Chapter 129 Sarutobi: I can't die, I can't die! (Humorous Version)
The cracking sound startled Sarutobi, who was cooking rice.
It was lunchtime, and several Anbu members had been given a day off by Sarutobi to have lunch, which allowed Naruto to infiltrate perfectly.
"Hehehe, Grandpa, were you scared by the way my older brother and I made our entrance?"
Konohamaru lowered his head and let out a soft chuckle, then looked up at his grandfather.
Naruto proudly held his head high, Kushina in the sealed space clapped for her son, while Minato awkwardly touched his hair.
"Um, Naruto, and Konohamaru, what brings you two to see Grandpa?"
Sarutobi put down the golden cudgel he had just summoned, relaxed his body, and then asked the two of them with a hint of helplessness.
"Hmph, since you've asked so sincerely, I'll mercifully tell you."
"We came here...we came here..."
Konohamaru was standing with his hands on his hips, proudly showing off in front of his grandfather, when he suddenly stopped talking.
"Um, bro, what are we here for?"
A bead of cold sweat broke out on Konohamaru's forehead, and then he turned around and quietly asked Naruto.
"We've come to ask me about my class assignment."
Naruto whispered in Konohamaru's ear.
"Awooo!"
Konohamaru nodded, then put his hands on his hips again, raised his head, and spoke to Sarutobi.
"Listen carefully, we're here to ask about the class assignments for our eldest brother."
Naruto nodded in agreement, then looked at Sarutobi.
Sarutobi rubbed his forehead, speechless at his grandsons.
"Naruto, you haven't graduated yet, why are you asking this so early?"
Naruto touched his fingers together, then said somewhat shyly.
"Um, actually I wanted to know if I could be in a team with Sasuke and Hinata."
After all, it wouldn't be good if even one of Konoha's F4 were missing.
Hearing Naruto's words, Sarutobi's previously troubled head was filled with a sense of relief.
Yes, the child mainly asked because of their bond.
The fact that Naruto was able to come here basically means that the people inside him also agreed to this matter.
Therefore, one's own opinion is no longer important.
Sarutobi smiled and then patted Naruto's head.
"Don't worry, Grandpa will take good care of Naruto.
By the way, has Naruto eaten yet?"
Naruto shook his head and rushed towards the Hokage Building as soon as he came out, naturally without having time to eat.
Seeing Naruto shake his head, Sarutobi then turned his gaze to his own grandson.
Konohamaru, seeing his grandfather staring at him, said smugly.
"I haven't eaten either, just like my older brother!"
What's there to be proud of?
It's alright, Konohamaru is still young and doesn't understand things yet...
"How about I take you guys out for barbecue?"
Sarutobi looked at the two of them and said.
"Oh, barbecue! Yay!"
Naruto nodded happily. It had been a long time since he had eaten barbecue. Lately, he had been cooking for himself at home.
Sarutobi tidied up the lunchboxes on the table and put them on the cabinet, planning to eat them as snacks in the afternoon.
Then, he patted his butt and took Naruto and Konohamaru to the Akimichi BBQ restaurant.
As they were going downstairs, they unsurprisingly ran into Ebisu.
"Ah, Lord Hokage, I'm sorry, I didn't keep a close eye on the young master."
Ebisu lowered his head, realizing he had messed things up. He hadn't expected Naruto to break through the window and storm into the Hokage's office with Konohamaru.
"It's alright, Ebisu. You go eat first. I'll take Konohamaru and Naruto to eat barbecue."
Huh? Did I buy the beef noodles for nothing?
Although it was somewhat unexpected, Ebisu was a man of great talent, and he naturally reacted quickly, making way for them.
"Okay, then let's have this noodle dish for lunch."
Ebisu opened the packaging, ready to eat.
Then a white-haired man walked over. Just now, when Naruto and the others came down, Kakashi subconsciously avoided Naruto.
But she still watched the long-haired boy from the corner.
They look like a teacher and his wife.
Especially those eyes.
"I'll go and tidy up the windows."
Kakashi closed his eyes, took a moment to calm himself, and then headed to the Hokage's office.
As a trusted confidant of three generations, he was allowed into the office.
Moreover, his great-great-grandfather was also a third-generation descendant.
However, this window is really fragile; it has been replaced about ten times already.
The door is still sturdy; despite being shaken so many times by the deceased Elder Danzo, it remains as strong as ever.
Door: Listen to me, thank you, because of you, the four seasons are warm.
"OK."
Meanwhile, Sarutobi had already arrived at Akimichi BBQ restaurant with his two cubs.
"Lord Hokage?!"
Sarutobi wasn't wearing a conspicuous sacred robe, just a simple outfit with a straw hat, but that didn't stop Aoi from recognizing him.
"Aoi, it's been a long time."
Looking at Aoi Akimichi, Sarutobi smiled.
Before Biwako died, his family often came to the yakiniku restaurant for meals.
"Long time no see! Are you bringing the kids for barbecue today?"
Seeing Naruto and Konohamaru, Aoi invited them in and found a small private room for the three of them.
Once the barbecue was served, the three of them happily began to eat.
"Naruto, you'll be graduating in a few days. What are your dreams after graduation?"
Sarutobi ate his grilled meat and chatted with Naruto.
"Hmm... I want to become Hokage, does that count?"
Naruto took a bite of meat, swallowed it, and then said.
"Of course, that's a fantastic ideal."
Sarutobi looked at Naruto with a smile. "That's great, a very good ideal."
However, Naruto is still too young, and it's unknown how much longer he can hold on.
Should we consider calling Jiraiya back to take his place for a few years?
Sarutobi thought about it. After all, he had been Hokage for so many years, and he was very tired.
He had also thought about putting down the burden of Hokage, returning home, lying in the yard, occasionally visiting the cemetery to see Biwako, having a heart-to-heart talk with Asuma, and teaching Konohamaru and Naruto.
But he couldn't.
He was the Third Hokage, and he bore not only personal responsibility but also the responsibility of the entire village.
He can lie down and close his eyes when he's not busy, but when Konoha needs him, he has to get out of bed, put on his divine robes, and protect the village.
Because he is the Hokage.
What's more, the First Generation Lord is watching him right now.
"Hmm! I believe that Naruto-nii will definitely become Hokage!"
Konohamaru wiped his mouth with his oily hands and said happily.
"Hahaha, is it that obvious?"
Naruto smiled happily and continued eating the barbecue in the cheerful atmosphere.
