Naruto: Who made him a ninja?

"Lord Hizawa, the negotiations with the Hidden Mist went smoothly this time. People from the Hidden Mist Village have already arrived, and even Elder Yuan has come in person."

Konoha, on the roof of the Hokage Building.

wrinkles, a smile appeared on Hiruzen Sarutobi's face. Although the smile was somewhat forced, he managed to smile.

This negotiation with the Hidden Mist was much easier than expected, at least without too many complications.

At first, Hiruzen Sarutobi was really frightened by this news.

After all, it doesn't take long to travel from the Land of Waves to the Hidden Mist, and Hizawa has also been to the Hidden Mist.

This means that this guy may have left the Flying Thunder God Technique in the Hidden Mist. If he really wants to do something, wouldn't it be just a matter of thought?

Fortunately, Hizawa didn't play any tricks this time. Everything is still relatively normal, and it's not even a bad thing for Konoha.

Profit distribution? That's easy to talk about!

Moreover, according to the negotiations, Hiruzen Sarutobi also discovered that Hizawa was building alliances for Konoha.

The small country ninja village plan is progressing smoothly so far. Although it is obviously difficult for Konoha to quickly recover its costs.

But at least there is a stable market, and they can continuously make money from it.

Besides, the initial investment was made by the Daimyo, not by Konoha, so what's there to be afraid of!

Under Konoha's leadership, everyone has a good development. In addition, Konoha has aided the Rain Village and the Sand Village, allowing them to change.

It is impossible for the Hidden Mist not to have any ideas, especially since their current 'leader' came to power with Konoha's 'help'!

Their intention to join is not difficult to understand.

"Elder Yuan is coming too?"

Hizawa sat opposite Hiruzen Sarutobi, took a sip of tea, and smiled.

"I hope there won't be any problems with his health. After all, he's so old, he can't stand the torment."

"Don't underestimate old people, especially ninjas. Look at how old Onoki is, and he's still walking briskly."

Hiruzen Sarutobi snorted softly, but soon his expression became a little serious again.

"But speaking of which, are you confident about this Chunin Exam? I really didn't expect Orochimaru to use the Impure World Reincarnation.

I was too lenient with him in the past. I let him see many forbidden techniques, even the Second Hokage..."

Speaking of this, he couldn't help but shake his head again.

The Second Hokage was his teacher, and he really felt uncomfortable being manipulated like this.

Disturbing the rest of the dead is already a bad thing, and now using the Hokage to deal with Konoha is unacceptable even to Hiruzen Sarutobi.

According to the report, the Second Hokage who was reincarnated also possesses the Flying Thunder God Technique, which makes Hiruzen Sarutobi quite worried.

Fortunately, Hizawa didn't seem to care at all. This guy directly defeated the person like the First Hokage, which made Hiruzen Sarutobi able to smile.

Otherwise, he would definitely be wearing a long face now.

"The technique is a good technique. I've even discussed with Teacher Tsunade how to use this technique more rationally in the future."

Hizawa shrugged, looked up at the Hokage Rock behind him, and said indifferently.

"For example, it's a pity to just kill those death row inmates. It's better to kill them and then use Impure World Reincarnation to bring them back to life.

Let them work for Konoha, perform the most difficult tasks, target their villages from their previous lives, and slowly atone for their sins.

Moreover, these guys don't need to eat or drink, and they don't need to rest, and they won't get hurt or die. It's great to use them as cannon fodder and laborers.

Most importantly, it can save Konoha a lot of money, and there's no need to consider compensation. This is a treasure left to Konoha by the Second Hokage!"

"..."

Hiruzen Sarutobi stared blankly at Hizawa. Is this what I'm talking about?

No, where did your evil thoughts come from?

"Your ideas are too extreme. Tsunade is probably..."

"Alas, it's a pity that Teacher seems to have some concerns."

Before Hiruzen Sarutobi could finish his words, Hizawa sighed. This sentence made Hiruzen Sarutobi relieved, but he just picked up the tea and took a sip to calm himself down when Hizawa spoke again.

"But she asked me to write a detailed report and see who among the past dead were extremely sinful and had outstanding abilities. I think there shouldn't be any big problems with this matter."

"Pfft—"

Hiruzen Sarutobi almost spat the tea on Hizawa's body. Looking at Hizawa's indifferent appearance, Hiruzen Sarutobi was a little silent.

He had to admit that he himself seemed a little tempted.

"Hizawa, is this matter a little..."

He thought for a while and couldn't help but speak, but Hizawa interrupted him again before he could finish.

"Lord Hokage, are you worried about this Chunin Exam?

Indeed, the things Orochimaru has done are a bit bad. The Second Hokage has appeared.

Next, I'm afraid it will be the First Hokage, but please rest assured, Lord Hokage, this matter is not a big pressure for me.

Moreover, I still have helpers. I believe that as long as it is handled properly, there will be no problems."

"..."

Hiruzen Sarutobi rubbed his eyebrows. He seemed to understand what it meant to be talking at cross-purposes.

Was he talking about the same thing as him?

Before, he seemed to want to talk about his concerns about the Impure World Reincarnation, but this guy was talking to him about 'free labor'.

Turning around, he expressed some views on 'free labor', and this guy was telling him about his confidence in the Impure World Reincarnation?

Hiruzen Sarutobi really didn't know whether to laugh or cry, but he had figured out two things.

One is that Hizawa doesn't seem to be worried about Orochimaru and the others, and the other is that he probably doesn't want him to ask too much about these things.

After all, it won't be long before he officially retires, and Tsunade will become the new Hokage.

New Hokage, new atmosphere, they have their own judgment, and it would be bad if he said too much.

“You brat, you really are a bit ruthless.”

After thinking through these messy things, Hiruzen Sarutobi looked at Shūzawa with a somewhat wry smile.

“When people get old, they can’t help but care and overthink. In the eyes of you young people, it becomes nagging, right?”

“Lord Hokage, you’re overthinking it.”

Shūzawa shrugged, shaking his head with a smile.

“Having elders care is never a bad thing.”

“You.”

Hiruzen Sarutobi wouldn’t believe Shūzawa’s nonsense. He shook his head and looked into the distance.

“It’s good that you’re prepared. I said I’m already old, so the future of Konoha will have to be entrusted to you.

As the Hokage's assistant, this time you will have to shoulder more obligations and responsibilities. You need to take on this reception task properly.

Your teacher still has some things to take care of, so you can’t slack off.”

“Yes, yes, yes, I know. I will do these things properly.”

Shūzawa nodded. He wouldn’t refuse this matter. Just as he stood up to take his leave, Hiruzen Sarutobi looked at Shūzawa curiously.

“Speaking of which, I’ve been feeling a bit strange, but I couldn’t quite put my finger on it.

Now I’ve finally realized it. This is the first time I’ve seen you wearing a forehead protector. I must say, it looks pretty good!”

“A forehead protector?”

Hearing this, Shūzawa couldn’t help but touch his forehead. Come to think of it, this really seemed to be the first time he had worn one.

It’s just that this forehead protector wasn’t what he really wanted to wear.

With the constant beating of his ‘heartbeat,’ Shūzawa’s control over his surroundings seemed to become more and more excellent.

This kind of control was very difficult to describe, as if in his perception, everything around him seemed to be deconstructed!

The various attributes of chakra, in his eyes, seemed to have no major changes.

They had all been transformed into a pure, azure-like ‘pure power’!

Although natural chakra was very different, at this moment, these natural forces also seemed so friendly.

It was as if, as long as Shūzawa wanted to, he could easily absorb them!

“This feeling is truly wonderful…”

Shūzawa murmured. Although he knew that absorbing these natural forces was simple, using them was not a simple matter.

But for replenishing energy, it was already an unimaginable thing!

He could completely absorb any power he wanted anytime, anywhere. This peculiar control was completely beyond what ordinary people could imagine.

In addition to this, he also seemed to be able to clearly feel a special fluctuation belonging to spatial power.

That kind of distinct space, in his perception, seemed to have a special charm.

Coupled with the new trick he obtained through Orochimaru’s [Ninja World Scientist], the grasp of space was so clear and definite at this moment!

And in his mind, a chaotic space seemed to appear.

Within this space, nothing could be seen. Everything seemed to be in its most primitive state.

But as his ‘heartbeat’ continued to vibrate, ripples appeared in this space.

As the ripples spread, the special power structure was completely presented within this space.

Moreover, he seemed to see a strange figure standing in this dim world.

As if comprehending, or like a statue, without any sound.

“Chaos… Unity… Truly a wonderful thing…”

This was the first time Shūzawa had discovered that he didn’t quite understand the information that appeared in his mind, but the system in his eyes showed a special prompt.

[A large number of mutations have appeared in the bloodline, please pay attention to observation]

A large number of mutations again?

Every time a mutation prompt appeared, Shūzawa knew that he was undergoing ‘evolution of life.’

This kind of evolution was peculiar and wonderful, but also painful and extreme.

This time it was so ordinary that Shūzawa was somewhat surprised, but he also noticed the difference in his body the moment he opened his eyes.

“The fire of life is even more vigorous, and…”

Shūzawa touched his left chest. His heart was constantly beating, but he clearly felt that there was a very special energy surging within his body.

This energy enveloped his ‘fire of life,’ allowing his ‘fire of life’ to burn fiercely!

Moreover, he could clearly feel that as long as his ‘fire of life’ did not extinguish, it seemed that he could live forever.

“Why does it feel a bit like Naruto saving Might Guy?”

Naruto's method of saving Might Guy, who had used ‘Night Guy,’ was simple and crude.

He directly ignited the fire of life, allowing Might Guy, who had almost turned into charcoal and was drifting away in the wind, to come back to life!

Shūzawa couldn’t do what Naruto did, but he seemed to be able to ensure that his fire of life would not extinguish.

Moreover, he could cover himself with Might Guy’s situation!

And this strong ‘fire of life’ fed back to Shūzawa was a feeling of ‘ceaseless life.’

It was as if infinite vitality surrounded him, and he didn’t need to worry about encountering a situation like Naruto!

There were many cheats in the ninja world, and Naruto and Sasuke were obviously the biggest cheats.

After all, their cheats were directly granted by the ‘administrator’!

But they were also the most tragic cheats, because after they were used up, they were ‘banned.’

Shūzawa didn’t need to worry about these things. All his growth was based on his own efforts!

“It really is an excellent effect. Perhaps this kind of situation can become better next time.”
