When the third Hokage called Naruto, Hinata also wanted to follow him, but her father forbade her from doing so.
Naruto then gave Hinata the present he had gotten from the system.
He smiled and addressed them in a soothing voice as he observed his daughter's worried expression.
'He won't be questioned, but he will still receive a reward for his actions, so everything is fine.' Hiashi grinned as he spoke to them in an attempt to comfort them.
Judging from the way his daughter looked, a father could easily comprehend his children's feelings toward the misfit Junchiriki Naruto Uzumaki.
"They will have a hard time, I guess."
Before going into his room, Hiashi muttered, "I have a lot of work to do after this incident. After all, the main line of Hyuga was touched by this incident, and I need to do something to calm the elders in action."
Hinata and Hanabi, who had been watching their father leave, clutched their hands and thought about how under the weather they were at the time as Hiashi entered with a serious expression.
Meanwhile, Naruto was summoned to the hokage office, where he met the purported third hokage, Sarutobi Hiruzen. who, while contemplating something that occasionally caused him to frown, was calmly standing next to his chair and watching the hokage summit.
"Enter, Naruto Kid." When he sensed Naruto's presence, Sarutobi smiled and called him inside, as he felt Naruto had changed a lot.
While the changes were nice and were easing his worries, he was feeling painful because Naruto's childishness was coming to an end.
"You did well, Naruto Kid."
Naruto, who was meeting the third for the first time, felt strange and nervous, given that his previous host seemed to have a lot of memories with the third Hokage, which meant that Sarutobi had memories of living with his old self.
Because he didn't want his past life memories to be scrutinized by others, the chances of him noticing the changes inside as strange are quite high.
But he was aware that he had to speak up quickly lest Sarutobi find his silence odd.
"Hehe, I did what I could at the time," he said.
Naruto laughed awkwardly, which Sarutobi assumed was due to Naruto's first kill and made him worried for the kid.
"Given that those rogue shinobi were on the kill list, and it appears that by killing them, you made quite a bit given that top-level Genin can be found among rogues,"
Since Genin are the lowest rank and are frequently killed in combat, those who survive even while holding this rank must be masters of concealment and difficult to track down.
"Additionally, in appreciation of your success, I have chosen to grant your two requests, subject to my ability to do so. You are free to ask me anything."
Given how Naruto was able to save little Hanabi, Sarutobi laughed, adding that he also shielded the mental image of the leaf shinobi.
Few guests were scared, wondering how a trainee Shinobi from Leaf Village could be this powerful to deal with the top two Genin on his own.
"Eh! Really can I ask anything from you."
Naruto was surprised, given that he had been chatting with Kurama every night and that another guy had also opened up to him, telling him how a guy using sharingan had taken control of him and killed Naruto's parents.
The fourth hokage was revealed to be Naruto's father and was hailed as a historical hero, which caused Naruto to become very happy and yearn to meet them but is impossible.
"Then I want to learn Flying Thunder God, which was something my dad learned and was known throughout the world with."
Hiruzen was dumbfounded as he stared at Naruto in shock, but then his thoughts turned to Kurama and what Minato might have left for his son.
He grinned as he realized why Naruto had begun to exhibit these changes a few months earlier.
"Okay, but for that you need a large amount of chakra control, so you have to pass my test first, which is to rank first in shinobi entrance, which is coming in 3 months."
Sarutobi put up a small test for Naruto, and he agreed without even thinking about it.
[Quest: Prove your worth.]
[Sub-Quest: Learn 3 C level jutsu of each at least 2 different chakra nature.]
[Sub-Quest: Master Clone Jutsu, Substitution Jutsu, and Transformation Jutsu.] (1/3)
[Sub-Quest: Increase chakra control to an intermediate level.]
[Sub-Quest: Master long range shuriken-jutsu to intermediate level.]
[Time limit: 2 months.]
With those considerations in mind, and after learning Shadow Clone from Sarutobi, who said it was the best jutsu for mastering chakra control.
Given that he didn't have much at the time, Naruto returned home while carrying the slip that said he could ask Hiruzen for one thing.
With thousands of yen in his pocket, Naruto was confident that his needs for body training and food would be met in the next three months.
"Those girls are cooking, and I want to eat them right now, but they kept me from enjoying Hinata's birthday party." Naruto was cursing the whole ancestor line of those rogue shinobi, as he felt more and more hungry about it. When someone knocked on his door, he went to answer it and looked for the previous girl.
"You are hungry, right?" She smiled as she handed the box to Naruto, who nodded and smiled at the girl before saying thank you and that he could give the box to the girl at academy.
