My two-dimensional resident

As the teacher of the protagonist Naruto Uzumaki, Lin Tian has a relatively good impression of the character Kakashi Hatake.

"Seize the other tailed beasts? You're declaring war on the entire ninja world. Do you think I'd agree to that request?"

Kakashi rolled his eyes, inwardly complaining that Lin Tian had absolutely no idea about the strategic significance of the Tailed Beasts in various countries.

"If you don't agree, then I'll go talk to your boss."

Lin Tian was not surprised by Kakashi's refusal. As more and more ninjas surrounded him, he calmly walked towards the Third Hokage.

The Third Generation, who was being helped up by his subordinates, had lost all his fighting ability. The reason he did not faint was because he was holding on by the belief in his heart.

The Will of Fire will never be extinguished.

When the ninjas saw Lin Tian walking towards the Hokage, they assumed he intended to assassinate him. A dozen Anbu ninjas and more than twenty uniformed ninjas quickly used the Body Flicker Technique to appear in front of the Third Hokage, their expressions serious as they guarded against Lin Tian.

With each step Lin Tian took closer to them, their hearts pounded.

They had just launched an attack on Lin Tian, ​​but his wall of flames blocked all his ninjutsu and ninja tools.

Faced with such a mysterious enemy, they no longer dare to underestimate them.

"Don't be so tense. That punch I gave you just now was to avenge the villagers you abandoned."

"The village chief, the leader of the largest armed group in the Land of Fire, faces discordant voices within the village."

"Instead of trying to win them back and make them love the village again, you chose to abandon them and kill them. What a dereliction of duty."

"If Hashirama knew about this, do you think he'd crawl out of his coffin and come after you?"

Lin Tian walked ten meters away from the third generation, stopped, and said slowly with a mocking tone.

"Who exactly are you?"

The Third Hokage's face turned cold; he understood the meaning behind Lin Tian's words. He was being criticized for wiping out the Uchiha clan for the sake of the village's stability.

But this matter was already beyond his control. As the Hokage, his tacit acceptance of the Uchiha's annihilation was something he had no choice but to do.

He has done so much for Konoha Village and is willing to give up anything, including his kindness.

If the Uchiha clan, harboring rebellious intentions, is not destroyed, then one day the Uchiha will surely turn against the entire Hidden Leaf Village.

The third generation never regretted any of his choices; he would do anything for the village.

"Lin Tian is a traveler. He likes to visit different places. Your village is nice, so I came here."

"Then why did you take the Nine-Tails?"

A traveler? The Third Generation wouldn't believe such a clumsy lie. But the opponent was too strong; he hadn't even had time to react to the punch that landed on him.

As a Kage-level powerhouse and the leader of a village, the Third Hokage was filled with anger, but he had to suppress it.

If we really go to war with these two, the entire village might be destroyed.

"You mean Kurama? It doesn't belong to your world. None of the tailed beasts belong to this world."

"As a traveler, I don't want this beautiful world to be destroyed. So I'm eliminating these potential threats in advance. In that respect, you should be thanking me."

Compared to the tense atmosphere on the third generation's side, Lin Tian and Artoria's side was more relaxed and at ease.

"The Tailed Beasts have existed on this continent since ancient times. How could they not belong to our world? Do you think I would believe these lies you're telling me?"

The Third Hokage said angrily in a deep voice. If he weren't wary of Lin Tian's strength, he would have already ordered the surrounding ninjas to capture him.

Whether you believe it or not is your business. If you do, you should thank me. If you don't, what can you do to me?

Lin Tian smiled slightly, and after he finished speaking, a powerful aura of Conqueror's Haki emanated from his body and spread outwards.

In an instant, all the ninjas surrounding him were covered by this powerful Conqueror's Haki. Before they could even react to what kind of ninjutsu it was, they all lost consciousness and collapsed to the ground.

Of course, Lin Tian precisely controlled the pressure of Conqueror's Haki, preventing the Third Hokage and several other powerful ninjas from losing consciousness.

However, even those who weren't unconscious were suffering. The powerful Conqueror's Haki prevented them from standing up, forcing them to crouch on the ground.

Their faces showed fear as they struggled to lift their heads and look up at Lin Tian.

At this moment, in their eyes, Lin Tian was like an arrogant and domineering demon king.

"Hiruzen Sarutobi, I'm now giving you a task: have Kakashi act as your guide and take me to other countries to find the Tailed Beasts. The reward is an apple. You should accept this request, right?"

Lin Tian slowly walked up to the Third Hokage, then squatted down and looked at the Third Hokage, who was supporting himself on his hands and sweating profusely.

"You!" The Third Hokage stared at Lin Tian in horror. He couldn't understand why Lin Tian, ​​who possessed such terrifying strength, had never been heard of in the ninja world before.

Logically, someone possessing strength surpassing Kage level, and not deliberately concealing their whereabouts, should have been detected by ninjas from various countries long ago.

I promise you!

Kakashi, who was standing to the side, looked at his unconscious companion lying on the ground and agreed to Lin Tian's request before the Third Hokage could speak.

As an ANBU ninja, he frequently handles assassination missions and has been in constant combat with others, making him extremely sensitive to killing intent.

The terrifyingly powerful young man before him had never shown any killing intent towards the ninjas of Konoha since he arrived.

Since the other party didn't show any murderous intent towards them, what they said might be true. He was just a tourist in the village; putting aside the Nine-Tails incident, he simply wanted to be their tour guide.

Kakashi was willing to sacrifice his life for the entire village.

"Kakashi!" The Third Hokage stared at Kakashi in astonishment, his cloudy eyes filled with a complex expression.

"Lord Sandai has the power to destroy our village, but he hasn't done so. If we don't give in to his demands, no one can withstand his wrath."

Kakashi's pale face betrayed utter despair. He desperately analyzed the pros and cons for the Third Hokage, hoping only that the Third Hokage would agree to Lin Tian's request.

The Third Hokage was well aware that Lin Tian was not someone Konoha Village could contend with; he was simply unwilling to accept it.

"Let me be your guide. As the Hokage of Konoha, I have a lot of information about the Tailed Beasts."

"No, you're too old."

Lin Tian rolled his eyes at the third generation, thinking how tedious it was to have an elderly man nearing seventy as his tour guide.

Lin Tian couldn't bear to let San Dai cook for him, given his frail physique.

"You should have accepted my commission earlier; you had to waste my time."

Ignoring the Third Hokage, Lin Tian approached Kakashi, took out an apple, and handed it to him.

"This is your reward for completing the mission. Eat it."

"..."

"Oh, sorry, I forgot you can't move right now."

Seeing Kakashi lying on the ground with his eyes rolling back, Lin Tianqian smiled and deactivated his Conqueror's Haki.

After the oppressive force that had been pressing down on him disappeared, Kakashi stood up, glanced at Lin Tian who was all smiles, and then solemnly took the apple from his hand.

"As expected of a future Hokage, he's adaptable. But his chakra is too low. Two hours to charge, five minutes to run. Let's go find the Eight-Tails and the Two-Tails!"

Seeing Kakashi finish the apple, Lin Tian laughed loudly, patted Kakashi on the shoulder, and then waved, preparing to head to the Land of Lightning.

As he passed in front of the Third Hokage and several other ninjas, they all took a few steps back.

The fear from the Conqueror's Haki had not yet dissipated from their souls.

Lin Tian merely raised the corners of his mouth slightly in response to the ninjas' behavior, ignoring them completely.

"Brother Lin Tian! I want to go with you!"

Just a few meters after Lin Tian and his two companions had walked away, Naruto Uzumaki suddenly ran over and shouted at Lin Tian.

Lin Tian turned around and looked at Naruto Uzumaki's determined face with some surprise.

This little guy was right next to Artoria the whole time and wasn't affected by Conqueror's Haki. He witnessed everything that just happened.

"I don't know ninjutsu, so I can't teach you anything."

"But Brother Lin Tian can defeat Grandpa Hokage, he must be an extremely powerful ninja, how could he not know ninjutsu? You're lying!"

When Naruto saw that Lin Tian was unwilling to take him away, he looked disappointed.

"Do you think I'm too weak...?"

"Naruto, you can't leave Konoha."

The Third Hokage was greatly alarmed when he saw Naruto wanting to leave with Lin Tian. Naruto was the child entrusted to him by the Fourth Hokage. He had promised to ensure Naruto's healthy growth.

Although the person before them was extremely powerful, if he were to truly collect all the tailed beasts, he would be making an enemy of the entire ninja world.

The Third Hokage was afraid that Naruto, who was with Lin Tian at that time, would encounter danger.

"Brother Lin Tian, ​​I'll do anything you ask me to do, as long as you can take me with you. I want to be Hokage, and I don't care how much suffering I have to endure."

Naruto seemed not to hear the Third Hokage's words; he stared intently at Lin Tian with unwavering resolve.

He only hoped that Lin Tian could take him away and teach him cultivation.

Lin Tian looked at Naruto, and the image of Naruto being mischievous and naughty in the first episode of "Naruto" flashed through his mind.

Compared to the current Naruto, he's practically a different person.

"Lin Tian, ​​why don't we take him with us? I can teach him cultivation."

Artoria looked at Naruto's teary eyes and his unwavering will, and her heart softened. She spoke to Lin Tian.

"Hmm...okay. Anyway, bringing one burden is the same as bringing two, it's still just one ticket."

Lin Tian nodded and pondered for a moment, then glanced at Kakashi beside him and agreed to Artoria's request.

"Wow, that's great!"

Naruto happily ran towards them after hearing Lin Tian's agreement, but was unexpectedly grabbed by the Third Hokage's shoulder.

"Grandpa Hokage, let me go! I want to train with Brother Lin Tian. When I become stronger, I'll be the next Hokage!"

"Naruto, you can't go..." The Third Hokage looked at Naruto with immense bitterness, unable to bear watching Naruto leave Konoha.

"Hiruzen Sarutobi, destroying a child's dream is not the behavior of a Hokage."

Lin Tian looked at the third generation and snorted coldly.

"Grandpa Hokage!" Naruto looked at the Third Hokage expectantly.

Seeing this, the Third Hokage could only close his eyes in anguish and release Naruto's shoulders.

Naruto felt a lightness in his body and quickly ran towards Lin Tian.

The old man behind him, in the instant he left, became an ordinary old man.
