I, Giyuu Uchiha, am not hated!

"Hokage-sama, the treatment is over."

The vice president in a white coat walked out of the ward, his tone a little tired.

Kakashi was familiar with that tone, and as soon as he heard it, he knew that a difficult exchange had just taken place.

The deputy dean took off his mask, revealing the face of a middle-aged woman wearing thick glasses.

"Naruto Uzumaki's body has a strong ability to heal itself, and new skin has grown on his hands. Because the wound was treated well before, there was no foreign matter left, so there was no need to re-operate and clean it.

"But because 'that' power suddenly flooded his body, the cells in his body were somewhat worn out, and he will be weak for a period of time. Take a good rest and recuperate his body, and he will regain his vitality in about three or four days."

Judging from her words, she only knew that there was a tailed beast inside Naruto.

Having said this, the dean adjusted his glasses and gave advice from experts.

"But having said that, although the child has a good foundation, his physical development rate is slower than that of his peers. He should be allowed to eat more nutritious food. Otherwise, he will have no advantage after arriving at the ninja school. In other words, being at a disadvantage among his peers for a long time is not conducive to his emotional stability.”

"Oh, I see."

The third generation lowered his head slightly, hiding his expression under the Hokage's hat, but he had no intention of expressing his stance at all.

"Where's the other kid?"

"It's a coincidence. I personally delivered the Uchiha twins back then, but I haven't seen them since, until today."

The vice-president showed a soft smile, "That child is different from Sasuke. He never cries or laughs since he was born. At that time, we thought he was here..."

She pointed to her head.

"There may have been some hidden dangers. But now it seems that's not the case, which is a huge relief."

[Is that expression innate? 】

Kakashi groaned inwardly.

The vice president continued: "As for the injury, he was lucky. The giant millipede's blood burned through his epidermis and dermis, but miraculously avoided the blood vessels, saving a lot of trouble for subsequent treatment.

“I originally planned to apply some medication and bandage it, but the kid was adamant about a quicker recovery.

"So I used palm magic to slightly stimulate his self-healing ability. His left hand should be completely healed by tomorrow at most."

Then, her brows suddenly knitted together, "I really don't know what kind of person can be so cruel to a child..."

"Ahem! The village is already investigating this matter."

[You may not believe it if you tell me. He did it himself. 】

Sandai coughed twice: "I would like to ask, does this child Yiyong...can't feel pain?"

Judging from Yiyong's coffin-like expression after being injured, it's hard not to think of this possibility.

Since the ninja world was recorded, ninjas who have no sense of pain are all extremely cruel and uncontrollable existences.

These people cannot feel pain themselves, so it is difficult for them to understand how others feel when they are hurt. Naturally, they cannot talk about sympathy and compassion.

They dismantle a person's body as naturally and easily as an ordinary child dismantles a clock. They are not only a hidden danger to the enemy, but also to their own people...

If Uchiha Giyuu is really such a child, it means that all the feelings he shows towards Naruto are all fake and manipulated.

Although combined with Yiyong's performance and other rumors related to him, the third generation feels that this is unlikely.

How many children can have their hands burned through by corrosive liquid without changing their expressions?

He had to be sure.

“When we examined him, we found no problem with his tactile nerve conduction.

"And he also showed a flight response to pain when he was a baby, so you don't have to worry about that."

The vice-dean shook his head, "Besides, this child should be in great pain after suffering such an injury. It's just like when he was a child, he can't show it through his emotions, or he doesn't want to show it in front of his friends. come out.

"In addition, this child's physical fitness is very good, and he must have gone through quite strenuous exercise. Maybe this level of pain is nothing to him anymore..."

"so."

The third generation nodded in relief, "Thank you very much."

[That is a very strong-willed child. 】

There was a flash of appreciation in his eyes.

"You're welcome. This is my job. If there's nothing else, I'll get started."

"good."

After the vice-principal turned the corner, the third generation took Kakashi to the window at the end of the corridor, took off his bamboo hat, and slowly rubbed his gray hair from his forehead to the back of his head with a pair of old hands. Still trembling slightly.

"Kakashi, you did the right thing this time."

After a long time, the third generation turned his back to Kakashi and said, "If you hadn't sent a clone to find me at the root in time, the conflict between the village and Uchiha would have intensified again."

Mito Kadoen, who is responsible for the jounin assessment, has said it several times about what Uchiha Enhuo's temper is like.

It was an explosive package that declared that one person would challenge all participants in the assessment.

If he was angry and used any powerful illusion on the shop owner who didn't even have chakra, the damage to the latter's spirit would be irreversible.

At that time, as Hokage, he would have to deal with this matter publicly and stand on the opposite side of the Uchiha clan.

Even if Uchiha did not initiate this incident, the consequences would not be any different.

Not to mention, Danzo will definitely fan the flames and make a big fuss out of this matter.

Hearing what the Sandai said, Kakashi immediately lowered his head and apologized: "I was negligent. When the child proposed to take Naruto to return the goods, I should have stopped him-"

Before he finished speaking, the third generation turned around, with the unique depth of an elderly person in power, a little scary and a little helpless.

"Do you really think so?"

"I do not know what you mean."

"Aren't you thinking, 'If the old man had made it clearer when he gave the orders to the businessmen last time, this wouldn't have happened', aren't you?"

"..."

"well."

The third generation placed his hands on both sides of the window sill and sighed.

"You are Minato's disciple, and you are the closest person to Naruto. I can tell you some things."

A trace of guilt flashed in the third generation's eyes, but it was immediately replaced by the determination of being Hokage.

"Those people will find loopholes in my orders. Of course I know this. I even guessed that they would do this."

Kakashi said nothing, but through his masked eyes, there was no surprise at all.

How could the Hokage not think of things that he could think of.

But he didn't understand what the point of torturing Naruto like this was.

"I also watched Minato and Kushina grow up, and Naruto was delivered by my late wife herself. How could I bear the heart to let that child suffer under my eyes. If I were not the Hokage, I would definitely treat myself like Treat him like your own grandson and raise him with every possible care...

"But as a shadow——"

The old man's tone suddenly worsened, and the strong voice of his youth burst out from his lips and teeth.

"I have to prioritize Naruto's identity as a Jinchuuriki and put the safety of the entire Konoha first.

"The Kyuubi inside Naruto is the most evil and powerful one among the nine tailed beasts. Even the sealing techniques of Minato and Kushina cannot ensure that the Kyuubi can be trapped honestly. Inside Naruto.

"Therefore, before Naruto completely stabilizes his emotions, every time he is stronger and healthier, the damage he may cause when the Nine-Tails chakra is leaked will be doubled. I believe you have also heard that You should understand what I mean about the jinchūriki going berserk in other villages..."

Kakashi nodded silently.

Jinchuuriki are all time bombs, this is not just talk.

"Now that I'm old and decrepit, I can't be as calm as Raikage, and I don't have the confidence like Minato and Kushina to die with Kyuubi, so I have to take this strategy. But I don't regret it..."

There was a terrifying edge in his eyes.

"Because as long as it is known that Naruto caused serious casualties due to the leakage of Nine-Tails Chakra, Danzo will find a reason and work with other advisors to force me to hand over Naruto and use his truly shady methods to kill Naruto. To turn a man into a numb war puppet to realize his unrealistic but paranoid ambitions is what I really don’t want to see.”

"I don't understand, since you think it's necessary to keep Naruto weak."

Kakashi held back his displeasure and asked doubtfully: "Then why did you agree to the child's request in front of those merchants today?"

The Third Hokage turned his head and smiled meaningfully.

"Let me ask you, what was the reason for the last time Naruto suspected that the tailed beast's chakra leaked (actually it didn't)?"

"It's the Hyuga family's daughter who is being bullied."

"What about this time?"

"...When those people scolded him, they also scolded Uchiha Giyuu."

"Then before, when Naruto himself suffered injustice and endured loneliness, was there ever such a situation?"

"……No."

"This already explains some problems."

The third generation concluded, "No matter how evil the Nine-Tails in Naruto is, he is a good boy and has never had any ill will towards the villagers who ignored and hated them because of his situation.

"The most egregious thing he ever did was scrawling on other people's doors with paint in the summer. This kind of behavior can hardly be called revenge, but more like trying to attract other people's attention."

"Is such that."

Kakashi nodded.

"But the situation changed when his friends encountered what he had experienced. This shows that he is a child who only desires power when it is to protect important people."

The third generation paused and touched the back of his left hand pointedly, "On the other hand, Uchiha Giyuu, after sensing Naruto's difficulty, did not hesitate to make sacrifices to prove that Naruto was not lying. This shows that he Same idea.

"So, instead of letting Naruto continue his previous life, causing Uchiha Giyu to take risks for him again, causing the tailed beast chakra to leak and even the conflict between the village and Uchiha, it is better to let the goodwill between the two children form a solid foundation. "

"Having someone who truly cares about Naruto, rather than someone with complicated purposes and moods like me, by his side can help him gradually stabilize.

"At the beginning, the village did not agree with Minato and Kushina getting too close, but I still 'went my own way' to suppress their objections. But the facts have proved that it was the right choice, and I believe this time will not be an exception."

"After all, I believe in the will and strength of young people..."

The old man turned around and said, "This is the core of the Will of Fire.

"But the only hidden danger at present is not Naruto, but whether the child of Uchiha Giyuu will become a way for some Uchiha people to get close to Naruto in the future, so... Kakashi!"

"yes."

Kakashi knelt down on one knee.

When the Hokage suddenly spoke in this tone, it meant he had a task to answer.

"You will take care of Naruto for two more months and then return to ANBU to continue being your captain."

The third generation looked through the window and looked at the location of the "root". "After a few more assassination missions, Uchiha Itachi will enter the Hokage's direct subordinates through Danzo (in TV, Danzo said that he introduced Itachi to ANBU). ANBU. You are Obito's friend and you have the Sharingan. It is easier for you and Uchiha Itachi to have common topics than other members.

"I need you to guide him, but also to examine him and figure out his tendency towards the village and Uchiha's attitude. You must do this. I hope you can understand."

"yes."

Kakashi then asked: "Naruto's side..."

"When he goes to school, he won't need to be protected alone during the day. I'll find him a teacher he can absolutely trust."

Sandai said calmly, "Tenzo will take care of him from time to time at night, so you can rest assured."

【really……】

Kakashi twitched the corner of his mouth, [He said he trusted, but in the end he sent a ninja who knew how to escape to 'take care' of Naruto? 】

"Okay, now let's go see how these two little wounded are recovering, right?"

The third generation crossed the corridor with a kind smile and opened the door of the ward.

…

By the time Naruto and Giyuu came out of the hospital, it was already past three in the afternoon.

During this period, the parents of the children who maliciously added the blood of giant millipedes into the detergent also came to them one after another with their crying or bruised and swollen children to apologize.

The mastermind, a fifth-grade child, was fired on the spot by the Third Hokage; the remaining accomplices were suspended from school for three years and worked voluntarily at Konoha Hospital before returning to school.

Uzumaki Naruto was a little soft-hearted and wanted to forgive them, but when he turned around and saw Giyuu's expression, he said nothing.

In the end, each of them received a compensation of 50,000 taels (purchasing power equal to approximately 30,000 yuan), excluding medical expenses.

After leaving the hospital, Giyuu took Naruto straight to the stores where he was still a little scared. He began to teach him step by step how to choose fresh vegetables and meat, and then bought a series of basic seasonings such as soy sauce, miso, vinegar, and A pan for frying eggs.

After returning to Naruto's house, the previously damaged door had been replaced by someone sent by the Third Generation.

Giyuu took out the copy of the recipe from his pocket and handed it to Naruto: "Find an easy recipe from the first ten pages and I will teach you how to make it."

""Minato-sensei's Secret Recipe"?"

Naruto read out the words on the cover.

Except for the signature "Uchiha Obito" on the last page of this recipe, it is really difficult to imitate the charm of it. Giyuu has retained the other parts, which can be regarded as doing his part to protect the copyright.

Naruto opened the menu and browsed quickly, finally finding a familiar dish name.

"this one--"

He excitedly pointed it out to Giyong, "'Ten times the heart flying swirl omelette rice.' The name suits me very well."

"Then let's take this."

Yiyong nodded, "Now, let me teach you how to steam rice..."

At this point, Uzumaki Naruto's nutritional problem has been basically solved. Only a month or two later, Giyuu can pick the fruits of victory (referring to shiny hair).

But what Yiyong didn't know was that the life of a person he knew very well had also entered a countdown.
