Chapter 2 External Plug-in Arrives
Just as Suzuki was pondering, Hanako's voice rang out:
"Suzuki-chan? Come home! Hanako's all packed, don't just stand there."
As Hanako spoke, she waved her hands in front of him.
"Hmm?...Okay."
Suzuki snapped out of his daze, took a bag from under the table, and packed some items he needed to take home into it.
Hanako's house and his house were not far apart, and they walked on the same road, so they were not only classmates, but also practically neighbors.
On that street, Suzuki and Hanako were the only two they got along well, so they often went to and from school together.
The two packed their things, left the classroom, and slowly walked towards the school gate.
At this moment, on the playground not far from the school gate, a red-haired girl was fighting with six senior students. However, the six students seemed to be no match for her at all. She was dominating them and even made their noses bleed. Yes, this was the violent girl who made many students of Konoha Ninja Academy afraid - the Red Hot Chili Pepper, Uzumaki Kushina!
Someone is probably making fun of her again.
Many students were watching the spectacle, and some even clapped and cheered from time to time.
So Suzuki and Hanako stopped at the entrance and watched the commotion for a while.
Before long, Kushina had chased away the six students, and with her head held high and a smug look on her face, she proudly looked to her right.
Upon seeing this, Suzuki looked over and, sure enough, spotted Minato Namikaze with his golden hair not far away!
He was sitting on a big tree, watching Kushina fight against a group of enemies.
He jumped down from the tree only after the battle was over, and walked gently toward Kushina. The two then exchanged a few words, and Kushina punched Minato Namikaze. The two then walked toward the school gate.
Before that, Suzuki had witnessed Kushina Uzumaki fighting, and Minato Namikaze tried to stop her, but ended up getting beaten up along with the others.
The different events and the rapid development of their relationship made Suzuki realize that Kushina's kidnapping had probably already happened, and it must have happened recently.
"Wow, that's fast. At this rate, the Second Shinobi World War must be coming to an end soon, right?"
"After all, they've resorted to such underhanded tactics, so the four great ninja villages have no strength left to spare."
"The original work doesn't specify the exact month and day, only that World War II ended in Konoha calendar year 37."
"So it seems it will probably be early 37th year. The war will be over in about six months. Is it already nearing its end?"
Suzuki thought to himself after seeing Minato Namikaze and Kushina Uzumaki together.
Watching the two bickering and joking as they walked towards her, Hanako was excited, looking at them with a face full of admiration:
"Suzuki, did you see that? That's Kushina-senpai! She's amazing! She chased away six upperclassmen! Red Hot Chili Pepper! So cool!"
The same excitement wasn't limited to Hanako.
Almost all the girls around them either idolize Red Pepper or have a crush on Minato Namikaze, so it's even more incredible that these two are suddenly together.
Suzuki seemed to hear the sound of many girls' hearts breaking, and many envious eyes looking at Minato Namikaze and Kushina.
"Alright, Hanako, we should go."
Suzuki said calmly.
"Huh? Okay, okay, hmm, Kushina-senpai is so cool, hehe."
Hanako seemed to still be immersed in what had just happened.
On the other side, Minato Namikaze and Kushina had already reached the school gate, and many students who had been crowding around the gate to watch the commotion made way for them.
Seeing this, Hanako forgot all her excitement and admiration and prepared to pull Suzuki aside to make way.
However, Minato Namikaze suddenly looked over, as if he had remembered something:
"You are... Suzuki... Suzuki-kun?"
"Ah, yes, hello, Minato-senpai!"
Suzuki was surprised that Minato Namikaze still remembered him.
It's worth noting that although they had met quite a few times at the Ninja Academy, the last time they greeted each other was three years ago.
With so many students at the school, and they've only greeted each other once, how can they remember that?
As expected, he truly deserves to be the future Fourth Hokage.
Minato Namikaze smiled gently:
Are you going home?
"Yeah, Minato-senpai and Kushina-senpai are graduating soon, right? Good luck!"
Suzuki replied seriously.
"Haha, okay, thank you!"
Seeing Kushina occasionally nudging him, Minato knew she was probably in a hurry to get back, so he said apologetically:
"Kushina and I are going back too. You all should study hard and do your best!"
"come on!"
Kushina, who was holding Minato Namikaze's hand and walking towards the school gate, suddenly turned around and said something before walking away.
Suzuki waved goodbye politely.
Until Hanako exclaimed:
"Huh? Huh??? Suzuki-chan! So you know Minato-senpai?"
Suzuki turned around, his face calm:
"No, we only greeted each other once. I didn't expect Minato-senpai to remember me."
"Okay, they're all graduating soon, and we'll be graduating in two years. Hehe, I hope we can graduate as easily as they do!"
Hanako smiled as she spoke of the future.
Then she suddenly opened her bag and found a few bills.
"Ah, I still have over three hundred ryo left in my allowance this month. Come on, Suzuki, it's my treat, let's go eat dango!"
Hanako looked at Suzuki expectantly.
"Are you treating? That's great! But these dumplings aren't enough. I have a few hundred taels left. Let's order more dumplings, and then we can buy some drinks. What would you like to drink, Hanako?"
Suzuki asked.
Hanako seemed suddenly very happy; her petite body even skipped and hopped as she walked.
"This taro and boba milk tea smells amazing and tastes incredible! I want this one!"
"Okay, but you remember such a long name so clearly? That's really something, Hanako!"
Suzuki smiled helplessly at Hanako in front of him.
. . .
Because she got home early this time and ate meatballs on the way, Hanako, who was planning to have dinner at home, could only eat half of it before she couldn't finish. As a result, Hanako was scolded by her parents.
Of course, Suzuki was unaware of this; he was currently tidying up the room.
This room isn't very big, only slightly larger than the one Naruto lived in in the original story.
However, it's just right for three people to live in, and it's not too tiring to clean up for one person.
The family's inheritance was not much; most of it consisted of shops, and they also left some money, about 300,000 taels.
As for the shop, Suzuki, who was only five years old, was not capable of managing it, nor did he have any intention of doing business, so he rented it out for 50,000 taels of silver per year.
After successfully entering the Konoha Ninja Academy, he also wondered if he should buy some things that ninjas need.
Unfortunately, what you can buy on the market is basically what's taught in ninja academies. If something is truly "rare," just ask the teacher. As for ninjutsu, it doesn't exist.
Therefore, after learning chakra refinement, in order to increase chakra levels,
He could only use money to buy some supplements that might be useful, and then practice the Three Body Techniques taught at the Ninja Academy day after day, practicing the subtle control of chakra.
To this day, he still has more than 200,000 taels of silver left in his wallet.
After finishing today's chakra training, it was almost midnight. After taking a shower,
Suzuki lay in bed contemplating the future:
"Who will I be teammates with after graduation? Hanako? And who is the other one?"
"I wonder which Jonin will lead the class; maybe it'll just be a Chunin as the captain?"
"Maybe... um???"
For some inexplicable reason, his senses became incredibly peculiar.
Suzuki inexplicably felt that reality suddenly felt unreal, and the world became extremely small. At the edges, it was as if a membrane was shrouding everything, while his vision rose to infinity.
At this moment, he is, in some ways, far greater than the world.
The sudden change did not panic him. Perhaps it was the perseverance he had cultivated over the years that had tempered his character, or perhaps it was the cruel reality of the ninja world that had changed his personality.
Suzuki simply watched all of this calmly, until he himself seemed to grow taller and larger.
At one point, he realized that he had even touched that barrier that seemed to isolate him from the world.
This is unreal, non-material, and even non-soulful. If the Naruto world has so-called higher dimensions, such as time or something like that...
Then he has absolutely nothing to do with that, because he is much taller than that!
This is a three-dimensional object that feels like it's squeezed into a two-dimensional space.
However, he did not directly become a god, including being omniscient and omnipotent; he couldn't do that.
He simply realized that the dimension of this world was very low for him, but he was powerless to do anything about this low dimension.
He gently touched the barrier of that world with his finger, and the barrier cracked open.
There seemed to be nothing outside the crack, yet there also seemed to be many things, sometimes there and sometimes they were not.
"This is... a belated cheat code? A transmigrator's special ability?"
"What's going on here? A quantum state? Schrödinger's theory? Is it due to insufficient perception and cognition?"
"What's outside? Chaos? Nothingness? The multiverse?"
"Will I die if I just go out? Will I go back to my original world? Or will I continue to travel to some unknown world? It's all too unknown!" Suzuki frowned and guessed.
However, this peculiar state seemed unlikely to last, and just as he was about to return to the Naruto world, Suzuki made a choice—
He stretched out an arm toward the world beyond!
