Chapter 2
Gurgle...
After half a night of tossing and turning, although the Ouroboros bracelet absorbed Ashura's chakra and replenished Naruto's current body, after all, because the Nine-Tails was taken away by Otsutsuki Urashiki, Naruto's body is currently quite weak, and he is even more hungry.
So, Naruto immediately rushed to his own refrigerator, which still had a lot of milk that was about to expire, cold rice balls and other foods. These things were given to Naruto every few days with the consent of the Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen.
In a short while, Naruto cleared out the stock in the refrigerator, and his hunger was completely eliminated.
He patted his bulging belly and glanced at the alarm clock on the bedside. It was already past two in the morning. He felt at ease in his heart, and quickly lay down on the bed and fell asleep quickly.
……
It was not until nine o'clock in the morning that Naruto woke up. When he opened his eyes, he saw a person sitting at the dining table. He was shocked. He looked closely and found that it was Sarutobi Hiruzen wearing the Hokage's divine robe.
"Hey, little Naruto, you're finally awake!"
"Ah, grandpa, why are you here?���Naruto pretended to be calm and said,"When did this Sarutobi Hiruzen come? Damn, the tattoo on my left wrist is...……"
While thinking, Naruto glanced at his left arm exposed outside the quilt with a guilty look.
Sarutobi Hiruzen showed a kind smile and said,"Of course I came to see you, to see if you can get used to living alone. I just saw that everything in the refrigerator is gone. Did you eat it all by yourself?"
"Oh? You mean the food in the refrigerator? I was so hungry last night that I ate it all at once without thinking. I was still thinking about what to eat when I got up this morning, hehe."Naruto pretended to be stupid and said.
At the same time, he was a little confused.
【This old man Sarutobi didn't seem to notice the tattoo on my wrist. Can't he see it?】
"Did you suddenly feel very hungry last night?" Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at little Naruto in confusion, but he could not see anything unusual on Naruto's young face. He looked full and healthy, and the six lines on his beard did not disappear when the Nine-Tails was taken away.
Although he could not see what was wrong with Naruto, Sarutobi Hiruzen was vaguely worried, so he asked tentatively:"Did you feel particularly uncomfortable last night, or did you see any very scary monsters?"
"Monster?"Naruto pretended to be in deep thought, tilted his head and said doubtfully,"It seems - right, um - I felt like I dreamed of a very, very big fox last night, but it seemed to be locked up, and then I suddenly woke up, I was very hungry, and ate everything in the refrigerator."
As the saying goes, it is hardest to arouse suspicion when a child lies, not to mention that Naruto is not even four years old now.
After hearing Naruto say that the fox was imprisoned, Sarutobi Hiruzen also thought that there was nothing wrong with the seal in Naruto's body, it was just that little Naruto's consciousness inadvertently entered the sealed space in his body and saw the sealed Nine-Tails.
After all, he also learned a little about the sealed space in the body of the Jinchūriki from Naruto's mother, the previous generation of the Nine-Tails Jinchūriki Uzumaki Kushina, and with the Uzumaki clan's sealing methods, as long as the seal is not forcibly broken, it is almost impossible for the tailed beast in the Jinchūriki's body to get out of control and run away.
Therefore, Sarutobi Hiruzen also readily believed that it was just that the Nine-Tails was unwilling to be lonely and wanted to cause a little commotion, but it was obvious that it could not cause any harm to Naruto, as for the sudden hunger and overeating, perhaps it was because of Naruto's own physique.
The Uzumaki clan has extremely strong vitality and chakra, so it is normal to eat more food.
Sarutobi Hiruzen didn't think about it any more, and then said to Naruto,"Don't worry, little Naruto, I'll have someone bring you food later. If you dream about a big fox or a monster in the future, just ignore it, no one will hurt you."
Listening to Sarutobi Hiruzen's words, Naruto nodded very obediently and responded:"Okay, I understand, grandpa!"
Sarutobi Hiruzen was also very pleased, and then stood up and said with a smile:"It's getting late, and I should go. Little Naruto, if you want anything in the future, just tell me, grandpa will definitely help you."
Seeing that Sarutobi Hiruzen was about to leave, Naruto hurriedly said to keep him:"Grandpa, are you leaving so soon? I want you to stay with me for a while longer"
"Hahahaha!" Sarutobi Hiruzen's laughter was like an old bellows,"No, little Naruto, I also have my own job, and there are many things waiting for me to deal with. Let's do it another day. I will definitely play with you more next time when I have time."
Naruto tilted his head blankly:"There are so many things? Then can I help you, grandpa, I'm very strong." As he said that, he deliberately stretched out his left arm, clenched his fist and showed off his delicate biceps.
This was also a test for Naruto to see if Sarutobi Hiruzen really couldn't see the Ouroboros tattoo on his wrist.
Hearing Naruto's words, Sarutobi Hiruzen felt that he had control over the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki like a fish in water, and said happily:"Hahaha, no, no, you are still young, when you grow up, grandpa will naturally teach you more meaningful things."
"Okay, I got it. Goodbye, grandpa!"
Finally, Sarutobi Hiruzen left. Little Naruto breathed a sigh of relief when he felt that there was no one around. Then he looked at the Ouroboros tattoo on his left wrist and thought to himself,"It seems that other people can't see this tattoo. I don't know why this Ouroboros bracelet has to show a tattoo on my wrist. It's really inexplicable!"
Then Naruto made many attempts.
Whether it was closing his eyes to meditate or rubbing the Ouroboros tattoo, he couldn't enter his consciousness space again, which made Naruto extremely puzzled.
It was not until the Anbu arranged by Sarutobi Hiruzen came to bring food to Naruto that Naruto stopped trying.
However, since he saw the person arranged by the Third Generation, Naruto directly told him that he wanted to become a ninja and hoped that he could tell the Third Generation old man whether he could let him learn ninjutsu.
The Anbu just nodded in response and didn't pay much attention to Naruto.
But the next day, this Anbu ninja came to Naruto's house.
""Hey, Uncle Ninja, you're here? Is the Third-generation Grandpa willing to let me learn Ninjutsu?" Naruto asked impatiently.
The Anbu Ninja nodded first and then shook his head slightly, saying:"The Third-generation Grandpa didn't fully agree."
Little Naruto couldn't help but wonder:"Not fully agreed? What does that mean?""
"The Third Generation thinks that you are too young and your body is very fragile. Because practicing any ninjutsu is risky, no ninjutsu is absolutely safe."
""Ah? Does that mean that the Third-generation grandfather doesn't allow you to learn ninjutsu?" Little Naruto looked very disappointed. The
Anbu ninja shook his head and replied,"That's not the case. The Third-generation grandfather said that you can practice the chakra refining technique. You can slowly improve your own chakra first to lay a good foundation for learning ninjutsu in the future."
That's what I've been waiting for!"
Naruto knew very well that it would be quite difficult for him to learn real ninjutsu at his current age, unless he met Jiraiya who would give him some novels and magazines that would please him, maybe he could get some useful ninjutsu.
But Naruto didn't have the courage to meet Jiraiya now. After all, he no longer had the Nine-Tails. If Jiraiya found out that the five element seals on his body had disappeared, the tailed beasts were gone, and he was still alive, it would definitely arouse Jiraiya's suspicion. In short, Naruto now had no way to deal with Jiraiya.
As for being able to practice the chakra refining technique, it was also a result that Naruto expected. It was a pity that Sarutobi Hiruzen didn't let him learn the most basic three-body technique, otherwise it would at least further improve his control over chakra. Control.
Although he understood the importance of refining chakra, Naruto could only pretend to be dumb and asked what chakra refining was for. The
Anbu ninja also patiently explained to Naruto that chakra was the basis for practicing all ninjutsu, and it was a product of the combination of physical energy and spiritual energy extracted from the 130 trillion cells in the human body. The refined chakra will be spread throughout the meridians of the human body and circulate on its own. People with strong talents will refine much more chakra than others.
As for Naruto's deliberate questioning about his qualifications and whether he was a super genius, the Anbu ninja did not give a direct answer, but taught Naruto the chakra refining technique according to the task. Seeing that Naruto mastered the refining method easily, he turned and left.
"Oh? You mastered the chakra refining technique after just one practice?" Sarutobi Hiruzen was a little skeptical.
"Yes, I have seen it with my own eyes, Uzumaki Naruto is indeed very talented."
"Okay, I understand. You can leave now and keep watch over Naruto. Be especially careful not to let the Root people get in touch with him."Sarutobi Hiruzen gave the order expressionlessly while smoking his pipe.
"Yes, I will take my leave now!"
