Naruto: As a genin, I just want to live a normal life.

"Minato, you and Kaori must take good care of yourselves."

"Hmm." Minato Namikaze's expression turned slightly somber.

At this point, the matter of the Fourth Hokage had not yet been mentioned.

But having come this far, Hiruzen Sarutobi couldn't help but look at Yamato, who claimed to be a member of the Anbu: "Who will be the future Hokage of that village? I'm very curious."

"..."xN

The group exchanged glances, their eyes finally settling on Jiraiya.

"Old man. Your future self didn't do a good job as Hokage." Jiraiya pressed down on Naruto's head. Naruto, puzzled, scratched his head and asked, "The Third Hokage was fine!"

"It's just that the villagers don't like me."

Upon hearing this, Hiruzen Sarutobi immediately understood what was going on. His expression darkened slightly, and finally turned into a helpless sigh: "I see."

"It seems that as people get older, they make a lot of mistakes."

"Like this Wood Release plan, I shouldn't have started it."

Danzo Shimura pushed open the door and walked in, while Sakumo Hatake used the Body Flicker Technique to enter the room from outside the window: "I apologize, Third Hokage."

"It's nothing." Hiruzen Sarutobi waved to Sakumo White away when he saw Danzo Shimura storm in. After Sakumo Hatake disappeared, Danzo walked in and saw a large group of people inside. He locked his gaze on Jiraiya and sneered:

"Jiraiya, is this one of yours?"

"Get down here right now, I have something to say to Hiruzen!"

"Who is this guy? How dare he talk to the Hokage like that!" Naruto Uzumaki shouted, raising his fist, but Minato Namikaze quickly covered his mouth the next second, meeting Danzo's cold gaze: "I'm sorry, Elder Danzo. My child, cough cough. My friend is a bit immature. We'll leave now."

Both Akimichi Choza and Aburame Shiki felt a chill run down their spines when they saw Danzo: after all, Danzo was the man who inherited the darkness of ninja, and he was capable of doing any dark thing for the village.

Kakashi had heard of this person, but since Minato and the others had left, he also left.

“Danzo…” Yamato’s eyes flashed with a hint of reminiscence, and finally he pressed down on Sai, whose body was stiff: “Let’s go too.”

"Sakura."

"Ok!"

With Danzo's arrival, it was no longer convenient to continue the conversation. Jiraiya watched Minato and the others leave before finally speaking:

"Danzo. Don't think I don't know what you've done! Hmph!"

After Jiraiya finished speaking, he slammed the door and left, leaving Danzo standing there, completely bewildered.

"???"

Glancing at Jiraiya's departing figure, Danzo initially wanted to ask Jiraiya what kind of gunpowder he had ingested, but then he remembered Sakumo's words about the Hokage, which made him seem as if he had swallowed gunpowder. He went to Hiruzen Sarutobi's table and said in an icy tone:

"Hiruzen!"

"Why did you stop the Wood Release experiment?! Do you know what serious consequences this will have on the village?!"

Hiruzen Sarutobi coldly looked at Danzo: "Danzo, no matter what extent or what stage the Wood Release experiment has reached."

"Now I understand."

"The village can no longer be allowed to run rampant like this!"

"From today onwards, all human experiments involving Wood Release must cease!"

"Otherwise, don't blame me for taking action."

"Even my disciple Orochimaru doesn't have the authority to continue this plan!"

"you..."

"You'll regret this, Hiruzen!"

"I am the Hokage, Danzo!!"

Chapter 133 From Another World, Parental Love

Even if Hiruzen Sarutobi called a halt to the Wood Release experiment, the plan would never have stopped in the first place; it would only have gone from being overt to covert.

Upon receiving the news, Orochimaru immediately ordered his men to move the equipment to a secret base of the Root organization outside the village, preparing to continue his research.

in addition,

The experiment was successful.

Orochimaru hadn't expected Danzo's inspiration to be so useful, allowing him to combine Sage Jutsu curse seals with Hashirama's cells, thus cultivating experimental subjects who could use Wood Release chakra upon activating Sage Jutsu.

However, Orochimaru not only did not tell Danzo this, but also secretly extinguished the life of the successful child.

Of course, that child was one of the children of the Uzumaki clan. Only a child with bloodline abilities could withstand the combined power of the two.

At this moment, only a red-haired girl named Kayoko Uzumaki remained.

Orochimaru planned to make good use of this girl and turn her into his pawn...

......

We left the Hokage Building.

Naruto and the others immediately followed Minato Namikaze and arrived at the streets of Konoha Village for a stroll.

The first place is Ichiraku Ramen.

"So many people!! Are there really so many people in line?!" Naruto exclaimed excitedly from the back of the line.

"I didn't expect Ichiraku Ramen to be so popular so soon after it came to the village," Yamato said, scratching his cheek with some amazement.

"But I wonder how things are in that world now, a month has passed here?" Sai sighed.

"Is everything alright?" Sakura Haruno asked anxiously, Sasuke's image flashing through her mind.

Just then, another person joined the queue. Sakura Haruno turned her head slightly and saw a young man with black hair. She didn't pay much attention at first, but his good looks instantly made her look up again.

"So handsome."

"Hello." Shirahoshi held a book from Shueido in her hand, which was naturally not Icha Icha Paradise, because Icha Icha Paradise was a product that appeared several years after Minato's death. "Mikoto, is the security team having such a leisurely day? You've run away again."

As she spoke, Sakura Haruno noticed a very elegant young woman next to Shirahoshi, their bodies almost pressed against each other. Sakura felt a little regretful; such a handsome guy already had… wait a minute?! Mikoto?! Could it be?!

"Shirahoshi. My grandfather said he'd like to invite you to dinner today. Do you have any free time tonight?" Uchiha Mikoto said shyly.

"Well," Bai Xing glanced down at the book in her hand, "The Legend of the Queen of Loulan," an adventure novel copied from the Loulan Daily and published there.

"Okay. But we'll just eat, we won't talk about anything."

“Emmm—” Uchiha Mikoto puffed out her cheeks, looking exceptionally cute as a young lady in her prime.

But at this moment, Sakura Haruno looked dazed and didn't move an inch as the group moved forward. Naruto, who was chatting with Minato, noticed this and immediately shouted:

"Sakura!"

"What's wrong?!"

"Sasuke's, Sasuke's mother—" Sakura Haruno's mind went blank, thinking, could this handsome boy be Sasuke's father?!

But upon hearing the other person's name as Shirahoshi, and noticing that their clothes were clearly different from Mikoto Uchiha's: Shirahoshi was dressed casually, while Mikoto was wearing a police uniform with Uchiha markings.

After a while, when Shirahoshi, Mikoto, and Minato finished greeting each other, Minato finally understood Sakura Haruno's thoughts and said, "Sakura, don't be nervous."

"No matter what, Jonin Fugaku has now found a suitable marriage partner. Even if it weren't for Mikoto, someone else would have given birth to Sasuke."

Minato kept his voice down as much as possible, afraid that Shirahoshi and Mikoto would hear him.

However, Mikoto and Shirahoshi, being ninjas of considerable skill, naturally heard Minato's words. Shirahoshi remained silent, speechless, but Mikoto frowned: "What do you mean, 'Even without me, that annoying old man still gave birth to Sasuke?!'"

"Eh, Misaka-san, that's not what I meant."

"Then what do you mean? Can't Shirahoshi and I have a child named Sasuke?! I'm telling you, Shirahoshi and I will name our child Sasuke!"

"Private Marseille!" Minato bowed his head and apologized.

Shirahoshi: "......"

Naruto: “…”

Sakura Haruno: "..."

Sai: "..."

Yamato: "..."

"It seems like such a hassle," Yamato complained. Sai next to him nodded, and Shirahoshi also nodded silently.

“But even so, Sasuke’s mother has changed. The future is still the future we know. Sigh. Speaking of which, if we go back… can we come back again?” Naruto said abruptly, his gaze falling on Minato, who was being scolded by Mikoto.

"What do you mean, go back? What are you talking about?" Jiraiya and even the members of the Shiranui Cloud Squad did not reveal anything about the future.

Therefore, Tsunade, Shirahoshi, and Mikoto should not have known about this incident.

At this moment, Mikoto's doubts made everyone in the future tense up slightly.

“They should go back to their home,” Shirahoshi explained for Naruto, and Mikoto nodded in agreement: “What? It’s not like they can’t come back.”

"but."

"Why do you look so much like Minato?" Mikoto glanced at Naruto, then looked at Minato in front of her, both of them sweating profusely.

"I guess they're cousins."

"Oh~!! No wonder." Mikoto suddenly realized.

Yamato and Sai, however, felt something was amiss, wondering why Shirahoshi kept speaking up for them.

"You must be Shirahoshi, a genin. I've heard of you; you're very skilled." Sai took the opportunity to gather information.

"Oh. But I've never heard of you. Sorry." Bai Xing responded indifferently, observing the four of them for a while but not finding anything special. She figured she would have to check their ROOM space separately.

Sai, unfazed by Shirahoshi's coldness, continued:

"However, since Shirahoshi is such a powerful genin, why doesn't he consider being promoted to jonin?"

"..."

As soon as Sai finished speaking, the surrounding area seemed to fall silent instantly. Mikoto stopped asking Minato questions, Minato stopped making excuses, Naruto and Sakura stopped whispering to each other, and even Yamato couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat. Several pairs of bright eyes looked at Sai and Shirahoshi.

Bai Xing remained silent for a long while, staring at the novel in her hand, before finally closing it and glancing sideways at Sai:
