Chapter 10 The Secret Between Two People
"Well, it's good, it's good. Without anyone's guidance, he not only mastered the Shadow Clan technique, but also could easily guide the child from the Uchiha clan to train... Naruto, you can really surprise grandpa all the time."
Looking at Naruto who was finally willing to let go of his vigilance in front of him, Naruto Michime Naruto smiled and exclaimed softly while raising his hand and gently stroked the beard on his chin.
"Speaking of this... you kid actually recognize me?"
"Hmph, that's of course. I see the statue of grandpa carved on Naruto Rock every day! How could I not recognize it?"
Hearing this, Naruto was slightly proud to scrape his nose with his fingers, then put his hands on his hips and straightened his body, and responded with a smile while squinting his eyes.
"Well, it's okay. Although I have been working hard to practice, I can't hide it from the third generation Naruto Grandpa... Hehe, as everyone else said, the third generation Naruto Grandpa is the strongest ninja in the village!"
"Hahaha! Although you are young, you are quite good at flattering when you speak with your mouth."
After hearing Naruto's words, Naruto's mouth was twitching his pipe, and he couldn't help but smile even more. He freed up a hand to cover the doting and caressing the person's little head, and he thought of curiosity and asked.
"Wait a minute, what your child said before was... long time no see?"
"Ah, that's of course. Although I don't have much impression, I think this is definitely not the first time Grandpa Sanshi met me."
When he heard the question in front of him, Naruto suppressed the shame in his heart and let the child touch his head, while tilting his head a little, his smile continued to shock Naruto.
"After mom and dad sacrificed their lives for the village, the grandfather of the third generation of Hokage must have come to the scene to confirm the situation, right? If you think so, it's normal that you've met before!"
"Mom and Dad...Sacrifice...Naruto, you...?!"
As soon as Naruto's words fell, Naruto's third-year-old Hokage felt like he fell into an ice cave, and his palms trembled slightly, and he carefully observed Naruto's expression.
"Who told you about this? Naruto...Do you know who your parents are?"
"That's of course. As a child whom my parents protects with their lives, how could I not know who my parents are?"
Noting the scrutiny gaze cast by the third generation Naruto, Naruto looked up at him without any evasion and looked straight at him, tilting his head slightly as if he was just saying something normal, and continued to say word by word.
"My mother was the last Jiu-Tailed Tsukiriki, Uzumaki Kushina, who was before me. And my father was the great hero who sacrificed his life to save the village, the fourth generation Naruto Shin-South Hokageha Fukumizu Gate..."
"Am I right? Grandpa Naruto, the third generation."
"...You're right, child." The third-year-old Hokage looked at the little guy in front of him carefully. The laughing Naruto not only did not have any hatred and dissatisfaction with him because of the indifference and discrimination of the villagers over the years, but also trusted the third-year-old Hokage without reservation. At the same time, his blue and clear eyes were full of intimacy, which made the third-year-old Hokage breathe a sigh of relief. Because he knew his life experience, he did not break the agreement with Danzo. He nodded slightly to affirm Naruto's answer.
"Naruto... Since you know your life experience, why didn't you tell grandpa earlier? In that case, you wouldn't have to suffer so much..."
"Suffering? Hehe, there is no such thing! From the day of birth, this place has been filled with the love of parents. The rest only needs to be treated as a kind of practice!"
Naruto's mouth raised slightly in a curve. While one thumb was pressing against his heart, his other hand pointed at the thick tree roots with no traces around him.
"Besides, even the third-generation Naruto Grandpa was unable to stop this situation, which means that the village is not as peaceful as it seems on the surface... At this critical moment, it's nothing to suffer a little grievance, so I can't add more trouble to the third-generation Naruto Grandpa."
This is not something Naruto pretends to be deliberately, but a real truth.
First, Naruto knew how cruel and ruthless Danzo could be to successfully sit on the Naruto throne. Only by maintaining the despised demon fox can one spend the most vulnerable period of childhood that is prone to "death" in unknown ways, and second,... it is out of the familiarity and understanding of the kind old man in front of him.
Although Naruto did not have much favoritism for the Konoha senior executive who created his miserable childhood, and could even be said to be full of disgust and disgust, he was full of respect for the amiable Naruto in front of him.
The third-generation Naruto Sarutobi Hinaru... As one of the first-generation Naruto's personal disciples, the third-generation Naruto has all five chakra attributes, so he can skillfully perform the five-attribute ninjutsu of wind, thunder, earth, fire, water, and was known as the ninjutsu professor and cultivated the "Three Ninjutsu" that was famous all over the world! With its powerful strength that is hard to match in the contemporary era, he inherited the title of the ninjutsu god of the first-generation Naruto's Senjutsu Hashirama!
In addition, the third-generation Naruto was the Naruto who was the longest-standing in Konoha's history and led the heyday of Konoha's Ninja Village. Later, when Orochimaru led the invasion of Sakura and Yinnin Village, he fought alone in the filthy state to protect the village and summoned back from the world of the Dead. In the end, in order to protect the village from being destroyed by Orochimaru, he chose to sacrifice his life and used the sealing technique and the corpse and ghost seal. It can be said that he was a respectable ninja who devoted his whole life to his beloved village without reservation and devoted his whole life to his beloved village until his death.
Of course, based on these words alone, it is to gain Naruto's respect at most. The most important thing that makes Naruto completely trust the Naruto's Hokage is that when Naruto was ostracized and suppressed by villagers and was falsely accused of being called a demon fox, Naruto was one of the few Konoha senior members who could only protect and protect Naruto and sincerely respect Naruto.
When Naruto was excluded and resentful by the villagers, he was confused and wronged, it was Naruto who concealed his identity and looked for his company by Naruto, and patiently persuaded Naruto to walk out of this shadow that was enough to twist people's psychology into monsters.
When Naruto was bewitched by Mizuki, Iruka, who influenced Naruto when he was influenced by Mizuki, was the third-generation Naruto who was not relieved of Naruto's own life and specially asked him to take care of Naruto on his behalf. The leader Haki Kakashi, who had a great influence on the seventh class, was also the best choice for Naruto to arrange for Naruto after careful consideration.
Although these are only born in Naruto in the original work, since he has replaced Naruto Uzumaki, he will naturally remember them in his heart... The grace of a drop of water should be repaid with a spring, which is an important principle that Naruto believes in!
"…How much do you kid know?"
"Well, I just tried to collect information by myself in my free time in my practice... I understand a little, understand a little~"
While speaking, Naruto blinked his eyes innocently, trying to make himself look cute and harmless. However, from Naruto's previous small move of deliberately pointing to the tree roots, it was enough for the third generation to know... The surprises and secrets contained in the small body in front of him were far more than several times more than he had expected at first!
"So, after enduring for so long, why did you suddenly tell me the truth? Are you not going to continue hiding it? Or is there something important that you little guy has to ask for help from the old man?"
The third generation Naruto, who has gradually stopped treating Naruto as a child, slowly retracted his touched palm and asked softly.
"No, I plan to continue hiding it. After all, with my current strength, it is safer to live as a 'demon fox'... So, this will be the secret between me and the third generation Naruto Grandpa."
Naruto glanced out of the corner of his eyes at the small round fan playing with Shadow Clan in the stream in the distance. After pausing for a little, he restrained his smile on his face and continued to say.
"However, I do have a few things, and I want to have a good talk with Grandpa Naruto, the third generation..."
With Naruto's orderly narration, his tender face gradually showed a mature and sophisticated person who was obviously inconsistent with his age. While surprised the third generation Naruto, he also vaguely felt a little familiar and nostalgic from it... as if he saw the figure of the calm and wise Naruto who was wearing the fourth generation Naruto's robe and step by step!
