Coming out of Ichiraku Ramen, Kanpū and Naruto's stomachs are full, and they are burping while wandering slowly on the street.
Ten minutes later, Naruto suddenly said: "Sensei, I want to visit Hokage Tower."
Kanpū smiled. He guessed that what Naruto really wanted to see should be Minato, but he didn't point it out, and said with a smile: "Okay, let's go."
Naruto's eyes lit up instantly.
Speaking of which, Naruto has always wanted to go to Hokage Tower to see where his father works, but reality does not allow him to do so!
Because he was angry with father this period of time, if he let father see him appearing in Hokage Tower, it would definitely make him think that he was subdued.
If something like this happens, where will he put his face in the future?
Naruto's immature face showed a sadness that he shouldn't have at his age.
But fortunately, he has a teacher now, if he is caught coming there, Naruto can throw everything on his teacher!
Thinking of this, Naruto laughed slyly.
"What are you laughing at?"
Kanpū slapped him on the head.
"Nothing." Naruto raised his head and chuckled.
The two arrived at Hokage Tower after a short walk.
There were people coming and going downstairs in Hokage Tower, but all of them talked softly consciously, so it didn't seem noisy.
When Kanpū and Naruto came here, they stood in a corner consciously, watching the scene in front of them.
"Are they all Shinobi? What are they doing?" Naruto asked.
"Making money to support their family." Kanpū put it simply and to the point.
Naruto seemed to understand, and then asked: "Where does Tou-chan work?"
Kanpū chuckled and said: "Then, let's go in and take a look."
Naruto's eyes lit up, and without saying anything further, he took Kanpū's hand and rushed in.
Entering the Hokage Tower, the two went to the mission hall first, then went to several office rooms next door, and then went to the second and third floors.
Soon, the two arrived at Hokage's Office.
But when he got here, Naruto became entangled, his small face and facial features wrinkled together again, and he was in a dilemma.
"Since we haven't thought about it, let's go to the rooftop to see the scenery first." Kanpū said with a smile.
Naruto nodded.
The rooftop of Hokage Tower is very large and the scenery is excellent. Looking back, the tall Hokage Rock can be seen, looking forward, there's bustling street scene, and farther away are forests, green hills, and blue sky.
But for Naruto, who often goes to Hokage Rock to do bad things, these are barely enough.
Coupled with the fact that he was thinking about his father, Naruto was not very interested with the scene.
Seeing this, Kanpū was about to take him down, when he suddenly found two figures talking sneakily under a house not far from Hokage Tower.
Kanpū glanced at it, but didn't pay much attention, and then led Naruto down the third floor.
Unfortunately, after struggling for a long time, Naruto finally did not choose to enter Hokage's Office.
Kanpū didn't know what the kid at this age was thinking all day long, so he didn't dare to ask, and took Naruto downstairs.
When going down the stairs, Kanpū suddenly noticed that the man approaching them was a bit familiar.
'Thinking about it carefully, isn't he one of the two sneaky figures I saw on the rooftop before?'
'Am I thinking too much?'
Kanpū turned his head slightly and looked at the back of the man.
"Sensei, what are you looking at?" Naruto asked strangely when he noticed that Kanpū suddenly stopped.
"Looking at the bad guys." Kanpū said loudly on purpose.
Hearing the word 'bad guys', Idate, who had a guilty conscience, quickly walked two steps up at a time to the second floor, but he still couldn't control his heartbeat, as it's beating non-stop.
Kanpū smiled when he saw this.
"Sensei, was that person just now a bad guy?" Naruto's eyes lit up, like a fox seeing the prey, looking very excited.
"Shhh!!"
Kanpū hurriedly raised his index finger to signal him softly, and then whispered, "Shall we catch the thief together later?"
Naruto was so excited that he nodded like a chicken pecking at rice.
"Let's go, we'll guard at the side." Kanpū led Naruto to a hidden corner and silently looked at the stairs.
About ten minutes later, Idate quickly walked down the stairs. Although he was neatly dressed, his eyes looked left and right, looking around strangely, which gave people a sense of panic. At first glance, it can be seen that he has a guilty conscience!
Kanpū's hand tightened, but Naruto, who was excited, grabbed his hand tightly: "It's him, it's him."
Naruto called in a low voice.
As someone who is bold, Kanpū said with a smile: "Go, let's follow him."
"Yeah." Naruto flushed with excitement.
Every child fantasizes about becoming a hero, and Naruto is no exception. At this moment, it is his first time catching a thief!
He clutched Kanpū's hand tightly, his eyes filled were shining brightly as he stared at Idate.
Idate has graduated from ninja school for a year or two. It stands to reason that he will quickly notice when Naruto stares at him like this, but at this time, he is a little flustered, so he didn't notice Naruto's fiery gaze.
Walking out for two streets, Idate saw his teacher, Rokusho Aoi, who is standing alone under a telephone pole.
"Sensei."
Idate took two steps forward with a flustered expression. He looked around while trembling with fear, and then lowered his voice and said, "I, I, I have already investigated clearly, but, but are we really going to do this?"
Aoi looked at him lovingly and said: "Idate, Chunin Exams has three stages, but you were eliminated in the first stage. So for you, the only way to become Chunin is to get Nidaime Hokage's Sword of the Thunder God and the Scroll of Seals!"
"But but…"
Idate was a little panicked. After all, he went to Hokage Tower to steal things, 'If I was caught…'
"Idate, do you want to be a Genin for the rest of your life? Do you want to disappoint your brother? Don't you want to prove yourself?"
Aoi issued a soul torture, and then continued to tempt Idate without giving him time to react, "As long as you do what I say, you can immediately be promoted to Chunin, and you can surprise everyone who knows you!"
"I, I understand." Idate's blood boiled, and he nodded regardless of what should be.
Aoi smiled with satisfaction when he heard this.
At the same time.
Kanpū led Naruto past not far away from them.
Naruto's excited heartbeat was pounding wildly, and he's trembling when walking, fortunately, there is Kanpū with him, otherwise, he will definitely be exposed.
After Idate and Aoi left, Naruto immediately exclaimed excitedly: "Sensei, what shall we do next?"
Kanpū chuckled and said: "Catch the small first, then the big one!"
'Those two people, the young one looks like a rookie. Just by grabbing and frighten him a little bit, he will definitely spit out all crafty plots and machinations they have. As for the big one, he looks a little cunning, but he's easy to take care of.'
Naruto kept jumping and said: "Then let's catch them, or they will run away."
"Don't worry, wait until they act before we catch them." Kanpū said with a chuckle.
If they are caught now, it will only be attempted theft and they won't be very guilty. Only when they formally act can they be sent to prison!
Kanpū immediately led Naruto back to Hokage Tower from another path.
Then the two hid in the lobby on the first floor, waiting quietly.
Time passed, and as the sky gradually darkened, the flow of people in Hokage Tower is gradually decreasing, and the staff inside began to get off work one by one.
Naruto kept staring at the entrance and exit with a tense expression. Even after a few hours, he still didn't feel tired, as he wanted to catch the thief.
"Naruto?"
Suddenly, a surprised voice came from the stairs.
Naruto looked up, and saw that it was his father, Minato.
"Tou-chan."
When Naruto saw Minato, his tense face immediately twisted.
Minato looked at Kanpū and Naruto again, feeling a little strange, and asked with a smile: "What are you doing?"
"We are catching thieves!"
Speaking of this, Naruto suddenly became excited, "Me and Sensei found two thieves, and we are waiting for these thieves to come! Tou-san, we are the one who find this, you can't control it!"
Hearing this, Minato was startled, 'Catching thieves at Hokage Tower?'
Isn't this the same as slapping him in the face?
However, seeing his son so excited, Minato didn't know what to say, so he looked towards Kanpū and asked what was going on with his eyes.
Kanpū said softly: "There is a Shinobi in the village who are having ideas about things they shouldn't be thinking about. I will stay here and take a look."
Minato said with a solemn expression: "How is the other side's strength?"
Kanpū shrugged his shoulders.
Minato immediately felt relieved, then turned around and patted Naruto on the shoulder, and said: "Naruto, if you really want to catch a thief, remember to stick to it to the end."
"Of course."
Naruto turned his head in disdain, but his expression was full of excitement after being affirmed by his father.
Minato nodded to Kanpū, then turned around to get off from work.
After a while, the sky darkened.
"Sensei, I'm a little hungry." Naruto didn't eat since they left Ichiraku Ramen and he couldn't hold it anymore, so he looked up at Kanpū pitifully.
Kanpū's ninja bag contains food pills, but he doesn't want to give them to Naruto, so he deliberately said: "Then, we won't catch the thief, let's go to Ichiraku Ramen to eat first."
"No!"
Naruto was anxious, and hurriedly grabbed Kanpū's hand and said, "We will go to Ichiraku Ramen after catching the thief!"
"Really?" Kanpū asked seriously.
Naruto nodded with a serious face. This is the first time he had undertaken a major event, and he has to stick to it no matter what!
The night gradually darkened.
Hokage Tower slowly plunged into darkness, and after an unknown amount of time, an afterimage suddenly rushed in from outside, and then, there was the sound of glass breaking from upstairs.
"Who?"
A shout came from the second floor, followed by the sound of galloping from above.
Naruto's whole body was tense, and his small hands grabbed the corner of Kanpū's clothes while trembling.
In the darkness, Kanpū patted Naruto's shoulder, beckoning him to stay calm.
At the same time, Kanpū activated Sage Mode.
Although it is a little overkill to use Sage Mode to deal with small thieves, Naruto is by his side after all, so Kanpū feels that it is better to be more stable.
After a while, there was another galloping sound from outside, and then there was a ping-pong sound from the second floor.
Then, a black figure came from the door, and ran along the stairs towards the second floor.
"Sensei." Naruto called in a low voice, "Hurry up, he's coming!!"
"Go, catch him!"
Kanpū shouted, then grabbed Naruto with his left hand, and his figure flickered and arrived to the second floor of Hokage Tower in an instant.
Naruto's eyes widened. When Kanpū flickered, Naruto only felt his vision blurred, and then he felt dim moonlight pouring from the side. He looked intently, only to find that he has arrived on the second floor of Hokage Tower, and are moving towards the depths of the second floor at an extremely fast speed.
After a while, Naruto saw a sneaky shadow rushing into a certain room.
Naruto didn't have much reaction, but Kanpū's pupils shrank: 'That room…isn't it the taboo data room where the Nidaime Hokage's research materials on Forbidden Techniques are stored?!'
