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

Chapter 45 Naruto: (Sigh) Still can’t enter Tsunade’s heart (Please read and vote)

"Did your father, Uchiha Fugaku, really collude with those hawkish factions in your clan this time?!"

Sarutobi Hizaku's old face, as bark-like as a tree, was solemn. He kept smoking his pipe and spoke in a heavy tone.

Uchiha Itachi said with certainty, "Yes, Hokage-sama!"

"Also, he asked me to pay more attention to the movements of the village leaders, especially the Anbu and the Root, and also asked me to..."

Listening to Uchiha Itachi's report, Sarutobi Hiruzen's brows furrowed tighter and tighter, and he slowly put down the pipe in his hand, "What else do you want?"

Uchiha Itachi paused, then made up his mind and added, "And I have to win over the village's Nine-Tails Jinchuriki..."

Sarutobi Hiruzen's originally old and turbid eyes suddenly flashed with a fierce light, and in an instant it was as if an old lion that had been sleeping for decades suddenly woke up.

At this moment, Uchiha Itachi, who was half-kneeling on the ground with a loyal look on his face, felt that he was being stared at by the ferocious beast, with a cold light on his back, and was amazed in his heart.

Since he was born, the Third Hokage rarely showed his strength in Konoha's external battlefields. Most of the time, he was the Hokage, sitting in Konoha and intimidating everyone.

I didn't expect that at his old age, he could still burst out with such terrifying fierce momentum and tremendous chakra!
It seems that the family has greatly underestimated the strength of the Third Hokage, and this reckless act of conspiracy will bring about the family's demise!
Sarutobi Hiruzen remained silent for a long time, his eyes flashing. He had long known that Uchiha Sasuke had many contacts with Naruto in the ninja school and they had a close relationship.

However, he had investigated and found that this was a pure and normal bond between boys, and friendship could more easily bind Naruto, who seemed to have gone astray, to the village!

That's why he deliberately let it go. He never thought that the Uchiha clan would actually dare to target Naruto. Who gave him the courage?!
Is it that he, who once swept the ninja world with the help of the most powerful summoning beast monkey demon king and earned a great reputation as a ninja hero, has not made a move in many years and can no longer intimidate the Uchiha?!
Looking at Sarutobi Hiruzen's changing expression and calm demeanor as he pondered silently, Uchiha Itachi considered again and spoke.

"Hokage-sama, actually...I don't think my father has truly made up his mind. He's unlike the traitors who are hawk-like and determined to put the interests of their family above those of the village."

"My father has always been a weak character, appearing fierce but weak inside! This time, his decision certainly wasn't as decisive as it appeared, and he was also hesitant in his heart..."

Sarutobi Hiruzen nodded when he heard this. This was indeed the impression Fugaku left on him!

His dry, strong fingers tapped on the table, making a dull sound. "Let me see Fugaku again, if..."

……

"I'm back, Lady Tsunade!"

The cheerful and crisp voice of a silent worker leaving get off work rang out from the door.

Then there was a burst of grumbling and complaining.

"Tsunade-sama, why did you throw your shoes here in the entrance again? Didn't I tell you that? The door is not closed, what if someone steals your shoes?!"

"Huh?! Is this little Naruto?!"

Naruto turned around with a bitter face and swallowed hard.
Jingyin, who had just taken off her shoes and had only her bare feet wrapped in delicate black stockings, ran over.

Tsunade cleared her throat and adopted a serious teacher's tone.
"Shizune, I accept Naruto as my disciple. Naruto will be your junior brother from now on!"

"You two should get along well with each other in the future!"

Shizune, who was tall and slender and wore a black-gray robe with a fishnet lining underneath, had a pure face full of joy. She stretched out her right hand and pinched Naruto's little face.

"I never thought you'd really become my junior apprentice, Naruto! If Lady Nono knew, she'd be happy too!"

Naruto, whose face was deformed by the pinch, felt something in his heart, Yakushi Nono!
Danzo has been quiet lately, probably because he was warned by Sarutobi Hiruzen after the Root attacked him last time. I wonder when Danzo will take action against Yakushi Nono, the rebellious and disobedient former Root elite!

In the original novel, it seems that Kabuto Yakushi may still be a spy in the Sand Village at this time.

Danzo deliberately confused Nono Yakushi's memory of Kabuto Yakushi by forging photos of Kabuto Yakushi's growth.

He can control top civilian talents like Kabuto Yakushi through his mother, the dean of the school.

And maybe I can even get in touch with Orochimaru... He's a great scientist in the ninja world.

"Puyou Puyou~"

A pink piglet with a pearl necklace in Shizune's arms made a noise that attracted Naruto's attention, and he touched its head.

This piglet is Tsunade's pet, but it is not an ordinary piglet. It is similar to Kakashi's ninja dog Puck, a ninja pig with a keen sense of smell.

The pig's face showed an anthropomorphic look of enjoyment.

Tsunade laughed heartily and said, "I didn't expect that on our first meeting, Naruto, you're quite liked by Tuntun!"

"Shizune, go get a live fish."

Tsunade said to Shizune, Shizune was stunned for a moment, then reacted.

Are we going to start teaching Naruto medical ninjutsu now? Isn't it too soon, Naruto is still so young.

A child of this age probably doesn't have enough chakra to perform ordinary B-level ninjutsu, not to mention medical ninjutsu which is more difficult to operate and requires continuous, stable and targeted chakra output!
But as Tsunade's disciple for so many years.

Although Shizune would supervise Tsunade like a housekeeper when she had some minor problems, such as drinking, gambling, laziness and slacking off.

In most other official matters, he is a hardworking secretary.

Soon, a living carp was placed in front of Tsunade, flapping its wings from time to time.

Tsunade grabbed the carp and slammed it against the wall, and the carp, which was originally lively and energetic, immediately became half dead.

However, the fish's eyes, which were wide open as if it had died, flashed with a strange light.

Naruto looked at Tsunade who deliberately chose to hurt the fish by smashing it instead of cutting it with a knife, and thought about it.
It seems that Tsunade's hemophobia is as serious as in the original work. In the original work, Tsunade experienced the death of her younger brother Nawaki at her hands.

The sticky, fishy, ​​and glaring blood on her hands caused her extremely severe psychological shock and trauma. Whenever she saw similar scenes thereafter, it would bring back extremely painful memories.

From then on, Tsunade basically entered a stage of sealing her heart and burying her love, relying on alcohol and gambling to numb herself and escape from reality.

Now the only important thing in Tsunade's heart, apart from the village, is probably her personal maid Shizune who has always been by her side. She is her disciple on the surface, but in reality, she is like a daughter to her!
As a newly accepted disciple, I'm afraid I haven't really entered Tsunade's heart yet.

Tsunade, who suffers from hemophobia and is a disgrace to medical ninjas, is not what Naruto, the man behind Hokage, wants to see.

It seems that we must find a way to help Tsunade overcome her hemophobia...

Tsunade put her hands on her hips, her delicate face stern as she taught with a serious expression.
