"Well, yes, very good. Under the guidance of no one, not only did he master the art of shadow clone, but he was also able to guide the training of the child from the Uchiha clan with ease...... Naruto, you can really surprise Grandpa. ”

Looking at Naruto, who was finally willing to let down his vigilance and appear in front of him, Miyome Hokage smiled and whispered in praise while raising his hand to caress the beard on his chin.

"Speaking of which...... You kid know me? ”

"Hmph, of course, the statue of my grandfather carved on the Hokage Rock, I see it every day! How could you not recognize it! ”

Hearing this, Naruto scratched the tip of his nose with his fingers with a little pride, and then straightened his body with his hands on his hips, squinting and grinning in response.

"Well, it's okay, although I've been practicing hard, I still can't hide it from the third generation of Hokage's grandfather...... Hehe, sure enough, as everyone else said, Grandpa Hokage is the strongest ninja in the village! ”

"Hahaha! Although you are young, this kid is quite good at talking with this mouth. ”

After hearing Naruto's words, the three generations of Hokage, who was smoking the pipe on his mouth, couldn't help but smile even more in his eyes, and while he had a free hand to cover and pet the person's little head, he asked curiously.

"Wait, what did you kid say before...... Long time no see? ”

"Ah, of course, although I don't have much of an impression, but I think this is definitely not the first time Grandpa Miyome and I have met."

Hearing the inquiry of the person in front of him, Naruto held back the shame in his heart and let people coax him to touch his head like a child, and at the same time tilted his head a little, and said words that shocked the three generations of Hokage with a smile.

"After Mom and Dad sacrificed their lives for the village, Grandpa, who is the third generation of Hokage, must have been to the scene to confirm the situation, right? If you think about it this way, it's normal to guess that you've met before! ”

"Mom and Dad...... Sacrifice...... Naruto, ...... you?! ”

As soon as Naruto's words fell, a terrifying chill surged up and down his body like falling into an ice cave, and his palms trembled slightly, and he looked at Naruto's expression carefully.

"Who told you this? Naruto...... Do you know who your mom and dad are? ”

"Of course, as a child whose parents protect with their lives, how can I not know who my parents are?"

Noticing the scrutinizing gaze cast by the Miyome Hokage, Naruto raised his head without concealment and looked directly at Dafangfang, tilting his head slightly as if he was just saying a normal little thing, and continued to speak word by word.

"My mom was the last Nine-Tails Pillar Force before me, Uzumaki Kushina. And my father is a great hero who sacrificed his life to save the village, the fourth generation of Hokage wave Feng Shui Gate......"

"Am I right? Three generations of Hokage's grandfather. ”

“…… You're right, kid. The eyes of the three generations of Hokage carefully looked at the little guy in front of him, and found that Naruto, who was laughing, not only did he not have half of his hatred and dissatisfaction with himself because of the indifference and discrimination of the villagers over the years, but he unreservedly trusted the three generations of Hokage, and at the same time, his blue and clear eyes were full of intimacy, which made the three generations of Hokage greatly relieved. Since he knew his own background, he didn't break the agreement with Danzo, and nodded slightly in affirmation of Naruto's answer.

"Naruto...... Since you know where you came from, why didn't you tell Grandpa sooner? In that case, you won't have to suffer so much......"

"Suffering? Hey, there's no one! From the day I was born, this place has been filled with the love of my parents, and the rest just needs to be treated as a kind of practice! ”

The corners of Naruto's mouth rose slightly, and while the thumb of one hand lightly pressed against his heart, the other hand pointed to the thick roots of the exposed dirt beside the two of them.

"Besides, even the three generations of Hokage's grandfather failed to prevent this from happening, which shows that the village is not as peaceful as it seems on the surface...... At this juncture, it's okay for me to suffer a little grievance, but I can't add more trouble to the three generations of Hokage's grandfather. ”

It wasn't Naruto who deliberately pretended to say this, but it was a real thing.

The first is that Naruto knows how ruthless Danzo can be in order to successfully sit on the throne of Hokage, and that only by maintaining the identity of the spurned demon fox can he more safely survive the most vulnerable period of his childhood, which is easy to "die young", and secondly, ...... It is out of familiarity and cognition of the kind old man in front of him.

Although Naruto didn't have much affection for the Konoha high-level who created his miserable childhood, and could even be said to be full of disgust, he was really full of respect for the amiable third-generation Hokage in front of him.

The three generations of Hokage apes fly to the sun...... As one of the personal disciples of the first and second generations of Hokage, the third generation Hokage has all five chakra attributes, so he alone can skillfully perform the five-attribute ninjutsu of wind, thunder, earth, fire and water, and is known as a ninjutsu professor while cultivating the world-famous "Three Ninjas"! With a powerful strength that is difficult to match in contemporary times, he inherited the title of the ninja god among the first Hokage Thousand Hands Pillar!

In addition, the third generation of Hokage is the longest reigning Hokage in the history of Konoha and led the creation of the heyday of Konoha Ninja Village. Later, when Orochimaru led the invasion of Sand Hidden Village and Otoshinobi Village, in order to protect the village, he single-handedly fought the two Hokages who were summoned from the world of the dead in the state of reincarnation of the filthy earth. In the end, in order to protect the village from being destroyed by Orochimaru, he chose to sacrifice his life and used the sealing technique. It can be said that he is a respectable ninja who has dedicated his life to his beloved village without reservation, and has died with all his might.

Of course, these words alone are at most to gain Naruto's respect, and the most important thing that makes Naruto fully trust the third generation Hokage is that when Naruto was framed as a demon fox because of the exclusion and suppression of the villagers, the third generation of the Hokage was one of the few high-level members of Konoha during this period, and it can even be said that he was the only high-level member of Konoha who only protected Naruto and was sincere to Naruto.

When the young Naruto was ostracized and resented by the villagers and was confused and wronged, it was the third generation of Hokage who concealed his identity and looked for Naruto's side, patiently persuading Naruto to come out of the shadow that was enough to twist people's psychology into monsters.

When Naruto was bewitched by Mizuki and stole the Book of Seals, he influenced Naruto's Umino Iruka, and it was the third generation Hokage who was worried about Naruto's life alone and specially told him to take care of Naruto on his behalf. And Kakashi Hagi, the leading teacher who had a great influence on the seventh class, was also the best choice for Naruto arranged by the three generations of Hokage.

Although this will only happen to Naruto in the original book, since he has replaced the identity of Naruto Uzumaki, he will naturally remember it...... The grace of a drop of water, when reciprocated by a spring, is an important principle that Naruto's heart believes in!

“…… How much do you know, kid? ”

"Well, it's just that I tried to collect some information in my free time for cultivation...... I understand a little, I understand a little~"

Naruto winked innocently and playfully as he spoke, trying to make himself look cute and harmless, but just from Naruto's previous small gesture of deliberately pointing at the roots of the tree, it was enough for the three generations of Hokage to know...... The surprises and secrets hidden in this small body in front of him were far more than many times more than he originally expected!

"Why, then, after all this patience, did you suddenly tell me these truths? Are you going to keep it hidden? Or is there something important that you little guy has to ask me for help, old man? ”

The three generations of Hokage, who had gradually ceased to regard Naruto as a child, slowly withdrew the palm he was caressing and asked softly.

"No, I plan to continue to hide it, after all, with my current strength, it is safer to live as a 'demon fox'...... So, this will be a secret between me and Grandpa Hokage. ”

Out of the corner of Naruto's eye, he glanced at the small fan playing with the shadow clone in the stream in the distance, and after a pause, he continued with a smile on his face.

"However, I do have a few things that I want to talk about with Grandpa Hokage of the third generation......"

With Naruto's methodical narration, the mature and sophisticated face gradually showed a maturity and sophistication that was obviously inconsistent with his age, which surprised the three generations of Hokage, and at the same time, there was a faint sense of familiarity and nostalgia from it...... It's as if I saw the figure of the Bo Feng Shuimen who was wearing the robes of the four generations of Hokage back then, and was calm and wise step by step!
