Naruto Dream Fulfillment Master!

Chapter 39: Is there such a forbidden technique?

Upon hearing this, Hiruzen Sarutobi's smile gradually faded, replaced by a look of seriousness.

He nodded slowly: "Well, we've made some progress."

As he spoke, he put down the crystal ball in his hand, straightened up, and said, "These past few days, in order to investigate the strange matter you mentioned, I searched through all sorts of ancient scrolls and books in the village, and finally found a similar record..."

Kakashi listened intently, holding his breath.

Hiruzen Sarutobi said in a deep voice, "Ancient texts record a legendary secret technique that allows the caster to invade another person's dreams, achieving the terrifying effects of controlling their mind, stealing information, and even taking their life. However..."

As he said this, his brows furrowed deeply. "According to the descriptions in the ancient texts, that secret technique requires a large amount of the target's chakra as a price. Each time the target enters a dream state, a portion of the target's life force is drained away."

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 small puff, and slowly exhaled the smoke, his cloudy yet deep eyes fixed on Kakashi.

"Even though it's 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.

"Hokage-sama..." 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 sooner, Hiruzen Sarutobi will likely become even more suspicious.

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

"Oh?" Hiruzen Sarutobi's eyes flashed. "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's 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 related to "entering dreams," including that the person who entered the dream last night was not Naruto, but Sasuke, and that Naruto had become an observer, etc.

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—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...
