Chapter 16 Going to School

"Naruto, can you introduce your friends to Grandpa?"

After putting the festive snacks he brought with him into the refrigerator, Ape Fei Ri Slash skillfully pulled out a chair and sat down as if he were at home, looking like he was tired from walking a long way and wanted to sit for a while.

It's easy to elicit sympathy.

Coming to Naruto's house in the New Year was something he had planned for a long time.

First, his son and eldest grandson are not around, even if he is half a lonely old man, he really needs the company of his children.

Second, it is to do this, so that Naruto, who is a human pillar force, can rely on him and trust him more.

If it weren't for the sudden mention of the Nine-Tails by these two children, he would have followed the original plan and waited until the fireworks were set off at night, and when Naruto was lonely and lonely to the extreme, he would suddenly appear again to give Naruto a big surprise.

In this way, Naruto's feelings for him can be considered strong. In Narutobi's heart, Sarutobi Hizashi will always be the one who saves him from darkness and being alone.

If there is an accident in the future, the tailed beast will go berserk, and he can also rely on this strong "bond" cultivated since childhood to awaken the humanity in Naruto's heart and avoid the worst.

But he did a lot of calculations, but he didn't expect that Uchiha Fugaku's youngest son would start remembering at the age of less than three months. In order not to let the two children continue this topic and irritate Naruto, he had to send a shadow clone to come over in advance.

In addition to steering the conversation away from the Nine-Tails, he also wanted to see if the precocious child's temperament and whether he could become a ninja who identified with the Will of Fire like the Uchiha Kagami or Shisui.

Of course, the most important thing is to determine whether Yoshiyo approached Naruto because of someone else's intentional guidance.

He narrowed his eyes into the shape of a crescent moon that a kind old man should have, and looked at Yiyong with a smile, thinking that this would make the other party let down his guard.

But the elders that Yiyong was used to were the more stern type of Mr. Scale, and it was a little difficult for him to make out his expressions, so all the superficial work done by Ape Fei Ri was like throwing stones into the sea, without making a little wave.

Yi Yong's only impression of Ape Fei Ri is that he feels very familiar with this old man.

[The shape of this beard, I always feel like I've seen it somewhere......]

"Grandpa, he's Uchiha Yoshiyoshi, and he gave me that mask before."

After Naruto finished speaking, he happily turned to Yoshiyu, "This old man is very good, since I live here, he is the only one who has come to visit me. ”

In Naruto's eyes, the two people in front of him were the warmth that was rare in his short life.

"But the old man always said that he had been the Hokage, so he must be bragging. The Hokage is the strongest person in the village, how can he seem so imposing, right, Yoshiyong. ”

Naruto Uzumaki smiled and waited for Yoshito to agree.

But the latter suddenly realized.

[No wonder it's so familiar.] 】

"You are indeed the third Hokage."

He said directly, "The third statue on the Hokage Rock looks a lot like you. ”

"Huh?!"

This time it was Naruto's turn to be surprised.

He suddenly ran up to the ape and took a closer look, and the pupils in his beautiful blue eyes shrank into a lovely circle, which was full of suspicion.

"Really?!

"But the three generations of Hokage on Shadow Rock are obviously fierce! It's completely different from you. ”

"Ahem, that's what I looked like when I first became Hokage, and of course it's going to change now."

Ape Feiri clenched his fists and coughed, but his attention was on the expressionless Yiyong.

From Yiyong's tone, he analyzed that the other party didn't seem to have any respect for his own shadow, and it should be influenced by the atmosphere of the Uchiha clan, which was not a big deal.

Two years ago, there was also a shinobi named Uchiha Yanhuo who said in public that he was old and weak and mediocre in the barbecue Q, which to a certain extent reflected Uchiha's attitude towards him.

From the mouth of Uchiha Yoshiyu, can you know what the patriarch of Fugaku thinks of him and the village?

He looked at Yiyong with a kind smile.

"Are you called Righteous Brave? I think you're supposed to be Fugaku and Mikoto's child, right? ”

"Yes." Yi Yong nodded.

It was the first time he had seen the Hokage in person.

In his understanding, the Hokage was the strongest person in the village, equivalent to the existence of the Rock Pillar Sorrow in the Demon Slayer Team.

But is this short old man in front of him really so powerful?

"Sure enough, it's you. My grandfather and your deceased grandfather are old friends, and your father was also raised by me. Don't dislike it, just call me grandpa like Naruto. ”

The old man first explained the origin of the two families, and then asked seemingly casually: "Your parents should have also mentioned me to you, right?" ”

Kakashi outside the window rolled his eyes.

Shisui told him that Uchiha Yoshiyoshi never lies, and it seems that the three generations of adults should be able to say a lot today.

But no one could have imagined that the answer given by Yi Yong was surprisingly short.

"I mentioned it."

And then there was nothing to follow.

It's like someone has just shown you a delicious meal in front of you, but they have taken it away before you can get closer.

Ape Flying Sun: "......"

[When this kid was talking to Naruto about expired milk just now, wasn't he still very able to speak. 】

[Or is he influenced by his family and doesn't trust me at all?] 】

Although he was a little frustrated, Ape Fei Ri Slash did not show it on his face, but asked cheekily: "Yiyong, do you hate grandpa a little?" Can you tell grandpa why? Is it something that grandpa did badly? ”

He seems to be really pleasing the child, but this is actually another way to ask questions to test the attitude of the Fuyue family towards him.

Naruto suddenly tensed.

He didn't want to see a conflict between two people in his life who were kind to him, especially if one of them was still the Hokage.

"I don't hate you."

Yoshi's standard grammar reappeared, and Kakashi outside the window seemed to be back in time.

"I just want to know, don't all the orphans in the village be raised in orphanages until they are nine years old? Why did Naruto live here alone? ”

It was hard for him to imagine that a child who could be taken care of by the Hokage himself would live such a life.

Sarutobi's smile froze.

This was an unfolding he didn't expect, and Yoshiyu would actually stand in Naruto's position and ask him questions. This is very unusual for the Uchiha.

Naruto, who had never had a similar question before, also cast a questioning look.

"Grandpa, if you're the Hokage, why don't you just let me live in an orphanage?"

[In that case, at least I won't be alone.] 】

"Hmmm......"

The embarrassment of the ape flying to the sun was fleeting.

He could even cope with the entanglement of the Hokage advisor, how could he be stumped by the two children.

"You don't know about this. The children in the orphanage are war orphans from other countries, and their parents are not from the village, so the village can only guarantee them the minimum treatment. And Naruto's parents, who are ninjas in the village, of course have to be treated differently. ”

Sarutobi paused, "In addition, the orphans of the ninjas in the village are all ninjas who will become ninjas in the future, and in order to exercise their self-care ability, we decided to let them live alone from an early age. Not only Naruto, but also the orphans of the ninjas in the village also grew up like this. ”

Hearing the word "parent", Naruto's mood was a little low, and Sarutobi also felt a faint guilt in his heart, but it did not affect his decision-making as Hokage.

"What about milk?"

Yiyong then asked. Although he didn't mean to question, with his cold face, he looked a little aggressive.

"Naruto said you came to see him often, didn't you notice that he kept drinking expired milk? And the people in the village, why are they reluctant to sell things to him? ”

[That's all Tuanzang's fault.] 】

Ape Fei Ri really wanted to blurt out.

But to be honest, Danzo's plan to let the villagers isolate Naruto was tacitly approved by him.

"It was indeed my negligence."

Sarutobi showed a ashamed expression, both true and false, "I'm usually very busy with work, and it's rare to come to see Naruto once, but I didn't find these problems, it's all my negligence." Thanks to you, Yiyong, if only the children in the village were as attentive as you. ”

He first praised Yiyong, and then looked at Naruto with an apologetic face: "I'm sorry Naruto, it's all grandpa's fault, I didn't expect you to have such a hard time......"

Sure enough, as the ape flew to the sun.

Naruto, who was already accustomed to pleasing him, was startled and said in a loud voice, "It's okay! Anyway, my body is fine, I only have occasional diarrhea, nothing big hahaha. ”

"Anyway, Grandpa promised you that he would notify the village and let them sell you something again."

Ape Fei Ri made a promise.

"Really?"

Naruto's eyes widened, almost bursting into tears, and he rushed up and hugged Sarutobi's waist, "Thank you, Grandpa Hokage!" ”

He didn't know, and Yiyong couldn't understand it, but Kakashi outside the house felt a chill in his heart, feeling at the cunning of the three generations.

With a few words, he first avoided the key question of "why didn't the villagers sell things to Naruto", then caused Naruto's guilt with a sincere apology, and finally simply solved the problem directly, making Naruto's favorability and dependence on him skyrocket on the spot.

But all the while, he didn't answer the question of why the villagers treated Naruto differently, and easily bypassed......

If he had Kakashi been the Hokage, he would have already made an excuse to leave on the spot.

On the other hand, when Yoshito heard that Naruto would be able to go shopping on his own in the future, he felt that his plan to make him healthy was a little easier, and his grim expression unconsciously relaxed.

This scene fell in the eyes of Ape Fei Ri Slash, and made him sure of one thing, that is-

This kid really cares about Naruto.

Being able to stand in the shoes of a stranger who has just met for a short time and argue with him, the Hokage.

For this alone, Yoshito is already very different from the vast majority of narrow-minded Uchihas.

With the right guidance, he can also become a ninja like Kagami and Shisui, and see the village and others as more important than himself and the Uchiha clan.

This is the inheritance of the Will of Fire!

[However, I heard that this kid doesn't want to be a ninja...... But Fu Yue should not allow this kind of thing, and the speed shown by this kid before is also proof. 】

The three generations were active, chatted with Naruto for a few words, and gradually led the topic to another topic: "By the way, Naruto, grandpa will bring you a few books tomorrow." You're going to a ninja school next March, so you'll need to prepare well to keep up with others. ”

As he spoke, he smiled slyly, "If Naruto studies hard and his admission grades are satisfactory, I will tell the teachers of the ninja school to put you and Yoshito in the same class, how about it?" Then you might be at the same table. ”

"Does talk count?"

"Of course." The old man nodded triumphantly.

Before, he hadn't been sure to persuade Naruto, who was always bullied by his peers, to go to school, but now he had. Next, it is enough to make sure that Yiyong will also go to school.

With this child's easy side, if he became friends with many children from the village, he would never give up on the Uchiha clan.

And his attitude towards the village will definitely affect the Uchiha Itachi, who is favored by the high-level.

[When the time comes, if there is any movement in the Uchiha clan and Fugaku's attitude, we will be able to investigate it in time and prepare in advance. 】

Sure enough, Naruto spat out two long snorts of the people he knew in his class at the ninja school, "I, Naruto Uzumaki, will definitely work hard!" ”

After saying the declaration, he turned around abruptly and grabbed Yiyong's hand, "I will definitely be in the same class as you with Yiyong!"

"When the time comes, will you be at the same table with me?"

The pressure came to the side of the volunteers.

He stared at Naruto's warm little hands, a little overwhelmed.

Itachi also persuaded him to go to the ninja school during this time, but Yiyong knew very well that although the resolution of the Flame Breath had been brushed, the most convenient place to increase the resolution of the Moon's Breath was still the Uchiha clan.

Going to school wastes a lot of time, and he might as well get along with those eye-opening clansmen.

In addition, Itachi graduated from the ninja school at the age of seven, and the source of his Uchiha Yoshito's strength was not ninjutsu, and studying there could not make him stronger.

The most important thing is -

"I don't want to be a ninja."

He relented and pulled his hand out of Naruto Uzumaki's hand, whose glowing eyes visibly fading.

"Why?"

He asked reluctantly, "Doesn't everyone in the village want to be a ninja?" ”

Yi Yong actively avoided his gaze.

On the contrary, Ape Fei Ri smiled predictably, "I understand, it's Yiyong who doesn't want to hurt others, right?" ”

Yoshiyo unexpectedly raised his head and glanced at the three generations of Hokage, which also made the latter confirm the rumors he had heard before.

[Such a soft-hearted Uchiha is really rare......]

[But the softer the heart, the better it is to persuade, because they always care too much about other people's feelings......]

"It's okay, let the children in the village go to the ninja school, just so that they won't be too lonely, and by the way, learn some knowledge and understand the world."

The third generation Hokage said slowly, "It's not that if you go to a ninja school, you have to become a ninja. If you have any concerns, just don't take the test.

"And as far as I know, you also have a twin brother named Sasuke, doesn't he want to go to ninja school either?

"If you don't go to school, he and Naruto will be very lonely."

Hearing Sasuke's name, Yoshito hesitated for a moment, but immediately reaffirmed his will.

If there was no goal to resurrect the pillar, maybe he would have nodded directly because of his soft-heartedness. But now, he has more important tasks, and he really can't "waste his time" in the ninja school.

Just as he was about to reject the offer of the third generation to invite him to school again, a familiar voice suddenly sounded.

[Get in close proximity with Naruto Uzumaki for 1 hour, and the resolution of the breath of the sun is +0.005.] 】

“?”

Yoshito was stunned, his gaze rolling over Naruto Uzumaki's face.

For the first time in months, this was the first time he had brushed out the resolution of the Breath of the Sun, and there were so many of them!

This means that Naruto has an extremely high-quality yang attribute chakra (Nine-Tails: ...... )!

[The introduction to the breath of the sun is the condition for the resurrection of the Ganlu Temple. Although the analysis of the Breath of the Moon will be slower when you go to school, it will still grow steadily...... But if you miss Naruto, then it will be troublesome to find a reason to get along for a long time in the future. 】

"Hokage-sama."

Yi Yong suddenly used an honorific title, "How long do students stay in the ninja school every day?" ”

"10 hours, and it will be longer in the summer."

It's a little strange that Sarutobi is a little strange, how could Yoshiyoshi ask this kind of question that the Nara family likes to ask the most.

So he added, "There are 20 days of vacation every year." ”

Hearing this number, Yoshito made a calculation in his head, and finally nodded in Naruto Uzumaki's expectant eyes.

"Then I'm willing to go to the ninja school."
