Meanwhile, Valley of the End, on the statue Hashirama.
Gawain clapped his hands.
"Yomotsu Hirasaka."
As the black hole appeared, Gawain made an inviting gesture to the Third Hokage and Kakashi Hatake.
"Let's go back to the village. I'll need your help to arrange a house for me later. I need a place to take care of my two Sun Tzu."
That said, what happened to the Uchiha clan? They just disappeared like that?
It's not surprising that my eldest Sun Tzu has such deep-seated resentment; he's endured pain that most people couldn't bear at such a young age.
Fortunately, Naruto's mentality is still relatively healthy, otherwise you guys would be chatting with Hagoromo in the Pure Land right now, hehe."
As soon as he finished speaking, Gawain pulled Naruto toward Yomotsu Hirasaka, while the Third Hokage and Kakashi Hatake behind them shrank back.
Gawain is in real danger. Although I don't know if he's telling the truth, strength can't be faked!
That punch and Wood Release were no joke. Even if the forest has reclaimed the ruins it was cleared out, the weeds on the ground in that forest have all disappeared. It's definitely not some kind of mind-bending illusion!
Speaking of which, what kind of ninjutsu did Gawain use?
Even those two people who are proficient in thousands of ninjutsu techniques have never seen this before.
Just as Kakashi Hatake and the Third Hokage were feeling puzzled, Naruto looked up at Yomotsu Hirasaka and immediately became excited.
"Wow, Grandpa, that's amazing! It even tore through the air! Is that an instantaneous teleportation ninjutsu? What's it called? Can I learn it?"
Grandpa, you can't really be my grandpa, can you?
If that's true, could you teach me this ninjutsu?
Besides this, there's also that kind of ninjutsu that can defeat the Hokage in one move! I'm going to be the next Hokage, so that move is perfect for me!
"Oh, the man who will become the next Hokage, huh? That's an interesting ambition."
Hearing Naruto's words, Gawain grinned.
"Will the next Hokage be a woman? Hiruzen, is Tsunade really going to be the Fifth Hokage?"
And Naruto, you're still my Sun Tzu, it's not a good thing for you to be thinking of marrying into the Hokage's family.
Besides, Tsunade is thirty or forty years older than you. Of course, age isn't a problem; Kaguya is over two thousand years older than her grandfather, after all.
But generally speaking, one should have lofty aspirations and not always think about things like marrying into another family or something like that.
"Huh?!?"
"Ha?"
"What?"
When Gawain said those words, not only Naruto, but even the Third Hokage and Kakashi Hatake looked a little embarrassed!
Is your teacher serious?
Was that what Naruto meant by being angry just now?
Does this child have Tsunade?
Wrong!
It's clearly your perspective that's flawed, isn't it?
"That's not how it is, Grandpa, what are you thinking!"
"By the way, what's this kind of understanding called?"
Naruto interrupted Gawain impatiently, but Naruto's thinking was peculiar; he quickly forgot about marriage and continued asking about ninjutsu.
Seeing this, Gawain glanced back at the curious Third Hokage and Kakashi Hatake, and spoke up.
"This technique is called Yomotsu Hirasaka, which can instantly teleport you to any place in your memory."
You probably haven't heard of this kind of ninjutsu, since it requires a lot of chakra; you need at least a bloodline limit to use it.
In terms of specifications, it's considered a Six Paths Ninjutsu. Other ninjutsu of similar quality include the Eighty Gods Vacuum Attack, Golden Wheel Reincarnation Explosion, Yin-Yang Shuriken, and Expansive Truth-Seeking Ball.
Besides these, there are also Ame no Amenominaka, All-Killing Ash Bones, Planetary Devastation, Yin Release: Lightning Dispatch: Storm Release: Light Fang, Limbo: Border Jail: Border Jail, and many more.
As for the question you want to learn...
Naruto, you're not yet ready to learn such ninjutsu.
"After we get back, I'll contact those toads, snakes, and Katsuyu when I have some free time, and I'll pick a Sage Technique for you to learn. Then I'll figure out a way to teach you Bloodline Limits. Only then will you be able to barely try out these ninjutsu."
"That strong?!"
Upon hearing Gawain's words, Naruto was so excited he was practically steaming. Naruto gripped Gawain's hand tightly, but suddenly felt a little anxious.
Grandpa, are you serious? You really want to teach me?
"You... I am the incarnation of a fox spirit, Grandpa, you wouldn't have done the same to me...?"
"What? A fox spirit incarnation? Our family doesn't have such an evil bloodline!"
The fox spirit you're talking about, is it the Kurama sealed within your body?
No problem at all. I'll take him out for a walk when I have time. You're the reincarnation of my Sun Tzu. Whether you have the Nine-Tails- Tails or not won't stop you from becoming a Six Paths level powerhouse. The Nine-Tails' chakra at your age will actually hinder your learning of ninjutsu.
This Nine-Tails doesn't seem to be very obedient, so Grandpa took some time to teach him a lesson.
Once you've matured, it would be perfect to seal two of your favorite Tailed Beast inside your belly and use them as power banks or something.
If you don't like Kurama's appearance, Grandpa will take you to catch Saiken and Shukaku. Those two things look pretty cute too, one is slender and the other is round and chubby and stays up all night."
"Wow, that's amazing!!!"
Naruto immediately let out a thunderous cheer. Although he didn't know what Gawain was saying, it sounded very powerful!
Inside Naruto's stomach.
"How could those two things possibly be prettier than me, you old fool?! Don't you have any taste?!"
As the Nine-Tails fox bristled, it declared that Gawain's eyes were definitely blind, and that it was the Six Paths Lord's favorite child!
Lord Liudao reserved ninety percent of his love for Kurama!!!
Leaving aside Kurama's devastating state of mind, the Third Hokage and Kakashi Hatake, who were following Gawain, were already on the verge of collapse.
What the hell is this ninjutsu?!
Are Six Paths Ninjutsu now sold in bulk?
Is it that scary?!
As they were still in shock, Gawain continued speaking to Naruto as he walked into Yomotsu Hirasaka.
"The ninjutsu that just smashed that forest can also be considered ninjutsu, I suppose."
It contains certain techniques for the Eighty Gods Vacuum Attack.
By the way, this ninjutsu is also the origin of the Hyuga Gentle Fist.
Of course, I wouldn't dare unleash the full power of the Eighty Gods Vacuum Attack here. The full power of the Eighty Gods Vacuum Attack could shatter the nearby continental shelf, turning this place into a vast ocean.
In short, there's a lot your grandfather can teach you.
When your Sasuke arrives, I'll teach you both together.
As soon as he finished speaking, Gawain had already brought Naruto back to the Ninja Village.
At this time, Konoha Village was under heavy guard, and the villagers had all been sent home by the Anbu.
Some well-informed businessmen have even taken refuge in basements.
The Anbu ninjas occupied many rooftops along the street, nervously watching their surroundings. The moment Gawain appeared, countless eyes swept over Gawain.
Fortunately, the Third Hokage and Kakashi Hatake emerged with Gawain, putting the Anbu at ease.
On a distant rooftop, Shikaku Nara a Body Flicker Technique to appear beside the Third Hokage, waiting for instructions while giving Gawain a deep look.
As the eternal representative of the Ino–Shika–Chō trio, Shikaku Nara, who holds the position of head of the Nara Clan, is himself the most core force in the Naruto system.
No one was more worried about the Third Hokage's safety than him, because he had completely placed his bets on Hiruzen.
Six years ago, during the Nine-Tails' Attack, Akimichi, the highest-ranking elder of the Ino–Shika–Chō trio, died in battle. After that, the Ino–Shika–Chō trio completely gave up their ambition to compete for the Hokage position and instead focused their efforts on becoming the Hokage's assistant.
If something were to happen to the third generation at this time, Shikaku Nara, who was completely unprepared, would find it difficult to secure the qualifications to become an advisor in the chaotic political environment.
Without proper arrangements, he simply couldn't control Koharu Utatane and Homura Mitokado.
Those two old guys followed the second generation into and out of the battlefield more than forty years ago. After the two world wars, they had outstanding military achievements, and ordinary methods simply could not suppress them.
To suppress them, Shikaku Nara would have to instigate a conflict between Danzo and the two of them, which would severely weaken Konoha through internal strife, and that's why Shikaku Nara was unwilling to do so.
As for now, the mysterious enemy did not kill the Third Hokage. Although the enemy's intentions are unclear, the outcome is still considered good.
For a moment, Shikaku Nara couldn't help but let out a soft sigh.
Seeing that Shikaku Nara had given in, Hiruzen shook his head and then said softly.
"This gentleman is... Gawain!"
He is... a senior figure who has many connections with Lord Madara Uchiha and Hashirama Uchiha!
Furthermore, Naruto is... this senior's Sun Tzu!
In short, this senior will be staying in Konoha from now on, so please make sure to take good care of his daily life, Hiruzen!
In addition, I told Jiraiya and Tsunade to return to Konoha Village as soon as possible, because Senior Gawain had... something important to tell them!
That's settled then, you all go and get to work. I'll take Senior Gawain on a nice tour of the village!!!
Wow!
The people around paused abruptly, then gasped in unison!
He's Naruto's grandfather? Then this person must be... the Fourth Hokage's father!
No wonder the Fourth Hokage was able to earn the title of "Yellow Flash" at such a young age. I thought he was a genius among commoners, but it turns out he also came from a family with a strong academic background!
Only...
This person's surname isn't Namikaze, is it?
Did Minato Namikaze change his surname?
In an instant, countless Anbu were filled with mixed emotions, and one by one they went away.
Gawain and the Third Hokage, who had put on his Hokage robes again, strolled along the street.
Kakashi Hatake immediately took over the responsibility of protecting the Hokage, otherwise Kakashi Hatake simply couldn't bear to leave Gawain Naruto the Third Hokage, two people he cared about deeply.
As he walked, Gawain looked at the surrounding buildings and couldn't help but sigh.
"The ecosystem of the Shinobi World is really strange. They already have things like TVs and refrigerators, but the ecosystem is still so much like ancient times?"
This already qualifies as modern, doesn't it?
Naruto, let's buy a better TV. What kind of shows do you like?
"Of course it's the movie 'Ninja Clash in the Land of Snow'! That older sister is so beautiful!!!"
Naruto let out an excited howl, and the Third Hokage quickly led the two to the place that sells televisions.
First, he bought the latest TV, then all the kitchen utensils; Gawain plans to cook occasionally.
Finally, Gawain, led by the third generation, passed by the Yamanaka Clan's flower shop.
Because of the trouble in the village, the ninja academy has been closed, so Ino Yamanaka is staying at the flower shop to help out.
As for Naruto, that kid always skipped school. You don't really think that someone who can climb trees and wade in water can't learn the Shadow Clone Technique, do you? He was really naughty when he was in school!
Even though he was indeed influenced by Kurama, it didn't stop him from learning to climb trees and wade through water during his mission in the Land of Waves.
Climbing trees and wading through water are chakra control skills that only genin (lower-ranking ninja) need to master. Since Naruto has the ability to achieve this level of control, his poor academic performance in the past was definitely not solely due to Kurama's influence.
Leaving aside Naruto's academic struggles, Ino, who was moving flowers and Ino Yamanaka, immediately stood up straight when she saw the Third Hokage and his group approaching.
Following behind her mother, Ino Yamanaka tilted her head in admiration.
"Third generation sir!
And Naruto too!
And... what a handsome older man!!!
"That's my grandpa, Ino Yamanaka!!!"
Naruto's brow furrowed slightly, and his words elicited a disdainful laugh from Ino Yamanaka.
"He's such a handsome middle-aged man, and you call him your grandfather? Naruto, you've really gone too far! It's no wonder Sakura Haruno doesn't like you, hmph!"
But why is the Third Hokage with Naruto? Did he take him shopping again?
And also, handsome uncle, what's your name? How old are you? You're even more handsome than Sasuke! Sasuke will definitely look like you when he grows up~~~."
Ino Yamanaka's eyes visibly sparkled with desire. Just like Sakura Haruno when she was little, this girl's mind was filled with handsome men; she was quite the fangirl.
That said, being a ninja is probably a high-risk profession, because ninjas are all very precocious from a young age.
At the age of fifteen or sixteen, they basically settle their lifelong marriages. In the Shinobi World, those who marry and have children late, like Asuma Sarutobi and Kurenai Yuhi, are quite rare.
Of course, that's what they say. In reality, because of the high-risk nature of the profession, many ninjas harbor unspeakable painful pasts, so much so that many excellent ninjas don't get married until they are in their forties or fifties.
Today, Homura Mitokado and Koharu Utatane share a story similar to that of Tsunade and Jiraiya.
Homura Mitokado loved Koharu her whole life, but Koharu only loved Jing, who died young.
Homura Mitokado fought countless enemies, but he couldn't defeat a dead man...
As a result, both of these Hokage's assistants are still single, and they're almost too late for a twilight romance.
Seeing Ino Yamanaka instantly become infatuated with him, her mother took a worried breath.
Ino Yamanaka's mother glanced at Gawain cautiously and then handed him a bouquet of flowers.
"Hello... Gawain, this bouquet of cosmos flowers is for you... I wish you a pleasant afternoon."
My daughter has caused you trouble. This child... has always been very carefree at school.
I'm so sorry.
"Haha, it's nothing. Your daughter is just as beautiful as you, Konoha Village. Looking at Ino Yamanaka makes me feel younger too."
Gawain smiled and squatted down, casually placing the flowers that Ino Yamanaka's mother had given him into Ino Yamanaka's arms.
"Here, this is for you, little girl."
My name is Gawain, and I am indeed Naruto's grandfather. Naruto must have caused you some trouble at school, so please don't be angry with him.
"Just for the sake of this bouquet of flowers~~."
After speaking, Gawain waved to Ino Yamanaka and Ino Yamanaka's mother, then followed behind the Third Hokage and walked towards Sasuke's house.
It's time to bring over that long-suffering Sun Tzu Indra!
