Chapter 26
Looking at Uzumaki Naruto who was showing an ecstatic expression, Jiraiya smiled helplessly, stretched out his big hand, and rubbed the latter's head.
"But if you want to learn this move, you have to endure a lot of hardships. The difficulty is even higher than the summoning technique."
Hearing this, Naruto wiped his nose with his hand and said:"I will definitely learn the ninjutsu of the Fourth Hokage. It will be hard, but I am not afraid.!"
"Ambitious!" Jiraiya said with a proud smile, his face full of satisfaction. He liked young people like Naruto who were full of enthusiasm.
Rather than those so-called geniuses...
""Swoosh!"
At this moment, a figure appeared in front of the two of them, wearing a fox mask and an Anbu uniform.
It was a...Anbu ninja under the command of the Third-generation Sarutobi Hiruzen!
"Lord Jiraiya, Uzumaki Naruto, this way please.."
Jiraiya glanced at the latter, his expression unchanged. He naturally knew where the other party's Anbu was. Then he waved his hand......
In the Hokage's office,
Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at the portraits on the wall, especially the fourth one, which was a portrait of a handsome man, the Fourth Hokage, Namikaze Minato
""Will you hate me for what I have done?" he muttered to himself.
"Sandaime..he is Naruto..he is the child of me and Minato..."
In a trance, the words entrusted by Kushina and Minato that night were still lingering in my ears...
"Has it been twelve years?.."
Bang!
Just as Hiruzen was feeling disappointed, the door to the Hokage's office was kicked open, and then a man with an old man in his right eye slowly approached.
The Darkness of Konoha, the man who controls the Root, Shimura Danzo!
"It's the same old problem again. Didn't I tell you before that you should knock on the door when you come in?" Sarutobi Hiruzen glanced at him and said calmly.
"It's been a habit for more than ten years, and I can't change it."Danzo said casually.
The two of them fell silent, and the office was silent...
"Hiruzen, you saw the video, right? You know why I came here."Danzo stared at Hiruzen for a moment and said bluntly
"Naruto.."
"That's right, the Nine-Tails Jinchūriki doesn't need too much emotion. If you hand him over to the Root, I will definitely turn him into a true perfect Jinchūriki!" said Danzo.
Sarutobi Hiruzen was silent for a moment, and said in a deep voice:"Don't think about this matter, I will never hand Naruto over to the Root."
"Hiruzen, you should know how important the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki is to the village. Your gentle approach will not work on him at all....."
Sarutobi Hiruzen interrupted immediately and said sternly:"Shut up, Danzo, you have to understand that now, I am the Hokage.!"
"You will regret this, Hiruzen!"
Hearing this, Danzo snorted coldly, then slammed the door and walked out!
After Danzo left, the office fell into silence again...
""Swoosh!"
Outside the window, it was Jiraiya and Naruto who came to the office in an instant...
""Grandfather Sandaime!"
Naruto looked at the old man and shouted first.
Hiruzen's expression also relaxed and became peaceful again. The fierceness just now disappeared instantly.
"Little guy, you did a good job!"He smiled, very pleased. He also saw the scenes in the video.
He was both pleased and amazed at the latter's strength.
"Old man, you are becoming more and more worried."Jiraiya seemed to sense a trace of Danzo's remaining chakra, then looked at Hiruzen and said
"You guys have been gone for more than ten years, and now you are trying to comfort me?" Hiruzen seemed to have a hint of reproach in his words.
"Leaving an old man like me to guard Konoha alone, while you guys are still having fun outside and don't even know how to stay and help me."
"Hehe, you know, I can't get away from it because of some things."Jiraiya laughed
"Looking for your so-called child of prophecy?"
Hearing this, Jiraiya was rarely silent.
"Child of prophecy? What is the child of prophecy?"
Naruto leaned over, looking confused. What on earth are they talking about? He couldn't understand.
"Lecherous Sage, how long will it take you to teach me that powerful ninjutsu?"
""You idiot, why are you so impatient? Go play!" Speechless, Jiraiya urged, and directly drove Naruto out of the office.
Seeing this, Naruto snorted in dissatisfaction, then left the Hokage office building and headed straight for the Konoha Hospital.
He wanted to give the healing potion rewarded by Tianmu to Thick Eyebrows to see if it would be effective for his injuries.
Oh, by the way, there is also Hinata. Her injuries were also quite serious at the time. It is said that she is still recovering at home. Well, I must go and see her.
From the window, Naruto's figure could be seen getting farther and farther away. Jiraiya looked melancholy and said in a light voice:"Old man, you have gone a bit too far over the years."
"well.."
Hearing this, Sarutobi Hiruzen just sighed and instantly looked much older.
"I feel guilty towards them, but this is a fact that cannot be changed."He said calmly.....
Konoha Hospital
Naruto took a few detours and finally arrived at Konoha Hospital.
It was quite far, and he ran into Shikamaru when he entered. The two discussed for a moment and then walked towards Xiao Li's ward.
"Thick eyebrows, we are here to see you!"
That was Naruto and Shikamaru. After asking about the location of Xiao Li's ward, they went straight there. The former pushed the door open first and shouted
"Is it Naruto-kun, and Shikamaru-kun?"Xiao Li, who was about to get out of bed to do rehabilitation exercises, was slightly startled, and then said in surprise
"Hey, how is your injury? Thick eyebrows?" Naruto stepped forward, looked at Xiao Li, and laughed.
"Still the same."Hearing this, Xiao Li's face turned bitter.
"After suffering such an injury, it would be impossible to fully recover in such a short time..."Shikamaru glanced at the other party and then continued:
"Xiao Li, your leg is injured..."
Xiao Li's pretty face was gloomy and bitter. At that time, she opened the five gates in anger, which had already damaged her foundation. Adding to the impact of Gaara's sand, she has not yet found a cure.
And Teacher Kai is now seeking medical treatment in various places in Konoha and has not returned yet...
"Hey, I have something here that may be able to cure thick eyebrows!"Naruto pretended to be mysterious and smiled.
Hearing this, the two looked at each other in surprise. Because the sky curtain reward had not been announced, they did not know that the other party had received the reward.
""Look, that's it!"
Naruto took out a bottle of emerald green potion from his arms, placed it in front of the other party, and explained:"This is the reward that Tianmu gave me before. It's something... um... anyway, it's a magical potion that can cure thick-browed legs. Wow!"
Hearing this, the two were shocked and cast their eyes on the potion in each other's hands. How could there be such a thing in this world?
""Have you tried this thing?" Shikamaru said seriously. Although this thing sounds very tempting, he has never heard of anything in the ninja world that can heal the foundation injury in an instant. Even the princess can't do it!
"Forehead..."Naruto froze for a moment, as if he had never tried it before. He was in a hurry at that time, so he didn't try it.
"Well...why don't you try thick eyebrows? I don't think Tianmu will lie to me." Naruto muttered.
