The shadow of the fourth generation of hokage

As soon as he fastened his sword belt, Kamano saw Genzo running over happily holding a blue forehead protector, and kept shouting: "Hey Kamano, I passed the exam, I passed the exam !!Ha ha ha ha!!"

"This is just the beginning, little brother.. Biquge", Kamano came over and tied Genzo's forehead protector while saying: "If I guess correctly, there will be an ultimate test tomorrow. If we are in this If you fail the test, you will be kicked back to school to retake it!"

"N-Nani?!" Genzo's excited expression suddenly became very stiff. He stared at Kamano in disbelief, as if to confirm whether he was joking, but after a long time, he gave up the idea. , because the latter was obviously speaking very seriously.

"But don't worry, it's just a small test." Kamano put his hand on Genzo's shoulder and said, "Let's go, as a graduation celebration, let's go eat Ichiraku Ramen today!!"

"Huh? The legendary Ichiraku Ramen?!!" Genzo couldn't help but swallowed water after hearing this. Since the Ichiraku Ramen restaurant opened in Konoha six years ago, he has always heard that the boss Ichiraku made it. The ramen is soft and chewy, and the soup base is delicious and delicious. It is known as one of the best delicacies in Konoha.

However, due to financial constraints, Genzo could only imagine the taste of ramen in his heart and did not dare to actually eat it. Now when he heard that Kamano was going to take him to eat Ichiraku Ramen, he was pleasantly surprised and asked worriedly: "But, how can we have any extra money?"

"Ah, I sold my old house in Konoha and I have some money left." Kamano said calmly.

"Huh? You sold that house??!! But, that's the only legacy your parents left you, how do you—"

“If you don’t sell your house, how can you have money to pay for school fees?”

"Nani?? It turns out that the money we earn from part-time jobs is not enough for tuition?!"

"Nonsense, that Yamazaki Susumu is not a philanthropist. The little salary he gave is enough for our basic necessities. It is impossible to use it to pay tuition."

"Could it be that... the money from selling the house... was all used... to pay for the six years of... tuition... Kamano... I... I... was so stupid, I actually thought that the fees for the ninja school were a one-time fee! Damn it!!" Genzo said with shame and annoyance.

"It doesn't matter, money is a thing outside of the body, what you don't bring with you when you die, and the important thing is that you and I have become ninjas now, and we can accept tasks to earn money!"

As Kamano said, seeing that they had already arrived at the Yile Ramen Restaurant, he patted Genzo, signaling that he should not care about these things, and then raised two fingers and shouted to Uncle Yile: "Boss, two luxurious seafood miso ramen !"

"Yoshi, please wait a moment." Uncle Ichiraku responded and began to work. After a while, two large bowls of fragrant super seafood miso ramen came out of the pot.

"Then let's get started!" The delicious food soothed Genzo's mood. He stretched out his hand to rub his chopsticks, growled, and began to eat the ramen with his head "sucking, sucking, sucking".

Kamano also rubbed the chopsticks away in a similar manner, picked out a wisp of ramen and put it into his mouth. He immediately felt extremely smooth, and a strong fragrance of seafood and ramen bloomed in his mouth.

"No wonder Naruto loves eating Ichiraku Ramen so much!" Kamano thought to himself while devouring the ramen, "Whoever has been eating expired milk and stale bread since childhood would love it so much. Yu Yile Ramen Bar!

Moreover, Uncle Yile will not be like other villagers in Konoha, who will cast blank eyes and indifferent attitude towards Naruto. "

Thinking of this, Kamano suddenly realized a problem, so he swallowed the ramen in his mouth in three gulps, and turned to ask Genzo: "Genzo, do you know about a child named Uzumaki Naruto?"

"Well, he's a bit of a domestic kid. He likes to cause trouble in Konoha. Everyone in the village yells at him. He seems to be a nasty guy who likes to play pranks." Genzo said while eating ramen.

"So Naruto has already started his miserable childhood..." Kamano murmured to himself.

"What's wrong Kamano? Why are you suddenly asking that guy?" Genzo put down his chopsticks and asked after burping.

"Naruto is Si... the son of my savior, I should naturally pay more attention to him, but I have been busy practicing for the past few years, so I almost forgot about it."

After Kamano finished speaking, he also put down his chopsticks, and asked Uncle Ichiraku for another miso char siew tonkotsu ramen, and after paying the bill, he asked Genzo to go back first, and then walked straight towards the Konoha civilian area.

Thanks to the miraculous perception, Kamano easily sensed an evil chakra breath that is obviously different from that of humans, which is exactly what the nine tails in Naruto's body emanate.

So Kamano slowly moved to Naruto's position, thinking in his mind how and why he should contact Naruto?

But suddenly, he stopped, because he clearly noticed from his perception that there were several ANBU members hidden around Naruto - they seemed to be protecting, and they seemed to be monitoring. Kamano didn't know clearly. The only thing he knew now was , he should not be able to contact Naruto.

Perhaps, the Sandaime Sarutobi Hiruzen is also watching Naruto's every move with a crystal ball in the Hokage Tower. Maybe part of it is to protect Naruto, but more of it should be monitoring to prevent the Nine-Tails from going berserk!

At this time, Kamano suddenly felt sympathetic to the third Sarutobi Hirzen, and for the sake of Konoha, he made a compromise and allowed Shimura Dan to hide in Hokage's direct army-Anbu to develop a root organization;

He also turned a blind eye to Danzo Shimura's secret collusion with Orochimaru and the machinations to win the position of Hokage. He completely lost his sense of the past when he took over the burden of Konoha from the second Hokage Senju Tobirama. The high spirits of the time——

In short, the third Hokage Hiruzaru Sarutobi is old, and has more than enough energy for many things, and he can barely support Konoha so that he will not be torn apart by Shimura Danzo.

"Sorry Yondaime, I can't take care of your son now." Kamano sighed in his heart, then walked towards the back mountain with the ramen.

However, when turning the corner at the intersection, Kamano saw a 5- or 6-year-old blond child walking towards the civilian area across the street from a distance. Although his back was turned to him, Kamano recognized the blond boy immediately The child is Uzumaki Naruto:

His thin body was wearing an old white shirt with the Konoha Uzumaki logo painted on the back, and he was wearing a pair of dirty orange shorts.

In addition, on the big head that is slightly out of proportion with the thin body, there is also a dark green goggles, and I don’t know where they came from.

Naruto Uzumaki was walking alone on Konoha Street like that, with his two little hands in his pockets, his head raised up looking at the sky, while he was kicking pebbles with his two feet.

The villagers on both sides of the road looked at Naruto with contempt, and their eyes showed disgust and hatred without concealment. The originally bustling crowd also became silent when Naruto passed by.

The slanting sun in the evening shone on the leaves, making Naruto Uzumaki's shadow very long, just like his lonely and thin body, which seemed out of place with the surroundings.

Soon, Naruto's figure disappeared little by little at the end of the street. Kamano sighed and looked away, carrying the already cold tonkotsu ramen and walking towards the cabin in the forest...
