Chapter 8 Impersonating the Hokage
Naruto stepped out of his hiding place and looked at the sky.

It was just getting light, around seven or eight o'clock.

He walked towards home, but after a few steps he felt he was walking too slowly, so he jumped up into a tree. He did this several times in a row and disappeared in a flash.

at the same time.

The Anbu members responsible for protecting Naruto were dumbfounded.

"Sparrow, did you see that?"

"I saw it."

"That is."

"It wasn't the Third Generation. Although it was so real that it was hard to tell, the Third Generation was still in the office when I handed over my shift this morning."

"What about us?"

"You continue to track and protect him, I'll go and inform the Hokage."

"Yes."

swoosh~
swoosh~
The two shadows quickly separated, disappearing in a few leaps.

Location: Hokage Building, Hokage's Office.

Hiruzen Sarutobi is currently overwhelmed with a multitude of affairs. The wars with the Land of Earth and the Land of Lightning generate a large amount of intelligence and business every day, keeping him extremely busy.

Now, he heard another piece of news that surprised him, yet also brought him some joy.

"Is the news confirmed? Naruto has transformed into my appearance?"

"determine."

Looking at the sparrow again, Hiruzen Sarutobi remembered that he was an old ANBU member, someone he could trust.

Hiruzen Sarutobi found it strange that Naruto had only started learning chakra refinement three days ago, and had already learned the Transformation Technique so quickly?

This transformation technique almost fooled even the Anbu.

Genius?
It's quite possible, after all, he's Minato's child.

Hiruzen Sarutobi took a drag of his pipe and said, "It seems I'll have to go myself."

On the other hand, Naruto's experience was quite surprising.

Good morning, Hokage.

"Good morning... cough cough, good morning." Naruto tried to make his voice sound as deep as possible.

"Good morning, Third Generation."

"Well, good morning."

From the moment we entered the village, we were greeted with these kinds of greetings.

Everyone who meets him, every single one of them, will show a genuine smile and greet him warmly.

The respect in their eyes was almost overflowing.

The children would affectionately call him Grandpa Hokage, chase after him for a while, and then go back at their parents' behest, who would tell them not to disturb the Hokage's affairs.

This feeling was very novel. Naruto, who was a cow or horse in his previous life, had never experienced this feeling of being respected and loved by many people.

This level of popularity is something even the world's richest person couldn't match, right?
However, this title...

Hokage-sama, Hokage-papa, the Third Hokage.

Naruto looked up and noticed the portrait on the Hokage Rock; he was stunned.

Wait a minute, isn't this an elderly person living alone? How could it be the third generation?
Looking at the bare stone statue again, he thought, "This isn't right. The statue looks very different from a real person. If he hadn't seen the real person, he wouldn't have dared to connect this statue with the old man from last night."

However, Naruto realized that he had caused trouble.

He was a little angry.

He randomly transformed into someone, and this little old man turned out to be the Third Hokage.

Is Naruto really that boring?
Why would I have dinner with him so late at night?

Naruto dared not wander around so casually anymore. He slipped into an empty alley and deactivated his transformation jutsu.

"It was a bit reckless. I hope no one notices."

At this moment, a notification pops up.

[You have completed a prank mission. This prank received a score of 9.5 out of 10.]
[You have earned: 1 Skill Point, Prankster Badge]
[You have started the Prankster quest chain. Please view the details in the quest interface.]
"What is this? A prank?"

Naruto glanced at the mission interface.

It turns out this was a side quest. According to the game design, this game has a high degree of freedom. Apart from the main quests that must be completed, you can explore freely and trigger a lot of side quests.

This is one of them.

Naruto glanced at the reward: 1 skill point?

不对，这是1技能点？不被限制的1技能点。它可以直接使90(1/10)→91(1/10)，而不是90(1/10)→90(2/10)。

Take another look at the Prankster badge.

[Prankster:]
+0.2% Chakra Recovery

[Comment: Pranks bring joy, and joy increases replies.]
Naruto tried wearing it to see the effect.

（恢复1.2%(幼)×（1+200%+2000%）×2= 55.2%/小时）

Previously it was 46%, an increase of 9.2%, the effect is obvious.

If the rising star is this awesome, won't the badges that follow take off?

"I love pranks!"

Naruto exclaimed from the bottom of his heart.

He closed the interface, glanced around, and it seemed that no one had noticed him.

Naruto breathed a sigh of relief and then jumped.

Whoosh~

With a few leaps, I was back at my doorstep.

Taking the key out of his backpack, Naruto entered the house and saw a figure. He thought his house had been burgled, but upon closer inspection, he realized it was the Third Hokage.

"Grandpa Hokage".

This is the Hokage, the biggest boss in the village, so his address of "Grandpa" was truly heartfelt.

If this Hokage were on Earth, would he be the president of a country? Or something else?
In short, with this old man protecting him, why would he be afraid of being killed by the villagers?
"Naruto, you're back." Hiruzen Sarutobi smiled kindly.

It was clear that Naruto already knew his identity.

He reached out and patted Naruto's head with a smile, asking, "I heard that someone in the village is impersonating me?"

"Fiknius, it's all fake news."

Seeing Naruto say that, Hiruzen Sarutobi didn't take it to heart. He warned, "Naruto, I know you didn't mean it, but don't become someone else in the village, or you'll be arrested as a spy."

"Oh, I see."

Thinking about what he had just experienced, Naruto couldn't help but ask again, "Grandpa Hokage, how did you become Hokage?"

The Third Hokage recalled, "I was chosen by the Second Hokage. I was prepared to sacrifice myself for my comrades, but unexpectedly, the Second Hokage appointed me as Hokage..."

Naruto didn't care about these secrets; he just wanted to know how to become Hokage.

Naruto really enjoyed the feeling he had along the way. He was respected by everyone, and everyone greeted him warmly. Even the children respectfully called him "Grandpa Hokage".

This feeling is kind of nice.

But those were all the third generation.

As for Naruto, once he goes out, everyone he encounters either ignores him or hates him.

Forget about saying hello, I'd be lucky if they didn't throw rotten eggs at us.

Why doesn't he go out?
wrong.

Why can't Naruto Uzumaki go out?

If I become Hokage, will everything change?

"Grandpa Hokage, how can I become Hokage?"

What kind of effort is required to become Hokage?
If you become the strongest person, can you become the Hokage?
Naruto was curious.

Hearing this, the third generation elder was very pleased and satisfied.

This guided Naruto onto the right path; his teachings that night were indeed correct.

Sensing Naruto's burning Will of Fire, Hiruzen Sarutobi once again instructed: "To become Hokage, one needs immense strength, superhuman patience and perseverance, and most importantly, the recognition of one's comrades and everyone else."

Strong capabilities require continuous growth and learning; you must improve your skills every day.

Superman's patience and perseverance are required...

At this moment, Naruto felt an extreme headache.

It seems that staying home isn't a problem.

So what if the villagers look down on us?

Just avoid them.

He's not easily offended, and he's incredibly thick-skinned. Let him look if he wants; he can't control what others think, but he can manage his own mindset.

If all else fails, we'll have a fight.

That's great! He just learned ninjutsu!
