Naruto: If I let you be Naruto, you will become yellow-haired?

Chapter 37 Immune to Sarutobi Hiruzen's Will of Fire PUA
A small, shabby apartment on Konoha's central street.

"Naruto, I'm coming in."

Sarutobi Hiruzen knocked on the door and pushed it open.

The imagined scene of Naruto, the little carrot-head with lush yellow hair, excitedly jumping into her arms upon seeing her did not happen.

Looking around, the empty and monotonous room was as quiet as I remembered.

On the bright rooftop, a light wind chime sways in the wind, emitting pleasant notes.

Naruto pushed open the bedroom door wearing loose cotton pajamas, looking like he had just woken up and rubbing his sleepy eyelids.

Of course, Naruto was not waiting for Sarutobi Hiruzen specifically.

"Hokage-sama."

Hearing that slightly polite and distant address, Sarutobi Hiruzen's smiling face froze.

"Why doesn't Naruto call me Grandpa Hokage like he used to?"

"I'm already attending Ninja School. It won't be long before I become a real ninja. I can't be like before..."

Naruto scratched his head and refused seriously.

This was a reason he made up to fool Sarutobi.

I used to have no one to rely on in the village.

Only Sarutobi Hiruzen would occasionally come into contact with me with ill intentions to take care of me.

But now Naruto has decided to hug another pair of white, soft and fragrant beautiful legs.

Sarutobi Hiruzen's importance in his heart plummeted, and there was no need to pretend to be nice to him anymore.

He used to be Sweetie, but now he’s just Mrs. Niu.

Sarutobi Hiruzen showed a kind smile of an old grandfather on his old face, and reached out to touch Naruto's yellow-haired head, but Naruto dodged it by taking a step back without leaving a trace.

Sarutobi Hiruzen's face froze again.

Naruto, are you serious about taking a half step back?

Small actions can cause so much damage!
A trace of guilt flashed in Sarutobi Hiruzen's eyes. After all, he had been busy with village affairs for so many years and neglected to take care of Naruto.

I'm sorry to Minato!

Looking at the yellow-haired boy whose height had gradually grown to the height of his waist, Sarutobi Hiruzen sighed inwardly.

The memory of Tsunade's merciless words in the office, in which she reprimanded several high-ranking Konoha officials, came to mind.

The sharp kunai, like a barrage of thunderbolts, pierced deeply into his aging and shrinking heart.

Under Tsunade's pressure and reprimand,

He finally ignored the opposition of other senior executives and made up his mind to clarify Naruto's life experience!

Ease the relationship between the villagers and the Jinchūriki, and try to eliminate the tragic barrier from the past.

He rubbed the wrinkles on his brow and looked at Naruto, then confessed slowly in a heavy tone.

"Naruto...you are actually the child of the Fourth Hokage, Minato Namikaze!"

"Minato... Six years ago, the village's tailed beast broke free from its seal, and the Nine-Tails Rebellion broke out."

"Your father, as the Hokage at the time, felt obligated to perform a forbidden technique for the safety of the village. Ultimately, he dedicated his life to fully implementing the Will of Fire for the village!"

Sarutobi Hiruzen lowered his cloudy eyes and held Naruto's small hands tightly with both hands, with veins bulging on his dry and powerful hands.

His voice trembled slightly, as if suppressing a heavy sadness and pain. "After Minato's death, due to his previous achievements, he was very famous in the enemy village and made many enemies."

"Besides, Naruto, you are his only surviving son. If your identity as Minato's son is made public."

"What if the ninjas from Kumogakure or Iwagakure who are enemies with Minato find out about this? If they manage to sneak into Konoha, they'll take revenge on you, Minato's only son! Then..."

"If something happens to you, how will I have the face to see your father Minato again?

So, Naruto, you have been wronged over the years!"

What follows is a set of stories about how he was given the task of taking on important tasks in the years since the Night of the Nine-Tailed Fox, when Konoha was facing multiple crises from all sides, both internal and external.

The threats from the Cloud Village, the dissatisfaction and suppression from the Daimyo, the funding restrictions, the threat of war from the Rock Village, and many other complicated matters,
He didn't have the spare energy to take care of and raise Naruto at the moment, and now he suddenly realized that Naruto was being treated unfairly and excluded by the village as a son of a hero!
Sitting on the sofa together, two hands as dry as old tree bark tightly grasped Naruto's tender hands, conveying the warmth of their palms.

At this moment, Sarutobi Hiruzen did not have the aura of a Hokage who had been in high position for a long time.
Instead, he acted like a kind and approachable old grandfather who lived next door, begging Naruto to forgive his past mistakes and the village's indifference.

Faced with Sarutobi Hiruzen's series of sincere revelations, tears rolled in his turbid eyes.

Naruto's face was calm, his emotions were not fluctuating at all, and he nodded without comment.

After saying so much, I can summarize it in one sentence.

I hope Naruto will understand the village and his difficulties and forget the pain he suffered before.

Inherit the legacy of Minato Namikaze and continue to serve the village!
"I see……"

Regarding Sarutobi Hiruzen's familiar set of Fire Will KFC.

Naruto scoffed at the lame excuses and reasons Sarutobi Hiruzen gave himself for ignoring Naruto.

Over the years, he has suffered all kinds of injustice from the village. He would be driven away even when buying a bowl of instant noodles, and would explode if he looked at the fox mask for one second.

He didn't believe that Sarutobi Hiruzen, who had been in charge of Konoha for decades and was proficient in the art of peeping and telescope, was completely unaware of his situation!
Moreover, every time Naruto was scolded by the villagers, he would be alone at home.

Sarutobi Hiruzen, the kind old grandfather, came to show his care with a warm smile at just the right time.

The indifferent people in the village who hated him formed a sharp contrast with his grandfather Sarutobi Hiruzen, who had a kind smile like a warm spring breeze and was caring and considerate of him everywhere!
This is so touching. Who wouldn't be completely devoted to this old grandfather who was the only one who gave them warmth in their dark childhood?
Sarutobi Hiruzen, moved by his own heartfelt, sincere and tender words, wiped the tears from his eyes.
He tilted his head to look at Naruto, who had a dull expression, was yawning and looked very sleepy.

A trace of confusion flashed in Sarutobi Hiruzen's old eyes, and a layer of gloom hung between his brows as things went beyond his expectations.

No, brother, this tastes wrong!

As he expected, Naruto shouldn't be excited to know that he is the son of the Fourth Minato. But because of the grievances he suffered over the years, he felt hesitant and confused.

Then he took the opportunity to comfort little Naruto, and the grandfather and grandson hugged each other and cried bitterly.

Will you completely open up your heart and establish a bond between the Jinchūriki and the village?!
...

"The next class will be the first practical training of this school year. Students who perform well,

Next week, when the Hokage visits the Ninja School, you can be praised by him personally as an outstanding representative!"

In class, Iruka excitedly announced the good news.

It was like a fat man visiting Nagasaki, causing a sudden uproar in the classroom.

"To be able to meet the Hokage-sama face to face!"

"Ah! If I were to win first place, I wouldn't even dare to dream!"

Naruto turned the pencil in his hand. It must be said that Sarutobi Hiruzen's promotion of the Will of Fire was quite effective, and the title of the strongest Hokage was deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

He turned his head as if sensing something, and suddenly met a burning and provocative gaze.
