A Jinchuriki should obediently become the Village's weapon!
Rasa looked at Hiruzen Sarutobi in the black-framed large screen with a look of disappointment, as if he were iron that couldn't be forged into steel.
"Like this, there are too many unstable factors."
"It would be better to just hand him over to Danzo Shimura."
"At least, in this regard."
"Danzo Shimura is the same as me."
"Things like family affection and friendship are all burdens for a Jinchuriki!"
"Hmph!"
"What if it's my own son?"
"For the Village, everything is worth it!"
Of course, Rasa did not choose to speak out and express his philosophy.
After all, not only did he make his youngest son the Shukaku Jinchuriki.
He also frequently tried to assassinate his son.
And in the end, he even tricked his son with the life of his brother-in-law.
Such beastly behavior was no less than Konoha's F4.
Rasa himself had not expected it.
According to the Gold-Framed Naruto's timeline, when he was brought back by Edo Tensei, he only needed to remain silent, and it would eventually evolve into a silent father's love, where everything he did was out of love.
Oh, so he's getting whitewashed~
Time flies.
In the blink of an eye, a month passed.
During this time, little Naruto grew wildly like a weed, constantly absorbing nutrients.
In just one month.
Little Naruto's weight soared by 5kg, and his height increased by 1.5 cm.
This was how he should have been at this age.
His golden short hair had grown a bit long.
But little Naruto stood in front of the mirror and didn't think it looked bad.
He had also seen many men with long hair.
Knock, knock, knock—
As he was thinking, there was a knock at the door.
Little Naruto was startled.
Who could it be?
Besides himself, there was basically no one else in this building.
Those Ninja watching him disguised as 'neighbors' didn't count.
He opened the door and looked.
Little Naruto was stunned.
Standing before him was none other than the Old Man he had seen that night.
Compared to that day, the Old Man's attire today matched little Naruto's guess.
He wore a Hokage's ceremonial robe and a Hokage's hat.
With his hands behind his back, he looked at him with a benevolent smile.
At this moment, little Naruto felt that most of the watchful gazes around him seemed to disappear.
"Hokage Old Man?!" little Naruto said with some 'pleasant surprise'.
This past month, he had been thinking every day about how to gain the trust of the bastard leader.
He had even simulated it several times in his mind.
But in the end, he rejected all of them.
Because he didn't believe his clumsy acting could deceive the bastard leader.
Then he thought, wouldn't it be the best way to act according to the other party's purpose?
So, wouldn't it be enough to act a little more enthusiastic and show trust in him?
"Haha~"
"Naruto, are you surprised?"
Little Naruto nodded repeatedly, pulling Hiruzen Sarutobi into the house.
As soon as they entered, Hiruzen Sarutobi's gaze swept around.
However, Hiruzen Sarutobi didn't notice the vegetables in the potted plants behind the curtains and outside the balcony.
Otherwise, little Naruto might have experienced having his vegetables stolen and destroyed.
He didn't feel much about little Naruto's physical changes.
It was just that, looking at little Naruto's somewhat long hair, he narrowed his eyes slightly.
"Look what this is?" Hiruzen Sarutobi went straight to the point.
He put down a bulging envelope.
"What?"
Little Naruto took it and opened it.
He saw that the envelope was full of one-thousand-ryo bills.
He glanced roughly, there were about twenty bills.
"Wow~!"
"Old Man, you're so generous~!"
Looking at Naruto's excited expression, Hiruzen Sarutobi proudly stroked his head, "Of course."
"But you can't tell anyone, okay?"
"Such preferential treatment is only for you."
"Mm!!" little Naruto nodded heavily.
Hiruzen Sarutobi was smiling, but his heart sank.
He was so similar, too similar.
If he let his hair grow longer... many people might recognize Naruto's identity.
The thought flashed, and Hiruzen Sarutobi returned to normal, showing a kind smile.
"You need to plan the use of this money well, don't spend it recklessly, I won't be able to give you preferential treatment next month."
"I know!"
"By the way, Hokage Old Man."
"Hm? What is it?" Hiruzen Sarutobi asked with a chuckle.
"I want to learn to read. I heard that learning makes people progress, and I also want to understand the Will of Fire that Hokage Old Man talks about."
When he first heard about learning, Hiruzen Sarutobi was stunned for a moment and was somewhat unwilling.
But when he heard that Naruto wanted to actively learn the Will of Fire, he changed his mind.
"Good, I will prepare these things for you."
"Someone will deliver them to you tomorrow."
Hiruzen Sarutobi's smile grew wider.
Little Naruto then recounted his life during this period to Hiruzen Sarutobi, based on the Will of Fire he had heard that day.
There was no deception, because little Naruto knew that the Ninja monitoring him would definitely report it.
So, little Naruto only leaned his own thoughts towards the Will of Fire.
Things like, everyone bullies me, but I don't mind, I will work hard in silence and gain everyone's approval.
Finally, little Naruto's little head had a flash of inspiration and said, "Hokage Old Man, can I... become Hokage in the future?"
In an instant, little Naruto saw surprise and joy on Hiruzen Sarutobi's face.
He secretly breathed a sigh of relief, it worked.
Seeing this.
The chat room fell silent.
Senju Tobirama: It's a pity, this child, how good it would have been if he had been born in the era when I was still Hokage.
Uchiha Izuna: Hehe, and then he would have been entrapped and killed by your four disciples.
Senju Tobirama: ...I'm so angry!
But why can't I think of a reason to refute?
Senju Tobirama's coffin lid was shaking.
Sakura Haruno: "So smart. If it were Shikamaru... he would probably be like this too, right?"
Ino Yamanaka: "Heh, it seems Shikamaru has a pretty good image in your heart."
Ino Yamanaka: "If the roles were reversed... you would now see a Naruto lying at home, freeloading and waiting to die."
Ino Yamanaka: "That guy is too lazy to think that much. Knowing that the Anbu and the Old Man won't let him die easily, he'll definitely stay at home. Going out to the street is too troublesome; lying down is the most comfortable."
Nara Shikamaru: "Hey, hey, hey, Ino, you've gone too far!"
Akimichi Choji: "I think Ino's pretty accurate... well, just kidding."
Sakura's mouth twitched.
Then, Sasuke's image appeared in her mind.
'If Sasuke and Naruto's roles were reversed...'
'No, impossible. How could there be such an unreliable dead last Uchiha?'
A moment later.
Hiruzen Sarutobi slowly stood up.
"Very good, keep it up."
Hiruzen Sarutobi smiled and left little Naruto's house.
He said he was going to continue his work of protecting the Village.
Little Naruto's eyes lit up, and he quickly waved goodbye, promising that he would also continue to work hard.
Hearing this, Hiruzen Sarutobi's smile was radiant.
He even forgot to 'remind' little Naruto to cut his hair short.
