Chapter 16 Going to School
"Naruto, can you introduce your friend to Grandpa?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen put the festive snacks he had brought into the refrigerator, and as if he was at home, he skillfully pulled out the chair and sat down, looking like an old man who was tired after walking for a long time and wanted to sit for a while longer.

It's easy to elicit sympathy.

Coming to Naruto's house in the New Year was what he had planned long ago.

Firstly, his son and eldest grandson were not around, so he was considered a half-widowed old man, and he really needed the company of his children.

Secondly, doing so will make Naruto, who is Jinchuriki, rely on him and trust him more.

If the two children hadn't suddenly mentioned Kyuubi, he would have followed the original plan and waited until the night when the fireworks were set off and Naruto was extremely lonely and lonely, and then he would suddenly appear to give Naruto a big surprise.

In this way, Naruto's feelings for him are considered strong.In Naruto's heart, Hiruzaru Sarutobi will always be the one who saves him from darkness and loneliness.

In the event of an unexpected runaway tailed beast in the future, he can also rely on this strong "bond" cultivated since childhood to awaken the humanity in Naruto's heart and avoid the worst situation from happening.

But he had calculated thousands of times, but he did not expect that Uchiha Fugaku's youngest son would start to remember things at the age of less than three months.In order to prevent the two children from irritating Naruto by continuing this topic, he had no choice but to send the shadow clone over early.

In addition to guiding the topic to bypass Kyuubi, he also wants to see the nature of this precocious child, and whether he can become a ninja who agrees with the will of fire like Uchiha mirror or Shisui.

Of course, the most important thing is to determine whether Giyu's approach to Naruto was due to someone else's intentional guidance.

He narrowed his eyes into the crescent shape that a kind grandfather should have, and looked at Yi Yong with a smile, thinking that this would make the other party let go of his guard.

However, the elders that Giyuu is used to are the strict type like Mr. Ryotaki, plus it is difficult for him to recognize the expression, all the superficial work that Sarutobi Hiruzaru did was like throwing stones into the sea, without causing any waves.

Giyuu's only impression of Hiruzaru Sarutobi was that the old man looked familiar.

[The shape of this beard, I always feel like I have seen it before...]

"Grandpa, he is Uchiha Yoshiyuki, and he gave me the mask before."

After Naruto finished speaking, he turned to Giyuu happily, "This old man is very nice. He has only visited me since I lived here."

In Naruto's eyes, these two people in front of him are the rare warmth in his short life.

"But the old man always said that he did Hokage, so he must be bragging. Hokage is the strongest person in the village, how could he look so lacklustre? You're right, Giyuu."

Naruto Uzumaki waited for Giyuu to agree with a smile.

But the latter suddenly realized.

[No wonder it looks so familiar. 】

"You are indeed the Third Hokage."

He said directly, "The third statue on Huoying Rock is very similar to you."

"Eh?!"

Now it was Naruto's turn to be surprised.

He ran up to Hiruzaru Sarutobi and kept staring closely, the pupils in his beautiful blue eyes narrowed into a lovely circle, with the word doubt written all over it.

"real or fake?!

"But the third Hokage on Shadow Rock is obviously fierce! It's completely different from you."

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

Hiruzaru Sarutobi clenched his fist and coughed, but his attention was on Giyuu who was expressionless.

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

In the past two years, another ninja named Uchiha Yanhuo publicly said that he was old, weak and fatuous in Yakiniku Q, which reflected Uchiha's attitude towards him to a certain extent.

From Uchiha Yoshiyuki's mouth, can you know what the patriarch Fuyue thinks of him and the village?

He smiled kindly and looked at Yiyong.

"Is your name Giyuu? I remember you should be the child of Fuyue and Mikoto, right?"

"Yes." Yi Yong nodded.

It was the first time he saw Hokage with his own eyes.

In his understanding, Hokage is the strongest person in the village, which is equivalent to the existence of Yanzhu Beimingyu Xingming in the Ghost Killing Squad.

But is this short old man in front of him really so powerful?
"It really is you. Your deceased grandfather and I are old friends. I also watched your father grow up. If you don't mind, 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 mentioned me as an old man to you, right?"

Kakashi rolled his eyes outside the window.

Shisui told him that Uchiha Yoshiyuki never lied. It seems that the three generations of adults should be able to tell a lot of words today.

But no one could have imagined that Yiyong's answer was surprisingly short.

"mentioned."

Then there is no more text.

It's like someone just showed you a delicious meal, but then took it away without waiting for you to get close.

Sarutobi Hiyazaki: "..."

【When this kid talked to Naruto about the expired milk just now, he was still very good at talking. 】

[Or, because of the influence of his family, he doesn't trust me at all? 】

Although somewhat frustrated, Sarutobi Hiruzen didn't show it on his face. Instead, he asked cheekily: "Yiyu, don't you hate grandpa a little bit? Can you tell grandpa why? Is it something that grandpa didn't do well?"

He seems to really please the children, but this is actually another way of asking questions to test the attitude of Fuyue's family towards him.

Naruto suddenly tensed up.

He didn't want to see conflict between two people in his life who rarely treated him well, especially if one of them was Hokage.

"I don't hate you."

Giyu's standard grammar appeared again, and Kakashi outside the window seemed to have returned to that day.

"I just want to know, aren't all the orphans in the village raised in the orphanage until they are nine years old? Why does Naruto live here alone?"

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

Hiruzaru Sarutobi's smile froze.

This is a development he didn't expect, Yoshiyuki would actually stand in Naruto's position and ask him a question.This is very unusual for Uchiha.

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

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

【In that case, at least I won’t be alone. 】

"Um……"

Sarutobi's embarrassment was fleeting.

He can even deal with the entanglement of the Hokage consultant, so how could he be stumped by the two children.

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

Hiruzaru Sarutobi paused, "In addition, the orphans of ninjas in the village will become ninjas in the future. In order to train their self-care ability, we decided to let them live alone since childhood. Not only Naruto, but also orphans of ninjas in the village. That’s how they all grew up.”

Hearing the word "parents", Naruto's mood was a little low, Sarutobi Hiruzen also felt a little guilty, but it didn't affect his decision-making as Hokage.

"What about the milk?"

Yoshihiro asked further.Although he didn't mean to question, but with his cold face, he looked a little aggressive.

"Naruto said that you often come to see him. Didn't you notice that he has been drinking expired milk? Why are the people in the village unwilling to sell him?"

【It's all Danzo's fault. 】

Sarutobi Hiruza really wanted to blurt out.

But to be honest, he acquiesced in Danzo's plan to isolate the villagers from Naruto.

"It was indeed an oversight on my part."

Hiruzaru Sarutobi showed a shameful expression, both true and false, "I am usually very busy with work, and I rarely come to see Naruto once, but I didn't find these problems. This is all my negligence. Thanks to you, Giyuu, if It would be great if all the children in the village were as careful as you."

He first praised his bravery, 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 live so hard..."

Sure enough, as Sarutobi Hiruzen expected.

Naruto, who was used to flattering him, was taken aback, and said repeatedly: "It's okay! Anyway, I'm in good health, I just have diarrhea occasionally, it's not a big problem hahaha."

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

Hiruzaru Sarutobi made a promise.

"really?"

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

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

With a few words, he first avoided the key question of "why the villagers don't sell things to Naruto", and then used a sincere apology to arouse Naruto's guilt, and finally solved the problem directly and let Naruto treat him The degree of favorability and dependence on him soared on the spot.

But from the beginning to the end, he did not answer the question of why the villagers treated Naruto differently, and easily bypassed it...

If Kakashi were Hokage, he would have made excuses and left on the spot.

On the other hand, when Giyuu heard that Naruto would be able to go shopping by himself in the future, he felt that the plan to make him healthy was easier, and his stern expression unconsciously relaxed.

This scene fell into the eyes of Sarutobi Hiruzen, making him sure of one thing, that is——

This child really cares about Naruto.

To be able to stand in the position of a stranger who has just met, and argue with him, Hokage.

Based on this alone, Giyuu is quite different from most narrow-minded Uchihas.

As long as he is properly guided, he can also become a ninja like Jing and Shisui, who regards 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 become a ninja... But Fuyue probably won't allow this kind of thing, and the speed that this kid showed before is also proof. 】

The third generation was active in their minds, and chatted with Naruto for a few words, and gradually led the topic to another topic: "By the way, Naruto, grandpa will bring you some books tomorrow. In March next year, you will I'm going to the ninja school, so I have to prepare well before I can keep up with other people's progress."

As he said that, he smiled cunningly, "If Naruto studies hard and his entrance grades are still satisfactory, I will tell the teacher of Ninja School to put you and Giyuu in the same class. Become a tablemate."

"Does talking count?"

"Of course." The old man nodded as if he had succeeded in plotting.

Before, he was not sure how to persuade Naruto, who was always bullied by his peers, to go to school, but now he has.From now on, it is enough to make sure Giyuu will also go to school.

With the character of this child who can easily stand in the position of others, if he becomes friends with many children in the village, he will definitely not give up on the Uchiha clan.

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

[At that time, we will be able to investigate and make preparations in time for any movements in the Uchiha clan and Fuyue's attitude. 】

Sure enough, when Naruto thought of someone he knew in the same class as Ninja School, two long breaths came out of his nose, "I, Uzumaki Naruto, will definitely work hard!"

After finishing the declaration, he turned around abruptly and grabbed Yiyong's hand, "I will definitely be in the same class as you, Yiyong!
"At that time, will you be at the same table with me?"

The pressure came to Giyuu.

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

Itachi also persuaded him to go to the ninja school to attend classes during this period, but Giyuu knew very well that although the resolution of the breath of flame has been finished, the most convenient place to increase the resolution of the breath of the moon is still the Uchiha clan.

Going to school wastes a lot of time, he might as well get along with those tribesmen who are open-eyed.

In addition, Itachi graduated from the ninja school at the age of seven, and the source of his Uchiha Yoshiyuki's power is not ninjutsu, and studying there will not make him stronger.

The key is--

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

He made up his mind and pulled his hand out of Naruto Uzumaki's hand, and the bright eyes of the latter gradually dimmed visible to the naked eye.

"why?"

He asked unwillingly, "Everyone in the village, don't they all want to be ninjas?"

Giyuu took the initiative to avoid his sight.

Instead, Hiruzaru Sarutobi smiled as expected, "I understand, it's Giyuu who doesn't want to hurt others, right?"

Giyuu raised his head unexpectedly and glanced at Sandai Hokage, which also made the latter affirm the rumors he had heard before.

【Such a soft-hearted Uchiha is really rare...】

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

"It doesn't matter, let the children in the village go to ninja school, just to keep them from being too lonely, to learn some knowledge by the way, and to understand the world."

The Third Hokage said slowly: "It doesn't mean that you have to become a ninja after entering the ninja school. If you have any concerns, just don't take the exam.

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

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

Hearing Sasuke's name, Giyuu hesitated for a moment, but immediately made up his mind.

If there was no target for the Resurrection Pillar, maybe he just nodded because of his soft heart.But now, he still has more important tasks, and he really can't "waste his time" in the ninja school.

Just when he was about to reject the third generation's proposal to invite him to school again, a familiar voice suddenly sounded.

[Get close to Uzumaki Naruto for 1 hour, and the resolution of the day's breath will be +0.005%. 】

"?"

Yiyong was stunned for a moment, his gaze swirled around Naruto Uzumaki's face.

In the past few months, this is the first time he has brushed out the resolution of Sun's Breath, and the number is still so large!

This means that Naruto has a very high-quality yang chakra (Nine Tails: ...)!

[Enlightenment to the Breath of the Sun is the condition for resurrecting Ganlu Temple.Although going to school, the analysis of Moon Breath will slow down, but it can still increase steadily... But if you miss Naruto, then you will find a reason to spend a long time together in the future, which will be troublesome. 】

"Lord Hokage."

Giyuu suddenly used the honorific title, "How long do the students have to stay at the ninja school every day?"

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

Hiruzaru Sarutobi was a little strange, how could Giyuu ask this kind of question that the Nara family likes to ask most.

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

After hearing this number, Giyuu made a calculation in his head, and finally nodded in the expectant eyes of Naruto Uzumaki.

"Then I am willing to go to Ninja School."
