Reincarnated as Naruto, Garp template

"Well done, Kazan, you've finally done something good!"

"Well done! Let's see if the Uchiha will dare to be so arrogant again..."

The villagers shouted loudly, their long-standing resentment towards the Uchiha even making them forget the destruction caused by Kazan.

........

The news quickly reached the Hokage's ears.

Hiruzen Sarutobi, who was currently troubled by the border war, was stunned to hear that Kazan, who had only been behaving himself for a day, had gone to fight the Uchiha again.

He clutched his forehead, his head throbbing, and ordered, "Go and bring him back quickly. Don't let him fall into the hands of the Uchiha."

Hiruzen Sarutobi really doesn't understand why the genius from his own village always has so many trivial problems.

Orochimaru is neglecting his duties and suddenly going off to do some kind of research, and now he's even hanging out with Danzo.

Jiraiya, despite being one of the Legendary Sannin, surpassed his master by neglecting his duties and spending his days spying at the bathhouse.

Tsunade is even more outrageous. The princess of Konoha is more known for her "easy target" nature than her status as one of the Legendary Sannin, as she almost always loses when gambling.

If it weren't for the Thousand Hands clan's deep pockets, they would have gambled away everything and been sold into prostitution long ago!

Now she's even become a runaway princess of Konoha...

It's this generation's turn!

Kakashi was a problem child who had been complained about by four Jonin teachers in a row.

Kazan wasn't much better; he was constantly getting into fights and causing trouble.

Can't you guys be a little more mature and learn from Minato?

Nine out of ten geniuses in Konoha are only 7th-tier!

Chapter 13 The Old Fox

"A crater 5 meters in diameter was created in the street, and a 60-square-meter house was damaged..."

"This is what you've done, Kazan!!!"

In the Hokage's office, Hiruzen Sarutobi roared at Kazan.

That attitude was as hysterical as when Sengoku treated Garp.

Kazan remained silent upon hearing this, behaving unusually docilely.

"Say something!"

“…Then I’ll tell you.” Kazan scratched his head, but what he said was enough to make someone vomit blood. “I didn’t expect his body to be so tough that I could smash such a big hole in him.”

Cough cough cough~~~

Hiruzen Sarutobi almost choked to death on the smoke in his mouth.

"I didn't tell you to say that!"

"Why did you go and fight with Uchiha Jun?"

Looking at the tiger-headed and chubby-faced Kazan, Hiruzen Sarutobi couldn't help but roar again.

The birds standing near the Hokage Building all flapped their wings and flew far away at his roar.

"I want to see just how strong I really am. But the others at the school aren't strong enough, or tough enough! Kakashi doesn't have time. The Uchiha clan is the best opponent I can think of."

You know the Uchiha clan is not to be trifled with, right?

"Don't you know, if I hadn't acted quickly enough, you would have already been taken away by the Uchiha?"

Do I have to tell you the consequences of being taken away by them, word by word?

Hiruzen Sarutobi leaned on his desk with both hands and said irritably.

"Tell me, why have you been specifically looking for people to fight lately?"

Kazan didn't answer directly, but instead asked, "Third Hokage, has the ninja world been rather turbulent lately?"

"Who told you that?"

"No one told me, but I could see it. The village ninjas came back with very strange expressions."

Is it that obvious already?

Hiruzen Sarutobi's anger subsided, and he let out a sigh.

The Third Kazekage of Sunagakure has been missing for a very long time, so long that the Sand Village has concluded that the Third Kazekage is dead.

The leader of Sunagakure is temporarily being taken over by the legendary puppeteer, Granny Chiyo.

Although Granny Chiyo is a woman, she has an exceptionally fiery temper.

They have now set their sights on the other four major ninja villages.

Apart from the four major ninja villages, the smaller ninja villages lack the capability to secretly assassinate the Third Kazekage, who is known as the strongest Kazekage.

Sunagakure's probing touched a nerve with other ninja villages, and as tensions escalated, border battles became increasingly frequent.

At this moment, hatred and anger are rapidly accumulating on the borders of various countries, and no one can guarantee when war will break out completely.

Hiruzen Sarutobi wouldn't tell Kazan these things, but he secretly held Kazan in even higher regard.

He may seem carefree, but he's actually very perceptive.

"You don't need to worry about these things. What you need to do now is promise me that you won't go looking for fights anymore, especially not those ninja clans in the village. Can you do that?"

I'll try my best.

"I won't try my best. If there's a next time, I won't be able to protect you either! Now, get out of here and fix the place you damaged. I'll allow you to use the technique Kakashi taught you."

The old man really did know.

Kazan thought to himself that none of the people in power in Konoha were easy to get along with, but he still showed a surprised expression.

"Three generations of old men, you...you know?"

"Hmph, don't underestimate the Hokage, brat."

Hiruzen Sarutobi smiled smugly.

Every move the village made was under his surveillance.

Besides his elite secret service unit, he also possessed the skill of using a telescope.

Anyone he sets his sights on will have their information appear on his desk.

Unless the target's abilities exceed those of the Dark Side.

For example, Orochimaru and Danzo, as well as the Hyuga and Uchiha clans, could only be monitored from a distance and could not be infiltrated.

........

"That old fox is really hard to deal with."

After leaving the Hokage Building, a look of wisdom appeared on Kazan's usually carefree face.

The old man was very skilled at managing people.

In all his life, he had only had close contact with Hiruzen Sarutobi in the last few days.

However, during their two encounters, Hiruzen Sarutobi displayed both a "roaring" attitude and a "frustration" akin to being helpless towards his grandson.

They silently closed the distance between themselves and others, eliminating that sense of distance.

"No wonder Itachi and Shisui were later tricked by him into becoming complete adversaries of their clans."

People like that are terrifying.

"But since he put on such a show in front of me, it at least proves that I've caught the Hokage's eye. From now on, I'm someone with connections!"

Kazan is even more excited about the class assignments after graduation.

Could it be Minato Namikaze?

Although Yongdai Mei always seemed to be a step behind at crucial moments, her life was filled with regrets.

The fourth generation doesn't have much screen time, and every time he appears, he has a sunny smile on his face, making people overlook everything else.

Throughout his life, however, he was always accompanied by the regret of being "one step too late".

He is known as the fastest ninja in the world.

However, he was unable to save student Uchiha Obito in time.

During the Nine-Tails' rampage, out of a sense of responsibility, he prioritized dealing with the Nine-Tails' crisis, but objectively he was a step too late.

This "one step behind" setting permeated Minato Namikaze's entire life, perfectly showcasing the capriciousness of fate.

Regardless, Minato Namikaze was one of the most important figures in the Third Shinobi World War.

"Hey, why think so much? Let's build the road."

Kazan has returned to his job as a cement worker.

The fact that the person supervising was Konoha's Anbu made the guards, who were from the Uchiha clan, grit their teeth in anger.

They have complained to the clan leader, who also went to the Hokage Building to protest, but was stopped by Hiruzen Sarutobi.

The Uchiha clan members couldn't understand why the Third Hokage was so determined to protect this kid.

How could an ordinary person possibly be superior to the Uchiha clan?

They didn't understand; all they knew was that Kazan had brought shame upon their Uchiha clan.

In broad daylight, they beat their clan's genius into a hospital, and he still hasn't woken up.

"Kazan? What are you doing here?"

Kurenai Yuhi's voice rang out.

Kazan looked up and saw Kurenai Yuhi walking with her companions, seemingly on a shopping trip.

"It's nothing. I just saw that the road was damaged, and I couldn't help but fix it so as not to affect the villagers."

"What do you mean you couldn't help but do it? Why don't you say who destroyed the road? And this house too?"

Mitarashi Anko mercilessly exposed his lie.
