Hiruzen Sarutobi's Refusal
He spent another two hours at the best hospital in Konoha. Since his parents Minato Namikaze and Kushina Uzumaki, had been in the hospital, Xuan Ye had not returned home. He had been staying at the hospital with his parents, or playing with his newborn brother Naruto Uzumaki, who would become the future protagonist of Hokage.
Startled by the sound of footsteps outside the door, he became slightly wary, but after thinking about it carefully, he couldn't help but smile wryly.
This is Konoha Village. While the Anbu Ninja in the shadows isn't countless, they can still prevent people from other ninja villages from sneaking in and causing harm to Konoha. Why should I worry about that?
Even if Konoha's Anbu didn't find them, there was still the Third Hokage Hiruzen Sarutobi, that little old man. That guy was a genuine Hokage, a real Kage Level figure. I'm just a ninja with Chunin strength. Even if someone came, I probably wouldn't be able to defeat them. It's not my place to worry about my parents' safety.
The footsteps grew louder, indicating that the person outside was getting closer to the room.
Suddenly, the half-closed door was pushed open, and a small old man with white hair entered. He was holding a pipe in his hand, wearing a white Hokage robe, and his face was covered with wrinkles and his skin was very loose, but his eyes looked very energetic.
If nothing unexpected happens, that old man should be able to live for another twenty or thirty years without any problem.
After the Third Hokage Hiruzen Sarutobi, entered the room, he glanced at Genya Namikaze and said, "Xiao Ye, you've been here all this time! I came to check on your parents."
After speaking, he walked directly to a hospital bed, squinted at Minato Namikaze on the bed, and noticed that although he was still lying in bed, his complexion was much better than a few days ago. This discovery made Sarutobi Hiruzen breathe a sigh of relief.
He shifted his gaze again to Kushina Uzumaki. Her condition was similar to Minato Namikaze's at this moment. Her complexion was also very rosy, but like Minato Namikaze, she was lying in a hospital bed with no sign of waking up.
After watching the Third Hokage Hiruzen Sarutobi for a while, his expression also turned sour. He thought to himself, "Didn't that medical ninja say a few days ago that Minato Namikaze and Kushina would wake up soon? Why haven't they woken up yet after so many days?"
After thinking for a while, he stopped thinking about it and shouted loudly, "Medical ninja, where is the medical ninja?"
This ninja hospital was already prepared to respond to any call from the Third Hokage, and as soon as they heard the Third Hokage's call from inside the room, a medical ninja in a white coat immediately went in.
This medical ninja is the most skilled doctor in this hospital, and he is responsible for treating Minato Namikaze and Kushina Uzumaki.
"Greetings, Third Hokage. I am a medical ninja who specializes in treating the Fourth Hokage and Fourth Hokage wife. Please feel free to ask me anything." Although the medical ninja was somewhat nervous and dared not meet the Third Hokage's gaze, he still had to say these polite words.
"Didn't you say a few days ago that Minato Namikaze and Kushina would wake up in the next few days? Why is there still no sign of them waking up, not even the slightest sign?"
Sarutobi Hiruzen's voice wasn't loud, but his aura was incredibly strong. Faced with such immense pressure, the medical ninja in front of him almost collapsed to his knees.
Hearing the Third Hokage Hiruzen Sarutobi's question, the medical ninja's fear intensified. A few days ago, he had confidently told the Third Hokage that the Fourth Hokage his wife would wake up in a few days.
However, there was still no sign of him waking up, which terrified the medical ninja. He was constantly worried that the Third Hokage would come to the hospital to check on him, but no matter what, the Third Hokage did come.
Faced with the Third Hokage standing before him and the immense pressure emanating from his body, the medical ninja dared not raise his head to look into the Third Hokage's eyes, keeping his head down instead.
After hesitating for a moment, the medical ninja decided to reveal what he had discovered. "The Third Hokage and the Fourth Hokage and his wife have almost fully recovered and are basically free of any other problems."
"But they just can't wake up. All the medical ninjas in our hospital have discussed it, but we don't know how to wake up the Fourth Hokage and his wife. So, it's up to the Fourth Hokage and his wife to wake up."
After hearing the medical ninja's words, Sarutobi Hiruzen's expression grew increasingly grim. "Alright, alright, Minato Namikaze and Kushina's treatment continues. If they wake up, send someone to let me know. Okay, you can go now!"
After the Third Hokage Hiruzen Sarutobi, spoke, the medical ninja seemed to be reborn and quickly left the ward, as if there was something terrifying in the ward.
Sarutobi Hiruzen stood there stunned for a moment, looking at Minato Namikaze, Kushina Uzumaki, and the newborn Naruto Uzumaki in the room.
After a long while, she slowly spoke to Xuan Ye, "Xiao Ye, don't be too sad. Although your parents can't wake up for the time being, I believe they will wake up eventually."
"They will definitely wake up, you don't even need to tell me that, but for them to really wake up, it still depends on me. My parents will only wake up when my chakra level reaches Kage Level."
That's what he was thinking, but he still wore a sad expression on his face. He looked at the Third Hokage standing in front of him and said, "Old man, since my parents won't wake up for the time being, could you please take care of my younger brother Naruto?"
"I'll take care of him? That makes sense. You're only six years old, Xiao Ye. You don't have the ability to take care of Naruto." After hearing Xuan Ye's words, the Third Hokage was initially stunned, but after thinking about it, he wasn't so surprised anymore.
"No, actually, I want to leave Konoha Village and gain some experience. Once I feel my strength is satisfactory, I will come back," Xuan Ye said immediately.
"What! Xiao Ye wants to leave Konoha Village to train?" Her previously composed mind was thrown into chaos again.
Sarutobi Hiruzen Zhan never expected that Genya Namikaze would want to leave the ninja village to train when he was only six years old. But what if Xiao Ye gets into danger after leaving the ninja village? How would he explain it to Minato Namikaze?
"No! You can't go out now." Sarutobi Hiruzen the old man refused without hesitation.
"Why?" Xuan Ye's question was concise and clear, and he immediately spoke up after hearing Sarutobi Hiruzen's objection.
