"Ah, so full!"

Not long after nightfall, Naruto, who had a satisfied look on his stomach, walked out of Yiluo Ramen with a slapped in his stomach.

In the deep night, the moonlight is bright, but the lights in Konoha Village are brightly lit and have entered the night mode.

With the development and research of ninjutsu, the scope of Konoha Village has been expanding continuously, and it has become a large city and is developing towards a city that never sleeps.

Naruto is particularly happy today because he has finally officially become a ninja, which is of great significance to him who desires recognition.

Although he is not like the original book, and he has some friends in the school, most people in the village will still look at him with strange eyes and have vague hostility towards him.

He even knew that after he returned from the catastrophe of Datong Mu Jinshi, some ninjas had secretly expressed their feelings, such as the guy would have been fine if he didn't come back.

Naruto pretended not to know about this private statement, but buried it deeply in his heart. He didn't know why he was hated by others, but the more he was like this, the more he wanted to get recognition from others.

Fortunately, I have become a ninja now and are closer to Naruto’s goal! No matter what others think, at least Naruto really thinks that in his heart.

Just as he was heading towards his home along the street, a sparsely populated Hu, a ninja in black wearing a fox mask suddenly appeared.

The moment the opponent appeared, Naruto subconsciously took a step back, his eyes instantly becoming solemn, and he took an attacking posture.

The ninja who had just appeared exclaimed in his heart. It is not common for such reactions to have even in the Shinin who have been growing up for several years. Naruto Uzumaki is worthy of being the number one graduate this time.

"Who?" Naruto asked in a low voice.

The ninja wearing a fox mask said, "Naruto Uzumaki, Lord Naruto, please come."

"Three generation old man?" Naruto said in confusion, put away his guard, and subconsciously scratched his head. It was so late, he really couldn't think of the reason for Naruto to find him.

...

Not long after, Naruto followed the Ninja of Anbe to the Naruto building. In front of the door of the Naruto room, the ninja said: "Sir Naruto is waiting for you inside, just go in alone."

Before he finished speaking, he had turned into a black shadow and disappeared.

Naruto scratched his head and pushed the door straight into the room. The lights were on, but the lights were not bright. The third generation Naruto sat on his rotating chair, facing his back to the entrance, staring at the village outside the glass in a daze in the smoke.

Looking from this direction, most of the village can see the view, and the kalami at night has a unique view.

Hearing the sound of pushing the door, the third generation of Naruto did not look back, but said calmly: "Is it Naruto? Let's sit down."

Naruto then noticed a chair not far from the table, but he didn't think much about it and went forward to sit down.

There is usually only one chair in the Naruto room, that is the one where Naruto is sitting. Others, even if Danzo comes, will not add a second one.

This is also why Danzo doesn't like to come to the Naruto studio. He prefers to debate with Sarutobi Hinazon in the conference room, because both of them were sitting at that time, which would make him feel that both sides are equal.

When Naruto sat down, the third Naruto slowly turned the chair, looked at him head-on, took off the pipe in his mouth, and a breath of smoke was slowly exhaled.

"Naruto, congratulations first on graduation today." The third generation Naruto whispered, his voice changing from his previous seriousness and kindness, like an old man from his neighbor's house.

"Uh!" Naruto was obviously stunned by this way of greeting. This was the first time he saw the third generation of Naruto, and he didn't know how to answer for a while.

However, when he looked up, he keenly saw the wrinkles on the third generation of Naruto's face and the deep lines of the old man under the corners of his eyes.

After entering the sixty, the third generation of Naruto's body quickly went downhill, and the old injuries in the past showed signs of an outbreak. Calculate his age, he is already 68 years old this year, and among all ninjas, he can truly call him old.

Seeing Naruto's reaction, the third generation Naruto chuckled and waved his hand, "Don't be nervous, there is nothing else to do today, but you have graduated, and from tomorrow, you will truly become a ninja. Some things should be known to you, such as your life experience."

This sentence hit Naruto's heart. As his eyes contracted invisibly, his heart pounded twice, and he asked subconsciously: "Grandpa 3rd generation, do you know my life experience?"

If there is anything that can make Naruto excited now, it is undoubtedly his own life experience. It is hard for people who have never experienced it to imagine that uncared child, and they only spent countless cold days and nights alone.

Naruto has asked himself countless times, who his parents are, and why he left himself alone to face the cold eyes of the village.

The third generation of Naruto did not answer his words directly, but took a deep breath of cigarettes and suddenly asked: "I heard that you want to be a Naruto, so what do you think of the village and Konoha?"

"Uh!" Naruto was stunned. The third generation of Naruto's question came too suddenly, and to be fair, this question was too profound for Naruto today.

However, he was still seriously in deep thought, and after a moment he looked up seriously, "This is my home. No matter how others look at me, I was born and raised here. There are many people who hate me, and I know that, but I can also feel that they do not hate me. Under that surface, there is fear, and they are afraid of me.

So...so I have always wanted to work hard, become stronger, work hard to contact others, and be optimistic. Naruto is the strongest ninja in the village and the most prestigious ninja, so I want to become Naruto. As long as I become Naruto, I can get everyone's recognition.

No matter what others say, in Konoha, there are my friends, my teachers, my memories, and my dreams. This is my home!"
