Chapter 34: 8 of the Last Paragraph is the Title
"Two bowls of ramen."
"The Third Hokage is treating."
Akihara Kagura pointed to the old man behind him, appearing somewhat impolite.
"I want two bowls of ramen too!"
"It's Grandpa Hokage's treat!"
Uzumaki Naruto, pretending to be cool, mimicked Akihara Kagura's actions, pointing at Sarutobi Hiruzen following them, even more rudely than Akihara Kagura.
Uzumaki Naruto, this little guy, didn't understand what it meant to be polite. A six-year-old child at this age likes to imitate people they meet.
Even...
Uzumaki Naruto could even surpass his models.
"Uncle Teuchi, Sister Ayame!"
Uzumaki Naruto's face was filled with a happy smile as he joked, "If you have any wishes, you can ask Grandpa Hokage! Just say your wish, and he will make it come true!"
"Ah?"
Teuchi, the owner, tried to open his eyes, looking somewhat bewildered.
"Really?"
Ayame looked at the old man with some surprise.
"Cough cough..."
Sarutobi Hiruzen quickly coughed a few times, speaking somewhat helplessly, "Naruto, the existence of the Hokage is not for everyone to casually make wishes!"
"Oh."
Uzumaki Naruto's face immediately fell.
However, Uzumaki Naruto's mood quickly brightened again: "Well, I'm happy to eat ramen tonight!"
"Forget it."
Sarutobi Hiruzen sighed deeply and sat down beside them: "Teuchi, make me a bowl of ramen too, I might have to put it on tab tonight."
"Oh, okay."
Teuchi, the owner, nodded obediently, not minding the Third Hokage's tab.
During this period, the credibility of the Hokage of Konoha was actually quite good; no one would think that the Hokage of the strongest ninja village would default on a debt.
"Hey, I just remembered something."
While waiting for the noodles to cook, Uzumaki Naruto curiously turned his head to Akihara Kagura: "I don't think I've asked your name yet?"
"Code A."
Akihara Kagura revealed his code name from the Root division and added: "But this name can only be used by Lord Danzo. You can call me Kagura, Akihara Kagura."
"Why?"
Uzumaki Naruto asked directly.
"Because Lord Danzo gave me a new life."
Akihara Kagura spoke calmly, as if stating a fact: "I used to be an orphan in the village. Someone sent me to a dark place where a long-haired man would cut my body with a knife every day. I couldn't even die. It was Lord Danzo who rescued me."
"Oh? Danzo saved you?"
The frown on Sarutobi Hiruzen's face relaxed.
But...
Wasn't this child a bit extreme!
"Now, I only want to protect Lord Danzo."
Akihara Kagura rested his elbow on his chin, pondering his next words: "But what Lord Danzo asks me to do is probably just to help him kill his enemies."
"This Danzo guy..."
Uzumaki Naruto sat on the table shivering.
"Don't speak lightly of killing."
Sarutobi Hiruzen tapped his pipe, his expression becoming extremely serious: "It takes over sixty years for a life to reach my age; however, a life can often be extinguished in just a few seconds..."
"So, you see..."
Akihara Kagura, almost self-taught, lit up with realization: "To protect someone, you need to diligently guard them for decades; but to help them kill an enemy, it only takes a few seconds, which seems simpler..."
"..."
Uzumaki Naruto felt something was not quite right.
"Cough cough cough cough..."
Sarutobi Hiruzen waved his hands repeatedly and said: "Although that's true, an excellent ninja often has to do things that ordinary people cannot..."
"..."
Akihara Kagura fell silent.
But after a moment, Akihara Kagura suddenly spoke: "Lord Danzo said that I can use Wood Release jutsu, something others can't do, and that I'm already doing excellently."
"That's not what I mean..."
Sarutobi Hiruzen couldn't help but grit his teeth.
Shimura Danzo, that bastard, clearly led this child astray!
"Hey, what about you?"
Akihara Kagura looked at Uzumaki Naruto: "Are you an excellent ninja? Can you do something that others cannot?"
"Yes!"
Uzumaki Naruto, with his face turned up, sniffled and proudly replied with a flushed face: "Other kids can cry in their parents' arms, but I don't have parents, nobody around me, and I won't cry alone!"
"You are also an excellent ninja."
Akihara Kagura sincerely praised.
"..."
Sarutobi Hiruzen's face slowly became more solemn.
The old man forcefully tapped out the tobacco from his pipe, put away his pipe, and looking at the ramen served by the owner Teuchi and Ayame, he finally decided to give up on this lesson.
"Let's eat..."
"After eating, go back to rest."
"Children must go to bed early, and not stay up late."
~~~
Btw, I need favor from you guys! If you see Akihara Kagura's gender changing, can you guys please call it out!
Some people are easily tick off whenever that happens and I try my best to re read it, it's crazy that still happened.
