

["Konoha's reputation is ruined!"]

Naruto's forehead veins bulged, and he shouted at the sky: "I'm not stupid! I just had an accident, okay!"

Kushina, watching from the Pure Land, couldn't help but cover her forehead when she saw Naruto's reckless actions: "Naruto, although your father and I told you to be like Obito, you can't be this reckless!"

Thinking about Obito, Kushina stopped and looked around the white surroundings: "Is Obito also in the Pure Land?"

[Of course, there were some more astute enemies among the four, who quickly deduced Naruto's nature—a fool. The leader of the four made a timely jab, completing the pre-battle trash talk segment.]

[Naruto, naturally, didn't want to be ridiculed like this. Just as he was about to retort, Ashio had already used this moment to escape with the miko Shion through a secret passage. Naruto seemed to just remember his mission, blocking the entrance of the passage and declaring, "Not so fast! I won't let you pass through here!"]

["Do you think you can stop us by yourself?" The four enemies didn't take Naruto seriously. They didn't realize that the person in front of them could summon an army of shadow clones at will.]

["Since I, Uzumaki Naruto, have come here, I won't let you have your way!" Naruto shouted aggressively, then quickly formed hand seals. "Multiple Shadow Clones!"]

[The four rushed out of the room, only to be met with hundreds of identical figures.]

["Shit!! This many clones? Are you serious?"]

["I thought this guy was just a dumb Genin, but now it seems like Konoha set this up as a trap! Damn, that's so sneaky!"]

["Those who thought he was dumb are the real fools. This guy is Jiraiya's apprentice. Think about it, it can't be that simple!"]

["Wait, don't you see his last name? Uzumaki! Isn't it normal for him to have that much chakra?"]

["Yeah! Now that you mention it, isn't it a little weird? The Uzumaki clan all had red hair, right?"]

["What's so strange about that? One of his parents has blonde hair."]

["The Uzumaki clan was wiped out a long time ago. What's so strange about a half-Uzumaki? Konoha and the Land of the Whirlpools were allies."]

Naruto was a little surprised. He didn't expect the Uzumaki surname to carry such weight. He glanced at Kakashi, waiting to hear what he had to say.

Kakashi scratched his head. He knew this was a sensitive topic about Naruto's background. He couldn't just reveal it without the Hokage's approval.

He decided to let the Third Hokage handle it. "This is a complicated matter. Let's first watch what happens with the sky screen. Then the Hokage can provide more details, and we'll see what we can learn."

Naruto pouted. "That's so unsatisfying!"

["This is the first time I've seen the shadow clones used in such a way," said one of the four enemies. "They're usually used for intelligence gathering."]

"[Well, he has more chakra than most. This tactic is pretty clever though."]

[The leader of the four enemies had to take Naruto more seriously now. "He's not just any Genin," he muttered.]

[Naruto quickly caught up with the four and surrounded them. "What's wrong? Scared?"]

[The four enemies showed no nervousness. The leader of the four organized the other three and commanded, "Yitai, Setsuna, Shizuku, use the earth, fire, and wind connection technique!"]

["Okay, earth style—Earth Corridor!" Yoshita shouted, slamming his fists into the ground.]

[The earth immediately shattered, and a series of large earthen mounds rose up, surrounding Naruto and his clones, leaving only a circular hole facing the four enemies.]

[Naruto and his clones shouted loudly, trying to find an exit from the cave. Seeing this, the four enemies smiled contemptuously and said, "I'll leave this to you!"]

["Fire Style—Fireball Jutsu!" Shizuku, with orange hair, raised one leg and spun. A ring of fire flew out of the cave with his movements.]

["Wait, don't they usually do hand signs when releasing ninjutsu?"]

["Are they dancing? Their movements are so weird."]

["Whether they make hand signs or not depends on their mastery of the technique. Higher-level ninjas tend to perform fewer hand signs. Some still do them out of habit."]

["Sorry, I'm just a Genin," Naruto muttered.]

["I told you not to act recklessly, but now you've been trapped!" Sakura scolded Naruto when she saw him caught in the sky.]

["Eh! But, but if I hadn't shown up earlier, wouldn't that miko be in danger?" Naruto retorted, trying to defend himself.]

[Neji immediately rebutted, "We were all following the same plan. Since you've already shown yourself, we should've been close by."]

["Ugh... you're such a pain," Naruto mumbled, turning away.]

[Facing the enemy's attack, Naruto nimbly dodged it with a leap and then taunted, "What? This is the first time I've seen such a useless fireball technique."]

[But Naruto was clearly celebrating too soon. Outside the cave, Setsuna formed a powerful hurricane with his hands and launched it at Naruto. "Wind Style—Divine Wind!"]

[The wind fueled the fire, turning the small fireball into a raging inferno that burned through Naruto's clones in a matter of seconds.]

[Nearby, Neji, who had been observing with his Byakugan, muttered, "Naruto really messed up this time." He looked at the temple, noticing the leader of the four enemies had already reached the miko through the secret passage. "The miko is near the waterfall deep in the temple. The enemy is approaching."]

[Neji turned to Sakura and Lee. "I'll handle the enemy here. You two go help Naruto and then head to the waterfall!"]

["Understood." Sakura and Lee both nodded.]
