Chapter 96 Parents Sequel, Children Prequel, Friends Sequel (4k)

Since Naruto did not hide his strength.

So Sarutobi Hiruzen also took his performance into consideration.

Unheard-of physical skills, strange training methods, and super wind-attribute chakra changes...

If it were a few years ago, Sarutobi Hiruzen would have had some doubts.

But now...

"Alas, I'm getting old, and Naruto has grown up unknowingly."

I don't know if it's because too many things have happened in the past few years, and he feels overwhelmed because of his age.

Sarutobi Hiruzen didn't care too much about Naruto's abnormality, but just smiled bitterly and shook his head.

Now is the era of young people.

If Naruto, who has the will of fire in his heart, can grow up smoothly, then it may not be impossible to train him to become his right-hand man.

"However, we need to see Naruto's performance again."

Thinking of this, Sarutobi Hiruzen picked up the Hokage hat beside him, stood up and walked towards Naruto's home.

…………

At the same time, Naruto, who returned home, took off his wet clothes and took a shower.

Then he changed into clean clothes and went into the kitchen to prepare dinner.

But just when Naruto was preparing dinner.

"Coo, coo, coo!"

A white pigeon with a snow-white body and soft feathers suddenly landed on the window sill and stared at Naruto quietly.

Compared with ordinary white pigeons, this white pigeon looked taller, but also thinner.

Naruto was not surprised by the arrival of the white pigeon. He stretched out his hand and gently stroked the head of the white pigeon.

"Coo, coo, coo~"

The white pigeon also rubbed his palm, with a little more human enjoyment on its face.

Then Naruto took out some feed from his pocket and fed it to the white pigeon.

The white pigeon pecked the feed into its mouth, and flew back to the cage in the living room with satisfaction.

Naruto hummed softly while cooking, but he had more thoughts in his mind.

"Can't you bear it anymore?"

Knock, knock!

After a while, there was a knock on the door.

Naruto rubbed his face and opened the door with a puzzled expression.

He saw Sarutobi Hiruzen standing outside the door, looking at him kindly.

The doubts in Naruto's eyes disappeared, and the expression on his face quickly changed to surprise and joy.

But he seemed to realize that his reaction was too great, and he suppressed his joy, and his expression turned into disgust.

"Grandpa Sandai, you come to eat again?"

"Don't you want to see me, a nagging old man?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen lowered his head pretending to be disappointed, and said in a melancholy tone: "Then I'd better go."

At the same time, he turned around and counted down three numbers in his heart.

3...2...

"Hey hey hey!"

Naruto hurriedly stepped forward and pulled his sleeve: "Grandpa Sandai is here, just help me try the new dishes."

Then, regardless of his reaction, he turned around and excitedly pulled him to sit at the table.

While Sarutobi Hiruzen took a puff of cigarette, he laughed secretly in his heart.

"Although he looks mature, he is essentially a child who misses his elders but is not frank enough."

As the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, Naruto showed extraordinary ninja talent. Whether as an elder or as a Hokage, he was of course happy to see it happen.

But if Naruto wants to stand by his side, he must have the will of fire.

Just when Sarutobi Hiruzen stood up and wanted to go to the kitchen to see what was going on.

"Coo coo coo."

The voice of a white pigeon beside him caught his attention.

"Huh? When did Naruto raise a pigeon?"

With a puzzled look on his face, Sarutobi Hiruzen stretched out his hand and tried to touch the pigeon's head.

But the pigeon "cooed" a few times and took the initiative to rub his palm.

Sarutobi Hiruzen was also stunned when he saw this.

After coming back to his senses, he touched the soft feathers, and a smile from the heart appeared on his face, and his mood relaxed involuntarily.

At this time, Naruto also walked out of the kitchen with a plate and took off his apron.

"Does Grandpa Sandai like this pigeon very much?"

Looking at Sarutobi Hiruzen who was teasing the pigeon, Naruto narrowed his eyes and asked with a smile.

"This pigeon is very well-behaved."

Sarutobi Hiruzen sighed: "For a pigeon of this size, did you feed it with ninja beast feed, Naruto?"

Ninja beasts are fighting props of ninjas.

It can be widely used in various situations, including direct combat, information transmission, exploration, and auxiliary ninja combat.

Normal pigeons cannot grow to this size.

Only by feeding it with special ninja beast feed can it grow so big.

"Yes, I accidentally saw this pigeon during the previous training."

Naruto served two bowls of rice and explained: "At that time, its wings were injured, so I bandaged it, but I didn't expect it to stay with me."

"Then I simply tried to train it to become my reconnaissance ninja beast according to the "Ninja Beast Training Method" given to me by Grandpa Sandai."

Sarutobi Hiruzen also smiled when he heard this, and felt Naruto's kindness again in his heart.

Many ninjas like to use flying birds as their scout beasts, but most ninjas are more accustomed to using birds like crows that are more concealed.

Compared with crows, white pigeons are a bit too conspicuous.

"Naruto, if I remember correctly, you haven't learned the summoning technique yet, right?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen pondered for a moment and said, "Do you want to try to learn the summoning technique?"

The summoning technique is a space-time ninjutsu that the practitioner and the summoned beast sign a blood contract relationship.

Ninjas who train ninja beasts usually sign a blood contract with them. When they need the assistance of ninja beasts, they use the summoning technique to summon the summoned beasts far away to their side.

However, Naruto did not agree immediately. Instead, he complained, "Grandpa Sandai is really annoying. I am already tired enough from training. Every time you come, you have to talk about ninjutsu."

After that, he picked up the bowl and started eating, and said, "Eat quickly, I am starving."

Sarutobi Hiruzen smiled bitterly and sat back in his seat.

But he did not notice that when he turned around and turned his back to the white pigeon.

The right eye of the white pigeon turned scarlet, and the shape of the shuriken appeared faintly.

Sarutobi Hiruzen, who was sitting at the table, looked at the hot food on the table and watched Naruto constantly put food into his bowl.

He couldn't help but feel touched and warm in his heart, and this emotion was magnified in an instant.

Perhaps in the eyes of outsiders, he should be very glorious as a Hokage.

But who knows the pain in his heart.

Not only does he have to deal with a lot of political affairs every day, but he also has to fight wits and courage with those guys.

After get off work, he has to go back to that empty home.

His wife was killed by a masked man during the Nine-Tails Rebellion, and his youngest son ran away from home because of his disagreement with his own ideas.

And the remaining eldest son Sarutobi Shinnosuke, as the head of Konoha Anbu, is busy with some long-term tasks every day.

Every time he lies on that cold bed, Sarutobi Hiruzen will feel a strong sense of emptiness in his heart.

And now looking at the well-behaved and sensible Naruto, he suddenly has a strong impulse.

"Treat Naruto as your own child and train him with all your strength. When he grows up, let him inherit the position of Hokage."

This idea naturally came out of his mind, and then he naturally recognized and accepted it.

Although he was still a little hesitant, this idea stayed in his mind.

Whether from the will of fire, talent, or character, Naruto is enough to sit in the position of Hokage.

"Maybe, I am really old and tired, I can try to train Naruto?"

Thinking of this, Sarutobi Hiruzen hesitated for a moment, and finally put Naruto in the position of Hokage candidate in his mind.

That is, the same status as his eldest son Sarutobi Shinnosuke.

"Third generation grandfather, why don't you eat? The food will be cold later!"

Naruto's words interrupted Sarutobi Hiruzen's thoughts.

Looking at the full bowl of food, Sarutobi Hiruzen smiled from the bottom of his heart.

Then he began to eat like Naruto.

"Little Naruto, eat more vegetables to grow taller!"

"Grandpa Sandai, you are so nagging!"

After a while, the two of them ate all the food on the table.

Lying on the chair and touching his bulging belly, Sarutobi Hiruzen took out two scrolls from his arms and handed them to Naruto.

"You have already learned the Shadow Clone Technique and C-level Wind Style·Great Breakthrough. This time I will teach you B-level Wind Style·Vacuum Wave and Wind Style·Suppression."

"If you don't understand anything, you can come to the Hokage's office to ask me for advice."

Although Sarutobi Hiruzen has five attributes of chakra, he is better at earth style and fire style, and wind style is not his best.

It's a pity that Naruto's chakra attribute is only wind attribute. In addition to non-attribute ninjutsu such as Shadow Clone Technique, he can only practice wind attribute ninjutsu.

If you want to learn ninjutsu of other attributes, you need to cultivate chakra attributes that you don't have innately.

"Thank you, Grandpa Sandai!"

Naruto's face lit up, and after taking the scroll and thanking him, he couldn't wait to read it.

Wind Style: Pressure, spit out a high-pressure wind ball from the mouth, which can form a large-scale air explosion and sweep the surrounding objects with ultra-high wind pressure. It is a conventional wind style ninjutsu that uses only the characteristics of various types of "wind" formed by wind attribute chakra without adding other effects.

Wind Style: Vacuum Wave, spit out a sharp breath similar to that of a sickle weasel from the mouth, and cut off the target's flesh and the chakra that protects the body. It is an unconventional wind style ninjutsu, which uses wind style to directly attack chakra, and has its unique advantages, but it is not as good as conventional wind style ninjutsu of the same scale in terms of wind power.

These two ninjutsu can be said to have their own advantages and disadvantages.

Although Naruto has gradually mastered the changes in the nature of wind attribute chakra, he still needs to learn from some principles of ninjutsu activation to help him open up the idea of ​​creating new ninjutsu.

Sarutobi Hiruzen smiled at Naruto who was concentrating, and did not disturb him, but got up and left quietly.

Before leaving, he did not forget to touch the head of the white pigeon.

Click!

Hearing the sound of the door closing, the smile on Naruto's face gradually disappeared.

"Coo coo coo~"

After feeding the white pigeon some feed again, he turned back to his bedroom, lay on the bed and closed his eyes.

Hualala~

The familiar sound of waves came into his ears, and in addition to the Nine-Tails, there was a figure that he had not seen for a long time in front of Naruto.

"Brother Menma!"

Seeing Naruto throwing himself into his arms, Menma smiled and touched his head.

At the same time, he asked: "Is the pigeon I gave you useful?"

While speaking, Menma looked at Naruto's palm again.

The Mangekyō Sharingan that was originally transplanted there is now gone.

"It's very obedient and easy to use. I can feel that the Third Hokage's attitude towards me has changed."

Naruto nodded, very satisfied and happy with the gift that Enma had given him.

Although I don’t mind having multiple eyes on my palm, it still feels a bit weird and inconvenient to use.

Now that the eye is transplanted to the Ninja Beast, it will increase his operating space.

"Yeah?"

Menma nodded without any surprise: "Since that white pigeon can bear the consumption of the kaleidoscope, my fusion fluid was not wasted."

The purpose of the Mangekyo Sharingan is to assist Naruto in awakening the immortal body in his body.

Now that it has begun to awaken, it will be easier for others to find it if it remains on the body.

After some consideration, Menma simply learned from a certain senior and placed the kaleidoscope directly on the ninja beast.

As for why I chose the white dove instead of the crow...

"The white dove is not only beautiful, but also symbolizes peace, while the crow is not only ugly, but also symbolizes darkness."

As a person who yearns for peace, of course you should choose a white dove that looks more friendly and kind.

"What is the subconscious mind you implanted in Sarutobi Hiruzen?"

"Treat me as his child with all your strength, and let me inherit the position of Hokage when I grow up."

Naruto frowned and said in confusion: "His attitude towards me has indeed changed from being hypocritical like a tool to being sincere like a relative."

"But it seems that he has not made up his mind to let me take the position of Hokage."

Menma smiled without any surprise and explained: "It's normal. The kaleidoscope I gave you cannot directly modify the target's consciousness, but more at the subconscious level."

This approach has advantages and disadvantages.

The disadvantage is that it works slowly and cannot directly control the target.

The advantage is that it is more obscure, not easy to be discovered, and cannot be interrupted. It is irreversible after the implantation is completed.

"Brother Menma, are you coming back this time to teach me something?"

Seeing Naruto's expectant expression with a little uneasiness hidden in it, Menma laughed and tapped his forehead.

This kid has already figured it out and is still pretending to be stupid.

"You have to figure out the script of your life. It is not a sequel to your parents, not a prequel to your children, and not a sequel to your friends."

Menma touched Naruto's head and said in a gentle tone: "Sooner or later, the young eagle will leave the warm embrace of its parents, but I hope you don't forget that the higher we fly, the worse our image will be in the eyes of those who cannot fly. It’s insignificance.”

Although he had expected it, seeing Brother Menma's attitude of asking for the aftermath, Naruto still felt a sense of reluctance in his heart and lowered his head in a low mood.

"Why are you so frustrated?"

Menma sighed secretly when he saw this, and rubbed Naruto's hair vigorously: "It's not like we can't contact him anymore. I prepared a gift and put it in your cabinet. You can go and see it later."

After hearing that the two people had not completely broken off contact, Naruto's disappointed mood dissipated a little.

"Come on, I won't urge you to study this time."

Seeing that Naruto had regained some energy, Menma turned his head and waved to the side.

Two very "modern" computers appeared directly in front of them.

"What are you doing standing there in a daze? I'll have fun with you this time!"

Menma's voice interrupted Naruto's complicated thoughts.

Looking at Brother Menma who was sitting in front of the computer and greeting him, Naruto smiled in relief.

Even if he can control his behavior, he cannot restrain his emotions because emotions are fickle.

But if you want to reach high places, you have to use your own two legs.

Instead of letting others lift you up high, don't sit on other people's backs and heads.

"Menma-nii, I will stand by your side."
