Hokage Building.
In Sarutobi Hiruzen's office.
Several ANBU ninjas knelt down on one knee and told Hiruzen everything that had happened.
Zephyr and Naruto met in the woods, and not only helped Naruto out of trouble, but also offered to treat Naruto to Ichiraku Ramen.
Naruto was so excited that he even had the idea of becoming a disciple of Kazufeng.
Logically speaking, this matter is actually no big deal.
Although children in Konoha can choose to go to ninja schools to learn knowledge, there are also ways to teach ninja by recruiting disciples.
Treating Naruto to ramen was not something worth making a fuss about.
But……
Considering Zefeng, Naruto's identity.
It will inevitably not make people think too much.
One was an Uchiha genius who had just served as the deputy captain of the Konoha Police Department and used a tough attitude to deal with Danzo.
One is the orphan of the Fourth Hokage, with the most powerful tailed beast, the Nine-Tails, sealed within his body.
This meeting was actually a meeting between the most ambitious man in the Uchiha clan and Konoha's most powerful humanoid weapon!
And Naruto is only five years old now.
The three views have not yet been fully formed.
It would be fine if Zefeng had no other ideas, but what if he wanted to take advantage of Naruto...
Just thinking about it gave Hiruzen a headache.
"Zefeng, that brat, just took out Danzo, and then he hooked up with Naruto."
"Who would believe that he has no other thoughts at all..."
Hiruzen sat on the chair and fell into deep thought.
But, you can't attack Zefeng just because he is close to Naruto, right?
Even if it is suppression, there must at least be a reasonable excuse.
On the other hand, the storm over the death of the Kumo ninja leader in Konoha is not over yet.
The Lei Ying of Yunyin Village asked someone to send a letter.
I hope that I, the Hokage, can sit down and discuss this matter carefully.
It cannot be said that there are no internal and external troubles.
"If we attack the Uchiha clan at this time, the Raikage might seize the opportunity."
Hiruzen put the pipe in his mouth, took a deep breath, and slowly exhaled a cloud of smoke.
No……
Maybe it's not that simple.
Is there a possibility.
Is Hefeng using Raikage, an external enemy, to create various opportunities for himself?
In an instant, Sarutobi Hiruzen had an idea.
Thinking back on it carefully, wasn't it Uchiha and Kazuki who was responsible for the murder of the Kumo ninja?
The person who prevented the Hyuga clan from handing over Hizashi was also Zephyr.
Is it possible...
From the very beginning, Zephyr used Raikage as his pawn.
So many things happened as a result?
call……
Thinking of this, Hiruzen's old skin couldn't help but lose a trace of color.
Destroy the peace agreement between Konohagakure and Kumogakure.
Use external contradictions to contain internal contradictions.
Then use a vigorous and resolute approach to eliminate internal enemies one by one.
"No, it's impossible."
But soon, Hiruzen shook his head.
I mentally denied such an idea.
Zephyr is not a god.
How is it possible to account for every step of development?
What if the Cloud Ninja Village didn't hold Hinata hostage?
What if Danzo didn't have the idea of taking Shisui?
The development of the whole thing is described as a Japanese layout.
It's a bit far-fetched.
No matter how powerful the Sharingan of the Uchiha clan is, it is impossible to predict the future.
You can't say that that guy Zefeng is some kind of time traveler.
Do you have a thorough understanding of future development?
How could there be such a person in this world?
Based on this or that relationship...
Hiruzen still felt that these were just coincidences.
Rather than Ze Feng's calculation.
Including this time Zefeng and Naruto had an intersection.
It's also possible that I'm too nervous.
Thinking of this, Hiruzen's tense nerves relaxed a little.
But it hasn't completely eased.
Because whether it is a coincidence or a calculation.
For the sake of the stability of Konoha, Naruto, a Jinchuuriki, should not be allowed to get too close to the Uchiha family.
"In short, continue to monitor Naruto's daily life to ensure his safety."
"At the same time, don't disturb Naruto's life."
"Just let him grow up happily."
"As for Zefeng's side..."
Hiruzen thought for a moment, and it was not easy to break up with Zefeng at this time.
What if Kumogakure really declares war on Konoha Village?
Then Zephyr, and the Uchiha behind him, will be Konoha's important fighting force against foreign enemies.
Actually...
In the original work, a large part of the reason why Konoha's high-level officials were able to take a risk and eliminate the root causes was because peace was restored in the ninja world.
But now there is the threat of Yunyin Village.
Regarding Uchiha and Kaze's attitude, Hiruzen had to temporarily compromise.
"Let Ebisu replace Zefeng as Naruto's personal tutor."
After some thought, Hiruzen decided to let the elite teacher Ebisu teach Naruto ninjutsu.
Although Ebisu's strength is a little worse than that of Kaifeng, he is still someone he can trust.
If Naruto is with him, at least he won't be led astray.
No matter what the future of Konoha Village is.
Naruto must inherit the will of fire.
"yes!"
The ANBU ninjas who were kneeling on one knee responded neatly and then disappeared.
at the same time……
Zephyr took Naruto and Sasuke to the center of the village, opened the curtain of Ichiraku Ramen, and led the two of them inside.
"welcome."
The sound of beating hands was heard.
It was customary to greet guests, but he caught sight of Naruto.
He felt happy at first.
But then he noticed that Zephyr and Sasuke seemed to have come with Naruto.
This kind of thing is quite novel.
Especially Sasuke's age, he looks to be about the same age as Naruto.
"Uncle Hand Beat! Let's have a bowl of ramen!"
Naruto took three steps at a time and sat on the chair at the bar with a small jump. Then he turned around and wiped the chair next to him, and finally patted it with his little hand, "Brother Zephyr, come on!"
"You guys only know how to order ramen for yourself." Seeing this, Sasuke complained angrily and stretched out two fingers to his hand, "Two bowls of ramen!"
In an instant, Naruto and Sasuke looked at each other, their eyes facing each other, sparks of fighting spirit in their eyes.
"Hahaha, it seems our Naruto has made a new friend."
He crossed his arms and raised a happy smile.
All this time, Naruto came to eat ramen alone.
Very few friends come with him.
Now seeing Sasuke by Naruto's side, Handai was also happy from the bottom of his heart.
"Well, to celebrate Naruto making a new friend, today's ramen will be given away for free!"
But the next second...
Naruto and Sasuke replied in unison, "We are not friends!"
It can be said that there is a perfect tacit understanding.
Look at the attitudes of the two of them.
Zephyr followed the hand, and was stunned for a moment, then showed a knowing smile.
Then, Tejida turned around and started making ramen.
Zephyr pulled out a chair and sat between Naruto and Sasuke.
In a short time, three bowls of ramen were skillfully cooked by hand and placed one by one in front of Zefeng and others.
The result can be imagined...
Except Zefeng slowly picked up the chopsticks.
As soon as Sasuke and Naruto took the ramen, they started devouring it.
And while they were devouring it, there was no ramen in their eyes, only each other.
