Natsu had just said goodbye to Uzumaki Naruto when his whereabouts were reported to Sarutobi Hiruzen by the ANBU ninja.
As the Nine-Tails Jinchuuriki, he naturally has someone to protect him.
If Naruto Uzumaki knew about it, he might be shaken again.
He watched helplessly as he was being beaten and did not help.
"Natsume is indeed a good kid."
Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at the information in silence, there were two things written on it.
First, Natsume rescued Uzumaki Naruto who was bullied by a naughty child.
Second, he arranged for the owner of Gunma Casino to take care of Uzumaki Naruto.
Opening a store in Konoha requires approval.
"Grandpa Hokage, do you think I can be Hokage?"
Orochimaru is indeed very powerful, but he has a problem with his character and is not suitable for Hokage.
For example, make detoxification pills or military food pills.
Natsume wiped the sweat from his forehead.
He often tells the story of the founding of Konoha and the Will of Fire.
As he gets older, his energy is not as good as before.
If it was "the world has spurned me" before, now it is "the world has forgotten me".
Besides, his performance in school can be regarded as an outstanding successor to the Will of Fire.
Sarutobi Hiruzen stood up and looked at Konoha outside the window.
According to Sarutobi Hiruzen's vision, the fifth Hokage was either Jiraiya or Tsunade.
You can go to the village normally tomorrow!
However, when he rushed out to the street the next day, no one really talked about him anymore, but no one paid him any attention either.
In this case, it is the best arrangement for him.
Because it's good for his plan.
"grandfather!"
As long as he survives these few years, Uzumaki Naruto will no longer be alone.
But he is the Nine-Tailed Jinchuuriki, Konoha's strongest weapon, and he is born with the responsibility to deal with it, so he cannot live so leisurely.
Uzumaki Naruto looked at him expectantly.
But these are necessary sacrifices.
According to Sarutobi Hiruzen's vision, he would become the only support for the Nine-Tailed Jinchuuriki before going to school.
Otherwise, it will be easy for spies to sneak in.
Sarutobi Hiruzen said with a smile.
Uzumaki Naruto immediately showed a bright smile.
Sarutobi Hiruzen wanted Jiraiya to be Hokage, but realistically, Tsunade had a higher chance.
The expression on his face always plays the role of a kind old grandfather.
But is it really worth it?
[Because of your actions, Uzumaki Naruto's fate has changed, and you gained eighteen points of fate.]
Natsume, who was practicing the Wood Release Ninjutsu, dispersed the chakra in his hand.
If Naruto Uzumaki was an ordinary child, he would definitely let him grow up as the son of a hero.
But soon, he became a little disappointed.
Sarutobi Hiruzen immediately raised his chin slightly and said with dignity, "I am indeed the Hokage."
Anyway, she is addicted to gambling, so controlling a casino will not cause much repercussions.
He thought of the three naughty children laughing at him that morning.
He didn't reveal his identity before just because of this moment.
Hiruzen Sarutobi smiled and said, "As long as you have the determination and courage to protect Konoha, I believe you will become Hokage."
Eighteen o'clock, relatively few.
Let's get this thing sorted before going to the battlefield.
Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at him pitifully and felt a little guilty. He thought that this rumor should be stopped, so he said: "Don't worry, starting from tomorrow, no one will say that you are a demon fox again."
"I'm old."
Fortunately, she is back to normal now.
"Why are you so happy today? Did something interesting happen to you? Tell grandpa about it."
Uzumaki Naruto suddenly ran in front of him and stared at him, his eyes full of admiration.
Uzumaki Naruto was at a loss.
"Just in case, let's go see Naruto."
"Great!"
So far, he has not doubted Sarutobi Hiruzen because of Natsume's words.
Natsume didn't go directly to Uzumaki Naruto, it would have easily aroused suspicion.
If the Nine-Tails goes berserk in the future, Naruto Uzumaki can rely on the bond he has cultivated since childhood to awaken his feelings for Konoha and his friends, stop the gorpup in time, and avoid the worst case scenario.
But it has to be said that Natsume's contact with Uzumaki Naruto was beyond his expectation.
Natsume filled in Tsunade as the person in charge of the casino.
"Really? Thanks grandpa!"
It's just that Jiraiya is limited to the so-called son of prophecy and wanders around all day long.
The recognition from the Hokage made Uzumaki Naruto extremely excited.
Natsume, as her apprentice, will have to come into contact with the Nine-Tails Jinchuuriki sooner or later.
Recently, Tsunade has chosen a mission but hasn't set off yet because she has to make some preparations.
Tsunade also has hemophobia, which makes it difficult for her to be a normal ninja.
He asked Masahiro, the person in charge of Gunma Casino, to wait for him to come to buy something and then notify him in time.
When everyone saw him, they immediately looked disgusted, as if they had encountered something unclean, and walked away quickly.
After a while, Uzumaki Naruto opened the door.
When Sarutobi Hiruzen heard this, he smiled, basically the same as the information.
The situation did not get better as he expected, and instead of accepting him, everyone avoided him.
He guessed that the last conversation had an effect, and Uzumaki Naruto was a little shaken towards Sarutobi Hiruzen.
The feeling of loneliness only got stronger.
After that, let Uzumaki Naruto have some reliable teachers and friends.
"Yes."
The longing for Hokage is transferred to him as the current Hokage.
"OK."
He showed a happy smile.
Sarutobi Hiruzen thought, changed his clothes, left the Hokage's office, and went straight to Naruto's house.
Sarutobi Hiruzen wanted to stop it, but later he acquiesced.
Sarutobi Hiruzen praised Natsume because he didn't give things to Uzumaki Naruto directly, but sold them to him, taking the child's self-esteem into consideration.
The indifference of the villagers can accelerate Naruto Uzumaki's feelings for him, and he can firmly grasp this powerful weapon.
He wants to become Hokage and protect everyone.
But it’s not much, and you still need to add more fire.
Sarutobi Hiruzen naturally knew that his current life was not easy.
Sure enough, Grandpa Hokage was too busy to notice before.
The only omission that occurred was that Shimura Danzo forced his way in and spread the news that Uzumaki Naruto was the incarnation of the demon fox.
It seems that Natsume didn't say anything strange.
"By the way! Grandpa, today I found that the third statue on Hokage Rock looks very similar to you. Are you Hokage?"
Under his influence, Naruto yearned extremely for Hokage.
"I want to protect everyone, but everyone always says bad things to me, saying that I am a demon fox. Grandpa Hokage, am I really a demon fox?"
On the contrary, he was excited to know that he was Hokage.
At the same time, it also reflects his own excellent character.
"Is Naruto home?"
Not to mention Shimura Danzo, he can be excluded just because of his age.
"you are not."
As for Natsume, it would be fine if she came into contact with Uzumaki Naruto.
Uzumaki Naruto took out the instant noodles and said, "I met a very nice big brother today, and he is willing to sell me things!"
"Wow!"
There was no long wait, only three days passed.
Uzumaki Naruto came to Gunma Casino.
In fact, his purpose was not to buy anything, but to meet Natsume.
He was having a hard time these days, so he thought of this big brother who was kind to him.
