Hokage Office
"Third Hokage, I can't use ninjutsu. Could you lend me the sealing scroll so I can learn some powerful ninjutsu?" Naruto asked, standing in front of the Third Hokage.
"If you really can't even use the Shadow Clone Technique, what ninjutsu could you learn from the sealing scroll? Forget it." The Third Hokage said while dealing with official duties.
"Is that so?"
Naruto sighed helplessly, casually found a chair to sit down, and said, "I don't have any special thoughts. I just want to learn a ninjutsu and then successfully graduate from the Ninja Academy."
His voice paused for a moment, his tone slightly changed, and he continued, "Due to special reasons, my chakra is affected by the Nine-Tails, so I can't normally perform ninjutsu... And you wouldn't want me to use the power of the Nine-Tails chakra in front of Iruka during the exam, would you?"
The Third Hokage's actions paused slightly as if he had fallen into some kind of thought. However, he soon continued his work and said in an old voice, "Well then, I'll promote you to Special Jonin. You can enjoy all the benefits of a regular Jonin, but you can't carry out normal tasks. Is that okay?"
"Haha, I don't need to be a Jonin. A Genin is fine. You know, I'm not a greedy person. The position of Jonin is actually not very useful to me." Naruto said with a laugh.
"That's fine too."
"I want to be a normal graduating Genin, the kind with a Jonin leading the team. There's no other meaning. It just feels fun." Naruto continued with a smile.
"Fun?"
The Third Hokage squinted his eyes. It was the first time he heard someone say being a ninja was for fun. However, with Naruto's strength after controlling the Nine-Tails, being a Genin was indeed like playing.
He had previously exploded eight tails and still had clear consciousness. He could use Tailed Beast Bomb. His comprehensive strength was at least top elite Jonin. If he used more power, even Kage level couldn't stop him. He might even reach Super Kage level strength.
After a brief contemplation, the Third Hokage felt that he could control Naruto in another way. Although the control was not strong, it could achieve better results than before.
So he continued, "You can be a Genin if you want. However, I hope you can hide your strength and help me complete some special tasks. I will give you some good rewards."
"I'll consider it depending on the situation."
Naruto casually replied.
Of course he knew the Third Hokage's little thoughts. Given his current situation, this attitude was the best choice. Agreeing too simply would make Sarutobi Hiruzen feel frivolous; directly refusing would make him feel unable to communicate and easily cause bad results.
Neither agreeing nor refusing is the best.
"Alright."
The Third Hokage nodded and stared at Naruto and continued, "Four months from now, our Konoha Village will hold a large-scale Chunin Exam with Suna Village and other ninja villages. I hope you can win with an overwhelming advantage in the exam."
"As a reward, before the Chunin Exam, you can freely browse any ninjutsu below C-rank in the village. After the Chunin Exam is over, I can show you one A-rank ninjutsu and three B-rank ninjutsu."
"Mm-hmm."
Naruto nodded slightly and tilted his head slightly with a faint smile on his face and said: "In addition to this, I also want the practice method of Flying Thunder God Technique and what Fourth Hokage left behind."
"No way! Your strength is strong indeed but Konoha Village has other ninjas too. Even without you we can achieve excellent results so winning in Chunin Exam is not as valuable as Flying Thunder God Technique let alone what Fourth Hokage left behind." Sarutobi Hiruzen decisively refused.
"Hehe, what I want is not the technique, but your attitude. Can you understand?" Naruto faced the Third Hokage, their gazes meeting, neither backing down.
Not the technique? The attitude?
The Third Hokage was taken aback at first, but quickly realized the issue. The Fourth Hokage's backup plan had already taught Naruto how to control the Nine-Tails, and he had also told him a lot of things. Given this, it was possible that the Fourth Hokage had also passed on his specialty, the Flying Thunder God technique, to him.
So...
Naruto now probably knows a bit of the Flying Thunder God technique. Regardless of how far he has trained, he must have the Flying Thunder God technique that the Fourth Hokage personally taught him. Therefore, the weight of the Flying Thunder God technique on the sealing scroll and what the Fourth Hokage left behind is not significant. The main issue is still about attitude.
"Sigh, alright, I can give you both the Flying Thunder God technique and the notes left by the Fourth Hokage. After all, these things would have been given to you sooner or later. It's just a bit earlier." Sarutobi Hiruzen sighed lightly, took a puff of his cigarette, and exhaled white smoke.
He really gave it to me?
I asked for it and he just gave it?
Seeing the Third Hokage's attitude, Naruto was somewhat bewildered at this moment. The Flying Thunder God technique and the Fourth Hokage's notes didn't seem to be important bargaining chips in the eyes of the Third Hokage. He wouldn't be too stubborn about these things.
Was this old guy's attitude always this good?
Did I misunderstand him before?
"The house you're living in now was actually Minato's first home. He used to live there before moving to a new house. If you have your own family in the future, Minato's house will be your newlywed home." The Third Hokage continued.
Seeing Naruto's slightly surprised look, he didn't feel too surprised, but rather a bit uneasy. If just giving away the Flying Thunder God technique and some notes would surprise Naruto, then his position in Naruto's heart must have fallen to a very low point.
Therefore, to make up for this point, he must make some operations that seem very humane but do not make too much substantial concession of benefits to further improve Naruto's view of him and let him re-establish hope for Konoha.
"Is that so?"
Naruto responded softly.
Sarutobi Hiruzen took out several small scrolls from his desk in the Hokage office and placed them on the table. "These are scrolls of the Flying Thunder God technique and Minato's notes. I've been keeping them safe for you all along. Take them and practice."
In fact, he often watched and practiced but just didn't have the talent to learn Flying Thunder God...
Naruto picked up the scroll and looked at his father's unique handwriting on it. Looking at the Flying Thunder God scroll in his hand, he couldn't help but feel a bit relieved.
Can you see it?
Father... Mother...
Now, I am reclaiming everything that should belong to me. This is the Flying Thunder God technique and your notes and property that you left behind. There will be more and more in the future. I will reclaim everything that should belong to me little by little and stand tall at the pinnacle of the ninja world!
I will let everyone know that I am the son of the Fourth Hokage, Uzumaki Kushina's son. I am your greatest pride.
