Hikaru looks surprised when he heard the Hokage. He forgot that his darksign is in the back of his left hand, even though it's covered with blood because of the Kunai piercing it earlier, the fiery look of the darksign is still quite noticeable.

He also wonders why the Darksign is in his left hand, in the game you can see the darksign in the chest of your character, the appearance was like dozens of worms decided to stick together and become one. But his darksign in his left hand is nothing like that, it's a red fiery-like circle on the back of his palm, as the picture design of the darksign in the game.

Hikaru looks at the Third Hokage and said, "But you still haven't told me why you kept Naruto's gender a secret, and honestly, I'm quite curious."

Then Hiruzen's face grew serious and he said, "Hikaru, the other reason why I kept Naruto's gender a secret is because of the law that was put by the First' Council: Once a clan is down to a few numbers, they will have to breed to other people once they reach a certain age for the clan's bloodline to go on. And I can't have Naruto to breed to other men like rabbits just to continue this vile law, because she is the last heir of Uzugakure."

Even though Hikaru already knows about Naruto being the heir of Uzugakure because of her mother being the princess of that land, but he did not know that such a vulgar law was placed in this village. And quite frankly, he did not like it.

"What?! Such a worthless and vile law was actually put in this village?! How dare they!" Hikaru lost his cool for a sec and said that.

Hikaru calmed down after a few moments and he apologized, "I'm sorry, I lost my cool for a moment there."

"It's understandable why you would react like that, but you should keep quiet for Naruto is just outside this door and she doesn't know that her gender is a female, I will only tell her that once she becomes a genin and be put under the Hokage's instead of the civilian council," Hiruzen admitted.

'What? Even she herself doesn't know she is a girl? It's not that I'm blaming the Hokage here, but Naruto is really quite dumb for not seeing it herself, for god sake, it's her own freaking body! ' Hikaru thought incredulously.

"Is that gonna be all, Hokage-dono?" Hikaru asked.

"No, I still have something to tell you. Since you're the only friend of Naruto right now, I will give you an S-Class mission to protect her at all costs. I can't trust my shinobis at the moment, and that goes for everyone. Even I can't trust Kakashi, almost everyone in the village currently bears some hatred against Naruto for holding the Kyuubi and I can't be there for her because of my duty as a Hokage. So, can you do it? Of course, I'll give you allowance as your pay for this mission, " Hiruzen told to Hikaru.

Hikaru thought about it and finally came to an agreement with the Hokage, "I'm Naruto's friend at the moment, so please, let me protect her as a friend, " he bows to prove his point.

As Hiruzen looks at the boy in front of him, he couldn't help but tear up, 'Ah, Minato, Kushina, your daughter will finally have a friend that could protect her. A friend that will stay with her, so please, help me live a little bit longer so I can see what future both of them hold, ' he said in his thoughts.

After agreeing to the Hokage's request, he told Naruto to come in. Hiruzen decided that both of them will live together from now on, so Hikaru could be close to her at all times.

Naruto jumped up and down when she learned that, she was really excited about them living together, and still is.

As the two of them walks to her house, Hikaru smiles at her enthusiasm. He is really liking this world and he wish that this is not a dream. A boring life is something he do not want, only people with dull ambition would like that.

All of this is a plan created by Hiruzen for the future of Naruto. He made a promise with her parents to protect her, so he will keep his promise to both of them. After all, he's just a old geezer right now. Hah hah hah!
