Naruto’s shadow clone training method had one significant issue: once his chakra was exhausted, the Nine-Tails’ chakra would emerge, attempting to break the seal. This necessitated Yamato’s constant use of Wood Release to suppress the Nine-Tails’ chakra. Naruto trained as long as Yamato suppressed, without a moment’s rest.
However, when Hawking arrived, things changed. The Nine-Tails’ chakra transferred to Hawking, eliminating Yamato’s need to suppress it. Consequently, Yamato was always delighted to see Hawking.
“Hawking, you can roam around. I need to continue my training,” Naruto said, summoning Hawking before returning to his shadow clones. He was determined to improve his strength, hoping to rescue Sasuke before Orochimaru took over his body.
“Don’t worry about me. I’ll explore the village,” Hawking replied, using his flight ability to head toward Konoha Village.
As Hawking flew away, Yamato collapsed on the ground, exhausted. “One hour is too short. If it were longer, I’d have some relief.”
“Longer wouldn’t be good,” Kakashi murmured. He was aware of Hawking’s situation. The Konoha higher-ups barely accepted the Nine-Tails’ daily disappearance for an hour. If it extended to seven or eight hours, they would panic. With the Akatsuki organization collecting Tailed Beasts, the importance of the Nine-Tails couldn’t be overstated.
“If it were longer, Danzo and the advisors might take drastic measures to study Hawking’s body,” Kakashi continued.
“True. Hawking is a good guy. This arrangement is fine,” Yamato agreed. Coming from Root, he understood the village’s darker side and Danzo’s nature. Over time, he developed a good impression of Hawking and didn’t want anything to happen to him.
Meanwhile, Hawking flew at high speed and soon arrived at Konoha Village’s entrance. After greeting the gatekeepers, Izumo Kamizuki and Kotetsu Hagane, he entered the village.
He wandered through the village as usual. Most jutsu in this world no longer interested him. Wind Release, Water Release, and Fire Release techniques weren’t as powerful as his Ki Blasts and Kamehameha, even with elemental transformations.
His goal was to acquire unique jutsu, such as Flying Thunder God for teleportation, sealing techniques for various objects, and Edo Tensei for resurrection. However, these high-level techniques weren’t accessible to just anyone.
Another goal was the Eight Gates, a technique that used chakra to unlock body limits, significantly enhancing physical strength and chakra. This would be very useful for him.
He might aim to obtain Nagato’s Rinnegan if the opportunity arose later. The Rinnegan’s Six Paths were quite powerful, and one of its abilities could read soul memories, which would be useful for dealing with Voldemort’s soul fragments.
If his power surpassed Kaguya Otsutsuki, he might even blow up the moon with a Kamehameha, releasing Kaguya and taking her Rinne Sharingan.
“How can I reasonably obtain jutsu from Tsunade?” he pondered. The Mangekyo Sharingan, Rinnegan, and Rinne Sharingan weren’t immediate concerns. His current focus was on Konoha’s existing jutsu.
Not that he couldn’t defeat their owners, but an hour wasn’t enough to locate and take these eyes. He’d have to wait for Naruto to encounter them and summon him for a chance to seize them.
Fortunately, the wait wouldn’t be long. Judging by the current timeline, the final battle should be within half a year.
“According to the timeline, the Fire Temple should soon have problems,” he recalled. After Naruto sought Asuma’s advice on Wind Release, the Immortal Duo attacked the Fire Temple.
Asuma led a team to capture them, only to be killed by Hidan, leaving behind Kurenai and their unborn child. Naruto could already split a waterfall with Wind Release and was trying to integrate it into the Rasengan to create the Wind Release: Rasenshuriken. Asuma’s death should occur within a few days.
As the son of the Third Hokage and leader of the Sarutobi Clan, Asuma’s death could secure valuable jutsu.
“It’s time to pull the net,” he thought, having planted seeds during their first meeting.
While walking through Konoha, he soon found Asuma and Kurenai sweetly shopping together.
“Good afternoon, Asuma, Kurenai,” he greeted them.
“Good afternoon, Hawking,” they replied with smiles. Hawking said to be a summoner from Mount Myoboku with a contract with Naruto, could be summoned for an hour each day. Many shinobi recognized him from his frequent visits.
Asuma and Kurenai met Hawking through Naruto and received a beautiful crib from him on their first meeting, feeling a bit embarrassed. Despite the awkwardness, they had a good impression of him.
“Hawking, I see black clouds on your forehead. You must have a looming death threat. If not dealt with, you might not see your unborn child,” Hawking said, observing Kurenai.
“What? Kurenai, you’re pregnant?” Asuma exclaimed, almost jumping in shock.
“Yes, I confirmed it a few days ago and was planning to tell you,” Kurenai replied shyly.
Asuma, overjoyed, lifted Kurenai and spun her around. His joy was cut short by Hawking’s next words, freezing him in place:
“Asuma, I see black clouds on your forehead. You have a looming death threat. If not dealt with, you might not live to see your unborn child.”
