Konoha Check-In: Blackening Starts From Naruto

What should come will come sooner or later.

Naruto had expected that Third Hokage would find him, but he didn't expect it to be so soon.

Exhaling, nodding his head, Naruto walked in.

After seeing Naruto walk in, Iruka turned around and was about to leave, returning to the ninja school.

Apparently, Third Hokage had already told him to only meet Naruto alone.

Entering Hokage's office, Naruto quickly saw Third Hokage who was processing the documents, and shouted:

"Grandpa Hokage, I'm coming in."

Hearing Naruto's voice, Third Hokage put down the document in his hand, raised his head, narrowed his eyes, and soon showed a kind smile.

"Naruto, you are here. I heard that you have passed the graduation examination, I am so happy for the old man."

Naruto nodded with a smile on his face, pretending to be very happy.

The two chatted briefly for a while, and soon, Third Hokage went straight to the point, saying:

"Naruto, I've come to you this time because I want to ask you a few things."

"I heard from Iruka that Mizuki told you about the sealed book. Did you see Mizuki last night?"

While speaking, Third Hokage observed Naruto's expression.

Sure enough, as Naruto expected, Third Hokage called himself here because of the matter of the sealed book last night.

Mizuki is dead, dead in the forest behind Konoha.

Although Third Hokage didn't say it, how could Naruto not know.

A Chūnin died in a strange way, and Konoha couldn't find the murderer, which is no small matter.

So, Third Hokage approached Naruto, tested him, and wanted to set the tone.

But Naruto was already prepared, pretending to be confused, and said:

"No, Grandpa Hokage. Mizuki-sensei asked me to get the sealed book and wait for him, but I waited in the forest for a long time but didn't see him, and finally Iruka-sensei found me."

Naruto's statement is basically exactly the same as Iruka's report to Third Hokage.

Naruto insisted that he didn't see Mizuki last night, so no one would suspect Naruto.

After all, Mizuki is a Chūnin. Before getting the shadow technique, Naruto was still a good-for-nothing who couldn't understand the Clone Technique in their eyes, so how could he kill Mizuki quietly! It is impossible for anyone to think about it.

Third Hokage stared at Naruto for a while with eagle-like exquisite eyes, no matter how he looked, he couldn't see the slightest flaw.

Soon, Third Hokage withdrew his gaze, and his kind and amiable smile appeared again, saying:

"That's it, I see. It's okay, Naruto, you can go back. Your instructor will pick you up later. He is an outstanding Elite Jōnin in the village. You have to study hard with him."

"By the way, don't tell outsiders about the sealed book, it's a secret in the village."

Naruto nodded.

"Understood, Grandpa Hokage, then I'm leaving."

After speaking, Naruto turned and left.

The moment Naruto left, at some point, there was a figure in the corner of the office.

That figure was Danzo.

After Danzo appeared, he watched Naruto leave, and said indifferently:

"Sarutobi, what do you think?"

Third Hokage narrowed his eyes and said:

"I think this matter may have something to do with Orochimaru. Danzo, you don't have much to do with Orochimaru these days."

Danzo frowned: "You think Orochimaru did it?"

"Hmph, otherwise? Do you think I don't know that Mizuki wanted to take the sealed book and seek refuge with Orochimaru? Mizuki's body didn't show any signs of fighting, which means that he couldn't resist even if he wanted to, so he was easily killed. Konoha Ri There are very few people who can do this.”

At this moment, Third Hokage changed from normal, his originally kind expression was replaced by the indifference and majesty of the superior, and he reprimanded Danzo unceremoniously.

Danzo frowned and didn't argue with Third Hokage anymore, after all, he thought about the same thing as Third Hokage.

It seems that Third Hokage already thought that the murderer was Orochimaru, and they also thought that Mizuki was killed because he got a fake sealed book, which was worthless.

———————————

Go back to the ninja school classroom.

Most of the candidates have already been rhythmized by their guide Jōnin, leaving only Sasuke and little Sakura.

When Sasuke and little Sakura saw Naruto come back, unexpectedly they were very quiet, not in a hurry.

When little Sakura saw Naruto coming back, she smiled and said:

"Naruto, you're back. Our guide Jōnin hasn't arrived yet."

Naruto nodded.

Seeing that Naruto didn't say a word to herself, little Sakura was a little embarrassed. But she wasn't angry, she was just about to say something.

Suddenly, the wooden door of the classroom was opened again.

A man with a forehead protector on his head, and the forehead protector covering his left eye walked in.

The man squinted his eyes with a look on his face, and smiled at Naruto and the others.

This man is Naruto and their guide Jōnin, the well-known copy ninja in the village, Hatake Kakashi!

I thought it would take a while for Hatake Kakashi to come, but I didn't expect that just as Naruto arrived on the front foot, Kakashi also came on the back foot, just as agreed.

"Yeah, I kept you waiting. I am your guide, Jōnin, Hatake Kakashi!"
