Naruto, the time-traveling Naruto has an incredible understanding!.

Looking at the forehead protector, the twelve people were stunned.

It was originally thought that they would have to wait a year before they could get this forehead protection.

Moreover, Sarutobi Hiruzen just said that they now have the status of special Genin.

This identity has never been heard of before.

If it were now, it would be a war time.

Then, the twelve of them would most likely be promoted directly to Genin and then become ninjas who go out to fight.

But now, there is no war, so there is no direct path to becoming a Genin.

This is a special Genin, probably something that Sarutobi Hiruzen came up with on the spur of the moment.

The twelve people stepped forward one by one and took the forehead protectors that belonged to them.

One by one, they were worn in the most suitable position.

This time, the excitement in everyone's eyes could not be faked.

This is because, even if the Ninja family has high requirements, such an achievement will be appreciated.

Everyone left here one after another.

"Naruto, will you still come to my house tonight?!"

Uchiha Sasuke walked up to Uzumaki Naruto, looked at him expectantly and spoke.

"If I came tonight, then it would have come for sure."

Naruto looked serious.

"Ok!"

Sasuke seemed to have heard some nonsense, but didn't react for a moment.

I left here happily with a smile on my face.

"Grandpa Hokage!"

"Are you going to treat me to a meal?!"

Naruto stepped forward and spoke with a silly smile on his face.

He even wiped his saliva exaggeratedly.

"Didn't we just have dinner?!"

"Let's go."

"I'll take you somewhere."

Sarutobi Hiruzen finished speaking and took Naruto away from the ninja school.

Soon, the two arrived at the Memorial Garden.

"This……"

Naruto's body trembled as he looked at the name on the tombstone in front of him.

During this time of getting along with Minato Namikaze and Kushina Uzumaki, Naruto has become accustomed to the fact that these two people are his parents.

"Isn't this the tomb of the Fourth Hokage and his wife?"

"us……?"

Naruto raised his head, his eyes filled with tears.

"Yes, this is the tomb of the Fourth Hokage Minato Namikaze and his wife Uzumaki Kushina."

"Actually, Naruto, now that you know the name of the Yondaime's wife, you should also know your identity, right?!"

Sarutobi Hiruzen spoke carefully.

Although Naruto has already unleashed the Nine-Tails' chakra once, and judging from his performance, he can control it perfectly.

But Sarutobi Hiruzen was still worried.

This time, it was his last test.

If Naruto can really control the Nine-Tails' chakra perfectly, then Sarutobi Hiruzen will start to allocate all resources to Naruto.

"Do not……"

"Everyone in the village has told me that I am a little fox demon!"

"I will not……"

"Grandpa Hokage, I won't be."

"I can not……"

"The Yondaime is the hero who saved the village. Am I not a little fox demon who killed their monster?!"

"impossible……"

Naruto's tears fell as if they were free.

Afterwards, Naruto didn't care about Sarutobi Hiruzen's expression and quickly fled from here.

Watching Naruto walk away, Sarutobi Hiruzen's face was full of helplessness.

Originally, he wanted to use Naruto's identity to bear the negative emotions of the village after the Nine-Tails Rebellion.

At the same time, it can also hide Naruto's identity so that he will not be attacked by enemies from other villages lurking in the village.

Of course, there is also the desire to better control the Jinchūriki.

After doing such a thing, the shock it brought to Naruto was too great.

"Come out."

Sarutobi Hiruzen spoke somewhat helplessly.

"Hokage-sama."

Hatake Kakashi appeared here.

"Kakashi, you heard what happened just now."

"Besides, I told you those things before."

"I'll leave it to you. Can you do it?!"

Sarutobi Hiruzen spoke slowly.

"Instructing a jonin?!"

"still……"

Hatake Kakashi was a little confused.

"Do it as you wish."

"Now, the most appropriate thing is for you to go."

Sarutobi Hiruzen said as he took out his pipe and took a long drag.

"I understand, Hokage-sama."

After saying this, Hatake Kakashi disappeared from here.

By the river.

Naruto sat here with a look of pain and sadness on his face.

Looking at this back, Kakashi Hatake felt a pang of pain in his heart.

When was he so lonely?!

Until that warm smile appeared, and that touch of yellow, like the spring sunshine, warmed him.

Hatake Kakashi walked over and sat down next to Naruto.

"Um!?"

"You are……"

"Hatake Kakashi, you can call me Kakashi-sensei from now on."

Kakashi spoke without waiting for Naruto to finish.

"Kakashi...Sensei!?"

Naruto wiped the tears from his face.

"You...are my father...the disciple of the Yondaime Hokage!?"

Naruto took a deep breath and spoke with a choked voice.

"Yes."

"Do you know anything about me?"

Kakashi Hatake was still a little surprised.

This is just a six-year-old child, how could he know what he went through! ?

Those memories that had been buried deep in his memory and that he had never wanted to touch, began to slowly revive.

"do not know."

"Um... can you... tell me about it?!"

"My father...he..."

Naruto was somewhat unable to continue.

The originally bright eyes were now filled with loneliness and sadness.

"Naruto, you should actually be proud!"

"Your father is a great man."

"Moreover, he is an extremely outstanding Hokage..."

"My father also passed away when I was very young."

"At that time, I also..."

……

Kakashi began to tell about him.

Naruto's eyes became brighter and brighter.

"They are all gone now."

"You...Kakashi-sensei, will you remember them!?"

Naruto spoke slowly.

"meeting."

"However, the clearer my memory is, the more I want to live well."

“Only in this way can we live up to them.”

"So Naruto, you have to be strong too."

"In the future, you will definitely become a ninja as powerful as your father!"

Kakashi said, reaching out and rubbing Naruto's head.

Looking at those blue eyes, he seemed to see the former Minato Namikaze.

At this time, Naruto nodded heavily, and the sad look on his face slowly disappeared...

The Anbu members who were monitoring from a distance disappeared here.

Because this was the last surveillance mission they received.

If there is nothing wrong with Naruto, then there is no need to continue monitoring him.

Next, it was left to Kakashi Hatake to take care of Naruto.

At this moment, a person in the dark slowly sank into the ground and disappeared here...
