Chapter 7: One Friend Is Enough For Me To Have Grandpa Third Hokage.

The spring was warm and the flowers were blooming. When the winter snow began to melt, it was also the day when the ninja academy started.

The Third Hokage came to Naruto one day in advance, saying that he wanted to give Naruto a surprise.

"Grandpa Hokage, you are here."

Naruto, who was preparing to make a meal, withdrew his hand from Rat Treasure, silently picked up a cup of instant noodles, poured the hot water in it, and chatted with the Third Hokage while waiting for the noodles to cook.

'Alas, I could only eat ramen after this old fox was gone.' Naruto sighed inwardly.

"Yeah, Naruto, have you forgotten? I said I would give you a surprise last time." the Third Hokage sat down on the chair with a smile.

"What surprise? Grandpa?" Naruto looked at the Third Hokage calmly.

'Wasn't it just a form of the ninja academy? I can say that I already have the power of Genin!' Naruto thought silently in his heart. 

"Here it is! Admission form of Ninja academy!" The Third Hokage handed Naruto an envelope.

He was used to Naruto acting like he was not interested in anything.

Since the Third Hokage noticed that Naruto had changed faintly that night, he not only strengthened Anbu's surveillance but also spent more time checking Naruto's every move through the crystal ball.

Then he found that Naruto became more withdrawn, he no longer liked to go to the street, no longer liked to play pranks, his only outdoor activities were to go fishing, picking mushrooms, and occasionally going to the street to go to Ichiraku ramen when there were no people at night to eat ramen, or look here and there, pick up trash or something.

The rest of the time was spent sleeping at home and doing nothing.

The Third Hokage was also enjoying this, although the playful Naruto was gone, but this more and more withdrawn Naruto seemed to be good, at least he didn't show any hatred or curse others, and the seal of Nine Tails was also stable.

Not to mention that he often came to instil the will of fire in Naruto.

"Naruto, you are already 6 years old, and you are not young anymore. It's time to go out and make friends. It's not good for your health to stay alone all the time."

"I have you, Grandpa."

"Haha~ I'm very happy to be your friend, but I'm old, I can't keep up with the times, and I don't understand what you young people like, so friends of the same age are still very necessary."

The Third Hokage felt very relieved when he heard Naruto's words. It seemed that his plan was very successful.

"But…"

"Naruto, did you forget that you still have to prove to everyone that you can protect the village?"

"I haven't forgotten."

"To be a hero, you need strength, and Ninja Academy can teach you how to be a ninja! Teach you powerful ninjutsu! Only then can you have a chance to prove yourself, Naruto."

The Third Hokage persuaded him earnestly.

"Okay, Grandpa Hokage, I will go to the ninja academy to study."

Naruto sighed.

"You're a good boy. Do you need me to find someone to take you to the academy tomorrow?"

"No need, I know the way."

Naruto sneered inwardly, wasn't Anbu around him one of his people?

"Well, go to bed early today and eat fewer instant noodles in the future. A ninja needs a healthy body."

"I understand, Grandpa Third Hokage, goodbye."

...

"He's finally gone. It seems that the personality I created did not arouse the suspicion of the Third Hokage, and he seems to be very satisfied."

Naruto opened the instant noodles cup and ate silently.

He planned to eat something good when he went to the bathroom to take a shower later, such as miso noodles worth a lot of money.

Yes, at the moment Naruto's Rat treasure had hundreds of bowls of this kind of ramen, and none of them were cheap.

And the reason why he often went to the store to eat was also to consume the living expenses given by the Third Hokage and to conceal his system.

After 6 months, Naruto no longer had to worry about having no money or food but was distressed because there was too much to eat and money that he couldn't use. 

That was why Naruto often slept at home and didn't go out.

As for fishing, it was also a show for the Third Hokage.

And more than half a year had passed, and through Rat Treasure, Naruto had accumulated a lot of attribute points, as well as a lot of daily necessities, or useless things.

Of course, the most important thing was the rewards.

...

In half a year, through the rewards that he obtained every ten days through Rat Treasure, Naruto even received the Kagura Mind Eye, as well as Rasengan, Great Fireball, and other skills, and even received Shuriken, Kunai, and Naruto's very desired explosive tag.

It could be said that there were not as many Chūnin with the number of explosion tags as him.

In ninjutsu alone, Naruto had surpassed the number of ninjutsu mastered by a Genin.

There were also other miscellaneous things.

Moreover, Naruto also directly saved some important ninjutsu and waited for six years to upgrade and synthesize them.

Of course, this did not affect the mastery of ninjutsu already acquired.

Looking at the stuff inside the Rat treasure, Naruto was also full of happiness.

His future was promising!
