Inside the Hokage's office, the atmosphere was tense.

"Naruto, how do you know who your parents are?"

The Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen's voice was filled with a hint of doubt and curiosity.

Naruto raised his head and looked firmly at the respected old man in front of him: "I guessed it."

Sarutobi Hiruzen frowned slightly, seemingly not believing what Naruto said: "Really? Didn't someone tell you that?"

Naruto nodded vigorously: "Really, Grandpa. I haven't seen my parents since I was a child, and I have always lived alone.

But I know my name is Uzumaki Naruto, and my last name is Uzumaki. But the Uzumaki clan was wiped out a long time ago, and I think there must be some connection between them.

Later, I saw photos of the successive Hokage of Konoha Village in books. When I saw the fourth Hokage, Minato Namikaze, I suddenly had a very special feeling in my heart.

Plus, I heard that Minato's wife Kushina is also from the Uzumaki clan, and she was the previous generation of the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki...

So, I guess they might be my parents.”

Sarutobi Hiruzen listened to Naruto's story quietly, with a hint of admiration in his eyes.

Sarutobi Hiruzen didn't expect that Naruto, a seemingly innocent and simple child, was actually so delicate and sensitive in his heart.

"I see... Naruto, you are really smart."

Sarutobi Hiruzen patted Naruto's shoulder gently.

“However, there are still many truths about your parents that you don’t know.

Now that you have grown up, it is time for you to understand something..."

"Actually, there is no need for you to remind me. I know this matter very well because I have seen my father, Minato Namikaze, with my own eyes." Naruto said.

Hearing this, Sarutobi Hiruzen stood up in surprise and asked, "Naruto, you said you have seen Minato?"

Naruto nodded and answered affirmatively: "Yes, it is in my sealed space. When my father sealed the Nine-Tails into my body, he left a backup plan."

You know, just when Naruto was led into the Hokage's office by Sarutobi Hiruzen, Naruto had already had an in-depth communication with Minato.

After careful consideration, Naruto decided to tell Sarutobi Hiruzen about Minato's appearance in the sealed space.

In this way, not only can Sarutobi Hiruzen be completely relieved, but it can also show him the strength of the guarantee behind this matter.

With the Fourth Hokage Minato Namikaze personally supervising Naruto, all these problems will be solved, whether Naruto will suddenly lose control and go berserk because of the Nine-Tails, or whether Naruto will betray Konoha Village.

Moreover, when Naruto suddenly learned ninjutsu such as Rasengan and Flying Thunder God in the future, there was no need for further explanation.

At this time, Sarutobi Hiruzen had chosen to believe Naruto's words. He took a deep puff of cigarette, and his originally frowned brows gradually relaxed.

After all, Naruto was always under strict supervision, and anyone who tried to get close to him would be closely monitored and reported promptly by the Anbu personnel.

In this situation, it would be almost impossible for anyone to approach Naruto unnoticed and teach him ninjutsu techniques.

If it is true as Naruto said that it was his father Minato Namikaze who taught him personally, then everything makes sense.

Naruto became a perfect Jinchūriki at the age of three, able to mobilize and use the Nine-Tails' chakra, so everything made sense.

As the fourth Hokage, Minato possesses a deep will of fire.

Handing Naruto over to Minato for teaching can ensure that Naruto receives the best guidance and training.

Thinking of this, the doubts in Sarutobi Hiruzen's heart gradually dissipated, and Sarutobi Hiruzen felt an unprecedented sense of ease and relief in his heart.

"Naruto, did Minato say anything to you?" Sarutobi Hiruzen asked softly, his eyes full of concern and expectation.

Naruto raised his head and looked at the white-haired old man in front of him, with mixed emotions in his heart.

Naruto took a deep breath and then said slowly:

"My father said that before he died, he entrusted me to you and hoped that you could take good care of me. But you didn't do it, and he was very angry."

After hearing what Naruto said, Sarutobi Hiruzen showed a trace of guilt on his face.

He sighed and said in a heavy tone: "Really? This is what I should do. I betrayed Minato's trust. I am really sorry for you, Naruto."

"Hmph, don't just say sorry, what's the use!" Naruto suddenly raised his voice angrily.

Naruto's expression also turned serious.

"How about being more practical and giving me some more compensation?"

After saying that, Naruto smiled and stretched out his right hand.

Sarutobi Hiruzen was stunned at first, then he laughed helplessly.

He understood what Naruto meant. Although this child was naughty at times, he was very kind and pure deep down.

"Okay, Naruto, what compensation do you want?" said Sarutobi Hiruzen.

Naruto's eyes lit up after hearing this, and he thought for a moment and said:

"Not only do you have to double the inheritance my parents left behind, but I also want you to promise me one thing."

"What is it, Naruto, please tell me, as long as it is within my ability, I will satisfy you."

"I hope that no matter what difficulties and challenges I encounter in the future, you will believe in me and support me unconditionally, just like Minato!"

Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at Naruto's determined gaze and his heart couldn't help but move.

Sarutobi Hiruzen nodded and said solemnly: "Okay, Naruto, I promise you. No matter when and where, I will stand by you, support you, and believe in you!"

Naruto heard this and smiled with satisfaction, and said goodbye to Sarutobi Hiruzen.

Naruto also got the compensation package he had been longing for, 8 million taels and 10 C-level or above ninjutsu scrolls, and left satisfied.

……

Sarutobi Hiruzen slowly stood up, left his seat and walked to the window. Looking at the beautiful moonlight outside the window, he couldn't help but feel a surge of emotion in his heart.

Sarutobi Hiruzen recalled the moment when he passed the position of Hokage to Namikaze Minato, as if it was still vivid in his mind.

"Naruto, I hope you can grow up to be an outstanding ninja like Minato, and become a strong shield to protect Konoha Village." Sarutobi Hiruzen murmured to himself.

Immediately afterwards, Sarutobi Hiruzen gently waved to Kakashi in the darkness.

Kakashi quickly appeared and asked respectfully, "Third Hokage, what can I do for you?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at Kakashi and said slowly:

"Kakashi, from now on, cancel all Anbu surveillance of Naruto.

You should stay with Naruto from now on. Naruto is the child of Minato and Kushina, I believe you already know it.

From now on, I will no longer hinder Naruto from making friends. You should also pay more attention to and take care of Naruto, and teach Naruto ninjutsu and taijutsu together with Might Guy."

Hearing this, Kakashi's body trembled slightly.

He whispered, "Third Hokage, is this true?"

In reality, only a few years had passed since Minato-sensei passed away.

But Kakashi had been silently watching Naruto from behind, burying his deep emotions deep in his heart and never appearing in front of Naruto.

At this moment, when Kakashi heard the news, he was so excited that he could hardly control himself.

"Okay, go ahead. I'm really sorry, Kakashi." Sarutobi Hiruzen's eyes became dim.

"It's okay, Third Hokage, I understand you. You must have had your own considerations for doing that before." Kakashi said in a respectful tone.

Sarutobi Hiruzen patted Kakashi on the shoulder and said:

"Alright, alright, Kakashi, go ahead."

"Yes, the Third Hokage."
