With festive music, banners fluttered in the wind.
And standing in front of me smiling...
That is Konoha Third Hokage——Hiruzen Sarutobi.
And all around... there were rows of ninjas with masks on their faces, wearing special gray Ninja Vest and black tight-fitting uniforms.
Konoha Anbu!
Konoha's elite troops!
As if to greet them.
now.
Everyone was silent and looked at them with complicated faces.
You must know that this is the Konoha elite ninja who is performing a secret mission!
Unexpectedly, Third Hokage would pay so much attention to Grass Ninja Village Leader and sent several teams to stand at the door...
Third Hokage came out to greet him in person, and Anbu Ninja lined up all around to welcome him!
Look at this formation!
It's too exaggerated!
However.
But they don't know...Hiruzen Sarutobi actually doesn't want this~
I originally thought that Kusagakure would just send a team of ninjas over to show their willingness.
But I didn't expect... not to mention that Obito Uchiha was sent, but Grass Ninja Leader also came in person!
What do you want to do?
Are you ready to let Konoha lock the village again?
To be honest, at that moment... Hiruzen Sarutobi regretted inviting these scammers here.
Just be embarrassed if you're embarrassed!
I believe everyone will understand!
How could it be so frightening now!
Therefore, in order to prevent Kusagakure from causing trouble at this important moment, Hiruzen Sarutobi felt that... he had better pay attention and must keep an eye on these guys.
Originally, I thought about coming forward in person, arranging them to a more remote place, and keeping a good eye on Grass Ninja Village Leader.
I believe that just Obito Uchiha and Grass Ninja Leader, as long as they are prepared in advance, Konoha can still cope with it and there will definitely be no problems.
The result was unexpected...
Just as he was about to walk to the door, he suddenly heard strange sounds.
Especially that sound...
He was so frightened that his hand shook and he almost dropped his pipe to the ground.
Why is this guy here too?
Kusagakure There are two of the three biggest scams... actually?
What do you want to do?
Worried that something would happen and I couldn't stop it, I quickly asked someone to arrange for a few teams of Anbu Ninja to come over.
Then.
Without stopping any longer, he immediately asked people to pull up the banner and play music, showing the etiquette of Konoha!
"Sorry! Sorry! I just went to the toilet!" Hiruzen Sarutobi walked forward cheerfully, looked at Kusana and Hanzo of the Salamander, and said, "I originally wanted to come and greet you personally, so I asked Leader Mang to wait outside with you for a while. I didn't expect that I was so late. I'm really sorry! I'm really sorry!"
"..."
Why does it look strange yet familiar at the same time?
Kusana and Lord Hanzō looked at Third Hokage in front of them complicatedly.
This Konoha...
Has it changed?
It made them all a little embarrassed to take action!
At this time.
Hanzo of the Salamander sighed with emotion, then looked around, with a sincere tone, "Danzo Where is my friend? I came here this time just to visit my old friend." He sighed with emotion, "I haven't seen you for a long time, I miss you so much!"
The words fell.
"..."
Hiruzen was silent again, then raised his eyelids and said cheerfully, "Danzo suddenly felt a little sick. Therefore, he is recuperating and it is temporarily unavailable to see guests!"
When we get down later, ask Anbu to inform Danzo to stay in the base during this period and not go out!
Konoha.
I can't stand the trouble!
"My friend Danzo is sick?" Hearing Hiruzen Sarutobi's words, Hanzo of the Salamander said anxiously, "Is it serious? Is everything okay? No, as a close friend, I must go and visit in person. I just happened to have brought two Ibuse to replenish his health later!"
"No... it's not necessary! Danzo is very seriously ill, terminally ill! It is inconvenient to visit him now!"
Visit?
I think you are here to steal someone!
Hiruzen Sarutobi laughed sarcastically, then quickly turned to look at Kusana. Worried that Half-God of the Ninja World would continue to be entangled like this, he quickly changed the subject and said, "Thank you Leader Mang took time out of his busy schedule to attend Chunin Exam held by Konoha. I believe Kusagakure will definitely shine in Chunin Exam this time!"
"Hahaha, Third Hokage is too praised!" Hearing Hiruzen Sarutobi's words, Kusana smiled slightly, and then said with a serious face, "Kusagakure and The friendship that Konoha has only seen can be traced back to the early days of the Ninja Village. At that time, Konoha and Grass Ninja were living together, supporting each other, and even loving relatives, friends, and brothers. I think back to the time of Half-God of the Ninja World..."
With his hands behind his back, his eyes were cloudy, as if carrying memories.
"Konoha was first built, with majestic appearance, red armor and green clothes, chatting and laughing..."
"It's so nostalgic!" Hiruzen Sarutobi raised his eyelids when he saw Grass Ninja Leader getting caught up in telling a story for no reason.
This will probably drag on forever!
Who doesn't know that Kusagakure is famous for his bragging skills?
He quickly interrupted and said, "By the way, I haven't seen Kusagakure come to the competition yet. I think that Leader Mang must be such a cautious and talented ninja! I'm really looking forward to it!"
"Oh, that's right! I almost forgot!" Kusana turned his head and looked at Obito Uchiha, who had his ears clasped aside, "Let him out!"
The words fell.
Hiruzen Sarutobi immediately understood... The child who came to compete was accepted into Kamui Dimension. He turned his head and looked at Obito Uchiha complicatedly, and he couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
The former Konoha genius!
What a pity~
Now it no longer belongs to Konoha.
To be honest, if he could, he didn't want to see Obito come to Konoha.
At this time.
"I got it~" Obito waved his hand.
Said.
The space in front of him was distorted.
Then.
"Are you here? Are you here? Hahaha, I'm here!"
A familiar voice sounded, making Hiruzen Sarutobi's eyelids twitch.
Before he could react, a familiar blond boy appeared in front of him with a smiling expression.
Uzumaki Naruto?!
Kusagakure actually sent this child?!
No!
This child has grown up than before!
I am much more confident than... before!
I saw.
Uzumaki Naruto put his hands on his hips and burst into laughter, "This time... I will definitely let the guys who bullied me before know how powerful I Uzumaki Naruto is!"
"..."
This kid... also has a grudge against Konoha?
Hiruzen Sarutobi looked at Naruto in front of him with complicated eyes, and opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something.
"Idiot!"
Another familiar voice sounded.
That child...
The youngest son of the former Uchiha Clan Head?
Uchiha Sasuke?!
Hiruzen Sarutobi's expression suddenly froze, and his eyes flickered at Grass Ninja Leader in front of him.
Unexpectedly... I actually brought these two children this time!
and.
"Uncle Amang~"X2
These two children look very familiar to Grass Ninja Leader!
He actually didn't even see Third Hokage standing in front of him.
Hiruzen Sarutobi's heart was suddenly filled with complexity. He sighed, then looked at Naruto in front of him, and said with emotion, "Naruto~"
The words just fell.
"Huh? Old man Third Hokage, you are here too!" Naruto turned his head in confusion, looking at Third Hokage who was looking at him with a complicated expression in surprise, and then said with a smile, "Long time no see, old man Third Hokage, you have become even older!"
"..."
After hearing Naruto's words, Hiruzen Sarutobi's emotional expression suddenly froze.
Unexpectedly...
This child can already face him calmly.
He sighed again and said with a smile, "Long time no see, Naruto! It seems that you are having a good time in Kusagakure!" Then he paused slightly, "What happened back then... I'm sorry!"
"It's okay! It's okay!" Naruto waved his hand nonchalantly, "Anyway, someone said they would beat you up personally!"
"???"
"No... it's nothing! I don't care anymore, old man Third Hokage." Naruto laughed and said, "I'm living a good life in Kusagakure. As for other people..." He raised his fist, slightly raised the corners of his mouth with a smile, "If they bully me again, I will beat them up~"
"Naruto..."
This child is really more confident!
But after hearing that he seemed to have let go of the past, Hiruzen Sarutobi felt melancholy and a little complicated at the same time.
But after a while, he still showed a kind smile and said, "Naruto, this will always be your home. No matter when, as long as you come back, Konoha will always welcome you!"
After saying that, he looked at Naruto in front of him.
He knew... he had said these words too late. The child in front of him would never agree because he had already found his new life.
However.
Just when he thought Naruto would smile and shake his head in refusal, saying that he had found his own future.
Then.
As Hokage, he praised him happily and asked him to stick to his way of tolerance.
Sudden.
"Really?"
"???"
Before he could react.
"Are you telling the truth? Grandpa Third Hokage~" Uzumaki Naruto in front of him looked at him seriously, his eyes wide and he said with emotion, "Actually, I have a dream."
Raise your head slightly.
"I want to be Hokage's man! Grandpa Third Hokage, I've wanted to come back for a long time! Otherwise, I'd better come back!"
The words just fell.
Hiruzen Sarutobi:...
A look of silence.
The kind smile on his face also froze.
Just now I called you Third Hokage old man, now I call you Third Hokage grandpa!
This kid...
I couldn't help but sigh in melancholy, "Why have you become so careless?"]
