Chapter 14: Forest Attack

Time flies, years pass.

It has been more than a month since Naruto returned to the village.

It should be because the Third Hokage hid the information about Naruto's return, Naruto's life has been stable and peaceful this month.

During this month, Naruto went out to set up a stall once a week.

He has basically become friends with the people nearby, and everyone loves this cute and polite little guy.

Naruto was also very capable and would always leave some meat for nearby vendors after selling it.

During this month, Choji Akimichi often came to play with Naruto and introduced him to Shikamaru Nara.

Of course, in order to give back to the two little guys, Naruto would take them to the forest to cook for them every now and then. Naruto, who had mastered the secret of cooking, had made great progress in his cooking skills.

If the meals we cooked before were just home-cooked dishes, now they are considered state banquets.

The Third Hokage, who had made an agreement with Naruto, would come to actively guide Naruto's practice every day, especially after tasting Naruto's roasted chicken for the second time.

He set a rule for Naruto that he must appear in the forest on time every morning and he personally guided Naruto.

Of course, Naruto also knew clearly that this old pervert was not doing this to guide him in his training, but to get a free meal.

In addition, Naruto would remind the third generation to pick up the strange books that were accidentally dropped from time to time.

After this happened repeatedly, the Third Generation knew that it was all Naruto's doing. But everyone knew what he did, and no one pointed it out. There was nothing they could do, because this was their weak spot.

It was just that Naruto was suffering from the progress in his training. After all, he was only three years old, and he didn't dare to reveal too much of his strength. He could only practice step by step according to the guidance of the third generation. And he didn't dare to progress too fast, he wanted to create a diligent and useless personality for everyone. In this way, he wouldn't encounter too many troubles in the days to come.

It was only a month, but it was hard for Kakashi, as Naruto's current secret bodyguard, he was conscientious and dedicated to the Hokage's orders. Kakashi thought he was always protecting Naruto in secret, but in fact, as long as he entered the forest, Naruto could sense his every move.

Of course, for an elite ninja working in the Anbu, these are all child's play. After all, when his master's wife was pregnant, he protected her in secret for a full 10 months.

What he couldn't stand was Naruto's cooking skills. Every day when he came to the forest to practice, barbecue was an indispensable thing.

In this month, Naruto has acquired the secret of cooking, and his proficiency is getting higher and higher. So the taste is naturally getting better and better.

Kakashi could naturally smell the fragrance getting better day by day. However, he could only smell the fragrance but not taste it. For him who could only eat dry food every day, it was undoubtedly a huge torture.

Somewhere in Konoha, in a dark environment.

An old man was standing there with a cane, and opposite him was a masked ninja half-kneeling.

"Have you found out?" the old man asked in a hoarse voice.

"Danzo-sama. So far, we have only found out that the little boy was indeed brought back by Jiraiya-sama. His name is Uzumaki Naruto. As for other information, it seems that someone has deliberately blocked it." The half-kneeling ninja replied.

"Haha, Hiruzen, you are amazing. You can hide the information of a kid so well. It seems that this kid is not that simple. Go, bring that kid back to me."

Danzo muttered to himself and then said, "Since you are trying so hard to hide it, I can only do it myself."

As a commander hidden deep in the darkness of Konoha, his ability to acquire intelligence is naturally extremely strong.

Ever since Jiraiya brought back the little devil a month ago, his every move has been controlled by Danzo.

Especially since the Third Hokage would go to the forest almost every day to guide the kid in his training, which deepened his suspicion.

After all, the village had already stipulated that any child who turned 5 years old could enter the ninja school. So why would the Third Generation do this, especially since he was personally guiding them?

In this regard, Danzo was deeply confused about the identity of the child.

Combined with the fact that Jiraiya brought the child back personally, and analyzed the child's appearance, an incredible idea emerged in his mind.

He has yellow hair and is three years old. The timeline is exactly the same as the incident. His appearance is also basically the same. And his name is Uzumaki Naruto. So this child is most likely the child of the Fourth Generation.

If so, then that thing might also be in that child.

If this is really the case, then we must keep him under control.

Then Danzo Shimura waved.

Another ninja flashed out from the darkness.

Danzo ordered, "You should go too, and make sure to bring the child back."

The ninja bowed respectfully and said, "It's Danzo-sama."

Then he disappeared in place.

On the other side, Naruto had finished his training for today. It was already dark. Naruto packed up a little and prepared to return home.

He took only two steps before he suddenly stopped. Because within his perception range, a figure was rushing towards him at a very fast speed. Naruto frowned. It seemed to be coming towards him.

But when Mo Yu was about 500 meters away from him, the figure was suddenly intercepted by another figure, Hatake Kakashi.

Naruto didn't pay too much attention to this matter and continued walking towards home.

But just when he was about to walk out of the forest, Naruto felt that the surrounding environment suddenly became eerily quiet.

Naruto closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, his eyes turned white, and veins popped out around them.

Eye roll, open.

When he looked forward again, he saw a figure hiding behind a big tree.

"Come out," Naruto whispered.

The ninja hiding in the dark was surprised. He really couldn't figure out how a 3-year-old kid found him. But he didn't care.

Then he walked out, only about 5 meters away from Naruto, and said, "Little boy, come with me. Don't try to resist, you can't run away."

Naruto saw the man wearing a black robe and a mask. He was not scared and asked, "Uncle, did Shimura Danzo send you here?"

The ninja was shocked. Only he and Master Danzo knew about this matter, so how did this kid know it? A feeling of fear spread instinctively in his heart. Then he pulled out a kunai from his sleeve and held it in his hand.

Naruto looked at the other party's reaction and a wicked smile appeared on his face.

"Haha, it looks like I guessed right. So there's no need to hold back."
