I'm Uzumaki Naruto, I don't need approval

Chapter 12 012. What Konoha needs is Kirabi

Naruto didn't know the conversation inside the Ichiraku Ramen store, and even if he knew, he wouldn't care too much.

In the Konoha Ninja Village, there are not many people who know his true identity, but they are definitely not few, but the only one who can contact him is the third generation old man.

At this moment, he was about to go home to rest when he was blocked by two peers.

One person was holding potato chips in his hand, and he would pick them up and put them in his mouth from time to time. The other person was looking at him and slowly stretched out his hand: "Hello, my name is Shikamaru Nara, and he is Choji Akimichi. We want Become friends with you.”

Nara Shikamaru, Akimichi Choji? !

Naruto was very familiar with these two names. They were Ludie from Inarakadie, important members of the Twelve Little Strong.

But isn’t this way of making friends too casual? At least find a reason.

Kyuubi also complained in his body: "Kid, these two kid's must have a purpose in looking for you."

Naruto looked at Shikamaru and Choji for a few times, and then stretched out his hand: "My name is Uzumaki Naruto. You are welcome to be my friends. From now on, we will be good friends."

After a few words, the three seemed to have become good friends who had known each other for many years, and agreed to meet in the woods tomorrow.

However, during this period, Naruto deliberately looked at Shikamaru a few more times, wondering what kind of medicine was being sold in the gourd of the Ninja Village's head of intelligence.

Should I say that he is worthy of being the heir to the Nara clan, which is famous for its scheming?

After they separated, Choji looked at Shikamaru in confusion: "Shikamaru, this is how you make friends. Isn't it too confessional? It's like telling Naruto that we took the initiative to make friends with him."

Shikamaru glanced at Choji and looked at Naruto's leaving figure:

"I have thought of many ways to meet, but other methods are too deliberate. It is better to tell him directly that we just want to be friends with him. Anyway, my father's explanation has been completed."

Choji opened his mouth, not knowing how to refute Shikamaru, so he could only grab a handful of potato chips and stuff them into his mouth.

What Shikamaru didn't tell Choji was that he didn't want to offend Naruto because of his deliberately concealed behavior. After so many days of investigation, he really planned to become friends with Naruto.

According to his investigation, although Naruto was called a demon fox, he was just an orphan whose parents both died.

There are not dozens but hundreds of such orphans in the village.

But Naruto is the only one who can withstand the evil intentions of the villagers and gain the upper hand against the adults as a demon fox. Such a person will definitely not be easy in the future and is worthy of his initiative to make friends with.

…

At noon the next day, Naruto saw Shikamaru and Choji in the woods.

It's hard to say whether Shikamaru and Choji were sent here by three generations of old men, but they must have been instructed by their fathers, and their fathers happened to be one of the jonins who knew their identities.

To a certain extent, it also represents the village's attitude towards itself today.

When the friends gathered together, they naturally discussed where to play. Naruto smiled and suggested that they play the popular ninja play house in the village.

Together they play the role of the village's Hokage and engage in ninja combat.

When he heard Naruto's suggestion, Choji's expression was a little ugly. His impression of playing together was to just find a place to travel around, eat and drink, and work hard to gain fat.

But why sparring? We are all children who have not yet entered the ninja school...

Thinking of this, Choji glanced at Shikamaru with a slight complaint. The listless Shikamaru also looked regretful. Fighting and other things were really too troublesome for him.

However, he could not find any reason to refuse Naruto's proposal.

After all, he and Choji obviously took the initiative to become friends with Naruto, so they could only bite the bullet and become Naruto's opponents and start playing ninja house.

When it comes to ninjas, even when playing house, it's hard to avoid fighting.

At the beginning, the battle was not too intense, just a simple fight, but as a few people got into the state, the moves became more sophisticated.

This is what Naruto wants to see. He thinks about the gap between himself and his peers.

Inside the Hokage's office.

The Third Hokage was looking at the picture in the crystal ball with a smile on his face. As he gets older, he likes to see energetic young people, which helps to maintain a youthful mentality.

He wasn't surprised that Naruto became friends with Shikamaru and Choji.

This in itself was the result of his discussions with the Nara and Akimichi clan leaders. Nara Shikaku and Akimichi Tingza were Minato's former teammates, and they would definitely be happy to see Naruto becoming friends with their son.

And his only request is that Naruto's true identity cannot be revealed to Shikamaru and Choji.

Now it seems that Shikamaru and Choji completed their ideas perfectly, became friends with Naruto so quickly, and played ninja games.

What surprised the Third Hokage even more was Naruto's ninja talent in playing house.

It had been less than two months since he taught Naruto the ninja books. In such a short period of time, Naruto not only successfully refined chakra, but also performed well in physical skills.

To put it bluntly, Naruto can graduate and become a genin by only mastering the knowledge of the Ninja School and the Three Body Technique.

And at this age, a child with such talent.

In his impression, apart from Kakashi, there was only Itachi of the Uchiha family. The former was the youngest Jonin, and the latter also showed the potential to stand alone.

Moreover, Naruto's identity is still a Jinchuuriki, Minato's son, and Jiraiya's disciple. With such a relationship, Naruto can be considered one of his own and can be trained with confidence.

However, the bond between Naruto and himself is still a little weak, not absolute enough.

Just as the Third Hokage was thinking about the future, the door of the office was pushed open from the outside, and an old man with bandages wrapped around his body, leaving only one eye outside, appeared in front of the Third Hokage on crutches.

After the bandage man saw the smoke lingering in the office, he couldn't help but frown and said:

"Sarutobi, you are slacking off again. Your bad habit of smoking will only increase the probability of mission failure..."

"Danzo, I have stopped performing tasks on the front line for a long time. The smell of tobacco leaves can make me think better. I always give young people a chance to perform."

Danzo was silent, glanced at the picture on the crystal ball, and said: "Is this the Nine-Tailed Jinchuuriki Naruto? It seems that he has grown well in your hands, but I still think that only the root Jinchuuriki can get the most. Good growth.”

The Third Hokage looked deeply at Danzo: "Then he becomes a killing machine in your hands?"

Danzo said disapprovingly: "The Jinchuuriki themselves are killing machines. Training them into qualified swords can reduce many casualties on the battlefield. If the Jinchuuriki were there, we would not be so big on the Kumogakure battlefield this time." casualties, we will not be forced to negotiate."

"That's because the village lost too many elites on the Night of Nine Tails..."

Danzo's eyes flashed: "That's why I asked you to hand over the Jinchuuriki to me. It only takes me three years to train him into a Jonin to avenge what Kumo Ninja did to us."

The Third Hokage said meaningfully: "Danzo, what Konoha needs is not the old purple and Han from Iwagakure. What we need is Kirabi. You can't train Kirabi in your way."

Danzo looked at the Third Hokage for a long time before saying in a faint tone:

"Very good, it seems that you still have clear judgment and the decisiveness of a leader. If one day you hesitate, then you are not suitable to be Hokage, and I will take away the Jinchuuriki from you."

The Third Hokage looked deeply at Danzo: "That day will never happen! Danzo."
