Reincarnated as Naruto, Garp template

"I'm back, the third-generation old man!"

Hiruzen Sarutobi was covered in black lines at this moment.

You should know that after ordering the Dark Guard to invite Kazan, he immediately ran to open all the windows in his office and didn't even dare to close the door, just to guard against that bastard.

Now look what's happened! The glass is all shattered, it's outrageous!

"Couldn't you just use the main entrance, you bastard Kazan!"

Hiruzen Sarutobi's roar echoed throughout Konoha.

The villagers all turned to look in this direction.

The Hokage looks very energetic today!

..........

"It seems that this period of time has been very helpful to your growth."

Hiruzen Sarutobi looked at the boy before him; he was no longer the same as before.

His aura was sharp, possessing the awe-inspiring presence of the two heroes of Konoha back in the day.

Legendary puppeteer Chiyo, the Third Raikage, the demigod Hanzo the Salamander, the Third Tsuchikage Onoki...

Generation after generation of ninja legends died or were defeated by him, forging an invincible aura.

Chapter 150 Lord Kazan is too terrifying.

"There's no such thing as growth or not; it's just a matter of seeing more life and death."

Kazan walked to the desk, picked up something, and started eating.

These were all prepared for him in advance by Hiruzen Sarutobi, so that he wouldn't have to search through his office.

If others saw this, he, as the Hokage, would lose face.

"That's true..."

Hiruzen Sarutobi exhaled a heavy puff of smoke.

These ninjas grew up amidst war, blossoming in battle and perishing in battle.

Looking at Kazan before us, we see that he possesses the magnanimity of the First Hokage, who embraced all things, as well as the domineering presence of Madara Uchiha.

The best successor to the Hokage.

"Kazan, what is your dream?"

Are you Wang Banbi?

A powerful melody suddenly popped into Kazan's mind.

"Don't you know perfectly well what's going on?"

"I'll become the freest person in the entire ninja world!"

Hiruzen Sarutobi had certainly heard of this, and he said, "Living in a world like this, no one can be truly free."

"That's because they're not strong enough. Don't forget how Konoha was born and how that chaotic era ended."

Hiruzen Sarutobi would never forget.

Back then, he was the First Hokage, who led the Senju clan with the power of Wood Release to defeat the Uchiha clan in the final battle, and inspired Madara Uchiha with his own spirit.

Subsequently, the most powerful ninja clans in the ninja world joined forces to create the first ninja village in the ninja world, ushering in a new era.

"That's why you should become Hokage!"

Hiruzen Sarutobi fondly recalled those days and hoped that Kazan could restore Konoha to its former glory. In his excitement, he blurted out all the words he had been holding back.

Kazan paused in his eating, then said, "That's too much trouble. Don't you have a better candidate?"

He was referring to Minato Namikaze, but Hiruzen Sarutobi thought he was referring to Orochimaru.

Nowadays, many people in the village believe that Hiruzen Sarutobi will let his apprentice inherit the position of Fourth Hokage.

"Orochimaru's heart is filled with too much darkness!" His expression was somewhat forlorn.

Orochimaru was initially Hiruzen Sarutobi's best choice.

Time has passed, and the Second Shinobi World War has changed his perfect disciple.

Recognizing the fragility of life, Orochimaru became obsessed with various forbidden techniques, attempting to achieve immortality, and even joined forces with Danzo for this purpose.

What they did behind the scenes was something even he, the Hokage, wasn't entirely clear about.

"Orochimaru isn't as strong as you think."

Orochimaru isn't strong enough?

Orochimaru, as a villain, is someone who has survived from Shippuden to Boruto!

"His fear of death and his yearning for immortality are inherently weaknesses!" Hiruzen Sarutobi said earnestly. "But you are different, Kazan. You are strong, and you can make Konoha a better place!"

"No one is unafraid of death, and I am too." Kazan suddenly lost his appetite, his hands in his pockets. "You called me here just to say this?"

Seeing the resistance on his face, Hiruzen Sarutobi sighed silently in his heart.

The most perfect heir is, ironically, the one who least wants to inherit his position.

This left him speechless, unsure of what to say next.

He learned from the secret agents that Kazan's actions on the front lines went beyond simply defeating one powerful enemy after another.

Immediately after the battle, he treated his exhausted village comrades, even the Uchiha.

The true inheritor of the Will of Fire!

He knew very well that the Uchiha clan was eager to see Kazan succeed as Hokage in the future.

Orochimaru and Minato Namikaze are both unsuitable; Kazan is the one everyone wants!

At that time, Konoha will become more united than ever before and reach its true peak.

However, there's no rush now. Kazan is still young, and both he and Konoha can afford to wait.

"If you have nothing else, I'll head back now."

"Let's go back."

"Yes, Ghana."

Kazan climbed out of the window, stepping onto thin air, and went back to his home in the back mountains.

Now that he's a hero of Konoha, if he goes back, his old home's threshold will probably be trampled to pieces.

"Hokage? I might become Hokage if I feel like it someday, but forget about it now."

Kazan returned to the back mountain, and nothing had changed... what the hell!

The original log cabin has been demolished and transformed into a building with a strong Konoha (Legend of the Leaf Village) style.

There's even a small courtyard.

"What does the Third Hokage mean by this? Is he determined to make me the Hokage?"

Living behind the Hokage Building, this kind of treatment is truly unparalleled.

Then......

"Spiritual communication!"

"Oh!"

Hakimi was summoned to Konoha by him. As soon as it appeared, it pounced like a tiger, put its two paws on Kazan's shoulders, and licked him frantically.

"Don't get agitated, look around."

"Ow?"

Hakimi was stunned for a moment, looked around, and realized that he had actually gone home.

Excited, it let out a roar that resounded through the heavens and earth, and then leaped and bounded around the back mountain.

Unfortunately, it forgot how huge it was now, and every jump it made was like an earthquake.

Hiruzen Sarutobi looked at the shaking desk and thought, "That damn feeling is back again."

"Let's go, off on the hunt!"

"Ow!"

Kazan leaped onto the tiger, and Hakimi, without a word, ran towards the direction of the Death Forest.

Hakimi was very excited to be home again after such a long time.

The main thing is that I finally don't have to eat insects anymore.

It's the Tiger King, is it appropriate to feed it insects every day?

If the other tigers found out, they'd think Hakimi's teeth weren't sharp enough. If he weren't outmatched by the toads of Mount Myōboku, he would have eaten them all long ago!

Kazan quickly finished his hunt; the Dead Forest still had plenty of food.

During their encounter, they also met another tiger, and Hakimi's tail wagged as fast as a fan.

"You rascal, are you in heat?"

"Ow!"

It quickly said no, explaining that it was just excited because it hadn't seen its own kind for so long.

But those tiger eyes were clearly set on "herself," staring intently at the tigress's rear end.

"....... ...

Kazan jumped down and patted its big head.

Tigers are solitary animals, but this is the world of Naruto, where there are many intelligent beings.

"Who knows, this guy Hakimi might even develop into an entire ethnic group someday."

Is it possible to turn the Death Forest into the fourth holy site?

Kazan thought about it and realized it wasn't impossible.
