Returning to Naruto.
The aroma of roasted fish wafted out.
Even without many seasonings, in Naruto's hands, with his master-level cooking skills, it transformed into a delicacy.
"What fragrant roasted fish!"
"Can Old Man also have some?"
The famished Naruto had already decided to feast first, then properly test the effects of the so-called system.
After all.
The prerequisite for making a big splash in the Ninja World was to eat one's fill!
Otherwise, save the world on an empty stomach?!
But... a familiar... even somewhat annoying voice to Naruto, rang out.
That's right.
The person who came was none other than the Third Hokage of Konoha Village—Hiruzen Sarutobi!
"Old ba... Old Man."
"It's you?"
Naruto subconsciously wanted to greet the old bastard.
He then realized that his current situation was not suitable for contradicting Hiruzen Sarutobi.
So he quickly changed, put on a smile, and sweetly called him Old Man.
"Ding, detected the host acting in front of the Hokage, comprehended Super Talk No Jutsu."
"Super Talk No Jutsu: After use, it can interfere with existing logic, automatically making people enter the user's logic."
After calling him Old Man, he didn't expect to comprehend such a divine skill.
"Hahahaha..."
"Little fellow, why is your roasted fish so fragrant!?"
"Old Man hasn't eaten yet, how about sharing one with me?"
Hiruzen Sarutobi looked at the clear and foolish smile on Naruto's face, feeling increasingly satisfied.
Such a performance was enough to prove that his arrangements over the years were not wrong.
After years of KPI, Naruto had been thoroughly fooled by him.
"Mhm!"
Naruto smiled sweetly, then picked up a freshly placed roasted fish and handed it to Hiruzen Sarutobi.
He, himself, quickly devoured all the remaining roasted fish.
Laughing to death!
His body was almost collapsing from hunger, and this immortal old dog actually wanted to steal his fish?
You want fish, huh... here's a diarrhea-inducing fish meal for you.
Looking at the fish in his hand, Hiruzen Sarutobi didn't suspect anything.
He also began to eat.
It smelled fragrant, but when he ate it... it was a bit strange.
But Hiruzen Sarutobi still calmly finished the fish.
"Little Naruto, you're five years old, aren't you?"
"Do you want to go to the Ninja Academy to study?"
Hiruzen Sarutobi straightened up, smiling kindly as he spoke.
This was also Hiruzen Sarutobi's plan.
As long as the enrollment ceremony tomorrow, he would appear at the Ninja Academy as the Hokage and begin his speech.
In his eyes.
Naruto would discover that the one who always cared for him was Konoha's Hokage.
Then, his dependence and reverence would inevitably lean more towards him.
Once the Jinchuriki grew to sufficient strength, he would be able to easily control him.
"Mhm!"
"I want to go to the Academy."
"But..."
Naruto subconsciously lowered his head.
He didn't continue speaking.
Seeing Naruto in this state, Hiruzen Sarutobi's heart grew even happier.
Naruto was precocious and naturally understood his situation.
It was very difficult for a child without parents like him to enter the Ninja Academy.
"It's good that you want to go."
"Go register tomorrow, I've already spoken to the Academy, Old Man has already paid your tuition and miscellaneous fees."
"Little Naruto, you will definitely become a powerful Ninja who protects the Village in the future, so work hard!"
Hiruzen Sarutobi revealed what he thought was a gentle smile, slowly speaking.
As long as Naruto was sent to the Ninja Academy, he wouldn't have to worry too much about the subsequent matters.
Moreover, Hiruzen Sarutobi also had to make Naruto enter the Ninja Academy now.
Because he still had many things to deal with next.
The Uchiha Clan's matters!
Danzo's threat!
The other Villages' restless movements!
What Hiruzen Sarutobi had to do was first handle the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki's matters.
"Wow!"
"Really!?"
"Thank you, Old Man!"
"I can also go to the Academy now, I will definitely become a powerful Ninja in the future and protect the Village well."
"I'll let everyone know that I'm not a Demon Fox, I'm a Ninja of Konoha!"
"In the future, I also want to become the Hokage of the Village!"
Naruto's eyes were full of stars.
As he said these words, Super Talk No Jutsu also activated.
Furthermore, these words were consistent with Hiruzen Sarutobi's desired outcome.
This left Hiruzen Sarutobi with no doubts, and he began to happily tell Naruto some things about the Ninja Academy.
He even gave Naruto ten thousand Ryo when he left.
To let Naruto prepare some new clothes and training Ninja tools.
After Hiruzen Sarutobi left, Naruto slowly walked towards his residence.
"Ding, detected the host's rapid movement, comprehended Super Taijutsu Training, which can greatly increase the speed of Taijutsu improvement."
"Ding, detected the host's jump, comprehended Moonwalk, from the world of One Piece, which allows movement in the air using special footwork."
...As the system prompts sounded, surprise shone in Naruto's eyes.
This system was a bit too overpowered!
However, these comprehensions still required time to improve.
Whether it was the improvement of Taijutsu or Moonwalk.
None of them were abilities to solve the biggest crisis at present.
"Swish swish swish!~"
Just as Naruto was pondering, several Ninja wearing animal masks appeared not far from him.
"Demon Fox Brat, come with us."
The Tailed Beast's deer-masked Ninja held a rope in his hand and spoke coldly.
"Root?!"
Naruto's heart skipped a beat.
Why would people from the Root Organization be looking for him at this time?
Logically, shouldn't the Root Organization be busy dealing with the Uchiha at this time?
During this period, he, the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, was not as dangerous as the Uchiha who were about to go berserk.
Oh no!
Not to mention he didn't have many abilities to resolve the current crisis, even if he did, he couldn't use them at this time.
Because he had no means to keep the four Root Organization members in front of him.
Once exposed, his situation would become even more dangerous.
"I'm not a Demon Fox Brat!"
"Old Man said I can go to the Ninja Academy tomorrow."
"In the future, I can even become Hokage and protect the Village!"
"Don't take me away!"
Naruto suddenly shouted.
His newly acquired hunting skills had given Naruto super observation.
Someone was hiding not far away.
Who was it?
Naruto didn't know.
But, since they hadn't appeared with the Root Organization members, they definitely weren't part of the Root Organization.
Moreover, there was a high probability that they were Anbu members.
The Anbu were directly under the Hokage... "Hmph!"
"Kid, you'd best not make a fuss, the adults just need to see you, and won't..."
"Swish!"
Before the deer-masked Root member could continue speaking, a figure appeared in front of Naruto.
It was a Ninja with a short sword on his back and wearing an Anbu mask.
His smooth long hair made Naruto recognize his identity immediately.
The super traitor, the Hokage's super lackey who massacred his own clan—Uchiha Itachi!
