However, after returning home, Naruto did not immediately use the White Snake to practice Orochimaru, because it was still daytime, and he was contacting a renegade ninja who was preparing to assassinate the Hokage. So, when doing this kind of thing, it's best not to be too arrogant and try to keep a low profile.
...
"Knock knock knock!"
A knock on the door sounded, and Naruto quickly opened the door, revealing a smile and said: "Ah, it's the Third Hokage-sama, is there anything you need today?"
No malice, temporarily none, unknown intentions
"Hehe, nothing, just came to see you." Sarutobi Hiruzen laughed and handed a bag of gifts to Naruto.
No malice, goodwill
What's wrong with this guy? Has he changed?
"Ah, thank you."
Naruto directly took the gift, and gently touched the bag with one hand. The feel was a bit like a scroll, probably some training scrolls for Ninjutsu.
"I heard that you can't use Ninjutsu smoothly, so I found some more general techniques. They don't require any particular chakra talent, and the training difficulty is not high. For example, the Multiple Shadow Clone Jutsu, with your amount of chakra, you can definitely use it easily, and it's even simpler than the Shadow Clone Jutsu." Sarutobi Hiruzen walked into the room naturally and said with a kind smile.
Why are you so nice to me? You're fake, right?
"Thank you very much, but I have now fully mastered the power of the Nine-Tails and can use some Ninjutsu." Naruto replied with a smile.
"Is that so, hehe."
Sarutobi Hiruzen chuckled, sat down naturally, and asked Naruto, "How does it feel to complete a mission for the first time and earn rewards with your own power?"
"Um... it's pretty good."
As Naruto spoke, he walked towards the kitchen and said, "Wait a moment, I'll make some tea."
Although he didn't like this old guy very much, following the principle of not hitting a smiling face, since he had given him Ninjutsu scrolls, giving him some tea wasn't a big deal. He would take things one step at a time.
...
After a while, Naruto returned to the living room with the tea, poured a cup for Sarutobi Hiruzen, and said with a faint smile, "Please enjoy."
"Thank you."
Sarutobi Hiruzen took a sip and was immediately surprised, "This is really good, I didn't expect you to be skilled in this craft, I never noticed it before."
"Well, everyone has their moments of oversight."
Naruto said.
"Indeed, everyone has moments of oversight."
The smile on Sarutobi Hiruzen's face gradually became bitter, he lowered his head, put down the teacup, and sighed deeply, "I'm sorry, Naruto, I made a big mistake and let you have such an unfortunate childhood."
Naruto squinted his eyes slightly, speechless. He was curious to hear what this guy had to say, considering his days were numbered. Even if no one assassinated him, he would die of old age. As a ninja, Sarutobi Hiruzen had lived a long time.
"Everyone can make mistakes, but the Hokage cannot. The Hokage must lead this village towards a brighter future."
Sarutobi Hiruzen lowered his head even more, crossed his hands in front of him and said, "I'm old now, my judgment is not as good as it used to be, and I've made many mistakes. I'm not fit to continue serving as Hokage. I know this now, better than anyone else."
"So I've decided that once the next genius of the village rises, I will hand over the rights and duties of the Hokage to him, and let him lead Konohagakure on a new path."
"Hokage... huh?"
Naruto's expression changed slightly, but not much. He didn't have much desire for the position of Hokage, and even if someone succeeded to the position of Hokage in the future, it probably wouldn't be him, the Nine-Tails demon fox that everyone in the village despised. In the election of the Hokage, public opinion is very important.
And...
Is it a bit too late to say these things now?
"By the way, Naruto, would you like to play a game of shogi with me?" Sarutobi Hiruzen asked.
"Uh... okay."
....
After echoing and dealing with it for a while, Sarutobi Hiruzen finally left.
"Hmph, he's just a dying old man. At this time, he wants to do this kind of thing, it really makes me sick. Can't he just be a bad guy and die?" Naruto said with a complex expression.
He had already seen it, Sarutobi Hiruzen had completely figured it out now. Naruto, who mastered the Flying Thunder God and the full Tailed Beast transformation, was too powerful and too important to Konohagakure.
As long as Naruto was willing to show the full Tailed Beast transformation plus the Flying Thunder God, his deterrent power on the battlefield would be far beyond that of a general Jinchuriki, and even more terrifying than a village shadow. Sarutobi Hiruzen had no way to control him, and didn't want to control him anymore. The elderly him, in a sigh one day, figured it out.
Sarutobi Hiruzen had been Hokage for decades, and he was tired. And now he was very old, and he might die of old age in a few years. So now, he didn't need to take some things too seriously, he simply admitted his mistake and cultivated Naruto.
At least, from Kakashi's description, Naruto seemed to be a good boy, and he was also the son of the Fourth Hokage, so he could be cultivated.
But! But! But!
When this old guy figured it out, Naruto started to feel uncomfortable. He would not be moved by Sarutobi Hiruzen's actions, but would only feel disgusted and bothered when he knew about the Konohagakure collapse plan, very uncomfortable.
Once he had a grandfather he respected very much, who was very good to him when everyone else rejected him, and gave him the rare happiness of his childhood. But later he found out that it was because of this guy that his childhood was so tragic, letting him live this life after accepting his parents' will.
So, Naruto would definitely hate, even if he knew about the Konohagakure collapse plan, he would not stop it.
But in this situation, this old man is going to die soon, and he finally figured it out two months before his death, came to accompany him with full of goodwill, and even wanted to cultivate him as the future Hokage.... This feeling, really makes people can't stand it!
"What a hassle."
Naruto sighed deeply, opened the gift Sarutobi Hiruzen had sent, and sure enough, it was a Ninjutsu scroll. There was a forbidden word on the scroll, it was a forbidden technique.
Multiple Shadow Clone Jutsu, Soul Transformation Jutsu, The Eight Inner Gates.
Just as the Third Hokage said, these are all techniques that don't require much Chakra attribute. The control difficulty of the Multiple Shadow Clone Technique is actually lower than that of the Transformation Technique and the Clone Technique. The main reason is that most people don't have that much Chakra to use, which is quite suitable for him.
The Soul Transformation Jutsu is simply a soul technique, and the The Eight Inner Gates is a technique to open the hidden limits of the human body and enter a super-limited state, both of which are very suitable for people with abnormal Chakra and cannot use normal Ninjutsu.
From the choice of Ninjutsu, this old man seems to be quite thoughtful.
