Naruto: Uchiha Youngjo's Konoha Spring

Chapter 65 The First Meeting between the Fourth Hokage and Naruto

In the end, Uchiha Douhuan did not let everyone work overtime all night. After spending 10 taels of silver to invite the security department from home and making a bowl of luxurious ramen for everyone who worked overtime, Uchiha Douhuan asked everyone to go back and rest.

The next day, in a large open space of about 1000 square meters to the east of the Uchiha clan's territory, the non-ninja members of the Uchiha clan were busy preparing the venue. On weekdays, this place was usually used for weddings of young people in the clan, but today, their clan leader was going to host a banquet here to entertain the enthusiastic ninjas who had provided assistance in the action of suppressing the thugs who attempted to slander the reputation of the village heroes with rumors and thus damage the purity of the Will of Fire.

So, early this morning, the entire Uchiha clan was busy.

In the ancestral home of the Hatake family, Kakashi woke up Naruto early in the morning because he wanted to sleep in because he had a day off due to the curfew last night.

"What are you doing, Brother Kakashi!" Naruto was worried about Kakashi who went out in the middle of the night, so he waited until Kakashi came back before going to bed. Now he was naturally a little dissatisfied with being woken up so early in the morning, but Kakashi had already started putting clothes on his head without saying anything.

"I'm taking you out for a big meal today. If you don't want to get up, forget it." Kakashi said.

"A big meal?" Naruto perked up upon hearing that. He quickly put on his clothes and followed Kakashi out the door.

Kakashi went out and first found Yamato who lived not far from his home. After pulling him up, he walked towards the Uchiha clan's territory.

As they walked, Naruto realized something was wrong and looked up and asked, "Where are we going? Whenever I walked this way before, an uncle from the Anbu would come out and tell me that I couldn't go there."

"You'll understand when you get there," Kakashi said, "Also, from now on, there won't be any place in the village that you can't go to."

"Really?" Naruto's eyes lit up.

"Of course, if you want to play a prank, it's best not to go there, otherwise it would be too embarrassing for me to go to the Security Department to rescue them." Kakashi said.

The two of them, along with the silent Yamato, walked for a while before they met Genma Shiranui and Beizu Leidou and a few others.

When Shiranui Genma and others saw Naruto's golden hair, a look of trance appeared on their faces.

"They really look alike..." Bingzu Leitong couldn't help but sigh as he looked at Naruto walking towards him and laughing with Kakashi.

They, the former subordinates of the Fourth Hokage, all knew that the Fourth Hokage had left behind an orphan, but when the Fourth Hokage died in battle on the night of the Nine-Tailed Fox, their position became somewhat awkward.

If the Yondaime hadn't died, these original members of the Shadow Guard would probably have held important positions in the Anbu or the Jonin class by now.

But it just so happened that the Fourth Hokage died in battle on the night of the Nine-Tails, so their position was very awkward. They were all promoted by the Fourth Hokage, and as civilians or from small ninja clans, they had no roots in the village. Although the Third Hokage would not target them after he came back to power, the people of the Third Hokage would still intentionally or unintentionally marginalize them when assigning tasks.

They were helpless in the face of this situation. Although they knew that the Fourth Hokage had an orphan still alive, Naruto's identity was too special. They dared not even provide help when they themselves were in danger. The most they could do was secretly teach a few troublemakers who had made things difficult for Naruto a lesson, and they couldn't even let others know the reason.

However, now that Kakashi is willing to stand up and take up this banner, everything will be different.

After Kakashi brought Naruto in front of everyone, Shiranui Genma was the first to reach out and touch Naruto's head, and then things got out of control. Naruto was pulled by a group of people and passed around like a rag doll. By the end, his yellow hair became a mess.

"What are you doing? Who are you all?" Naruto, who had been patted on the head, was naturally very dissatisfied. He pouted and glared at everyone, but his expression made everyone laugh. "Naruto, these brothers and sisters were your father's subordinates back then," Kakashi said with a smile.

Kakashi thought very clearly that when he officially stepped onto the stage, apart from having to give some face to the Sandaime and not directly telling Naruto his father's true identity, there was no need to be too strict with Naruto in other aspects. It was also time to let Naruto get in touch with some things in this area. After all, what he inherited from his teacher would ultimately have to be returned to Naruto, the teacher's true bloodline.

"Eh? Really?" After hearing this, Naruto was also stunned, and then looked at Shiranui Genma: "So, do you all know my father?"

"Yes, your father is a very great ninja." Shiranui Genma said with a smile.

"Then can you tell me who he is?" Naruto said with a pout.

"Of course... no!" Shiranui Genma, who was a bit frivolous, joked. Everyone knew their limits and knew that the Third Hokage was still around so they had to give him some face.

"You're not going to say again that my father's former enemies were very powerful, so you couldn't tell me for my safety?" Naruto said angrily.

"Wow, you are such a smart kid. You even learned to answer questions quickly!" Shiranui Genma said with a smile.

Everyone laughed wantonly, but Naruto, who was surrounded in the middle, was almost blushing.

"Okay, Naruto, your father's matter is not that simple. When you become a real ninja, you will naturally discover his identity slowly." Kakashi squatted down and said.

"Then what did you say before? About my father's enemies." Naruto pouted in dissatisfaction.

"Oh, you're lying." Kakashi said, "With so many people in the village willing to protect you, you shouldn't be afraid of those enemies, right?"

Kakashi finished speaking and looked towards Shiranui Genma and his group.

"Of course." Shiranui Genma responded with a smile, "Little Naruto, grow up quickly. The day you find out who your father is, you might be shocked yourself."

As Shiranui Genma spoke, he unconsciously looked in the direction of Hokage Rock.

"Hmph! You guys are really going too far! You actually lied to a child! I'm not going to pay any attention to you!" Naruto was very dissatisfied with this group of riddlers. He broke free from the hands of several people holding him and ran towards the Uchiha clan's territory.

"This kid is quite energetic." Bingzu Leitong smiled as he watched Naruto's back running away.

"But, Kakashi, is it okay for you to bring him to the Uchiha clan's territory like this?" After Naruto ran away, Shiranui Genma said seriously.

"No problem." Kakashi said, "Uchiha is one of us."

Thinking that the Security Department was the first to stand up and support Kakashi during this turmoil, Shiranui Genma nodded: "It's good that you know what's going on."
