There was a resume on Sarutobi Hiruzen's desk, but he was standing at the window, holding his pipe in his mouth, looking down at the entire Konoha.
Dong Dong Dong…
"Come in."
Sarutobi Hiruzen turned around and looked at the blond jounin who came to obey his orders. He couldn't help but chuckle and said, "Minato, after the war, how have you been with Kushina lately?"
Namikaze Minato's face suddenly turned red: "..."
"Okay, stop joking."
The Third Hokage nodded and pushed the resume on the desk in front of the blond jounin: "Minato, look at this, it seems that I have found a good little guy."
That resume records a person's information.
Namikaze Naruto, sixteen years old.
Former Sunagakure ninja, one of the prisoners in the Battle of Kikyo Mountain.
Current residence: Konoha Orphanage, working as a handyman.
Namikaze Minato frowned subconsciously, because he didn't see anything noteworthy about this resume at all. The Battle of Mount Kikyo happened two years ago, which means that Namikaze Naruto came here when he was fourteen years old.
Arriving in Konoha?
Could it be that it is his name?
Namikaze Minato stared closely at the photo on his resume. The bright golden hair on his head was exactly the same as his, but Namikaze Naruto's smile seemed to be very hearty, and one of his eyes was half-closed, which looked a little playful.
The blond jounin put down his resume and looked at Sarutobi Hiruzen sincerely: "Hokage-sama...is he my relative?"
"Cough cough cough..."
Sarutobi Hiruzen choked on the smoke. After coughing for a long time, he shook his head and continued: "Originally I thought so too, but the little guy mentioned that both his parents died when he was born.
It shouldn’t be possible.”
"That…"
"I just think this little guy is great."
Sarutobi Hiruzen knocked on his cigarette pot, glanced at Namikaze Minato in front of him, and made a suggestion: "What do you think about letting him become a ninja in the village? I think the two of you are quite destined.
Yes, I’m here to ask for your opinion…”
"If his assessment is okay..."
Namikaze Minato nodded imperceptibly.
If he remembered correctly, the Konoha Orphanage should be the territory where the Hokage assisted Danzo Shimura, so did Hiruzen Sarutobi steal people from Danzo?
Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at Namikaze Minato and continued: "Minato, Uchiha Obito died in the war. The establishment of Minato's class is not complete, so how about temporarily adding this little guy to your class?
?”
Namikaze Minato was silent: "..."
Since the end of the Battle of Kannabi Bridge and Obito Uchiha's death, the two little guys in Minato's class have not been in a good mood.
To be honest, he didn't really want another person to occupy Obito's position.
However, Konohagakure's decision to complete the team formation is for the sake of combat effectiveness. Now they can only hope that Kakashi and Lin will not be too repulsive to their new teammates.
But this Namikaze Naruto is already sixteen years old, so I think he should be able to take care of Kakashi and Lin's emotions, right?
"By the way, there's one more thing."
Sarutobi Hiruzen pulled out a file and handed it to Namikaze Minato: "Recently, there has been a strange movement in the dragon vein sealed by Loulan. Here is a piece of information. Please take a look at it sometime!"
"Loulan?"
"Yes, the energy there is extremely huge."
Sarutobi Hiruzen nodded and said solemnly: "And this mission is also extremely important. Minato squad may not be enough to complete the mission, so I plan to assign two more elite ninjas to go with you."
"clear."
Namikaze Minato lowered his head.
Sarutobi Hiruzen clapped his hands and said in a deep voice: "It just so happens that during your absence, Minato's squad can also perform low-level ninja tasks in the village, so that they can get familiar with each other."
After Minato Namikaze left, Hiruzen Sarutobi stroked his resume on the table, looked at the smile of the yellow-haired young man, and couldn't help but frown.
This matter actually has his own considerations.
After the director of Konoha Orphanage, Yakushi Nonou, died during a spy mission not long ago, the little guy named Namikaze Naruto chose to take on the responsibility of the director of the orphanage and protect the children inside.
Shimura Danzo has always used the Konoha Orphanage as a base for recruiting root ninjas. Sarutobi Hiruzen didn't want to destroy the relatively harmonious relationship between him and Danzo, so he always let him do what he did.
Until not long ago, two root ninjas had a conflict with Namikaze Naruto.
Only then did Sarutobi Hiruzen notice that there was a good ninja in Konoha Orphanage, so he simply transferred Namikaze Naruto to Minato's command, which not only supplemented the strength of Minato's squad, but also solved the problem between him and the root.
conflict.
Due to years of war, Konoha has always been short of manpower.
According to Sarutobi Hiruzen's observations, the young man named Namikaze Naruto is a kind man and should be able to be baptized by the will of fire.
Konoha Orphanage.
Uzumaki Naruto has been in this world for more than two years, and he has almost figured out the situation in this world, which seems to be the same as in history.
Because of Naruto's identity in another world, he knew very well about the operating mechanism of Konoha, and entered Konoha with the help of his identity as a prisoner in the Battle of Mount Kikyo.
Not long ago, the pharmacist Nonoyu died mysteriously while on duty, causing panic in the entire Konoha orphanage. Two root ninjas planned to bring these children into the root.
These children are not aware of the problem of the roots. As one of the core members of the 'De-Transformation of Sarutobi Hiruzen', Uzumaki Naruto is fully aware of what the roots are doing.
Children who can become ninjas will be incorporated into their roots to become executioners under Shimura Danzo; children who cannot become ninjas will become experimental subjects in Orochimaru's laboratory.
However, he had just driven away two root ninjas when Sarutobi Hiruzen came to talk to him and wanted to make him a ninja of Konoha.
Doesn't this mean that you want to drive him away from the orphanage?
When he returns to his own world in the future, he must find a way to collect information about the problems of the Konoha orphanage and compile these things into a new crime for Sarutobi Hiruzen.
Is this what a Hokage should do while sitting back and watching Danzo Shimura make mistakes?
A young man wearing glasses walked over, looked at Naruto in front of him, and said: "Naruto, those children have been sent to Konoha Hospital by me to work as caregivers. Do you have a place to go now?"
"Don't worry about me, Kabuto."
Naruto looked at the somewhat gentle man in front of him and could not imagine that a kind-hearted young man like Kabuto Yakushi would grow up to be the Fifth Kazekage full of evil tricks in another world.
Yakushi Kabuto sat next to him, suddenly lowered his head and said: "Naruto, you are my only friend in the world, can I ask you to promise me something?"
Because they were captured together at Mount Kikyo, they both joined the Konoha Orphanage together, and their relationship is currently quite good.
Uzumaki Naruto frowned: "You tell me first..."
"If I change in the future..."
Kabuto Yakushi took off his glasses and said softly: "Then you can take me to the dean's tombstone, okay?"
Uzumaki Naruto was silent for a while: "...Okay, I hope you don't regret what you said today."
Even if Kabuto Yakushi cultivates into the sage mode of Jackie Chan, he is no match for him, so Kabuto Yakushi is effectively cutting off his own future.
Just when the two of them were planning to have their last dinner and say goodbye, a blond man appeared at the Konoha Orphanage and knocked on the door: "Excuse me, is Namikaze Naruto still here?"
