"Let Naruto leave freely?"
Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at his son Asuma’s stubbled face and shook his head with so disappointnt.
Then he began to seriously advise him:
"Asuma, do you really think Naruto can escape from Konoha holding the Scroll of Seals with so many people watching him?"
"Uh, no!" Asuma shook his head seriously.
Naruto Uzumaki’s power as a Jinchūriki is strong, and his talent is not bad either, but with all those people monitoring him, escaping is impossible!
So!
His earlier worries were unnecessary!
"In that case, why worry?" Hiruzen finally nodded, but his gaze fell again on the crystal ball.
Then,
He saw Naruto inside the crystal ball taking the Scroll of Seals. On Hiruzen’s old, wrinkled face appeared a hint of amusent!
The Scroll of Seals!
Even if Naruto took it, there was no way he could master it. This ti, it could even earn so goodwill!
"Father, I think we shouldn’t teach Naruto for now. Since Kakashi wants him, we should let him have him!" Sarutobi Asuma looked at Naruto in the crystal ball and spoke.
Naruto’s personality is too casual. With his character, it’s certain there won’t be much goodwill between him and Naruto. If their relationship turns sour, it would be a loss for us!
"Not teach?" Hiruzen frowned and said to Asuma, "You know I have high expectations for you. In the future, you will compete for the position of Hokage. But... Naruto, as the Jinchūriki, is soone you must win over. If Naruto fully controls the Nine-Tails in the future, no one in Konoha will oppose you becoming Hokage!"
Hiruzen had a clear plan—to pave the way for Asuma.
If he could beco Jinchūriki Naruto’s teacher, just that qualification alone would push him toward that position.
If Asuma becos Hokage, the Sarutobi clan will flourish even more.
With generations of developnt, the Sarutobi clan could beco the strongest clan in the Land of Fire!
"Father... Naruto’s personality is too stubborn. If I beco his teacher, it might lead to constant conflict, which would be a loss for both of us," Asuma explained the pros and cons.
But in the end, he looked at his father: "Father, as long as you control Naruto, nothing unexpected will happen!"
"Uh~!"
Silence fell inside the Hokage’s office!
After a long quiet mont, Hiruzen Sarutobi slowly nodded.
"Alright then, Naruto’s personality is indeed a bit stubborn. Let Kakashi help you discipline him. Kakashi is lazy by nature, so maybe... they’ll clash sotis!"
"I’ll find another chance later to let you get closer to Naruto!"
"I understand!"
Asuma Sarutobi nodded.
"In that case... your disciples need to change too!"
Hiruzen rubbed his chin thoughtfully.
"That brat from the Nara clan must beco your student. Their family has great influence in Konoha. Also, take in the Yamanaka daughter and the Akimichi child!"
"These three families have been close for generations and are major clans in Konoha. If we can win them over, they will support you!"
Hiruzen was thinking deeply, very strategic.
He had arranged his son’s future carefully, even paving the way.
Given a decade or so, he could really push Asuma to that position.
"These three big clans in Konoha?"
Asuma nodded, understanding the strength and potential of these clans’ heirs.
Not bad at all!
If they beco his students, they might not reach the level of the legendary Sannin, but their achievents would still be impressive!
His father really cared.
"Alright."
Hiruzen nodded, but then seed to rember sothing else.
"By the way, the order in the Sarutobi Police Force has been a bit chaotic recently. If you have ti, get involved in managing the Police Forces—it’ll be good for you!"
"Yes!"
After this heartfelt conversation about their future plans, their gaze fell on the crystal ball!
Then,
They saw Naruto holding the massive Scroll of Seals tightly in his arms. Then, he carefully pushed open the door of the wooden pavilion.
He peeked outside to check that there was no movent. Only then did he step out.
Konoha Wooden Pavilion
"Is anyone here?" Naruto Uzumaki looked around the empty space. He whispered softly, a lucky smile appearing on his face.
That expression was like a thief who had succeeded without being noticed.
However, inside his mind, the Nine-Tails kept speaking: "There are four ninja behind the wall fifty ters to your right, watching your every move."
"One person is watching you from one hundred ters behind—probably the teacher who talked to you today."
"Further away, two more people are rushing this way. They’re moving fast."
The environnt around the Nine-Tails, as well as the watchers nearby, were described clearly.
It was like a voice broadcast from an all-around radar map.
Naruto’s lucky smile did not fade, but inside his mind, a storm kept flashing: "As expected, even if they noticed my unusual behavior, they’re cautious and dare not act rashly."
"They’re constantly watching !"
"And the one watching from one hundred ters behind is probably Mizuki-sensei. As for why he told about the Scroll of Seals’s existence, it must also be related to the Scroll of Seals."
Thinking this, Naruto tightened his arms around the Scroll of Seals instinctively.
This was sothing he had stolen. Before he learned it himself, he wouldn’t teach it to anyone.
"As for the people rushing over here, they must be Hiruzen Sarutobi’s backup, right?"
Uzumaki Naruto seed to be thinking deeply, various ideas flashing through his mind.
However, the final result was only one thing—he couldn’t escape!
"Kid, have you decided what to do?"
The Nine-Tails sensed Naruto’s hesitation and smiled in the spiritual space.
"The ones watching you might not act, but those coming behind will arrive any mont now!"
"Then I’ll leave this troubleso place first!"
Naruto kept recalling plans in his mind and tried to think about what Genya would do in his place.
Over the years, he had followed Genya and learned so things.
Thoughts kept flashing through his mind, but in the end, Naruto decided to leave first.
That ant escaping with the Scroll of Seals, shaking off those watching him, and while they hadn’t found him yet, morizing the ninjutsus inside the scroll!
Next, he just needed ti!
With that thought, Uzumaki Naruto stepped out of the wooden pavilion and ran straight outside the village, moving quickly!
He really looked like a thief who had just gotten away with sothing!
As he moved, the people watching him also sprang into action and hurriedly followed.
At the sa ti, not far away, Mizuki with white hair also appeared, murmured sothing under his breath, and then followed after them!
