Playing as Passerby A from Naruto

"I heard that you met Naruto at noon?"

The third generation looked at the guy in front of him who could be said to be his disciple, with a somewhat complicated expression on his face.

"Yeah, nice little guy."

Shiyuan looked at Sandai calmly and said softly.

"You're blaming me, aren't you?"

"if not?"

Shi Yuan's eyes condensed slightly.

The air seemed to have a premonition of something, and became silent and thick. The sound of the wind gradually disappeared, and a depressing atmosphere continued to sweep around.

"Old man, I have recently developed a few new ninjutsu, do you want to try them?"

After a long time, Shi Yuan raised one hand to signal the third generation across from him, with an expectant tone.

"it is good!"

A smile appeared on Sandai's old face.

boom!

As soon as he finished speaking, the ground under Yoshidai's feet suddenly exploded, and red and hot magma shot into the sky.

A magma dragon made of molten energy chased the three generations who jumped away, and the high temperature continued to distort the space.

Although Sandai does most things well, he is not perfect, so mistakes are inevitable.

But when it comes to Naruto, the Third Generation is indeed a bit unkind.

Watching a child who is clearly the son of a hero being used as an outlet for many people to vent their anger?

The surging chakra continued to circulate in the body, and Shi Yuan had no scruples in taking action this time.

The superb melting escape skills are the basis of Shiyuan's attack. It seems that the third generation can only passively dodge under such attacks.

Squinting his eyes, Shi Yuan noticed the movements of the third generation.

Then, a fire dragon shot out from the opponent's back and collided with his Melting Style.

Flames and magma fell all over the ground like petals.

Zizi!

"I don't think you're the Hokage, old man!"

Covered in lava, he looks like the big guy from the Fantastic Four.

With a whooshing sound, Shi Yuan left a red afterimage on the spot and then disappeared.

Appearing again, he had arrived in front of the third generation.

The third generation didn't seem to expect that Shi Yuan would be so fast, but due to his strength and experience, he still responded.

Earth Escape instantly rose from under his feet, layer by layer, like the strongest defense blocking the source of time.

One punch!

Shi Yuan's seemingly light punch shattered all the Tudun, and the third generation was also shocked by the aftermath, and was instantly knocked away.

With one successful blow, Shi Yuan's figure continued to flash in the air.

Although Sandai was knocked away, he still regained control of his body in a short period of time.

As a result, the two of them kept colliding in the air.

Every collision was accompanied by a loud noise, and even lava fragments carrying magma fell to the ground.

This is the Sarutobi family's training ground No. [-].

But because of the battle between Shiyuan and Sandai, this place has changed drastically.

It was as if it had experienced an air raid, earthquake, or other formation that could completely change the landscape.

whoosh whoosh--

Several black shadows appeared near the training ground. They were ANBU and the shadow guards responsible for protecting Naruto. They were amulets that could step forward to protect Naruto from danger at critical moments.

"That rascal……"

One of them looked at Shiyuan, who was fighting back and forth with the third generation on the field, and uttered half a sentence under his mask.

Because of the Third Generation, they paid more attention to Sarutobi Tokigen, but his own strength was still at the level of a jounin.

But at this time, they all felt a little ridiculous when they saw the third generation chasing him in the field, as if the third generation was the source of his enemy.

"This may be why the third generation values ​​him."

Another ANBU answered.

"A melting escape with such intensity is worthy of a guy with a reward of 500 million in the underground bounty house."

"Before, I thought it was because I destroyed Kumogakure's logistics line that I was given such a high reward, but now..."

"Stop talking nonsense, check the surrounding situation and make sure no irrelevant people enter."

"Don't look, there's only one old man around."

At this moment, another strange voice sounded in the ears of several Anbu.

Their bodies trembled, and they all looked warily towards the direction from which the sound came.

He was an old man, the kind who looked like he might die at any moment.

He seems to be an old man from the Sarutobi family?

The ANBU stared at the other party, wondering why the other party didn't notice the slightest abnormality even when he was close.

He obviously looks like such an ordinary guy.

"I am Sarutobi Hinawa, just a retired old guy, so there is no need to be afraid."

Sarutobi Nichirin, or the 'Second Master' as Shiyuan kept calling him, was holding a homemade grass cigarette in his mouth and looking expectantly at the two fighting over there.

"We never seem to hear your name."

The ANBU still looked at the old man in front of him with some uneasiness, but he did have an impression of his appearance in his memory, as if he was the gatekeeper at the training ground outside.

They looked at each other warily, mainly because the other party had just approached them silently, giving them quite a shock.

All of them were jounin, and even though they were a little careless just now, they didn't get close just because they said they were close.

But in front of me, this old man who looked much older than the Sandaime actually did it.

"Oh, the old man retired relatively early. Maybe I would already be guarding the gate here while you were still in school."

Rilun smashed his mouth, and thick white smoke spread from his nostrils.

"Don't be so formal! I'm not using seniority to suppress you. After all, Hiruzen just calls me Nichirin-nii when he sees me, and there's nothing else."

The smoke blurred his face, and he sighed again, then ignored the ANBU's reaction and concentrated on watching the battle in the field.

Anbu was speechless for a moment.

He said that there is no need to pressure people by seniority, but then he added that even the third generation must call you brother, so does the bad taste get worse as people get older?

Seeing that Nichirin didn't do anything unnecessary, and the other party's identity seemed to be the same thing, the ANBU no longer dwelled on the matter.

They first looked at the battle on the field, then exchanged glances, and then dispersed to four locations on the training ground.

"rise!"

A transparent membrane rose in vain, and the invisible force surrounded the training ground inside.

This isn't anything powerful, it's just a simple barrier that can isolate sounds and have a certain level of protection.

The battle between Shiyuan and the third generation became more and more intense, and the momentum of the battle became louder and louder. In order not to cause unnecessary trouble, the ANBU had no choice but to raise a barrier to cover up the situation here.

"The younger generations of the Sarutobi family are really getting more and more powerful!"

The second uncle guarding the door looked at Shi Yuan with a happy smile on his face.

Shi Yuan's growth was beyond his imagination.

He still remembered that two or three years ago, Shi Yuan was so weak that it seemed like he, an old man, could be knocked down with one punch.

But now, the opponent is already capable of fighting the Sandaime, who is apparently the strongest ninja in the village.

The first time he met Shi Yuan, he noticed Shi Yuan's rare qualities, so he was full of expectations.

And Shi Yuan did not disappoint him.

boom!

There was another loud noise in the field.

The two figures quickly separated.

"Let's go! There seems to be no need to continue reading. I don't know what happened. Shi Yuan seems to be very angry?"

When the second uncle saw this, he immediately turned around and left. His hunched back was obviously moving very slowly, but he disappeared from the Anbu's gaze in a very short period of time.

In place, only a piece of cigarette butt remained.

The battle between Shiyuan and Sandai did not last long.

A few minutes after Mr. Nichiwa left, the two fought several more times and ended in a hurry.

The battle was naturally fruitless, but Shi Yuan also let out all the anger in his heart.

As for the third generation, it achieved two purposes. One was to let Shi Yuan vent his anger, and the other was to test Shi Yuan's strength in disguise.

After the battle was over, Shi Yuan didn't look at the third generation twice, packed up his things and turned around to leave.

The third generation also spoke out to stop it.

He understood Shi Yuan's character relatively well.

Although Shiyuan looks like a very cold person, he actually has a gentleness in his heart that most ninjas don't have.

Ever since he teamed up with Kai to clear each other's name, Sandai knew what kind of person Shiyuan was.

Today, when Tokihara met Naruto, the third generation had a premonition of something.

As the Hokage, it's natural for him to be unaware of Naruto's situation.

As for the rumors about Naruto, he naturally knew who spread them, and after much thinking, he acquiesced in those rumors.

Although some of the words sounded unpleasant, it was true that rumors protected Naruto in a certain way.

And that was also a compromise made by the third generation towards Danzo. It was much better to endure rumors than to get into the root.

"Lord Hokage!"

An fell to the Sandaime's side.

"Take care of this place. Don't tell anyone what happened today. It's just a normal sparring session."

The third generation swept across the ruins of the training ground and ordered in a calm tone.

"Yes!"

The ANBU nodded in agreement.

Sandai did not continue to speak, turned and walked outside.

The Anbu who stayed on the spot looked at each other in shock, because they saw that the third generation's chest was scorched black, and the outer response robe was already in tatters, revealing the combat uniform underneath.

They recalled in their minds the scene when Sarutobi Shigen left just now. The other party seemed not to have a single scratch on his body.

The results of such a comparison are somewhat surprising.

After leaving, Shi Yuan quickly came to the gate of the training ground, whereupon he saw the second uncle sitting on a small bench at the door smoking a cigarette.

Although he was very involved in fighting the third generation just now, he also noticed that the old man was also there.

"Boy Shi Yuan, although I don't know why you look so angry, this is not the reason for you to vent your anger on an old man."

Rilun looked at Shiyuan and said.

Shi Yuan didn't answer. The round of battle with the third generation just now was indeed meant to vent his anger, but during the battle, he did want to understand something.

Although the third generation must bear the responsibility for Naruto's incident, it is indeed not entirely responsible.

"After sitting in that position, many things are beyond your control. Young people still have to be considerate of the old guy. However, if you still feel dissatisfied, you can choose other ways to solve the problem, such as becoming the patriarch of the Sarutobi family. Or Naruto?"

Sun Lunba chirped and puffed out smoke, seeming to be encouraging Shi Yuan.

"Ok!"

Shi Yuan was stunned for a moment, then looked at the old man in front of him seriously.

"I'm leaving now. I have a mission tomorrow. Let's talk next time."

Noticing that the third generation seemed to be walking this way, Shi Yuan did not intend to stay any longer.

Although some of the dissatisfaction with the third generation had been relieved after this battle, it was obviously inappropriate to sit down and talk together just after the fight.

So Shi Yuan decided to leave first.

"Hey! Hokage-sama! What happened to you, were you beaten?"

Nichirin waved his hand to signal Shiyuan to leave, and then quickly looked at the third generation who was following behind, so he shouted with some surprise.

The third generation showed some dumbfounded expressions.

"Hilun, give me a cigarette."

"Since I became Hokage, I haven't heard you call me brother for a long time, tsk tsk!"

As he spoke, Ri Lun handed over a grass cigarette.

The third generation was stunned, and his mouth moved a few times: "Brother Nichirin!"

He and Nichiwa were not biological brothers, but because they came from the same family and the other was older than him, they had always been called brother before.

However, Hinawa had been talking to him like this for a long time since he was injured in a mission many years ago and could no longer continue to be a ninja.

"That kid's growth rate is really amazing. Even your three former disciples may not be able to match it!"

The two little old men were sitting on small benches and talking.

"Yes, in just three years or how long, he has grown to this point. The Sarutobi clan finally has another ninja who can support the family's face."

Smashing his mouth, the cigarette in Sandaime's mouth kept getting shorter.

"It's true, you're getting old, and finally someone new appears." Hiwa smiled, "You know what happened today. Since I came here to guard the house, I have barely understood what's happening in the village."

"This matter is indeed my fault. Do you remember the fourth generation of children?"

Sandai said with a grimace.

"Well, I saw that little guy last time I was fishing by the river."

"There are some things you did not be kind enough. No wonder that boy Shi Yuan is angry."

"I know."

Smoke rose, but the eyes of the two old men were still intertwined.

After returning home, Shi Yuan lay down on the sofa a little tired.

"Kimaru! Kimaru!"

After two low roars, Kimaru, who was holding a large piece of meat and tearing it apart, could only raise his head and look over.

"Every time I don't see you when I go home, I feel a little disappointed. Can't you, a heartless person, wait at the door in advance?"

Looking at Ximaru's eyes, Shi Yuan laughed and cursed.

"Ow!"

Facing Shiyuan's gaze, Ximaru howled, and then looked down at the bones and flesh under his claws.

Its limited brain couldn't fully understand Shi Yuan's mood at this moment, so it thought the meat in its hand was more attractive than Shi Yuan.

Seeing that the silly Kimaru ignored him, Shiyuan immediately put his hands under his head and looked at the ceiling.

The meaning he wanted to convey to the third generation had been conveyed through the battle just now.

A resolute attitude that can be expressed in all aspects.

After calming down at this time, Shi Yuan was almost able to understand some of Sandai's thoughts.

But understanding is understanding. Although he has passed the age of thinking that the world is black and white, he still believes in the existence of light.

Some people do things that are really despised, but Shi Yuan doesn't mind asking them to make changes.

After lying down for a while, Shi Yuan sat up again.

In the battle with the third generation, he did not suffer any obvious injuries. Although this was partly due to the third generation's holding back, it was more due to his own resilience.

The power of Shennong's secret technique will make him become more and more powerful!

After going through the things and steps that might be needed for the next task in his mind, Shi Yuan spent some time packing everything up.

Kimaru is older now, so he doesn't need to be left to anyone to take care of him. When the time comes, he will give instructions to Miyoko and his wife downstairs and everything will be basically done.

In addition, Shiyuan has nothing to worry about and worry about in other aspects.

Late at night, Shi Yuan fell asleep.

And just a few streets away, something happened that he didn't know about.

Naruto was lying on the bed, with a bag of snacks on the table beside him, which naturally came from Shiyuan.

Although he is only three years old, Naruto is so mature that it makes people feel pathetic.

He has lived on his own since his caregiver left when he was about two years old.

Although there are problems in life from time to time, he still has the basic abilities.

At this time, after washing up and putting on his pajamas, Naruto's mind kept replaying the dream-like experiences that happened today.

There was one more person in the village who had a good impression of him, which made him feel that everything in the world seemed to be better.

dong dong!

Someone knocked on the door, and Naruto was a little surprised.

Why is there still someone looking for him at this time?

Although he thought this, Naruto still climbed out of bed and walked to the door.

"Who's outside?"

His third-generation grandfather taught him some common sense, such as not trusting strangers casually and opening the door to strangers.

"Naruto-chan, it's me."

An old and familiar voice sounded, and Naruto was shocked.

It’s a third-generation grandfather!

Crunch--

Naruto quickly opened the door.

"Three generations of grandfathers!"

He shouted to the door in a surprised tone, and Naruto looked at the Sandaime with his eyes shining.

"Hey, little Naruto!"

When the Sandaime met Naruto's pure eyes, he felt a little confused.

So, he put his hand on Naruto's head and touched it kindly.

"Come in, Third Generation Grandpa, I have snacks here, they were given to me by a big brother!"

Naruto took the Sandaime's hand and got into the house, then pulled up a chair with difficulty and motioned for the Sandaime to sit down. Then he went into the bedroom and took out all the snacks that Tokimoto gave him in the afternoon and put them on the table in front of the Sandaime.

"Ah."

The third generation sat on the chair, his eyes kept staring at Naruto and kept moving. There was a faint light in the deep-set eye sockets. He didn't know whether it was the lamp above his head or tears.

"Grandpa Third Generation, what's wrong with you? Your clothes are burnt."

After placing the snacks in front of the third generation, Naruto saw the situation of the third generation's grandfather.

"It's okay. Someone was trying to reason with me just now. I was punished because I lost."

Sandai pulled Naruto to sit in front of him and put an arm around Naruto's shoulders affectionately.

"Is this so? But aren't you, Third Generation Grandpa, the Hokage? Will the Hokage still be punished?"

Naruto raised his head and looked at the face of the third generation with a puzzled look on his face.

"Of course, Hokage will make mistakes, and mistakes will naturally require punishment."

The third generation looked at Naruto with a complicated expression.

After fighting Tokigen and talking to Hinawa for a while, he wandered near Naruto's house.

After lingering for a long time, he finally knocked on the door.

"Oh, that's what it is. If you know your mistakes and correct them, you are still a good person. This is what you said, third generation grandfather."

Naruto continued.

"Ah."

The third generation found that he could not look directly into Naruto's eyes. The pure eyes made him feel extremely guilty.

So he looked away.

"Grandpa Third Generation, let's have something to eat."

Naruto picked up the snacks from the table and handed them to Sandai, who reached out to take them and held them in his hand.

[Reading to get cash] Follow vx public. Public account [Book Friends Base Camp], you can also get cash for reading!

"How was your day?"

The third generation didn't eat, but held the snack in his hand tightly and asked Naruto.

"I'm very happy today! Although I was a little sad because of the rain at first, I met a very nice big brother."

"Did he also give these candies?"

"Of course, I also went to my eldest brother's house to play for a while in the afternoon. He also has a very smart dog."

Naruto was extremely happy and told the third generation about his day's experience as if showing off.

"Okay, pretty good."

The third generation patted Naruto on the shoulder, with a smile on his face, and his old face seemed several years younger.

"Naruto, grandpa knows that many people in the village are prejudiced against you, and grandpa also knows that you are a kind person."

The third generation rubbed the candy in his hand, "So, I hope you don't care about other people's opinions, and grandpa will try his best to create a good growth environment for you."

"Grandpa Third Generation, haven't you always been very kind to me?"

Naruto raised his head in confusion.

"Good boy!"

Sandai only felt that his dry eyes seemed to become moist.

"Go to rest early. Grandpa will come see you tomorrow."

The third generation glanced at the cup noodles left by Naruto not far away, and then stood up from the chair and turned his back to Naruto.

"Oh, okay, then I'll keep the snacks and eat them when you, Third Generation Grandpa, come tomorrow!"

Naruto put down the candy he had peeled off in his hand, and then tied the bag containing the snacks.

"it is good."

The third generation was obviously not old enough to walk, but at this moment, he was still touched by Naruto's simple thoughts, so his body was trembling slightly when he walked towards the door.

boom!

Sandai hid his body in the darkness outside and said goodbye to Naruto who sent him away, then closed the door.

After standing blankly at the door for a long time, Sandai finally sighed and turned towards the stairs.

At this time, the only thing left in his mind was the last words Yondaime said to him that night.

'Sandaime, Naruto will be left to you! '

Walking on the path home, the cold night wind kept Sandai's mind clear.

Where no one is paying attention, the third generation has a complicated expression and dark eyes.

Maybe it was Shi Yuan, maybe it was himself. Anyway, he had obviously realized that he seemed to have done something wrong.

Not to mention that repentance is so extreme, Sandai felt it was time to make some changes.

Soon, returning to the dark home, Sandai sat down on a chair with a lonely expression.

He was the only one left in the family since Asuma ran away from home.

As for the eldest son and daughter-in-law, they do not live with him.

But when he thought of his daughter-in-law, he thought of his soon-to-be-born grandson.

The son and daughter-in-law worked in ANBU all year round, so few people remembered them, but they were pregnant early and were about to give birth to the third generation of children for Sarutobi.

A few days ago, he sent his eldest son to the Country of Rain to investigate the situation.

Hanzo, the leader of the Rain Country, seems to have not shown up for a long time. There are many unfounded rumors circulating in the ninja world, so he hopes to find some evidence to confirm some rumors.

Feeling a little uneasy, Sandai suddenly remembered that his son had come back within the next two days as planned, but no news came back.

The due date was in the second half of the month, and he had a bad feeling in his heart.

But soon, this kind of thinking disappeared, and he began to think about some recent events in the village.

Regarding the upcoming Kumogakure mission, Uchiha who has been obviously restless recently, and three other old friends who seemed to maintain a united front in several meetings.
