Naruto just wants to be a god of death

Naruto stared at Sarutobi Hiruzen.

He could clearly feel the inner torment of the old man in front of him.

The look in his eyes gradually cooled.

If I had any doubts about Kyuubi's words before.

Now the statement that "I am the son of the fourth generation" is getting closer to the truth.

"Sorry Naruto, I can't tell you yet." Hiruzen Sarutobi sighed, took a few more puffs from his pipe, and exhaled thick white air, "This is to protect you."

"Your identity is very special and cannot be known to anyone, not even yourself."

"You have talent, grow up quickly."

"When you are strong enough to become a towering tree that protects the village, you will know your father and your mother."

"They are all heroes of Konoha, great heroes of Konoha, just like you."

Naruto was unmoved.

Maybe

In the past, when he heard such words, his blood would boil and he would be filled with passion.

But now, he can hear the "prevarication" between the lines.

"Everyone in the whole village knows that I am a demon fox." Naruto's face was expressionless, and his tone did not waver at all. "And they don't regard me as a hero."

Sarutobi Hiruzen touched Naruto's head.

How was he going to explain this?

Let's just say "Konoha is not monolithic".

Some people, such as myself, hope that Naruto can be a normal child and a normal ninja.

And some people just hope that he only has the brand of "Jinchūriki" on him?

He did not want a ninja who had not grown up and was not "mature" enough to leave a "one-sided" and "dark" impression on the village.

Just then.

The door to the Hokage's office was knocked open.

Iruka burst in, panting.

He immediately noticed the almost substantial solemn atmosphere.

"Hokage-sama! Forgive me!" Without hesitation, Iruka knelt down half-kneeling, gritting his teeth, his voice trembling but firm, "Although today is the graduation assessment, the official class placement will not be until tomorrow."

"Naruto is still my student now."

"I beg you, Hokage-sama, to leave Naruto at my disposal."

"As Naruto's class teacher, any trouble he gets into is because of my improper education."

"I have to bear part of the blame for this."

He spoke slowly and slowly.

His eyes were puzzled.

The Third Hokage's face showed a gentle smile following his words.

The heavy atmosphere also disappeared.

What's going on

Can you still laugh?

Naruto looked at Iruka in surprise.

This teacher who was always strict with him seemed to have misunderstood something.

But it was the knowledge that he had a misunderstanding that made Naruto so "unbelievable".

Pleading for yourself?

Stand up for yourself?

Even willing to take responsibility together?

Is there anyone in Konoha who treats me like this?

"Iruka, Naruto didn't cause trouble this time." The Third Hokage laughed and took the pipe out of his mouth, "He did meritorious service and did something extraordinary."

"Mizuki is not a nice guy."

"It seems that he has been investigated for harming his colleagues before?"

Iruka nodded: "Yes."

Sarutobi Hiruzen continued: "This time Mizuki told Naruto the incident."

"I want to use this to trick Naruto into stealing the Sealed Book."

"But Naruto is a good boy. He didn't give in to the temptation and instead captured Mizuki."

Iruka was surprised.

Did Naruto know the "truth"?

He was not disturbed and saw through Mizuki's conspiracy?

this.

That didn't sound like Naruto's style.

"Naruto is really amazing." Iruka sighed from the bottom of his heart, "Sure enough, he has grown a lot during this time."

He is truly happy for his students' progress.

Sarutobi Hiruzen nodded with satisfaction.

He liked Iruka very much, a young man who was innocent, sincere and loyal to the village.

It's a pity that the talent is not enough, and the chuunin is almost as far as he can grow.

It would be great if Konoha could have more young talents like this.

"Naruto, look." He smiled softly, "There are people like Iruka in the village who really care and love you."

"Don't magnify the filth in front of you, don't let those filthy things cover your heart."

Sarutobi Hiruzen said, walking to the cabinet and rummaging through it.

"Where are you from?"

"Found it."

He took out a giant scroll that was almost half the size of Naruto: "This is the sealed book that Mizuki said."

"He told you that there is a secret about your life experience hidden in it?"

"That's a lie."

Sarutobi Hiruzen shook his hand and opened the scroll.

"Kangdang" fell to the ground at the beginning, and rolled out a long strip, which was full of spelling words that looked dazzling.

"This sealed book records a series of dangerous and taboo ninjutsu that have appeared in Konoha over the years."

"They are very powerful, but when used, they can easily harm the caster himself."

“Only in the hands of the right people can its true power be unleashed.”

"Naruto, I've thought of a jutsu that would suit you well."

"Just think of it as your reward this time."

Sarutobi Hiruzen's hand shook again.

Pulling the scroll back, the ninjutsu recorded in the first place was revealed.

"Multiple Shadow Clone Technique." Looking at the text above, Naruto read it out word by word.

Sarutobi Hiruzen nodded and smiled: "This is an A-level ninjutsu that requires extremely high levels of chakra. It is too dangerous for ordinary people, but for you who have the blood of the Uzumaki clan, it is perfect."

"The village will never forget every hero who has contributed to the village."

Wait for Naruto to read it and make sure he has it all written down.

Only then did Sarutobi Hiruzen put away the sealed book: "Study hard. If there is anything you don't understand, feel free to ask me."

He paused, his tone was kind and his expression was kind: "Naruto, I have always treated you as my grandson."

"Go back."

"Get ready. From tomorrow on, you will be a real ninja."

Naruto wanted to continue the topic just now.

But Sarutobi Hiruzen took him away because "he still had things to do" and Iruka dragged him away.

They just left.

A voice suddenly appeared from the corner: "Hiruzhan, are you really confused? Don't you think about handing over the Jinchūriki to me anymore?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen narrowed his eyes and followed the sound.

He is a man with half his head bound by bandages.

"Danzo, I already regret not stopping you in time from spreading the news that "Naruto is a demon fox" in the village." Sarutobi Hiruzen said softly, "Give up, there is no way I can hand Naruto over to you."

Danzo said coldly: "The Jinchūriki is out of control now!"

"Twice, twice hurt!"

"And the reason why he has changed so much has not been found out yet."

"Maybe the seal is loose."

"You should leave it to me."

Sarutobi Hiruzen's eyes suddenly sharpened, and he shouted and interrupted: "Danzo!"

"Naruto's change is a good thing."

"The reason for hurting people twice is obvious. One is you!"

"The news spread made them reject Naruto."

"Mizuki even used that news to seduce Naruto."

"I'm glad Naruto wasn't affected by your little tricks."

"Naruto will become a great ninja like his father and I won't let you destroy him."

Danzo curled his lips: "Hiruzen, do you really think that the jinchuriki has resisted Mizuki's temptation?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen said nothing.

Danzo walked closer and stood beside him: "You and I are both here for Konoha."

"You have been in the position of Hokage for too long, and you have become naive."

"Since that day, the Jinchuuriki's thoughts have become heavier and heavier."

"After he found out that he was a Jinchuriki, he didn't show much emotion. Maybe he already knew his identity from somewhere, and he may have even been in contact with Kyuubi."

As he spoke, he paused.

Emphasized and meaningful: "In case the seal goes out of control, causing Kyuubi to escape again."

"Or the jinchūriki loses control."

"I will train him well. You know I have always been good at this."

Sarutobi Hiruzen bit his pipe and said firmly: "No more, Danzo."

"I trust Naruto, he is a good boy."

"If it really gets out of control, I will fight with all my strength, even like Minato, I will seal the Nine-Tails again."

"I'm Hokage."

"I have a responsibility to make everyone in the village live a good life."

"That includes Naruto."

"He is not only a Jinchuuriki, but also the son of the Yondaime and a member of the Uzumaki clan."

Danzo narrowed his eyes and stared at Sarutobi Hiruzen, staring at the Sandaime Hokage who was the same age as himself but much older than him: "Hiruzhan, you will regret it."

"Really?" Sarutobi Hiruzen exhaled a puff of smoke and completely covered his face, "I hope I won't see that day."

Danzo stopped talking and retreated with a gloomy expression.

They had different ideas and would always quarrel.

but.

It happens every time.

Hiruzen would always veto his proposals that were more beneficial to the village.

After all, the "shadow" has the greatest power in the village.
