"Grandpa...... Well, that's a good name. If you want to call it that, just call it that. ”

Slightly stunned, from the words that came out of Naruto's mouth, he realized that Naruto had begun to remove the prefix of his name intentionally or unintentionally like a real grandfather and grandson when he addressed himself. Although the three generations of Hokage pretended to be full of indifference, he squinted a little, making the wrinkles at the corners of his eyes more and more conspicuous, and he couldn't close his smile.

"Welcome home, Naruto."

"Hehe, since grandpa allowed it, then I will call it that directly in the future~"

Seeing the kind old man in front of him smiling, it was obvious that he was satisfied and relieved because of his inadvertent title change. While Naruto's heart warmed, he didn't unwittingly expose the old man's cover-up words. Then the words paused slightly, while letting the old man hug him tightly, and as if he intended to respond, he folded his arms and hugged him back. Wen Sheng continued, turning his head slightly, looking in the direction of the office door, which was only half-opened by himself, so that he could not see the hallway clearly.

"Ah, speaking of which...... Grandpa, when I came back this time, I not only achieved my goals and gained a lot, but also brought some new friends to meet my grandfather~"

"New friends? You mean......"

At first hearing Naruto's words, the three generations of Hokage, who regularly received the status of everyone's journey from Itachi and Shisui's shadow clones. Suddenly I thought of the two of them that they had mentioned, the mother and daughter of the Uzumaki clan who were rescued from the Grass Ninja Village. And subconsciously, I planned to say the answer directly.

"Who? This is stumped grandpa......"

But on second thought, this was undoubtedly conveying to Naruto that he had people "watching" Naruto all the time, which was extremely easy to cause misunderstandings. So much so that after a slight pause, the three generations of Hokage frowned before Naruto noticed this abnormality, pretending to be in deep thought, and quickly changed his words. Then, under Naruto's gaze, he smiled and raised his hands high, and said to Naruto "disarm and surrender".

"Ahh......h But by saying that, it means that your new friends must be waiting outside the office, right? Then let them in, waiting outside dryly, is not the etiquette that should be had when dealing with guests from afar. ”

Between the words, even Naruto didn't notice was that most of the people waiting outside the door were Kaori's mother and daughter. The three generations of Hokage did not use the word "they" to address them, but instead used the more general term "they". So that Naruto never questioned the three generations of Hokage, but always trusted the three generations of Hokage back 100%. I didn't find any subtle anomalies in the words of the three generations of Hokage.

"Hmm...... That's right...... So, grandpa, I'll call them in. ”

It is precisely because of this that Naruto is single-mindedly thinking about what kind of reason he should use to logically introduce the mother and daughter to the three generations of Hokage. After hearing the words of the three generations of Hokage who took the initiative to invite, his first reaction was not to follow the previous vigilant and cautious style, thinking about why the three generations of Hokage would agree so easily. Instead, he breathed a sigh of relief for this, and slowly withdrew from the arms of the three generations of Hokage with a smile, and waved in the direction of the gate, shouting not lightly or heavily.

"Hey, hey! Get! You can come in! ”

As soon as Naruto's words fell, there was another sound of short footsteps in the corridor where silence had been restored. And then accompanied by a "squeak" sound, the half-open and half-hidden door was completely opened, and the figures of the four people, Xianglin's mother and daughter, Itachi and Shisui, slowly stepped into the Hokage's office.

Or rather, it should be said that it is five talents. Because Xiang Lian has gradually fallen asleep sweetly and fallen asleep. In order to allow people to sleep more peacefully, and not disturb the next development, the expected mother of Xiangru introduced herself to the three generations of Hokage. Naruto deliberately created a shadow clone to act as a humanoid self-propelled cradle bed in his place.

"Ah...... You...... Hello, dear ...... Three generations of Hokage-sama ......"

Perhaps it was the unpopular abuse experience in the grass ninja village that gradually gave birth to an inferiority complex and cowardice in the heart of Xiangri's mother. And at the moment of stepping into the office, even if the three generations of Hokage looked at the eyes of the mother and daughter, they were kind and gentle without discrimination. still flattered Xianglian's mother, stammering so much that even an ordinary greeting was almost incomplete.

In addition, because he had been waiting outside the corridor before, he listened to the conversation between Naruto and the third Hokage as a matter of course. In addition to being a "humble status", Xiangri's mother was able to be received by the famous Hokage of Konoha Village, and felt sincerely afraid. It was also because of Naruto's habitual blurting out the title of "grandpa" that Kaori's mother misunderstood the relationship between Naruto and the three generations of Hokage. And then the eyes of Kario's mother when she looked at Naruto became more and more stunned and shocked.

After all, after being rescued from the Kusa Ninja Village by Naruto, and on the journey to the Sand Ninja Village, he always spared no effort to provide medical treatment to Kaori's mother. So that Kaori's mother can be said to be the person who knows how strong Naruto is among the people in this line, except for Itachi, who is in the know. In addition, the customs clearance documents signed by the three generations of Hokage in Naruto's hands, as well as the respectful appearance of the doorman of Sand Ninja Village to Naruto's "wave wind face hemp" identity. Let the time and understanding between Kaoru's mother and Naruto, although not very deep. But with a woman's intuition, it can be more or less inferred that in addition to Naruto's strength, his status in Konoha Village is definitely not low......

But no matter how Xiangri's mother guessed, she never expected that the young man who was personally involved in danger in front of her, but always grinned like a nobody, rescued his mother and daughter from Kusanoshi Village, would be the grandson of the third generation of Hokage! Under this misunderstanding, what Naruto had mentioned was the kindness of coming to Kushinobi Village to rescue his mother and daughter, which naturally became more and more heavy. So much so that Kario's mother looked at Naruto's gaze and became more and more grateful, but she also quietly brought a little bit of awe to her. Even looking at Naruto's gaze was no longer as casual and natural as during the journey, but for fear of causing Naruto's dissatisfaction, he became much more cautious.

"Oh? Presumably...... You're the new friend you made on your journey, as Naruto said, right? ”

As he grows older, in terms of how he behaves in the world, he can be said to be the third generation of Hokage, who is already a human spirit, and naturally from the first time he saw Xiangri's mother, he realized that the person in front of him might have misunderstood something. But first, his current position is that he has "never heard of" the existence of Xianglian's mother and daughter. Second, it was the third generation of Hokage himself, and he was also happy that the person in front of him misunderstood the relationship between himself and Naruto as a pair of biological grandchildren. And the smile in his eyes was even bigger, and he habitually raised his hand to cover the soft ends of Naruto's hair affectionately. He raised his eyebrows slightly, and asked softly as he pretended to be puzzled and curious.

"Looks like she's a little too nervous...... So, I just have to ask you, little one, to introduce this new friend of yours to grandpa. ”

"Nervous ......?"

Originally, Naruto was holding the idea of letting Kario's mother introduce herself, and he was a supporting role, checking for missing thoughts on the side. When he heard that the three generations of Hokage were abrupt, he handed over the right to speak on the topic to his own hands. While muttering in a low voice, he instinctively raised his head and looked at Xiangri's mother, who seemed to be indeed timid and nervous not far away, so that her eyes were a little uneasy. Immediately, he only thought that it was the first time that Xiangri's mother came into contact with the three generations of Hokage, and he didn't know the character of the three generations of Hokage, for fear that he would say the wrong thing and anger the three generations of Hokage, resulting in a somewhat overwhelmed normal reaction, and did not take the strangeness of Xiangri's mother to heart. While following the topic of the three generations of Hokage, he smiled and nodded, and introduced it directly to people simply and clearly.

"Ah, that's right, after all, it's the first time we've met, so it's understandable to be a little nervous...... Well, I'll do it for you. These two are my new friends who I rescued from the Grass Ninja Village, and, like me, they are all ...... with the blood of the Uzumaki clan."

"Don't be too nervous, take it easy, ma'am...... Don't look at the noble status of the three generations of Hokage-sama, but he is an old man, but he is a good old man who is very easy to get along with. ”

And while Naruto was gushing, he introduced the origin of the three generations of Hokage to the Karyo mother and daughter. Itachi, who also saw the nervousness in Xianglian's mother's heart, raised the corners of his mouth slightly, and smiled and soothed.

"Moreover, with Naruto's help to speak, there will be no problem with letting your mother and daughter settle down in the village, don't worry."

"Hmm...... Say...... And that's ......."

Naruto introduced the room in an orderly manner, as always, showing the appearance of thinking about his mother and daughter, the unabated kind and sincere smile on the face of the three generations Hokage, coupled with the reassuring words of the people around him. After taking several deep breaths in succession, Xianglian's mother finally calmed down. Immediately, the words in his mouth paused slightly, and he looked at the Naruto and the three generations of Hokage, there was no distinction between upper and lower ranks, just like the real grandfather and grandson, there was a harmonious and warm atmosphere of talking and laughing. After his emotions relaxed, he couldn't suppress his curiosity for a while, and he couldn't help but sigh casually.

"Having said that, the relationship between Naruto-kun and his grandfather can be described as quite intimate. Moreover, it seems that the third generation of Hokage-sama is not too old, but he already has a young and promising grandson like Naruto-kun, which is really surprising...... After all, when I saw it just now, I thought that there was a father-son relationship between them. ”

"Yes, yes, the relationship between their grandparents and grandchildren is quite ...... Uh, wait...... Wait a minute? Grandchildren? Father and son? ”

After seeing that the emotions of the people around him gradually calmed down and relaxed, Itachi nodded slightly in satisfaction, and his attention was gradually drawn back to Naruto's conversation with the third Hokage. And after hearing the exclamatory words of Xianglian's mother, he subconsciously echoed and responded. But just halfway through the words in his mouth, because his brain digested and understood the meaning that Xianglian's mother wanted to express, it led to an abrupt interruption of life. Immediately, the conversation changed, and he immediately turned his head back. Facing the puzzled gaze of Xianglian's mother, her eyes looked up and down strangely.

"How...... What's wrong, Itachi-kun? ”

The abrupt words of the person next to her, as well as the diametrically opposed change of gaze, made Xiangri's mother immediately realize that she might have said something wrong. But after thinking about it, I really couldn't recall where there was a sense of disrespect and faux pas in the words I said before. So much so that while his emotions became nervous again, he tried to swallow his saliva and asked out loud with trembling tentatively.

"Didn't I mean...... What did you say wrong? ”

"Uh...... Although in a sense, Naruto can indeed call the three generations of Hokage-sama grandfathers, but the relationship between the two of them is not actually their own grandchildren......

From the stunned and puzzled expressions of the people, Itachi more or less understood that the other party had misunderstood the relationship between Naruto and the three generations of Hokage because of the title in Naruto's mouth. Then he cried and laughed, as if he didn't know how to explain, and whispered a little hesitantly.

"Moreover, at Naruto's age, how could he be the son of the third Hokage-sama. Even if Naruto's age was doubled or tripled, it would never be possible. ”

"Two ...... Two or three times? Itachi-kun, you're not kidding with my aunt, are you? ”

The truth learned from Itachi's mouth made Xianglian's mother seem to understand whether she understood or not, and instinctively nodded in agreement. But because of the last words added, his brows furrowed slightly. Then with a smile in his eyes, he waved his hand again and again and continued.

"It's impossible, it's impossible, Naruto is already so old, and if he doubles or triples, wouldn't he be even older than the third generation Hokage-sama? I can still figure out this kind of simple arithmetic problem. ”

"Huh? No, that's not what I meant. I mean, Naruto he ...... Wait, yes......"

"How...... What's wrong? ”

"Until now, Naruto never seemed to have mentioned this to you. If you think about it this way, it's no wonder that you mistake Naruto for the son of the third Hokage-sama......"

"Huh? Never mentioned...... What is it? ”

"Well, just by saying it, it may be a little unclear. Let Naruto himself use his actions to tell you the answer. ”

After seeing the person in front of him as a matter of course, he gave a judgment answer. The look of crying and laughing in the weasel's eyes suddenly became more and more vigorous. And then he was about to tell Naruto's real age directly, so as to correct the misunderstanding of the person in front of him. As a result, he realized that Naruto never seemed to reveal his true age to anyone from beginning to end. So much so that in order to respect Naruto's privacy, he tried to hold back a smile and trembled slightly. While responding and teasing with others, he turned his gaze to Naruto. Immediately, taking advantage of the opportunity that Naruto had just finished explaining the origin of Kaori's mother and daughter to the three generations of Hokage, he shouted straight out.

"Hey! Naruto! It's already home, how long are you going to maintain this awkward disguise! ”

"Huh? Yes! That's right...... For more than a week, I have been using this appearance. I'm getting used to it, and I've forgotten to change back......"

When I first heard Itachi's reminder, I didn't notice the curious and complicated look hidden in the eyes of Xiangri's mother. Naruto didn't think much about it, and after skillfully sealing his hands quickly, he smiled and said softly.

"Solution!"

"Appearance disguise? Awkward? What does that mean...... Huh? Alas? Alas——?! ”

After seeing Naruto's soft shout, he was shrouded in a strange performance in a rising white mist. As Kaori's mother muttered to herself the strange words Itachi had mentioned, her eyes were staring in Naruto's direction without blinking. And then in the white fog gradually dissipated, in the strange scene I saw with my own eyes, I completely forgot the nervousness and uneasiness in my heart. And when his eyes were wide open, almost glaring out a pair of his own eyeballs, he covered his mouth in disbelief and exclaimed.

"This ...... What's going on? Toll...... Naruto-kun ...... Turned into a little kid?! ”

Because, after the smoke cleared, for more than a week, the handsome young figure that he had gradually become accustomed to had quietly disappeared...... Instead, there was a man with the same smile as the young man, proving that the other party was the young man himself. But it is obvious that the body size has shrunk in general, and the image of a naughty naughty child has become immature and infantil!

"Well, that's the case...... Naruto, he's not an adult at all, he's just a child about the same age as your daughter. So...... Not to mention doubling it by two or three times, even if Naruto's current age is increased by more than twenty times, it is definitely not as old as the three generations of Hokage-sama. ”

Although he had expected it in advance, the people around him would exclaim in frustration because they couldn't accept such a huge contrast. But after seeing the three views of people being ruthlessly and completely shattered, the unbelievable stunned appearance revealed. For some reason, Itachi's heart recalled that when he first met Naruto, he found that the "Shinobi instructor" who taught his younger brother was actually a child about the same size as his younger brother. And then as if he was sympathetic, he raised his hand and patted Xianglian's mother's back [the height problem can't shoot the shoulder], so as to comfort people a little. While trying to hold back a smile, he whispered sympathetically in a tone from a passerby.

"Rest assured, although it may seem unbelievable, this is definitely not your dream, but a cold and cruel reality. and ......"

"Believe me, everyone was in the same mood as you when they first found out...... After being scared by Naruto a few more times in the future, and letting Naruto reorganize and disrupt common sense, he will naturally get used to it...... Probably. ”
