swoosh~

An assassin appeared in an instant, landing precisely beside the two.

The newcomer was a woman with purple hair.

Naruto recognized him at a glance; this was the person who had appeared after the Forest of Death.

She glanced at Kakashi, gave a slight nod in greeting, and then her gaze sharpened as she locked onto Naruto, her voice cold and unquestionable.

"Naruto Uzumaki, the Hokage summons you! Proceed immediately!"

"Summoned?"

Naruto exaggeratedly picked at his ear, then pouted and said, "No way! Let the Hokage come see me in person!"

The two were taken aback for a moment.

"Naloo!"

Kakashi called out, his voice calm and without any warning, yet it was like an invisible thread being gently tugged.

"Hehe, just kidding! Just trying to lighten the mood!" Naruto glanced at him, indicating that he was giving him face.

"See you tonight, Kakashi-sensei!"

After saying goodbye, Naruto swiftly struck the purple-haired Anbu member.

The Flying Thunder God Technique is activated instantly!

In front of the Hokage Building, the air rippled slightly, and Naruto and Uzuki Yugao suddenly appeared!

Uzuki Yugao, who had been brought here, was still somewhat dazed for a moment.

Naruto's movements were too fast; she didn't have time to react at all.

I felt my arm being patted, and the next moment I felt an uncontrollable twisting sensation.

In the blink of an eye, we're here.

Is this the Flying Thunder God?

Uzuki Yugao stared blankly, her black eyes filled with unbelievable shock!

"Big sister, lead the way." Naruto had an innocent smile on his face.

That was just to show my attitude; why make things difficult for an ordinary secret service member who was delivering the message?

"Oh, oh, yes!"

Uzuki Yugao snapped back to reality, suppressing the turmoil in her heart, and quickly regained the competence of an ANBU member. "Please come with me!"

Naruto was led forward.

This time, the meeting with the Third Hokage was no longer held in the Hokage's office, but in a room next to the Hokage's office within the same Hokage building.

The room wasn't very big; it had two rows of light green sofas facing each other, with a small table in the middle.

dong dong~

"Come in!"

The familiar, slightly weary voice of the Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, came through the heavy wooden door.

squeak~

As the door opened, Naruto looked inside.

The room was small, but the atmosphere was unusually heavy.

Aside from the Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, who was sitting upright on the main sofa, having removed his Hokage hat and revealing his signature head of pale hair.

On the sofas to his left and right sat two figures exuding a strong "old-fashioned" aura!

One was an old man with glasses and a full beard.

The other was an old woman with a hunched back and eyes that were almost invisible.

Naruto had never met these two people before, but he guessed they were probably advisors or something similar.

"Naruto, you're back from your vacation?"

Hiruzen Sarutobi put on a kind smile. "Did you have fun?"

"Ah."

Despite the Hokage's enthusiasm, Naruto remained expressionless, uttering a single syllable through his nose as a greeting.

He exuded an almost tangible, icy aura!

He walked past the purple-haired ANBU who was leading the way, went straight to the sofa, and sat down comfortably facing the three of them.

Uzuki Yugao was shocked and confused. Was this how Naruto responded to the Hokage's greeting?

Is that correct?

Mitokado Homura's brows furrowed instantly, and a fierce glint flashed in Koharu Utatane's nearly open, cloudy old eyes. Was this the attitude of a Konoha ninja toward the Hokage?

Madness!

They are so arrogant and ignorant!

How could Minato Namikaze have such an impudent son?

The two were, after all, seasoned veterans. Remembering Naruto's identity and strength, they swallowed back what they had wanted to say.

"Cough cough!"

Hiruzen Sarutobi coughed twice to ease the tension. "Yugao, you can go out now."

"Yes, Lord Hokage!"

As if granted a pardon, Uzuki Yugao immediately bowed and withdrew, gently closing the door behind her.

Only four people remained in the room.

The air seemed to have been sucked out, leaving only a suffocating silence.

Naruto maintained his languid posture, his azure eyes calm and still, like a bottomless, icy pool, quietly watching the three people opposite him.

Based on his chakra perception, the three of them did not harbor any genuine malice towards him.

The two consultants may have been using him as a tool.

But the Hokage was truly sincere towards him.

But public and private are separate; how can they be confused?

Naruto's current negotiating partner is the Hokage of Konoha, Hiruzen Sarutobi, not Hiruzen Sarutobi!

"Naruto! I still remember you when you were little."

Hiruzen Sarutobi finally broke the silence, starting by talking about Naruto's childhood and playing the emotional card.

Naruto remained completely unmoved, simply watching quietly.

Hiruzen Sarutobi talked until his throat was dry, going from Naruto's embarrassing childhood stories to Naruto's parents, from Minato Namikaze to the Will of Fire.

His words were earnest and his emotions were sincere.

He tried to use past warmth and heavy responsibility to touch the soft spot in Naruto's heart.

however,

"Old man Hokage, are you done talking?"

Naruto finally spoke, saying bluntly, "Now that you've finished talking, hurry up and present your conditions!"

Hiruzen Sarutobi's smile froze.

His wrinkled hands trembled slightly.

this.

The three exchanged glances, finding the situation quite troublesome. Finally, Mitomon Homura took a deep breath and slowly took out a scroll that he had prepared beforehand from his bosom!

Naruto picked up the scroll with a blank expression and examined it carefully.

There are many conditions, but Naruto summarized the main ones as follows:

1. He promised the throne of the Sixth Hokage.

2. Compensation: Up to 15 billion taels.

3. Village land: Choose any vacant land! Konoha will fund the construction of suitable residences!

The other two are alright, but this second one is the only one that's good.

15 billion taels? That's like giving money to a beggar!

I see that you have absolutely no sincerity whatsoever!

"Tsk tsk tsk"

Naruto gently put down the scroll, his gaze sweeping over the three expectant figures before finally settling on Hiruzen Sarutobi.

"Hiruzen! This amount of money makes it very difficult for me to get things done!" Naruto's voice was so calm that it revealed neither joy nor anger.

"presumptuous!"
