Reborn Naruto: Starting with its own system

After sending Konohamaru home, Naruto walked alone on the quiet street, the moonlight shining on him, casting a long shadow. His steps were steady and firm, and with respect and longing for the Third Hokage in his heart, he slowly came to the Third Hokage's grave.

Standing in front of the tomb, Naruto stared at the words on the tombstone quietly, and memories flooded into his heart like a tide. The kind face of the Third Hokage seemed to appear before his eyes again. His teachings, his protection, and everything he had done for Konoha Village were deeply imprinted in Naruto's heart.

Naruto gently squatted down and reached out to touch the cold tombstone, as if he could feel the remaining warmth of the Third Hokage. His eyes revealed a complex emotion of gratitude, nostalgia, and determination for the future.

At this moment, a crazy idea suddenly popped up in Naruto's mind - should he dig up the grave and revive the Third Generation? As soon as this idea appeared, it grew wildly in his heart like a weed.

Just as he was about to take action, a voice suddenly reached Naruto's ears: "Naruto, what are you doing here so late at night?"

Naruto looked back and saw Kakashi's figure was a little hazy in the moonlight. He was startled and the crazy idea he had just had was instantly suppressed. He was so absorbed in his thoughts just now that his perception seemed to be temporarily blocked.

Kakashi slowly approached Naruto, with a hint of doubt in his eyes. "Naruto, what are you doing here alone so late at night?" His voice was particularly clear in the silent night sky.

Naruto tried hard to control his inner turmoil and to restore his expression to a calm state. He scratched his head slightly and said with a hint of honesty and sincerity: "Teacher Kakashi, I just returned to the village today and wanted to come and see the Third Generation Grandfather, so I came here."

Kakashi looked at Naruto, his eyes showing relief. "Let's go, Tsunade-sama and Jiraiya-sama asked me to find you and they seem to have something to tell you," Kakashi said, and took Naruto to the Hokage's office.

When Naruto and Kakashi stepped into the Hokage's office, Tsunade, Jiraiya and a group of Konoha's high-ranking officials suddenly came into view. Among them, the gloomy man sitting next to him particularly attracted Naruto's attention. It was Danzo Shimura. This man had always bothered Naruto, and Naruto even had the idea of ​​getting rid of him many times.

Kakashi was keenly aware of Naruto's abnormality and patted his shoulder gently, offering silent comfort. Jiraiya saw Naruto, cleared his throat, and began to solemnly introduce everyone to Naruto: "Naruto, these three are our Konoha's senior executives. This is the advisor Mito Kado En, this is Utatane Koharu, and this is the leader of the Root, Shimura Danzo. We have just had an in-depth discussion and unanimously agreed that your performance in the Chunin Exam was extremely outstanding, and decided to promote you to Chunin. In addition, Lady Tsunade, in view of your strong strength, proposed that after she takes office as Hokage, she hopes that you can join the Anbu directly under the Hokage. What do you think?"

Naruto was slightly startled, with mixed emotions in his heart. On the one hand, he was happy to be promoted to Chunin, because the main mission was finally completed. On the other hand, Tsunade's proposal for him to join the Anbu directly under the Hokage made him hesitate.

He glanced at Shimura Danzo again, and the disgust in his heart was still strong. He knew Danzo's methods and ambitions very well. If he joined the Anbu, he would have more contact with Danzo, and he might really kill him.

Kakashi looked at Naruto and said softly, "Naruto, this is a rare opportunity. You can serve the village better."

Naruto was silent for a moment, then raised his head and looked firmly at Tsunade and Jiraiya: "I am grateful for being promoted to Chunin, but I need time to consider joining the Anbu."

Tsunade frowned slightly. She understood Naruto's concerns. "Naruto, you are very strong. I want to put you in a position that is more suitable for you."

Jiraiya also nodded: "Naruto, this is an important decision, you should think about it carefully. But no matter what choice you make, we believe that you will work hard for the future of Konoha."

Mitomon En and Utane Koharu exchanged a look, they also felt Naruto's determination. They knew that this problem would take time to solve.

At this time, there was a brief silence in the Hokage's office, and everyone was waiting for Naruto's final decision.

At this moment, Kakashi looked at the hesitant Naruto, and then glanced at Danzo beside him. His eyes narrowed slightly, as if he instantly understood Naruto's concerns.

When Naruto just returned to the village, Danzo tried to send someone to control Naruto. However, of the two people sent out, one died tragically at his hands, and the other also died at the hands of others. Later, Kakashi spent a long time with Naruto, and after various analyses, he was almost certain that the mysterious "other" was Naruto. From this point of view, Naruto is very likely to have known that the mastermind behind it is Danzo. Kakashi thought to himself that in such a situation, it is not difficult to understand Naruto's hesitation to join the Anbu. He looked at Naruto worriedly, and then glanced at Danzo vigilantly.

Then he said, "Tsunade-sama, Jiraiya-sama. I don't think you need to force Naruto now. Although Naruto is very powerful now, he has only been a ninja for a short time. I suggest that he continue to stay in Team 7 to perform missions, and then let him enter the Anbu after accumulating experience."

When Kakashi said this, the atmosphere in the Hokage's office stagnated slightly. Tsunade frowned slightly and fell into deep thought, while Jiraiya looked at Naruto thoughtfully.

Mitomonen and Utatane Koharu looked at each other, and they also understood that Kakashi's worries were not unreasonable. After all, although Naruto's growth was rapid, it was indeed as Kakashi said, he had only been a ninja for a short time, and perhaps he needed more experience.

Danzo still had no expression on his face, but there seemed to be a hint of unpleasantness in his gloomy eyes. He naturally didn't want Naruto to continue to move freely outside, because he couldn't control Naruto, which might cause variables to his plan.

Naruto was filled with gratitude when he heard Kakashi's words. He was grateful that Kakashi could understand his concerns and speak for him. He looked at Kakashi with a firm look in his eyes.

Tsunade was silent for a moment, then slowly said: "Kakashi has a point. Naruto, since you still have doubts, we will not force you to join the Anbu. You will continue to stay in Team 7 to perform missions and gain experience. When you think the time is right, we will discuss this issue again."

Jiraiya nodded in agreement, "That's right, Naruto. You still have a lot of room to grow, so work on yourself first."

Naruto breathed a sigh of relief. He bowed deeply to Tsunade and Jiraiya: "Thank you, Granny Tsunade, Uncle Jiraiya. I will definitely work hard to improve myself and make greater contributions to the village."
