Naruto: I open a pet shop in the Ninja world.

Chi Qing's expression was serious and his tone was solemn, and he didn't seem to be lying.

This reason made the Third Hokage unable to refute, and he couldn't help but smile: "I am looking forward to the day you open your business."

He even thought that this job was unexpectedly suitable for the child: "You can have a good rest in this room today. No one will disturb you."

This is the Hokage's room after all, and normally no one would enter without permission.

"Thank you, Grandpa Sarutobi." In fact, Chi Qing wanted to take Naruto back to his own home, or back to Minato's home.

But Naruto had been running around outside for quite a while, so resting here was the best arrangement.

……

Chi Qing, who had been lying down for a long time, didn't feel like sleeping at all.

He looked closely at the sleeping little Naruto.

Perhaps because he knew there was someone by his side, little Naruto slept particularly soundly.

The little face was red, and because the Nine-Tails was sealed, there were three whisker-like marks on both cheeks.

"She does look more like Sister-in-law Kushina." He lay on his side and gently held little Naruto in his arms.

"I will do my best to protect you and will never let you be alone again in this life." Chi Qing, who is already an adult mentally, certainly does not have any pressure in raising children.

But there was no way to bring Naruto with him at the moment, so Chi Qing had other plans.

……

The next day.

A group of people gathered in the Hokage's office in the Hokage Building early in the morning.

A group of...very old people.

Naruto has been placed in an orphanage to be taken care of.

And Chi Qing was standing in the middle. Even if the Third Hokage was responsible for this matter, he should at least give an explanation.

"We can't just let this matter go." Danzo narrowed his eyes and looked at Chi Qing who was standing in the middle. In his eyes, this young man was just like an ant.

But there is a bit of the shadow of the Fourth Hokage on him which is really annoying.

"As Naruto's last relative, I think Chi Qing's behavior is excusable." The third generation sighed: "They are the only descendants of the Namikaze family left."

The Namikaze clan has made contributions to Konoha for generations, and Minato has become the Hokage, so he has a certain prestige.

Sarutobi continued, "He just went to visit Naruto, and when he found that Naruto was not in good condition, he took Naruto away without permission. If we hold him responsible for such a small matter, wouldn't that be too cold-blooded and ruthless?"

Most of the other elderly people were convinced and nodded in agreement.

Danzo really had nothing to say about this, and as Sarutobi played the emotional card and didn't mention the Nine-Tails at all, he could only grit his teeth.

"Chi Qing did do something wrong. He will accept the punishment and follow the arrangements of Lord Hokage." Chi Qing bowed his head and knelt on one knee.

Chi Qing had already said so, so there was no way for Danzo to pursue the matter further.

"Now that you've said that, I'll consider the punishment." Sarutobi nodded, "Since all the elders are here, there is one more thing I need to discuss with you all."

"what's up?"

"Regarding the inheritance of the Fourth Hokage, Minato Namikaze." Sarutobi looked at Chi Qing: "Chi Qing, I believe everyone knows the relationship between him and Minato. All of Minato's assets will be inherited by Chi Qing and Naruto. Before Naruto comes of age, his share will also be managed by Chi Qing."

When Sarutobi mentioned this, Danzo stood up and said, "Hokage, since you have already made the decision, why discuss it?"

Then he slammed the door and left.

If Chi Qing had not existed, Naruto would be the only successor to Minato, but who would care about Naruto who is still a baby and knows nothing?
