Naruto: Getting Stronger by Drinking

By coincidence, Naruto and Sasuke were fast asleep at the moment, their little faces rosy and looking utterly adorable.

"This debt is easy enough to repay."

A smile appeared on Hiruzen Sarutobi's face.

Compared to working himself to the bone for Yuu for two years, taking care of some children for a while was practically effortless!

Once Jiraiya and Orochimaru recovered from their injuries, he would be able to step down anyway.

"Ahh—"

At that moment, Sasuke suddenly yawned in his sleep. Hiruzen Sarutobi's nose twitched, and he frowned slightly.

"Hmm? Why does it smell like alcohol?"

Hiruzen Sarutobi wondered in confusion.

He knew that Yuu had given Naruto alcohol to prove Naruto's uniqueness.

As for what happened afterward, Hiruzen Sarutobi had no idea.

He had a mountain of matters weighing on him now and practically wished he could live in the Hokage's Office every day. How could he have the time to pay attention to the lives of two babies?

"Maybe they picked it up from being around Yuu."

After a moment, Hiruzen Sarutobi relaxed his brow and thought to himself.

He knew Naruto and Sasuke had spent a week at Yuu's residence receiving instruction from Jiraiya and Orochimaru.

That made it less strange. After all, Yuu drank from morning until night, so it was only natural for them to pick up a little alcohol scent.

"Let's go home with Grandpa."

A hint of gentleness entered Hiruzen Sarutobi's gaze as he carried Naruto and Sasuke home.

Naruto was the child of Minato Namikaze, a direct descendant of the Hokage faction.

Sasuke was the son of the head of the newly reborn Uchiha Clan.

On top of that, even Yuu had praised Naruto and Sasuke for being extraordinary. These two children were destined for boundless futures.

They were Konoha's future,
